    The latest, acclaimed films from Noah Baumbach and Quentin Tarantino are the big nominees for the Houston Film Critics Society's 13th annual awards, which were announced on Sunday, December 15.

    Marriage Story, Baumbach's semi-autobiographical look at the dissolution of a marriage, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Tarantino's epic love letter to '60s-era Tinseltown, are nominated for for six awards, including Best Picture. (Hollywood is also nominated for Best Movie Poster Art.)

    1917, The Farewell, The Irishman, and Parasite are nominated for five awards, including Best Picture. Rounding out the Best Picture category are Knives Out, Jojo Rabbit, Joker, and Uncut Gems.

    Due to the close voting for nominations, the HFCS has six nominees for Best Actress this year, instead of five: Charlize Theron (Bombshell), Awkwafina (The Farewell), Renee Zellweger (Judy), Scarlett Johansson (Marriage Story), Saoirse Ronan (Little Women), and Lupita Nyong'o (Us).

    Nominated for Best Actor are Leonardo DiCaprio (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood), Adam Driver (Marriage Story), Eddie Murphy (Dolemite is My Name), Joaquin Phoenix (Joker), and Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems). The HFCS will once again honor films made in Texas with the nominees for the Texas Independent Film Awards (TIFA). This year's films are Bull, Building the American Dream, Nothing Stays the Same: The Story of the Saxon Pub, Seadrift and Sleeping in Plastic.

    “We’re a passionate, adventurous group,” says HFCS president Doug Harris. “This list of nominees represents the thousands of screening hours our members have devoted to uncovering the year’s most distinctive films so that we can bring the best of cinema from around the world to the audiences we serve.”

    Winners in all 18 categories will be presented on Thursday, January 2, 2020, at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. B-movie legend Roger Corman will be honored with a lifetime achievement award and Ellyn Needham, wife of the late filmmaker/stuntman Hal Needham, will present the inaugural award for Best Stunt Coordination Team.

    An after-party, open to all awards ticket holders at no additional charge, will be staged in the Ultimate Ransom Room at the Hotel ZaZa Houston Museum District. For more information, visit the event site.

    Buzzy R&B artist Khalid brings summer back to Houston on 2026 tour

    Khalid is coming to Houston in June 2026.

    Texas R&B and pop artist Khalid is hitting the road for his 2026 It's Always Summer Somewhere Tour, including a stop at the 713 Music Hall in downtown Houston on June 18, 2026.

    The 25-date tour starts in Las Vegas, Nevada, in May and ends in Berkeley, California, in June. In addition to the Houston date, he'll stop in Irving on June 17 and Austin on June 19. He appears to be skipping his adopted hometown of El Paso, where his family moved when he was in high school and where he started his music career.

    The 27-year-old artist originally became known as a teenager on SoundCloud, resulting in several notable features and the critically acclaimed album American Teen. Since those days, he's had features on tracks by Marshmello, Billie Eilish, Halsey, and Normani, among others. He's released four albums in total, including 2025's After the Sun Goes Down.

    Khalid has been nominated to many notable awards and won at least 20, including five at the Billboard Music Awards in 2020 and Best New Artist at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. He's had six Grammy nominations so far.

    Pop singer Lauv, known for the breakout hit "I Like Me Better," will join Khalid for all stops on the tour.

    Tickets are available now in an artist pre-sale. The general on sale will start Friday, December 12, at 10 am via khalidofficial.com.
