Maggie Lovitt

Maggie Lovitt is the Lead News Editor at Collider and a lover of all things related to pop culture. In addition to reporting on the latest entertainment news, she is also an actor and member of the Screen Actors Guild based out of the Mid-Atlantic Region.

She is a board member of the Hollywood Critics Association, in addition to being a Rotten Tomatoes-approved critic and a member of The Cherry Picks. She has a special taste for horror films that make you think, rom-coms that dole out a healthy dose of Fremdschämen, high-flying action flicks that deliver hits, and has an enemies-to-lovers relationship with superhero movies.

In 2020, she co-founded the podcast "Petticoats & Poppies: History Girls at the Movies" with her longtime friend, and North Carolina-based film critic, Nicole Ackman. The following year, she launched "Starbucks Lovers: A Taylor Swift Podcast" which allows her to geek out about her love for Taylor Swift and music. She also runs her own site Millennial Falcon Reviews.

While she spends her time writing and editing articles about the entertainment industry, Maggie's background is in history and anthropology. She earned her Bachelor's in Historic Preservation from the University of Mary Washington, where she focused on Colonial American history, British literature, and historic architecture. She recently earned her Master's in Engaged Anthropology at the University of Wales, Trinity Saint David, where she focused her studies on dark tourism, magic, and the politics of food.

Her feature-length screenplay 'I Will Always Love You,' has garnered three accolades, in addition to her two pilots 'Like Hell' and 'Something Old, Something New' which have earned two accolades each, and a short film, 'In The Silence,' which has earned five awards.
