Bowen Yang and comedian Dave Chappelle appeared to have reconciled at the end of the latest Saturday Night Live (SNL) episode, hugging each other.

Netflix has had a strong year for awards season elsewhere this year. For the Emmys, it received 107 nominations across 35 titles, winning 24 awards. At the Golden Globes, it received 36 nominations and won 7 awards. Most recently, Netflix earned 15 BAFTA film nominations, with winners yet to be announced.

Comedians Bowen Yang and Dave Chappelle have seemingly rubbished any rumours of bad blood between them, as they embraced for a hug in the final moments of Saturday’s Saturday Night Live (18 January).

Actors Rachel Sennott and Bowen Yang announced the nominees for the 97th Academy Awards. Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” the Netflix narco-musical about transgender identity, dominated the list with 13 nominations.

Elon Musk has come under fire for doing a gesture in which he put his right hand on his chest before stretching his arm out straight, palm down, which many have interpreted as a Nazi salute. SNL cast member Chloe Fineman, whose father is Jewish, was among those to comment, posting an Instagram Story (via Daily Beast) that said:

In the final few moments of the Jan. 18 episode, which featured Chappelle hosting the show for the fourth time, several SNL cast members and musical guest GloRilla joined the comedian on stage to bid the audience farewell. During the goodbyes, Chappelle and Yang briefly hugged.

Polarizing but acclaimed “Emilia Pérez,” scored nods including best picture and a best actress nomination for star Karla Sofía Gascón. Gascón has now made history as the first openly transgender actor to ever score an Oscar nomination.

Last year, fans speculated that there was bad blood between the two stars after noticing an “awkward” interaction during one episode. In January 2024, Chappelle made a surprise appearance on an SNL episode that was hosted by Madame Web star Dakota Johnson with musical guest Justin Timberlake.

Emilia Pérez raked in the most nominations Thursday morning, followed by The Brutalist and Wicked. The Academy Awards are scheduled for Sunday, March 2.
