Oscars 2021: no real upsets but Chloé Zhao’s Nomadland triumph is a wonderful coup | Oscars 2021
[ad_1] So this strangest of years was matched with the strangest of Oscar ceremonies, a weirdly subdued and anticlimactic affair with an ending that had people more discombobulated than the final episode of The Sopranos. No central host, none of the usual deployment of clips, and then the evening finished with best actor instead of […]

Comfort food: the Oscars nominations are not nearly as radical as they think they are | Oscars 2021
[ad_1] As ever when the Oscar nominations are announced, there is a sense of mystery about the industry’s revealed groupthink, that consensus which is unveiled as solemnly as the half-time score at the Super Bowl.

[ad_1] The first awards season of the coronaviral era arrives in an anticlimactic world of presentations via Zoom, as if we’ve shuffled behind the curtain to see baubles handed out by the wizened wizard of Oz, minus the specialness. The prognosis for the Globes or the Oscars as live events is still uncertain. Best film […]
Fred Hampton was a radical revolutionary. Judas and the Black Messiah ignores that | Culture
[ad_1] The war to own the legacy of Fred Hampton, the charismatic Black Panther leader killed in his sleep at age 21 by Chicago law enforcement agents and the FBI, has begun.
