Sundance may be the center of the film universe for the next few days, but Las Vegas isn’t exactly having a shabby week when it comes to movie news.

From stars to snowdrifts, there’s nothing quite like the annual moviegoing extravaganza in Park City, Utah. This list offers a taste of the festival.
“Black Panther” is returning to Las Vegas movie theaters for a week — with two free screenings each day.
“Black Panther” took the top award at Sunday’s 25th Screen Actors Guild Awards, giving Ryan Coogler’s superhero sensation its most significant awards-season honor yet and potentially setting up Wakanda for a major role at next month’s Academy Awards.
Matthew McConaughey notched one of the worst debuts of his career, Oscar nominees saw only modestbumps and M. Night Shyamalan’s “Glass” easily remained No. 1 on a quiet weekend in movie theaters.
Frank Sinatra’s 1954 Oscar, one of the Rat Pack ringleader’s most cherished possessions, has gone home.
The son of James Gandolfini has been cast as the young Tony Soprano in the planned “Sopranos” prequel, “The Many Saints of Newark.”
LOS ANGELES — The roller coaster of the 2019 awards season continued Tuesday with a batch of Oscar nominations that few could have predicted. Sure, there were some shoo-ins that made it, like “Black Panther” breaking the superhero best picture barrier, and “A Star Is Born,” ”The Favourite” and “Roma” being among the leading nominees. And yet, there were more than a handful of downright stupefying exclusions, including Bradley Cooper and Ryan Coogler for director (or any woman, for that matter), Emily Blunt for actress, “Eighth Grade” and the Fred Rogers documentary “Won’t You Be My Neighbor?”
With “Roma,” Netflix has scored its first best picture nomination, something the streaming giant has dearly sought.
If Lady Gaga were to take home an Oscar — or two, she’s also nominated for best original song for “Shallow” — she would join some rarefied air among Las Vegas performers.
John Travolta’s John Gotti biopic “Gotti” has topped the 39th annual Razzie Awards with a co-leading six nominations, while President Donald Trump also earned a nod for worst actor.
A former CIA technical operations officer who helped rescue six U.S. diplomats from Iran in 1980 and was portrayed by Ben Affleck in the film “Argo,” has died. He was 78.
M. Night Shyamalan scored his fifth No. 1 movie as the director’s “Glass.”
The actress, and mom to a 2-year-old son, steps into thriller territory with her latest movie, “Serenity.”
Netflix’s post-apocalyptic survival film “Bird Box” is drawing criticism for using footage of a real fiery train disaster but the streaming giant has no plans to remove it.
