SAG Awards: Big Night for ‘CODA’ Makes the Oscar Race More Confusing

Marlee Matlin made history by becoming the first (and still only) deaf actor to win an Oscar, picking up best actress for Children of a Lesser God. This year Matlin is not nominated, but her film Coda is up for three awards: best picture; best adapted screenplay and best supporting actor for her co-star and on-screen husband, the deaf actor Troy Kotsur (he’s the leading contender after trousering the Bafta on Sunday). On paper, Coda doesn’t look like a gamechanger.

Benedict Cumberbatch wants to take part in a new government initiative, launched to help Ukrainian refugees, amid the tragic conflict caused by Russia’s invasion of the Eastern European country.The star of Marvel’s ‘Dr. Strange’ said he is planning to take in Ukrainian refugees, after the UK government unveiled the ‘Homes for Ukraine’ project, offering $457 a month to house families fleeing war.Attending the 2022 BAFTAs ceremony, Benedict announced his support on the red carpet, explaining that “It is a really shocking time to be a European, two and a half hours’ flight away from Ukraine, and it’s something that hangs over us.”The UK has been exploring different ways to help refugees, granting over 4,000 visas, and expecting to receive “tens of thousands” Ukrainians.

LONDON -- Sci-fi epic “Dune” won five prizes and brooding Western “The Power of the Dog” was named best picture as the British Academy Film Awards returned Sunday with a live, black-tie ceremony after a pandemic-curtailed event in 2021.New Zealand filmmaker Jane Campion was named best director for “The Power of the Dog,” becoming only the third woman to win the prize in the awards’ seven-decade history.Lead acting trophies went to Hollywood star Will Smith and British performer Joanna Scanlan, as an event that has worked to overcome a historic lack of diversity recognized a wide range of talents — including its first deaf acting winner in Troy Kotsur for “CODA.”Last year’s awards ceremony was largely conducted online, with only the hosts and presenters appearing in person.

Kenneth Branagh and his wife Lindsay Brunnock cut a glamorous pair as they posed arm-in-arm on the red carpet at this year's BAFTA Film Awards at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday.

Manori Ravindran International EditorRebel Wilson, one of the BAFTA Awards’ most memorable presenters in past years, did not disappoint as its host.The “Pitch Perfect” actor stole the show on Sunday during the first BAFTA Awards to take place in-person since the organizations’s groundbreaking 2020 diversity review.Wilson presented the best director award at the ceremony in 2020 and brought the house down with a gag-filled speech that in one fell swoop managed to burn Prince Harry, Prince Andrew, COVID-19 (then still but a conceptual threat for Brits), the lack of swag bags, “Cats” (in which she starred) and the lack of women nominated for best director.No one was spared from Wilson’s numerous barbs during the 2022 ceremony either. While not every joke landed with the British crowd — and were further challenged by the cavernous acoustics of the Royal Albert Hall — one attendee remarked that Wilson deserved a standing ovation for her hosting duties.The absence of Prince William — who is president of BAFTA — and Princess Kate likely allowed Wilson to let rip, and the actor-comedian certainly didn’t hold back in taking the Royal family to task.
