They've been together for eight years, and now, for the first time in Oscars history, romantic partners are both in serious contention for the best director trophy. In their first joint profile, the 'Little Women' and 'Marriage Story' filmmakers reveal how they are surviving the season and focusing on their future: "There's a sense of wanting to show off for each other."

Among The Hollywood Reporter chief TV critic’s faves are gems from Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Damon Lindelof and Ava DuVernay, as well as a Northern Irish Netflix comedy, an underloved AMC oddity and a stellar sophomore season of HBO’s most Shakespearean family saga.
