Cillian Murphy had to have his head "glued shut" on the set of "Oppenheimer." Emily Blunt gave him a luxury pillow to help him sleep during the intense production. Because Murphy wasn't used to it, he turned over in the night and smacked his head on a table. AdvertisementCillian Murphy had to have his head glued shut by a makeup artist at 3 a.m. on the "Oppenheimer" set after he cut it open while sleeping on a pillow Emily Blunt gave him. The pillow isn't the first gift that Blunt gave to her "Oppenheimer" colleagues, as in January she recalled giving the director his own pair of Ugg boots.

NEW YORK (AP) — Christopher Nolan was still sleeping when his film, “Oppenheimer," landed a leading 13 Academy Awards nominations Tuesday. “Oppenheimer,” Nolan's sprawling American saga of J. Walter Oppenheimer and the creation of the atomic bomb, has more or less been the Oscar frontrunner since it made its acclaimed debut in late July. It came one nomination shy of tying the record for best Oscar nominations ever. “It's flabbergasting," said Thomas who spoke with her husband in an interview a few hours after nominations were announced. And so I think that’s something that really touched audiences.

CNN —The nominees for the 2024 BAFTA Film Awards have been announced, with “Oppenheimer” leading the charge with 13 nominations. There were few surprises from the British Academy, with strong awards season favorites faring well, including Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things” with 11 nominations and Martin Scorsese’s “Killers of the Flower Moon” with nine. Standing out from the crowd was “The Zone of Interest,” Jonathan Glazer’s unique film about the Holocaust, which achieved nine nominations. “Barbie” received nods in five categories, including Margot Robbie for best actress, but did not land a best picture nomination. The awards ceremony, hosted by actor David Tennant, will be held at the Royal Festival Hall, in London, on February 18.

Impossible is often just a starting point on a Christopher Nolan film and “Oppenheimer,”about the father of the atomic bomb, was no exception. She told them at the time that if there were ever a zombie apocalypse, they were the people she’d want to be with. “Every day there’s something that happens and you have to figure out a way out of it. It was the perfect claustrophobic, unglamourous and period-specific setting for a humiliating ordeal designed to make Oppenheimer feel small. When he glued it all together, it sounded perfect — but perfect felt wrong.

☆ Mexico blames Grupo Mexico for 2014 toxic spill, wants new cleanup plan

Grupo Mexico failed to remediate the river's water and soil and did not provide the funds to carry out proper works for the environmental recovery of the area, according to Albores. The company needed to provide an initial 2 billion pesos ($111.86 million), of which it only provided half, she said. The possible fine for the spill was set at up to 40 million pesos, worth about $3 million then. Grupo Mexico did not immediately reply to a request for comment on the causes of the spill and the government complaint. Shares in Grupo Mexico were down 2.3% after Albores' comments on Thursday.

☆ Video and Photos Show a Tiny, Critically Endangered Porpoise Still Hanging On
▼ + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Catrin Einhorn | ) www.nytimes.com time to read: +1 min

The world’s most endangered marine mammal, a small porpoise called the vaquita, is hanging onto existence and appears to be benefiting from new conservation measures, according to the results of a new scientific survey of the species that was made public on Wednesday. An international team of scientists estimated that at least 10 vaquitas remain in the Gulf of California, the waters that separate Baja California from the Mexican mainland. The porpoises are found nowhere else and have been driven to the brink of extinction by drowning in gill nets, a type of fishing gear that drifts like a huge mesh curtain, catching fish by their gills. Dolphins, sea turtles and vaquitas get stuck, too, dying when they can’t surface to breathe. “Today, we have good news, hopeful news,” María Luisa Albores González, Mexico’s secretary of environment and natural resources, said at a news conference announcing the survey results.

☆ Thousands of union contracts to dissolve in Mexico's fight against pro-company deals
▼ + stars: | 2023-05-03 | by ( Daina Beth Solomon | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Mexico committed to eliminating these so-called "protection contracts" under the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA), a trade pact that replaced the 1994 NAFTA. "This is historic, because we finally managed to rid the labor market of pretend contracts and fake unions," Labor Minister Alcalde said in an interview. Since the vote process began four years ago, workers have cast ballots on some 20,000 contracts in sectors spanning autos, retail and mining. The Independent Mexico Labor Expert Board, a U.S. advisory committee, said in March the small number of rejected contracts "raises serious doubts about the credibility" of the process. Alcalde said she expects unions to aim to establish new contracts in place of ones that were canceled.

☆ US and Mexico to submit bid to co-host 2027 Women's World Cup

MEXICO CITY, April 19 (Reuters) - The United States and Mexico have informed FIFA they will submit a bid to co-host the 2027 Women's World Cup, the countries' federations said on Wednesday. US Soccer (USSF) and Mexico's football federation (FMF) have until May 19 to formally submit their 'Bidding Agreement'. The United States previously hosted the Women's World Cup in 1999, when they won the second of their record four titles, and in 2003. "The United States has always been a global leader for the women’s game, and we would be honoured to co-host the world’s premier event for women’s soccer along with Mexico," said USSF President Cindy Parlow Cone. Mexico, the U.S. and Canada will co-host the men's World Cup in 2026.

☆ US, Mexico aim to find 13,000 Mexican migrant workers owed $6.5 mln in wages

MEXICO CITY, March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. and Mexican officials on Tuesday said 13,000 Mexican migrant workers are owed a total of $6.5 million in unpaid wages from U.S. workplaces, and will work to help beneficiaries now living in Mexico claim their pay from U.S. labor authorities. Ambassador to Mexico Ken Salazar said the effort marked an unprecedented collaboration between the U.S. and Mexico to support workers who for years have been short-changed. "In past governments, this would not have happened," he said at an event in Mexico City alongside Mexican labor officials. Mexico will also launch a public campaign to encourage workers to come forward if they believe they qualify for checks. "The work ahead is to find these 13,000," Mexican Labor Minister Luisa Alcalde said.

☆ Uber, delivery apps propose offering Mexico drivers social security

MEXICO CITY, Nov 23 (Reuters) - Tech giant Uber (UBER.N) and delivery apps DiDi and Rappi have proposed offering social security benefits to workers in Mexico for the first time ahead of a new government bill set to regulate the gig economy. They stopped short of agreeing to classify drivers as employees, however, and few details were given on how payments towards social security costs would be divided. It is also unclear if the bill will seek to make drivers employees, or propose other reforms in line with the apps' statement. Ridesharing and delivery apps worldwide have pushed back against calls to classify workers as employees rather than independent contractors, saying the change would hinder their business models and deny drivers flexibility.

Ruinele satului Curon din Italia, acoperit de ape în 1950 când autoritățile au decis să construiască o hidrocentrală și un baraj în zonă, au devenit vizibile după ce lacul de acumulare Resia a fost secat temporar, informează BBC. Resia se află în Tirolul de Sud, o regiune alpină care se învecinează cu Austria și Elveția. Luisa Azzolini, care locuiește în zonă, a postat pe Instagram mai multe imagini și clipuri video realizate printre ruine. Satul Curon a fost inundat în 1950, când autoritățile au decis să construiască un baraj și să unească două lacuri din apropiere, în ciuda opoziției localnicilor. Peste 160 de locuințe au fost scufundate, iar populația satului s-a dispersat - deși o parte a ales să rămână în noul sat construit în apropiere.
