It\u2019s a stark shift from other Israeli films that are nominated for an Oscar, which usually receive boastful accolades in the run-up to the awards ceremony. But the country is still reeling from the Oct. 7, 2023 Hamas attack, with dozens of hostages still in captivity, and the devastating war, the longest intensive combat in Israeli history, which killed more than 48,000 Palestinians and 2,000 Israelis.<\/p>\n<p>The timing is simply too sensitive, said Raya Morag, a professor at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem who specializes in cinema and trauma.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cEveryone is in mourning or in trauma, we can hardly hear any other voice on any other subject,\u201d she said. Morag, who is part of the left-wing peace movement, said she believes there will be a place for this film, made by a Palestinian-Israeli collective, in the future discourse, but only after the hostages have returned, the destroyed homes have been rebuilt, a new election is held to replace the current right-wing government, and the country goes through a \u201ccollective mourning process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She noted that the documentary film \u201cFive Broken Cameras,\u201d which documented life in a Palestinian village along the Israeli security fence, became part of a national conversation because it was released in 2012, during a relatively peaceful period between outbursts of active conflict.<\/p>\n<div class=\"also-read print-hide\" data-ga-label=\"AlsoReadArticle\">\n<div class=\"element\">\n<div class=\"picture\"><img data-original=\"https:\/\/th-i.thgim.com\/public\/entertainment\/movies\/22l13c\/article69270152.ece\/alternates\/SQUARE_80\/Copy%20of%20G2%20Cover%201.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-device-variant=\"SQUARE~SQUARE~SQUARE~SQUARE\" class=\"media-object lazy adaptive placeholder lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"100%\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u201cNo Other Land\u201d has also struggled in the U.S., where it could not find a distributor despite a litany of accolades.<\/p>\n<p>Brandi Carlile is a <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/oscar-nominations-2025-music-original-song-score-1a177c09cdf2a709c1b492961c79f761\">first-time Oscar nominee,<\/a> having written \u201cNever Too Late\u201d with Elton John.

Aurora.<\/p>\n<p>The short film has amassed more than 3 million YouTube views, and was even shown in cinemas with a red carpet event.<\/p>\n<p>Aurora was curious about \u201cEmilia Perez,\u201d but since the film didn\u2019t premiere until very late in the awards season in Mexico, she had to watch it (first) using a pirated link. She didn\u2019t like it at all, finding its trans and Mexican representation derogatory and problematic.<\/p>\n<p>So she took to TikTok with a pitch: The trans heirs of two millionaire French feuding families, Johanne Sacreblu and Agtugo Ratatouille (performed by Aurora and the Yeyl\u00e1n Torres, respectively), fall in love in the middle of their battle to decide if the croissant or the baguette is the ultimate French bread.<\/p>\n<p>Her followers suggested she fundraise. Aurora collected around $1,700 (35,000 Mexican pesos). She composed and recorded the songs for the 28-minute musical, which premiered the same weekend as \u201cEmilia Perez\u201d did in Mexico. It notched 1 million viewers in just three days.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were the ant that faced the giant, it\u2019s very incredible,\u201d Aurora told The Associated Press. \u201cI was doing activism, and my activism began the moment I gathered 50 people using only TikTok videos who came together to work two, three days, many hours, just for the pleasure of laughing about this film that a few days ago only made them angry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The film has collected double its original budget. She\u2019s donated part of the profits to two organizations, the feminist group Las Hijas de Mayahuel, which advocates for dignified menstrual health and provides medical care as well as the Grupo Nacional de B\u00fasqueda, a collective of organizations of relatives of disappeared people in Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>And, soon, expect a part two.<\/p>\n<p>AP photographer Chris Pizzello is a veteran of awards shows \u2014 and their red carpets. Here\u2019s how he gets the shot amid fierce competition:<\/p>\n<p>I am a naturally quiet person, so I\u2019ve never been a yeller. Even when I do yell, everyone complains that they can\u2019t hear me! So I try to concentrate on capturing what red carpet photographers call \u201cmoments.\u201d A wave. A wink. A spontaneous burst of laughter. Or maybe a look back over the shoulder as the celebrity is walking away. It\u2019s just a matter of always being attentive. I also occasionally like to focus on interesting details, like shoes or necklaces.<\/p>\n<p>Abraham Alexander and Black Pumas\u2019 Adrian Quesada, who composed \u201cLike A Bird\u201d for \u201cSing Sing,\u201d are up for best original song this year. It marks their first ever Academy Award nominations. But because the nominees in that category won\u2019t perform in 2025, they won\u2019t hit the stage with the likes of 16-nominee Diane Warren or Elton John.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe would love to share the stage with Elton John and so forth. But what\u2019s a performance if it\u2019s not for people to share? What\u2019s a song if ears can\u2019t hear it?\u201d Alexander said on the red carpet. \u201cWe heard they wanted to honor people that were affected by the fires and we were here while it was happening. So, we\u2019re about people. And whichever way we can elevate people\u2019s humanity and human experience, we\u2019re all about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Two of Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s lookalikes \u2014 yes, <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/timothee-chalamet-lookalike-dune-7acc6bda7612cb72eca31d2cc0106028\">those lookalikes<\/a> \u2014 spent the weekend in Los Angeles filming an advertisement for New York hairdresser Sergio Slavnov\u2019s Avenue Man hair care brand.<\/p>\n<p>Miles Mitchell and Zander Dueve placed first and second in <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/timothee-chalamet-lookalike-dune-7acc6bda7612cb72eca31d2cc0106028\">the October contest<\/a> hosted by YouTuber Anthony Po.

I don\u2019t feel like I\u2019m in competition; I feel like I\u2019m with the best in class.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maclin still has one person on his wish list to meet: Denzel Washington.<\/p>\n<p>Bowen Yang was among the earlier celebrities to arrive. Excited and dancing his way through the carpet, he blew kisses to fans. His \u201cWicked\u201d co-star Ethan Slater was close behind, perhaps less excited for the spotlight: \u201cNo thanks,\u201d he said to a passing photographer looking to take a snap. Fans asked him who he would text first if \u201cWicked\u201d won: \u201cMy sister,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the screaming fans in the bleachers entered contests through local TV and radio stations to get the coveted spot on the red carpet.

As the city moves into rebuild mode, stars will likely up their fashion games for the biggest awards night of the season: The Oscars.<\/p>\n<p>Cynthia Erivo: Erivo has always taken fashion risks, ditching her Elphaba black for last week\u2019s Screen Actors Guild awards, opting for a silver Givenchy look with a high shaggy collar worthy of her bad witch role.<\/p>\n<p>Jeremy Strong: He wore a mint green suit with a bucket hat in the same color to the Golden Globes.

She\u2019s been working with stylist Jamie Mizrahi, who has dressed Adele and Jennifer Lawrence, among many other celebs.<\/p>\n<p>AP photographer Chris Pizzello has been shooting the Oscars for more than a decade. Here\u2019s his take on what makes this awards season different:<\/p>\n<p>This is the least predictable awards season in memory. Usually, I\u2019m about 95% correct in training my lens on the eventual winner of a category in the audience, but this year I\u2019d say I\u2019m more 75%.<\/p>\n<p>Mikey Madison seemed to have the late awards season momentum with wins at BAFTA and the <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/independent-spirit-awards-2025-618441f0da3479801f8faa5ee8239c72\">Independent Spirit Awards,<\/a> but then Demi Moore struck back at the SAGs.
