Oscars 2024: Snubs, upsets and Surprises

<p>It’s been a year since a US court directed the makers of the ill-fated film&nbsp;<em>Rust</em> to pay compensation to the family of Halyna Hitchins, the cinematographer killed when a gun held by actor Alec Baldwin accidentlly went off.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The gun accident took place in 2021 and the compensation settlement was reached in March 2023.</p>

<p>A court had ordered the&nbsp;producers of the film to pay the compensation for loss of life to Hitchins' widower and son, but haven’t yet paid up.</p>

<h2><strong>Where is the settlement money?</strong></h2>

<p>Baldwin, who co-produced the film,&nbsp;and the other producers had announced a settlement after the Hitchins family filed a wrongful death lawsuit in October 2022.</p>

<p>It was decided in March 2023 that once <em>Rust </em>wrapped up, the producers will collectively make payments to the Hutchins estate, including insurance funds and a portion of the profits.</p>

<p>Rust Movie Productions LLC was supposed to make the full guaranteed payments by June 13, 2023, according to a February 7 filing from the estate’s attorneys. But it hasn’t happened.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Since the money hasn’t come in, the Hutchins family estate is now considering resuming the wrongful death lawsuit or filing a new one.</p>

<p>There is no information on why there is a delay in the payments.</p>

<p>Production for <em>Rust </em>resumed last April at a film ranch in Montana, several months behind schedule. It finished production in May.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the Oscars, Hollywood actor Al Pacino caused a controversy after he omitted names of Best Picture nominees while announcing the winner. It was the last winner announcement of the 96th Academy Awards when Al was called onto the stage but kept the announcement a tad too short, straightaway naming the winner. Now, he has addressed the controversy, offering an explanation.</p>

<p>There were 10 films that made it to the Best Picture nomination list: <em>Oppenheimer</em>, <em>American Fiction</em>, <em>Anatomy of a Fall</em>, <em>Barbie</em>, <em>The Holdovers</em>,&nbsp;<em>Killers of the Flower Moon</em>, <em>Maestro</em>, <em>Past Lives</em>, <em>Poor Things </em>and <em>The Zone of Interest.</em></p>

<h2><strong>Here is how Al Pacino made the Best Picture announcement</strong></h2>

<p>Al walked on the stage, and without mentioning names of the nine other nominees, revealed that it was Christopher Nolan’s <em>Oppenheimer</em> that had won.<br />
<br />
“This is the time for the last award of the evening, and it’s my honour to present it. Ten wonderfilm films were nominated, but only one will take the award for Best Picture. And I have to go to the envelope for that, and I will. Here it comes. And my eyes see <em>Oppenheimer,</em>” he had said.</p>

<p>Since it was too short, people were left confused whether there was more coming or if that was it. &nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>This is how he defended his brief announcement</strong></h2>

<p>Addressing the controversy, Al Pacino gave a statement via his representatives.</p>

<p>He said, “There seems to be some controversy about my not mentioning every film by name last night before announcing the best picture award.”</p>

<p>“I just want to be clear it was not my intention to omit them, rather a choice by the producers not to have them said again, since they were highlighted individually throughout the ceremony. I was honoured to be a part of the evening and chose to follow the way they wished for this award to be presented.”</p>

<p>On how it was not his intention to omit the fellow nominees in the Best Picture category, Al said, “I realise being nominated is a huge milestone in one’s life, and to not be fully recognised is offensive and hurtful.</p>

<p>"I say this as someone who profoundly relates with filmmakers, actors and producers, so I deeply empathise with those who have been slighted by this oversight, and it’s why I felt it necessary to make this statement. ”</p>

<p>Kanye West aka Ye started off the week on a high note as the rapper’s latest song “Carnival” topped Billboard Hot 100, after a long gap of 13 years. Ye has worked on the song with his “Vultures” collaborator.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The song debuted in late February.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Carnival debuted in February</strong></h2>

<p>The song made its debut on the all-genre-inclusive chart behind Beyonce’s “Texas Hold Em” and Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me.”&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ye and Ty Dolla $ign’s song also features rap stars Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti. Ever since it’s debut, the song has been steadily rising in streaming numbers.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This news comes as a shock for most since Kanye West has been in the middle of controversies recently. His antisemitic behaviour and comments have reduced his favourability in the music circle. Despite his controversial image now, his song remained in the Top 10 of the albums and songs listed in the United States ever since its official release on February 9. With “Carnival”, Ye has earned his fifth No 1 in this decade.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Kanye West only rapper with No.1 Billboard songs in three decades</strong></h2>

<p>This feat makes Kanye&nbsp;West the only rapper to have got a No 1 in three separate decades. The first was in 2014 alongside Twista and Jamie Foxx for the single “Slow Jamz.”</p>

<p>As for other songs, Morgan Wallen’s “One Thing at a Time” is at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The remaining titles in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200 are occupied by songs of Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan, Drake, SZA, Zach Bryan and Travis Scott.&nbsp;</p>

Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer swept Oscars 2024 with seven wins including Best Picture, Best Direction, Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor among others.

It was a bit bland but Jimmy kept the spirits up with his quirky, witty one-liners. He took funny digs at A-listers sitting close to the stage. One person who he mercilessly trolled was Robert Downey Jr.


The actor-wrestler John Cena walked on the Oscars stage naked. The awkward moment was planned marking the 50th anniversary of one of the most infamous Oscar moments from 1974 when Roberto Opel walked on the stage naked.


Al Pacino kept it so short while announcing the Best Picture winner that he announced without any introduction to the other nominees.


A big win for Emma Stone in Best Actress category for her role in Poor Things kickstarted a debate on Lily Gladstone’s snub which many thought robbed the actress of her well-deserved win. Lily was nominated for her powerful performance in Killers of the Flower Moon.


Maestro, Killers of the Flower Moon snubbed

From Sound to Cinematography, Acting to Direction, The Academy was so impressed this year with Nolan’s Oppenheimer that they failed to acknowledge other great works like Maestro featuring Bradley Cooper in the lead and Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon. 


Oscars 2024 Hits and Misses

<p>This International Women’s Day, we got talking to a few talents from across the border as we celebrate how we have grown leaps and bounds in our understanding of the feminine gender, appreciating their strength and resilience, what they bring to the table and how important it is to give them a favourable nurturing environment for them to flourish.</p>

<p>Pakistani artists who made inroads into Indian entertainment space via their television serials and became a household name, open up about their source of strength and how they envision a better, balanced world for all to thrive.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Iqra Aziz on Women's Day</strong></h2>

<p>In an exclusive chat with WION,&nbsp;Pakistani artists who we've seen in many Zindagi shows and films spoke to us about their real role models who have inspired them on journey of fame and success.</p>

<p>Commenting on the strong roles she often picks up to play on screen, Iqra Aziz said,&nbsp;"Playing strong female leads has been deeply meaningful, but the strongest women in my life are those who empower me behind the scenes. My mother, in particular, is my rock - supporting me unconditionally through every twist and turn. She has taught me resilience in the face of challenges and given me the courage to break barriers. Her quiet strength and wisdom inspires me daily.”</p>

<p>The actress added,&nbsp;"Another star in my life is my elder sister. She uplifts and motivates me, lending an ear when I need guidance and sharing their own experiences. No matter my achievements, I know they'll keep me grounded. It's the sisterhood of these remarkable women that gives me the confidence to take on new roles and continue growing. Their faith in me makes me believe I can accomplish anything. Portraying bold characters is fulfilling, but it's the real-life women who lift me higher.”</p>

<h2><strong>Saba Qamar on Women's Day</strong></h2>

<p><em>Hindi Medium</em> fame Saba Qamar, another prolific Pakistani actress said, “It's so heartening to see the deep bonds between women taking centre stage in today's shows and movies. For too long, female characters were depicted as rivals vying for male attention. But some of my most profound connections in life are with other women – my mother, sisters, friends who are like family."</p>

<p>She added, "When we come together with empathy and support, instead of envy, it's empowering beyond measure.”</p>

<h2><strong>Shailja Kejriwal on Women's Day</strong></h2>

<p>Shailja Kejriwal, Chief Creative Officer of Special projects of Zee Entertainment Enterprises Limited said on the occasion of Women’s Day, “Women’s solidarity forms a robust network of empowerment, shattering barriers and igniting transformation. Through our #TumseMain campaign, Zindagi celebrates this bond, amplifying women’s voices and honouring their resilience, not just on International Women’s Day, but every day.”</p>

<p>You can trust Donald Trump to make an event like the Oscars all about himself after he tweeted harshly about this year’s host Jimmy Kimmel.

<p>His tweet further read: “Also a really bad politically correct show tonight, and for years - Disjointed, boring, and very unfair. Why don’t they just give the Oscars to those that deserve them?

Oscars 2024 Full Winners List: Oppenheimer emerges clear winner with best film, top acting awards

<p><em>To Kill A Tiger</em> fought it out till the end until it lost to <em>20 Days in Mariupol </em>at the 2024 Oscars<em>. </em>The India-set Canadian documentary was a frontrunner in the Best Documentary Feature but it lost to another great film. <em>To Kill A Tiger </em>was directed by Delhi-born Canadian filmmaker Nisha Pahuja and was backed by global Indian star Priyanka Chopra.&nbsp;</p>

<p><em>To Kill a Tiger</em> was nominated alongside films like <em>Bobi Wine: The People’s President, The Eternal Memory, Four Daughters</em>, and<em> 20 Days in Mariupol</em> which eventually won the Oscar in the nominated category.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>What is To Kill A Tiger about?</strong></h2>

<p>The documentary <em>To Kill A Tiger</em> follows the lives of a village family in the state of Jharkhand in India. They are seen campaigning for justice after their teenage daughter was brutally raped. Things turn sour when the family faces insurmountable pressure to drop the charges even after the father of the 13-year-old girl gets the men accused of rape arrested. The film’s synopsis suggests that their “relief is short-lived, as the villagers and their leaders launch a sustained campaign to force the family to drop the charges.”</p>

To Kill A Tiger fought it out till the end until it lost to 20 Days in Mariupol at the 2024 Oscars. The India-set Canadian documentary was a frontrunner in the Best Documentary Feature but it lost to another great film. To Kill A Tiger was directed by Delhi-born Canadian filmmaker Nisha Pahuja and was backed by global Indian star Priyanka Chopra. To Kill a Tiger was nominated alongside films like Bobi Wine: The People’s President, The Eternal Memory, Four Daughters, and 20 Days in Mariupol which eventually won the Oscar in the nominated category. What is To Kill A Tiger about? The documentary To Kill A Tiger follows the lives of a village family in the state of Jharkhand in India. They are seen campaigning for justice after their teenage daughter was brutally raped. Things turn sour when the family faces insurmountable pressure to drop the charges even after the father of the 13-year-old girl gets the men accused of rape arrested. The film’s synopsis suggests that their “relief is short-lived, as the villagers and their leaders launch a sustained campaign to force the family to drop the charges.” Congratulations to '20 Days in Mariupol' — this year's Best Documentary Feature Film! #Oscars pic.twitter.com/y1Qsf7bTpm — The Academy (@TheAcademy) March 11, 2024 × To Kill A Tiger is available to stream on Netflix.
