EntertainmentAll eyes will be on Hollywood tonight to see if Everything Everywhere All At Once can close out its incredible awards season by sweeping the Oscars.But it faces competition from All Quiet on the Western Front and The Banshees of Inisherin.
Austin Butler, Brendan Fraser, Cate Blanchett and Michelle Yeoh are the frontrunners in the acting categories.
The 2023 awards season has been one of the most unpredictable in recent years. Winners have changed at other major ceremonies, such as the SAG Awards, the Baftas and the Golden Globes, and there is a lack of consensus on who will triumph at the Oscars as a result.
How to watch the Oscars?
The ceremony begins at 5:00 PM PT / 8:00 PM ET on Sunday.
Prizes are scheduled to be distributed over three hours.
Who’s Presenting at the Oscars?
Last year’s winners (L-R) Ariana DeBose, Troy Kotsur and Jessica Chastain will host, but Will Smith will be absent.
Traditionally, the four acting winners from the previous year’s Oscars return to present the awards to their successors.
Other stars presenting categories this year include Harrison Ford, Nicole Kidman, Samuel L Jackson, Dwayne Johnson, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, John Travolta, Emily Blunt, Glenn Close, Jennifer Connelly and Florence Pugh.
Other presenters of the categories include Paul Dano, Andrew Garfield, Cara Delevingne, Kate Hudson, Michael B Jordan, Jonathan Majors, Mindy Kaling, Eva Longoria, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Andie MacDowell and Riz Ahmed.
They will be joined by Antonio Banderas, Elizabeth Banks, Hugh Grant, Salma Hayek Pinault, Melissa McCarthy, Halle Bailey, Janelle Monáe, Questlove, Elizabeth Olsen and Pedro Pascal.
Who are the favorites to win?
Excitingly, this year’s winners are the most difficult to predict for some time, due to changes to the many previous ceremonies.
The only award in the acting category that experts have confidence in is “Everything Everywhere All At Once” star Ke Huy Quan.
Brendan Fraser (The Whale) and Austin Butler (Elvis) have both won a slew of Best Actor awards at other major events and could each take home an Oscar.
In the actress category, with Michelle Yeoh (Everything Everywhere Everything At Once) challenging early frontrunner Cate Blanchett (Tár).
Best Supporting Actress is arguably the most open of the acting categories – with a three-way race between Angela Bassett (Wakanda Forever), Kerry Condon (The Banshees of Inisherin) and Jamie Lee Curtis (Anything Everywhere, Everyone at once).
Who will perform?
Rihanna will take the Academy Awards stage exactly one month after her electrifying performance at the Super Bowl. She will perform Lift Me Up (from Black Panther: Wakanda Forever), which is nominated for Best Original Song.
The most likely winner in that category, however, is Naatu Naatu (from RRR) – which will be performed at the ceremony by Rahul Sipligunj and Kaala Bhairava.
David Byrne, Son Lux and Stephanie Hsu will perform This Is A Life (from Everywhere Everywhere All At Once), while Diane Warren and Sofia Carson will perform Applause (from Tell It Like a Woman).
However, Lady Gaga will not be performing, despite her song Hold My Hand (from Top Gun: Maverick) being the fifth nominee in the category. However, she is attending the ceremony, so fans are hoping that she will have a surprise performance.
Elsewhere, Lenny Kravitz will perform during the In Memoriam segment, which honors film figures who have died in the past year.

SportsA nervous Cristiano Ronaldo stormed off to the dressing room kicking a bottle of water after his side Al Nassri were beaten 1-0 by Al Ittihad in the Saudi Pro League.
This defeat marked the second match in a row in which the 38-year-old Ronaldo failed to score.
Brazilian Romarinho scored for Al Ittihad 10 minutes from time, securing victory for his side, who now topple Al Nassr’s side.
Al Ittihad fans constantly mocked Ronaldo by chanting Lionel Messi’s name throughout the match.After the referee’s final whistle, Ronaldo seemed to be very nervous, which was confirmed by his behavior, as he was filmed very angry while kicking a water bottle with his foot.

TravelEuropean citizens will have to fill out a form and pay a sum of money to visit or spend even a single day in the UK.
The British government announced another measure that comes after the Brexit process, i.e. Britain’s exit from the European Union.This procedure is reminiscent of the American “Esta” documentation that tourists and other foreign travelers need to enter the United States.
London will follow the same example. The mandatory documentation for the UK border will be called the ETA.
Like the US ESTA, the British ETA will be an electronic form that every traveler will need to fill out before travelling, providing biometric data and answering a few questions.
As with the United States, EU citizens will have to pay an “amount of money which has not yet been disclosed by the British government and will be valid for two years”.
The new regime, which obviously does not apply to Europeans legally resident in the UK, will come into effect for tourists and travelers from around the world in 2024.

SportsCristiano Ronaldo’s April 2017 Champions League hat-trick in the quarter-final second leg saw Real Madrid qualify for the semi-finals. A passage of the tour that matured after the double encounter against Bayern Munich. On that occasion, the Portuguese was a great protagonist, scoring the decisive goals for the passage of the tour. An authentic night for the Bavarians, who perhaps too often saw the five-time “Golden Ball” winner score in the various Champions League matches played in previous years.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s April 2017 Champions League hat-trick in the quarter-final second leg saw Real Madrid qualify for the semi-finals. A passage of the tour that matured after the double encounter against Bayern Munich. On that occasion, the Portuguese was a great protagonist, scoring the decisive goals for the passage of the tour. An authentic night for the Bavarians, who perhaps too often saw the five-time “Golden Ball” winner score in the various Champions League matches played in previous years
. A reflection that takes on greater value after the words expressed by Thomas Muller at the end of the match won by his Bayern in the 1/8 final against PSG. The leader and captain of the Bavarians was on the field in those years and remembers Cristiano Ronaldo’s performances very well, so much so that he forcefully enters the eternal dilemma that has plagued us for years: who is stronger between Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo? The German tries to clarify by explaining how the result against Lionel Messi has always gone well, unlike the confrontations of the Bavarians with the Portuguese star, today at Al Nassr, which was a real nightmare for Bayern.
Some of Muller’s statements were taken by Georg Holzner, Kicker journalist, and then published by various media. The player highlighted this very real statistic, which nevertheless perhaps belittles the captain and leader of world champions Argentina a little too much. Muller without looking around says his word: “Against Messi things have always gone very well in terms of results. Cristiano Ronaldo instead was our problem when he played for Real Madrid.” Muller, however, tries to direct the blow, trying to make it clear that his words were in no way an insult to a champion of Argentina’s caliber: “I have the utmost respect for Messi’s performance at the World Cup, it was incredible. He it pulled the whole team. It’s not that easy to play in a team like PSG, it’s hard to find a team balance. Individuals help you win just a few games.”
Messi played against Bayern Munich 8 times in his career and achieved only 2 victories. He suffered humiliation in the quarter-finals of the 2020 Champions League when Barcelona lost 8-2 and another disappointment yesterday as PSG were eliminated from the competition as early as the last 16. Therefore, in the wings of enthusiasm, Muller indirectly praised Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored his 100th career goal against Bayern in 2017. The Portuguese scored 5 goals against the Bavarians in just two games, in 180 minutes, and did not were the only ones. But perhaps precisely from that evening, Muller became aware of the greatness of CR7 and that evening he wanted to publicly evidence it, leaving Messi aside for a moment.

SportsTyson Fury’s promoter Frank Warren is listing a deadline of this week for the negotiations with IBF/WBA/WBO heavyweight champion Oleksandr Usyk to be completed for their undisputed heavyweight fight on April 29th.
If the fight doesn’t get made, Usyk will have mandatory defenses to get out of the way, and there’s no telling whether he’ll make it through those fights with his titles still in his possession. For his part, Fury will need to soon make a defense of his own against his mandatory, and it’s unclear whether he’d be motivated to do that. Fury is at the point of his career where he wants to hand-pick his opponents, and he’s become difficult to negotiate with. Without going into any details about what the sticking point is for the talks,
Warren says there’s a pot of money that’s available for the fight, and he can only pay Fury (33-0-1, 24 KOs) and Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs) what is in that pot. If that money isn’t enough, the fight won’t happen. Warren didn’t say whether Wembley Stadium is still the destination for the Fury-Usyk fight or if Saudi Arabia is one of the options.
It’s been reported earlier that Fury priced himself out by asking for too much money from the Saudis after Usyk had previously made a deal with them. If that’s the case, one can understand why Usyk might be reluctant to take a take that’s less than what he would have received if the fight had been staged in Saudi Arabia.
It’s unclear what kind of money Fury was asking for from the Saudis, but he might be kicking himself now if the pot he’s dealing with in UK money is considerably less than what he would have got if he’d made a deal with the Saudis. With WBC heavyweight champion Fury insisting on being the A-side despite having fewer belts than IBF, WBA & WBO champion Usyk (20-0, 13 KOs), it’s understandable why they’re at an impasse.
If you throw in that Usyk had already made a deal with the Saudis, it’s understandable why he might not be happy now having to settle for less to fight in London in Fury’s backyard. “We’re still none the wiser; we’re still waiting for it to be done, it’s all coming to a head now, but it’s still not done,” said Frank Warren to talkSPORT Boxing about the Fury vs. Usyk negotiations. “You need the agreement of both boxers to make it happen, and at the moment, we haven’t got that.
“I would say it’s not going to go past the end of this week, that’s for sure, because the proposed date is April 29.” “I have a pot, and out of that pot, I can only pay what’s in it, and if it’s not enough money, the fight won’t happen; we’re running a business,” said Warren.

LifeStyleHundreds of Christians from East African countries, affiliated with the Church of the Apostles of Christ in Uganda, crossed into Ethiopia for fear of “judgment day”. Members of the sect believe that life will begin again in post-apocalyptic Ethiopia.
Police spokesman Oscar Ogeca said in a statement that hundreds of Ugandan Christians feared the apocalypse would affect their region.
According to him, the sect members believe that life will start again in post-apocalyptic Ethiopia and sold all their possessions before moving.
“Residents of the village of Obululum in eastern Uganda went to Ethiopia, thinking that it was the only safe place in the apocalypse”, said the spokesman Ogeca, who emphasized that the investigation into this matter has also started.

TechnologyCzech cyber watchdogs have issued a warning about the use of social network TikTok, joining other Western authorities in labeling the Chinese-owned app a security threat.
Many countries have expressed concern that TikTok could provide Chinese authorities with access to users’ personal data.
“The agency is concerned about a potential security threat posed by the use of TikTok, primarily due to the amount of user data collected by the app and the manner in which the data is handled,” the National Cyber and Security Agency said. of Information Security in the Czech Republic (NUKIB).
ByteDance, TikTok’s related company, “lies under the legal jurisdiction of the People’s Republic of China,” NUKIB continued, adding that this is concerning.
A bill to outlaw software that US Government employees are not allowed to download to their devices has been introduced by US lawmakers. Radio Free Europe writes that the Czech government, even though it is part of the EU, has not imposed any ban so far.
China was named a significant threat to Czech cyberspace by the country’s National Intelligence Agency (BIS) in a report published last year.
“Chinese technologies infiltrating critical internet networks of state infrastructures … can be assessed as a major security threat,” the report said.

SportsNow everything is official. Chelsea and Benfica are the first 2 teams to reach the quarter-finals of this year’s UEFA Champions League.
In the second leg of the round of 16, the London Blues beat Borussia Dortmund 2-0, overturning the minimal 1-0 advantage Borussia Dortmund achieved in the first leg. On the other hand, Benfica “disfigured” the Belgians of Club Brugge by passing to the next round after 2 consecutive victories, with the overall result 7 to 1.
Meanwhile, the next day, 2 more matches will take place for the 1/16 round, where in “Allianz Arena”, Bayern Munich will host the French “giants” of PSG, while in “Ehite Heart Lane” the “second act” of the Tottenham-Milan match is played, while we remember that both challenges will start at 21:00.
PSG have shown since the first leg loss that they have rediscovered their scoring touch while Bayern remain vulnerable at the back despite a decent scoring record themselves. The French champions only need to win by a goal to take it beyond 90 minutes so expect them to do at least that. A two-goal winning margin is within the realms of possibility but a clean sheet for the visitors is unlikely. Expect Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi to feature prominently. Pick: Bayern 1, PSG 3 (after extra time).
