Does the Game of Thrones Teaser Offer a Hint About Cersei’s Fate?
HBO has debuted the first teaser trailer for the eighth and final season of Game of Thrones. Unfortunately for spoiler-hungry fans, this teaser doesn't feature any actual footage from the season, instead providing a bleak look at the fate of Westeros as the forces of ice and fire sweep across the land.
Even without a good look at the surviving heroes and villains of the franchise, this trailer could wind up revealing quite a bit about upcoming events on the series, given that the creative team is pretty meticulous about including clues and foreshadowing in the series. And, since we still have a long wait until Game of Thrones returns in April, we figured we'd kill some time by completely overthinking and overanalyzing the 30-second video. With that in mind, here are all the interesting clues and theories we came up with after seeing this brief teaser - are we way off base, or could we be onto something?

Star Wars: When Will Disney Reveal Episode 9’s Official Title?
We're a little over a year away from the release of Star Wars: Episode IX, and fans are getting antsy about when we'll start to learn some concrete details about the third and final film in this Star Wars trilogy. Disney and Lucasfilm definitely like to keep their cards close to the vest when it comes to the Star Wars franchise, and we still haven't learned the full title for this sequel, much less seen any actual footage.
While we're not expecting a trailer to drop before next spring, we'd like to think a title announcement might be coming a little sooner than later based on how Disney has rolled out information about this Star Wars trilogy in the past. Here are some theories for when Disney might finally let slip this crucial piece of information.

Did the Events of Infinity War Hurt Black Panther’s Oscar Chances?
Warning: This editorial will contain spoilers for Avengers: Infinity War.
As of this writing, Ryan Coogler's Black Panther is the highest-grossing film of 2018 (domestic) as well as one of the year's best reviewed. Although Black Panther was released back in February, a month that infrequently produces awards bait, there was nonetheless immediate and undeniable Oscar buzz surrounding it. Immediately after Black Panther's release, the external conversation began: Would this film, the 18th in an ultra-popular and well-regarded series of superhero films, finally be the first of its genre to be nominated for Best Picture? It didn’t happen for The Dark Knight. It didn't happen for Logan. It didn't happen for Wonder Woman. Maybe this time the superhero bug would finally make its way into the ear of The Academy.
