So let's begin.

 

Ø Best Production Design

In this category, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Tenet, News of the World, Mank, The Father were nominated. The winner is Mank. For Mank, Donald Graham Burt (Production Design) & Jan Pascale (Set Decoration) won the award. Mank’s screenplay was originally written by Jack Fincher, David Fincher’s father. The movie is based on his screenplay. The film is set from 1940 to 1950 approximately. So the detail from that time we see in the film and that’s the stand out the point made them win the award.

In this category, Nomadland, Sound of Metal, The Father, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Promising Young Women were nominated. The winner is Sound of Metal. Mikkel E. G. Nielsen won the award for his work. The film is based on a drummer named Ruben who is losing hearing and it is becoming difficult for him.

Sergio Lopez-Rivera, Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson won the award for their work. Mia Neal and Jamika Wilson became the first Black winners in the Best Makeup and Hairstyling category.

In this category, Nomadland, Mank, News of the World, The Trial of the Chicago 7, Judas and the Black Messiah were nominated. The winner is Mank. Erik Messerschmidt got the award of best cinematographer. As I told you earlier it is a period drama which made it difficult but all these people made it possible and convincing news of the World starring Tom Hanks was also a great one and a good contender for the award.

 

Ø Best Visual Effects

In this category, Love and Monsters, The Midnight Sky, Tenet, The One and only Ivan, Mulan were nominated. The winner is Tenet. Scott R. Fisher, Andrew Jackson, David Lee and Andrew Lockley got the award for their work. Christopher Nolan’s movie never disappoints us with its overall mind-bending film. Their effects in the film are mind-boggling. Disney’s The One and Only Ivan and Dylan O’Brian starring Love and Monsters also had great visual effects but Tenet got the better hand.

Ø Best Animated Short Film

In this category, Burrow, Opera, If Anything Happens I Love You, Yes People, Genius Loci were nominated. The winner is If Anything Happens I Love You. The short film is based on grieving parents who lost their daughter in a shooting in the school. It is a very emotional movie to watch which brings tears to your eyes.

The White Tiger which is based on Aravind Adiga’s same-name novel was also a strong contender for the award.

The film is based on the betrayal of Fred Hampton who was chairman of the Illinois chapter of the Black Panther Party in late-1960s Chicago, at the hands of FBI informer William O’Neal. Lesile Odom Jr. played the character of Sam Crooke very efficiently. Sam Crooke was known as “King of Soul” because he was one of the most influential soul artists of all time.

Everyone who was nominated gave their best performance.

The film revolves around a middle school music teacher Joe Gardner, who seeks to reunite his soul and his body after they are accidentally separated. Soul is the first Pixar film to feature an African- American protagonist. Shaun the Sheep is you know a great cartoon and the film is just like the cartoon great.

 

Ø Best Actor

In this category, Chadwick Boseman for Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Gary Oldman For Mank, Steven Yeun for Minari, Anthony Hopkins for The Father, Riz Ahmed for Sound of Metal was nominated. The winner is Anthony Hopkins as Anthony from The Father. He became the oldest person to win the award in this category. Riz Ahmed is the first Muslim man to get nominated in the best actor category for his role in the ‘Sound Of Metal’. He is also the first person of Pakistan-origin who got nominated in an acting category. Steven Yeun also became the first Asian-American to be nominated in this category. This year’s ceremony ended with this category and I thought the award was going to Chadwick Boseman but that didn’t happen.

 

This year’s Oscars saw the lowest-ever viewings with a 58% drop from the previous year's viewings. Total 9.85 million viewers watched this year compared to 23.6 million from the last year. Not only Oscars but Golden Globe and Grammy also saw dipped in the viewings as 6.9 million and 9.3 million viewers watched it respectively.

The Past, Present & Future of Behavioral Trends on social media

  Social media is a term that came in 35 years ago. It took a while for people get to interested in social media. The term “social media” refers to ‘websites and applications used for social networking. Today in the world ten out of eight are using social media. It took a while for people to get into social media but now it's inseparable from them. “Phone phreaking” is the oldest form of social media. People began using it in the 1950s.

Late Monsoon Captures Mumbai Again

  Late Monsoon Captures Mumbai Again Today overnight rain halted the life of Mumbai. This is not the first time this happened to Mumbai. Rather than this is new normal to Mumbaikers because they see this every year. I think Mumbai is not awake from the horrors of 26th July 2005. You all might think it’s 16 years ago and now we are way beyond it. From Nokia 1100 to iPhone 12 we all are now ahead of life. Well, you might be ahead but your Drainage System is not. Mumbai has a British-era Drainage System. Yes, you read it right. It is not from the previous government or some party’s work. So now you have to blame the British for this.

The Walk

The feeling was of fear yet happiness, like a mixed juice. I have a daily route for my walk. I start my walking from my society gate towards Deepak Stores, where I meet my ‘not so serious about health’ friends who come to walk just to eat Deepak’s samosas. After greeting them I go to Rajmal Road. I like this road and walking on it. The road is never filled with honks of vehicles and gossips of humans. Four to five people you will see on the road hardly. I go there and listen to my favourite Kishore Kumar songs. Listening to these songs always makes me young and romantic. Sunita said yesterday, “These evening walks are making you my Sharukh Khan. Your romance is beating Bollywood, Dinesh”. After five rounds I had that feeling again. Just like when I got out of the gate. This feeling and why it is coming. I started to panic and when I looke...
