Alfonso Cuarón’s black-and-white family drama Roma was named Best Picture, while Christian Bale picked up two acting honors for his portrayal of former Vice President Dick Cheney in Vice (he won both Best Actor and Best Actor in a Comedy), and a tie meant both Glenn Close and Lady Gaga went home with Best Actress honors.

That wasn’t the night’s only tie — in an earlier moment, Amy Adams and Patricia Arquette embraced one another as they both won Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie Made For Television for their respective roles in Sharp Objects and Escape at Dannemora. 

Supporting actor and actress accolades went to Mahershala Ali for Green Book and Regina King for If Beale Street Could Talk. On the television side, The Americans was crowned Best Drama Series, while The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel won the comedy category.

In recent years, the Critics’ Choice Awards have been a somewhat accurate — but not infallible — predictor of Oscar success. Since 2008, the CCAs have correctly predicted the eventual Oscars winner for Best Picture seven times, Best Actor eight times, and Best Actress six times.

Taye Diggs hosted this year’s ceremony, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, Calif. See the full list of winners below.

Having made the winning bid on the house in August (beating out former NSYNC member Lance Bass, who preemptively announced his offer on the house had been accepted), HGTV plans to embark on a “full-scale overhaul” of the single-family home. As the network explained in a press release:

Exterior shots of the real house were often used to establish a sense of time and place for the Brady family. In the coming months, HGTV will execute a show-stopping transformation by adding 2,000 square feet to its original footprint — all without compromising its instantly recognizable street view. HGTV home renovation stars also will reimagine the popular show’s interior set design, working to ensure that the final renovation results stay true to the spirit of the Brady Bunch family home that everyone loves and remembers. From the unforgettable signature wood-paneled living room with floating staircase to the orange and green kitchen and the kids’ Jack-and-Jill bathroom, The Brady Bunch house will forever hold a special place in television history and American pop culture.

Joining the Brady kids at the walk-through were HGTV personalities Jonathan and Drew Scott (Property Brothers), Mina Starsiak and Karen E Laine (Good Bones), Leanne and Steve Ford (Restored by the Fords), Jasmine Roth (Hidden Potential), and Lara Spencer (Flea Market Flip). The network says A Very Brady Renovation, which is set to premiere in September 2019, will feature “additional surprise celebrity guests.”

Whoever they are, let’s hope they remember the all-important rule: Don’t play ball in the house.

In preaching love, Rogers wasn’t just attending to the moral character of his youthful audience. He believed that he was also promoting their health. As he said in 1979, “My whole approach in broadcasting has always been, ‘You are an important person just the way you are. You can make healthy decisions.’ Maybe I’m going on too long, but I just feel that anything that allows a person to be more active in the control of his or her life, in a healthy way, is important.”

Since Rogers’ death, evidence has mounted that he was on to something – namely, that love and kindness truly are healthful, and that people who express them regularly really do lead healthier lives. Simply put, people who are generous and volunteer their time for the benefit of others seem to be happier than those who don’t, and happy people tend to have fewer health complaints and live longer than those who are unhappy.

Love gave rise to a calling

Born in Pennsylvania in 1928, as a young minister Rogers regretted the messages television was conveying to children in the 1960s. He said, “I went into television because I hated it so, and I thought there’s some way of using this fabulous instrument to nurture those who would watch and listen.” “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood” debuted nationally in 1968 and won its creator and host many accolades, including a Presidential Medal of Freedom, two Peabody Awards, and over 40 honorary degrees.

Rogers believed that the need to love and be loved was universal, and he sought to cultivate these capacities through every program, saying in a 2004 documentary hosted by actor Michael Keaton, one of his former stagehands, “You know, I think everybody longs to be loved, and longs to know that he or she is lovable. And consequently, the greatest thing we can do is to help somebody know they’re loved and capable of loving.”

Love and health

As it turns out, there are many ways in which love and kindness are good for health. For one thing, they tend to reduce factors that undermine it. Doing something nice for someone causes the release of endorphins, which help to relieve pain. People who make kindness a habit have lower levels of stress hormones such as cortisol. Intentionally helping others can even lower levels of anxiety in individuals who normally avoid social situations.

Carrying out acts of kindness, or even merely witnessing them, also increases levels of oxytocin, a hormone with health benefits as diverse as lowering blood pressure, promoting good sleep and reducing cravings for drugs such as cocaine and alcohol. That oxytocin should have so many health benefits is not so surprising when we recall its central role in stimulating uterine contractions during birth, the letdown of milk during lactation, the pleasure associated with orgasm and pair bonding.

Acts of generosity and compassion also appear to be good for mood. A 2010 study showed that while people with money tend to be somewhat happier than those without it, people who spend money on others report even greater levels of happiness, an effect that can be detected even in toddlers. When people give money to others, areas of the brain associated with pleasure are activated, and this response is greater when the transfer is voluntary rather than mandatory.

Such happiness can have big benefits in longevity. For example, a reviewof 160 published studies concluded that there is compelling evidence that life satisfaction and optimism are associated with better health and enhanced longevity. Another study of older people showed that, even after correcting for other factors such as age, disease and health habits, those who rated their happiness highest were 35 percent less likely to die in five years than those who were least content.

What would Mister Rogers say?

Of course, Rogers would remind us that there are reasons to be committed to love and kindness that extend far beyond their health benefits. Rogers was, after all, not a physician but a minister, and ultimately he was ministering to an aspect of human wholeness that cannot be analyzed by blood tests or visualized with CT scans. In a commencement addressat Dartmouth College in 2002, he focused less on the body than what he might have called the spirit:

“When I say it’s you I like, I’m talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”

When Rogers encouraged children to be kinder and more loving, he believed that he was not only promoting public health but also nurturing the most important part of a human being – the part that exhibits a divine spark. As Rogers indicated in another commencement speechthe year before at Middlebury College, “I believe that appreciation is a holy thing, that when we look for what’s best in the person we happen to be with at the moment, we’re doing what God does; so in appreciating our neighbor, we’re participating in something truly sacred.”

In expressing such deeply religious sentiments, Rogers was not trying to undermine a concern with bodily health. In fact, he regularly encouraged his viewers to adopt healthy life habits, and Rogers himself was a committed vegetarian and lifelong swimmer who maintained a low body weight his entire life. Yet he also believed that health alone does not a full life make, and he regarded the soundness of the body as but part of the wellness of whole persons and communities, which may explain why he was able to face his own mortality with such equanimity.

Just a few months before he died, Rogers recorded a message for the many adult fans who had grown up watching “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood.” In it, he practiced what he preached, saying:

“I would like to tell you what I often told you when you were much younger. I like you just the way you are. And what’s more, I’m so grateful to you for helping the children in your life to know that you’ll do everything you can to keep them safe. And to help them express their feelings in ways that will bring healing in many different neighborhoods. It’s such a good feeling to know that we’re lifelong friends.”

In one of the marquee specials of Shark Week 2018, Mark Cuban, Kevin “Mr. Wonderful” O’Leary, Barbara Corcoran, and Daymond John will have more literal skin in the game than they ever have when they move from the tank to the water to learn all about actual sharks, EW has learned exclusively. Shark Tank Meets Shark Week features the stars of the ABC reality competition each pairing up with an oceanic organization to receive an education in the issues facing those misunderstood predators of the sea, ranging from habitat destruction, overfishing, and bycatch. The Sharks (minus Lori Greiner) will then return to the Shark Tank set, where they will reunite with fellow Shark, Robert Herjavec, and pitch each other as to why their organization deserves a $50,000 donation. Each Shark will then cast a vote for the organization that is most deserving of the money. Sorry, Mr. Wonderful, you can’t vote for yourself in this contest.

This is the 30th installment of Shark Week, Discovery’s popular summer franchise. The festivities kick off Sunday, July 22 and last for eight days.

Chip and Joanna Gaines’ go-to carpenter, who made regular appearances on the couple’s show Fixer Upper, was on the brink of financial ruin before he met the HGTV stars. And Harp, who’s own show Wood Work premieres May 9 on DIY Network, is opening up about his fateful run-in with the famous contractor in his new book, Handcrafted: A Woodworker’s Story.

In the memoir, Harp chronicles how he worked a sales job for years in order to provide for his wife, Kelly, and their three kids. But after leaving the comfortable paycheck behind in order to pursue his dream of designing and building furniture, the Harps soon found themselves in a tough situation when it came to their income, as he had no formal training, financing, a workspace or customers.

As luck would have it, Harp met Chip at a gas station one day. The pair decided to work together, catapulting his passion project into a longstanding career crafting custom pieces alongside Joanna — as well as a scoring a coveted Gaines-renovated home for his own family.

Now Harp has both a faithful fan base, and lifelong friends (he even recently served as team leader for the Gaineses’ Silo District Half Marathon), and is using his newfound fame to inspire others to reconsider their day jobs in pursuit of their side hustles.

Handcrafted will not only describe Harp’s journey from learning carpentry alongside his grandfather to his thriving current business, but will also include ideas for how to follow in his footsteps.

“I’ve wanted to write a book since high school, and that dream is now a reality!” he wrote on Instagram announcing his latest project. “It’s been a work in progress for almost two years now and I’m so excited.”

Handcrafted: A Woodworker’s Story will be available September 25.

Notable Excerpt: “The idea and the big lesson that came from working with so many of those people [on Dirty Jobs] for so long was that by and large – as a group – they were happier than most of my friends; they were better balanced than most of my friends; and they had just the kind of peace that I think comes from knowing what I call the ‘It’s a Wonderful Life’ test … where if you are somehow magically pulled out of existence, like right now, what happens to the world? What happens to the world of ‘poof, I’m gone’ and ‘Dirty Jobs’ never happened? Is the world gonna spin of its axis? No … [I tend to try and fundamentally measure the concept of] ‘what I can do that will ever change a thing?’ Dirty jobbers can. If all the plumbers call in sick for a week, the party’s over. All the electricians call out for two days? Riot. So you know, it’s odd that the jobs that we all depend on the most are the most under-appreciated in our society. So the people who do those jobs know this … and that makes them very fun to be around.”

The Guest: Mike Rowe is most well-known as the host of the Discovery Channel show “Dirty Jobs”: a series dedicated to exploring the grimiest and toughest jobs of blue-collar America. In addition to getting his hands dirty, Rowe is an author, philanthropist, and Renaissance man who is keen on educating the average joe on how to find happiness and fulfillment – no matter what job or lifestyle they may have.

The Host: After spending years of his young life and athletic career struggling with his own emotional wellbeing, a crippling injury left Lewis Howes without an identity and without any work. Instead of wallowing in self-pity, however, Howes recreated himself as a multi-million dollar media producer, motivational speaker, bestselling author, and podcast host. The ex-football player now spends his days chatting with the most inspirational icons of this generation on his School of Greatness podcast.

Podcast: The School of Greatness podcast is available for download on Soundcloud and iTunes. You can also watch footage of the interviews on Howes’s YouTube channel.

Books: Howes is the author of the New York Times bestselling book “The School of Greatness”: an in-depth collection of lessons and wisdom that he has gathered from interviewing hundreds of the world’s greatest role models and thinkers. Howes’s latest book, “The Mask of Masculinity”, is based on his experience with the dangerous stereotypes and expectations that are placed on men in modern society.

The 12-year-old’s party, which was themed around the hit Netflix sci-fi series “Stranger Things”, had everything from Demogorgon-flavored juice to Christmas lights and a decorated cake.

Unfortunately, the cool decorations failed to lure out the eight classmates who he had invited to the party.

Aaron’s faithful older sister Ayen took photos of the stellar party and posted them to Twitter with a call-out caption aimed at her brother’s mouth-breather classmates.

“My brother invited 8 of his classmates for his Stranger Things themed bday party & none of their punk selves showed up,” wrote Ayen.

While the party theme may not have been enough to impress Aaron’s peers, it certainly caught the eye of social media users. Ayen’s pictures of the party were shared thousands of times until the finally caught the eye of Millie Bobby Brown, the young actress who plays Eleven on the show.

The child star wished Aaron a happy birthday and asked for an invitation to next year’s birthday party.

What!!!! Oh Well You can let them all know that everyone on behalf on Stranger things would’ve come! I think your awesome and next year I would like an invite… Please? https://t.co/gNir0sMpsm

Not only that, but she was joined by Gaten Matarazzo, the actor who plays Dustin Henderson.

“Count me in too!” said Matarazzo. “I’ll bring the chocolate pudding.”

While Aaron reassured social media by saying that he was planning on avoiding his classmates’ future birthday parties as payback, he can certainly be sure that his own birthday will have a much more fantastic guest list next year.
