The “Hollywood Reporter” posted a list of 2024′s Winners and Losers. Here are some of the highlights:

1. Winner: Zendaya and other former child stars. Specifically, Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Lindsay Lohan, who’s having kind of a comeback year.

2. Losers: Kevin Costner and Francis Ford Coppola. “Horizon” and “Megalopolis” were big, expensive passion projects that both went bust.

3. Winner: Taylor Sheridan. While Costner left “Yellowstone” to do “Horizon”, everything Sheridan touches continues to turn to gold.

4. Winner: Joe Rogan and podcast disruptors.

5. Loser: The Joe Biden / Kamala Harris celebrity cheer squad.

6. Winner: Everybody involved with “The Penguin”.

7. Loser: Everybody involved with “Joker: Folie à Deux”.
