Delroy Lindo Speaks Out on BAFTA Tourette’s Incident at NAACP Image Awards: “Something Negative Becoming Positive

At the end of the week when the 2026 BAFTA Awards became controversial because guest John Davidson, who has Tourette Syndrome, used the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting an award, the 2026 NAACP Image Awards gave many people affected by the incident a chance to show their support for Jordan and Lindo.

Delroy Lindo shared his first public comments about the event.

 He stepped onto the stage with his Sinners writer-director Ryan Coogler a little over an hour into the ceremony, and the audience gave him loud applause.

He said, "I'd like to officially say that we really appreciate all the support and love we've received since what happened last weekend.

 It means a lot to us." 

He also called the moment a "classic case of something that could be very negative becoming very positive.

" He also talked about the "honor" of being at the NAACP Image Awards.

BAFTA has since apologized for the incident, which became more widely known because it was shown during the BBC broadcast of the awards.

 They also promised to carry out a "comprehensive review" of the ceremony.

Earlier during the Saturday NAACP Image Awards, which was live on CBS and BET, host Deon Cole jokingly offered a prayer for anyone in the audience with Tourette's to "read the room."

Later, when presenting the first award of the evening to Sinners' Miles Caton, Regina Hall took a moment to praise Jordan and Lindo for their "class," which led to a standing ovation.

Abbott Elementary star and creator Quinta Brunson, who won the second award of the night for best actress in a comedy series, also took a moment to thank the cast and crew of Sinners.

She said, "We see you.

 We're behind you... love you."

Sinners was nominated for 18 awards this year and had already won nine by the time Coogler and Lindo took the stage.

 After that, the film won two more awards, including best actor (Michael B. Jordan) and best motion picture, bringing its total to 11.

Where to Watch the 2026 NAACP Image Awards

The NAACP Image Awards are back this weekend to honor and celebrate Black artists and their achievements in movies, TV shows, books, and other areas.

This year's 57th Image Awards have two new categories.

 One is Outstanding Editing in a Motion Picture, Television Series, Movie, or Special, with nominees like Michael P. Shawver for "Sinners" and Shaheed Qaasim for "Poker Face." The other is Outstanding Literary Work — Journalism, which recognizes excellent journalism that shares important stories, supports the Black community, and looks at issues affecting the U.S. through the lens of race, justice, and community impact.

New ‘Mummy’ Sequel Stays True to the Original and ‘Takes Some Real Chances,’ Directors Tease

 After many years of waiting, fans of *The Mummy* are finally getting a new movie in the series with both Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz. The directors of this new film, Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett from Radio Silence, said the new movie will have the same energy as the first one but will also take some real risks.

The duo are directing the fourth *Mummy* movie, and they just finished working on *Ready or Not 2: Here I Come*, which is coming out in March.

 When they talked to TheWrap about the new *Mummy* film, they didn't reveal much about the story or how scary it might be, since they're known for making horror movies. However, Tyler Gillett mentioned they had some great conversations with Fraser and Weisz, who both love the franchise a lot.

He said, "They've been really happy with the script and the way we're handling their characters and their relationship.

 And I think, as fans, reading this script, it feels a lot like the first movie." 

He added, "It's romantic, it's scary, and it takes some real chances.

 There's a lot of risk, but it's also big and adventurous. It has all those things. And from our talks with both Brendan and Rachel, I think it really hits that same feeling for them. They feel strongly that it's a return to form in many ways."

The directors are excited to make something that's important to the fans.

 Matt Bettinelli-Olpin also mentioned they'll approach the movie similarly to how they made *Scream*.

He said, "The main thing for us is that this is our chance and the chance for fans of the originals to see Rick and Evie again and to have Brendan and Rachel back in the saddle.

 It's a big, fun adventure. And it's not unlike how we approached *Scream*—how do we take something we love as fans and not just make it about nostalgia, but actually create something new for today?"

He continued, "And I think everyone involved is on board for that.

 We're just thrilled to make a big, sweeping adventure movie with some incredible actors."

The next *Mummy* movie is set for a wide release on May 19, 2028.

Netflix Says Paramount Has Paid $2.8 Billion Breakup Fee for Warner Bros. Discovery Deal

 Netflix has become a bit more wealthy after allowing Warner Bros. Discovery to move on.

On Friday, Netflix confirmed that Paramount Skydance has given them the $2.8 billion fee they were promised, following Paramount's win in their competition for Warner Bros.

 Discovery. This is pending an official vote and regulatory approval.

According to a filing with the SEC, Warner Bros.

 Discovery informed Netflix that they had ended the merger agreement as per the terms, to join with Paramount Skydance for a better deal.

Once the agreement ended, Paramount Skydance paid the $2.8 billion fee that Netflix was due under the original merger agreement.

On Thursday afternoon, Netflix officially said they would not raise their $83 billion offer to buy Warner Bros. and HBO Max from Discovery.

 This came after Warner Bros. Discovery's board said Paramount Skydance's new offer of $111 billion for the whole company, including its linear channels, was a better deal than the one they had with Netflix.

The original deal, which would have included buying Warner Bros. and HBO Max, was worth nearly $83 billion.

 Paramount's latest offer, made on February 24, was about $111 billion for the whole of Warner Bros. Discovery, including its traditional TV channels.

Netflix's quick decision surprised Hollywood because they had only four business days, until Wednesday, March 4 at 11:59 p.m. ET, to come up with a new offer to keep the deal.

In a joint statement released Thursday, less than two hours after Warner Bros.

 Discovery announced the board's decision, Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters said, "The transaction we negotiated would have created shareholder value with a clear path to regulatory approval. However, we've always been disciplined, and at the price required to match Paramount Skydance's latest offer, the deal is no longer financially attractive, so we are declining to match the Paramount Skydance bid."

They also added, "This transaction was always a 'nice to have' at the right price, not a 'must have' at any price.
