We have the first official trailer for Dianna’s upcoming film As They Made Us! You can check it out below, along with an article about the film by USA Today. It looks really good, and thankfully we only have to wait another month before we can see it!

I have also updated our gallery with the first official still, promotional photo, film poster and several behind the scenes photos – big thanks to all our incredible followers on twitter who donated pics to us! And thanks once again to our friend Mike for some great enhancing work on several of the pics.

Mayim Bialik had no intention of directing a movie.

The “Big Bang Theory” star and “Jeopardy!” host began writing as a therapeutic exercise after her father, Barry, died in 2015. Seven years later, the result is “As They Made Us” (in theaters and on demand April 8), a mordantly funny family drama starring Dianna Agron (“Shiva Baby”) and two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman. The movie’s trailer is premiering exclusively on usatoday.com.

“I consider the whole thing this wonderful accident,” Bialik says. “There’s a very specific year of mourning that we do in traditional Judaism. After that year, I felt an urge that I’ve never felt before to start putting down in writing a lot of my experiences and memories of grief. And literally, I ended up with a screenplay. I’ve never written one before.”

“As They Made Us” follows the tightly wound Abigail (Agron), a newly divorced mother struggling to raise her two kids while looking after her father, Eugene (Hoffman), who suffers from a degenerative condition that makes it difficult for him to walk and move around. Even as Eugene’s mind and body fail, his wife, Barbara (Candice Bergen), remains firmly in denial, and lashes out at doctors and caregivers.

Bialik’s “Big Bang” co-star Simon Helberg plays Abigail’s estranged brother Nathan, whom she tries to reconnect with before their dad’s death. The film uses flashbacks to show how Eugene and Barbara’s tempestuous marriage, combined with Nathan’s teenage rebellion, led to the family’s present-day dysfunction.

Bialik, 46, shot “As They Made Us” in New Jersey last summer. She caught up with USA TODAY to chat about what inspired the movie, reuniting with Helberg and whether she’ll direct again. (Read the full interview with Mayim here)

What a weekend, Dianna nation! The 2022 Film Independent Spirit Awards were held in Santa Monica this Sunday (March 6, 2022), and it became a very succesful night for Dianna and her Shiva Baby team. The film won the John Cassavetes Award, an award given to the best feature made for under $500,000 (award is given to the writer, director, and producer of the film).

Dianna also presented the award for best editing, which confusingly seemed to be presented during a commercial break along with cinematography and best international film. If you want to read more about the controversial telecast decisions which elicited boos and confusion among the guests, Vanity Fair has a detailed piece over here. There you can also read about the other winners! For the fashion interested, Dianna wore a sparkly chocolate crop top and soaring stilettos, designed by Prada.

It’s a commercial break so everyone got up to mingle… and then, unexpectedly, Dianna Agron came out to present Best Editing during the break. (Very Oscars.) The winner is Joi McMillon for ZOLA (source)

There’s definitely not a lack of content from the night, as we have been blessed with almost 200 HQ photos from the event itself, a gorgeous portrait session and several videos! I have also made screen captures from all clips I could find, and added those to our gallery as well. You can find all the new video clips in our video archive, big thanks to our friend fellintodianna for the one of Dianna presenting (FYI – the red carpet video page contains two separate clips.)

No videos found.

I have sorted the photos into different albums for easier viewing, and you can find all the links below the previews. If you’d rather simply browse all new additions, the event/photoshoot pics starts from this page and the screen captures from here. In total there’s more than 700 new photos and screen caps added, and I hope to have even more in the coming days!

After almost a year, we finally have a new Dianna event! Utopia hosted a private celebration to celebrate Shiva Baby’s Spirit Award nominations last night, and Dianna attended the party with her co-stars. They all looked incredible! Unfortunately we only have 4 high quality photos from the event so far (please let us know if you come across any!), but Julian Ungano has blessed us with several photoshoot-like behind the scenes shots from the day.

I know I promised last year not to make a habit of adding behind-the-scenes pics to our photoshoot section, but these are once again way too stunning not to be added… And thanks to our amazing friend Mike, we also have a colorized version of one of the photos which he kindly edited and shared with us! You can find links to all the beautiful new photos below. Enjoy, Dianna nation!
