☆ What a Reported Trump Plan on Restricting Abortion Would Mean
▼ + stars: | 2024-02-17 | by ( Claire Cain Miller | Margot Sanger-Katz | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: 1 min

A nationwide ban on abortions after 16 weeks of pregnancy — which Donald J. Trump is considering backing, according to a New York Times report — would prevent very few abortions in the United States. Mr. Trump, the front-runner to be the Republican presidential nominee, has not publicly spoken about the proposal. It would most likely keep in place more restrictive bans in the nearly half of states that have them, but would be a change for states where abortion remains largely unrestricted. Such a law, which would require congressional action, would affect only a small minority of women seeking abortions. Those women tend to have medically complicated pregnancies.

☆ The unusual promise Margot Robbie made Ryan Gosling to get him to play Ken in 'Barbie'

Before the Oscar nomination, before the sweatshirts and the mojo dojo casa house, it took some convincing to get Ryan Gosling to say "I'm Just Ken." In a recent profile in Variety, Gosling said he passed on the film when it was brought to him. And I would call months later to my agents or something and say, 'Hey, who did they get to play Ken?' Margot Robbie, who in addition to playing the titular Barbie also produced the film, pulled out all the stops to land her perfect co-star. On top of a reported salary of $12.5 million, it was an out-of-the-box offer from Robbie that put Gosling over the edge.

When Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, the fashion editor-personality who became famous as the first Black woman to style a Vogue cover (in 2021) and even more famous after she got into a social media brouhaha with Kanye West, was interviewing for her first big fashion job at Vogue, she ended up, not surprisingly, in front of Anna Wintour. Ms. Wintour asked Ms. Karefa-Johnson where she wanted to be in 10 years. Ms. Karefa-Johnson answered — as Ms. Wintour once had, when asked a similar question — editor in chief of Vogue. Almost exactly a decade later, Ms. Karefa-Johnson doesn’t necessarily want that any more. “I resigned as kind of a material action of solidarity and because it was just time for me to move on,” Ms. Karefa-Johnson, 32, said recently.

“There’s no way to feel sad when you know you’re this blessed,” Robbie said at a special SAG-AFTRA screening on Tuesday night, according to Deadline. The staggering box office results made the film’s director Greta Gerwig the first solo female director with a billion-dollar movie. It’s why many felt equally as shocked when Gerwig did not get nominated in the best director category last week. “Barbie” earned a total of eight Oscar nods, including best picture – which Robbie was recognized for as a producer. Ferrara told Variety in an interview last week that she, too, was “incredibly disappointed” that Gerwig and Robbie weren’t individually nominated.

CNN —The nominations for the 96th Academy Awards were revealed last week and – as they so often do – caused quite a stir. Co-written and directed by Triet, “Anatomy of a Fall” is nominated for five Oscars this year in total, including for best original screenplay and best picture. That gives Williams more Academy Award nominations than any other living person. According to the Academy, the late Walt Disney holds the overall record of career nominations, with a grand total of 59. Still, it seemed to be a role destined for Brooks, who received a Tony Award nomination in 2016 for playing the same character in the Broadway revival of the musical.

CNN —It’s Oscars season and “Barbie” is dominating the discourse. But here’s the thing; “Barbie” is neither smart enough nor interesting enough to be inspiring this level of uproar. It’s also important to remember that “Barbie” has most certainly not been ignored by the Academy Awards’ members. It has eight nominations – which is far more than many of 2023’s other women-directed films got. While “Barbie” achieved cultural phenomenon status last year, other films that took a more complicated approach to womanhood were shut out of the Oscars and the mainstream awards circuit completely.

Read previewMargot Robbie and Greta Gerwig were two of the most-discussed snubs of Tuesday's Oscar nominations. But another huge upset of the 96th Academy Award nods was the lack of recognition for "The Color Purple" remake. The Color Purple was going to be snubbed whether Taraji spoke out or not because a lot of the noms were voted on prior. Instead of negative press, "The Color Purple," among other contenders, was likely affected by different factors, including the SAG-AFTRA strike and its Christmas release. "By waiting until December to release 'The Color Purple,' they were late to the conversation," he added.

While ““The Bathysphere Book” is the only winner you could officially classify as science, all three works draw upon science and the natural world.

“There is no Ken without Barbie, and there is no ‘Barbie’ movie without Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie, the two people most responsible for this history-making, globally celebrated film,” Ryan Gosling said. Her first three films as a solo director — “Lady Bird,”“Little Women” and “Barbie” — have all been nominated for best picture. One likely factor: the increasingly international composition of the film academy. After Ben Affleck went unnominated for directing 2012's “Argo,” voters rallied around his movie, ultimately handing Affleck the Oscar for best picture. Whether the same effect could follow “Barbie" will be one of the biggest questions leading up the Academy Awards.

Hillary Clinton reacted to Greta Gerwig and Margot Robbie getting snubbed at the 2024 Oscar nominations. Gerwig and Robbie weren't nominated for best director and best actress for "Barbie." "Greta & Margot," Clinton wrote in a text post on both X and Instagram, set against a bright-pink background. AdvertisementAnd to refresh on what went down eight long years ago in the 2016 American presidential election, Clinton won the popular vote by a a few million over Republican candidate Donald Trump. However, Trump won 30 states (plus a bonus district in Maine, which splits its electoral votes), meaning that he won 306 electoral votes in comparison to Clinton's 232.
