WHEN “Titanic” hit the screen in 1997, Leonardo DiCaprio became the hottest young actor around, carrying the $250 million production — the most expensive ever made until that point — on his slim shoulders. He was only 22-years-old, a star of edgy art films like The Basketball Diaries and Total Eclipse.

THE story of how Edward VIII (James D’Arcy) abdicated the English throne for the love of the American divorcee Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) in 1936 might be a familiar one, but W.E.

Irish actors Brendan Gleeson and Michael Fassbender have both received nominations for the 69th annual Golden Globe awards.
