How the 2025 Grammys Responded to L.A. Wildfires

During the broadcast from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on Sunday evening, the show’s producers and a roster of A-list musicians, actors, and celebrities paid tribute to Angelenos and those affected by the fires. Trevor Noah, the host, kicked off the event with a monologue celebrating the essence of L.A., followed by folk-rock band Dawes commencing the ceremony with a powerful rendition of Randy Newman’s timeless hit, “I Love L.A.” The band was joined by an impressive ensemble of Grammy-winning artists – Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, and St. Vincent – who added their talent to create the biggest performance of Dawes’ career so far.

Before ‘Game of Thrones’ There Was This 44-Year-Old Dark Fantasy Gem

Despite being largely overlooked, the film “Dragonslayer” has generally gone unnoticed, initially bombing at the box office but later gaining some recognition. Remarkably, the discussion surrounding “Dragonslayer” bears a striking resemblance to that of “Game of Thrones.”

The similarities between these two works primarily lie in their dark, complex narratives and the presence of fantastical elements, such as dragons. Both stories are set in medieval worlds filled with intrigue, magic, and political machinations, offering a rich tapestry of characters and events. This shared thematic ground could indeed make “Dragonslayer” and “Game of Thrones” excellent companion pieces for those who enjoy delving into complex and immersive fantasy narratives.
