The Academy Awards returned to Los Angeles this Sunday night and saw Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer sweep the ceremony. Its stars Cillian Murphy and Robert Downey Jr. collected acting Oscars alongside Poor Things’ Emma Stone and The Holdovers’ Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and they all have some impressive TV credits under their belt.

Cillian Murphy – Peaky Blinders

Cillian Murphy doesn’t have too many TV credits to his name, but sometimes, less is more. His character Tommy Shelby is one of the most beloved anti-heroes of the 2010s, and Peaky Blinders wouldn’t be the same without him.

Robert Downey Jr. – The Sympathizer

Robert Downey Jr. hasn’t taken a major TV role since playing Larry Paul in Ally McBeal over two decades ago, but that’s about to change. He’ll next appear in HBO’s black comedy The Sympathizer, based on Viet Thanh Nguyen’s Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

Emma Stone – The Curse

Emma Stone is pretty picky when it comes to her TV projects, and her choices are always spot-on. Black comedies seem to be her forte, and she starred in The Curse alongside Nathan Fielder and Benny Safdie, in addition to previously leading Netflix’s Maniac.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph – High Fidelity

Unlike the rest of the Oscar winners this year, Da’Vine Joy Randolph has a pretty long list of TV credits to her name. We’ve seen her star in The Idol, Only Murders in the Building, and Empire, but her supporting role in the short-lived Hulu series High Fidelity remains our personal favorite.

Colony

Weathers always felt right at home in police procedurals, but if you want to see him explore different genres, his recurring role in the sci-fi series Colony is also worth checking out.

My Life with Walter the Boys created quite a splash after premiering on Netflix last month, and it already received a Season 2 renewal. If you quickly binged through all ten episodes and are craving some more teen drama, here are three similar shows you should watch ASAP.

The Summer I Turned Pretty

The Summer I Turned Pretty is the closest thing you’ll find to Walter Boys, and their loglines sound pretty much the same. Based on Jenny Han’s hit book trilogy, this Amazon Prime Video drama centers on a teenage girl Belly, who experiences her first heartbreak after finding herself stuck in a love triangle with two brothers she grew up with.

XO, Kitty

This Netflix series is the spin-off of the streamer’s hit teen franchise To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, based on another beloved Jenny Han book. It centers on Lara Jean’s younger sister Kitty, as she embarks on a journey to find true love while attending the same boarding school as her late mom.

Never Have I Ever

If you’re a sucker for a good love triangle but crave a show with a more comedic tone, Never Have I Ever will be your cup of tea. This Netflix teen comedy centers on Indian-American high schooler Devi Vishwakumar, as she deals with the ups and downs of teenage life in the wake of her father’s sudden death.

Anime are never going out of style, and Netflix has been doing a great job putting a twist on this popular genre in recent years. Live-action anime and manga adaptations are taking this streaming service by storm, and here are three that got everyone talking.

One Piece

The adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga series One Piece was one of the most popular new shows to premiere on Netflix last year and it was promptly renewed for Season 2. It centers on the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates, as they explore the high seas searching for a fabled treasure.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar: The Last Airbender has proven to be quite difficult to adapt, but that didn’t stop Netflix from trying. The live-action adaptation of the beloved anime is coming to Netflix this February, and it will see the young airbender Aang trying to fulfill his destiny and become the ruler of all four elements, known as the Avatar.

Alice in Borderland

Before adapting beloved franchises One Piece and Avatar, Netflix tested the waters with Alice in Borderland. Based on the manga by Haro Aso, this series centers on two friends trapped in an abandoned version of Tokyo, who are forced to compete in dangerous games in order to survive.

Tom Wilkinson, the Emmy-winning British acting legend, passed away at the age of 75. Most people remember Wilkinson as an acclaimed stage and film actor, but he also gave us several magnificent television performances, starting with these three.

John Adams

HBO’s mini-series John Adams was a tour de force for every actor involved, and Wilkinson was no exception. The role of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most prominent Founding Fathers, fit him like a glove, and it wasn’t a shocker to see him walk away with a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy Award for his amazing portrayal.

The Kennedys

Wilkinson shone the brightest when he was tasked with bringing important political figures to life, and his portrayal of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was a case in point. He scored another Emmy nod for his role in the historical mini-series The Kennedys and later reprised it in The Kennedys: After Camelot.

The Full Monty

One of Wilkinson’s final roles was a true blast from the past. He returned as Gerald Arthur Cooper in the TV sequel of The Full Monty—the ’90s British comedy that helped him become a household name and won him a BAFTA Award for the best actor in a supporting role.

My Life with Walter the Boys created quite a splash after premiering on Netflix last month, and it already received a Season 2 renewal. If you quickly binged through all ten episodes and are craving some more teen drama, here are three similar shows you should watch ASAP.

The Summer I Turned Pretty

The Summer I Turned Pretty is the closest thing you’ll find to Walter Boys, and their loglines sound pretty much the same. Based on Jenny Han’s hit book trilogy, this Amazon Prime Video drama centers on a teenage girl Belly, who experiences her first heartbreak after finding herself stuck in a love triangle with two brothers she grew up with.

XO, Kitty

This Netflix series is the spin-off of the streamer’s hit teen franchise To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, based on another beloved Jenny Han book. It centers on Lara Jean’s younger sister Kitty, as she embarks on a journey to find true love while attending the same boarding school as her late mom.

Never Have I Ever

If you’re a sucker for a good love triangle but crave a show with a more comedic tone, Never Have I Ever will be your cup of tea. This Netflix teen comedy centers on Indian-American high schooler Devi Vishwakumar, as she deals with the ups and downs of teenage life in the wake of her father’s sudden death.

Anime are never going out of style, and Netflix has been doing a great job putting a twist on this popular genre in recent years. Live-action anime and manga adaptations are taking this streaming service by storm, and here are three that got everyone talking.

One Piece

The adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s manga series One Piece was one of the most popular new shows to premiere on Netflix last year and it was promptly renewed for Season 2. It centers on the adventures of the Straw Hat Pirates, as they explore the high seas searching for a fabled treasure.

Avatar: The Last Airbender

Avatar: The Last Airbender has proven to be quite difficult to adapt, but that didn’t stop Netflix from trying. The live-action adaptation of the beloved anime is coming to Netflix this February, and it will see the young airbender Aang trying to fulfill his destiny and become the ruler of all four elements, known as the Avatar.

Alice in Borderland

Before adapting beloved franchises One Piece and Avatar, Netflix tested the waters with Alice in Borderland. Based on the manga by Haro Aso, this series centers on two friends trapped in an abandoned version of Tokyo, who are forced to compete in dangerous games in order to survive.

Tom Wilkinson, the Emmy-winning British acting legend, passed away at the age of 75. Most people remember Wilkinson as an acclaimed stage and film actor, but he also gave us several magnificent television performances, starting with these three.

John Adams

HBO’s mini-series John Adams was a tour de force for every actor involved, and Wilkinson was no exception. The role of Benjamin Franklin, one of the most prominent Founding Fathers, fit him like a glove, and it wasn’t a shocker to see him walk away with a Golden Globe and a Primetime Emmy Award for his amazing portrayal.

The Kennedys

Wilkinson shone the brightest when he was tasked with bringing important political figures to life, and his portrayal of Joseph P. Kennedy Sr. was a case in point. He scored another Emmy nod for his role in the historical mini-series The Kennedys and later reprised it in The Kennedys: After Camelot.

The Full Monty

One of Wilkinson’s final roles was a true blast from the past. He returned as Gerald Arthur Cooper in the TV sequel of The Full Monty—the ’90s British comedy that helped him become a household name and won him a BAFTA Award for the best actor in a supporting role.
