'Joker' leads Oscar nods with 11 as women, minorities miss out
LOS ANGELES — Dark comic book tale "Joker" topped the Oscar nominations Monday, picking up 11 nods including best picture and best director, as women and ethnic minorities were largely shut out once again.The pre-dawn Academy Award announcement capped months of ceaseless campaigning by A-listers and studios, revealing which stars and movies have a shot at Hollywood's ultimate prize next month.Todd Phillips's "Joker," a bleak, arthouse take on the comic book villain starring Joaquin Phoenix, was just ahead of three films.Quentin Tarantino's 1960s Tinseltown homage "Once Upon a Time... in Hollywood," Sam Mendes's World War I odyssey "1917" and Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" each earned 10 nominations, including best...

Meghan Markle bugs pontiff for fashion tips in 'The New Pope'
PARIS — She is at war with the Queen — now the "Pope" is turning on Meghan Markle.The Duchess of Sussex is the butt of a string of catty quips in the new television series, "The New Pope", which premieres on HBO and Sky Atlantic Monday.The timing of the show — the follow-up to "The Young Pope" — could not be worse for the American actress, whose bombshell announcement that she and Prince Harry were stepping back from frontline royal duties, has rocked the British monarchy.The cheeky smash-hit Vatican drama that saw Jude Law's dishy American pope struck down by a heart attack in the first series, has Markle bombarding his replacement with demands for fashion advice in the second."What a nuisance!" barks the fictional Pope John Paul III...

Harry, William present united front ahead of royal crisis summit
SANDRINGHAM, England — Prince Harry and his brother Prince William put on a united front as they were summoned to showdown talks on Monday on Harry's future after he and his wife Meghan unilaterally announced they were quitting as front-line British royalty.The brothers, who, at Harry's public admission, have drifted apart in recent years, lashed out at a story concerning their relationship, as newspapers speculated on what caused the Duke and Duchess of Sussex to quit their roles in search of a new life.William, 37, and 35-year-old Harry formed a close bond following their mother Diana's death in 1997 but Harry admitted last month that they had drifted apart and were now on different paths.The fraternal show of unity came as they were summoned to talks with their grandmother...

Viral Chilean dance rocks Weinstein trial
NEW YORK — A flash mob added some song and dance to Harvey Weinstein's sex crimes trial as women clad in black chanted "The rapist is you!" outside a New York courtroom on Friday.Dozens of female protesters banged percussion instruments and performed a new Chilean song that rails against sexual violence and has recently gone viral around the world.As jury selection continued inside the Manhattan court, the sound of the performers, some of whom wore bandanas, shouting and dancing on the sidewalk outside filtered through the courtroom's windows.About 60 women performed the choreographed dance and recited the lyrics of feminist anthem "A Rapist In Your Path," which first shot to prominence in Chile in November.It was created by a collective called "Las...

Vintage Mustang from movie 'Bullitt' auctioned for $3.7m
MIAMI, Florida —The 1968 Ford Mustang GT that Steve McQueen drove in the movie "Bullitt" sold Friday for $3.7 million, the auction house said.The late actor drove the car in several scenes of the film including an iconic, harrowing 10-minute chase through the streets of San Francisco.The whereabouts of the dark green roadster were unknown for decades but it resurfaced, in good condition and driveable, for the 50th anniversary of the movie in 2018.The car had been in the hands of one Sean Kiernan, age 38, whose father had bought it in 1974 for $3,500. The family drove it daily until 1980, when the clutch broke.It remained parked in a garage until Kiernan restored it and began exhibiting it after the death of his father in 2014.David Morton, a spokesman for Mecum Auctions, said...

As young India protests, young Bollywood finds its voice
MUMBAI, India — Fearing a backlash from fans, politicians and religious zealots, Bollywood stars have in the past usually steered clear of India's fiery politics. But the country's top actress may have changed that.Signaling a possible generational shift, Deepika Padukone waded into a sea of student protesters in Delhi on Tuesday night, evoking loud cheers from the surprised crowd.Few had any inkling that Padukone would attend the demonstration at a prestigious university where the left-leaning student body has long been in the cross-hairs of India's ruling party.Her appearance sparked a social media war between those wanting her new film boycotted — suggesting her only motive was publicity for the movie which released on Friday — and others applauding her courage.Either...

Harvey Weinstein sex crimes trial opens in New York
NEW YORK — Harvey Weinstein's high-profile sex crimes trial opened Monday, kicking off proceedings key to the #MeToo movement that could see the once-mighty Hollywood producer jailed for life if convicted on charges of predatory sexual assault.The disgraced movie mogul entered the New York state courthouse looking frail in a dark suit and using a walker, more than two years after a slew of allegations against him triggered waves of outrage over pervasive sexual assault in the workplace, leading to the downfall of dozens of powerful men.Demonstrators anchored by actresses Rose McGowan and Rosanna Arquette — two of Weinstein's most prominent accusers — gathered outside the Manhattan court wielding signs with slogans like "Justice for survivors.""Time's up on...

'Succession,' 'Fleabag' top TV winners at Golden Globes
LOS ANGELES — The television awards at the Golden Globes are often somewhat overlooked — after all, the industry handed out the Emmys just a few months ago.But at Sunday's boozy Globes gala, the winners in the small screen categories — including the stars behind breakout British comedy "Fleabag" and the darkly humorous drama "Succession" — got some laughs and got political.Phoebe Waller-Bridge accepted the trophy for best musical or comedy series for "Fleabag" — which follows the antics, sex life and tribulations of a dry-witted 30-something woman in London — with a line of thanks for none other than Barack Obama for putting the show on his Best Of 2019 list."Personally, I would like to also thank Obama for putting us on his list — as...

PADANG, Indonesia — Indonesian conservationists say they've spotted the biggest specimen ever of what's already been billed as one of the world's largest flowers.The giant Rafflesia tuan-mudae — a fleshy red flower with white blister-like spots on its enormous petals — came in at a whopping 111 centimeters (3.6 foot) in diameter.That's bigger than the previous record of 107 centimeters on a bloom also found in the jungles of West Sumatra several years ago."This is the largest Rafflesia tuan-mudae that has ever been documented," said Ade Putra at the Agam Conservation Agency in Sumatra.The flower's bloom will only last about one week before it will wither and rot, he added.It was named Rafflesia after British colonialist Sir Stamford Raffles who spotted...
