Jennifer Lawrence climbs over chairs at Oscars

Actress Jennifer Lawrence was seen hitching up her sequinned dress to climb over rows of chairs to get to her seat at the 90th Academy Awards here — and that too with a wine glass in hand.

Lawrence, 27, dazzled in a platinum sequin Dior gown and strappy heels. She did not fall.

She hiked up her dress and raised a leg over a chair at the Dolby Theatre, holding her floor-length gown in one hand and a full wine glass in another, reports foxnews.com.

The RED SPARROW star had famously slipped on stage at the 2013 Oscars as she made her way up the stairs to accept her award for Best Actress in SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK.

In the following year, she tripped on the red carpet.

At this year's Oscars, Lawrence and Jodie Foster presented the trophy for Best Actress in a Leading Role to Frances McDormand for THREE BILLBOARDS OUTSIDE EBBING, MISSOURI.

Siddarth Roy Kapur speaks of entertainment business

Renowned film producer Siddarth Roy Kapur on Sunday evening shared some of the challenges affecting the growth of Indian entertainment industry in the international market.

Speaking at the 19th edition of FICCI Frames 2018, Siddarth, who is also the Co-Chair, FICCI Media and Entertainment Committee, said: "FICCI is launching an international content market which is a great initiative. We are a 1,26,000 crore industry with 0.74 lakh people and that is less than 1 per cent of GDP.

"We are the largest producers of films but the entire industry is valued less than the box office collection of AVATAR. We don't have a revenue model that is saleable and can actually make sense according to the investments made."

"It is important to see what the challenges are and what we need to do to be able to move forward. Single Window clearance is tremendous for the industry."

Ficci Frames 2018 is a three-day convention where more than 60 international companies of buyers, distributors and other business people gathered from around 30 countries.

The main event will start from Monday, March 5, and will continue until March 7, at Grand Hyatt in Mumbai.

An array of topics including film tourism, dwindling box office collections, historical and biopics — endangered species, women empowerment in the digital era, among many others will come up for discussion during the event.

The panel comprise eminent persons like filmmaker Ramesh Sippy, Alankrita Shrivastava, Shyam Benegal and Shabana Azmi, among others.

Christopher Nolan’s DUNKIRK sweeps sound honours at 90th Oscars

Acclaimed filmmaker Christopher Nolan's war drama DUNKIRK won top sound honours at the 90th Academy Awards here.

The film won the gold statue in — Best Sound Mixing and Best Sound Editing category.

Gregg Landaker, Gary A. Rizzo and Mark Weingarten picked the Best Sound Mixing honour for the film, and Alex Gibson and Richard King took the Best Sound Editing trophy.

It was a fourth win for Landaker, second for Rizzo and first for Weingarten.

They were in the race to win the Oscar with Tim Cavagin, Mary H. Ellis and Julian Slater for BABY DRIVER, Ron Bartlett, Doug Hemphill and Mac Ruth for BLADE RUNNER 2049, Christian Cooke, Glen Gauthier and Brad Zoern for THE SHAPE OF WATER and Ren Klyce, David Parker, Michael Semanick and Stuart Wilson for STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI.

"Thanks for bestowing us with the great honour. I would like to thank the whole team. I I love you," they said while accepting the award at the gala on Sunday night.

There was a special mention for Nolan as they expressed their gratitude to the filmmaker for pushing them to make interesting sound for the film.

The film, which has also been written by Nolan, brings the story of Operation Dynamo as it unfolds on land, sea and air.

The narrative of DUNKIRK follows three major threads covering different periods of time — one beginning on land and covering one week, one on the sea and covering one day, and one in the air covering one hour. These are interwoven in a non-linear narrative.

For the Best Sound Editing award, the film was in contention with BABY DRIVER (Julian Slater), BLADE RUNNER 2049 (Theo Green and Mark Mangini), THE SHAPE OF WATER (Nelson Ferreira and Nathan Robitaille) and STAR WARS: THE LAST JEDI (Ren Klyce and Matthew Wood).

Hosted by Jimmy Kimmel, the 90th Award gala was held at Dolby Theatre on Sunday night here.

LCARUS was named as the Best Documentary (Feature) at the 90th Academy Awards ceremony here, and director Bryan Fogel hopes the documentary is a wake-up call for everyone to tell the truth.

"We hope LCARUS is a wake-up call about, yes, Russia but also about telling the truth, now more than ever," said Fogel while accepting the honour by Greta Gerwig and Laura Dern.

LCARUS is about doping in Russian sports.

The film was competing with "Abacus: Small Enough to Jaila by Julie Goldman, Steve James and Mark Mitten, "Faces Placesa by Agnes Varda, JR and Rosalie Varda, "Last Men in Aleppo" by Kareem Abeed, Feras Fayyad and Soren Steen Jespersen, and "Strong Island" Joslyn Barnes and Yance Ford.

COCO wins Best Animated Feature Film at Oscars 2018

COCO was named as Best Animated Feature Film at the Oscars 2018, and co-director Lee Unkrich dedicated the honour to the people and culture of Mexico, saying "representation matters".

Disney-Pixar'sCOCO narrates the story of an aspiring musician's journey into the Land of the Dead.

"COCO is proof that art can change and connect the world, and this can only be done when we have a place where everyone and anyone who feels like another to be heard," said producer Darla K. Anderson in her acceptance speech on Sunday night.

"The biggest thank you of all (goes) to the people of Mexico," said Unkrich.

"COCO could not exist without your endlessly beautiful culture and traditions. With COCO, we tried to take a step forward toward a world where all children can grow up seeing characters in movies that look and talk and live like they do. Marginalised people deserve to feel like they belong. Representation matters."

COCO marks Unkrich's second Oscar win after his win for TOY STORY 3 in the same category.

InCOCO, aspiring musician Miguel (voice of Anthony Gonzalez) teams up with charming trickster Hector (voice of Gael Garcia Bernal) on an extraordinary journey through the Land of the Dead.

The movie, which took six years to produce in a pursuit to get the intricacies of portraying the culture on the big screen right, showcases the importance of family, honouring one's ancestors and following dreams.

The winners also thanked their same-sex partners.

The film was pitted against THE BOSS BABY, THE BREADWINNER, FERDINAND, and LOVING VINCENT.
