The Emmys, Grammys, Oscars, Tonys, and everything in between — here are the 55 best red carpet looks of the past year.
Darren Criss added a pop of fun to a traditional black suit by wearing a floral-printed jacket at the Golden Globes.
Criss, the first Filipino American to win a Golden Globe, consistently shows up peers who wear boring suits by adding his own flair to a classic tux. At the Golden Globes, he paired a floral jacket with his pants, both Dior.
Rami Malek played Freddie Mercury, Helen Mirren portrayed Queen Elizabeth, and Jamie Foxx brought Ray Charles to life on the big screen.
It's no secret that biopics are Oscars bait. It seems every award season has at least one biopic that chronicles the life of a famous figure, and the actors who portray these icons often earn Oscars, Golden Globes, and Emmys.
Sometimes actors play historical figures like Abraham Lincoln, King George VI, or Gandhi. Other times, actors adapt accents and take vocal lessons to portray famous musicians like Ray Charles, Johnny Cash, and Freddie Mercury.
Here are some of the best portrayals of icons that have garnered critical claim and awards.
In 2018, Darren Criss won an Emmy for his portrayal of Andrew Cunanan in the series "The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story."
In 1997, Andrew Cunanan became a serial killer when he murdered five people during a three-month spree. One of his victims was fashion designer Gianni Versace. In the second season of "American Crime Story," Criss took on the role of Cunanan.
"Mr. Criss is impressive and haunting as the mediocre con man and murderer, but 'Assassination' is never quite sure what to make of its central figure, his narcissism or, perhaps, his sociopathy," the New York Times wrote about the show.
The $42 million pilot will give $500 a month to 3,250 households in Cook County for two years with no strings attached.
"Applications have opened for a $42 million guaranteed-income pilot in Illinois, where 3,250 households will be given $500 per month for two years.
The project will provide the "no-strings-attached" payments to residents of Cook County, the US's second-largest county by population. The county, which includes much of Chicago, has more than 5 million residents.
Toni Preckwinkle, the president of the county's board of commissioners, said the program is the "largest publicly funded guaranteed-income pilot in American history." It aims to improve the health and financial well-being of the participants and will also be used to gather data on the impact of such projects.
A bellwether universal-basic-income program in Stockton, California, found that after a year of receiving $500 a month, full-time employment among participants had increased while depression and anxiety had decreased.
"We are confident that by directly investing in our residents — by giving poor folks what they need most, cash — we will have meaningful impact on our communities and create lasting change here in Cook County," Preckwinkle said on Twitter."
