Oscars 2016: Memorable Fashion Through the Years

Feb 29, 2016, 20:55

The protest, which will take place a few blocks south of the Dolby Theatre starting at 2 p.m., will be staged because no nominees of color were nominated for the four Oscar acting categories for the second consecutive year. A USC study released this week called Hollywood's lack of inclusion of people of color "an epidemic".

It's that time of the year again when movie buffs across the globe stay glued to their television screens to celebrate Hollywood's best. There are often tears amid acceptance speeches, but nobody has appeared as genuinely, adorably overwhelmed as 11-year-old Winnipeg native Anna Paquin when she won Best Supporting Actress for The Piano in 1994. So if you want to keep Rock's portion of the Oscars show a total surprise, best to stop reading here.

A-list black actors will give Oscars a miss: A long list of actors including Men In Black star Will Smith, Halle Berry, the only black woman to have won an Oscar (for the movie Monster's Ball), filmmaker Spike Lee, Jada Pinkett Smith, who started the hashtag #Oscarsowhite, will not be a part of the Oscars night.

Police Officer Shot, Killed Responding to Domestic Shooting
He allegedly shot and killed rookie officer and military veteran Ashley Guindon , who was among the first to pull up on scene. Inside the home, police found a woman shot to death and an 11-year-old, who was unharmed, Hudson said.

I just can imagine Chris Rock's opening remarks. Instead an Oscar scroll will run simultaneously for the winners to acknowledge their thank-you.

Hudlin said that Rock, 50, won't shy away from the controversy either.

The scroll is meant to encourage more thoughtful speeches that go beyond quickly listing off names of management teams and executives, so this year's Oscars could include far more interesting speeches than years past.

Google-style Kiddle search engine targets children
According to the company, when a child keys a query into the search bar, this tool will yield a few links related to the subject. A number of Twitter users have also reported their own unfortunate discoveries while using the site.

Motion Picture Academy President Cheryl Boone Isaacs said she expected nothing less from him this year. On Sunday, we will get to know if Leonardo will win his first Oscar or not.

"He ate a bison liver".

You're in luck as three of this year's Best Original Song nominees will perform - Lady Gaga will sing Til It Happens To You, while Sam Smith will sing the theme tune to the latest Bond film, Spectre, titled The Writing's On The Wall.

Warren Buffett sees a bright future for America
The railroad is part of Berkshire's "Powerhouse Five", a portfolio of the conglomerate's most profitable non-insurance companies. Its operating earnings climbed from $16.55 billion or$10,071 per Class A share to $17.35 billion or $10,564 per Class A share.

So even if Spotlight snags the Best Picture prize (here's hoping!) or if Fury Road's George Miller somehow manages to steal enough support from Iñárritu to win Best Director (fingers crossed), Rock's monologue is destined to be the highlight of the night - he will be a movie star calling out Hollywood from its most prized stage.
