Steven Spielberg He just confessed that he thought his latest film, The Fabelmans, it would indeed be the last he would direct. When the Covid-19 pandemic began, he believed it would be a mass extinction event. Fortunately, his apocalyptic vision did not come true.

With much anticipation, awards season kicked off last week, which will conclude with the Oscars in March, with Covid-19 making its way onto the red carpet of the golden globe. At least 5 participants in that ceremony were infected and were unable to attend the delivery of the Critics Awards, just five days later.

The most epic photo to illustrate the not-so-invisible presence of the virus was the kiss on the mouth between actors Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson, co-stars of the spirits of the island (The Banshees of Inisherin), after Farrell won the Golden Globe for Lead Actor and the film won the grand prize.
