The third time when it showed up in a mutated form, it broke through. But fortunately, they already had a 98% vaccination rate. This is why I love New Zealand. People there are, for the most part, sane as opposed to the United States where you had a 62% vaccination rate, and that's going down – going the wrong direction." Speaking of his decision to move to another country, the director asked a question that was a sly commentary on the current situation in the United States. Although the director has not directly stated this. "Where would you rather live? A place that actually believes in science and is sane and where people can work together cohesively to a common goal, or a place where everybody's at each other's throats, extremely polarized, turning its back on science and basically would be in utter disarray if another pandemic appears," he asked. During the conversation, Bensinger described the U.S. as "a fantastic place to live." Reacting to this, he said, "Is it?" "I'm not there for scenery, I'm there for the sanity," the filmmaker added.

The votes are in and the moment is here: the Academy is set to reveal the nominations for this year's Oscars, with "One Battle After Another" and "Sinners" expected to top the list. Experts predict that the acclaimed hits, both from Warner Bros, could each rack up a dozen or more nods for Hollywood's grandest awards ceremony -- from best picture and best actor to the new best casting prize. Some even suggest that the films could tie -- or even break -- the all-time record of nominations for a single film, jointly held by "All About Eve," "Titanic" and "La La Land" at 14. It is rare for a single Hollywood studio to have the two clear Oscar frontrunners, and it ironically comes in what could be Warner Bros' swansong year as an independent distributor. Warner Bros is the target of a fierce bidding war between Paramount Skydance and Netflix. "Sinners," a blues-inflected period horror film about the segregated US South, comes from "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler. It is expected to land a best actor nomination for Michael B. Jordan, who plays two twins battling vampires and racists in 1930s Mississippi, plus everything from screenplay to score. For Variety awards expert Clayton Davis, the nominations record is within reach for "Sinners." Coogler is "rewriting the math entirely," and could enter "a statistical stratosphere no filmmaker has ever touched," Davis wrote. But so far this awards season, Paul Thomas Anderson -- whose formidable, eclectic filmography runs from "Boogie Nights" to "There Will Be Blood" -- has won almost every prize going for "One Battle After Another." A zany thriller about a retired revolutionary looking for his teen daughter against a wild backdrop of radical violence, immigration raids and white supremacists, it broke the all-time record for nominations by Hollywood's actors guild. Former best actor Oscar winner Leonardo DiCaprio is all but certain to secure his seventh acting nomination from the Academy. Netflix has its own hopefuls in Guillermo del Toro's monster horror flick "Frankenstein," tragic Western pioneer drama "Train Dreams" and animated musical sensation "KPop Demon Hunters." - Best casting - "Hamnet," a tragic literary adaptation that imagines William Shakespeare coping with the death of his son, is likely to land a bagful of nominations. Jessie Buckley, who plays the Bard's long-suffering wife Agnes, appears a lock for a best actress nomination. She is likely to be joined by Emma Stone playing an alien -- or is she? -- in conspiracy theorist drama "Bugonia," and Norwegian actress Renate Reinsve in arthouse darling "Sentimental Value." With the Academy's overseas voter base rapidly expanding, "Sentimental Value" is one of a trio of non-English-language films that could contend for best picture. Along with Persian-language Palme d'Or winner "It Was Just An Accident," there is also Brazil's "The Secret Agent," though "space feels limited" for all three to make the list, wrote Davis. "The Secret Agent" star Wagner Moura, playing a scientist on the run from Brazil's 1970s dictatorship, is expected to vie with DiCaprio and Jordan for best actor. But that category's frontrunner is Timothee Chalamet, whose turn in "Marty Supreme" as a bratty, talented and fiercely ambitious ping pong player in 1950s New York has already won a Golden Globe, a Critics Choice Award and more. This year sees the introduction of a new Oscar for best casting, honoring the experts who attach actors to projects long before future blockbusters or indie hits begin production. With no precedent, it is unclear what exactly voters will be looking for. "Is it star power? Ensemble cohesion? Finding a discovery?" asked Davis. The nominations will be unveiled Thursday at 5:30 am (1330 GMT) in Los Angeles, with the 98th Oscars ceremony to follow on March 15.

The internet was shocked when a well-known Turkish star Hande Ercel called Shah Rukh Khan, uncle. But did she really called him, or it's just a fake news. Scroll to check.

Shah Rukh Khan is the heartbeat of millions of people across the globe. Recently, however, Turkish actor Hande Ercel made headlines after a screengrab went viral in which she was seen calling the Bollywood icon an “uncle” having failed to recognise the B-town. Days after the screenshot went viral, Hande dismissed the social media claim, stating that the image was fake. Hande is best known to Indian audiences for her show Pyaar Lafzon Mein Kahan. Did Hande Ercel call Shah Rukh Khan “uncle”? Here's the truth Shah Rukh Khan and Hande Ercel were present at the Joy Awards in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which was attended by several Hollywood stars, including Katy Perry, Millie Bobby Brown, and others. SRK attending the event had already made headlines, but what truly caught attention was a screengrab of an Instagram video that was allegedly shared by the Turkish actor Hande was filming her actress friend Amina Khalil, who walked onto the stage to present an award alongside Shah Rukh Khan. Soon after the video surfaced, desi fans were thrilled, believing that Hande was a fan of the Indian superstar and hence recorded her. However, another post quickly went viral with visible text that read, “Who is this uncle? I was just filming my friend @aminakhalilofficial, I am not his fan!! Please stop spreading false information!!” The video with the “uncle” text spread rapidly, triggering strong reactions from fans. One such post caught Hande's attention, prompting her to respond and clarify that the post was fake.
