77 m. ago Saldaña squished and Chalamet chafing as Ariana and Cynthia bag the best seats: the 2025 Oscars class photo

The Academy Award nominees assembled for their annual group portrait, but who scooped the prize for looking the most bored?Every year during Oscars week, it has become tradition for all the nominees to meet up and eat a meal together. This is usually followed by a group photo; something that the people in attendance can look back upon and cherish, knowing that for this one moment all competition fell away and they found joy in surrounding themselves with their gifted colleagues.At least that’s the idea. As anyone who has ever been in a group photo will attest, these things are an absolute mess. There are simply too many people to control, and the resulting image is generally a free-for-all of weird costumes, odd expressions and seemingly hostile body language. As such, let’s use this year’s Oscars class photo to hand out some awards of our own. Continue reading...

2 h. ago From Mee to Barré: meet the unexpected stars of an enthralling Six Nations | Robert Kitson

Then, after just 10 professional games for Scarlets, he was parachuted into the national team as part of a productive back three alongside his similarly positive clubmates Blair Murray and Tom Rogers. Suddenly it’s all Me...
