Oscars 2023: Lady Gaga, Billie Eilish's songs among 82 eligible for Original Song

<p>In what comes as a mood spoiler for the makers of Cate Blanchett starrer ‘Tar’, the original score of the film becomes ineligible for Oscars Original Song category. Also, ‘Vegas’, the popular song from ‘Elvis’ has been disqualified from Oscars consideration.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Oscars 2023 eligibility list came out yesterday and was made available only to the Academy members who can access the official website.&nbsp;</p>

<p>According to Variety, 147 scores and <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/oscars-2023-lady-gaga-billie-eilishs-songs-among-82-eligible-for-original-song-542541">82 songs were entered</a>, evaluated and declared eligible for Oscars by the Academy music branch’s executive committee.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Icelandic composer Hildur Guðnadóttir’s ‘Tár’ score was disqualified because of the amount of original, audible music was insufficient, and ran afoul of a second rule that “a score shall not be eligible if it has been diluted by the use of pre-existing music.” The film is about a world-famous conductor (Cate Blanchett) preparing to conduct a Mahler symphony and an Elgar concerto with a German orchestra, and most of the audible music in the film consists of those, and other classical music excerpts.&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/copyright-lawsuit-against-taylor-swifts-shake-it-off-dropped-542603">Copyright lawsuit against Taylor Swift's 'Shake It Off' dropped</a></p>

<p>Another such case was of ‘Vegas’, a song by Doja Cat for ‘Elvis’. Written by Doja Cat and producers Roget Chahayed and Yeti Beats, the song is an interpolation of the Elvis Presley classic ‘Hound Dog’ (by Mike Stoller and the late Jerry Lieber).</p>

<p>According to Oscars rules, both words and music must be “original, written specifically for the motion picture” and must be the result of “creative interaction between the filmmakers and the songwriters who have been engaged to work directly on the motion picture.”</p>

Oscars 2023: 'Tar' original score, Doja Cat's 'Vegas' from 'Elvis' deemed ineligible

<p>Will Smith will very soon make his on-screen comeback with the most-discussed movie of the year, 'Emancipation.'&nbsp;Both Smith and his film have become the talk of the town, and all thanks go to his&nbsp;famous Oscar slapgate. On Wednesday, Will, along with his whole family, made a red carpet-comeback for the LA premiere of his film.<br />
<br />
The Oscar-winning actor walked the red carpet hand in hand with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. This was the couple's first public appearance since the infamous Oscar slap scandal in April of this year.<br />
<br />
For the event, Will chose to wear a three-piece wine-coloured suit paired with a pink shirt, and as always, he was looking dapper. Meanwhile, Jada was wearing a white voluminous gown with stone detailing. She added extra glam to her look by adding diamond jewellery.<br />

Will Smith will very soon make his on-screen comeback with the most-discussed movie of the year, 'Emancipation.' Both Smith and his film have become the talk of the town, and all thanks go to his famous Oscar slapgate. On Wednesday, Will, along with his whole family, made a red carpet-comeback for the LA premiere of his film. The Oscar-winning actor walked the red carpet hand in hand with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. This was the couple's first public appearance since the infamous Oscar slap scandal in April of this year. For the event, Will chose to wear a three-piece wine-coloured suit paired with a pink shirt, and as always, he was looking dapper. Meanwhile, Jada was wearing a white voluminous gown with stone detailing. She added extra glam to her look by adding diamond jewellery.

Oscars 2023: All categories to be awarded live on air

Gujarati film 'Chhello Show' beats 'RRR' and 'The Kashmir Files' to become India's official entry to the Oscars. This announcement came as a surprise and with this came a lot of allegations and controversies. FWICE (Federation of Western India Cine Employees) accused the film of being a copy of an Italian-French film, they even said it is not an Indian film at all. WION spoke to the filmmaker himself who cleared all these allegations one at a time.

"Disrespectful to the FFI that has picked 'Chhello Show' for Oscars" Pan Nalin on copy allegations

<p>Chris Rock has been slammed by Nicole Bown Simpson's sister Tanya Brown over a joke he made comparing a double murder to his refusal to host the Oscars.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
The 57-year-old comic allegedly said during his Sunday night performance in Phoenix that asking Simpson to "go back to the restaurant" where she left her eyeglasses before she was murdered would be like asking him to attend the Academy Awards following the notorious Will Smith slap incident.<br />
<br />
"Nothing funny about his joke towards Jada as she suffers from a physical condition and nothing funny about equating an Oscar host invitation to a double homicide," Tanya wrote on Instagram.<br />
<br />
"I always thought he was funny, but he crossed the line with this one," the motivational speaker and life coach added.<br />
<br />
"In other words, Y`all!!!! Stop using my sister, OJ, and Ron as part of your cricking comedy act. There are families behind this tragedy!" she said of Rock drawing a parallel between the slap and Brown and Ron Goldman`s gruesome double homicide.</p>

"Nothing funny about his joke towards Jada as she suffers from a physical condition and nothing funny about equating an Oscar host invitation to a double homicide," Tanya wrote on Instagram. "I always thought he was funny, but he crossed the line with this one," the motivational speaker and life coach added. "In other words, Y`all!!!! Stop using my sister, OJ, and Ron as part of your cricking comedy act. There are families behind this tragedy!" she said of Rock drawing a parallel between the slap and Brown and Ron Goldman`s gruesome double homicide.

<p>American actor and comedian Regina Hall shared her reaction to <a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-chris-rock-jokes-about-infamous-oscar-slap-hours-after-will-smiths-apology-video-502127">Will Smith</a>`s apology for the Oscars slap incident. According to People Magazine reports, during a red-carpet appearance for her upcoming movie `Honk for Jesus. Save Your Soul,` Hall shared, "I think it`s a tough thing and I know it`s a difficult road."<br />
<br />
She added, "The first step is he apologized. How people see it, it`s up to them ... I know that wasn`t easy.""Redemption." "The whole point is we can evolve from maybe where we are," Hall continued.<br />

<p>During the Oscars 2022 ceremony, Smith punched presenter and comedian Chris Rock on the Dolby Theatre stage after he made a G.I. Jane joke about Jada Pinkett`s baldness. After the incident on July 29, Smith took to his Instagram handle and shared an emotional video explaining why he didn`t apologise to Rock after accepting the best actor award for his performance in "King Richard" shortly after he slapped the comedian for making a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith`s short haircut.<br />
<br />
"I was fogged out by that point," Smith said, explaining why it took so long to offer Rock an apology. "It`s all fuzzy. I`ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that he`s not ready to talk. And when he is, he will reach out."Smith expressed his guilt for his actions, calling them "unacceptable."<br />
<br />
The actor has stated that he reacted violently because Rock`s joke alluded to Pinkett Smith`s hair loss due to alopecia. It`s a struggle that Pinkett Smith has previously addressed publicly.<br />
<br />
"That was one of the things about that moment. I just didn`t realize," Smith reflects. "I wasn`t thinking but many people got hurt in that moment. So I want to apologize to Chris` mother. I want to apologize to Chris` family. Specifically, Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. You know, Tony rock was my man and this is probably irreparable.""I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do [with it]," Smith said, before acknowledging the "heat" his wife and kids have taken.</p>

<p>Smith also addresses how his actions affected his fellow nominees towards the end of the video, saying, "I won because you voted for me."<br />

"It really breaks my heart to have stolen and tarnished your moment," Smith said, pointing to Questlove`s reaction, who took the Oscars stage right after the incident for winning best documentary for his project Summer of Soul."<br />
<br />
"Sorry isn`t really sufficient."He takes on what he would say to folks who looked up to him prior to the Oscars event as he concludes the video. Smith says he dislikes "when I let people down" and calls disappointing people "my central trauma."<br />
<br />
"So it hurts. It hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn`t live up to people`s image and impression of me," he continues, adding that he`s "deeply remorseful" but trying to do so "without being ashamed" of himself. "I`m a human and I made a mistake, and I`m trying not to think of myself as a piece of shit."<br />
<br />
"I would say to those people, I know it was confusing. I know it was shocking. But I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world," Smith offers as his ending note. "And if you hang on, I promise we`ll be able to be friends again."<br />
<br />
After the incident, Smith has apologised three times in various forms.The slap led to months of fallout for the Best Actor winner, who resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and Smith was banned from appearing for 10 years.Wanda Sykes during a May comedy-tour stop in Orlando, Florida, shared the moments from the ceremony as she was sitting in the audience. She stated, "I`m still traumatized. I can`t talk about it. I get emotional," as per People.<br />
<br />
The star continued, referring to how Smith remained seated during the ceremony before later winning the Best Actor award, "I couldn`t believe he was still sitting there, like an a--h---." "Shouldn`t you be sitting there with a lawyer or LAPD, motherf-----?"Amy Schumer also shared her thoughts about the slap.<br />
<br />
She stated, "It was just a f---ing bummer.""All I can say is that it was really sad, and I think it says so much about toxic masculinity. It was really upsetting," Schumer added.</p>

Regina Hall reacts on Will Smith's Oscars slap apology

<p>Will Smith is trying to get back on social media and the normal life he was living before the night of the Oscars this year when he slapped comedian Chris Rock.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
A few weeks after he shared a video titled, ‘It’s been a minute...’ in which he said that&nbsp;he has been doing a lot of thinking in the recent month and finally he is ready to answer a few questions.<br />
<br />
However, now Smith wants everything to be normal again like it used to be. And as a first step, the 'King Richard' actor shared a bizarre video of how eagerly he's trying to get back to social media.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Taking to his IG handle, Smith shared a hilarious video of a young gorilla who continuously poking the back of a big gorilla till the latter&nbsp;starts running after the smaller one for irritating him.&nbsp;Through the story, Will somewhere shared his feeling about how badly he wants to return to social media and is testing how people will react to it.&nbsp;</p>

Oscars 2022: Will Smith slapping Chris Rock triggers meme fest

<p>Ukraine certainly knows how to keep the morale high of the citizens even as it faces the mighty Russian army.</p>

<p>Ever since the Russian invasion began on February 24, several tales of bravery have emerged.</p>

<p>From confronting Russian soldiers to blocking the passage of a Russian convoy from entering the city, people have contributed in their own way as others fight as soldiers.</p>

<p>Hence, close on the heels of the 94th Academy Awards ceremony on Monday, Ukraine handed out its “Ministry of Defence of Ukraine Oscars 2022”, giving awards under various categories, while mocking the Russian military.</p>

<p>Seven videos selected by the defence ministry highlighted various aspects of the war. From drone footage, to displaced people of Ukraine singing in bomb shelters, the tweets have honoured the bravery shown by the people of the country.</p>

<p>The Best Picture Award has been given to the courage shown by the Ukrainian state border guards telling the Russian warship to “Go F*** Yourself" while defending Snake Island in response to demands to surrender.</p>

A star-studded, glamour-packed Oscars red carpet marked the full return of Hollywood`s big night out at Los Angeles` Dolby Theatre on Sunday after the seismic changes brought by COVID-19. After a scaled-down ceremony at a train station last year, the Oscars have returned to their traditional venue, which will be filled to about three-quarters capacity with 2,500 guests, allowing for some social distancing. Among the first celebrities to step onto the red carpet was Hollywood veteran Jamie Lee Curtis in a neck-high, glittery Stella McCartney gown. Curtis announced that during the ceremony she will present a special tribute to late TV and movie icon Betty White, who passed away on Dec. 31, a couple of weeks shy of her 100th birthday.

"It felt like a perfect way to walk the walk and talk the talk." Saniyya Sidney, the young actress who portrayed tennis superstar Venus Williams in the Oscar-nominated biopic "King Richard," stunned in an Armani Prive gown embroidered with floral motifs.
