Doug Jones’ victory during the Alabama Senate elections on Tuesday night caused many of his supporters to immediately celebrate the win on Twitter — including many of those who are Hollywood A-listers.
Jones became the first Democratic senator to represent Alabama in 20 years and also became the first Democrat to succeed in 2017’s Congressional special elections.
His opponent, Republican Roy Moore was embroiled in controversy after multiple women alleged he had pursued them for romantic and sexual relationships when they were only teenagers and he was in his thirties. Moore denied the allegations but lost the support of Senators who endorsed him.

The case: courtroom movies are a crime against cinema. The accused? Matthew McConaughey's latest. Judge John Patterson will see you now
The arrival of handsome-super-lawyer flick The Lincoln Lawyer reminds me of an old bugbear: we need to crack down on courtroom movies and legal thrillers, and especially courtroom-showdown climaxes in otherwise non-legal movies. Getting the law involved just kills a movie stone dead every time.
In that last category alone there are dozens of movies that simply throw in the storytelling towel in the last act and allow their narratives to become enmeshed in the courtroom Sargasso of legal back-and-forth, declamatory utterances by the attorneys and whatever character-acting old geezer is today manning the bench. Films as diverse as Eureka, They Drive By Night and White Squall were all roaring along nicely until they screeched to a halt in courtrooms 20 minutes before their actual running-times expired.
Now, there...
