Alejandro G. Iñárritu won in 2015 for "Birdman," the bizarrely hilarious tale of an aging superhero actor trying to get serious on Broadway, and he did it again in 2016 with "The Revenant," a radically different western focused on a quest for revenge in subzero temperatures.

The lion's share of the past decade of Best Picture winners — Spotlight, Birdman, 12 Years a Slave, Argo, The Artist, The King's Speech, The Hurt Locker, Slumdog Millionaire, No Country for Old Men, and The Departed — are R-rated dramas about historical topics or mature themes.

Birdman – Tha Carter , 2004 You won't find many people as quick to throw the stodgily traditional idea that rap has to stick to a certain type of dense lyricism under the bus as I am—I'm on record as being super pro-Lil Yachty, after all.
|
|
The centerpiece of the talks was the Cash Money honcho finally agreeing to release "Tha Carter V." We're told that is Wayne's first priority and he thought Birdman was on board too, but when nothing changed on that front ... Wayne pulled the plug on any possible settlement.

The Mexican filmmaker, director of last year's best film Oscar winner "Birdman" and this year's nominee "The Revenant," and others on the panel agreed producers need to do more at the start of a film's development, in casting for instance, to achieve more cultural balance in film.

For the full effect, you'll need to watch the video, which is great for a number of reasons: The video begins with Birdman declaring "it ain't right if we don't make it hot in the building" and draping his red bandana over the mic for Wayne.
|
|
Fat Joe and Wayne, of course, would continue to link up, particularly through their mutual friend DJ Khaled, who can be seen enthusiastically holding an umbrella for Fat Joe in the "Make It Rain" video (look for Diddy, Rick Ross, and Birdman, too—it's a hell of a video).
|
|
J. For most of 2017, the awards season field was unusually — and blissfully — wide open, with no one film, nor even two or three films, staking claims as the Ones to Beat (as had been the case in previous years with La La Land, The Revenant, Boyhood, and Birdman).
|
|
It has produced the last two Best Picture champs – Spotlight and Birdman – as well as calibrated the awards-season trajectories of films like Gravity, Black Swan, The Queen, Brokeback Mountain and then-underdog The Hurt Locker, which would end up taking home the Oscars' top prize in 2010.

All I know is that he's a few hours late and I'd be mad if not for the fact that TV Jonny's Christmas Party is like if David Lynch directed a script written by Birdman about the retail jewelry business, but aimed it at an adults-only holiday audience.

T-Pain, Young Jeezy, Ludacris, Busta Rhymes, Big Boi, Lil Wayne, Fat Joe, Birdman, and Rick Ross – DJ Khaled, We the Best, 2007 Soon after "We Takin' Over" changed everything with regards to DJ Khaled and the Southern rap supercut, Khaled's next big single, "I'm So Hood," hit.
|
|
That gives us the best part of the song, which comes right after his opening salvo and details his prison bid before promising good things to come and a rude awakening for at least one guy: Does Lil Wayne have a Carter V label news surprise ready for Birdman?
|

This year, Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu leads a jury that includes Elle Fanning, Greek director Yorgos Lanthimos (The Favourite), Senegalese actress Maimouna N'Diaye, Polish director Paweł Pawlikowski (Cold War), French comic book creator and director Eric Bilal, Moroccan writer-director Robin Campillo and American director Kelly Reichardt (Meek's Cutoff).

Future, Mack Maine, Nicki Minaj, Birdman, and Lil Wayne – Rich Gang, Rich Gang , 2013 Today is International Women's Day, which, despite the many arguments that have been made about Lil Wayne's feminist credentials via the lane of sex positivity, is ultimately not a very productive prompt for discussing Lil Wayne.
|
|
" This is an iconic song for many reasons—Wayne also has an important Birdman moment here, saying, "Damn right I kissed my daddy / I think they pissed at how rich my Daddy / is" before adding "Diss me and don't diss my Daddy / 'cause who was there when no one wasn't?
|
|
Of course, the point is largely moot because as entertaining as Lil Wayne's bars are here and as much as his vendetta against Birdman seems to have energized him, there's still the unfortunate fact that he basically rips the original song's hook (the original being OG Maco's "U Guessed It").
|
|
"Pop Bottles" was a throwaway Birdman song that nonetheless had the distinction of being a top 40 hit, which should make you happy if for no other reason than it means that Jadakiss got to make a cameo as the coach of Lil Wayne's championship-winning basketball team in the video.
|
|
In the years after, he went on to reiterate his devotion to Cash Money over and over—including on "I'm Me," where he says, in a dark anti-prophecy, "It's obvious that he'll be Cash Money 'til the death of him" and discusses his close ties to Slim and Birdman.
|

For the last two years, this rapper, now two decades into a career defined by prodigious output, has been enmeshed in a messy public contract dispute with Cash Money Records, his longtime label, and in a more personal clash with its boss and his onetime father figure, Baby, or Birdman.
|
|
Also of note: Greta Gerwig's "Lady Bird" (A24), which has received rave reviews, making it a strong candidate for Oscar attention, collected $1.2 million in just 37 theaters, for a two-week total of $1.8 million — outperforming early results for awards-season hits like "Spotlight" in 2015 and "Birdman" in 2014.

Stone gives the performance of her career (even better than her Oscar-nominated turn in Birdman) as Mia, an aspiring actress who, in between humiliating auditions for distracted producers and casting directors, works as a barista on a studio lot where she's taunted each day by women living her ultimate dream.
|
|
There was Birdman, the superstar record impresario responsible for Lil Wayne, the newly minted best rapper alive, both of whom Khaled had known from his days as a record store clerk in New Orleans—in fact, Khaled had witnessed them meeting in Odyssey Records, according to the same Miami New Times article.
|
|
It may be a casting gag that he's gone from playing Batman to Birdman to the Vulture, but Michael Keaton is actually pretty good in Spider-Man: Homecoming—good enough that you can already find him on many "best superhero movie villain" lists that pop up on the Internet week after week.
|
|
One of the highlights of Solange's spirit-feeding A Seat at the Table album was the moment when Lil Wayne popped up on "Mad"—a song about exercising the right to express justified rage—to talk about his issues with Birdman, a previously-unknown attempt at suicide, and the burden of celebrity.
|
|
A somewhat prurient broader interest in the meaning and autobiographical referents of face tattoos didn't bubble up in popular culture again until rapper Lil Wayne and his artistic peer class — Birdman, the Game, Rick Ross — started getting teardrops and crosses on their cheekbones in the mid-aughts, signifying various types of death and tragedy.
|

Films often mock critics as pretentious (as in M. Night Shyamalan's Lady in the Water), inhumanly dour and judgmental (Brad Bird's Ratatouille), and power-hungry (Alejandro G. Iñárritu's Birdman), but Gilroy finds a little of all the above in Morf, while still letting him come across as deeply engaged with the art he's critiquing.

|
He is looking forward to a future where he doesn't have to square off against Tony Allen in practice, but he is sad that he won't be able to collect any more material for his shocking tell-all book about his time with the G'n'G Grizz: Birdman, for his part, is sad for now.

Limp Bizkit, meanwhile, managed to use the gravitational pull of their massive success to wrangle collaborations with (*inhales deeply*) Method Man and Redman, Swizz Beatz, DMX, Xzibit, Snoop Dogg, Neptunes, E-40, 8-Ball, Timbaland, Diddy, Bubba Sparxxx, DJ Premier, Ice Cube, Birdman, Run-DMC, Lil Kim, Rock from Heltah Skeltah, and Lil Wayne.

"What we're seeing in an interesting way in the visual effects space is that a lot of VFX houses have been experimenting with real-time [rendering]," explains Madison Wells Media Immersive executive producer Ethan Stearns, who previously worked on projects like Carne y Arena, the VR collaboration between ILMxLab and Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu.
|
|
But the point is that everyone—Wayne, BG, Turk, Mannie Fresh, DJ Khaled, Scott Storch, the various producers who have worked with Cash Money, Ross's friends, Ross himself—has been fucked over by Birdman, despite the many, many things they have done for him, and this extends well beyond Wayne's personal crusade to get paid.

A good deal of the conversation surrounding Birdman director Alejandro González Iñárritu's new film The Revenant—which tells the revenge story of a frontiersman in colonial North America—has to do with Leonardo DiCaprio, and whether or not he'll get his first Oscar for the gut-wrenchingly intense performance he delivers as leading man.

Last fall, David Drake nailed its appeal in a great essay for Complex that I recommend reading in full: Check that out here, listen to the song, and let your worries wash away to the dulcet tones of, uh, Birdman growling about he'll kill you if you think he can't make a billion dollars.

Birdman: Ain't no lemons, pleighboi, just money yerd mayDrake: DefinitelyBirdman: They think they can go viral wit me, I go viral wit dem, feel meDrake: AbsolutelyBirdman: You can't play a real playa the big Bs come thru, the Big Bs get respek yerd mayDrake: For sureBirdman: I need you to kill CharlamagneDrake: Exa— abeg?

In the final chapter to this story, J. Prince sort of connected Drake to Young Money, so although Cash Money took the lane that No Limit took from Rap-A-Lot, in the end, everyone was really more or less driving down the same highway, and somehow Birdman has managed to screw over everyone involved.

DiCaprio's performance in Golden Globe Best Picture winner The Revenant has been whispered about even before the film was released, and with the actor teaming up with director Alejandro Iñárritu for the film — an Oscar favorite after his Birdman wins last year — this could be the beginning of an awards season wave for the brutal revenge film.

Her long-time collaborator Lil Wayne fell out with Cash Money label co-founder Birdman, her man Meek Mill was dragged by her biggest fan Drake with a series of songs—one of which is literally Grammy-nominated—and then her younger brother was charged with rape, and she embroiled herself in his case by bailing him out.

Jay Sean, Birdman, and Lil Wayne, To the Sky , 2010 Continuing the week of talking about Lil Wayne's chart hits, I would like to disprove something I said on Monday, which is that Wayne having over a hundred Hot 100 entries means that there are literally a hundred songs that are more well known than his mixtape freestyles.
|
|
Young Money and Cash Money—the Birdman and Lil Wayne imprints to which OVO Sound counts itself as a descendant—became Southern rap supernovas by sharing and spreading star power; Mannie Fresh used his production talents to bolster the career of B.G and Juvenile, who in turn lifted up Lil Wayne, who brought up Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tyga.
|
|
He seems to emerge, supernatural-like, then pops off to somewhere beyond the stratosphere to wait for the release of Tha Carter V. Until Birdman or whomever releases the album, however, Wayne does appear to be siphoning out new tracks and features one by one—the latest of which are taken from his upcoming Dedication 6 mixtape.
|
|
But even if "Birdman" was shot normally, you would still have an off-beat, idiosyncratic story and a host of quirky characters to spend time with like Michael Keaton&aposs Riggan Thompson, Edward Norton&aposs Mike Shiner and Emma Stone&aposs Sam — all Oscar-nominated for their performances as characters we still remember to this day.

Fat Joe – Birdman and Lil Wayne, Like Father, Like Son, 2006 One more cut from Like Father, Like Son, which gives us the chance to point out that, for all of the greatness of his series of collabs with people like T-Pain and Juelz Santana, Lil Wayne and Fat Joe have a pretty solid resume of pairings with each other, too.

In fact, the category could almost be renamed Most Directing, since the award has gone to the filmmakers who marshaled arguably the most technically and logistically challenging productions (Ang Lee for 2012's Life of Pi, Alfonso Cuarón for 2013's Gravity, Iñárritu for 2014's Birdman and 2015's The Revenant, and Damien Chazelle for 2016's La La Land).

Day 238: "Over Here Hustlin'" – Birdman and Lil Wayne, Like Father, Like Son, 2006 One thing Lil Wayne was both particularly good at and particularly interested in doing circa 2005-2007 (it's there throughout, but his use of the technique really peaked during this period) was using consonance—that is, the repetition of hard consonants—to add percussion to tracks.
|
|
The official, label-sanctioned Lil Wayne narrative that found him peaking pre- Carter III relied on, essentially, three data points: There was "Make It Rain," his hit with Fat Joe, "Stuntin' Like My Daddy," his hit with Birdman, and "You," his hit with Lloyd (this run extended, in 2007, to include Playaz Circle's "Duffle Bag Boy" and DJ Khaled's "We Takin' Over (Remix)").
|
|
Until the label sharpens its promotional strategy and finds its own Meek—a rapper captivating enough to use the Drake co-sign and OVO Sound resources as stepping stones to greatness, as Drake himself did with Lil Wayne and Young Money, and Wayne did with Birdman and Cash Money—it'll remain a pretty museum of collaborators Drake likes who don't blow up.
|
|
Try "The Gang Solves the Gas Crisis," a fiery caper that ends with one of the great catchphrases of all time; "Charlie Work," a kaleidoscopic single-shot sendup of "Birdman" that finds genius within an idiotic routine; "Sweet Dee Has a Heart Attack," which takes going postal to a depraved new level; and "The Nightman Cometh," maybe the worst musical ever written.

Sitting in his rented home in a wealthy Tokyo neighborhood one day in December, he walked John Lesher, a Hollywood producer behind the Oscar-winning 2014 Michael Keaton film, "Birdman," through the plot of his own story, describing what he sees as his unjust imprisonment by Japanese officials and his struggle to prove his innocence, said people familiar with the discussions.

FT. $84,000 approximate annual rent 203 Ninth Street (between Third and Fourth Avenues) Gowanus, Brooklyn John Finn, a Brazilian jiu-jitsu second-degree black belt, who is known as Birdman, has signed a 10-year lease for a 2,153-square-foot ground floor space, with a 645-square-foot cellar, for his martial arts studio in this five-story rental apartment building.
