Ludwig Göransson and EJAE were the big winners at the 7th annual Society of Composers and Lyricists (SCL) Awards, while Olympian Jessie Diggins prepares for her final Olympic games in Milan. The opening ceremony in Milan brought good vibes, according to Time, a welcome change from previous events marred by challenges. Meanwhile, the film "Variations on a Theme" was lauded at the Rotterdam Film Festival.
Göransson, the composer for "Sinners," took home two SCL Awards for his score and the original song "I Lied to You," which he co-wrote with Raphael Saadiq, according to Variety. Songwriters EJAE and M were also recognized at the awards ceremony.
The Olympic opening ceremony in Milan provided a positive experience, a stark contrast to previous games. The 2018 games in PyeongChang were hampered by frigid temperatures, while the 2021 Tokyo games were fanless due to COVID restrictions. The 2022 Beijing games were also affected by COVID protocols, and the Paris ceremony was rained out, according to Time.
Jessie Diggins, America's most-decorated cross-country skier, is preparing for her fourth and final Olympics in Milan-Cortina. Diggins, 34, is aiming to win the first individual Olympic gold medal for the United States in her sport. She emphasized the importance of sharing her final Olympic experience with friends, family, and fans, a support system that was absent during the Beijing games, where she won silver and bronze medals. "That's why I'm here, training my brains out," Diggins told Time.
In the film world, "Variations on a Theme," a short film by Jason Jacobs and Devon Delmar, won praise at the Rotterdam Film Festival. The film is a portrait of a Northern Cape community still burdened by history, according to Variety.
