The Dutton Ranch: Paramount+ Sets Premiere, Trailer The latest spinoff of the Yellowstone series, The Dutton Ranch, has announced its premiere date and released a trailer. The series, which follows Beth Dutton and her husband Rip, continues their story from the original show, now set in South Texas. In the trailer, Kelly Reilly’s Beth Dutton reflects on legacy, stating, “A legacy is a beautiful thing, but only if it survives.” The trailer highlights the couple’s ongoing struggles, including explosions, fires, and confrontations, this time against a backdrop of a beautiful Texas sunset rather than the Montana landscapes of the original series. The nine-part series will debut on Paramount+ on May 15 at 8 p.m., starting with two episodes. The plot centers on Beth and Rip as they attempt to build a new life together after a dramatic event in the final season of Yellowstone. In a spoiler-filled moment, Beth’s brother Jamie, portrayed by Wes Bentley, tries to kill her, but Rip intervenes, allowing her to stab Jamie to death. The couple then begins a new chapter on a ranch, where they take in Carter, played by Finn Little, a character they previously cared for in the original series. The cast includes Juan Pablo Raba, Jai Courtney, J.R. Villarreal, Marc Menchaca, and Natalie Alyn Lind, alongside returning actors like Finn Little. The series also features Ed Harris as Everett McKinney, a weathered veteran and veterinarian, and Annette Bening as Beulah Jackson, a powerful and cunning ranch owner in Texas. The show’s logline describes a brutal clash between Beth and Rip with a ruthless rival ranch, set in a region where blood runs deep, forgiveness is fleeting, and survival comes at a steep cost. The Dutton Ranch is one of two Yellowstone spinoffs launching this year.#paramount_plus #ed_harris #kelly_reilly #wes_bentley #finn_little
Amy Madigan Wins First Oscar at 75 for Role in 'Weapons' Actress Amy Madigan claimed her first Academy Award for best supporting actress on Sunday for her portrayal of Gladys in the supernatural horror film Weapons. The win marks her first Oscar after a 40-year wait since she was previously nominated for the same category for her role as Sunny Sobel in the 1986 drama Twice in a Lifetime. Madigan spoke with ABC News’ Lara Spencer backstage following the ceremony, reflecting on the significance of the moment. Madigan expressed surprise at the acclaim her performance received, calling it “totally surprising” and praising the audience’s reception of Gladys, the character she brought to life. “People really like my work, which is what you want,” she said. She also highlighted the uniqueness of the role, noting that it was a rare opportunity to play a character with such eccentricity. “You don’t get to play those kind of parts that often,” she remarked, adding that she often channels similar traits in her personal life, much to the dismay of her family and pets. The actress praised the Oscars host, Conan O’Brien, for opening the ceremony by playing Gladys, a role she described as “pretty good.” Madigan recounted meeting O’Brien backstage, where he joked, “Yeah, you did a lot better,” after she complimented his performance. She laughed off the quip, acknowledging his effort while emphasizing her own pride in the win. Madigan’s victory underscores her long career in acting, which she has pursued since age 19. At 75, she joked about the difference between her two Oscar experiences, saying, “What’s different is I’ve got this little gold guy!” She also took the opportunity to thank her daughter Lily Harris, her husband Ed Harris, and their dogs, calling her husband “the most important” person in her life.#weapons #conan_obrien #amy_madigan #ed_harris #lara_spencer
Amy Madigan Walks the Oscars Red Carpet With Husband Ed Harris—40 Years After Their First Attendance Amy Madigan made a striking entrance at the 98th Academy Awards, arriving in a bold Dior ensemble that included a blazer adorned with black-and-gold feather paillettes, paired with black slacks and pointy pumps. She also wore round glasses with bright-orange lenses, adding a fiery touch to her look. The actor, known for her role as Gladys in Weapons, received a nomination for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, marking a historic moment as she became the female actor with the largest gap between nominations. Her previous nod was in the same category in 1986 for her role as Sunny Mackenzie-Sobel in Twice in a Lifetime. Madigan reflected on the achievement in an interview with People, expressing surprise at the journey that led to this milestone. She credited the film Weapons and its reception by audiences, stating, “Nothing is a better feeling than that.” She also emphasized the importance of perseverance in the industry, noting that while dreams are often encouraged, the path to success is long and demanding. “When a good piece of material comes by, the actors want to grab it by the throat. It’s exciting. That’s why we do what we do.” The evening’s event was a full-circle moment for Madigan, as she walked the red carpet alongside her husband, Ed Harris, who had accompanied her to the 1986 Oscars when she first received her nomination. The couple, married for 42 years, shared the moment with their son, who was also present. Harris, known for his own acting career, has been a constant presence in Madigan’s life, both on and off the screen. Madigan’s return to the Oscars after four decades of absence highlighted her enduring presence in Hollywood.#weapons #academy_awards #amy_madigan #oscar_nomination #ed_harris
