‘Zero Day’

“Zero Day” stars Robert De Niro as former U.S. President George Mullen, who leads the Zero Day Commission to investigate a devastating cyber attack that unleashes havoc worldwide, killing 3,402 people. When Mullen learns that government insiders may have been behind the attack, he confronts a dangerous truth that complicates his quest for the truth.

The 31st Screen Actors Guild Awards: A Night of Star-Studded Glory
2025 Oscars and SAG Awards: A Star-Studded Weekend on Netflix!
As Oscars 2025 approaches, awards season is in full swing! This weekend, that means it’s time to watch the 31st Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Awards live on Netflix. Kristen Bell will host this year’s SAG Awards, which will honor the best acting achievements in both film and TV shows in 2024.
“Wicked”* has the most nominations in the film category this year, while “Shogun”* leads the way in the TV show category. Both have five nominations, and in my opinion, each of them is likely to win at least one award. While “Wicked”* seems to be the likely winner for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture, “Shogun”* can’t afford to lose any awards this awards season. Tune in this Sunday at 7pm ET for the pre-show and then watch the ceremony begin at 8pm ET!
Watch on Netflix live starting at 7 p.m. ET on Feb. 23

Rosebud has humorously tackled issues like miscarriage, humiliation after childbirth, loss of identity in motherhood, and more in her content. “Rosebud Baker: The Mother Load” is releasing on Netflix this Tuesday.
