FILM CRITICS’ GROUPS DENOUNCE NEXSTAR AND DISNEY-ABC DECISIONS TO SUSPEND “JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE!”

We, the members of the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the National Society of Film Critics, strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” off the air. For decades, our organizations have represented a profession that is enabled by the First Amendment. Kimmel’s long-running talk show promotes free speech, including when it gives film artists the chance to discuss their work. There is only one word to describe the decision by powerful media corporations to silence an individual’s perspective due to fear of repercussions by the government: censorship. This is the antithesis of the values embodied by our work. We demand a reversal of this decision and encourage our colleagues across the industry to do the same.

We strongly condemn the actions taken by Nexstar and Disney-ABC to pull JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! off the air.

Also in this month’s #CineWomen column, I reflected on how one of my favorite travel activities is something I do multiple times a week at home: go to the movies. 📽️

CineWomen 18: Jennifer Kaytin Robinson waxes nostalgic with ‘I Know What You Did Last Summer’… Plus Victoria Mahoney directs a sequel to ‘The Old Guard,’ Sophie Brooks says ‘Oh, Hi,’ and Karyn Kusama’s ‘Girlfight’ turns twenty-five.

“We had an inkling—or, rather, a fear. But in the year of fire and ICE our hometown of Los Angeles has experienced so far, ‘Spring’ acutely speaks to the hope we have for recovery and resistance.”
