    Robert De Niro Blasts Trump, Says ‘I Want to Love My Country Again’

    American actor Robert De Niro has long been a vocal critic of Donald Trump. His latest comments were made during the Rise Up, Sing Out concert held at The Town Hall in New York City on Sunday night.

    The event, dedicated to supporting First Amendment rights in America, was organized by the Committee for the First Amendment, a collective of artists such as Jane Fonda and various cultural leaders. The goal was to celebrate the freedoms guaranteed by the First Amendment—including speech, religion, press, assembly, and protest.

    On stage, De Niro expressed his disappointment with the current state of the country under Trump’s leadership and emphasized his commitment to defending free speech. He stated, “All aspects of the First Amendment matter, not just free speech. Personally, I lean toward being a free speech absolutist—even for opinions I disagree with, and there’s plenty of that. When I hear something I dislike, I respond with my own free speech.” He gave an example, saying, “When Trump recently claimed he doesn’t think about Americans’ financial situations, I told him, ‘Shut the f**k up!’”

    De Niro also shared that the phrase “we all love our country” became difficult to say after it was uttered at a committee event last October. “Because our country isn’t so loveable right now. I hate to admit it, but loving our country is starting to feel like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser. I can’t love a nation that begins stupid and inhumane wars,” the 82-year-old Oscar winner remarked.

    He concluded his passionate speech by asserting his desire to see his “country back.” Other notable attendees included Julia Roberts, Bette Midler, Ms. Rachel, Tessa Thompson, and Rufus Wainwright.

  • Israel Arrests ‘No Other Land’ Director Hamdan Ballal

    Israel Arrests ‘No Other Land’ Director Hamdan Ballal

    A wave of outrage was recently sparked on social media after reports revealed that Israeli authorities arrested Hamdan Bilal, a Palestinian activist and director who worked on the Oscar-winning film No Other Land. According to the Israeli website Yior Azul, Hamdan was arrested on suspicion of throwing stones at Israeli settlers in the West Bank. The arrest follows the killing of Palestinian activist and teacher Zeid Halalin, who was shot by an Israeli settler in Masafer Yatta.

    Zaid Halalin, who helped document Israeli attacks on Palestinians living in Masafer Yatta, was killed during a settler attack on the village of Umm al-Hiran, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Education.

    According to the report, violent clashes broke out between Palestinians and Israeli settlers, forcing local police to intervene and arrest a number of parties, including Hamdan. The clashes resulted in the damage of several cars in the area.

    In March 2025, Hamdan Bilal was violently attacked inside his home in Masafer Yatta, where he was hospitalized with head and abdominal injuries. Prior to his transfer, Israeli forces attempted to arrest him, but he was later released.

    The incident sparked widespread outrage from pro-Palestinian and human rights activists, calling for the protection of the Palestinian population in the West Bank and expressing fears of future escalation of violence.

    Oscar Nominations Delayed, Voting Extended Due to LA Fires

    Los Angeles: The recent wildfires in Southern California have significantly impacted social life, reaching into the entertainment sector as well.

    The Academy has extended the deadline for Oscar nomination voting by two days due to the ongoing fires. Voting for the nearly 10,000 Academy members commenced on January 8 and was initially set to conclude on January 12, as reported by ‘Variety’.

    The new deadline is now January 14. Additionally, the announcement for the nominations, which was originally planned for January 17, has been rescheduled to January 19.

    According to ‘Variety’, Conan O’Brien is set to host the Oscars in 2025, which will take place on March 2. The Academy communicated the schedule changes to its members on Wednesday afternoon through an email from CEO Bill Kramer.

    “We extend our heartfelt sympathies to all those affected by the devastating wildfires in Southern California,” the email stated. “Many of our members and colleagues live and work in the Los Angeles region, and our thoughts are with you.”

    The International Feature Shortlist Screening slated for Wednesday night in Los Angeles has been postponed to later in the week. Moreover, the in-person Bake-Off events for the Los Angeles Sound Branch and the Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch, both scheduled for January 11 in Los Angeles and New York City, have been canceled. The Visual Effects Branch Bake-Offs, also planned for January 11 in Los Angeles and the Bay Area, have similarly been called off.

    This extension of the voting period coincides with the cancellation or postponement of numerous premieres and events in the Los Angeles area due to the severe fires. Amazon MGM Studios and Universal Pictures were among the first to cancel their premieres of ‘Unstoppable’ and ‘Wolf Man,’ originally set for Tuesday night. In the meantime, Paramount and Max also scrapped their Wednesday premieres of ‘Better Man’ and ‘The Pitt.’

  • Oscar Dark Horse About 1972 Munich Olympics Unveils Trailer

    Oscar Dark Horse About 1972 Munich Olympics Unveils Trailer

    Paramount Pictures has unveiled the trailer for September 5, a gripping drama that many industry experts are keeping a close eye on for the 2025 Oscars.

    This intense film narrates the harrowing events of the terrorist attacks that took place during the 1972 Munich Olympics, viewed through the lens of the ABC Sports crew broadcasting the games. The Palestinian terrorist organization known as Black September stormed the Olympic Village, taking several Israeli athletes hostage. “There’s a hostage situation happening right now in the Olympic Village,” states Geoff Mason, portrayed by John Magaro, who is a producer at ABC Sports.

    Amid the studio’s location crisis, ABC Sports shifts its focus from the Olympic games to providing updates on the dire hostage situation. An estimated 1 billion people tuned in to witness this global broadcast. Despite the soaring viewership, Geoff and his colleagues face profound moral and ethical challenges in their coverage, including the possibility of broadcasting the terrorists executing hostages live.

    “This is our story, and we’re holding onto it,” asserts Peter Sarsgaard’s character, Roone Arledge, the iconic ABC executive.

    SEPTEMBER 5 | Official Trailer (2024 Movie)

    Alongside Magaro and Sarsgaard, the ensemble cast of September 5 features Ben Chaplin, Leonie Benesch, Zinedine Soualem, Georgina Rich, Corey Johnson, Marcus Rutherford, Daniel Adeosun, Benjamin Walker, and Ferdinand Dörfler.

    The film is directed by Swiss filmmaker Tim Fehlbaum, known for his work on Hell (2011) and Tides (2021). Fehlbaum collaborated with Moritz Binder and Alex David to co-write the script.

    September 5 had its premiere at the 2024 Venice International Film Festival, where it received an enthusiastic reception. The film is positioned as a potential dark horse in the race for Best Picture at the 2025 Oscars; The Hollywood Reporter currently ranks it as the top contender in its Best Picture prediction list.

    The film is set to release in select theaters on November 29, 2024, before expanding to wider audiences on December 13, 2024.
