Marty Supreme actress quits new film after casting backlash
Actress Odessa A'zion has pulled out of A24's latest film, Deep Cuts, after online backlash over her casting. The movie is an adaptation of author Holly Brickley's novel, set in the early 2000s, which explores a romantic relationship between college friends Percy and Joe. Fans of the novel were unhappy Marty Supreme star A'zion was due to play supporting character Zoe Gutierrez, described in the book as having Mexican and Jewish heritage. The 25-year-old actress announced she'd pulled out of the production, admitting she had not read the novel and saying she should have paid more attention to Zoe's background before signing up. A'Zion, whose mother is Jewish, was criticised for taking on the role, with users online arguing the part should have gone to a Latin American actress.

Golden Globes host Nikki Glaser's best jokes
Host Nikki Glaser returned to host the Golden Globes on Sunday, delivering a scorching opening monologue that roasted many of the celebrities in the room. Just like Wicked, I'm back for a sequel, she told the A-list crowd. Just like Frankenstein, I've been pieced together by an unlicensed European surgeon. And just like the podcasters nominated tonight, I should not be allowed to be this close to Julia Roberts. The stars took her cutting comments in good humour as Glaser reflected on the last year in film and TV.

WiCkeD: A Simple Method to Make Multiple Choice Benchmarks More Challenging
Elhady, Ahmed, Agirre, Eneko, Artetxe, Mikel
We introduce WiCkeD, a simple method to increase the complexity of existing multiple-choice benchmarks by randomly replacing a choice with "None of the above", a method often used in educational tests. We show that WiCkeD can be automatically applied to any existing benchmark, making it more challenging. We apply WiCkeD to 6 popular benchmarks and use it to evaluate 18 open-weight LLMs. The performance of the models drops 12.1 points on average with respect to the original versions of the datasets. When using chain-of-thought on 3 MMLU datasets, the performance drop for the WiCkeD variant is similar to the one observed when using the LLMs directly, showing that WiCkeD is also challenging for models with enhanced reasoning abilities. WiCkeD also uncovers that some models are more sensitive to the extra reasoning required, providing additional information with respect to the original benchmarks. We relase our code and data at https://github.com/ahmedselhady/wicked-benchmarks.

The turmoil has led a powerful religious leader to expand her influence in the region, and groups on the fringes are fighting for control wherever they can. You play as a holy warrior called a Cerim, imbued with magic and destined to fight the Pestilence.
Former Bethesda lead Jeff Gardiner debuts new studio Something Wicked
Gardiner has assembled a strong studio to back him up. He's joined by co-founder Charles Staples, formerly lead designer of "Fallout: New Vegas" and design director of "The Outer Worlds" at Obsidian Entertainment. Rounding out the staff are Leonard Boyarsky and Tim Cain, two legends in the computer RPG space who worked on "Fallout" and "Fallout 2" and laid down the foundation and aesthetic of the entire franchise. Boyarsky and Cain also started Troika Games together with fellow Interplay alumnus Jason Anderson, where they made two more cult classic RPGs: the steampunk fantasy "Arcanum: Of Steamworks and Magick Obscura" and the dark urban fantasy "Vampire: The Masquerade -- Bloodlines."
