red carpets, Cynthia Erivo earned her first two Oscar nominations for portraying real-life abolitionist Harriet Tubman in the Kasi Lemmons-directed biopic and for her track "Stand Up," nominated for Best Original Song.

Expecting Amy Leave it to Amy Schumer to capture her first pregnancy, and all the struggles that came with her suffering from hyperemesis gravidarum, while touring and doing stand-up sets and share it with the world for an eye-opening three-part documentary that inspires and amuses. The funny lady turns the cameras on and doesn't hold back when it comes to near-constant nausea, arguments with her husband Chris Fischer or the struggle of mounting a comedy special while dealing with a
complicated pregnancy.
Expecting Amy is streaming on Crave now.
P-Valley A gritty look at exotic dancers and the strip club they call home, the STARZ series
P-Valley is set in Mississippi amidst glitter and grime. Starring relative newcomers, the drama plays like an unsanitized version of
Hustlers and follows women who make a living on a pole but have rich and complicated lives outside of the neon lights and dollar bills. Created by Katori Hall and based on her play,
P-Valley is already being
hailed by critics as and one of the year's best as a show that sheds light "on a specific slice of the Black experience."
