So many celebrities were in attendance at the Chanel and Charles Finch Pre-Oscar Dinner ahead of the 2024 Academy Awards!

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic In a strange reversal of a longstanding trend with the Academy, this year’s documentary short ballot is almost entirely domestic (which is to say, films made by or about Americans), while the feature doc category — where subtitles aren’t so common — is entirely international. Judging by the overall quality of the films in the 141-minute “2024 Oscar Nominated Short Films: Documentary” lineup, that’s no sign of compromise. In fact, for Oscar completists, ShortsTV’s annual roundup is one of the most rewarding theatrical experiences audiences could hope for this year.

which went viral last month, was advertised as “a celebration of sweetness and imagination” that was inspired by the hit movie Wonka and the Roald Dahl book behind it. Outraged parents began demanding a refund shortly after it opened, describing it as a “farce” run by “cowboys”.The event’s organisers, House of Illuminati, decided to pull the plug just hours into its opening day.

It wouldn't be truly World Book Day unless we spied adorable children in the cutest outfits - and this year was no different - and it wasn't just the kids getting involved either. Stars including Rochelle Humes and Kerry Katona were clearly up before their alarms this morning to help their sweet children get ready for a day of dressing up fun at school to celebrate some of the world's biggest stars. The Hitlist host Rochelle was first to share adorable pictures of her two youngest children, Valentina, six, and Blake, three dressed as very convincing Oompa Loompas from Roald Dahl classic Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

The Simpsons has once again appeared to have predicted a current-day event – this time in the recent ‘Willy Wonka Experience’ fiasco in Glasgow.The Wonka-themed chocolate “experience” in Glasgow had been branded “awful” by furious parents and forced to shut just hours after opening.Dubbed as ‘Willy’s Chocolate Experience’, the event advertised “a celebration of sweetness and imagination”, inspired by the hit movie Wonka and the Roald Dahl book that inspired it.Tickets cost £35 and promised audio and visual effects, dancing Oompa-Loompas and chocolate fountains, but delivered little more than a barely-decorated warehouse with a smattering of plastic candy canes and a small bouncy castle.Now, fans of The Simpsons have noticed the similarity between the ill-fated event and an episode from season five, ‘Bart’s Inner Child’ when Homer explains to Marge that he plans to open a play park for children in the family’s back garden.Homer dreams of charging $50 to enter ‘Homerland’ which features ‘Trampoline World’ (one trampoline per hour children), ‘Mudville USA’ which is just a large puddle and ‘Fort Adventure’ – which turns out to be a pile of dirty mattresses.Check out the eerie similarities here:The Simpsons did it again

At their nearest point, Taiwan and mainland China are less than a hundred miles apart. But historically and politically – for over 70 years – a broad gulf has separated them. In the case of the Kinmen Islands, part of Taiwan, the paradox between geography and history is even more stark: the islands sit but a few miles from the mainland city of Xiamen, in the increasingly fraught waters of the Taiwan Strait.
