Joe Biden's celeb-packed State of the Union address preview was a stroke of genius -- this according to political heavy-hitters, Lis Smith and April Ryan.

We spoke to both on 'TMZ Live,' Thursday ... with Lis telling us that whoever in Biden's camp came up with that idea deserves a serious raise, 'cause these speeches can be a major snooze-fest ... so making politics cool for those who might not care is a big deal!

Lis goes on to say that if more folks in politics injected a little fun and humor into the mix, maybe we wouldn't be so stressed out all the time.

She's also saying the positives of that clip and Biden's approach totally outweigh any negatives ... adding that people throwing shade at it were probably never gonna vote for JB in the first place.

April -- the White House Correspondent for TheGrio -- also backs Lis' sentiments ...  saying Joe's team dropped that video to connect with everyone and show he's in touch with people's everyday struggles despite sitting in one of the most important buildings in the world.

She also tells us it's a smart move on his part 'cause becoming the U.S. President ain't just about domestic policy issues ... it's about playing on the global stage, too.

By putting out that video of him hilariously seeking advice from former President actors Morgan Freeman, Bill Pullman, Geena Davis, Michael Douglas, and Tony Goldwyn ahead of his super serious speech ... he's painting a winning picture and showing confidence, rather than highlighting setbacks.

Of course, Joe's definitely had his fair share of criticism during his presidency -- especially when it comes to concerns about his age.

Lupita Nyong'o y Joshua Jackson siguen yendo muy en serio, lo que es evidente por las nuevas fotos de su reciente viaje a México, donde se ven súper cariñosos y cercanos.

La pareja de actores no pudo quitarse las manos de encima en Puerto Vallarta la semana pasada. Ciertamente, parecían enamorados y por una buena razón: son súper atractivos. Lupita en particular, que está celebrando sus 41 años, se ve increíble.

Ella se ve muy contenta con el viaje y con Joshua a quien le planta un buen beso.

Josh no se opuso a su cariño, envolvió sus brazos alrededor de Lupita e incluso apoyó sus manos en su trasero en un momento. Sí, un montón de demostración afectiva en público.

Dejen que estos dos calientes las cosas en México, que ya es bastante calentito.

Lupita y Joshua han sido prácticamente inseparables desde que fueron vistos juntos por primera vez en octubre en un concierto en Los Ángeles. La ganadora del Oscar aún no había anunciado su ruptura con Selema Masekela y la salida con Joshua sin duda echó andar las especulaciones. Ahora, sabemos que están juntos.

En su momento, la actriz de Marvel confirmó que ya no estaba con Selema y procedió a pasear por todo el estado de California con su nuevo novio. Desde entonces, han sido vistos juntos por todas partes y no están intentando ocultar más su amor.

Joshua también se convirtió en un hombe soltero recientemente. Recordemos que su distanciada esposa, la actriz Jodie Turner-Smith, solicitó el divorcio tras 4 años de matrimonio. Tienen una hija en común.

Josh ha seguido adelante con su vida y Lupita también, obviamente.

Steve Lawrence, la mitad del icónico dúo musical Steve and Eydie, que solía ser telonero de Frank Sinatra y aparecer en un montón de programas de variedades, ha muerto.

Steve falleció el jueves como consecuencia de complicaciones derivadas del Alzheimer, según informó su hijo, David. David hizo pública una declaración tras la muerte de su padre que dice: "Mi padre fue una inspiración para mucha gente. Pero, para mí, solo era un tipo encantador, guapo e histéricamente divertido, que cantaba mucho. A veces solo y a veces con su increíblemente talentosa esposa".

Y añadió: "Tengo mucha suerte de haberlo tenido como padre y estoy muy orgulloso de ser su hijo. Mi esperanza es que sus contribuciones a la industria del entretenimiento sean recordadas por muchos años".

Con su esposa Eydie Gorme, Steve formó parte de uno de los dúos de cantantes más queridos del país en su momento. Steve and Eydie comenzaron en la década de 1950 y actuaron juntos hasta 2009, cuando ella se retiró.

Steve and Eydie cantaron en muchos programas de variedades y late-night shows, como "The Judy Garland Show", "The Julie Andrews Hour", "Night Gallery", "The Danny Kaye Show", "The Tonight Show" y muchos otros.

Él y su esposa también actuaron en clubes nocturnos de Las Vegas y, en la década de 1980, en el Carnegie Hall. Steve fue incluso telonero de Ol' Blue Eyes durante su gira "Diamond Jubilee", así que sí, en aquellos tiempos solía tocar con los mejores.

La canción más exitosa de Steve durante su carrera en solitario fue su sencillo de 1962 "Go Away, Little Girl", que alcanzó el número 1 en las listas de éxitos.

Como actor, obtuvo una nominación al Tony por su trabajo en el musical de Broadway "What Makes Sammy Run?". También protagonizó junto a Eydie el musical "Golden Rainbow".

Steve ganó un Primetime Emmy por un especial de televisión que celebraba a Irving Berlin y tenía un montón de otros créditos de televisión, en programas como "La niñera" y "Hot in Cleveland".

Lawrence tenía 88 años.

Lupita Nyong'o and Joshua Jackson are still going strong ... evident in new PDA-filled photos from their recent trip to Mexico, where they're looking really hot and heavy.

The actor couple couldn't keep their hands off each other down in Puerto Vallarta last week. They certainly look smitten, and for good reason ... these two are an absolute smoke show. Lupita in particular -- who just turned 41, and who's celebrating her bday -- looks amazing.

She seems grateful for the trip -- planting a kiss on Joshua while standing on a lounge chair.

Josh wasn't opposed to the affection -- he wrapped his arms around LN ... even resting his hands on her behind at one point. Yeah, we're looking at a lot of PDA here ... no doubt.

Leave it to these two to make things even hotter in Mexico ... which is already toasty as is.

LN and JJ have been practically inseparable since first being spotted together in October at a concert in Los Angeles. Since the Oscar winner hadn't announced her split from longtime love Selema Masekela ... the outing certainly got tongues waggin'. Now, we know they're an item.

Eventually, the Marvel actress confirmed that she was no longer with Selema -- and proceeded to run errands all over the state of California with her new boo. Since then, they've been seen all over the place ... and they're not trying to hide their love anymore.

Joshua also recently became single.  Remember, his estranged wife, actress Jodie Turner-Smith, filed for divorce after 4 years of marriage. They share one child together, a daughter.

Josh has bounced back and then some ... and ditto for Lupita, obviously.

Steve Lawrence -- one half of the iconic music duo Steve and Eydie, who used to open for Frank Sinatra and be featured on tons of variety shows -- has died

Steve passed away Thursday as a result of complications from Alzheimer's disease ... this according to his son, David. He released a statement in the aftermath of his father's death -- saying, "My Dad was an inspiration to so many people. But, to me, he was just this charming, handsome, hysterically funny guy who sang a lot. Sometimes alone and sometimes with his insanely talented wife."

He added, "I am so lucky to have had him as a father and so proud to be his son. My hope is that his contributions to the entertainment industry will be remembered for many years to come."

With his wife Eydie Gorme, Steve was part of one of the country's most beloved singing duos way back in the day ... Steve and Eydie got their start in the 1950s and performed together until 2009, when she retired.

Steve and Eydie sang on lots of variety and late-night shows, including "The Judy Garland Show," "The Julie Andrews Hour," "Night Gallery," "The Danny Kaye Show," 'The Tonight Show,' and lots of others.

He and his wife also played Las Vegas nightclubs -- and in the 1980s ... they played sold-out shows at Carnegie Hall as well. Steve even opened for Ol' Blue Eyes during his 'Diamond Jubilee' tour ... so yeah, he used to roll with the best of them in those days.

Steve's biggest hit song from his solo career ... his 1962 single, "Go Away, Little Girl," which hit No. 1 on the charts.

As an actor, Steve earned a Tony nomination for his work in the Broadway musical "What Makes Sammy Run?" He also starred alongside Eydie in another musical, "Golden Rainbow."

Steve won a Primetime Emmy for a TV special celebrating Irving Berlin, and he had a bunch of other TV credits, on shows like "The Nanny" and "Hot in Cleveland."

Lawrence was 88.

¡El renacimiento de Lindsay Lohan está en pleno apogeo! Basta echar un vistazo al frenesí que ha provocado su paso por Nueva York esta semana durante la promoción de su nueva película, tanto que pareciera que es 2004 de nuevo.

La actriz se entregó plenamente a su regreso a los focos el jueves mientras llegaba a los estudios de NBC para promocionar su próxima película de Netflix "Irish Wish", que está previsto que salga el 15 de marzo, y si esto no grita lista A, no sabemos qué lo haría.

Echa un vistazo, LiLo se adueñó del momento mientras firmaba autógrafos y dejaba que los paparazzi le dispararan para sacarle fotos. Incluso tuvo la amabilidad de hablar con nuestro fotógrafo para responder a algunas preguntas.

Le preguntamos cómo la maternidad la estaba tratando desde que dio la bienvenida a su bebé, Luai, que comparte con su marido Bader Shammas y realmente nos permitió hacernos una idea, diciéndole a nuestra chica en cámara que le encanta ser madre.

Lindsay ha tenido a su familia a su lado mientras trabaja en Estados Unidos. Recuerden que ella vive en el extranjero y con todos los proyectos que tiene por estos días, está claro que está lista para abrazar el estrellato que alguna vez tuvo durante su juventud.

Es bastante impresionante de ver, para ser sinceros, es como una especie de momento redondo para ella y parece más que lista para reclamar lo que es suyo.

Recuerden Lindsay hizo un breve cameo/aparición en el reciente remake de "Mean Girls" y también se confirmó su participación para una secuela de "Freaky Friday", por lo que está bien ocupada.

Por supuesto, ella saltó a la fama como una estrella infantil en "The Parent Trap" y se convirtió en un icono en películas para jóvenes y adolescentes, pero con el tiempo, después de algunas turbulencias, se alejó del centro de los focos y se fue al extranjero.

Lindsay Lohan's renaissance is in full swing -- just take a look at the frenzy surrounding her in NYC this week while promoting her new movie ... it feels like 2004 all over again!

The actress was fully embracing her return to the spotlight Thursday while arriving at NBC Studios for an interview to plug her upcoming Netflix film "Irish Wish" -- which is set to start streaming on March 15 -- and if this doesn't scream A-list ... we don't know what does.

Check it out ... LiLo owned the moment as she signed autographs -- and let paps fire away for photos. She was even kind enough to speak with our photog to answer some questions.

We asked her how motherhood was treating her ever since welcoming her baby boy, Luai -- whom she shares with her hubby Bader Shammas -- and she actually gave us some insight into that ... telling our camera girl that she loves being a mom.

Lindsay's had her family with her while working here in the States lately -- even though she lives abroad. And with all these projects she's on these days ... it's clear she's ready to embrace the major stardom she once had in her youth.

It's pretty awesome to see, TBH ... sort of a full circle moment for her, and she seems more than ready to take it all on again.

Remember ... LL made a brief cameo/appearance in the recent "Mean Girls" remake and has also been confirmed for a "Freaky Friday" sequel ... so she's booked and busy.

Of course, she skyrocketed to fame as a child star in "The Parent Trap" and became an icon in teen/young adult movies thereafter -- but eventually, after some turbulence, she stepped away from the limelight and went overseas.

¡Hollywood está desplegando la alfombra roja para los Oscar este fin de semana! Y lo decimos literalmente porque los trabajadores ya están de rodillas y ocupados con los preparativos para el gran espectáculo.

La icónica entrega de premios se realizará el domingo en el famoso Teatro Dolby de Hollywood, y es bastante obvio que se necesitan un par de días para transformar el Paseo de la Fama de Hollywood en una alfombra roja para recibir a las estrellas de la lista A.

El equipo se reunió esta mañana para desplegar grandes cantidades de tela roja para cubrir la pasarela por donde pasarán las estrellas. Parece que el rojo y el dorado serán los colores de la noche, a juzgar por las cortinas que se están colocando, algo que no es extraño porque esa suele ser la temática de los Oscar.

Por supuesto, las plantillas de las estatuillas de los Oscar están muy presentes en todo el espacio, como si se nos fuese a olvidar la entrega de premios que estamos viendo. El caso es que, ¡ya están preparando el lugarl!

La Academia hace esto todos los años, pero siempre es fascinante de ver.

Se espera que superestrellas como Margot Robbie, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling y America Ferrera asistan este domingo, ya que todos están nominados en la noche más grande del cine.

Es seguro decir, que el lugar será aprobado por los A-listers, igual como pasó en 2023.

El año pasado la entrega de premios contó con actores de la talla de Austin Butler, Ana de Armas, Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis y Cate Blanchett, quienes vistieron sus mejores atuendos y posaron para las cámaras.

Joe Biden is going all out to make sure his State of the Union address resonates with Americans ... 'cause he's taking tips from former Presidents -- albeit, fake ones!

POTUS posted this video Thursday ahead of his SOTU later this evening, and he's zooming with a bunch of actors who've portrayed presidents in film or TV roles -- and yeah, he's got some big names here chatting with him.

Morgan Freeman -- who played President Tom Beck in "Deep Impact," as well as Pres. Trumbull in "Angel Has Fallen" -- reflects on his character having to deal with a looming meteor threat ... saying amid the crisis, people found solace in his message of hope.

Bill Pullman -- known for his role as President Thomas J. Whitmore in 1996's "Independence Day" -- looks back on his character's battle against invaders from outer space ... noting fear and chaos had a unifying effect on people.

As for Tony Goldwyn -- who played President Fitzgerald Grant III in "Scandal" -- he admitted his character behaved pretty badly while in office. But here's the kicker ... he advised Joe that if he just told the general public they made him a better man, they'd eat it up.

Michael Douglas, meanwhile, had some poignant advice to share ... emphasizing that love and compassion are strengths, not weaknesses, and urged Biden to utilize his first lady, Jill, to his advantage. He played President Andrew Shepherd in "The American President."

Geena Davis -- famous for her role as President Mackenzie Allen in the TV show "Commander In Chief" -- revealed that every week her character faced a new crisis, and the number one lesson she learned was that there's no crying in politics.

JB was clearly impressed by GD's portrayal, telling her she did one helluva job. And with a touch of humor, expressed his hope that his politics wouldn't make anyone else cry. The one big actor he was missing from the lineup is obviously Martin Sheen ... 'West Wing' anyone?

Rita Moreno dice que su ruptura con Marlon Brando la llevó directamente a los brazos de otro icono de Hollywood ... Elvis Presley.

La estrella de "West Side Story" le dijo recientemente a People que aceptó una cita con el Rey del Rock 'n' Roll después de que Marlon la dejara desconsolada. Esto, después de que descubriera la ropa interior de otra mujer mientras estaba en su casa.

Rita dice que Elvis no la invitó a salir, sino que hizo que su manager, el Coronel Tom Parker, la llamara. El Coronel le dijo a Rita: "Le gustó lo que vio y le gustaría mucho conocerte. ¿Te gustaría conocerlo?"

Como Rita estaba conmocionada por lo de Marlon, rápidamente aceptó la invitación.

Rita y Marlon, que conectaron por primera vez en 1954 en el rodaje de la película romántica "Désirée", tuvieron idas y venidas a lo largo de su relación de ocho años. A pesar de que él le rompió el corazón varias veces, la ganadora del Oscar aún lo considera uno de sus grandes amores.

En cuanto a lo que pasó con Elvis, dice que su aventura fue de corta duración. Rita le dijo a "The View" en 2021 que encontró al cantante "dulce pero aburrido". Aun así, es interesante escuchar años después que ella solo se acostó con él para vengarse de Marlon Brando.

Por supuesto, no estamos seguros si Priscilla Presley estuvo de acuerdo. Ella ha llamado a Elvis el amor de su propia vida y su relación fue bien documentada por la propia Priscilla.

De todos modos, Rita finalmente encontró su propio final feliz con el médico Leonard Gordon. Estuvieron casados durante 45 años antes de su muerte en 2010. Marlon terminó casándose tres veces en total antes de su muerte en 2004.

Hollywood is rolling out the red carpet for the Oscars this weekend ... and we mean that literally -- 'cause workers are already knee-deep in prep work for the big show!

The iconic awards show will kick off Sunday at the famed Dolby Theatre in Hollywood -- and it's pretty obvious it takes a few days to transform the Hollywood Walk of Fame into an A-list-ready red carpet ... as you can see, people were already hard at work starting Wednesday.

Crew members came together to roll out massive amounts of red fabric in order to cover up the star-studded walkway. It looks like red and gold will be the colors of the evening, if all the drapes that are going up are any indication. No surprise ... that's usually the Oscars' theme.

Of course, stencils of Oscar statuettes are heavily featured throughout the space ... as if we'd forget which awards show we're watching. Point is ... they're getting the joint ready to go!

They do this every year -- but it's always fascinating to see what goes into making the venue actor-ready once cameras start rolling later this weekend. Clearly, there's a lot of work BTS.

Superstars like Margot Robbie, Bradley Cooper, Emma Stone, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and America Ferrera are expected to attend ... as they're all big nominees heading into Tinseltown's biggest night.

Safe to say ... this thing will be backed with A-listers -- similar to how the 2023 show was.

That's to be expected, of course. Last year's awards show featured the likes of Austin Butler, Ana de Armas, Angela Bassett, Jamie Lee Curtis and Cate Blanchett ... all of whom stepped out for the event and posed for cameras.

Rita Moreno says that her heartbreak from her relationship with Marlon Brando led her right into the arms of another Hollywood icon ... Elvis Presley.

The "West Side Story" star recently told People that she accepted a date from the King of Rock 'n' Roll after Marlon left her in tears -- this after she says she discovered another woman's underwear while at his house.

Rita says Elvis himself didn't ask her out, but rather ... he had his longtime manager, Colonel Tom Parker, call her up. The Colonel reportedly told Rita ... "He liked what he saw and he would like very much to meet you. Would you like to meet him?"

Because RM says she was shaken up over Marlon -- she quickly accepted the invitation.

Rita and Marlon -- who first connected in 1954 on the set of the romance film, "Désirée" -- were on and off over the course of their eight-year romance. Despite him breaking her heart on several occasions ... the Oscar winner still considers him one of her great loves.

As for what happened with Elvis ... their fling was short-lived -- Rita told "The View" in 2021 that she found the singer "sweet but boring." Still, it's interesting to hear all these years later that she only banged him to get back at MB.

Of course, we're not sure Priscilla Presley -- would agree ... she's called Elvis the love of her own life ... and their relationship was documented as quite momentous by PP herself.

Anyway, Rita eventually found her own happy ending with doctor Leonard Gordon -- they were married for 45 years before his death in 2010. Marlon ended up marrying three times in total before his death in 2004.

Nothing like a little walk down memory lane, huh?

Hannah Gutiérrez-Reed ya está tras las rejas a la espera de su sentencia luego de ser condenada por la muerte de Halyna Hutchins producto de un disparo y su foto ya fue liberada.

La ex armera, que estaba trabajando en el set de "Rust" cuando ocurrió la tragedia en 2021, fue ingresada en el Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility el miércoles e hizo lo que cada preso tiene que hacer cuando es procesado: tomarse una foto para el registro.

Como se puede ver, Hannah no mostró ninguna sonrisa sosteniendo su pizarra. Es interesante, su foto se ve algo anticuada, hasta la clasificación de color.

Como informamos, Hannah fue puesta en custodia inmediatamente después de que se leyera su veredicto en la corte, donde un jurado emitió una sentencia dividida por dos cargos. Fue declarada culpable de homicidio involuntario y no culpable de manipulación de pruebas.

Hannah se mantuvo estoica durante todo el proceso, pero su familia la apoyó con emoción.

El caso duró alrededor de 2 semanas y los fiscales interrogaron a múltiples testigos que subieron al estrado y declararon en contra de Hannah, incluyendo los productores que dijeron, bajo juramento, que nunca le pidieron tiempo adicional al armero en el set (como ella había afirmado) y que descartó el sistema de registro para asegurarse de que las armas estaban siendo atendidas adecuadamente durante la filmación.

El abogado de Hannah argumentó que la producción en sí ya era un ambiente inseguro por su reducido presupuesto y que ella estaba abrumada con sus deberes, aunque el jurado no le creyó.

La familia de Halyna emitió un comunicado tras el veredicto y dicen que están contentos con el resultado, aunque también presagiaron que se podría venir más justicia cuando comience el juicio de Alec Baldwin.

The UFC just released one of the most kick-ass fight promos you'll ever see ... but it's not for Conor McGregor, Israel Adesanya or Jon Jones -- it's starring Jake Gyllenhaal!!

The Academy Award-nominated actor is portraying a former MMA fighter-turned-bouncer named Elwood Dalton in the upcoming reimagining of the cult classic, "Road House" ... and Dana White's organization is clearly going all-in on its involvement with the Prime Video project.

The promotion's social media accounts posted a 90-second clip on Thursday ... and it's all about Dalton's pursuit of a UFC championship against a dude named Jax "Jetway" Harris (played by former fighter Jay Hieron), who holds the belt at the time of the movie matchup.

It features all the great stuff any other fight promo would have -- highlights, voiceovers and training montages (shoutout to Jake's shredded bod).

Of course, the flick worked hard to make any fighting footage look legit ... even shooting scenes at a UFC event in 2023 to give it the full effect.

There are some pics out there that spoil the result of the Dalton vs. Harris fight ... but we won't do the same here so folks can enjoy it on March 21.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed is already behind bars as she awaits sentencing after being convicted in the shooting death of Halyna Hutchins -- and her mug shot's already out.

The former armorer -- who was working on the set of "Rust" when the tragedy occurred in 2021 -- was booked into the Santa Fe County Adult Detention Facility Wednesday and did what every inmate has to do when they're processed ... take a photo for the record.

As you can see, Gutierrez-Reed didn't flash any smiles ... and her info is right there on the slate she's holding up. It's interesting, her mug is kinda old-timey, right down to the color grading.

As we reported, Hannah was remanded to custody immediately after the verdict was read aloud in court, where a jury returned a split verdict on two charges she was facing. She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and not guilty of evidence tampering.

Hannah remained stoic throughout the proceeding, but her family was emotional behind her.

The trial lasted about 2 weeks, and prosecutors trotted out multiple witnesses who took the stand and testified against Hannah -- including producers who said, under oath, that she never requested additional armorer time on set (as she'd claimed), and she brushed off a logging system to make sure the weapons were being attended to properly during filming.

Hannah's attorney argued the production itself was already an unsafe environment because of its shoestring budget, and she was overwhelmed with her duties ... but the jury didn't buy it.

Halyna's family released a statement in the aftermath, and they're happy with the result ... while also foreshadowing more justice might be coming when Alec Baldwin's trial begins.

7:34 PM PT -- Halyna Hutchins' parents and sister just reacted to the news of Hannah's conviction. Their attorneys, Gloria Allred and John Carpenter, say ... "Halyna’s parents and her sister have always wanted everyone who is responsible for Halyna’s death to be held accountable.Today was the first trial and conviction in the criminal justice process."

They add, "We are satisfied that the jury, based on the evidence, found Hannah Gutierrez-Reed guilty beyond a reasonable doubt for her part in the taking of Halyna’s life.We look forward to the justice system continuing to make sure that everyone else who is responsible for Halyna's death is required to face the legal consequences for their actions."

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed -- the armorer on "Rust" who was charged in connection to the death of Halyna Hutchins -- just lost her criminal trial ... 'cause a jury says she's guilty of a crime.

A verdict was just read in court Wednesday out in New Mexico, where Gutierrez-Reed has been on trial since the end of last month ... with prosecutors going after her on two different charges -- namely, involuntary manslaughter and evidence tampering.

She was found guilty of involuntary manslaughter, but not guilty of the alleged tampering.

A slew of witnesses were trotted out by the prosecution ... including the first assistant director, a producer on the film, and a line producer as well -- all of whom testified against HGR.

The prosecution's case basically amounted to Hannah being careless on the set -- to the point that it amounted to negligence, they claimed -- and it sounds like the jurors agreed after about a 2 week-long trial.

Hannah was remanded to custody ... meaning she was taken to jail right there in the courthouse -- this despite the fact that her attorneys asked she remain free until sentencing. The judge denied that ... noting a death had occurred, and that she'd been found guilty.

Hannah's family was sitting behind her during all this, and once the decision was reached that she'd be going behind bars immediately ... her loved ones started to break down.

Hannah herself remained stoic throughout the proceeding, and she didn't put up a fight as deputies led her away. A sentencing date will be set later down the line. She was facing up to 3 years in prison if convicted on both counts ... now, it'll be a fraction of that -- just up to 18 months in prison and a $5,000 fine. Unclear how much time she'll end up serving.

As we reported ... some key people testified against Hannah -- with Ryan Winterstern (a producer) going under oath to refute Hannah's claim that she'd asked for more armorer time while they were shooting the flick, specifically as it related to Alec Baldwin's cross draw.

Another producer, Gabrielle Pickle, testified that Hannah had ignored her complaints about weapons being left unattended on the set ... and that she allegedly shot down a logging system to see who was handling the guns and when. That was just some of the evidence.

Hannah's defense ended up basically boiling down to her being overworked by the production ... with her attorneys insisting Halyna being shot and killed wasn't on her whatsoever.

Clearly, a jury disagreed on that front ... but they didn't see enough evidence to convince them that Hannah had tampered with anything. No word on whether she'll appeal.

Of course, Alec himself still has a looming trial that'll kick off later this summer. He's facing manslaughter charges as well ... which he's pled not guilty to.
