For the first time since the show's 2011 debut, HBO will not be sending episodes of "Game of Thrones" out to critics and reporters ahead of the coming sixth season.
	"Game of Thrones" returns on April 24.
	HBO programming president Michael Lombardo confirmed the decision in an interview with Entertainment Weekly.
	"We're not sending out press copies this year, anywhere in the world," he said.
	The move comes after the first four episodes of season five leaked early online last year.
	It was a crucial batch of episodes filled with twists and turns, like the death of fan-favorite hero Barristan Selmy, a character still alive in the "A Song of Ice and Fire" books on which Thrones is based.
	HBO subsequently abandoned sending out physical DVDs and switched to a password-protected digital screening site in which users must go through an extensive credentialing process before they are approved.

Actress Naomie Harris wishes critics would give Daniel Craig more credit for "reinventing" the role of James Bond.
	The British beauty has starred alongside the 47-year-old in two 007 movies, including last year's "Spectre", reported Contactmusic.
	While it's believed the movie will be Daniel's last outing as the superspy, Harris, 39, thinks it's disrespectful to be discussing his successor before a final decision has been made.
	"I feel it's premature, because I feel as though Daniel doesn't get the sort of respect and admiration he deserves," she said.
	"He completely reinvented that role of Bond, and he has made it the most successful Bond of all time. People are turning out in droves to see him as Bond. So I think we should celebrate the fact that we have an amazing Bond and no one knows whether Daniel's going to come back or not.

	"There are so few opportunities for women of colour that they barely register in the research (into the numbers of women in film and TV). We are doing a bad job with women and a horrible job with women of colour," she said.
	"There are female actors nominated for the Oscars because we divide by gender - if it were one category for best performance, we would have a really hard time. But the Oscars are emblematic of a deep-seated problem - really, it's about the product being put out by Hollywood. Most profoundly, it's what is made that needs to change.
