That meant that the NBR Awards, put on by a long-running group of film enthusiasts, was a chance to stoke buzz and polish acceptance speeches. The National Board of Review makes it easier, too, by announcing winners in advance and pairing each with a lavish introduction from a collaborator or friend. Spielberg, who won best director for his movie-memoir “The Fabelmans,” was introduced by “West Side Story” star Ariana DeBose.
Gabriel LaBelle, who plays a fictionalized version of young Spielberg in “The Fabelmans” and was honored for breakthrough performance along with Danielle Deadwyler of “Till," similarly described the life-changing nature of a call from Spielberg. Meanwhile, the awards hopes for a pair of theatrical successes — “Top Gun: Maverick” and “Everything Everywhere All at Once” — have risen. “Top Gun” star Tom Cruise didn't attend Sunday, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer applauded him while accepting for best film.
"One day Hollywood did come calling. It was an absolute dream come true. We all wanted to go to Hollywood — until I got there," Yeoh said. “Suddenly, I was a minority. I mean, how did that happen? There are more of me than you! I was typecast. I didn't see faces like mine on the screen. I met with people who didn't know where Korea and China and Japan were."

Toronto Police Services Board to review proposed $48-million funding increaseThe Toronto Police Services Board is set to meet today to decide whether to approve a nearly $50-million funding increase for the city's police force, which would result in the addition of 200 officers. 'We can remove a bunch of homeless encampments with this money boys, but is it enough?' Toronto needs to raise taxes. This is crazy! We keep pulling funding away from social programs which in leads to more instability in the community which leads to more police action! This is like eating food that makes you puke so you buy a bigger toilet to puke into instead of adjusting the eating habit! 🙄

LOST AND FOUND: Man sought after gun left behind in Toronto establishmentAn unidentified man is sought for allegedly leaving a gun behind after visiting an establishment in Greektown on New Year’s Day. Was it a legally owned gun & the police just want to return it to its registered, law abiding owner? 🥴 Now that anti-racism activists have labeled everything the police do as racist, black men can casually carry guns without worry of being hassled. So worry free that they forget where they put it down before leaving establishments. Fingerprints?
