Oscars 2018: "We can't let bad behavior slide anymore. The world is watching us. We need to set an example," said Jimmy Kimmel

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has long been a fan of dropping literary references into business conversation. He quoted Nietzsche in an investor call. He's paraphrased Oscar Wilde in an employee memo. He's tweeted book lists that include Plato and Piaget, and shared insights about teamwork from a nonfiction tale of the rowing team that won the 1936 O...

It's been dubbed the Super Bowl of diplomacy, the Oscars of world statesmanship: the UN General Assembly kicks off on Tuesday with US President Donald Trump in the spotlight as he makes his first address to the 193-nation body.

The vote late Tuesday followed a tumultuous several months for the body that bestows the Oscars, with the all-white slate of acting nominees at the 2016 ceremony sparking outrage

The Oscars were overshadowed by a row on the lack of black nominees, but Hollywood's biggest night also witnessed commentary on issues ranging from climate change to gay rights. "Let us not take this planet for granted. I do not take tonight for granted," said Leonardo DiCaprio, winner of Best Actor award

"It wasn't a broad-based movement that threatened the economic viability of the Oscars, but the celebrity status of the boycotters, given the nature of what they were trying to do, made it quite harmful, said Maurice Schweitzer, co-author of Friend & Foe: When to Cooperate, When to Compete, and How to Succeed at Both

Spike Lee said that he is boycotting the Oscars next month because for the second year in a row all the nominees in the actor categories are white in an Instagram post. Actress Jada Pinkett Smith also posted a video on Facebook saying that she too would not be attending the February 28

The #OscarsSoWhite hashtag created by April Reign was useful again when, for the second year in a row, the list of Oscar nominees didn't include a single actor of color. Among the potential benefits of an Academy Award is that getting a nomination can be a ticket to membership to your branch of the Academy

No sooner had the nominations been announced at a ceremony in Beverly Hills than the hashtag #OscarsSoWhite began trending on Twitter, as was the case last year. "Hollywood sure loves sequels: for the second year in a row, zero actors of color get Oscar nominations," an article on a website said

Chelsea F.C.'s Diego Costa reportedly reacted angrily to an aggressive knee-high challenge from teammate Oscar during practice, who was said to be furious with a previous tough tackle from the notoriously temperamental Spain striker

The Film Federation of India has distanced itself from disgruntled former jury member Rahul Rawail, who accused Oscar jury head Amol Palekar of being 'manipulative' and obnoxious'. "What we would have appreciated is a situation where he could have spoken to the FFI President and other senior officials before going to the media"

"Our chairman Amol Palekar had only one agenda right from the beginning that Court shouldn't come. He was very adamant that somehow Court should be removed. I don't know the reason behind this but it is true. You can ask anyone else in the jury about it and they'll say that it is correct," said Mr Rawail

Mr Palekar, 70, said via phone, "All of us including him (Rahul Rawail) have signed an undertaking with the Film Federation of India (FFI). We are sworn to be secretive and I will not breach it till I get permission to open my mouth. Regarding his allegations, on a personal level I choose not to respond to his allegations"

The Vishwa Hindu Parishad today appealed to Oscar winning composer AR Rahman to re-convert to Hinduism, saying it was time for his "ghar-wapsi" after the controversy surrounding the film on Prophet Muhammad which invited a fatwa against him.
