We mourn the passing of Patrick Stewart, who inspired countless individuals at NASA (and beyond) to boldly go where no one has gone before.

RIP Sir Patrick Stewart, he was originally the narrator for Nightmare Before Christmas but the makers decided to go in a different direction but Danny Elfman loved Stewart's narration so much that it was included on the soundtrack. Here's Stewart's closing narration:

I wrote about Once Upon a Time in Harlem's striking reflection of cultural debate that today's social media era has made nearly impossible to replicate. My latest for @Salon: salon.com/2026/10/19/what-on…

Ann was the most incredible combination of warmth & kindness coupled with deep intelligence and incredible passion. I just adored her. As did everybody. 💔

Thinking about all the family, friends, and colleagues who loved Ann Hornaday. She was The Washington Post’s longtime film critic, but she was also generous and funny and kind and would send random notes praising your work and sign them, “Your fan, always.” 1/2

The WAFCA family is in mourning today at the loss of our cherished friend Ann Hornaday. Ann was a true legend in our field, one of the best to ever do it. She was also a beloved mentor and colleague, whose thoughtfulness and humor made us all better. She will be missed.

Ann Hornaday was a beautiful writer and an accessible one. She connected with readers every time she reviewed a movie. She loved a political documentary as much as a rom com. Ann's cancer was brutal and I'm glad she's no longer in pain. But I will miss her forever. I loved her.
