Podcasts about Dolby Theatre

This week on GameBurst, the team digs into a packed fortnight for the industry, from blockbuster release confirmations to hardware surprises and the ongoing turbulence reshaping the games business. Rockstar's Grand Theft Auto VI remains firmly on course for its 19 November 2026 launch, with Take-Two's Strauss Zelnick confirming a summer marketing push — and developers moving swiftly to quash viral rumours of a third delay. Meanwhile, Playground Games has confirmed that its long-anticipated Fable reboot will arrive simultaneously on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5 and PC this autumn, breaking the franchise's historically Xbox-exclusive heritage and landing on Game Pass from day one. Two notable releases hit shelves this week: Capcom's sci-fi action title Pragmata and Nintendo's life simulator Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream, both landing after years of anticipation. Nintendo also continues to build momentum around the Switch 2, with a Handheld Boost Mode update now enabling original Switch titles to run at 1080p in portable play, and Pokémon Champions dominating the eShop charts since its 8 April debut. Summer Game Fest 2026 is confirmed for 5 June at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, with Geoff Keighley also announcing the return of Play Days and a new trade event, The Game Business Live. And in hardware news, UK outfit Blaze Entertainment has unveiled the Evercade Nexus — its most ambitious handheld yet — featuring a 5.89-inch IPS screen, dual analogue sticks, wireless multiplayer, and a bundled Banjo-Kazooie Double Pack, priced at £169.99 and due in October. On a more sobering note, Ubisoft has announced a significant corporate restructuring, with further cuts at its Paris headquarters. The news arrives against a backdrop of continued industry-wide contraction, with a Newzoo/GDC survey finding around 28% of developers had been laid off in recent times. For picks of the week: Gary spotlights board game 1822: The Railways of Great Britain and Thomas & Friends: Wonders of Sodor; Jerome recommends The Rogue Prince of Persia and the Murderbot TV show on Apple TV; and Taylor highlights the Evercade VS-R alongside the excellent YouTube channel of Kim Justice. #gameburst YouTube links: Kim Justice: https://www.youtube.com/@Kim_Justice

Then, they cover 15 2026 movies they have yet to discuss on the show this year, and share their top five favorite films of the year so far (19:04). Finally, Sean is joined by BenDavid Grabinski to discuss his new film, ‘Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice,' as well as his long and arduous journey to directing his own material, what it's actually like to pitch your movie, and why he needs to creatively collaborate with people who genuinely love movies (1:45:52).

Tim Conway Jr Show Hour 3 (3.27) Tim Conway Jr. checks in on Southern California’s beautiful weather with rain on the way and talks about the Oscars leaving the Dolby Theatre for the L.A. Live complex in 2029. Then the crew dives into hilarious audio of a woman trying to deny she was driving during a Zoom court appearance while talking to a judge, along with a disturbing story about painful eye-biting flies invading foothill communities in the San Gabriel Valley. Tim also covers the rising cost of scrotoplasty, Paul McCartney’s new album at age 83, a Sherman Oaks toy store getting vandalized twice in one week, and the deadly tourist helicopter crash on Kauai. To top it off, Conway asks AI whether tourist helicopters put extra stress on aircraft components — and gets a very unsettling answer. #TimConwayJr #SoCalWeather #Oscars #ZoomCourt #SanGabrielValley #PaulMcCartney #ShermanOaks #Kauai #HelicopterCrash #AINews See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Min 5: LOS OSCARS DEL 8 DE LUCHINI Acertamos en el pronóstico de los Goya, con un 10 de 10, y nuestro Alberto Luchini cumple la promesa de sacarse la espinita en los Oscars con 8 aciertos de 10 en una gala que dejó sorpresas y decisiones difíciles de entender. Analizamos el reparto de premios en la noche de "Una batalla tras otra" y de Paul Thomas Anderson Min 17: LA AMARGA NAVIDAD DE ALMODÓVAR CONTRA UN TORRENTE DESENCADENADO En plena fiebre de "Torrente, presidente", con más de un millón de espectadores en su primer fin de semana, irrumpe el último y esperado trabajo de Pedro Almodóvar. El cineasta manchego retoma el espíritu de Dolor y Gloria para explorar las luces y las sombras del proceso creativo y construye un puzzle complejo en el que se mezclan realidad y ficción en su película más autocrítica. División de opiniones en un Filtro Luchini en el que Alberto Luchini y Roberto Lancha se muestran más exigentes con el último trabajo de Almodóvar, emergiendo Raquel Hernández como la abogada de la defensa. Valoramos el éxito en taquilla de un "Torrente, presidente" que tendrá que compartir los honores del fin de semana con Amarga Navidad y analizamos y puntuamos otros estrenos como las francesas "Una hija en Tokyo" o "Elegir una vida" o la propuesta de terror canadiense "Whistle". Min 58: ESPECIAL BSO, PECADORES DE ÓSCAR Y 10 AÑOS DE YOUR NAME En El diván de la música de cine hoy disfrutamos por partida triple. Para empezar, celebramos el más que merecido Oscar a la Mejor Banda Sonora para Los Pecadores. Y qué mejor manera de hacerlo que escuchando la poderosa interpretación en directo que ofreció Miles Caton del tema central, Te mentí, desde el Dolby Theatre de Los Ángeles. Después, invitamos a Ángel Luque a sumarse a otra celebración: el 10.º aniversario y el regreso a los cines de la joya de la animación japonesa Your Name, con la inolvidable banda sonora del grupo RADWIMPS. Y como colofón, disfrutamos de la versión en directo de la canción que se llevó el Oscar a Mejor Canción Original, también con sello asiático, interpretada por las guerreras del K-Pop, auténticas cazadoras de demonios.

It's almost the weekend and with the Academy Awards having just passed some of us might be itching to hit up the nearest cinema. A photo of the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles taken right after the latest Oscar's ceremony has sparked debate online about theatre etiquette and cleanliness. So what are the do's and don'ts when attending a show or a movie? Checkpoint producer Johnny Sutherland spoke to Lisa Owen.

O OSCAR 2026 FOI JUSTO? | Análise Completa dos Vencedores | NerdebateA poeira baixou no Dolby Theatre e o Nerdebate chega para passar a limpo tudo o que rolou na 98ª edição do Oscar! Julia Paula 'Dell', Allan Nicol e Luiz Felipe Santos debatem os resultados de uma noite dominada pelo épico de Paul Thomas Anderson e pelo terror recordista de Ryan Coogler.Foi o ano de Uma Batalha Após a Outra, que levou 6 estatuetas, incluindo Melhor Filme e Direção. Mas o debate pega fogo quando falamos de Pecadores: Michael B. Jordan confirmou o favoritismo, mas será que as 16 indicações resultaram em vitórias à altura? E claro, o coração brasileiro ficou apertado: analisamos a passagem de O Agente Secreto e Wagner Moura pela cerimônia e o que faltou para o nosso "visto" na estatueta dourada.

Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 3 (3.16) Recollections from Mark of his heady days working in the paradise that is... Buffalo, New York! Meanwhile, vehicles in Hollywood were being towed due to Academy Award street closures. But half a mile from Dolby Theatre? That seems a little excessive and restrictive. And not very neighborly. There's a bear in there! That is, in the KTLA news report, when the black bear snuck up on the field reporter Erin Myers as she was filming a piece... on a bear attack. Luckily, no newscasters were harmed in the making of this report. Talking tragedy with Timmy! He recalls the time when he was six months old and received a blood transfusion, with a 50-50 chance of survival. Thank heavens for the invention of the ultrasound! Tim lived long enough to see his good friend Mark Thompson receive a YouTube show. We get down with some Charlie Fox tunes to round out the hour — and what tunes they are! Also, why is Jane Fonda beefing with Barbra Streisand, and what’s it got to do with Robert Redford? As the heat is rising, the snowpack is melting and causing a premature end to the Cali snow season.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We dive into the deep and wild story around the cancellation of the Buffy the Vampire Slayer continuation. Also so many Oscar leftovers including Teyanna Taylor vs Security, Jacob Elordi the Life of the Party and the audience left the Dolby Theatre a MESS! Also the story of a Baywatch star getting arrested for freeing Beagles.

Oscarnatta 2026 er over, og vi tar en kort runde med årets utgave. Tommy og Hedvig kommer med reaksjoner etter utdelingen i Dolby Theatre, hvor Joachim Triers «Affeksjonsverdi» tok prisen for beste utenlandske film, og «One Battle After Another»  vant beste film og ble den største vinneren.

Más de 2 millones de votantes están llamados a las urnas en las elecciones de Castilla y León, con una participación del 36,9 % a las dos de la tarde y una jornada que se desarrolla con normalidad en más de 4.400 mesas electorales. La guerra en Oriente Próximo alcanza su día 16 con nuevos ataques entre Irán e Israel, bombardeos en Líbano, tensión en el estrecho de Ormuz y más presión política en Estados Unidos tras la muerte de soldados estadounidenses. El Gobierno español ha decidido reubicar a los militares desplegados en Irak dentro de la misión internacional contra Daesh para garantizar su seguridad ante la escalada del conflicto con Irán. La guerra también impacta en la de Ucrania, donde Volodímir Zelenski ofrece compartir tecnología militar contra drones a cambio de financiación y apoyo en un momento de menor atención internacional. La subida del precio del combustible por la guerra empieza a afectar a transportistas, agricultores, ganaderos y pescadores, que reclaman ayudas urgentes al Gobierno ante el encarecimiento del gasóleo y los fertilizantes. El mundo de la cultura despide a la actriz Gema Cuervo, fallecida a los 91 años, con una trayectoria de más de seis décadas en teatro, cine y televisión.

Para quem é apaixonado por cinema, o Oscar sempre cria uma atmosfera especial — e quando o Brasil entra na disputa, a expectativa ganha contornos de final de Copa do Mundo. A RFI conversou com Rodrigo Salem, jornalista radicado em Los Angeles e membro do Critics' Choice, associação de críticos responsável por um dos prêmios mais influentes da indústria, que analisou as categorias em que brasileiros podem conquistar uma estatueta. Cleide Klock, correspondente da RFI em Los Angeles Enquanto Hollywood prepara o tapete vermelho no Dolby Theatre, onde a cerimônia do Oscar é realizada, o público brasileiro está atento a cada previsão e a cada análise, como quem acompanha a escalação da Seleção antes de uma decisão. Grupos online viram arquibancada, redes sociais se transformam em mesa-redonda e a pergunta é sempre a mesma: será que vem mais uma estatueta para o Brasil? Essa não seria qualquer conquista. Se acontecer, o país pode viver um feito histórico: ser "bicampeão" com o gostinho de ganhar por dois anos consecutivos. No ano passado, o Brasil celebrou a vitória de “Ainda Estou Aqui”, que marcou a primeira estatueta do Brasil em 97 anos de festa. Agora, em 2026, o cinema brasileiro volta com mais força: quatro indicações importantes de “O Agente Secreto” e uma campanha que permanece forte desde o último Festival de Cannes. Wagner Moura na corrida de Melhor Ator Wagner Moura já faz história só pelo fato de ser indicado na categoria de Melhor Ator, algo inédito no Brasil. Se levar a estatueta, ele será o segundo latino-americano a ganhar o prêmio. A primeira vez foi há 75 anos, com o portoriquenho José Ferrer (Cyrano de Bergerac). No entanto, Rodrigo Salem não acredita que o ator baiano seja o favorito. “Tem a minha torcida, mas quem está realmente na frente para esse prêmio é o Michael B. Jordan”, diz Rodrigo Salem, referindo-se ao protagonista de "Pecadores". O artista americano ganhou força após receber o prêmio no Sindicato dos Atores (SAG). Paralelamente, Timothée Chalamet, de “Marty Supreme”, inicialmente apontado como o principal candidato ao prêmio, perdeu o Bafta para Robert Aramayo. Com isso, a disputa ganhou um elemento inesperado: abriu espaço para possíveis surpresas. Para Salem, com essa dinâmica, Wagner Moura, Leonardo DiCaprio ("Uma Batalha Após a Outra") e Ethan Hawke ("Blue Moon"), ganham força. "Existe um certo ar de que tudo pode acontecer nessa categoria. É difícil, mas não é impossível, como era há dois meses que todo mundo falava que o Timothée ganharia fácil. Então, foi bom o que aconteceu porque abriu um pouco mais e deixou um pouquinho mais emocionante uma cerimônia que tem tudo para ser sem surpresas e meio chata", avalia. O Agente Secreto e as apostas brasileiras Além da indicação de Wagner Moura, “O Agente Secreto” concorre em outras três categorias: Melhor Filme, Melhor Filme Internacional e Melhor Seleção de Elenco. Na principal modalidade da noite, a disputa deve se concentrar entre dois títulos, diz Salem. "Acho que esse duelo já está meio estabelecido que vai ser entre 'Pecadores' e 'Uma Batalha Após a Outra', com favoritismo para esse último." Na categoria Melhor Seleção de Elenco, o jornalista afirma que seria "uma boa alternativa" conceder o prêmio para o Brasil, mas pondera: "eu tenho uma teoria de que as pessoas que não votarem em 'Pecadores' para Melhor Filme vão votar nele para Melhor Seleção de Elenco. Por isso, segundo Salem, "O Agente Secreto" não tem tantas chances quanto "Pecadores" para vencer essa estatueta. A melhor chance brasileira A categoria em que o Brasil aparece mais forte é a de Melhor Filme internacional. O principal adversário é o norueguês “Valor Sentimental”, que acumula impressionantes nove indicações, além de contar uma história sobre um diretor de cinema, o que sensibiliza muitos votantes. Ainda assim, muitos analistas acreditam que o filme não conseguiu criar a mesma conexão emocional com os membros da Academia e essa categoria seria a de maior chance do Brasil levar um Oscar para casa. “Eu não sinto que a campanha de 'Valor Sentimental' engrenou aqui. Por mais que tenha nove indicações, é muita coisa para um filme internacional. Mas eu acho que é um filme muito frio", observa Salem. Segundo o jornalista, o longa de Kleber Mendonça Filho fez uma campanha estratégica. “Acredito que isso esteja valendo muito mais a pena hoje em dia no cinema: você ter um filme inesperado, que te leva para situações ou lugares que você normalmente não vê em uma série de TV ou em um filme hollywoodiano", diz. Adolpho Veloso e a corrida pela fotografia O diretor de fotografia brasileiro Adolpho Veloso concorre ao Oscar por seu trabalho em “Sonhos de Trem”, de Clint Bentley, um filme intimista que começou pequeno, sem pretensão de se tornar um gigante da temporada de premiações. O longa acabou conquistando espaço pela força e delicadeza de sua estética. Durante boa parte da corrida, muita gente acreditava que o prêmio de melhor fotografia iria para a primeira mulher negra indicada nesta categoria, Autumn Durald Arkapaw, pelo trabalho em “Pecadores”. O filme acumulou troféus importantes e parecia consolidado na liderança. Mas, nas últimas semanas, “Uma Batalha Após a Outra”, com direção de fotografia de Michael Bauman, venceu prêmios dentro da própria indústria. Para Salem, esse é o grande favorito.  “É muito difícil que ele perca pelo fato de ter vencido já a associação dos diretores de fotografia e de ter ganhado outros prêmios mais relativos à própria indústria. Agora, eu diria que está resolvido? Não. Eu vejo ainda que o Adolpho tem boas chances", avalia. A cerimônia do Oscar acontece neste domingo (15) e tem início às 20 horas pelo horário de Brasília.

Bienvenidos a este "Extra" de Cinefilia y Otras Hierbas. Cine,televisión, música y videojuegos para escuchar. Soy su anfitrión, José Enrique Guzmán. Faltan apenas horas para que Hollywood se detenga y nosotros no podíamos quedarnos callados.Hoy estamos haciendo algo diferente. Por primera vez en la historia de nuestro podcast, lanzamos un micro-episodio especial dedicado exclusivamente a la gran noche de la Academia. Es un formato nuevo, más directo, casi un susurroal oído antes de que se abran los sobres, y les confieso algo: la idea es que esto no sea una excepción. Queremos que de ahora en adelante, cada gran evento cinematográfico tenga su dosis de "hierbas" rápidas y concisas. Así que, amigos, bienvenidos a esta nueva tradición.Hablemos del 2025. Vaya año para el cine. Si algo nos han demostrado las 10 películas nominadas a Mejor Película es que la industria finalmente respira a pleno pulmón. Siento, y espero que ustedes también, que el golpe seco que significó la pandemia para las salas ya ha quedado atrás. El 2025 no fuesolo el año de las secuelas, fue el año donde los autores recuperaron el presupuesto y el público recuperó la butaca. Ver esta lista es ver una diversidad de géneros y ambiciones que no veíamos en mucho tiempo.Mañana, domingo 15 de marzo, el Dolby Theatre de Los Ángeles volverá a ser el centro del mundo. La ceremonia número 98 de los Oscars promete ser un espectáculo denostalgia y modernidad, con Conan O'Brien repitiendo comoanfitrión por segundo año consecutivo. Como dato curioso, este año la Academia ha introducido por primera vez el premio a Mejor Casting, reconociendo finalmente la labor de quienes arman el rompecabezas humano de cada historia.Pero vamos a lo que nos quema: la quiniela. La dinámica será simple: "Quién debería ganar" (mi corazón cinéfilo) vs. "Quién va a ganar" (mi cabeza analítica). Analizaremos las 10 nominadas a Mejor Película y mis predicciones para casi todas las categorías. Me disculparán, pero dejaré fuera los documentales y cortos porque, siendo honesto, no llegué a verlos todos y aquí no mentimos.Preparen su café o su copa de vino. Es hora de hablar de estatuillas.Patreon: patreon.com/cinefiliayotrashierbas⁠Correo: cinefiliayotrashierbas@gmail.com No olviden suscribirse, compartir este episodio y dejar un comentario y un like, eso nos ayudará a crecer y a encontrar más audiencia.¡Que lo disfruten! #CinefiliaYOtrasHierbas #Oscars2026 #Sinners #OneBattle#Hamnet #PodcastDeCine #Quiniela #QuienGanara

Para Salem, esse é o grande favorito.  “É muito difícil que ele perca pelo fato de ter vencido já a associação dos diretores de fotografia e de ter ganhado outros prêmios mais relativos à própria indústria. Agora, eu diria que está resolvido? Não. Eu vejo ainda que o Adolpho tem boas chances", avalia. A cerimônia do Oscar acontece neste domingo (15) e tem início às 20 horas pelo horário de Brasília.

It's Awards Season yet again. Here on the Holmes Movies Podcast that means, it is time for the Alternative Oscars episodes! AKA the Anders and Adam-emy Awards! Each episode for this series we pick a different year in Oscars history and attempt to correct the record, stripping the undeserving of their garlands while recognising those who were cruelly overlooked.This time, we will be casting our eye back to… the 90th Academy Awards. The event celebrated all the films released in the year of 2017. The event was held at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California on March 4th 2018. The host was Jimmy Kimmel. He had hosted the year before.The 90th Annual Academy Awards was a year after the La-La Land/Moonlight Best Picture fiasco. It was the year when Guillermo Del Toro's film The Shape Of Water won 4 Oscars, it was nominated for 13. Timothée Chalamet, at that point 22, was the third youngest person to nominated in an acting category. Greta Gerwig was nominated for Best Director for Lady Bird, the 5th female filmmaker to be nominated in that category. Jordan Peele was the first African American to win Best Original Screenplay. Rachel Morrison became the first woman nominated for Best Cinematography. It was the year of genre films. Slowly but surely, the Academy is slowly starting to acknowledge and award Oscars and nominations for horror films and other genre films of that ilk. We head back in our time machine to right the wrongs of this year. In our opinion, who should have won? Listen to the episode and find out who we think should have won. Be sure to check out our Monument Valley Film on our YouTube Channel.Anders's screenwriter work can also be seen at work in the horror, car chase thriller Delivery Run, co-written with & directed by Joey Palmroos. The film has been released digitally and also in select cinemas in the US and the UK. In Finland it was released on Apple TV after finishing its limited cinema run and was the Number 1 film for multiple weeks. You can read a review about it here on the Fangoria website. The film is now available to watch in the other Nordic territories like Sweden, Oslo and of course Denmark.

In the late 1920s, Hollywood producers liked coming here to the fancy Millennium Biltmore Hotel to hold business meetings.20世纪20年代末，好莱坞制片人们喜欢来这家豪华的千禧碧丽宫酒店举行商务会议。The story goes that it was here in 1927 that the studio's designer first sketched the outlook of the Oscar Statuette.据说1927年正是在这里，该工作室的设计师首次画出了奥斯卡小金人的草图。During the preliminary session of planning the Oscars, there were a couple of people in conversation talking about this event.在奥斯卡颁奖礼的策划预备会议上，有几个人在交谈中提到了这件事。And this started to scribble on a napkin and kind of draw a design above what is now the Oscar Statuette.一开始只是在餐巾纸上涂鸦，大致画出了如今奥斯卡小金人的设计草图。No one knows where the historical napkin ended up. Director of Marketing at Biltmore Hotel, Ana Segura, believes that was lost nearly hundred years ago.没人知道那张餐巾纸最后去哪里了。碧丽宫酒店营销总监安娜·塞古拉认为那张餐巾纸早在近百年前就已遗失。But the Oscar design endured. And in 1929, the first Academy Awards ceremony took place at the Roosevelt Hotel.但奥斯卡的设计经久不衰。1929年，第一届奥斯卡颁奖典礼在罗斯福酒店举行。Yet years later, the ceremony moved to where it all began, the Biltmore Hotel.然而几年后，典礼举办地点转移到了碧丽宫酒店。This hall hosted the ceremony eight times, though back then, it looked a little different.这个大厅曾举办过八次典礼，不过当时它的样子和现在有些不同。This ballroom originally was built to cater to the Oscars with a grand stage.这个宴会厅最初是为了举办奥斯卡颁奖典礼而建造的，里面有一个宏大的舞台。And because of the reconstruction, the hotel went through a renovation, and so they had to downsize the ceiling.由于重建，酒店进行了翻修，因此他们不得不降低天花板的高度。Pompous receptions, breathtakingly beautiful evening gowns and tuxedos, this was the place to see and be seen in legendary old Hollywood.奢华的招待会、美轮美奂的晚礼服和燕尾服，这里曾是传奇老好莱坞名利场中争奇斗艳的秀场。Visitors can still see glimpses of it today on the pictures that adorn the hotel walls.如今，游客们仍能在装饰酒店墙壁的图片中一窥其昔日风采。This picture, that's the one with Walt Disney and Shirley Temple. The beauty about this picture is the Oscar. It's the most iconic because of the Seven Dwarfs nomination.这是华特·迪士尼和秀兰·邓波儿的合影。这张照片的亮点在于那座奥斯卡奖杯。它之所以最具标志性是因为《白雪公主和七个小矮人》的提名。Obviously he got his award, so you have seven little Oscars and then the big Oscar trophy.显然他获得了奖项，所以有七个小奥斯卡奖杯，然后还有一个大的奥斯卡奖杯。But not just Hollywood stars frequented the Biltmore Hotel.但不仅仅是好莱坞明星经常光顾碧丽宫酒店。During prohibition, the time between 1920 and 1933 when the sale and manufacture of alcohol was illegal, this place drew very different crowds.在1920年至1933年禁酒令期间，出售和生产酒是非法的，那时这个地方吸引了许多截然不同的群体。Everyone from gangsters to politicians came here to meet in a secret bar that was hidden behind this wall.从黑帮成员到政客，所有人都曾来到这堵墙后隐藏的秘密酒吧会面。High name profile ranking officials, whether there were government celebrities, it was a combination of just, you know, highly renowned name people .高知名度的高级官员，不管是不是政府政要，都是一些很有名的人。And of course, because of the prohibition era and having such a great time at some point, somebody had to get out and get away, right? And so that was the secret passage.当然，由于禁酒令的存在，人们在某个时刻玩得太过尽兴，总得有人溜出去躲一躲，对吧？于是就有了这条秘密通道。Even today, actors and producers love coming here. Jaime has been a barman here for over half a century.即使在今天，演员和制片人也喜欢来到这里。海曼在这里当酒保已经50多年了。All this time, he's been collecting autographs, pictures and incredible stories.他一直在收集签名、照片，以及许多不可思议的故事。His favorite is about how he met Al Pacino, who decided to take a stroll around the hotel wearing a black cape.他最喜欢讲的是他如何遇见阿尔·帕西诺的，当时阿尔·帕西诺披着一件黑色披风在酒店周围散步。Mr. Pacino, I almost called securities on you. He said why, because look at you. And he said well, I'm rehearsing a play at Aquinas. Oh my god! So later on, I asked him for his autograph.帕西诺先生，我差点叫保安过来。他问为什么，我说因为看看你那副样子。他说他在阿奎那排练一部戏剧。天哪！后来我向他要了签名。The Academy Award ceremony hasn't been held here for years. Its venue of choices has long been Hollywood's Dolby Theatre.奥斯卡颁奖典礼已多年未在此地举办。其首选场地一直是好莱坞的杜比剧院。But to commemorate the early days of Oscars, every February, a special themed party is held within the walls of the legendary Biltmore Hotel .但为了纪念奥斯卡的早期岁月，每年二月，传奇的碧丽宫酒店内都会举办一场特别主题派对。

Avatar: Fire and Ash is a 2025 American epic science fiction film directed by James Cameron, who co-wrote the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver from a story the trio wrote with Josh Friedman and Shane Salerno. Distributed by 20th Century Studios and produced by Lightstorm Entertainment, it is the sequel to Avatar: The Way of Water (2022) and the third installment in the Avatar franchise. Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, and Kate Winslet reprise their roles from the previous films.Cameron, who had stated in mid-2006 that he would like to make sequels to Avatar (2009) if it was successful, announced the first two sequels in early 2010 following the success of the first film, with the then-untitled Avatar 3 aiming for a December 2015 release. However, the addition of two more sequels (four in total), and the development of new technology required to film performance capture scenes underwater, a feat never accomplished before, led to significant delays to allow the crew more time to work on the writing, pre-production, and visual effects. Avatar: Fire and Ash started shooting simultaneously with The Way of Water in New Zealand on September 25, 2017; filming completed in late December 2020, after over three years of shooting. With an estimated budget of over $400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. The film is dedicated to editor John Refoua, who died in 2023, and producer Jon Landau, who died in 2024.Avatar: Fire and Ash had its world premiere at Dolby Theatre, Hollywood, on December 1, 2025, and was released theatrically in the United States on December 19, and has grossed $347.3 million. Critics praised the visuals, characters, performances, and action sequences, though many were divided on the plot, screenplay, and runtime.[b] Two additional sequels, Avatar 4 and Avatar 5, are in various stages of production and are scheduled to be released in 2029 and 2031, respectively.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman continues to dominate the health and science conversation this week as the Summit of Greatness kicked off on September 12, 2025, at the iconic Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, where he was a featured keynote speaker sharing the stage with the likes of Gabby Bernstein and Brendon Burchard. The event drew a capacity crowd of high achievers eager to hear Dr. Huberman unpack new science-backed strategies for personal optimization, cementing his status as one of today's most influential voices in neurobiology, motivation, and wellbeing, according to Discover Los Angeles. Social media from attendees and fellow speakers lit up with reactions and behind-the-scenes images, with #HubermanLab trending briefly on X during the event.Earlier in the week, Dr. Huberman released a fresh Essentials episode of the Huberman Lab podcast, focusing on food and supplements for brain health and cognitive performance, a perennial listener favorite now ranking at the top of Apple Podcasts and Spotify health charts. In this concise installment, Huberman highlighted the role of omega-3s, creatine, anthocyanins, and choline in supporting focus, aging, and long-term brain health, noting actionable ways to rewire food cravings for better lifestyle outcomes. According to his official website and podcast releases, the episode continues to draw robust engagement, with positive feedback rolling in on Instagram, Threads, and TikTok, where sound bites of his science-backed nutrition advice are particularly popular among younger audiences.Beyond his media appearances, Huberman's much-anticipated book Protocols remains a hot topic in the health space, with pre-orders surging as the neuroscience community and general public await its release. The book, which promises a comprehensive guide to enhancing cognitive function, energy, and lifelong learning, is being hailed in early email newsletters and online forums as a major step in translating cutting-edge brain science into practical protocols for everyday users.Stanford University, where Huberman is still an active professor, issued a brief announcement this week remarking on his dual impact in both academic research—where his lab's studies on neuroplasticity and vision continue to feature in premier journals—and public education, through podcasts, public speaking, and open-access tools. Of note, there are no significant controversies, business missteps, or unconfirmed personal rumors presently circulating in major outlets.All told, the past few days have seen Huberman expand his reach and influence across science communication, business, and live events, continuing his trajectory as a mainstay in the intersection of neuroscience, popular health, and performance culture.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman has commanded attention this week with a flurry of media hits, new science releases, and buzzworthy public invitations. Just yesterday, Huberman's advice trended on multiple health news verticals and social streams with the release of his new rapid-uptake video dissecting how three simple vegetables can reduce nighttime urination and improve sleep quality, a topic that immediately sparked wider commentary given the ever-evolving mainstream interest in sleep optimization according to YouTube. Meanwhile, Huberman's ongoing exploration of neuroscience and self-improvement continues through his flagship Huberman Lab podcast, which just dropped a much-hyped episode featuring legendary climber Alex Honnold. This one dug deep into risk assessment, brain health, and achieving massive goals, aligning his neuroscientific rigor with adventure psychology—all quickly circulating within wellness and athletic circles as seen on the Huberman Lab official website's most recent episode listings.Not content to rest, Huberman's written profile soared again after Men's Journal published another viral piece on his unconventional alternatives to napping—his so-called NSDR, or Non-Sleep Deep Rest, protocol—which he claims boosts energy and focus without conventional sleep. The article breaks down his stepwise technique, offering accessible guidance and lending weight to his ongoing campaign to democratize neuroscience-backed performance tools for the masses, solidifying his image as a practical science sage for ambitious folk.As for public appearances, excitement is building as Huberman is now confirmed as a headline speaker for the upcoming Summit of Greatness 2025 at the Dolby Theatre in mid-September, an event countenanced on TikTok by both the event's promotional team and fans personally rallying followers to catch his live session. This announcement has already stirred speculation about which new research findings or protocols he might debut onstage, with some unconfirmed rumors hinting at a potential preview of his long-awaited book Protocols.In the swirl of public fascination, a fresh wave of tabloid attention briefly struck after a trending web story attempted to untangle speculation around Huberman's personal life and supposed wife, Shanna Huberman. According to The Screening Lab, no conclusive or verified details have surfaced, and the story appears more a response to sudden hashtag spikes than verifiable news. Meanwhile, his evergreen social clips remain omnipresent, including a widely shared short in which he argues against face tattoos from a neuroscience lens, recently reposted on a number of US platforms.With his research, book teasers, media responses, and public agenda converging, Andrew Huberman's influence appears only to be growing—marked by headline visibility and intrigue across both science outlets and the web's more speculative corners.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

But fear not, Johnny's usual date for the Academy Awards, the irrepressible Daíbhid MacCann, has sent through his thoughts on who, what and why at this year's ceremony. Daíbhid's whereabouts are currently unknown, but the word on the street is that he's currently in Mexico researching medical operations on the behalf of the local cartel kingpin.We take a look at the recent James Bond Amazon Prime firesale debacle, we discuss sad movies and claymation penises, and we ponder just how one particular film has managed to offend every minority it set out to represent, and bagged 13 nominations in the process.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Today is day 157 of the war with Hamas. Diplomatic correspondent Lazar Berman joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. At the Oscars last night, the acceptance speech from Jonathan Glazer -- writer-director of the Holocaust drama “The Zone of Interest” -- was used to comment on the Israel-Hamas war. Glazer appears to equate the massacre perpetrated by Hamas on October 7 with the ongoing war in Gaza. Berman weighs in on how prevalent this thinking may be in the wider population. Berman attempts to make sense of conflicting reports over the status of negotiations to secure a hostage release deal. At the Institute for National Security Studies conference in Tel Aviv on Thursday, Berman had a long in-depth sit-down conversation with retired US Gen. David Petraeus who commanded US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan among other high-level assignments during a 37-year military career. We hear what Petraeus has to say about IDF tactics in Gaza. In a session at the INSS conference, former Shin Bet chief Nadav Argaman said the organization had pushed for a surprise attack on Hamas's top leadership for years before the devastating October 7 terror onslaught, but Israel's political leadership repeatedly shot the idea down. We hear more about the politicized atmosphere at the conference. For the latest updates, please look at The Times of Israel's ongoing live blog.
