Big-budget blockbusters, indie hits, acclaimed arthouse contenders mostly watched on video on demand, a German Netflix film and whatever it is, exactly, that you call Elvis. Little in this race has gone as expected. Many of the once-presumed favorites — Bardo, Empire of Light, White Noise — fizzled. Steven Spielberg’s The Fabelmans had the air of a sure-thing, but audiences didn’t show up — a strike against any contender but a fatal blow for a Spielberg movie. Academy members, seemingly, have developed less of a taste for Oscar bait and instead thrown their support behind a movie that never had any designs on the Academy Awards: Everything Everywhere All at Once. In an odd, mixed-up year, Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert’s blissfully chaotic film has turned into an improbable Oscar runaway, cleaning up at all the predictive guild awards. This year, the road to best picture is paved with googly eyes.This is the fourth student suicide being reported from Telangana within the last 10 days.Now, days after his upcoming film Kalki 2898 AD received a release date, Prabhas has announced his next project, wherein he will join forces with ‘‘pakka commercial’ director Maruthi.
