Another year, another round of Golden Globes nominations that incite praise, love and, of course, uproar due to snubs. Just take a look at Twitter and you’ll find a combination of celebration and ritual draggings (some of it from yours truly) of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and its questionable choices for nominees in a year that has seen a global pandemic, a Black Lives Matter movement and a reckoning for all industries — especially Hollywood — when it comes to representation and equality for those in the margins.

Limp Bizkit guitarist Wes Borland, who was part of Marilyn Manson's band between August 2008 and May 2009, has spoken about the allegations of abuse directed at the singer. Earlier this week, actress Evan Rachel Wood publicly accused Manson of abusing her during their relationship in the late 2000s, alleging that the singer “groomed” her as a teenager before he “horrifically abused’ and “brainwashed” her.

In the weeks leading up to the Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl LV Halftime Show this Sunday, many people have commented on the full-face bandages he’s worn in recent photos and during his performance on the American Music Awards. Variety caught up with the Weeknd this week during a break from Super Bowl rehearsals and asked a few questions about them (his answers appear below), but first, a little backstory: Back in November of 2020, the Weeknd launched his “After Hours” album cycle with a pair of songs — the smash singles and videos “Blinding Lights” (which was Variety‘s Hitmakers Record of the Year) and “Heartless” — that began the red-jacketed, busted-nose character and his bad-night-in-Las-Vegas storyline that has continued through many of his videos, TV and awards show appeara...
