Winners of the 95th Academy Awards

Hello, it's me again. You're probably wondering why I didn't write any new reviews. Mostly, it's because I was too busy improving my recent and old critiques, obituaries and more. Now, here are the winners of the 95th Academy Awards.

As I predicted, Avatar: The Way of Water won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects, though none of my other predictions came true. Many predicted that Brendan Fraser would win the Best Actor Oscar for his heartbreaking portrayal in The Whale. They were right all along.

Earlier in the Oscar nominations news update, I should have mentioned that Top Gun: Maverick is an odd choice for the Best Picture category. It was a mistake that I realised it wasn't supposed to win the Best Picture Oscar, but I was relieved it didn't.

In Memory of Chaim Topol (1935-2023)

Chaim Topol (1935-2023)

The actor Chaim Topol has died in Israel after a long illness. He was 87 years old. The actor was famous for portraying Tevye in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof". There is not much profile of the actor, but I decided to make this obituary as short and sweet as possible.

Throughout his career, Topol was known by his surname. His acting career began after being assigned to the entertainment troop while serving in the Israeli army. The actor first came to international attention with his breakthrough role in the 1964 movie, "Sallah Shabati". He has attributed his role in the London production of "Fiddler on the Roof" to his work on "Sallah Shabati", although he also played Tevye in Israel. He would later continue the role in the 1971 screen adaptation, which earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. His other memorable portrayals include Dr. Hans Zarkov in "Flash Gordon" and James Bond's ally Columbo in "For Your Eyes Only".

Stay tuned for this year's Oscars ceremony to announce the winners, which will be tomorrow.
