Reflecting on Kobe Bryant’s death one year later
On January 26, 2020, Kobe Bryant, along with his daughter Gianna Bryant and Payton Chester, Sarah Chester, Alyssa Altobelli, Keri Altobelli, John Altobelli, Christina Mauser, and the helicopter's pilot, Ara Zobayan, died in a helicopter crash in Calabasas, CA. On the one-year anniversary, Los Angeles Times sports reporters Dan Woike and Broderick Turner reflect on how the Lakers, Los Angeles, and themselves have processed the tragedy.

Six directors tackle the idea (or is it a myth?) of controlling a film set
If directing a film had a theme song, it would likely be Janet Jackson's "Control." Or maybe Queen and David Bowie's "Under Pressure." In short, it's a tough gig. These six directors know that control on a film set is a matter of balance -- between getting the job done and allowing a creative flow: David Fincher ("Mank"); Paul Greengrass ("News of the World"); Regina King ("One Night in Miami"); Spike Lee ("Da 5 Bloods"); Aaron Sorkin ("The Trial of the Chicago Seven") and Chloe Zhao ("Nomadland"). Control is an illusion, contends Fincher. “The greatest fallacy of our profession.” The directors gathered virtually for The Envelope's annual Oscar Roundtable.

2020 Oscar Roundtable - George Clooney, Delroy Lindo and more discuss their films
Call it the Imposter Syndrome. That feeling of being caught out as a fraud, of not really being good enough. Everyone has it at some point in their careers, but these five actors carry it with them: Riz Ahmed, star of "Sound of Metal"), George Clooney ("The Midnight Sky"), Delroy Lindo ("Da 5 Bloods"), Gary Oldman ("Mank") and Steven Yeun ("Minari"). "It’s real with every actor," said Clooney, who directed himself as a lone scientist left on a dying Earth. "Because to be successful at any level in this industry means that you’re beating such huge odds." The actors joined the Envelope Roundtable to share on-set stories and praise their missing colleague, the late Chadwick Boseman.

Chapter 3: Will antibodies block this next wave of variants?
Tulio de Oliveira, a South Africa-based geneticist and bioinformatician, shares research that led to his discovery of mutations driving coronavirus variants in that country and around the world.
What began as an effort to explain South Africa’s sudden rise in cases led De Oliveira to discover multiple mutations to the virus — and to find that the variants resulting from these simultaneously evolving mutations are resistant to human convalescent plasma and monoclonal antibodies. De Oliveira presents these findings during this final chapter of our series.
Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong is a surgeon and scientist who has spent his career studying the human immune system to fight cancer and infectious disease. In mid-October, Soon-Shiong's company, ImmunityBio, received permission from the Food and Drug Administration to begin Phase 1 trials of its COVID-19 vaccine candidate. He has also received approval to begin trials in South Africa, where he will explore the potential of his T cell vaccine to prevent infection from these mutated virus strains.

Chapter 1: The evolving virus
In the first chapter of “The Science Behind the Coronavirus, Series III: Mutations,” Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the executive chairman of the Los Angeles Times, explains how mutations alter the shape and infectivity of the coronavirus. With the shape and structure of the virus rapidly changing, there is new worry about the possibility that antibody therapies and even vaccines designed against the first wave of SARS-CoV-2 may not be as effective as hoped after the inevitable evolution of the virus to resist antibodies.
Research on this question is only just beginning. A study by Pfizer scientists working with the University of Texas Medical Branch at Galveston shows the Pfizer vaccine remains effective against a mutation common to the South African and British coronavirus variants. But the researchers say that more studies are underway to measure combinations of mutations against the vaccine.
In the meantime, Dr. Soon-Shiong says, a different approach — to activate the body’s memory T cells against the virus — could remain unaffected by the mutations against the spike protein on the surface of the virus. That strategy drives the vaccine candidate that Dr. Soon-Shiong’s company, ImmunityBio, is currently testing.

Introduction to the Science Behind the Coronavirus, Series III: Mutations
More than nine months after the last installment of our “The Science Behind the Coronavirus” series, it’s time for another in-depth look at the evolution of the virus. In this introduction to our series, Dr. Patrick Soon-Shiong, the executive chairman of the Los Angeles Times, explains how the mutations that gave rise to variants of the coronavirus present new threats — and new challenges for scientists.
