      Life by Ruman Baig 28 mins ago Celebrities shine spotlight on humanitarian crisis in Palestine at 2024 Oscars. As the world tuned in to watch the glitz and glamour of the 96th Academy Awards, Hollywood’s biggest stars seized the spotlight to advocate for a cause close to their hearts: the humanitarian crisis in Palestine. Amidst the dazzling array of designer gowns and tailored tuxedos on the red carpet, a different kind of statement emerged. Celebrities such as Billie Eilish, Mark Ruffalo, and Ramy Youssef boldly sported red lapel pins adorned with an outstretched hand and a black heart, symbolizing their support for Artists for Ceasefire, a campaign aimed at demanding an immediate cessation of hostilities. Billie Eilish & Finneas Outside the iconic Dolby Theatre, where the Oscars ceremony took place, a sizable crowd gathered in solidarity with Palestine, causing a stir and drawing attention to the ongoing conflict. Despite the glitz and glamour of the event, the message was clear: the plight of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire cannot be ignored. Mark Ruffalo During acceptance speeches, winners took the opportunity to amplify the call for peace. Jonathan Glazer, upon receiving the Oscar for Best International Feature, delivered a powerful message connecting his film’s themes to the present reality in Palestine. He urged viewers to reflect on the consequences of dehumanization and called for resistance against injustice. Over 400 members of the entertainment industry lent their voices to the cause by signing a letter addressed to US President Joe Biden. Ramy Youssef & Riz Ahmed As the cameras flashed and the world watched, Hollywood’s brightest stars used their platform not just to celebrate cinematic achievements but to shine a light on a pressing humanitarian issue. In a world often dominated by glitz and glamour, their voices rang out loud and clear: it’s time to end the violence and work towards a brighter future for all. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Featured Image: Getty Images & Instagram  More

      Oscar nominations 2024: One where Margot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were left out

      by

      Lifeby Ruman Baig1 hour ago As the 96th Academy Awards nominations were announced, the film industry was abuzz with a mix of anticipation and surprise.Among the unexpected highlights was the dominance of ‘Oppenheimer,’ a film that secured a staggering 13 nominations, overshadowing even the much-anticipated ‘Barbie,’ which managed to snag only eight nods.The most glaring omission for ‘Barbie’ was in the Best Director category, where the talented Greta Gerwig failed to secure a nomination. Additionally, Margot Robbie, who delivered a noteworthy performance in the film, missed out on the Best Actress nod. This unexpected snub has undoubtedly become a focal point of discussions surrounding this year’s Oscar race.Contrastingly, Emma Stone-starrer ‘Poor Things’ earned significant recognition with 11 nominations, proving to be a dark horse in the competition. Martin Scorsese’s ‘Killers of the Flower Moon’ also stood strong with 10 nods.One of the most groundbreaking moments in this year’s nominations was the acknowledgment of Lily Gladson, who received a Best Actress nomination for her role in ‘Killers of the Flower Moon.’ Gladson’s nomination not only celebrates her individual achievement but also marks a historic moment as the first Native American to be recognized in this prestigious category.The Oscar nominations are often marked by unexpected twists, and this year is no exception. While ‘Oppenheimer’ and ‘Poor Things’ emerged as strong contenders, ‘Barbie’ faced an unforeseen setback, raising questions about the criteria used in the selection process. The absence of Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie from the Best Director and Best Actress categories, respectively, has fueled debates within the industry, reminding us that the unpredictability of the Oscars is part of what makes the ceremony so captivating for audiences around the world.– For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and InstagramFeature Image: Instagram @margotrobbieofficial More
