  + stars: | 2023-02-11 | by ( Aaron Mcdade | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Fox Business that Jeff Bezos would be a "great owner." Bezos repeatedly has been mentioned as a possible buyer of the Washington Commanders. However, Commanders owner Dan Snyder reportedly is waiting for bids to cross the $7 billion mark. Also complicating a potential Bezos bid are reports that Snyder is opposed to selling the team to the man who owns the Washington Post. People close to Bezos have denied New York Post reports claiming that he could potentially sell the Washington Post in order to buy the Commanders.
☆ DC's slate for its new movie and TV universe is bizarre, risky, and a bit confusing — but still promising
  + stars: | 2023-02-01 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
DC Studios announced the first wave of movies and TV shows for the new DC universe. There are also aspects of the old DC movie universe — but it still shows promise. The slate, titled "Chapter 1: Gods and Monsters," is, to put it plainly, bizarre — and even a bit risky. If anything, it's still a bit of the old DC Extended Universe. If Gunn and Safran wanted to keep any aspects of the old DC movie universe, they picked the right ones.
☆ Streaming services are spending bank on big-budget movies. That's not buying Oscar nods.
  + stars: | 2023-01-24 | by ( Travis Clark | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +5 min
Streaming services came up short at this year's Oscar nominations, announced on Tuesday. This year, it only has 15 — nine of which were for its one best-picture contender, "All Quiet on the Western Front." But the nominations also reflect the shifting streaming priorities for media and tech companies coming out of the pandemic. Only one of those four movies got an Oscar nomination — an adapted screenplay nod for "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery." Leonardo DiCaprio and Lily Gladstone in "Killers of the Flower Moon," an Oscar contender for next year.

James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios, said that he is focused on "hammering out the new DCU." He seemed to shoot down the possibility of a director's cut for David Ayer's "Suicide Squad." Gunn and Peter Safran are leading DC's new movie and TV efforts. Gunn, who's leading DC's movie, TV, and animation efforts with producer Peter Safran, said it's important to acknowledge fans but that he's focused on the future. The most recent DC movie, "Black Adam," hinted at the franchise's future with a cameo by Henry Cavill reprising his role as Superman, but it hasn't yet proven to be a smash hit.

Washington Commanders owners announced Wednesday that they had hired Bank of America, in a major step toward a potential sale of the troubled NFL franchise. "Dan and Tanya Snyder and the Washington Commanders announced today that they have hired BofA Securities to consider potential transactions," according to a team statement. Snyder purchased the once-proud franchise ahead of the 1999 season, taking over a club that has won three Super Bowl titles. The team finally bowed to public pressure in 2020 and rebranded itself the Commanders last year. Off the field, the team has been accused by multiple former employees of fostering a toxic, misogynistic workplace.

Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder has hired Bank of America to explore "potential transactions," the team said Wednesday. The NFL team hired the bank to help facilitate a potential sale, according to a person familiar with the matter. Snyder isn't being forced to sell the team despite mounting pressure to potentially remove him as an NFL owner, the person said. Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay said at last month's NFL owners' meeting that there was "merit to remove" Snyder as owner of the Commanders. After Irsay's comments, the Commanders released a statement saying Snyder wouldn't sell the team.
☆ 'Black Adam' wants to be a Marvel movie, but can't leave the Snyder era behind — and it highlights the mess that DC Studios' new bosses will have to sort out

There are a lot of Snyder-esque moments in "Black Adam," particularly when it comes to slo-mo action sequences and an overall somber tone. Johnson's Black Adam is a serious-faced anti-hero who isn't afraid to kill a lot of people. "Black Adam" is the perfect encapsulation of both the last nearly decade of DC movies and what the franchise wants to be in the future. For all of its troubles, the DC movie universe had at least seemed to be course correcting. The director, Jaume Collet-Serra, doesn't so much as put his personal touch on it as borrow familiar touches from past Snyder-directed DC movies.

Stanford University apologized Wednesday for limiting Jewish student admissions during the 1950s — a practice that the school long denied had taken place. Stanford had targeted specific high schools known to have significant populations of Jewish students, allowing the school to still "claim that the university did not impose a quota on Jewish students," the report said. It said that despite "decades of denials," a 1953 memo, dubbed the "Glover Memo," clearly reported Snyder's "intentions to act against Jewish students." "However, the report articulates how this effort to suppress Jewish enrollments had long-lasting effects and dissuaded some Jewish students from applying to Stanford in later years. “This is what we want for all members of the Stanford community,” she said, according to the outlet.
