January 26, 2024
It’s our arts and culture week in review. First up, the Oscar nominations –the surprises, usual suspects, and snubs that are sparking controversy in Barbieland. Plus, an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art featuring nude performance artists intending to pose questions about comfort levels, instead resulted in assault allegations. From there, Jon Stewart is jumping into the 2024 race, resuming his role on The Daily Show for what seems like an inevitable Trump and Biden rematch. But will his return feel more like an “also ran?” Then we offer an amuse-bouche with a look at the local James Beard Awards semifinalists. Finally, how tone deaf is Hollywood? Now musicians are threatening to strike if the movie industry doesn’t secure streaming residuals and protections from AI.
