Was the best actor of last year Anthony Hopkins? Daniel Day-Lewis? Tom Hanks? Not according to the New York Film Critics, who gave the honor to David Thewlis for his role as a London drifter in Mike Leigh’s “Naked.” We can’t argue. As the charming, sadistic Johnny, Thewlis, 31, created an unforgettable antihero self-destructive and savagely eloquent. The verbal brilliance is very much his own, for Thewlis imprevised his dialogue....

Liverpool still in for Salah Croatia international Perisic has been heavily linked with a move to Manchester United while Icardi’s prolific performances have been tempered by a fractious relationship with the Inter ultras, amid suggestions the burden of captaincy is too much for the 24-year-old.

In 10 games this season, the sixth-overall pick from the 2015 NHL Entry Draft had not registered a point with just 10 shots on goal. While Zacha played well in the Devils’ first two games as the second-line center, he struggled to make an impression. This year’s performance is a far cry from his productivity the past two seasons. Zacha posted 24 points in 70 games during his first full season in 2016-17 and followed it up with 25 points in 69 games last season....

Most of that is because I have felt — for a considerably long time — that these hires were inevitable. But, there’s also part of me that wants to avoid beating a dead horse. If the anti-stat people couldn’t feel which way the tropical storm winds were blowing a few years ago, there’s no way they don’t feel the way these Category 5’s are ripping through now. However, Eric Tulsky said something over the weekend on Twitter that I couldn’t agree with more....

The 30 percent voter turnout was roughly half the total seen in the city’s 2016 elections. Activists said this is a product of Beijing’s national security laws and electoral changes that have pushed the “special administrative region” away from its representational form of government and closer to the authoritative governance system employed throughout the mainland. Upon Hong Kong being transferred from British colonial rule in 1997 to the Chinese government, the area was given its “special administrative” status that allowed it to maintain the Western aspects of its electoral and economic systems....

WHAT’S NEW The New York Mets have won 74 games in each of the last two seasons. Don’t bank on that changing much this season as New York enters 2014 with a look very similar to the end of 2013. The Mets did add a pair of outfielders to their offense. They brought over Curtis Granderson from their cross-town rivals, hoping Granderson adds the 40-homer power he showed from 2011-12 rather than his injury-plagued form of '13....
