This decision has sparked criticism from Germany's journalists' union, which calls for stronger support of press freedom. Hollywood has rallied behind Kimmel, criticizing the move as an attack on free speech.
The entertainment world mourns the loss of Robert Redford, the celebrated actor, director, and independent film advocate, who passed away at 89. Redford's legacy spans decades, with his influence on independent cinema being particularly notable through his Sundance Institute.
