Hollywood (United States) (AFP) - In "Poor Things," Emma Stone embraced an offbeat challenge: playing a Victorian-era woman who dies by suicide, is brought back to life with the brain of her unborn child by a mad scientist and embraces a journey of bold self-discovery. Her risky, no-holds barred female take on the Frankenstein myth paid off, and Stone now has a second Academy Award for best actress on her shelf, putting her on par with legends like Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster and Elizabeth Taylor. The 35-year-old Arizona native took home the Oscar on Sunday, besting Lily Gladstone ("Killers of ...

New York (AFP) - Controversy has simmered around France's entry for the Oscars, "The Taste of Things" -- a love letter to the country's culinary traditions -- but filmmaker Tran Anh Hung and star chef Pierre Gagnaire say the art of cooking is worth celebrating. The movie, which hopes to win an Oscar nod in January, is a sumptuous 19th century romance about a cook (Academy Award winner Juliette Binoche), the gourmand she works for (Benoit Magimel) -- and the exquisite dishes they create. "I've been looking for a subject about cooking for 20 years, because I wanted to make a film about an art f...

Washington (AFP) - US President Joe Biden on Friday awarded the nation's highest military honor to a Black special forces hero who saved his men from an enemy raid 60 years ago in the Vietnam War. The exploits of Paris Davis, now 83, were largely forgotten by a US military bureaucracy that failed to process his paperwork, effectively denying him the Medal of Honor, the country's highest military distinction. Davis is "a true hero of the nation," Biden said at a White House ceremony. Biden said that the now retired Green Beret colonel had grown up in a racially segregated US South, where "in th...

New York (AFP) - With their musical dexterity and supersonic sound, JD Beck and DOMi have attracted major attention from artists ranging from Herbie Hancock to Bruno Mars, and now the jazz duo is in the hunt for Grammys glory. To watch American drummer JD Beck and French keyboardist DOMi is to submit the senses to their overwhelming speed of execution, bewildering the eye as much as the ear. "Speed is a technical resource allowing us, composers and musicians, to create a feeling and deliver an emotion," the pair told AFP in writing (they wanted to speak in one voice). "It's equally as importan...

Hollywood (United States) (AFP) - "CODA" producer Philippe Rousselet is pleased, but not surprised, that his heartwarming drama about a deaf family is now a hot favorite for best picture at the Oscars on Sunday.

"'La Famille Belier' was a formidably successful comedy, as we like them in France," Rousselet told AFP, referring to the original on which the Apple TV+ hit is based. "With 'CODA,' (director) Sian Heder has made it an American film as Americans like them -- more of a dramatic comedy. "I think both films took the best of w...
