Ethan Hawke

We take a look at some movies that show how the western is also a place for "queer" stories. "In no other western film have we seen two men making a bed," said Spanish filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar when talking about Strange Way of Life, his new short film and the first western in his filmography.

Congratulations to HFPA member Lena Base for her L. A.

Starring and executive produced by Ethan Hawke, The Good Lord Bird, tells the story of controversial abolitionist John Brown told through the eyes of Henry "Little Onion" Shackleford (played by Joshua Caleb Johnson) a newly freed teenager who joins him on a holy crusade to end slavery. The seven-episode series is based on the National Book Award-winning novel by James McBride.

A champion of independent cinema, Golden Globe nominee Ethan Hawke is a regular at Sundance, but this year was special for him. He was in Park City with Juliet, Naked, Jesse Peretz's romantic comedy about a woman (Rose Byrne) who breaks up her long relationship with an obsessed fan of retired rocker Tucker Crowe, only to start a romance with the idol himself (played by Hawke).
