Oscar awards 2019 | complete list of winners

Oscars ceremony got off to a mildly awkward start this year, as Maya Rudolph, Tina Fey, and Amy Poehler, presenting the Best Supporting Actress award, did a little comedy routine acknowledging that this year’s presentation had no host, no Most Popular Film award, and no awards given out during commercials. (“And Mexico is not paying for the wall.”) was a wary little dig at the many embarrassing controversies the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences faced this year as it attempted to retool the ceremony. Attempts to shorten the show by cutting some awards, while simultaneously adding more crowd-pleasing elements, led to a lot of online backlash.

Results spoke for themselves. Comparatively brief show that ran just over three hours (as opposed to the four-hours-plus shows that have become standard over the past few decades), the producers didn’t often linger over speeches from the presenters or winners. The show moved along briskly, with the early winners’ mics being rapidly cut off if they weren’t brief and to the point in their acknowledgment speeches. Even the more elaborate presenter setups — the visual gag involving Melissa McCarthy and Brian Tyree Henry, dressed in elaborate costumes referencing the Best Costuming nominees, and particularly the pet rabbits in The Favourite — went by quickly.

Ceremony did give a little more time to the winners of some of the bigger awards. It was a night of firsts: Spike Lee won his first non-honorary Oscar, for co-scripting BlacKkKlansman, and delivered a shaky, emotional speech that was one of the evening’s few nods toward current politics. Black Panther, which picked up three wins out of its seven nominations, became the first Marvel Studios movie to win an Academy Award.

Thanks to Black Panther, it was a significant night for black filmmakers. Black Panther production designer Hannah Beachler and costume designer Ruth E. Carter each became the first black women to win in their respective categories. (Beachler was the first black production designer to win, period.) Peter Ramsey, one of the co-directors of the Best Animated Feature winner Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, was the first black director to win in the category. Mahershala Ali, who won Best Supporting Actor for Green Book, became the first black actor to win in that category twice. (And only the fifth black actor to win in the category over the course of the Academy Awards’ 91-year history.)

While Netflix’s film Roma lost the Best Picture award to Green Book, in a surprise upset, it made history in other ways. It’s the first Mexican submission for Best Foreign Language Feature to win in the category. Best Cinematography win for director Alfonso Cuarón (who also took Best Director) marked the first time in history that a director simultaneously won the Oscar in the cinematography category.

Doctorate for A.R.Rahman from AMU

Oscar-winning music maestro A.R. Rahman was Sunday conferred an honorary doctorate by the Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) at its 59th convocation. The composer, who said he was overwhelmed with the honour, urged more young people to join creative fields like arts and media.
Rahman also urged the youth to learn and join him in building a strong, harmonious India. 'I find a transcendent language that all can understand that can bring all together -- a language that awakens in each of us an awareness that all energy is spiritual energy and the fate of one is linked to the fate of all,' said Rahman.
Excellent line by Nelson Mandela, he said: 'Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. Education alone can eradicate poverty.' He ended his speech with 'Jai Ho', the song for which he got an Oscar.
Apart from Rahman, eminent Urdu writer Gopi Chand Narang also received an honorary doctorate. 'Urdu is a language of plurality and openness. I denounce all kinds of totalitarianism and regimentation. 'To me Urdu is a way of life representing more than a thousand years of composite culture drawing sustenance from Amir Khusrau, Nanak, Nizammuddin and the contributions of Ghalib, Mir, Iqbal, Faiz, Firaq and Prem Chand,' he said. West Bengal governor Gopal Krishna Gandhi was the chief guest along with Justice A.N. Ahmadi.

Rajesh Khanna to be felicitated with Lifetime Achievement Award at IIFA

In the 60s, there came euphoria, a phenomenon, sweeping women across India off their feet with those naughty eyes, stylish shake of the head and enigmatic smile. It belonged to none other than superstar Rajesh Khanna, whom the IDEA IIFA Awards salutes this year.

The legend will be honoured with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Videocon IIFA Weekend, which will be held at The Venetian Macao-Resort-Hotel from June 11 to 13 in Macau.

Stalwarts of Indian cinema like Mumtaz and Dharmendra have previously been recipients of this prestigious Award. Each year, IIFA 2009 honours a member of the Indian film fraternity with the Lifetime Achievement Award, who has made innumerable contributions to Indian cinema.

Keeping this in mind, the IIFA Advisory Board and the IIFA Management recognizes Rajesh Khanna in its tenth year.

Salim-Sulaiman nominated for Emmy Awards

Indian music composer duo Salim-Sulaiman has been nominated for the prestigious television production awards Emmy for their composition in popular American show 'Wonder Pets'. The composers bagged the nomination for the song 'We like being small" in the outstanding original song category in the Children’s animation section. The awards ceremony will be held in Los Angeles on August 30.

The duo, brothers Salim Merchant and Sulaiman Merchant, have been composing music for over a decade, having scored for several Indi-pop performers and movies such as Chak De India, Bhoot, Mujhse Shaadi Karogi, Matrubhoomi and Fashion.

"It gives me great joy to be nominated for this award, as I remember while we were working on this project I experienced a kind of musical fulfillment and moments that will remain with me for a long time to come," Salim said.

While talking about the nomination, Sulaiman said, "We hardly expected this and were rather taken aback when we received the call from America. It’s honestly fantastic being nominated for this Emmy. Internationally, Indian music is being recognized and enjoyed, be it film music or classical, the appetite is simply growing and we look forward to creating more music."
