SOS messages, panic as virus breaks Indias health system – Fox News

NEW DELHI (AP) – Dr. Gautam Singh dreads the daily advent of the ventilator beeps, signaling that oxygen levels are critically low, and hearing his critically ill patients start gasping for air in the New Delhi emergency ward where he works. Like other doctors across the country, which on Monday set another record for new coronavirus infections for a fifth day in a row at more than 350,000, the cardiologist has taken to begging and borrowing cylinders of oxygen just to keep his most critical patients alive for one more day.

Elon Musk Saturday Night Live Hosting Controversy, Bowen Yang Diss – TVLine

Saturday Night Live‘s controversial decision to tap Elon Musk as one of its final Season 46 hosts is causing internal strife, with two cast members publicly slamming the move. As reported on Saturday, the polarizing Tesla CEO/SpaceX bigwig is set to emcee the May 8 episode alongside musical guest Miley Cyrus. The backlash on social media was swift — and Musk seemed to revel in the hullabaloo, cryptically tweeting, “Let’s find out just how live Saturday Night Live really is” — tacking on a devil emoji for good measure. The tweet prompted a rebuke from cast member Bowen Yang, who commented via Instastory, “What the f–k does that even mean?” Yang’s SNL co-star Andrew Dismukes, who became a featured player this season after serving as a writer on the show since 2017, also threw...

China censored social media posts about Chloé Zhao’s Oscar win – The Verge

The news of Chloé Zhao’s Oscar win for Best Director has been censored on social media and search engines in China at the direction of the country’s propaganda ministry, The Wall Street Journal reported. Zhao, who was born in Beijing, is the first Chinese woman and first woman of color to take home the Academy Award for directing. Nomadland also won Best Picture at Sunday night’s awards ceremony, and the movie’s star, Frances McDormand, won Best Actress. But according to the Journal, early messages congratulating Zhao had been scrubbed from Chinese social media sites by midday Monday, and searches on Chinese search engines Baidu and Sogou had few links to the Oscar news. There was no news about Zhao’s win on China Central Television, the Xinhua News Agency, or the Chinese Communist ...

Daniel Kaluuya mentioned his moms sex life in his Oscars speech. She was not impressed – CNN

The 32-year-old Briton won the best supporting actor Oscar for his role in biographical drama "Judas and the Black Messiah," and, like any good son, he decided his acceptance speech was the perfect opportunity to discuss his parents' sex life. "You got to celebrate life, man! We're breathing, walking, it's incredible. It's incredible. Like, it's incredible," he told the audience and the millions watching from home. "My mom met dad, they had sex. It's amazing." As the camera cut to his mother, Damalie Namusoke, in the Oscars audience at the BFI in London, her face showed confusion, fury and then sheer humiliation as she put he head in her hands. "I'm here. You know what I mean? I'm so happy to be alive," Kaluuya continued. "So, I'm going to celebrate that tonight... I appre...

Joan Collins says 93rd Academy Awards looked ‘very serious’: ‘It didn’t look like anybody was having much fun’ – Fox News

Joan Collins wasn’t a fan of this year’s Oscars. The 93rd Academy Awards was held in Los Angeles on Sunday night with socially distanced measures in place to ensure guests were safe during the coronavirus pandemic. The 87-year-old, who appeared on U.K.’s "Lorraine," said this year’s ceremony looked "very serious." "I thought it was incredibly different and quite rightly, not nearly as much fun as it had been," said the "Dynasty" icon, as quoted by The DailyMail on Monday. "It was very serious tonight, it didn’t look like anybody was having much fun, except the winners," said the actress.

Anthony Hopkins Accepts Oscar, Paying Tribute to Chadwick Boseman – The New York Times

About four hours after he won best actor at the 93rd Academy Awards in an upset, Anthony Hopkins delivered his acceptance in a video from Wales, taking a moment to acknowledge the actor who had been widely expected to win posthumously, Chadwick Boseman. “At 83 years of age I did not expect to get this award — I really didn’t,” said Hopkins, who won for his role as a patriarch struggling with dementia in “The Father.” On Sunday night, Hopkins became the oldest actor to win the award, almost three decades after his first Oscar win in the category, for “The Silence of the Lambs.” The award provided a strange ending to the ceremony. When Boseman was awarded a Golden Globe for best actor earlier this year, the emotional acceptance speech given by his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, was the ...

Colette Oscar win is a first for the video game industry – Engadget

The documentary short Colette won an Oscar last night, a first for the video game industry, and it took an unusual route to get there. The film was originally produced by Oculus Studios and EA's Respawn Entertainment as part of the first-person shooter VR game Medal of Honor: Above and Beyond. In keeping with Medal of Honor's historical accuracy aims, players can unlock short "Gallery" films (in a regular 2D format) about real-life World War II veterans as they progress through the game. Among those is a 24-minute piece on Colette Marin-Catherine. Directed by Anthony Giacchino, the film tells the story of Colette, who is now 90 years old and one of the last surviving French Resistance members. After the war she refused to set foot in Germany, but was eventually persuaded to do so by a y...

China Censors Chloé Zhao’s Oscar Win – The New York Times

Chloé Zhao’s historic Oscar win should have been met with jubilation in China, the country of her birth. On Sunday night, she became the first Chinese and woman of color to be named best director, for “Nomadland,” which also took home the prize for best picture. Instead, the Chinese government imposed a virtual news blackout, and censors moved to tamp down or scrub out discussion of the award on social media. Chinese state-run news media outlets — which are typically eager to celebrate recognition of its citizens on the global stage — made nearly no mention of the Oscars, let alone Ms. Zhao. Chinese social media platforms raced to delete or limit the circulation of articles and posts about the ceremony and Ms. Zhao, forcing many internet users and fans to use homonyms and wordplay to ev...
