Katie Reul editor The 66th annual British Film Institute (BFI) London Film Festival announced winners Saturday evening for a competition group representing a diverse selection of stories ranging from period pieces to eerie thrillers. Writer-director Marie Kreutzer’s “Corsage,” was recognized with the festival’s highest honor — the best film award — continuing the historical drama’s festival praise after lead actress Vicky Krieps was awarded the Un Certain Regard best performance prize at Cannes. Set during Christmas in 1877, “Corsage” follows Empress Elizabeth as she attempts to find liberation from the stifling conformity of her stuffy, image-focused lifestyle as a Vienna royal. Though the film is in part based on the historical figure, who reigned for 44 years, artistic deviations are made in the former ruler’s story.
Top Dems silent after Katie Hobbs supports no legal limits on abortion
12.10.2022 - 01:39 / foxnews.com
Top Democratic leaders are staying away from Arizona gubernatorial candidate Katie Hobbs's suggestion that the government should not put any limits on how late in a pregnancy women can get an abortion. Hobbs appeared on CBS Sunday to discuss her race against GOP nominee Kari Lake, who supports allowing abortions up to the first 15 weeks of pregnancy.
When asked what she thinks about that restriction and whether she favors any specific time limit on abortion, Hobbs indicated she supports no limit at all. "I support leaving the decision between a woman and her doctor and leaving politicians entirely out of it," Hobbs said.
Representatives for President Biden, Vice President Harris, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin, D-Ill., House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., and House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer, D-Md., all declined to respond to requests for comment from Fox News Digital on whether they agree with Hobbs' stance.
