Steven Spielberg bundled up in a cozy bomber jacket and crochet scarf as he also took the stage for the award ceremony, which will be hosted by talk show host Jimmy Kimmel at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles on March 10.

The 77-year-old film director had an envelope in his hand as he practiced presenting an award ahead of the real thing on Sunday.

Chris Hemsworth, 40, put on a casual display in a white T-shirt and a pair of sunglasses hooked at the top as he rehearsed ahead of taking the stage at the highly-anticipated event.

America Ferrera, 39, and Kate McKinnon, 40, who both looked stunning as they opted out of makeup for their read-through, were seen rehearsing on stage together around the same time Ryan Gosling prepared for his performance of I’m Just Ken.

The 43-year-old actor prepared for his performance of I’m Just Ken in a colorful graphic T-shirt, a Caterpillar Workwear trucker hat and a pair of reflective shades.

The 96th Academy Awards will air live beginning at 7 p.m. ET on Sunday.

The Oscars honors the best films of 2023 – with the glittering ceremony held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The most hotly anticipated movies of the past year – Barbie and Oppenheimer – lead the nominations.

Oppenheimer has bagged 13 nods, including best picture and best actor for Cillian Murphy – who is favorite to win the major category after scooping a BAFTA, a Golden Globe and SAG award for his role as physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer.

The impressive total – which also includes best supporting actor and actress for Robert Downey Jr. and Emily Blunt, as well as best director for Christopher Nolan – is just one nomination short of the all-time record set by Titanic in 1998.

Last year’s other smash hit movie – Barbie – was nominated for eight awards, but also fell victim to notable snubs from the Academy.

Its star Margot Robbie was not nominated for best actress, while Greta Gerwig was not nominated for best director.

Another surprise saw America Ferrera nominated for best supporting actress over her role in Barbie, with pundits saying her character’s impassioned speech on feminism had sealed the deal.

Barbie’s other nominations include best picture, best supporting actor for Ryan Gosling and two nods for best song – including Gosling’s famed ‘I’m Just Ken.’

The second most-nominated movie was Poor Things, a graphic art house movie starring Emma Stone that has wowed critics but so-far failed to set the box office alight.

Stone plays a sex-crazed young woman, with her performance wowing critics. She previously won best actress in 2017 for her performance in La La Land.

For best actor in leading role Bradley Cooper and Cillian Murphy are set to duke it out for the award. Colman Domingo, Paul Giamatti and Jeffrey Wright received nominations as well.

Leonardo DiCaprio was not recognized for his acting on Killers Of The Flower Moon.

Yorgos Lanthimos’ Poor Things took home 11 Oscar nominations and Killers of the Flower Moon landed 10.

Annette Bening, Lily Gladstone, Sandra Huller, Carey Mulligan and Emma Stone have been nominated for best actress in a leading role.

Gladstone is the first Native American nominated for best actress, for her performance in Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon – and is the favorite in the category thanks to her wins at the Golden Globes and SAG Awards,

What Was I Made For by Billie Eilish and I’m Just Ken performed by Ryan Gosling from Barbie received their expected nominations for best original song.

Sterling K. Brown, Robert De Niro, Robert Downey Jr., Ryan Gosling and Mark Ruffalo received nominations for best actor in a supporting role.

Emily Blunt, Danielle Brooks, America Ferrera, Jodie Foster and Da’Vine Joy Randolph received nominations for best actress in a supporting role.

Joy already has  Golden Globe, Bafta, Critics Choice and Screen Actors Guild awards and is favorite for an Oscar for her performance as a bereaved cook in The Holdovers.

Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon and Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer were nominated for best directing, snubbing Greta Gerwig’s Barbie.

Gerwig was nominated for best director in 2018 for her solo directorial debut, Lady Bird. Only three women have won Oscars for best director – Kathryn Bigelow, Chloe Zhao and Jane Campion.

Though Nolan is regarded as the big-budget auteur of his era, he’s never won an Academy Award, nor have any of his films won best picture.

Bradley Cooper was not nominated for directing Maestro but he was recognized for his acting in that bio movie.

American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Oppenheimer, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest landed best picture nominations.

The 96th Academy Awards will be held on March 10 at 7 pm ET/4pm PT live on ABC, hosted for a fourth time by Jimmy Kimmel.

The Princess of Wales went without her wedding rings in a new photo where she opted for a pared down look to to mark Mothers’ Day.

Kate Middleton, 42, opted for a low-key look in the snap taken by her husband Prince William showing her cuddled up to her children Prince George, 10, Princess Charlotte, eight, Prince Louis, five.

Opting for £250 Chloe Combat boots, which she’s worn several times before, Kate looked natural in jeans, a black polo neck and bottle green jacket.

Meanwhile, both Prince George and Princess Charlotte wore jumpers from French brand Cyrillus official.

Charlotte wore and adorable red Cotton and Cashmere Cardigan with a checked skirt and cotton tights while George wore a Lambswool Jumper in Kaki and jeans.

Kate went entirely without jewellery in the photo, in an unusual move for the royal.

She usually wears a her wedding ring as well as her engagement ring, which previously belonged to Princess Diana.

Featuring an oval 12-carat Ceylon sapphire surrounded by a cluster of 14 solitaire diamonds set in white gold, Princess Diana chose the ring when she was presented with a selection of options by the then Crown jewellers, Garrard of Mayfair upon her engagement to Prince Charles.

William proposed to Kate in Kenya in 2010 and described the ring saying, ‘It’s my mother’s engagement ring, and it’s very special to me, as Kate is very special to me now as well. It was only right the two were put together.

She also wears a Welsh gold wedding band.

Wearing her hair long and loose, Kate beamed as she sat with her three children at home in Windsor.

She opted for a natural make-up look with a creamy foundation and subtle lip gloss.

Sharing a post to Instagram, Kate wrote: ‘Thank you for your kind wishes and continued support over the last two months.

‘Wishing everyone a Happy Mother’s Day’.

The mother-of-three has stepped back from royal duties since she was admitted to The London Clinic for ‘planned abdominal surgery’ on January 16.

The princess’ absence from royal engagements since the Christmas Day church service at Sandringham has led to huge speculation on social media – but the positive Mother’s Day update has been warmly welcomed by royal fans.

Buckingham Palace also shared a photo of the King with his late mother Queen Elizabeth II to mark Mother’s Day. Charles is seen kissing his mother’s hand after a polo match in 1985.

‘Wishing all Mothers, and those who are missing their Mums today, a peaceful Mothering Sunday,’ a message alongside the photo said.

Kensington Palace confirmed Kate’s surgery was successful and on January 29, she returned to Adelaide Cottage in Windsor to be reunited with her children almost two weeks after having the surgery.

Last Monday, she was photographed for the first time since the medical procedure after US gossip website TMZ published pictures of her being driven around Windsor with her mother, Carole Middleton.

In the photo, Kate was wearing dark sunglasses and sat in the passenger seat of a black 4×4 Audi.

The pictures were not published in the UK after Kensington Palace appealed for her to be able to recuperate in private.

Days later, Carole’s brother – and Kate’s uncle – Gary Goldsmith revealed on Celebrity Big Brother that her niece was getting the ‘best care in the world’.

Love Island winner Ekin-Su Culculoglu asked Goldsmith on Wednesday’s episode: ‘Where’s Kate?’

He replied: ‘Because she doesn’t want to talk about… The last thing I’m going to do is… there’s a kind of code of etiquette. If it’s announced, I’ll give you an opinion.’

Kate’s ‘black sheep’ uncle added: ‘I spoke to her mum, my sister, she’s getting the best care in the world.

‘And all the family’s done is put the wagons round and look after family first before anything else. They put a statement out and just said ‘she’s taking some time to recoup and will see you in Easter’.’

After Kate was photographed in paparazzi pictured on Monday, the Ministry of Defence was then forced to delete a claim on its website that the Princess of Wales would be attending the Trooping the Colour.

Tickets had gone on sale via the army website advertising Kate reviewing a ‘practice’ parade for the first time on June 8 in her role as honorary colonel of the Irish Guards.

It also announced that King Charles, 75, would be reviewing his own official birthday parade on June 15 at Horse Guards.

But within minutes of the tickets going on sale, there were warnings that the MoD may have ‘jumped the gun’.

Kensington Palace sources made clear that they were ‘not consulted’ on the MoD announcement and said that any confirmed attendance by the princess would be made ‘only’ by themselves.

Buckingham Palace confirmed that planning for future engagements was continuing despite the King’s ongoing cancer treatment yet stressed that changes could be made nearer the time depending on his health.

He is undertaking a very limited number of in-person engagements and certainly not anything with large crowds, on doctors’ advice.

The confusion has added to the sense of unease around the Royal Family, given that two of its most senior members are largely out of action for substantial periods.

Insiders have said, given the profile of the occasions, that it is likely that both the monarch and his daughter-in-law would do everything within their power to attend.

On Friday, the Prince of Wales visited the Oval cricket ground as he continues to carry out engagements while his wife and his father recover.

But his absence from his godfather’s memorial at Windsor Castle last month for a ‘personal matter’  led to increased speculation about his wife’s health.

The Palace has said that based on the current medical advice Kate was unlikely to return to public duties until after Easter.

A spokesman stated that it was Kate’s personal wish to keep her personal medical information private and said it would only provide an update if there were ‘significant new information to share’.

William has been juggling royal duties with supporting Kate and helping care for George, Charlotte, and Louis.

Queen Camilla has led the royals at other events amid a slimmed-down monarchy – with Princess Anne, Prince Edward and Sophie also helping out.

Tomorrow, William will attend an event at immersive art venue Frameless in the Marble Arch area of London’s West End, celebrating The Earthshot Prize ‘Launchpad’ project.

This is a new online matchmaking platform for Earthshot projects which can be accessed by investors and philanthropists looking to co-invest and collaborate on environmental ideas.

Kensington Palace said that since 2021, the Earthshot Prize has awarded £15million of prize money and the network has helped unlock £50million of support via its network, for the 45 winners and finalists.

Also on Monday, Camilla and William are to attend the annual Commonwealth Day service, joined by remaining members of the slimmed-down monarchy.

With the King and Kate away from public-facing duties, the rest of the institution’s working royals will gather in force at Westminster Abbey.

Camilla and William will be accompanied by Edward, Sophie and Anne along with the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester and the Duke of Kent.

A pre-recorded video message from Head of the Commonwealth, Charles, who is undergoing treatment for cancer, will be played during the service this year, Buckingham Palace said.

The annual celebration will draw on the theme of resilience – at a time when the royal family has faced a barrage of health troubles.

But the service will focus on stories of environmental resilience and marine sustainability, through performances representing the five regions of the Commonwealth.

William’s appearance at the televised event – a key part of the royal calendar – alongside Camilla comes after he pulled out of attending his godfather King Constantine of Greece’s memorial service last week at the last minute due to an undisclosed personal matter.

A couple are asking for a refund after they sat next to a ‘snorting, farting’ dog on their flight home to New Zealand from Europe.

Gill and Warren Press were on the first leg of their journey home as they flew 13 hours from Paris to Singapore on a Singapore Airlines flight.

However, the Wellington couple were forced to sit next to a passenger with an emotional support dog in their premium economy seats.

Mrs Press said the dog regularly farted and dribbled on her husband’s leg who was wearing shorts.

‘I heard this noise – a heavy snorting. I thought it was my husband’s phone, but we looked down and realised it was the dog breathing,’ Mrs Press told Stuff.

After requesting to move seats, the couple were informed the only available seats were at the back of economy so they decided to stay where they were.

They then endured an unbearable smell on the flight as the animal took up Mr Press’s legroom and farted.

As the dog could not be put in the aisle, Mrs Press said the dog was practically laying underneath her husband’s legs.

After filing a claim for compensation to the airline, they were offered a travel voucher of NZ$200 (£95) per passenger.

However, Mrs Press is arguing this is unacceptable and she now wants a full refund.

A Singapore Airlines spokesperson said the carrier was directly in contact with the couple.

‘Singapore Airlines endeavours to notify customers who may be seated next to an assistance dog prior to boarding the flight,’ they said.

‘We sincerely apologise that this did not occur in this case, and will work with our airport teams to ensure that this lapse does not occur in future.

‘In circumstances where customers seated next to an assistance dog request to be moved, Singapore Airlines will assist to re-seat customers within the same cabin where space permits.’

A man, who bought a plot of land over two decades ago, is suing a company after he found out a house was being built on it without his consent.

In 1991, Dr. Daniel Kenigsberg of Connecticut purchased the half-acre parcel at 51 Sky Top Terrace.

It was near to the location of the house he grew up in, which his father had purchased for $5,000 ($3,911) in 1953, just outside of New Haven.

However, when he learned from a close friend that construction had started on the property, what had initially seemed to be a fairly innocent acquisition turned into a complete nightmare.

He described the exchange to CT Insider, saying: “I said, ‘I own that and I never sold it’. I was shocked.”

Dr. Kenigsberg was intrigued by what was happening and decided to stop over and have a look on his way to Long Island. And when he got there, he saw that a huge $1.4 million (just over £1m) home was being built on his land.

Official documents show that in October 2022, 51 Sky Top Partners LLC purchased the site for $350,000 (£270,000). However, Dr. Kenigsberg claims he was unaware of and had no involvement with the fraudulent sale.

A “Daniel Kenigsberg” from Johannesburg, South Africa, is accused in the complaint of forging a power of attorney in order to steal real estate. Anthony Monelli of Trumbull, Connecticut is said to have given the power of attorney.

Since then, 51 Sky Top Partners’ Gina Leto and Greg Bugaj have admitted that they too were the victims of a fraud.

So in response to the shocking move, he is now suing the company in question, with nine different charges, including trespass, statutory theft, and unfair business practises.

Dr. Kenigsberg is requesting damages in the amount of $2 million and is suing to have the land deal declared null and invalid.

The business in issue must also remove “any structures and/or materials from the Property and restore the Property to the condition that it was in prior to Defendants’ trespass upon it,” according to his demands.

Dr Kenigsberg later opened up about the case, saying: “I’m angry that so many people were so negligent that this could have happened.

“It’s more than obnoxious — it’s offensive and wrong.”

51 Sky Top Partners said in a statement: “We learned to our shock and dismay that Kenigsberg, had not, in fact, sold the property to us.

“Rather, a third-party had impersonated Kenigsberg and — through the carelessness and neglect of the various real estate professionals involved in the transaction — managed to list, market, and sell the property without anyone ever catching on.”

One of the most beloved actors and comedians in Hollywood had humble beginnings and lived a much different life to the one he currently does. Still, one woman has been a constant in his world and their story spanned years.

Madonna scolded the audience at her Los Angeles concert for not standing up before realizing the fan was in a wheelchair.

The 65-year-old singer sparked controversy when she singled out a person in the audience during a stop on her Celebration tour at the Kia Forum on Thursday.

‘What are you doing sitting down over there? What are you getting sitting down?’ she asked as she paused the concert.

As she walked to the edge of the stage and approached the crowd, Madonna then realized that the fan was seated in a wheelchair.

‘Oh, OK. Politically incorrect. Sorry about that,’ she said. ‘I’m glad you are here.’

The toe-curling moment was captured and shared millions of times across various social media platforms, with users criticizing the celebrity for her comments.

In the viral video, Madonna urged fans to ‘take this ride’ with her as she was about to introduce the next song before calling out the wheelchair user.

Madonna then quickly apologized and walked back to the center of the stage to resume her performance.

Social media users have since criticized her, saying her question was ‘insulting’ and it’s none of her business if someone chooses to sit down during the show.

One user Reddit wrote, ‘Even if that person wasn’t in a wheelchair, maybe just having bad knees or whatever, how tf is that anybody’s business?’

Another person chimed in, saying, ‘Girl, bye. People are paying good money to see you, don’t disrespect them like that.’

‘At her age, she should have known better than to do this. They probably paid good money for their seats too. So rude,’ a person wrote.

Concertgoers have shared their accounts of sustaining injuries prior to attending a concert.

One TikTok user wrote, ‘I was injured just before a concert last year and the guitarist kept gesturing to me, making faces, and flipped me off for sitting. Singer also complained… I had wanted to see him for years.’

Another user said, I went to a concert a couple of months after going through surgery and chemo and couldn’t stand the whole time. I would’ve been mortified to be called out like this.’
