Oscars response to Will Smith slap inadequate, academy head says
The slap sat front and centre at February 13’s Oscar nominees luncheon. So much so that motion picture academy president Janet Yang neither had to describe it nor say the names Will Smith or Chris Rock for the ballroom full of award hopefuls to know what she was talking about when she aired her regrets. “I’m sure you all remember we experienced an unprecedented event at the Oscars,” Ms. Yang told…

Last night, the company and audience of Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club celebrated Broadway legend Joel Grey’s 92nd birthday on stage at the August Wilson Theatre.

During his speech honoring Grey, Eddie Redmayne said, “Tonight is an extraordinarily special night for us because we are in the presence of an extraordinary human being without whom none of us would be here.” After thunderous applause, Redmayne continued “Your performance in this part changed my life and it was one of the things that made me want to be an actor.”
The cast and Grey were also joined on stage by Cabaret composer John Kander.
Alongside Joel’s daughter Jennifer Grey and Kander, a star-studded crowd came out to fete the theater icon including Anderson Cooper, Candice Bergen, Jackie Hoffman, Jane Krakowski, Lin-Manuel Miranda, David Rockwell, and more. They were joined by numerous alum of Cabaret spanning the decades including Maude Apatow (Sally Bowles in London, 2023), Madeline Brewer (Sally Bowles in London, 2022), Joely Fisher (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2000), Gina Gershon (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2001), Mason Alexander Park (Emcee in London, 2023), Adam Pascal (Emcee on Broadway, 2003), Molly Ringwald (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2002), Jake Shears (Emcee in London, 2023), and Brooke Shields (Sally Bowles on Broadway, 2001).

In honor of John Williams' 92nd Birthday, here are my top five favorite musical moments from his very long career.
These are in no particular order.
youtube
It was really difficult to pick just one piece of music from the entire SW saga...I almost picked Yoda and the Force...but there's something about this one that just tugs at my heartstrings...there's just that little touch of melancholy, which is deeply felt when this theme is reused in The Last Jedi.
youtube
I mean...this is way too iconic not to include. Sticking with those low bass notes and low brass just brings the biggest sense of dread, it's almost unrelenting and there's no way to escape what's under the water.
youtube
Man, does this one give me so much nostalgia. In many ways, this feels like one of John Williams' more underrated scores, and if you haven't listened to it in a while, check it out! There are moments of pure epic adventure, like in it's main theme, which gets you pumped up for sword fights and flying. But there are a couple of really haunting moments from the score before we journey to Neverland.
youtube
Time for something a bit different! One of John Williams' first film scores, and it is so different from what we normally hear from him! Particularly this little ditty...this is when Simon and Nicole are locked in the closet and he schemes to get the key from the other side of the wall. Every time I hear it, I can't help but dance a little in my seat! Also, this was apparently used in the movie Ted? That's what half the comments for this video reference....
youtube
And finally...I'm kinda cheating with this one, but I love it too much to not include it. While Williams' didn't technically write this music, he did do all the orchestrations for the film (and wrote this massive violin solo, which does not appear in the stage play), and ended up creating one of my favorite opening credit sequences of all time...and also won him his first of his five Academy Awards!
Happy Birthday, John Williams!!

hikari’s commission
i have come back from the dead to drop the final chapter (i skipped all the middle ones lol) of renaissance, my totsuki legacies headcanon babies or whatever. feat arato-hayama daughter and nakiri-yukihira daughter mostly
“It’s about time I redesigned Legislation,” Kaede said through the pencil between her teeth, her broad draftbook propped open on her knees. “This looks absolutely horrendous.” She was sitting on the decadent rug in Hikari’s office at Administration wearing boardshorts and one of Hikari’s crop tanks with old sketches of Totsuki’s current Legislation building spread around her.
Hikari sighed resignedly. “So you’ve said.”
Dropping the pencil to her lap, Kaede closed her draftbook and said, “I’ll have blueprints for you by next week. But that’s not important right now. Hikari, what’s wrong?”
“Why would something be wrong?” asked the chef. “Other than the fact that I forgot your 18th fucking birthday two months ago.”
Kaede rolled her eyes. “Since when have you ever remembered my birthday? You’re wearing a shirt with sleeves. There is most definitely something wrong.” She set aside her drafting materials and scooted over next to Hikari. “I know you only called me here to talk. If this was an actual commission, the current fourth seat would’ve contacted me. Did you even tell Eissan that you’re diving into Totsuki’s budget? He’ll go loopy if the monthly statement doesn’t match his record books.”
“Oh, yeah. About that. I’m not really on speaking terms with him right now.”
Kaede blanched. “Eh?”
All traces of her typical badass nature lost to the winds, Hikari rested her head against Kaede’s shoulder. “I broke up with him.” 
Fuck.
There wasn’t anything she could say that would give justice to the overwhelming gravity of the statement, so Kaede pulled Hikari closer and held her in silence for a long while.
“So… you mind telling me what happened?”
“Nothing, actually. I realized I don’t want to narrow my field of vision just because he seems like the right person… right now. What was it you said? Better to break his heart now rather than later when he’s too far in.”
“Yeah.”
“I don’t want Seiya to not be in my life.”
Kaede smiled gently and shifted to face her. They were both cross-legged and their knees were touching. “Of course. But it’s going to take a while for Eissan to realize he can’t call you his girlfriend anymore. You have to give him his grace period. But don’t linger.”
“Of course not,” Hikari replied, leaning back on her elbows. “I don’t change my mind.”
“I know you don’t.”
“I don’t mean to pry, but I just want to know… why did you and Tsukasa break up?”
At this the architect gave Hikari a long look, her heterochromatic eyes suddenly full of recollections. “We were incompatible,” Kaede replied finally, and her voice was clipped.
“You must’ve hurt him pretty bad,” Hikari said, knowing this girl only spoke like that when she was feeling regret.
“Yeah.”
It occurred to Kaede then that she would give up any commission to see Hikari. She’d choose this silver haired chef with a mutant nose over the New York Times, the prime minister of Finland, the governor of California, a thousand awards and infinite accolades. Every day, any day, she would come back for Arato-Hayama Hikari the second she called.
“You’re thinking aloud again,” Hikari chuckled.
“Shut up.”
“Would you really, though?”
“What?”
“Give up your work for me.”
Kaede gave her a look and remained silent for a long moment. “Of course.”
At this, Hikari sat up and leaned forward. “And what if I told you I want you around all the time?”
“Then… I guess I would stay.” 
-
If Kaede had been a chef, tonight would’ve been her gradfest. Following the graduation ceremony in the morning, the legacies of Totsuki’s 90, 91, and 92nd generations were now gathered in the ballroom of Nakiri Mansion with their parents to celebrate the end of another era of jewels at the academy.
Despite their typical inclinations to network and hold court, Kaede and Hikari hovered in the periphery of the area, staying within a few meters of the bar. 
There was something different between them — it was foreign but not unwelcome. Something passionate, vibrant, and utterly charged.
Hikari looked up at Kaede over her champagne flute. She was wrapping up a conversation with Erina and Hisako about designing a building for their first joint venture because seriously what the fuck had taken them so long. Her strawberry blonde hair was tied in a high ponytail, her angular face framed with loose strands. God, her eyes. The light from the chandeliers overhead glanced off those dangerous panes of glass, more electric than lightning. 
“Is it weird,” Hikari asked the three of them once the flow of words had more or less stagnated, “that I find my childhood best friend ridiculously attractive? Like… hella fucking cute?”
Kaede frowned, and for a second Hikari thought she registered a flicker of disappointment in her eyes. “I mean, not really. He’s gorgeous. Isn’t he taken, though?”
“Sorry?”
Erina said, “I thought he was dating Marui Sena.”
“Aren’t you talking about Auden?” Hisako asked.
Hikari shook her head. “I’m not talking about him.”
Kaede finished off her mimosa and gave an eyebrow raise. “Who is this childhood friend? Do I need to interrogate someone to make sure they deserve you?”
“I’ll help,” Hisako put in. “Private Investigator Arato is a little rusty but back in business.”
Without another word, before she could register the fact that everyone — their parents included — was watching them, Hikari leaned in and kissed Yukihira Kaede.
It was a fucking war. Blazing, intense.
And yet it was like the ripples in a pond. Quiet, serene.
Hikari noted with moderate amusement that Kaede was one hell of a good kisser. Whether this was due to her inherited god tongue was up to debate, but she had no time to wonder because it hit her then that Kaede was kissing her back. She set down her flute and swiveled to pin the architect against the bar, threading her fingers through her hair, closing a distance between them that did not exist. It was rare for Arato-Hayama Hikari to be more in tune with her tongue than her nose, but Kaede’s lips were warm and soft, sweet and salty at the same time, rendering everything else insignificant. Spices, mint, champagne.
When they finally came up for air, Kaede’s eyes were glazed over, the flaring purple and amber lights dimmed to a glossy ambience. But then she blinked and her expression cleared, and she commented drily, “I guess no vicious interrogation session?”
Hikari smirked as Kaede placed her glass down with all the acute precision that her occupation demanded.
“Hayama, what if I break your heart?”
“You won’t, Nakiri,” she replied, and then she kissed the architect again, ignoring their mothers’ ecstatic whooping and the congratulatory racket of everyone else in the ballroom. And that was more than enough.
This was the renaissance of emotions they’d tamped down— 
No, that wasn’t it. That wasn’t it at all.
This was genesis.

Global Movie Day
Global Movie Day is celebrated on the second Saturday of February every year, to coincide with the Oscar season. This year, it takes place on February 11. This day was established to celebrate the power of movies and their capacity to inspire and move people, and transform lives. Global Movie Day offers people an opportunity to celebrate movies and catch up on the latest movie releases. Set in the thick of Oscar season, the date is perfect for movie buffs to come together to watch and discuss the latest movies. This allows them to bond over their shared love of good stories told on celluloid!
History of Global Movie Day
Global Movie Day is celebrated on the second Saturday of February every year. This day was established by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences so movie-lovers around the world could celebrate their favorite movies. The Academy also wanted to offer people the opportunity to take one day to come together and discuss movies with the Academy as well as other movie buffs. A special day set aside for movies gives people an opportunity to revisit classics, rewatch their favorite films and catch up on the latest releases.
Setting the day in the midst of Oscar season was deliberately done to encourage people to participate in the excitement surrounding the Oscar-nominated films as well as the best releases of the year.
Movies are a visual art form that uses a series of live-action photographs. These are then presented in sequence at the rate of 24 frames per second. Because of a phenomenon called a “persistence of vision,” the pictures appear to move to the human eye.
The movie industry in the United States, commonly referred to as Hollywood, has an enormous influence on the film industry. American cinema has been historically a leading force in the industry and is considered to be the oldest film industry.
Today, films use sophisticated cameras as well as advanced computer graphics and software to tell stories in interesting ways. As people consume media via different platforms, movies are being seen as yet another type of ‘content’, which is transforming the way producers and consumers look at storytelling.

Maggie Gyllenhaal's Jaw-dropping Oscars 2023 Acceptance Speech Goes Viral - Find Out Why
Tumblr media
In 2023, executive producers of the show Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner stopped with that nonsense and finally leaned in on what the Academy Awards should all be about: A celebration of the year in cinema. 
This is not a new phenomenon. We said in our 2016 review that producers seemed to forget about that celebration of movies. 
In 2020, just ahead of the global shutdown, for the 92nd Academy Awards, we said the ceremony featured funny and memorable moments, but that it didn’t always pass the logic test: Most of the ceremony moved along smoothly with no host, but I can’t help wonder if a Master of Ceremonies would bring some well-needed glue to create one cohesive show.
