The Excellence in Sports Performance Yearly Awards — or, the ESPYs, for short — are set to air Wednesday night. Hosted by Shane Gillis, this will be the 33rd annual ESPY Awards ceremony, airing live out of Los Angeles' Dolby Theatre. With a series of competitive and special awards set to be handed out at the annual sports awards, here's how you can watch the 2025 ESPYs from home. More from TheWrap Where to Watch the ESPYs Live: Is It Streaming?

The ESPYs air Wednesday, July 16, at 8 p.m. ET/PT. The show will be broadcast live from the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. Where can I watch the ESPYs live? There are two places you can go to watch the EPSYs live on Wednesday night. If you are watching the show on TV or cable, you can view it live on ABC starting at 8 p.m. ET/PT.

Stand-up comic Shane Gillis will host the 33rd ESPYs for ESPN. Gillis recently hosted 'Saturday Night Live' for a second time back in March — a show he was briefly hired onto and fired from before his first season due to a history of insensitive jokes. In June, the actor released the second season of his Netflix comedy 'Tires,' which has already been renewed for a third. Though the ceremony has been hosted by actors and comedians many times before, Gillis is a departure from last year's host, athletic megastar Serena Williams.

Are there any special awards? There are four individuals who will be recognized with special awards at the 2025 ESPYs Wednesday night. Oscar Robertson, a former NBA player for the Cincinnati Royals and Milwaukee Bucks, will receive the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage at the annual ceremony. This award is presented to the former player for his fight to establish free agency within the league. Katie Schumacher-Cawley, current head coach of Penn State's women's volleyball team, will be honored with the Jimmy V Award for Perseverance. This comes after Schumacher-Cawley led her team to become an NCAA Women's Volleyball Championship-winning group in 2024. Schumacher-Cawley, who became the first female coach to achieve this victory, was battling breast cancer at the time of the season. Both David Walters and Erin Regan will receive the Pat Tillman Award for Service at the 2025 ESPYs. The two former athletes (Walters an Olympic medalist in swimming and Regan a goalkeeper for the Wake Forest University women's soccer team in the late 90s and early 2000s) both serve in the Los Angeles County Fire Department. They were both on the front lines as part of the relief effort for the 2025 Southern California wildfires. Who is performing? There will be a few musical performances at the 2025 ESPYs. Busta Rhymes, Clipse and GELO will all perform throughout the ceremony. Additionally, artist Tobe Nwigwe will lead the In Memoriam segment, featuring a performance from David Michael Wyatt.

Woman Refuses to Name Baby After Late Father-in-Law After Husband Suggests His Ex's Name
NEED TO KNOW One woman says her husband has offered a couple of options for names for their baby: one, after his ex, and another, after his late father In a post shared to Reddit, she writes: "I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past" Now, she's taking to the internet to seek adviceA woman who is currently pregnant says her husband wants to name the child after his recently passed father — but she isn't interested. In a post published on Reddit, the woman writes that her husband's father passed away while she was pregnant — and he immediately added his name to the list of those they should consider for their child. "Before I knew the gender of our baby, he suggested that if it's a girl.... Baby should be named 'Ashley.' And I'm not too fond of commonly used names so it never sat right with me anyway, but turns out his ex's name was Ashley," she writes. "Turns out I'm having a baby boy and now all of my in-laws are depending on me to name my baby after my husband's recently deceased father (it's been like a month)," she continues. "Putting all emotions to the side.... I'm not too enthusiastic about naming my baby after my father-in-law after figuring out that my husband is still thinking about his past." "I kinda feel like I'm being selfish as well as he is being selfish..... But I feel extremely disrespected that he was going to dishonor our family by naming my baby after some random girl.

Writes one commenter: "No one would enjoy being strong-armed into a pick with no concern to their feelings. And if it was a name of an ex? Yeah... that's a huge disrespect." "I'd actually tell him he lost his naming [privileges] when he honest to God believed he could get away with naming a child after his ex. Talk about poor [judgment] and neanderthal thought process," added another. Read the original article on People Solve the daily Crossword

‘Riefenstahl' Trailer: Disturbing Documentary Portrait of Hitler's Favorite Filmmaker Resonates in the Present Moment
Her films were taught for decades in U.S. film schools for their pictographic excellence, her images bold and dramatic. The context in which they were made, however, was so difficult to justify that she became the furthest limit of the 'let's separate the art from the artist' ethos. Now, documentarian Andres Veiel has delivered a riveting cinematic portrait that looks deep into the meaning of Leni Riefenstahl, and how her work still uncomfortably echoes today. IndieWire exclusively debuts the trailer for 'Riefenstahl' below. The film will be released by Kino Lorber in New York on September 5 and in Los Angeles on September 12, with a national rollout to follow. More from IndieWire 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Review: Fisherman Slasher Hooks a Salty and Satisfying Legacy Sequel 'Smurfs' Review: The Unkillable Blue Menaces Are More Insufferable Than Ever Riefenstahl's 'Triumph of the Will' was a film school staple for much of the mid 20th century — it's how USC grad George Lucas came to pay homage to it with the mass gathering at the end of the original 'Star Wars.' And yet the 1935 film was based entirely around a stylized presentation of the previous year's Nazi Party Congress in Nuremberg, with 700,000 Nazis arranged in geometrically precise rows, all fanatically devoted as Adolf Hitler speaks at length. She treats the human form like architecture. Those overhead shots of the Nazis arrayed like a Mondrian painting. Her follow-up, a film that has an enduring impact easier to justify, her portrait of the 1936 Berlin Olympics, 'Olympia,' introduced tropes and techniques that have stuck with sports broadcasting to this day. Riefenstahl's reputation endured in part because she doggedly claimed she was just a fellow traveler of the Nazis, not a true believer. That she had never even read 'Mein Kampf.' That she was simply carried along by history like millions of fellow Germans. But Veiel makes a compelling case in 'Riefenstahl' that the director was, in fact, a fanatical Nazi, and until the end of her long life in 2003. She died at the age of 101. He finds proof that she had read 'Mein Kampf' and that she still courted the interest and regard of other unrepentant Nazis after the war. He even suggests that Riefenstahl may have been aware of the Nazis' atrocities, something she always insisted she was completely unaware of: He details how she accompanied the Wehrmacht in their invasion of Poland and possibly witnessed a massacre. The documentary also makes some compelling connections to the present moment. Riefenstahl was obsessed with surfaces, with beauty alone. Isn't her work similar to the Instagram ethos of pictographic attractiveness presented as an end unto itself without regard for context or deeper meaning? Perhaps a surface-level view of Riefenstahl's work is the only way to appreciate it. Unless a focus on surfaces alone is exactly what Fascism demands?
