The first-ever TikTok Awards are almost here. They're set to air this Thursday, Dec. 18.

So...what are the TikTok Awards? Well, they're kind of exactly what they sound like — an event to honor TikTok and its creators.

Mashable's Crystal Bell has all the details, but, as she wrote, you can expect "the chaos and creativity of TikTok brought to life in physical space" with "creator-led segments, live performances, and moments designed to be experienced and immediately shared, clipped, and stitched."

Mashable is covering the awards live, both on the red carpet and inside the venue. We've already seen some cool outfits, big stars, and fun moments. But if you want to watch from home, it's simple enough.

How to watch the 2025 TikTok Awards

As you might've expected, you can watch the TikTok Awards on TikTok itself. Fire up the TikTok app, go to @TikTok, and you should see it streaming on the company's livestream.

You can also stream the TikTok awards via Tubi, for free. The red carpet livestream kicks off at 5 p.m. PT (that's 8 p.m. ET) while the event itself starts at 6 p.m. PT.

We've got the full list of nominees here at Mashable, but the marquee award of the night is Creator of the Year. My money is on Keith Lee — but we'll have to tune in to find out.

It's been a dozen years since Now You See Me hit theaters and nearly a decade since the sequel. In other words, with the release of the third film, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, it's a good time to revisit the originals and queue up a marathon. Or, maybe even watch them all for the first time.

The films feature a star-studded cast including Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, and Dave Franco as the Four Horsemen, Morgan Freeman as master magician Thaddeus Bradley, Mark Ruffalo as FBI agent Dylan Rhodes, and more. The whole gang returns in Now You See Me 3, plus some newbies join the mix. So it's essential to get caught up with the characters and lore of the films before diving into the newest film.

Here's everything you need to know about how to watch Now You See Me, Now You See Me 2, and Now You See Me: Now You Don't.

How many Now You See Me movies are there?

The fall release of Now You See Me: Now You Don't marks the third film in the Four Horsemen trilogy. The first film, Now You See Me, arrived in 2013 as a surprise hit. It grossed over $350 million at the worldwide box office. The sequel, Now You See Me 2, hit theaters in 2016 and brought in over $334 million.

When does Now You See Me: Now You Don't come out?

The third film in the Now You See Me franchise arrived in theaters on Nov. 14, 2025. That's nearly 12.5 years to the day since the original film made its mark at the box office. In a time when cinema is struggling, Now You See Me: Now You Don't has still been largely successful at the box office. It didn't quite live up to its predecessors, but still raked in $213.6 million worldwide so far on a $90 million budget. It's still in select theaters and is now officially available to watch at home as of Dec. 16, 2025 (more on that below).

Are the Now You See Me movies streaming anywhere?

Both Now You See Me and Now You See Me 2 were streaming on Netflix this fall, but left the streamer as of Sept. 30. At the time of writing, none of the major streaming services have the films in their libraries — a huge bummer. However, we did spot both the first two films on MovieSphere+, a Prime Video add-on service that costs $4.99 per month. You'll also get a free seven-day trial, which means you can watch both movies for free. The only catch? You must be a Prime Video subscriber or Prime member to get the add-on.

As for the third installment, Now You See Me: Now You Don't, we're still waiting on an announcement for its official streaming date. As a Lionsgate film, we expect that it will make its streaming debut on Starz. Based on the streaming trajectory of previous Lionsgate films, we expect a March 2026 streaming date. We'll update this if and when Lionsgate announces new streaming information.

It's worth mentioning that Starz is running a holiday deal where you can get an entire year of streaming for just $11.99. If you secure that deal now, you'll have access to Now You See Me: Now You Don't when it arrives on Starz, as well as future theatrical releases like The Housemaid and The Long Walk. Once the promotion ends, the price will jump back to $69.99 per year unless you cancel. There's no end date listed, but since it's branded as a holiday deal, we expect it to disappear in early 2026.

Former President Barack Obama dropped his annual Best Of list for 2025 — his top movies, music, and books — and the internet, of course, was ready to react.

In case you missed it, Obama posted the year-end list to social media.

This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed.

Personally, I appreciate the inclusion of Jay Som, Laufey, and Jason Isbell — but "Ordinary"...come on. Anyway, the internet, of course, was quick to respond to all of Obama's choices.

Including Drake and Kendrick is very funny.

ChatGPT has launched its app directory — meaning you can now connect to some of your favorite services without leaving the OpenAI platform.

The idea is that moving forward, the chatbot can suggest apps or you can easily access them (using the @ command) during a conversation. For instance, if you connect Adobe Photoshop to your account, you will then be able to utilize Photoshop tools when making image requests. In our testing, this works even if you don't have an existing Photoshop account.

"Apps extend ChatGPT conversations by bringing in new context and letting users take actions like order groceries, turn an outline into a slide deck, or search for an apartment," wrote OpenAI in an announcement for the app directory.

In addition, app developers will be able to create experiences within ChatGPT.

"Developers can use the Apps SDK — now in beta — to build chat-native experiences that bring context and action directly into ChatGPT," OpenAI explained.

While some commentators have referred to the new Apps beta as a ChatGPT app store, at this time, it's more of an app directory. However, in the "Looking Ahead" section of its announcement post, OpenAI does note that this tool could eventually "expand the ways developers can reach users and monetize their work."

Apps will, of course, be added over time. But here's a look at some of the apps you can now access right in ChatGPT. You can also check out the directory at chatgpt.com/apps.

1. Spotify

The idea is that you can talk with ChatGPT and it'll use Spotify to fire up the correct music for your long run, dinner party, or whatever the mood might be.

2. Apple Music

Well...the idea is pretty much the same as Spotify.

3. DoorDash

Say you're using ChatGPT to discover recipes, the thought is that DoorDash can then have the exact ingredients delivered.

4. Instacart

So...pretty much what we said about DoorDash.

5. Tripadvisor

If you're using ChatGPT to help plan a vacation or travel, then you can book through TripAdvisor right on the OpenAI platform.

6. Expedia

So, again...see Tripadvisor above. Oh, and the Booking.com app is available, too.

7. Target

This might prove dangerous for the impulse buyers out there, but Target is integrated into ChatGPT. So if, say, ChatGPT recommends a product, you can then buy it via Target.

8. Zillow

Finding the right place to live isn't easy. If you use ChatGPT for help, then you can use the Zillow app right on the platform to schedule tours, see photos, and more.

It appears that more and more major apps will be integrated into ChatGPT moving forward. It'll be interesting to see how the integration experience goes for users — and if it becomes a part of their daily life.

To see the full list of apps included in the new ChatGPT Apps beta, head to the ChatGPT app directory.

Meta AI glasses are getting a software update designed to help wearers hear the person they're talking to in noisy environments.

The "conversation focus" feature, which Meta announced on Wednesday, amplifies the sound of another person's voice when there's competing noises, such as chatter in a restaurant or the auditory chaos of a public transit commute.

The amplified voice will be slightly louder, and wearers can adjust the level through the glasses' device settings or by swiping the right temple of the glasses.

The software update is first available to those enrolled in the product's Early Access Program in the United States and Canada.

Last year, Meta partnered with the accessibility service provider Be My Eyes to give glasses wearers who are blind or low vision access to live support.
