Firstpost's review of Nomadland: "Living the nomad life is a choice for some, the only option for others. Staring at the same set of four walls will give anyone the travel bug. But Zhao suggests it's something more for Americans: it’s a tradition that defines their very cultural identity."

Lakshmi G Javeri examines The Academy's bias towards popular Disney/Pixar musicals: "While I had my fingers crossed for Mank, I was left distinctly unimpressed by the score of Soul, especially since the movie has a strong music element in its narrative. Perhaps I expected more… soul?"

Aditya Mani Jha writes of Trent Reznor, Atticus Ross and Jon Batiste's original score for Soul: "The soundtrack of Soul is like a warm hug: I cannot think of a simpler way to describe it, really. Pixar films, of course, famous for precisely this kind of thing, and the music of Soul is a big part of why the film became such a runaway success. It is not an add-on or an afterthought: it is, in a lot of scenes the very engine that drives the emotional rollercoaster. You will find yourself humming bits of several tracks days, weeks after you watch the film."

Anna Vetticad reviews If Anything Happens, I Love You: "Loss is the theme of actor-writer-director duo Michael Govier and Will McCormack’s If Anything Happens I Love You, a silent drama about the chasm that develops between two people when their 10-year-old daughter dies. Instead of sustaining them through their sorrow, memories of their beloved child cast a giant shadow on the couple’s relationship.
The differing ways in which individuals grieve is exemplified by a telling scene featuring the family’s pet cat playing around while the parents struggle to converse with each other.
Govier and McCormack (who is credited as one of the story writers of Toy Story 4) have opted for a sparing use of colour in minimalist sketches backed by Lindsay Marcus’ thoughtful music, a blend that serves to underline the emptiness of the lives playing out on screen. When the cause of the child’s death is revealed, it might seem to some like too fleeting a mention for such a serious issue, but If Anything Happens I Love You is not about the politics of violence – it is about the people left behind."

We're following the 93rd Academy Awards LIVE at Firstpost. If you want a quick refesher on how the Oscars 2021 ceremony is being broadcast, or what the much anticipated highlights from this edition will be, we've got you covered. Watch along with us.
Oscars 2021 LIVE updates: An Oscars ceremony unlike any other will play out on 26 April IST, with history on the line in major categories and a telecast that has been completely retooled for the pandemic.
At the 93rd Academy Awards, there is no host, no audience, nor face masks for nominees attending the ceremony at Los Angeles’ Union Station — the hub this year for a show usually broadcast from the Dolby Theatre. In contrast with the largely virtual Golden Globes, Zoom boxes have been closed out — though international hubs and satellite feeds will connect nominees unable to travel.
The red carpet was back Sunday, minus the throngs of onlookers and with socially distanced interviews. Only a handful of media outlets were allowed on site, behind a velvet rope and some distance from the nominees.
Casual wear, the academy warned nominees early on, was a no-no. During the Oscar preshow, nominees gathered at an outdoor set at Union Station that resembled an open-air cocktail lounge.
Show producers are hoping to return some of the traditional glamour to the Oscars, even in a pandemic year. The pre-show included pre-taped performances of the five Oscar-nominated songs. The first, 'Husavik (My Hometown)' from Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga, was shot in the Iceland town’s harbor. Other performances were made from the top of the film academy’s new $500 million museum.
Pulling the musical interludes (though not the in memoriam segment) from the three-hour broadcast — and drastically cutting down the time it will take winners to reach the podium — will free up a lot of time in the ceremony. And producers, led by filmmaker Steven Soderbergh, are promising a reinvented telecast.
From the preshow, it was clear this year’s Oscars would try to rekindle excitement in moviegoing after a pandemic year nearly eliminated it. A glossy montage of upcoming movies introduced by Matthew McConaughey declared” “The big screen is back.”
The Oscars will look more like a movie, Soderbergh has said. The show will be shot in 24 frames-per-second (as opposed to 30), appear more widescreen and the presenters — including Brad Pitt, Halle Berry, Reese Witherspoon, Harrison Ford, Rita Moreno and Zendaya — are considered “cast members.” The telecast’s first 90 seconds, Soderbergh has claimed, will “announce our intention immediately.”
