Netflix to Stream Oscar-Nominated Short Film 'The Singers'
Netflix announced it will globally release the Oscar-nominated live-action short film "The Singers" on Feb. 13, according to Variety. Directed by Sam Davis, the film's availability on the streaming platform presents a significant opportunity for Academy voters and general audiences to view the acclaimed work.
The release comes as Oscar season intensifies, with attention also focused on the screenplay race. Variety noted that while most Oscar prognostication centers on best picture, acting, and directing categories, the writing nominees often receive less attention.
Meanwhile, various news outlets reported on a range of unrelated events. Halle Berry publicly criticized Governor Newsom, according to Vox, while a ransom demand was made in connection to Savannah Guthrie's mother. Vox also reported that U.K. police are investigating Peter Mandelson regarding alleged email leaks related to Jeffrey Epstein. YouTube star Ms. Rachel faced scrutiny for liking an antisemitic comment and perceived bias in social media posts about the Gaza conflict, sparking debate about influencer responsibility, according to Vox.
In other film-related news, First Lady Melania Trump's new film grossed over $7 million in its first weekend, which has been presented as proof of audience demand, cultural relevance, and cinematic success. However, Time argued that the film is "not a documentary" but "a one-hour and 44-minute branding exercise, or an extended piece of reputation management presented in the visual language of nonfiction cinema."
Time also published a list of "50 Most Underappreciated Movies of the 21st Century," highlighting films that may have been overlooked despite their quality.
