(Photo: ABC) American Idol  has always been known for its wacky moments, from William Hung and Larry “Pants on the Ground” Platt’s viral auditions, to Kara DioGuardi’s finale-night bikini reveal, to any number of the always-extra Katy Perry’s focus-stealing, pants-splitting antics since she became a judge on the show’s ABC reboot five years ago. But at the heart of  Idol  — along with a nationwide search for undiscovered raw talent, of course — the show has always been about the more serious and vulnerable moments. Sunday’s episode had two ...

  The Emmys say The White Lotus can't compete as a limited series anymore The White Lotus Another year, another HBO series getting called out by the Television Academy for pushing past the limits of a so-called “limited” series:  Variety  reports  that Mike White’s  The White Lotus  will no longer be allowed to compete in the Emmys’ Outstanding Limited Or Anthology Series category, where it won last year. The series has instead been moved over into the Outstanding Drama Series category. As we’ve noted many time before, HBO in particular seems to love fudging the lines surrounding this particular category, presumably so that at least some of its shows don’t have to fight it out in the hyper-competitive Drama bracket; after all, “limited” really just means “We haven’t decided to renew it for a second season  yet .” (Looking at you,  Big Little Lies .) Admittedly,  The White Lotus  had at least a shot of sneaking by under the grounds that i...

However, that mission grows increasingly more challenging considering this week’s  Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania  marks the MCU’s 31st movie — and first of its new Phase 5 series. At first blush, there’s one very obvious difference between the third  Ant-Man  standalone adventure and its predecessors: The vast majority of the film’s action takes place in the quantum realm, as Scott Lang (Paul Rudd), Hope van Dyne (Evangeline Lilly), Hank Pym ( Michael Douglas ), Janet van Dyne (Michelle Pfeiffer) and Cassie Lang (Kathyrn Newton) are accidentally sucked ...
