  Viola Davis Rejects Target’s Apology Over “Blackface” Halloween Costume Viola Davis has rejected Target’s apology after the retailer pulled a controversial kids’ Halloween costume that critics said evoked racist minstrel and blackface imagery. Target removed the $25 "Kids' Glows Under Blacklight Circus Clown" costume from its Hyde and EEK! Boutique line after backlash over the design’s exaggerated features, which many linked to Jim Crow-era minstrel and blackface tropes. The retailer took down the item and issued an apology, saying they “got this wrong” and acknowledging the deep hurt caused to Black customers and employees. Davis, however, turned down the apology. She argued that Target failed to grasp the historical weight and dehumanizing impact of the imagery. “...I do not believe that you understand the impact... the pain... the dehumanization of the above,” Davis said, adding that the incident showed the company was “not on her side” and that such imagery contribu...

 Samantha Morton admits being replaced by Scarlett Johansson 'hurt'


Samantha Morton recently revisited the disappointment of being replaced in Spike Jonze’s 2013 film Her. Originally cast as the voice of Samantha, the AI system that Joaquin Phoenix’s character falls in love with, Morton recorded her lines in specially designed booths and even inside a car trunk to capture intimacy. 


However, in post‑production, she was replaced by Scarlett Johansson. Morton admitted she was “surprised” and “a little sad” by the decision, though she acknowledged it was the director’s prerogative. 


She added that Johansson’s voice was “beautiful” and evocative, but wished she had been given another chance to try an American accent.


Despite that setback, Morton is now earning acclaim for her role as Circe in Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey. Nolan praised her performance as pivotal to the film, describing Circe as a character who shifts the entire dynamic of the story. 


He recalled that after one of Morton’s takes, the crew spontaneously applauded a reaction he said he hadn’t seen since Heath Ledger’s legendary turn in The Dark Knight. 


Nolan emphasized Morton’s depth and limitless approach to her craft, calling her the “fulcrum” of the epic.


Morton joins a star‑studded cast including Matt Damon, Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Lupita Nyong’o, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron in the adaptation of Homer’s classic. 


With The Odyssey’s release, Morton’s portrayal of Circe is being hailed as one of the standout performances, cementing her reputation as a versatile and powerful actor. 


Her journey from the disappointment of Her to the triumph of Nolan’s epic highlights both the unpredictability of Hollywood and the resilience of an artist committed to her craft.
