<p>The Hollywood awards season is finally over. The Academy Awards wrapped up this year’s sweet tryst of film awards with some usual wins and some pretty obvious snubs. As expected, J Robert Oppenheimer’s semi-biographical tale directed by Christopher Nolan made the most buzz at the ceremony with seven wins in total. This included big-ticket wins like Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director. Barring Best Actress which Emma Stone picked up for <em>Poor Things</em>, <em>Oppenheimer</em> was all over the Academy stage this year.&nbsp;</p>

<p>If we, for a second, stop talking about <em>Oppenheimer,</em> nothing really had a shock and awe value at this year’s Oscars. As expected, <em>Barbie</em> was out of favour at the Oscars with the film not picking anything apart from the Best Song accolade for Billie Eilish. She thanked the film’s director, Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie and others in the cast and crew and those who made <em>Barbie </em>a phenomenon.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Apart from the Barbenheimer ode at the Oscars stage with Emily Blunt and Ryan Gosling taking to the stage together, here’s what we think deserves a mention from this year’s Oscars ceremony.</p>

<h2><strong>All the snubs and surprises at the Oscars 2024:&nbsp;</strong></h2>

<p><strong>Jimmy Kimmel’s opening monologue</strong></p>

<p>It was a bit bland but Jimmy Kimmel kept the spirits with his quirky, witty one-liners. In his opening monologue, he took funny digs at A-listers sitting close to the stage. One person who he mercilessly trolled was Robert Downey Jr. &nbsp;“Was that too on the nose or a drug motion you made? Look at him, he’s so handsome, so talented, he’s won every award there is to win. Is that an acceptance speech in your pocket or do you just have a very rectangular penis? 20 years ago, Robert played the villain, and correct me if I have this wrong, in a movie where Tim Allen turns into a dog, right? And if you ever decide to remake that film, I have just the guy to play Tim Allen. That is — where is he? Messi. Even though he’s a dog, may have given the performance of the year in <em>Anatomy of a Fall</em>. He has an overdose scene. I haven’t seen a French actor vomit like that since Gérard Depardieu.”</p>

<p>He also joked about <em>Barbie </em>director Greta Gerwig not getting a best director nod, saying, “Now, Barbie is a feminist icon, thanks to Greta Gerwig, who many believed deserved to be nominated for best director tonight. Hold on a second. I know you’re clapping, but you’re the ones who didn’t vote for her, by the way. Don’t act like you had nothing to do with this.”</p>

<p><strong>John Cena walks naked&nbsp;as presenter</strong></p>

<p>In a bizarre walk on stage, 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. Cena was invited to present the award to the best costume designer. He walked on the stage with a large envelope covering his private part and wearing a pair of sandals.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Al Pacino’s awkward Best Picture presenter speech</strong></p>

<p>There was something off about Al Pacino. The celebrated actor was called onto the stage to present the final award of the Oscars ceremony. The actor kept it so short that without mentioning the names of the films that had been nominated or any background about them, Al Pacino jumped onto opening the envelope and announced the winner’s name. He opened the envelope and said, “Oppenheimer.” The announcement confused everyone because no one thought it could be cut down to such a small presentation.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Lily Gladstone snubbed</strong></p>

<p>A major win for Emma Stone in the Best Actress category for her role in<em> Poor Things</em> kickstarted&nbsp;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 <em>Killers of the Flower Moon </em>opposite Leonardo DiCaprio in the Martin Scorsese&nbsp;directorial. While Emma got emotional and tears welled up in her eyes as she shared words of gratitude, cameras kept panning to Lily who many thought was a far deserving candidate. <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-oscars-2024-winners-list-robert-downey-jr-wins-his-first-oscar-for-best-supporting-actor-updating-live-698762">Check out full Oscars 2024 winners list here</a></p>

<p>Emma Stone also had a silly moment&nbsp;as the back of her dress broke, which she said happened during Ryan Gosling's electrifying "I'm Just Ken" performance. After accepting the Oscar, she asked everyone to not look since her dress was broken.&nbsp;</p>

<p><strong>Maestro, Killers of the Flower Moon snubbed amid Oppenheimer fever</strong></p>

<p>The Academy has a pattern. They pick something, they like it, and then they bestow all awards on it. From Sound to Cinematography, Acting to Direction, The Academy was so impressed this year with Nolan’s <em>Oppenheimer </em>that they failed to acknowledge other great works like <em>Maestro</em> featuring Bradley Cooper in the lead and Martin Scorsese’s <em>Killers of the Flower Moon. Barbie</em> too didn’t win anything apart from Best Song for Billie Eilish. &nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-oscar-awards-2024-oppenheimer-sweeps-the-oscars-with-7-wins-barbie-only-wins-best-song-698800">Oscar Awards 2024: Seven wins for Oppenheimer, Barbie bags only one for Best Song</a></p>

<p>All set for an Eid release this year, Ajay Devgn starrer <em>Maidaan </em>dropped its first trailer which tells the story of an unsung hero, Syed Abdul Rahim, who brought pride to Indian football.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film tells the story of a forgotten hero who changed the way we perceive football in India as it got so much fame that it is still unmatched, even after 60 years. Ajay will be seen playing Indian coach Rahim who created history and records for India. Rahim trained and coached the players of that time for the impending Asian Games.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Maidaan is based on a true story</strong></h2>

<p>Based on a true story, <em>Maidaan</em> is directed by Amit Ravindernath Sharma. Ajay essays the role of legendary Indian coach Syed Abdul Rahim, a man who breathes football and has the title of being called the architect of modern Indian football.

Based on their talents and without considering their socio-economic conditions, Syed Abdul Rahim chooses underdogs for the national team. The struggle begins when the government doesn't show the same faith in the team. The film's trailer pegs Maidaan very much like Chake De, where against odds, Ajay drives the team to victory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The film tackles those issues, how it is much more about politics than the actual sport -- which decides&nbsp;a game's fate in a country dealing with poverty and unemployment issues.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As for the record, under Syed Abdul Rahim, India&nbsp;won gold medals in the Asian Games of (1951-Delhi and 1962-Jakarta) and played semi-finals of the Summer Olympics (1956-Melbourne) making India the first ever Asian country to achieve this place.</p>

“Who Run The World?, Girls” Best Songs That Scream Girl Power

<p>Kristen Stewart hates how they film sex scenes in films these days. She feels they are too planned and methodical about the process unlike how it should be.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Ahead of the release of her crime thriller <em>Love Lies Bleeding,</em> the actress told NBC News that she’s “so sick” of methodical movie sex scenes that aren’t remotely close to how sex happens in real life. The topic came up since Kristen Stewart's&nbsp;<em>Love Lies Bleeding</em> co-star Katy O’Brian filmed several sex scenes for the new film, directed by Rose Glass.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>"Simulated sex is so rote"</strong></h2>

<p>Speaking about the scenes will blow people’s minds, she said, “The run-of-the-mill, like, just-go-for-it simulated sex thing is so rote. And it’s like actors do have this default thing where, like, ‘Ok, we’re supposed to make out and have sex now.’ That’s just not how people have sex, and I’m so sick of seeing it.”</p>

<p>She added that the sex scenes were “really nailing the details and talking about the physical experience more so than even seeing it, like verbalising it, talking to each other, sharing space, having it not be cut up into a ton of different shots, it felt like … a really beautiful thing to deliver an experience that was, like, literal instead of faux.”</p>

<h2><strong>"Sex scenes in new film will shock people"</strong></h2>

<p>In a previous interview with Variety, Kristen had said that the sex scenes in the upcoming film will “shock people” because of how direct they are. She added that the characters in the film’s sex scenes “don’t take their clothes off, but this is going to shock people.”</p>

<p>“All you ever [usually] see is a dress coming up and a head going down under. I think even hetero sex on film is so rote. You go, ‘Ok, I know what that looks like in movies, that’s what we’ll do,’ because no one actually wants to reveal themselves,” she added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Looks like Tyla’s fans will have to wait a bit longer since the Grammy-winning singer postponed her world tour due to an injury.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Tyla, taking to Instagram to make the announcement wrote, “For the past year I’ve been silently suffering with an injury that has tragically worsened. I’ve seen doctors and specialists with high hopes but the pain has only become more agonising as has the severity of the situation.”</p>

<p>Tyla added that she was “absolutely heartbroken” to not be able to make it to her fans and get on with the tour. The world tour was scheduled to kickstart on march 21 and included a slot at Coachella festival too. Coachella is scheduled for April.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Heartbroken and looking forward&nbsp;to a better show once I am better: Tyla</strong></h2>

<p>On why she will have to miss such momentous music events, she said, “In consulting with medical professionals it’s become increasingly clear that continuing any festival or tour dates would jeopardise my long-term health and safety."</p>

<p>Meanwhile, Tyla has plans to recover and get back to&nbsp;the stage soon. She said that she and her team are “working diligently on a spectacular show”&nbsp;and is “ready to return safely onstage this summer.” &nbsp;</p>

<p>Also, those who have bought the tickets to the world tour already will get the refund, she mentioned. This is for North American tour dates. She added that for international dates of the tour, her team is working out on options.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>Tyla rose to fame with her single "Water"</strong></h2>

<p>Tyla signed to Epic Records in 2021 and rose to fame in the US with her single “Water,” &nbsp;which reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and No. 1 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs and Hip-Hop/R&amp;B charts.&nbsp;</p>

<p>At the recently held Grammys, Tyla picked the inaugural best African music performance. Her debut self-titled LP will arrive on March 22. &nbsp;</p>

<p>The Academy tried something different last year as they rolled out a champagne-coloured carpet for the event. The Oscars this year don't want to toy around with a new idea and are going back to basics. We say that because they have rolled out the deep red carpet that we are familiar with.&nbsp;</p>

<p>This is ahead of the Dolby Theatre event on March 10 when the whos-who of the Hollywood world will get together to celebrate films and more.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The red carpet has been a staple at worldwide premieres of films and galas since 1922. The first time a red carpet was rolled out and talked about was the 1922 premiere of Robin Hood, which starred Douglas Fairbanks, at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood. &nbsp;The Academy then adopted the red colour for its events beginning with the 1961 ceremony. The colour has since been renamed the Academy Red and is instantly recognisable in pictures.</p>

<h2><strong>Why Pooja Bhatt said yes to this project</strong></h2>

<p>On this new project, Pooja Bhatt said, "I said yes to <em>Big Girls Don't Cry</em> because I was drawn to the story, the setting, and the characters in it. As a rebellious teenager who never shied away from speaking my mind and questioning authority, it was such a kick to play Anita Verma. What I loved was that within the series, the characters develop a healthy sense of self and strive to overcome gender bias and stereotypes. For me, this was key, as that ensures they become healthy role models for others out there. It is much needed in the times we live in, where focus is more on materialistic and frivolous virtues."</p>

<p>Creator and director Nitya Mehra said, "<em>Big Girls Don't Cry</em> is my homage to the best years of my life. It's an homage to my best friends, to sisterhood, and to the young girls that inspire me every day."</p>

<p><em>Big Girls Don't Cry </em>will stream on Prime Video&nbsp;from March 14.</p>

All about sisterhood and more Taking to Instagram, Pooja Bhatt treated fans to the trailer and captioned it, “If there is one thing stronger than magic, it is SISTERHOOD!” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Pooja B (@poojab1972) × The video gives a glimpse into the boarding school life at the prestigious Vandana Valley, where a group of seven girls are gearing up for their final year in school with every intention of ruling the campus.
