Hollywood news banter

Fall film festival season begins next week in Venice, and with it, Netflix will try to position itself as an awards-contender for movies.

The final season of ‘The Big Bang Theory’ is not just the end of a show, but the end of an era in broadcast sitcoms.

Also premiering at this year’s fall film festivals? Television. Amazon’s drama ‘Homecoming,’ starring Julia Roberts, will debut at Toronto.
