Oscars 2023 predictions: Who will (and who should) win

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:13:19 GMT

Last year’s Academy Awards were, by most measures, a real mess; overlong, unfunny and punctuated by The Slap, an unexpected event that had everyone talking about the Oscars for the wrong reasons. The show was a parade of bad decisions, particularly the choice to prioritize limp comedy sketches over actual Oscar presentations (eight categories were awarded in a pre-show, then clumsily edited into the live show). After this mess, there’s nowhere to go but up, right?I’m hopeful that the 2023 ceremony, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, will be less of a fiasco. Early signs are good: Academy CEO Bill Kramer told Time magazine that this year’s show will be “much more immersive, much more nominee-focused, and much more focused on all of the disciplines of filmmaking,” and confirmed that every category will be presented live. (That silly “fan favorite” Twitter poll? Kramer grimaced and made a cutting motion when it was mentioned. Good riddance.)So let&#...

Adam Carrington: Supreme Court justices’ financial status has no bearing on legality of student debt relief

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:13:19 GMT

Last week, the U.S. Supreme Court heard arguments about the legality of President Joe Biden’s student debt relief plan. Given the normal schedule followed by the Supreme Court, we shouldn’t expect a final decision until at least June.But on Monday, CNN already was hard at work seeking to impugn the legitimacy of the ultimate decision. In an analysis describing the financial status and educational experiences of the nine justices, commentator Devan Cole paints a picture of privilege. These men and women receive a salary between $274,000 and $299,000 a year before other lucrative revenue streams. They all went to either Harvard or Yale University (except for Justice Amy Coney Barrett), and most received significant scholarships during their undergraduate and law school studies.Cole uses these facts to launch a preemptive assault. These justices’ experiences differ widely from the majority of those who stand to benefit from the student debt relief program. They rose o...

98.3 TRY Social Dilemma: Who is wrong- guy parked in the wrong spot, or guy who blocked him?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:13:19 GMT

ALBANY, N.Y. (NEWS10) — Today's 98.3 TRY Social Dilemma came from Scott. Here's his email: Get all of the latest news, weather, sports, and entertainment delivered right to your inbox! Hi Jaime. I got into an argument with another driver outside a restaurant and I want to know who you think was right. My wife and I ordered takeout at a local place, and I went to pick it up. When I got there, I went to curbside pickup, and all five spots were taken. Three cars had people waiting for their takeout, but the other two had no one in them. People had used them as regular parking spots. So, I parallel-parked in front of them blocking the two vehicles in. Called the place and told them I was outside, and they said, "we are just finishing your order and it will be out in a few minutes." Meantime one of the guys comes out to his car and wants to leave. He's yelling at me I need to move. I need to get out of here. I calmly said, "well If you were parked in a proper spot in the first place,...

Review: ‘Scream VI’ gets lost in the big city

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:13:19 GMT

By Mark Kennedy | Associated PressIn “Scream VI,” the psychotic, knife-wielding serial killer known as Ghostface is set loose on the streets of New York City. Yawn.The former terror of the fictional California town of Woodsboro has made the cross-country trip to the City That Never Sleeps, bringing his creepy mask, black cloak and impressive supply of daggers. But he’s lost in the big city, a slasher made small in his new playground.No disrespect to Mr. Stabby-Stabby, but New York is where you get screamed at by a deranged hot dog vendor, have fistfights over midtown parking, pay $8 for a pack of gum and find approximately six public bathrooms for 8 million people. Ghostface, dude, up your scare game in the Big Apple. This is the city where Pizza Rat lives. This is a city where middle schoolers have nunchucks.Despite the change of scenery, “Scream VI” is less a sequel and more a stutter-step, a half-movie with some very satisfying stabbings but no real ...

“If he were any more self-absorbed, he’d be a paper towel.” — a baseball writer’s observation about a star player who seemed more concerned with his personal stats than winning games.In today’s deal, South opened four hearts, a questionable action even after two passes; North might have held two aces. West led the ace and deuce of diamonds. South ruffed East’s ten and led the king of trumps.West took his ace and led a spade, and when East won and led the king of diamonds, South had to absorb defeat. He ruffed with the queen of trumps and took the J-10, but West’s nine won the setting trick.LOSING SPADEIt takes focus to make this contract, but South must have been absorbed with his plans for dinner. After he ruffs the second diamond, he must take the ace of clubs, ruff a club in dummy and lead a third diamond to pitch his losing spade — a “scissors coup.”This play stops the defenders from promoting a second trump trick...
