I was in London at the BAFTA Awards and Guillermo was screaming, Youre my mentor! Youre my mentor!' says the Hungarian-born Medak. I said, What are youtalkingabout? He said, Your movie TheChangelingis just a masterpiece. Its just nice to hear that from fellow directors whose work I love and respect.

Credit: Giovanni Rufino/FOX The hyperkinetics can feel like wheel-spinning. But whenGothamis good, it taps a deep reservoir of comic book grandiosity. Last nights finale was grandiosity gone nuclear.

Raising a black boy around here, sometimes, you have no idea. I felt like the best version of the show was exploring the four stages of black manhood. This echoes whatcreator Lena Waithe told EWahead of series premiere last year. Its not, Lets show black people in Chicago in a positive light. Its, I want to show people in a human light.
