Last month, Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro put out a call to the public, asking people to send ideas for music by Latin artists to submit to the Library of Congress’ National Recording Registry. It’s part of a years-long effort on Castro’s part to get more Latin art preserved within the Library of Congress and to increase Latino representation across media and pop culture.
The National Recording Registry is made up of works considered “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant” or that “inform or reflect life in the United States.

NHS workers are heroes who put up with a staggering amount of stress in their working lives, but has any medical professional been through more than Holby City Hospital’s Charlie Fairhead? As news arrives that actor Derek Thompson is finally hanging up his scrubs and leaving BBC medical drama Casualty this autumn after 37 years, the only question to ask is… what took him so long?
Most of us would leave a job after getting shot in the chest by a schizophrenic killer. Not Charlie. We’d probably bow out after our first heart attack instead of keeping going after the third. We’d likely retreat to a less public-facing role after dealing with a single crazed gunman in the workplace, not sail through multiple hostage situations while while also rescuing colleagues from a variety of life-threatening situations from tunnel collapses to freezing waters, watching two wives die, almost losing...

Belfast writer-director-producer Ken Branagh, actor Ciarán Hinds and sound supervisor Simon Chase – all Oscar nominated – spoke with us at Deadline’s Contenders Film: The Nominees event about the acclaimed film’s journey to screen.
Based on Branagh’s own experiences growing up in Northern Ireland, the Focus Features movie follows a young boy and his working-class family as they experience the tumultuous late 1960s.
“It’s not a story I had been planning for a long time, but it is one I had been feeling for a long time,” Branagh said. “The necessity to tell the story and understand about that time of change in Belfast was accelerated by the lockdown and the uncertainty it produced…What in times of turmoil can you understand.”
Music supervisor Simon Chase and Branagh discussed the film’s potent music (Van Morrison is a big part of the sound) and the scene-stealing moment Jamie Dornan...

Editors note: Deadline’s Read the Screenplay series debuts and celebrates the scripts of films that will be factors in this year’s movie awards race.
Kenneth Branagh has told the most epic stories of all between Shakespeare, Agatha Christie and Marvel. For his latest, Belfast, Branagh chose a more intimate and personal one.
Based on his own childhood growing up in Northern Ireland in the 1960s, Branagh wrote and directed Belfast. Nine-year-old Buddy (Jude Hill) overhears bits and pieces about The Troubles in Ireland. He witnesses some of the violence in the street, but he’s more concerned with playing with his friends, and why his father (Jamie Dornan) is gone so much of the time.
Buddy watches a lot of movies and television, the arts that would become Branagh’s forte. He sees his father as a big-screen hero and his mother (Caitriona Balfe) as his safe space.

As the once wide-open best picture race continues to narrow, Variety staffers take a look at some of the individual scenes that made us laugh, cry and think — sometimes at the same time.
“Being the Ricardos”
(Amazon)
Lucille Ball (Nicole Kidman) pulls Madeline (Alia Shawkat), the only female writer on Ball’s “I Love Lucy,” out of the writers room for a little one-on-one discussion about a scene that Lucy has been trying to make funnier — or at least make logical, and therefore funny. Like Madeline, Lucy is a smart, funny, strong women in the early 1950s — a unicorn in this man’s world in which they have mastered “work-arounds.” This scene from writer-director Aaron Sorkin is an honest yet sharp and somewhat frustrating talk about the TV character, the way the character is treated on the show and what type of comedy works. The scene is brave enough to...
