8/7c Black Girl Missing (Lifetime)
Where do you turn when the police and media are no help?
Lifetime opts to explore the other side of Missing White Woman Syndrome by showcasing the disparity in how a missing young girl of color slips through the cracks, prompting her mother to turn to internet sleuths, amateur detectives, and the community to find her daughter when the media and law enforcement are too busy directing all of their attention to a "pretty blond girl" of the same age.
Garcelle Beauvais shines in this ripped-from-the-headlines film inspired by far too many stories.

James Cameron’s “Avatar: The Way of Water” swept the 21st annual Ves Awards Wednesday night in an unprecedented wave of dominance in every category, winning nine of its record-breaking 14 nominations, including the top photoreal feature, and the newest category, The Emerging Technology Award, for its innovative water toolset.
Although the prestigious visual effects honorary society has not been a reliable Oscar bellwether in recent years — picking the VFX winner only twice in the last six years — this now looks like a lock for the “Avatar” sequel.
Hosted by Patton Oswalt at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” (from Netflix) — the favorite to win the Best Animated Feature Oscar — won the top animation trophy and took home three awards; Amazon’s “Thirteen Lives” snagged the supporting prize, and Amazon Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power” grabbed the episodic prize and also took home three awards.

“Avatar: The Way of Water” came out on top at the Visual Effects Society’s 2023 Ves Awards, held Wednesday evening at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills.

Suffice it to say that Avatar: The Way of Water commanded the Visual Effects Society’s attention. James Cameron box office-smash sequel scored a record 14 nominations for the 2023 Ves Awards, which were announced today.
Helped by three noms in the Emerging Technology category, Disney’s The Way of Water topped the single-year noms haul by Disney+’s The Mandalorian in 2021. It also shattered the old high-water mark for films, set by — no big surprise here — the original Avatar, which amassed 11 noms in 2010.

When I first started watching Days of Our Lives as a little kid, Tom and Alice were still alive, and their presence added such a sense of warmth and love to the show.
In the years since MacDonald Carey and Frances Reid passed away. that sense of family and love has gradually faded away, which is a real shame, because that was what drew viewers to Days of Our Lives year after year.
That's why when Julie decided to tell her new-to-her grandson about the family he was born into, it was so disappointing that there wasn't a single flashback.
Julie's family stories were a welcome diversion from all the kidnappings, violence, and general meanness for the sake of meanness elsewhere in Salem. I loved hearing all the old stories again. But having some flashbacks to go along with the memories would have enriched these scenes.

Jj has long been shoved into the background for no reason at all.
He is a legacy character -- the son of a supercouple and the great-grandson of Tom Horton. Yet he is often written as if he is not even part of the family. His connection to his father's brother is never acknowledged and his character rewritten to fit into a career path that doesn't fit him.
This week on Days of Our Lives, he finally got a story, but it's a horrible one.
Jj's story is, basically, that he was so upset over Abigail's "death" that he drank until he blacked out. When he awakened, he was naked and there was a note from someone thanking him for an amazing time. Therefore, he and everyone around him has concluded that he cheated on Gabi.
There are so many problems with this that it's hard to know where to begin.

Eileen Davidson ("Days of Our Lives") is the strong frontrunner to win Best Actress at the Daytime Emmys according to our overall predictions. If she does, she'll make history for the NBC soap: no lead actor from "Days" has won in 39 years. -Break- Discuss Daytime Emmy shocks and snubs in our message boards It was way back in 1975 when "Days" stars Macdonald Carey and Susan Flannery won Best Actor and Best Actress, respectively, for playing Tom Horton and his daughter-in-law Laura. That was the second Daytime Emmys ceremony ever held, and since then nominations for the show's lead actors have been hard to come by. In the last 20 years, its leading men have earned only four nods, and leading ladies have earned only three. The good news for "Days" is that most of those nominations have been recent, which means the academy has finally started to warm to the series and its stars.

Acting is perhaps one of the more glamorous of occupations but some of the pressures and demands of the profession have caused many of television's actors and actresses to retreat behind a satisfying hobby after the show.
Such is the case for many of the cast of NBC's Days Of Our Lives, the Monday-through-Friday dramatic series (2 p.m. Channels 6, 7, 11).
Each morning the Horton family and significant outsiders on the show get involved in some pretty emotional crises either in Dr. Tom Horton's (Macdonald Carey) hospital office or at the home he shares with Mrs. Horton (Frances Reid).
Offstage, members of the cast retreat to homes in Beverly Hills, North Hollywood, the downtown section of Los Angeles, as far as 50 miles away, to unwind and pursue their various hobbies.
Susan Flannery is a seamstress by avocation; Macdonald Carey plays chess; Denise Alexander (Susan) enjoys painting; Marie Cheatham (Dr.
