Ke Huy Quan, Jamie Lee Curtis win at 'no nonsense' Oscars

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:43:47 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Jimmy Kimmel promised “no nonsense” at the 95th Academy Awards on Sunday as Hollywood reconvened for a ceremony that will try to move past one of the most infamous moments in Oscar history. In one of the night's first awards, former child star Ke Huy Quan capped his extraordinary comeback with the Oscar for best supporting actor. Quan, beloved for his roles as Short Round in “Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom” and Data in “Goonies,” had all but given up acting before being cast in “Everything Everywhere All at Once.”His win, among the most expected of the night, was nevertheless one of the ceremony's most moving moments. The audience — including his “Temple of Doom” director, Steven Spielberg — gave Quan a standing ovation as he fought back tears. “Mom, I just won an Oscar!” said Quan, 51, whose family fled Vietnam in the war when he was a child. “They say stories like this only happen in the movies. I can't believe it's happening,” said Quan. "This is the Amer...

Xaverian boys win in OT to make final

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:43:47 GMT

LOWELL – It’s only a matter of time until Xaverian senior Joe DiMartino changes his legal name to “Playoff Joe.”After a whole night of hearing his name chanted by a large student section at the Tsongas Center, DiMartino fulfilled their pleas Sunday night by sending the Hawks to TD Garden for a second straight year. His goal with 4:47 left in overtime stood as the only score in the No. 7 Hawks’ 1-0 win over No. 14 Reading in the second Div. 1 state semifinal of the day, ending a defensive marathon that featured two of the tournament’s most dialed-in goaltenders.Cole Pouliot-Porter (25 saves) and the Xaverian defense were able to hold on just a little longer than Chris Hanifan (21 saves) and the Rockets, and now have a date with No. 4 Pope Francis in the final next Sunday to try to avenge its loss last year.“You guys know ‘Playoff Joe,’ right,” said Xaverian head coach Dave Spinale. “Every year since we won the conference two years ago when he was a sophomore, he’s always scored the b...

US-S Korea drills begin after N Korea submarine missile test

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:43:47 GMT

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The South Korean and U.S. militaries launched their biggest joint military exercises in years Monday, as North Korea said it conducted submarine-launched cruise missile tests in apparent protest of the drills it views as an invasion rehearsal. North Korea’s missile tests Sunday signal the country likely will conduct provocative weapons testing activities during the U.S.-South Korean drills that are to run for 11 days. Last week, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un ordered his troops to be ready to repel its rivals’ “frantic war preparation moves.”The South Korean-U.S. drills include a computer simulation called the Freedom Shield 23 and several combined field training exercises, collectively known as the Warrior Shield FTX.South Korean and U.S. authorities didn’t immediately disclose details of Monday’s drills. But they said earlier the computer simulation is designed to strengthen the allies’ defense and response capabilities amid North Korea...

Antiwar ‘All Quiet’ wins the Oscar for international film

Published Fri, 27 Dec 2024 09:43:47 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The war movie that abhors war has won an Oscar for best international film.“All Quiet on the Western Front,” starring Felix Kammerer and directed and co-written by Edward Berger, earned nine nominations, including best picture. The Netflix film is based on the classic 1929 novel of the same name by Erich Maria Remarque. Set during World War I, it follows the life of a young German soldier who enlists in the army with his friends. But the realities of war shatter his hopes of becoming a hero and he focuses on his own survival.However, the German-language film doesn’t hew exactly to Remarque’s novel. Instead, it deviates into political issues against the backdrop of the war. It premiered last year, when Russia invaded Ukraine in the biggest military conflict in Europe since World War II, lending an unexpected relevancy to the movie.“All Quiet on the Western Front” won seven BAFTA trophies, including best film. The original American movie starring Lew Ayr...

Navalny’s wife, Yulia, said: “Alexei, I am dreaming of the day you will be free and our country will be free. Stay strong, my love.”Navalny is a media savvy, anti-corruption campaigner in his mid-40s who has for many years been a headache for Russian President Vladimir Putin.
