Game of Thrones season 8 premiere: what time and how to stream - Polygon

Winter is coming for Game of Thrones fans. The eighth and final season of HBO’s hit show, based on George R. R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire series, will premiere at 9 p.m. on Sunday, April 14. HBO confirmed that season eight will be the shortest season yet, with six episodes clocking in between 50 and 82 minutes, but judging by the official trailer there will be plenty of drama, death, and dragons packed into those 432 minutes.

Of course, an HBO account is required to watch the final Game of Thrones episodes (and to catch up on the last seven seasons). But in the age of streaming, there are plenty of options. Gone are the days when you had to call your cable company to add an HBO package. Many streaming services offer premium add-ons, while HBO itself offers a streaming-only service. Below, we break down how to stream Game of Thrones on each streaming platform.

Direct from HBO

There are two options to stream directly from HBO itself — the version you can use depends on if you subscribe to HBO through a traditional cable package or as a standalone service.

HBO Go

Those who subscribe to HBO through a cable or satellite package can stream Game of Thrones live or on demand via the HBO Go service. The HBO Go app is available on most phones, tablets, smart TVs, and gaming consoles. Check if your device is supported at HBO’s Help Center.

HBO Now

Cord cutters can still watch HBO on the network’s own platform. HBO Now is a standalone service, so it doesn’t require a cable subscription or another streaming platform; you stream directly from the HBO Now website or app. A one-week free trial is available — after that it’s $14.99 per month.

On streaming platforms

Many streaming services allow users to add HBO to your subscription for an extra monthly fee, with the exception of DirecTV which includes HBO. Subscribing through a digital streaming service also includes access to HBO Now.

Amazon Channels

In addition to the TV shows and movies available free to Prime members, Amazon offers add-on premium subscriptions through the Amazon Channels program. The HBO add-on costs $14.99 per month (the same as HBO Now). Most devices allow live streaming from the Amazon Prime Video app, but check Amazon’s official list if you’re worried about it.

Hulu

Hulu also offers an HBO add-on for $14.99, which allows live HBO streaming whether or not you subscribe to Hulu’s live TV subscription tier. It’s important to note that the Hulu app for PlayStation 4 doesn’t allow any live streaming. PS4-based Hulu users aren’t out of luck though. As noted above, subscribing via Hulu also grants access to HBO Now, so you can stream live through the PlayStation HBO Now app.

PlayStation Vue

Sony’s own TV subscription service, PlayStation Vue, is another option. HBO is available as an add-on to a multichannel package or as a standalone subscription. It costs $14.99 per month either way. The PlayStation Vue Ultra package, which costs $79.99 per month, includes HBO and Showtime.

DirecTV Now

AT&T’s streaming service is the only subscription that includes HBO at its base level, though at $50 per month it’s the most expensive plan on the market. Because DirecTV Now operates more like a traditional cable package, subscribers have access to HBO Go, rather than HBO Now.

Iron Man: This Is How Much Money Robert Downey Jr. Made From Playing the Superhero - The Cheat Sheet

Robert Downey Jr. really made it big when he landed the role of Iron Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). He’s been playing the CEO of Stark Industries since he starred in Iron Man, the very first film to roll out. After over a decade of bringing Tony Stark to life, Downey Jr. is bidding the role adieu.

Fans may be devastated at him leaving Marvel behind, but the Oscar-nominated actor has done more than his fair share of appearances, and has made insane amounts of money to boot! Perhaps reminiscing about the steady hefty paychecks and the allure of playing the magnate can reel him back in. That is of course if Avengers: Endgame even leaves the leeway for such a move!

It all started with ‘Iron Man’

Iron Man debuted back in 2008 with Downey Jr. nailing the titular role. Since it was the first movie, the beloved actor didn’t make much for the part. Word on the grapevine is that he pulled in $500,000. Sure, half a million dollars may seem like a lot, but it’s a drop in a bucket when you start looking at the paydays he had in the later films.

Why do people speculate the NYC-born actor made so little? Despite Downey Jr. growing into the role and becoming an iconic casting choice, he was not the director’s ideal pick. Considering his sordid past filled to the brim with rehab visits and drug charges, Marvel took on a significant risk casting him. Thankfully it was more than worth the risk!

Note: That’s probably not all Downey Jr. took home for Iron Man. Stars often cut deals with the big wigs to get a percentage of a film’s profits. Given the average rates released by Money Nation, it’s estimated that his full payout was closer to an impressive $2 million.

Robert Downey Jr. got a raise with ‘Iron Man 2’

The sequel, Iron Man 2, dropped just two years after the original film. Considering the success of its predecessor, it’s no surprise Downey Jr. walked away with a pay raise. It’s speculated that he made $10 million for the highly anticipated film. Add in the potential 2.5% from the film’s profits and you end up with a number that decimates his first MCU paycheck: $13 million.

Ten million became the actor’s magic number. Unverified sources have said this was his base pay for several more Marvel films: phase one’s The Avengers and Iron Man 3, and phase two’s Avengers: Age of Ultron. If you tack on the additional 2.5%, that puts his estimated earnings at $39 million, $32 million, and $35 million respectively.

‘Captain America: Civil War produced Robert Downey Jr.’s biggest payday

Civil War wasn’t written into his contract like the other films were. Initially, he was meant to have a smaller part. After some insane rewrites, Tony Stark became a crucial player in the movie. The controversial actor had to do some pushing to grow his bit part into a central role — a move that wasn’t appreciated at first. Thankfully Kevin Feige was all about the fantastic deal resulting in a $40 million salary. He also got a bonus of $5 million for taking out Winter Soldier.

Add in the 2.5%, and that makes Downey Jr.’s biggest Marvel payday of $63.75 million. That’s a pretty crazy amount for just a single part and is light-years ahead of anything he’s made in the MCU both past and present!

How much did Robert Downey Jr. make off Marvel?

Before you can do the math, there are a few more films to take into account! The 54-year-old superstar made an estimated $15 million for his appearance in Spiderman: Homecoming, roughly $20.25 million for Avengers: Infinity War, and will make about the same for Avengers: Endgame.

If all of these estimates are in the ballpark that puts the wildly successful actor’s income at over $200 million from the comic giant. Since he was the man who started it all, it’s safe to say he is without a doubt the highest-earning actor on their roster!

'Billiechella': Eilish stuns with career-making Coachella Saturday set - Yahoo Entertainment

INDIO, CA – APRIL 13: Billie Eilish performs at Outdoor Theatre during the 2019 Coachella Valley Music And Arts Festival on April 13, 2019 in Indio, California. (Photo: Rich Fury/Getty Images for Coachella)

Perhaps no Coachella performance will ever top Beyoncé’s from 2018. But the Saturday set by horror-pop wunderkind Billie Eilish came closer to feeling like a “Beychella”-level event — something culture-shifting, Zeitgeist-capturing, and just plain important — than anything else at the festival this weekend.

Call it “Billiechella,” if you will.

IM SO F*CKING PROUD OF YOU @billieeilish OMG🖤🖤🖤🖤 COACHELLA IS NOW BILLIECHELLA!#coachella #coachella2019 #BillieEilish #BillieChella pic.twitter.com/TOvHykGYrD

Although Eilish was only playing the second stage, she attracted so many thousands of fans — including celebrities like Kylie Jenner, Travis Scott, members of 5 Seconds of Summer, and, in a bit of a game-recognizing-game moment, Lady Gaga — that she could have easily headlined the entire evening.

“I don’t deserve this at all,” the 17-year-old insisted modestly, staring out in amazement at the densely packed field and repeatedly exclaiming, “This s** is crazy!” However, this felt like a bit of a humblebrag — not just because of the unflappable bratty swagger Eilish exhibited throughout her show, but because the indie-electronic chanteuse has actually been working towards this goal since she released her first bedroom music recording four years ago. “I used to sit in my room and cry because I wanted this s*** so bad,” she sweetly confessed towards the end of her triumphant set.

Eilish went on 33 minutes late due to technical difficulties (at one point, the crowd chanted, “F*** that screen!” as stagehands tinkered frantically with her audiovisual displays), and there were a couple other hiccups — a giggly lyrical flub during the live debut of “All the Good Girls Go to Hell,” a microphone snafu during unintentionally silenced guest rapper Vince Staples’s verse on “&Burn.” But this was an otherwise flawless performance, well worth the extra half-hour wait — and the fact that the audience stuck around when there were plenty of tempting options on neighboring stages (Weezer, Aphex Twin, Wiz Khalifa, even a Yuma Tent DJ set by actor Idris Elba) spoke volumes about the anticipation and excitement surrounding Eilish’s appearance.

And any tardiness was immediately forgiven when Eilish bounded out in blue Björk buns and her signature XXL streetwear, moodily whisper-singing “Bad Guy” and “My Strange Addiction.” This was the first time both new tracks had ever been performed live, but the young, adoring, largely female audience of course knew and sang along to every word. Highlights of Eilish’s 13-song tour de force ranged from thrillingly over-the top (Eilish intoning “Bury a Friend” while striking an Exorcist pose on an iron bed suspended on chains in mid-air) to the stark but effective (a stool-seated “When the Party’s Over” against a backdrop of that song’s freaky, inky-crying music video; the hushed ballad that started it all, “Ocean Eyes”).

Eilish’s critically acclaimed first full-length album, WHEN WE SLEEP, WHERE DO WE GO?, just went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and smashed chart records as the biggest debut of the decade for any new artist. And backstage at Coachella before her concert, she celebrated another milestone in the YouTube Artist Lounge, as she was presented with an award (and a Louis Vuitton-patterned cake) for hitting 10 million YouTube subscribers.

Warming up the Outdoor Stage for Eilish was gender-bending French art-pop provocateur Héloïse Letissier, a.k.a. Chris of Christine and the Queens. This magical performance was pure theater, reminiscent of an Emmy-winning Mia Michaels/Travis Wall routine from So You Think You Can Dance or David Byrne’s jaw-dropping performance on the same stage last year — and it was “weird and glorious and scary,” just like the self-described Chris herself. Chris joked that the last time she played Coachella, in 2016, she said she was “tiny, French, and angry — I’m still tiny, I’m still French, but I’m just horny now.” Chris’s daring performance in this “safe space” was indeed aggressively sexy (“I’d rather be the one desiring than waiting to be desired. … I’m grabbing it,” she explained), but it also featured a simple, near-a cappella cover of David Bowie’s “Heroes.”

While Eilish and Chris may be the future faces of pop, Saturday’s lineup was otherwise the only day of the weekend that bore any resemblance to the alternative-rock Coachellas of years past. Australian psych-rockers Tame Impala, who’d previously performed in 2013 and 2015, headlined the main stage amid a Sabbathy swirl of lysergic lighting effects.

Indie darlings like Ty Segall, Mac DeMarco, and attitudinal South London punks Shame performed, the latter inciting an old-school moshpit as rabblerousing, shirtless frontman Charlie Steen crowd-surfed.

Weezer, who played the second annual Coachella way back in 2001, showed up with special guests Tears for Fears and Chilli from TLC for the Teal Album covers “Everybody Wants to Rule the World” and “No Scrubs.”

Canadian electronic duo Bob Moses paid tribute to 2002/2005 Coachella act the Prodigy’s late frontman, Keith Flint, with a faithful cover of “Breathe.” And rising R&B star Bazzi unexpectedly sang MGMT’s “Electric Feel” — referring to it as a “Coachella classic,” which surely must have made anyone who actually saw MGMT do that song at Coachella 2008 feel mighty old.

Coachella 2019 promises to offer a different sort of nostalgia on Sunday, as headliner Ariana Grande is rumored to be performing with members of *NSYNC.

BTS performed on 'SNL' and fans went crazy - CNN

Sure, "Saturday Night Live" was hosted by Emma Stone and took jabs at Michael Avenatti, Lori Loughlin, Julian Assange and "The View" -- but the spotlight belonged to the seven members of the boy band sensation.

BTS became the first Korean pop, or K-pop, group to perform on SNL. Korean pop music has been steadily growing in popularity. But BTS has elevated the genre into an international movement.

The group's new album, "Map of the Soul: Persona," is expected to smash sales charts.

The group's high-energy dance moves and pitch-perfect vocals as they performed "Boy With Luv" and "Mic Drop," drew screams and applause from the "SNL" audience and lit up social media.

Their fans, collectively known as ARMY, were in full force on Twitter and Instagram during the band's two performances.

"My daughter is making really weird mouth noises watching #BTSxSNL and just had to take her hoodie off because she's sweating. It's a #BTSARMY thing for those not aware," said radio host JJ Ryan.

"Slay!!! Their voices were perfection... They adapted their dancing to that tiny stage. And they were backed by what looked like a Korean band. I feel like a proud auntie. I...even put my cake down for this performance," said Jae-Ha Kim, a journalist for the Los Angeles Times.

"Live band. Killer vocals. Moves for days. Crushed it! That's how you say 'what's up America? #BTSxSNL'" said writer Colleen Nika.

"I screamed in my living room. Not even gonna lie. #BTSxSNL" said actress Angie Grace.

The band's performance also sparked a conversation about the historic and cultural impact.

"I've been watching SNL since the late '70s til I stopped watching in the 90s. Never seeing an Asian face on their staff always stung. But tonight I just saw 7 Korean faces gracing that damn stage and it was the best part of that show so I AM OVER IT. #BTSxSNL," said actor Paul Bae.
