Why Do Actors Playing Teenagers Have to Be So Old?

In Scream 7, Asa Germann was twenty-seven when principal photography began in January 2025, Celeste O'Connor was twenty-six. Even Isabel May was around 24. I know it's nothing new (Skeet Ulrich was in his mid-twenties when making the original film) but why though? Why not cast actors who are in their late teens or very early twenties, instead of grown ass adults? Mckenna Grace was 18, but Germann was just fifteen years younger than Anna Camp who played his mother.

Which Actors Do You Think Were Plain Unlucky When It Came to Not Being Nominated for or Winning an Oscar?

I'll start. Kelli McGillis missed out on a nomination for Witness (a film which gave Harrison Ford his only nomination) and a couple of years later lost out again with The Accused, despite Jodie Foster winning best actress (and despite McGillis having top billing). Inbetween, you had Top Gun, which she was probably never going to be nominated for (Cruise wasn't) but which did win best original song and was a huge hit.

Why Do I keep Downloading Unedited Files (Podcast)?

I'm currently doing a podcast for uni bit by bit (rather than doing it all in one go, which my voice couldn't take). Each time I finish recording, I snip some empty seconds at the beginning (or end) and THEN download it on to my computer. However, the pre-edited version keeps downloading instead, even after I delete the pre-edited version before downloading. I think this keeps happening after I've cut out more than one bit. So if cut out bits from the beginning and end, the end bit will still be there (or vice versa). Anybody know how to fix this?
