Christopher Nolan. What if awards season was British? That’s the question posed each year by the British Academy Film Awards, a.k.a. the BAFTAs, which were held in London on Sunday, February 18. The awards show was helmed this year by host David Tenant at the Royal Festival Hall. Tenant opened the show with a sketch re-enacting his show Staged with Michael Sheen, who requested he watch his dog “Bark Ruffalo” on the night of the awards.

What is an actor without his words? An improv performer, ie: the lowest of the low. The Writers Guild of America held simultaneous bicoastal shows to celebrate the best in scripted content. Hosted by Janelle James (in LA) and Michelle Buteau (in NY), the Writers Guild celebrated film, television, radio and audio, as well as promotional writing. Sarah Polley was the first big winner, nabbing Best Adapted Screenplay for Women Talking.

This earworm-y party song was penned by none other than Mr. 305 and Ne-Yo, and comes from tonight’s (semi-confusing) episode of Empire. The video, which also premiered tonight, is the wild work of Gil Green. Two quick takeaways: 1) Fittingly, this is what The Great Gatsby might look like if it were set somewhere in present-day Florida; 2) Pitbull might be trying to bring back the text-message signature.

In the opening scene of The Maze Runner, our uniquely special protagonist Thomas wakes up on a zooming elevator with his mind wiped clean of memories. Understandably, he’s pretty freaked out, and every time he asks one of the other boys what’s going on, they just reply, “I don’t know.” The disorientation isn’t necessarily bad, though: Our critic Bilge Ebiri wrote, “Not knowing anything about The Maze Runner… isn’t a bad way to seeThe Maze Runner.

Coffee queen Chelsea Peretti. No one likes coffee more than Chelsea Peretti. David Lynch comes close, but only Peretti could have written the ridiculous banger “Coffee Crankin’ Thru My Sys” from her podcast, Call Chelsea Peretti. Eight years after that musical debut, and one year after leaving Brooklyn Nine-Nine where she played Gina Linetti, Peretti has matured as a musical artist, although her muse has remained the same: java, baby.

A bad shawl cardigan. When you happen upon a mystery that you have never really thought about before, the fact that you had never thought about it before becomes an especially gripping part of the mystery. You wonder what you were doing with your life before it came to your attention, and even go so far as to think about the possibility that it was actively concealed from you in a well-intentioned but ultimately misguided effort to preserve your peace of mind, because it’s everywhere you look now, constantly issuing blaring reminders that it exists, whereas before there was just humming, droning silence.

Beyond changing late night, David Letterman shifted what America found funny. With him saying good-bye tonight, Vulture asked Scott Aukerman, host of the Comedy Bang! Bang! TV show and podcast, to say a few words about his comedy idol. Dan Reilly spoke with Aukerman for this as-told-to piece.
I remember when David Letterman first had an impact on me. It was 1984. He had already been doing the show for a couple years, and I was in high school, trying to figure out my own personality and where I fit in.

Sarah Gadon as Grace. Spoilers ahead for the book and the series.
Netflix’s new Margaret Atwood adaptation Alias Grace is remarkably faithful to Atwood’s original novel. It’s not just a representation of the novel’s plot and characters, although it certainly does that. More impressive, as a TV series Alias Grace hews closely to the structure and tone of the book, which is no simple feat for a book as knotty and intricate as this one.

The Nostalgia Fact-Check is a recurring Vulture feature in which we revisit a seminal movie, TV show, or album that reflexively evinces an “Oh my God, that was the best ever!” response by a certain demographic, owing to it having been imprinted on them early. Now, years later, we’ll take a look at these classics in a more objective, unforgiving adult light: Are they really the best ever? How do they hold up now?
