Boiling Point: Not a great year for #climatechange at #Oscars
For second year, nonprofit firm Good Energy applied Climate Reality Check to #Oscar-nominated films. Intended as a #climate version of Bechdel test, which measures representation of women, Climate Reality Check tests whether movie & characters acknowledge #globalwarming
Climate silence “does feel a little striking after the harrowing year we’ve all had,” Good Energy Anna Jane Joyner said

Update: AMPAS's governors have apologized for their initial statement over Israeli authorities' treatment of Palestinian Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal. “On Wednesday, we sent a letter in response to reports of violence against Oscar winner Hamdan Ballal, co-director of No Other Land, connected to his artistic expression,” CEO Bill Kramer and President Janet Yang wrote to members today. “We regret that we failed to directly acknowledge Mr. Ballal and the film by name.” They continued: “We sincerely apologize to Mr. Ballal and all artists who felt unsupported by our previous statement and want to make it clear that the Academy condemns violence of this kind anywhere in the world. We abhor the suppression of free speech under any circumstances.” @Deadline has more details and context to share,

The governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS, the organization that gives out the Oscars) have met today to discuss their "belated and tepid" response to the beating and detention of Oscar-winning Palestinian documentarian Hamdan Ballal. Leading members of the Academy including Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Emma Thompson, Ava DuVernay and Adam McKay signed a letter demanding a more forceful response to Ballal's treatment by Israeli authorities, saying the original statement "fell far short of the sentiments this moment calls for." Here's more from @Deadline.

"Hamdan Ballal, the co-director of the Oscar-winning documentary #NoOtherLand, has been arrested by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank after he was beaten and injured by Israeli settlers.

“A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co-director of our film No Other Land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding.”

“Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.” More above the fold.

Bong Joon-ho – „Parasite“ (2019)

„Wenn man keinen Plan hat, dann kann auch nichts schiefgehen. Das heißt, du hast keine Vorstellung davon wie es sein müsste, also macht es nichts, wenn es anders wird. Auch wenn du jemanden umbringst oder dein Land verrätst. Am Ende ist das scheißegal.“ (Park Dong-ik) (ARD)

Conan O'Brien is coming back next year as host of the Oscars, which will be held on March 15 2026. The 2025 ceremony, held at the beginning of this month, had the highest viewership in five years. “The only reason I’m hosting the Oscars next year is that I want to hear Adrien Brody finish his speech.” O'Brien said in a statement, referring to Brody's best actor acceptance speech for "The Brutalist," which was the longest in Oscars history. Here's more from @Variety.

“The Oscar win for “No Other Land” for best documentary ought to have been a triumphant moment for Palestinian and Israeli cinema and society — a rare instance in which artists from both communities stood on the world stage together to receive acclaim for a film they made together. “

Jane Campion, Holly Hunter – „Das Piano“ (1993)

Diesen Film heute, über 30 Jahre später, erneut anzuschauen, bedeutet für mich, ihn auf eine neue Weise zu sehen. Denn ich bin nicht mehr der Mann, der ich Anfang der Neunziger gewesen bin. Ich habe viele Dinge erfahren, gesehen und gelernt, von denen ich damals noch nichts ahnen konnte. Und doch war mir damals schon klar, dass ich diesen Film wohl nie mehr vergessen können würde.
