Mick Schumacher would have been a “better choice” for Haas than Nico Hulkenberg for the 2023 Formula 1 season from a long-term perspective. That is the opinion of former F1 driver Marc Surer, who remains hopeful that the son of seven-time World Champion Michael will go on to enjoy a successful grand prix career. Schumacher will act as Mercedes’ reserve driver this season after being dropped by Haas at the end of a 2022 campaign in which he recorded just two points finishes, with former Renault driver Nico Hulkenberg – who last raced in F1 on a full-time basis in 2019 – named as his replacement. Surer, who made 82 F1 starts between 1979 and 1986, has been left puzzled by Haas’s decision to drop Schumacher after two years, suggesting the German’s flashes of potential in 2022 hinted at a significant breakthrough in his third full season in 2023. Appearing on Formel.de’s YouTube channel , he said: “With Mick you have someone who has now been paid practically two years of … [Read more...] about Mick Schumacher ‘was certainly the better’ long-term choice for Haas

It’s time to start predicting the 2023 Oscar nominees
Voting for the Academy Award nominations started Thursday, after a pre-ceremony run-up that looked almost normal after 2021's pandemic-bleakened Oscars and last year's untelevised Golden Globes. A reformed Golden Globes returned to TV on Tuesday, nearly two years after the award season's unofficial curtain-raiser was rocked by a racial and ethical scandal that saw Hollywood shun it. The Screen Actors Guild and Directors Guild of America revealed the nominees for their respective awards the next day, and the Producers Guild of America followed suit Thursday, giving film buffs enough information to start handicapping this year's Oscars competition. With less than two weeks until the Academy Award nominations are announced on Jan. 24, here's a look at the state of the race and our predictions for the nominees. - - - 'Fabelmans' and 'Banshees' are the front-runners Let's start with best picture.

‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ dominates 2023 Oscar nominations
Sci-fi extravaganza "Everything Everywhere All At Once" dominated the 95th annual Academy Award nominations Tuesday morning with 11 nods, the most of any film. The absurdist movie was written and directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, a duo who also earned a nod for best director. The field-leading "Everything Everywhere" was followed by nine nominations each for "The Banshees of Inisherin," Martin McDonagh's dark comedy about two best friends in a bitter feud, and the German submission "All Quiet on the Western Front," a World War I drama based on the 1929 novel. All three movies were nominated for best picture. So was the Baz Luhrmann biopic "Elvis"; Steven Spielberg's loosely autobiographical coming of age story "The Fabelmans"; "Tár," which stars Cate Blanchett as a high-strung composer-conductor; "Women Talking," about Mennonite women who must decide what to do after sexual assault arrests disrupt their community; and "Triangle of Sadness," a dark comedy about the … [Read more...] about ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’ dominates 2023 Oscar nominations
Protesters: ‘Cop City’ activist’s killing doesn’t make sense
For free real time breaking news alerts sent straight to your inbox sign up to our breaking news emails Sign up to our free breaking news emails Tortuguita’s cautious voice rang out from a platform amid the tall pines the first time Vienna met them: “Who goes there?” she remembers them calling. The tree-dweller, who chose the moniker Tortuguita – Spanish for “Little Turtle” – over their given name, was perched above the forest floor in the woods just outside Atlanta last summer. Vienna quickly identified herself, and Tortuguita’s watchfulness melted into the bubbly, curious, funny persona so many in the forest knew. They welcomed the newcomer and helped her settle in alongside the other self-proclaimed “forest defenders” on an 85-acre (34-hectare) site officials plan to develop into a huge police and firefighter training center. Protesters derisively call it “Cop City.” “It was a magical experience for me, being able to live out our ideals,” … [Read more...] about Protesters: ‘Cop City’ activist’s killing doesn’t make sense

The rise and fall of the Chrisleys, the latest reality stars to go to prison
Reality TV star Todd Chrisley wanted to be clear: When his former business partner Mark Braddock testified in court last year that he and Chrisley once had an intimate relationship, Chrisley wasn't taken aback because Braddock is a man. He has never cared about the (rampant, nonstop) rumors that he's gay; he has said he finds the speculation flattering. No - he was offended because he thinks Braddock is ugly. "I mean, a toad. I mean, someone that looks like a thumb," Chrisley, 53, said on his podcast several weeks ago in conversation with his 26-year-old son, Chase. Chrisley was also insulted that Braddock, who is married to a woman, characterized the alleged relationship as "just something he wanted to try." "I ain't that small spoon you get at Baskin-Robbins," Chrisley added. "I'm the whole scoop. You don't just get to sample here." "You're the whole damn scoop," Chase echoed, laughing. Viewers familiar with "Chrisley Knows Best," USA Network's extremely popular reality show … [Read more...] about The rise and fall of the Chrisleys, the latest reality stars to go to prison
‘Till’ review: Finding hope in American tragedy
The timing of “Till,” a film about the aftermath of the horrific, white supremacist 1955 slaying of 14-year-old Emmett Till , is fascinating. Earlier this year, a federal anti-lynching bill bearing Till’s name finally became law, 67 years after his murder. The cultural currency of that name has surged after the cultural moment the Black Lives Matter movement forced on America. Yet “Till” took so long to be made that its arrival has raised a new concern: Do Black audiences care to face the agony of the boy’s martyrdom? There's a growing sentiment that these films mainly re-traumatize Black audiences and turn Black suffering into spectacle for the White Gaze. This has become such a point of contention that the director of “Till,” Nigerian-American Chinonye Chukwu, felt the need to record a special message for the trailer assuring wary viewers that this was not trauma porn and images of Till being brutalized did not appear in the film. And it’s true: “Till” isn’t trauma porn. It is … [Read more...] about ‘Till’ review: Finding hope in American tragedy
Internet evidence key, but not enough in no-body murder case
BOSTON (AP) — Prosecutors in Massachusetts are basing their murder case against a man whose wife is presumed dead but whose body has not been found in large part on a series of gruesome internet searches he made around the time of her disappearance. Scouring data on personal electronic devices is a common strategy in criminal cases, but experts warn that incriminating searches are not enough alone to build a solid case. “It would be very challenging to try and base a criminal investigation on just what somebody searched for on the internet,” said Jennifer Lynch, the surveillance litigation director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit that defends digital civil liberties. Brian Walshe used Google to look up ways to dismember and dispose of a body, including “how long before a body starts to smell,” “hacksaw best tool to dismember,” and “10 ways to dispose of a dead body if you really need to,” a prosecutor said when Walshe was arraigned Jan. … [Read more...] about Internet evidence key, but not enough in no-body murder case
2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix team radio transcript · RaceFans
The tension was cranked up to eleven on the Mercedes pit wall as the laps ticked down towards the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The team was in the unprecedented situation of having both its cars in the lead but one of them actively trying to prevent them finishing first and second. As Lewis Hamilton backed off more and more as he hoped someone would put a pass on his team mate, Mercedes’ calls for him to pick up the pace grew ever more urgent, They reached a peak when executive director for technical Paddy Lowe took over the microphone from Hamilton’s race engineer Peter Bonnington and demanded the race leader improve his pace. But the calls of the pit wall proved impotent – Hamilton simply ignored them. Meanwhile second-placed Nico Rosberg was grasping at straws as he called on Mercedes to do something about his team mate. His suggestion that Hamilton be told to let him through must rank as the year’s most optimistic radio message. But ten laps later the chequered … [Read more...] about 2016 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix team radio transcript · RaceFans
