<p>'Ma Rainey`s Black Bottom', a jazz drama set in 1920s Chicago, won two awards at the opening of the BAFTAs on Saturday, but the race for the main prizes remains open with a list of contenders that shines a spotlight on diversity.<br />
<br />
The British Academy of Film and Television Arts ceremony is being held virtually over two nights as the COVID-19 pandemic prevents the usual celebrity-packed show with a live audience.<br />
<br />
Saturday`s opening mainly focused on the craft's side of film-making and handed out nine awards. "Ma Rainey", starring Viola Davis and the late Chadwick Boseman, won for costume design and makeup and hair. Hollywood throwback "Mank" won for production design.<br />
Other prizes went to the coming-of-age story "Rocks", thriller "Tenet" and "Sound of Metal", about a drummer going deaf. Actor Noel Clarke received the Outstanding British Contribution to Cinema award.<br />
<br />
The main prizes will be announced on Sunday when director Ang Lee will receive the BAFTA Fellowship. American recession drama "Nomadland" and "Rocks" had led the nominations with seven nods each.<br />
<br />
After an outcry last year when BAFTA presented an all-white acting contenders list, more than half of this year`s 24 nominees are actors of colour.<br />
"Nomadland", about a community of van-dwellers, is in the running for best film, leading actress for its star Frances McDormand and best director for Chinese-born Chloe Zhao, one of the four women out of six nominees in that category.<br />
<br />
The other best film contenders are the 1960s Vietnam War protest drama "The Trial of the Chicago 7", #Metoo revenge black comedy "Promising Young Woman", dementia drama "The Father" and Guantanamo Bay movie "The Mauritanian".<br />
<br />
So far "Nomadland" and "The Trial of the Chicago 7" have won top prizes at the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards respectively.<br />
<br />
"Most years you have an idea and you`re not normally that far wrong because you`ve been watching momentum of certain films gather speed," Alex Ritman, UK correspondent for The Hollywood Reporter, told Reuters. "This year has been very peculiar and ... I think we could get some surprises on the night."<br />
<br />
McDormand and Vanessa Kirby, who plays a grieving mother in "Pieces of a Woman", are the only two leading actress contenders also nominated for an Oscar for those same roles.<br />
<br />
BAFTA surprised many when it named Bukky Bakray for “Rocks”, Radha Blank for “The Forty-Year-Old Version”, Wunmi Mosaku for “His House” and Alfre Woodard for “Clemency” as their competition.<br />
<br />
Leading actor nominees include Riz Ahmed for "Sound of Metal", and Boseman, who has won numerous prizes for portraying an ambitious trumpet player in "Ma Rainey".<br />
<br />
The others are Adarsh Gourav for “The White Tiger”, Anthony Hopkins for “The Father”, Mads Mikkelsen for “Another Round” and Tahar Rahim for “The Mauritanian”, one of several films BAFTA has recognised but which has been overlooked by other awards events.</p>

What happens next? Plans for Prince Philip's funeral

<p>&nbsp;A glamorous party that was cancelled in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic will be back this year and the first youth poet laureate of the United States, Amanda Gorman has been approached to host the ceremony.<br />
<br />
According to Page Six, the Met Gala event that marks the opening of the Costume Institute`s annual fashion exhibit in the US will be returning on September 13 this year.

Vogue`s `Oscars of Fashion` originally takes place on the first Monday of May that is May 3, according to the calendar, but keeping an eye on the infectious disease the date has been set for five months later that is September 13, in hopes that life will have returned to something closer to normal by then.<br />
<br />
A source told Page Six that it won`t be on the first Monday of the month because that date is already occupied by Labor Day."Even Anna Wintour can`t change a federal holiday," said the insider.<br />
<br />
According to the sources, the magazine has also approached Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) chairman Tom Ford to act as host along with Amanda. Amanda, the 23-year old breakout star of President Biden`s inauguration, is on the cover of the magazine`s May issue and the subject of a relentlessly glowing profile inside.<br />
<br />
Given her show-stopping performance at the inauguration, the theme fittingly will be a celebration of America and American designers, as per Page Six. However, the format for this year`s event has been still kept under wraps.<br />

Winter came and went, leaving millions disappointed by the ending and a generation of adolescent boys exhausted from over-stimulation. Many more wondered whether all the blood and bare bottoms were strictly necessary.

Winter came and went, leaving millions disappointed by the ending and a generation of adolescent boys exhausted from over-stimulation. Many more wondered whether all the blood and bare bottoms were strictly necessary. But few would argue that HBO's "Game of Thrones", celebrating its 10th birthday on April 17, was anything less than a televisual phenomenon. HBO releases new trailer of 'Game of Thrones' season 8 on 10-year anniversary Much to the chagrin of TV executives, figuring out how to repeat its global success remains as much a mystery as to how anyone ever built a 700-foot wall entirely out of ice. View this post on Instagram A post shared by gameofthrones (@gameofthrones) × The winning components are clear, not least HBO's penchant for naked -- usually female -- bodies. The non-stop sex brought controversy, especially when it was less consensual than in the original books, starting with the brutal consummation of Daenerys' marriage to Khal Drogo in the first episode in 2011. "I think they misjudged the audience at the very beginning... There was something quasi-pornographic going on there," said Carolyne Larrington, a medieval literature professor at the University of Oxford and author of "All Men Must Die: Power and Passion in Game of Thrones". HBO to mark 'Game of Thrones' 10-year anniversary with month-long celebrations But overall, according to the experts at MrSkin.com, the show sits a lowly seventh in the all-time TV nudity rankings, with 82 nude scenes (74 percent female and a 4:1 vagina-to-penis ratio). View this post on Instagram A post shared by gameofthrones (@gameofthrones) × That's far below "Shameless" and "True Blood", with 236 and 137 nude scenes, respectively. - Power politics - Gore was another attraction, with a catalogue of skin-flaying, eye-gouging, throat-slitting, horse-heart-eating carnage that, famously, refused to spare even the show's main characters. Their unpredictable chances of survival added to its addictive appeal as the deaths racked up -- 59 in season one, soaring to 3,523 in the massacres eighth and final season, according to data site Statista. HBO has three more 'Game of Thrones' spinoffs on the list; here's what we know so far Still, there are more violent shows around and titillation alone cannot explain a viewership that reached 207 countries and saw 19.3 million people tune in live for the final episode in 2019 in the United States alone, according to HBO. Media analysts Parrot Analytics said it was still the most talked-about show through 2020, a year after it finished. Much of the credit must go to the spectacular way in which the world of Westeros was brought to life by showrunners Dan Weiss and David Benioff, and above all to the rich story-telling of George R.R. Martin, on whose books the show was based. "What made the show so interesting were the twin poles of power politics and family," said Larrington. "How you gain power and how you exercise it... and how the young people spend the whole eight seasons looking for ways not to be like their parents or grandparents... these are what gave it its universal appeal." For all the criticism around its treatment of women, the story had complex female characters at its core. "To maximise your audience, it's no good for fantasy shows simply to have manly men doing manly things while the women are just damsels in distress or mothers looking concerned," Larrington said. - 'Intimidating size' - Even for fans of the books, the success came as a shock. "It's still hard to believe that the show exploded into a phenomenon like it did," said Myles McNutt, author of "Game of Thrones: A Guide to Westeros and Beyond". "It could have been that Martin's story was more accessible than we realised but it just had to be unburdened from the intimidating size of his novels." He said that the timing also helped, coming just as social media became a vital part of TV viewing. "Game of Thrones" was indeed the show that launched a thousand memes. Many even found their way into political discourse, from a British lawmaker warning that winter would come if people didn't vote for Brexit, to then-president Donald Trump tweeting an image of himself in the show's artwork with the words "Sanctions Are Coming" aimed at Iran. - Thriving future? - It may be no surprise that concocting the next hit fantasy show looks challenging. HBO has multiple prequels in development, though only one, "House of the Dragon" is so far greenlit. Amazon, meanwhile, has forked out $250 million for the rights to "Lord of the Rings". But the stakes are high, as the makers of "Game of Thrones" found when the final series was vilified by fans for seeming rushed. Some 1.8 million people -- and counting -- have signed a petition demanding it be remade "with competent writers". McNutt said that it was unclear how audiences would respond to new takes on their favourite parallel worlds. "But HBO and Amazon are betting hundreds of millions of dollars that 'Game of Thrones' opened the door to a thriving future for fantasy television, and that's definitely never something I would have imagined a decade ago when the show premiered," he added.

The movie is set in 2063. Earth has become hot, dry and disease-stricken but scientists have discovered a new planet that can support human life.

Space thriller 'Voyagers' will strike a lockdown chord, star Tye Sheridan says

<p>A new Avengers-themed area featuring a Spider-Man ride, roaming superheroes and a shawarma food cart will open at Walt Disney Co`s Disneyland Resort in California on June 4, the head of the company`s parks division said on Thursday.<br />
<br />
The debut will come weeks after the resort in Anaheim, about 35 miles southeast of Los Angeles, begins welcoming back guests for the first time in a year starting on April 30.<br />
<br />
Disneyland, the original Disney theme park, and neighboring California Adventure were closed in March 2020 to help prevent spread of the novel coronavirus. The shutdown thwarted plans to open the Avengers Campus in July 2020.<br />
<br />
Josh D`Amaro, chairman of Disney parks, experiences and products, announced the new opening date as he offered a glimpse of the Avengers attractions during a pre-taped video shown to reporters.<br />
<br />
In a new Spider-Man ride called "Web Slingers," which combines physical and virtual environments, guests will team with Spidey to capture out-of-control Spider-Bots. "You will swear Peter Parker`s right there," said Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige, referring to Spider-Man`s alter ego.<br />
A swinging Spider-Man character also will perform acrobatics above the park`s rooftops. The character is a "stuntronic" robot designed to perform somersaults while flying 60 feet in the air, Disney said.<br />
<br />
Black Panther, Black Widow, Doctor Strange, Iron Man also will found in the park, as well as a Quinjet, an advanced aircraft used by the Avengers.<br />
"There`s only one place you can see one of our Quinjets," Feige said. "It`s either in the movie or it`s here."<br />
<br />
Food options will include a cart offering shawarma, a nod to a scene at the end of the 2012 "Avengers" movie when various superheroes ate the Middle Eastern dish together after saving the world.<br />
