On this March 16th, here's what's making entertainment headlines.
The 98th Academy Awards took place this weekend at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles,
where one battle after another won Best Picture and
Snagged six awards total, including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay for Paul Thomas Anderson.
Michael B. Jordan pulled off an upset for Best Actor and Senors,
beating Timothy Chalameh, while Jesse Buckley took Best Actress for Hamnet.
ITV aired the coverage in the UK with,
Jonathan Ross leading the panel alongside El Assyly Wood, Samson Cayo, and Fred Asquith.
Ross, who is 65, returned to the gig after a break, but viewers quickly pointed out several
slip-ups during the live broadcast. Fans on X called out Ross for mispronouncing names,
like host Conan O'Brien's and Norwegian actress Renate Rinesvays, plus mixing up Avere Bardem
and Benicio del Toro. He even muttered an F-word under his breath, thinking mics were off
right after the mix-up. Reactions poured in online, with people joking about drinking games for
every weird pronunciation and demanding better prep from the panel. Some said the coverage
felt embarrassing, especially comments labeling Amy Madigan's supporting actress win for weapons
as a surprise. Sound glitches plagued to start, with complaints of squeaky audio and bleeping,
but ITV fixed those quickly. The network has not yet commented, as other highlights included,
Ryan Coogler's original screenplay win
for sinners and K-pop demon hunters taking best.
