-So, there’s an actual chance that Deadpool could get a Best Picture Oscar nom. For real.
–Matthew McConaughey and Bryce Dallas Howard star in the red band Gold trailer.
-The CW was the last network to present their fall TV schedule. I really like the trailer for the Arrow spinoff, The Flash. (“Lightening gave me abs?!”) Plus, Tom Cavanagh! And anything by Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas is definitely worth a look.
-Speaking of The CW, my DVR has suddenly decided to stop recording Arrow so I missed the big finale twist, but everyone’s freaking out about it. Sidenote: Are Felicity and Roy dating IRL? Her Instagram feed seems to suggest so.

–Emily Blunt was adorable on Kimmel last night talking about the time she tookTom Cruise to a sex clubfor Matt Damon‘s birthday.

-CBS announced their fall schedule and surprised everyone by passing on How I Met Your Dad. CBS boss Nina Tassler told reporters there were “elements of the pilot … that didn’t work out” and she asked the creators to retool it, but they refused.

-Speaking of the fall TV season, here are the trailers for the new shows coming from TBS/TNT and ABC. Selfie looks particularly terrible — John Cho and Karen Gillan both deserve so much better. And ABC continues to come up with the worst names for shows ever. Shonda Rhimes’ latest series starring Viola Davis looks like a winner, though.
–Nicole Kidman‘s Grace of Monaco debuted at Cannes to scathing reviews.

–Prince William hosted a star-studded event last night. I’m obsessed with Emma Watson‘s lip colour!

I mean, just horrible. I remember… saying, ‘The invisible carnage of the unf**ked wives and the children not being read to is just wafting out.’ ”
