Speaking with heartfelt admiration as I stood before you all, I, an ardent admirer and fortunate collaborator, had the privilege of sharing the screen with my esteemed friend and double Oscar-winning colleague, Hackman, in Under Suspicion and Unforgiven. Truly, he was a marvel to work alongside.

As an overjoyed admirer, I couldn’t contain my excitement as Clement Ducol, Camille, and Jacques Audiard, the emotional winners, claimed their well-deserved award for their enchanting song, “El Mal.” However, the ambiance shifted abruptly when, in a surprising turn of events, Camille broke into an off-key rendition during her speech’s closing moments.

At 7 pm Eastern Time and 4 pm Pacific Time on Sunday, March 2nd, Conan O’Brien took charge of the 97th Academy Awards ceremony, which was attended by the brightest celebrities from Hollywood at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California.

At the recent award show on Sunday, the 42-year-old actor successfully collected all awards in the Best Supporting Actor category for his outstanding performance in “A Real Pain,” a film by Jesse Eisenberg.

If you’re someone who loves movies but have been out of the loop lately, I must share some intriguing news: The Broccoli family, known for managing the James Bond film series for years, recently transferred complete creative control to Amazon, receiving a substantial payment in return. This move has led to quite a stir, especially since it prompted the Oscars to pay tribute to the Broccolis. Interestingly, Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson were honored with the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award last November. However, this tribute to 007 felt a bit unusual.

In this discussion, we establish the mood for the episode titled “The Interpretation of Dreams.” Throughout the series, recurring themes such as fires, tsunamis, and the mysteries of the subconscious mind are prevalent. However, this week’s most significant and heavily symbolic element is the frequent appearance of snakes. The residents of White Lotus Ko Samui seem unusually preoccupied with these creatures, and one couple even has a close encounter that adds an unsettling layer to this already tense show. Additionally, another major theme of the episode, the black-and-white contrast of good versus evil, complements well with the season’s broader exploration of Western characters immersed in Eastern spirituality.

Tonight’s Oscars have been packed with groundbreaking achievements. In a night filled with numerous competitive categories, the winners such as the crew behind “Flow”, the costume designer for “Wicked”, and Zoe Saldaña from “Emilia Pérez” all made history by becoming the first recipients of their respective awards at this ceremony when their names were announced to receive their Oscars.

In my opinion, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande truly outshone as they took on the iconic number “Defying Gravity.” Their performance wasn’t just a reenactment; it was a tribute to the cinematic adaptations of the beloved tale, The Wizard of Oz. Ariana’s rendition of “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” was as enchanting as the original, while Cynthia delivered an electrifying performance of “Home” from The Wiz. A captivating blend of old and new, their performances left me breathless.

At the event held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Gascón, aged 52, seemed uneasy in her chair as O’Brien made a string of comments concerning the uproar caused by Gascón’s past tweets that had recently come to light, sparking controversy.

At a major awards event in Hollywood, the 29-year-old rapper famously recognized for her work, daringly performed Shirley Bassey’s iconic anthem. However, her interpretation of the 1971 classic drew criticism. She shared the stage with Lisa, aged 37, who sang Live and Let Die, as well as Raye, 27, who delivered Skyfall.
