if you looked at the nominations for the m.t.v. v.m. a's this year the men didn't get much of a look at is what the music industry is all about at the moment with taylor swift and ariana grande dominating the awards with 10 nominations each also the video vying god award went to rapper missy elliott so let's have a look at who took away the big prizes this year. taylor swift won the m.t.v. video of the year award for you need to calm down the artist called out the trump administration for not responding to the equality act petition for l.g.b. t.q. rights promoted in the video. rock icon missy elliott received a lifetime achievement award the elliott is being honored tonight she's one of my favorite entertainers all time and i think that this honors overdue i love her as a person she has an amazing heart but as an entertainer she's the game changer so

i'm so excited to be a building. and as is tradition and t.v. there were plenty of extravagant fashion statements. and a host of stuff as i. moved but the big story of the evening was the triumphant return of taylor swift who also took home the video for good award and performed love from her new album. the venice film festival kicks off this week and that means locker room dollar cram of the film world a heading to italy to watch the biggest film premieres with the biggest stars and we're about to take a peek at some of the movies. they'll be looking at the festival is also considered

a barometer of the academy awards next february and to tell us all this means and to garrido's through this year is movies. it's now the oscars a still half a year away david so what is all the fuss about the other half a year away but they're also half a year away robin but i mean for it it's time for the studios to really go into overdrive crank it up and show the academy and all the other awards what they've got and that's what they're doing this is the kickoff to oscar season so i was a big movies primary festival that we should look out for what in terms of hollywood movies and big production values the number one movie i would say is add astro this is a deep space if i draw my story brad pitt as an astronaut who goes to the edges of our solar system in order to save our planet of course but also to find his father who's also an astronaut played by tommy lee jones who's gotten lost out there

somewhere and who may have turned to the dark side as it were turned to the dark ok let's have a quick look at that. this psychological evaluation. describe your current emotional. ready to do my job suggest my ability. 4 to control the internet or. change system. based on believes my father some sponsible. syria this thing seriously has oscar nomination written all over it great cast and

director james gray said that he wanted to depict space travel the most realistic that anyone had ever seen it in any film to date of course yu-g.i. is just getting better and better and better so it looks like it may deliver on that yeah it does look good while his hollywood summing up what another big premiere of venice this year is joker this is a new take on the d.c. comics villain that we all know and love or hate this time with 100 feet in the i think you'll need something i no longer want to. i'm not going to make sure that i think i'm going to return to see the joker with joaquin phoenix well i'll tell you a little bit about it so this version of joker really has a psychological take on the villain with joaquin phoenix playing him as a stand up comedian and there we go stand up comedian who is exposed to the hard knocks of life and his psyche just sort of cracks and then he turns to chaos and the dark side as well now this is a role that's been played in recent years by

a lot of big actors including jared leto heath ledger won an oscar for his portrayal of joker so it's going to be exciting to see what joaquin phoenix. also a great actor brings to this chaos he's a great actor too but it's not all about hollywood walk should we look at the festival now one movie i am excited to see that we actually just got a little look at there is called the truth this is by japanese director. but it takes place in france and he does something that no french director has managed to do he's brought together 2 of the big icons of french cinema catskin the nov and juliette binoche for the very 1st time in a film can you believe it took a japanese director to do that and a little bit about the movie. plays a big actress must come easy to her and she's just written her memoirs and you know for sure place her daughter is not happy with what's in them let's have a quick look at that we sort of tag about. you know that you don't need to be as

something i no longer want to. and not want to know says you need anybody. because you've got that weak. russia. and the people. who could lead. to what you were got an exam an exam. you know and the need that you might need it for people. like you don't think you can do. so this is a coded as 1st movie outside japan now international audiences know him best for shoplifters the movie that won him the top prize at cannes and they're talking of can this is the 2nd year the french festival refused to show netflix films and of course venice is benefits it's right there are going to venice last year the big the big talking point was of course that the film roma couldn't be played at cannes because it was a netflix movie that came to venice and it got 10 oscar nominations this year it

could be the same thing some very strong movies from netflix have gone out to cannes but again so. venice and one of them is the movie laundromat starring meryl streep i think we've got some pics of that now that flicks hasn't released any trailers of this it's still under wraps here we go so this is all we've got this is directed by steven soderbergh about the panama papers scandal this is actually opening the festival another movie from the marriage story which is a comedy drama about marital issues and stars scarlett johansson and adam driver by the wonderful director noah baumbach this promises to be another corky family portrait which is what he does best venice once again clearly benefiting from cannes no netflix policy yeah ok now the good news is also. venice has doubled the number of female driver. to this year as opposed to one last year yeah they came

under huge fire for this last year and the director of the festival said well there's not going to be a woman quota if they did and they get in this year to have gotten a lot of critics say the festival is biased ok david as always thank you for your insights we'll have of course more on the festival later in the week thank you. brad pitt is actually going to appear briefly in this next report because he's a fan of hats made by fiona bennett here in berlin bennett is one of the people featured in our alternative tori's guide planet len so what about entrepreneurs who come to this city from abroad and have thriving businesses here. you know you bet it never feels properly dressed without a hat she creates exquisite head again in her. steps but then is always on the go and that fascinates me. with. the
