If you woke up and thought it was March 2025, you were right — if you saw the new cover of Vanity Fair.
Desperate for circulation in 2024, the once vaunted magazine has released its Hollywood issue today.
Usually, the Hollywood Issue is tied to the Oscars, which are in March. But VF has ditched the Oscars, it seems, although Why? remains the question.
On the cover is a real movie star, Nicole Kidman, and a bunch of others who are sort of Bplus list. But there are also two people no one in the US has ever heard of: a Korean rapper named Lisa, and a British-Rwandan actor named Ncuti Gatwa.
Who? These two I’m sure are talented but have nothing whatsoever to do with Hollywood. They would be cool for inside features, and as such are buried on the third panel foldover.
It’s all really bizarre. Maybe Vanity Fair will have a holiday issue in March!
PS Josh O’Connor’s PR people should sue — he looks nothing like himself. He’s wearing big chunky glasses. I thought it was Zachary Quinto!
