In an unexpected turn of events, the Golden Globes race has been shaken up by two unlikely contenders: Barbie and J. Robert Oppenheimer.

As Hollywood gears up for its most prestigious awards night, these unconventional entrants have captured the industry’s attention and are giving the frontrunners a run for their money.

In a year marked by a diverse range of films, Barbie has emerged as a symbol of empowerment, with her latest cinematic venture challenging conventional norms and redefining the role of female protagonists in the industry. Critics are raving about her unexpected depth and social relevance, making her a formidable Golden Globes contender.

On the other hand, J. Robert Oppenheimer’s biopic has ignited a renewed interest in history and science on the silver screen.

Will Barbie’s message of empowerment and Oppenheimer’s complex story resonate with Academy voters?

As the Golden Globes race heats up, it’s clear that these unexpected contenders have disrupted the status quo, challenging Hollywood’s traditional narratives and pushing the boundaries of cinematic storytelling.

Whether Barbie and Oppenheimer will walk away with the golden statuettes remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: they have already left an indelible mark on this year’s awards season.

Morgan McSweeney resigned amid scrutiny of Peter Mandelson’s US ambassadorship; Keir Starmer claims he was misled about Epstein ties.

U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, Morgan McSweeney, has resigned amid scrutiny over Peter Mandelson’s appointment as U.K. ambassador to the U.S. McSweeney accepted responsibility for the controversial decision, calling stepping aside the honourable choice.

Lawmakers raised questions about Mandelson’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein. The Epstein files indicate Mandelson maintained contact with Epstein even after his 2008 conviction, intensifying the controversy surrounding his diplomatic appointment.

Starmer confirmed that Mandelson misled him about the extent of their friendship and pledged to release documents confirming the details. The resignation signals a significant shake-up in Starmer’s team and ongoing political fallout.

Japan’s ruling party expected to strengthen majority in Lower House election despite heavy snowfall, says local forecasts.

Japan’s ruling Liberal Democratic Party is projected to tighten its grip on power following a decisive Lower House election, according to local media forecasts. Early projections suggest the LDP will secure between 274 and 328 seats in the 465-seat chamber, significantly strengthening its parliamentary position.

Together with coalition partner the Japan Innovation Party, the governing bloc is expected to cross the 300-seat mark, with some estimates putting the total as high as 366 seats. Voter turnout remained resilient despite heavy snow across parts of the country, as citizens braved severe weather to cast their ballots.

The election was called by Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi in January, a move widely viewed as a strategic gamble to capitalise on her strong public approval ratings. The result appears to reinforce her mandate and consolidate political stability in Japan’s national leadership.
