https://dailyworld.in/entertainment/oscars-changes-its-rules-actors-to-get-multiple-nominations-in-same-category-671918.html Los Angeles May 2 The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is setting up a new framework for the subsequent editions of the Awards ceremonies The Academy has approved a substantive slate of new and updated rules for the 99th Oscars set for 2027 showing its evolving standards around eligibility authorship and global inclusion reports âVarietyâHeadlining the updates is a notable shift in the acting categories Performers may now receive multiple nominations in the same category if their performances rank among the top five votegetters a move that finally aligns the acting races with the rest of the ballot The change has the potential to neutralize some of the presumed âcategory fraudâ at least for actors with two performances in play in the same year in which a campaign team strategically pushes one turn into supporting to dodge a vote splitAs per âVarietyâ one of the most notable examples was Kate Winsletâs 2008 run when she campaigned in lead for âRevolutionary Roadâ and supporting for âThe Readerâ winning Golden Globes in both By the time Oscar nominations were announced âThe Readerâ had been elevated to lead and âRevolutionary Roadâ was shut out She would eventually win Best ActressUnder the previous rules in place until now if a performer landed in the top five with two performances in the same category the highervotegetter would be declared the nominee and the other would be removed Thereâs a fair assumption that both of Winsletâs performances were in the top five of her given yearThe acting rule mechanism dates to the earliest days of the Academy Awards The last notable acting rule change came at the 17th Academy Awards in 1945 when Barry Fitzgerald became the only performer in Oscar history to receive nominations for both lead and supporting actor for the same role Father Fitzgibbon in âGoing My Wayâ The Academy soon after limited each performance to a single nomination IANS

registered against actor Shekhar Suman and Bharati Singh The FIR pertains to a case from 2010 which involved uttering the words âYa Allah Rasgulla Dahi Bhallaâ on a comedy show The court said that mere use of food items in a comic act cannot amount to insult to religion The FIR was registered with Section 34 of the IPC based on a complaint filed by a representative of the Raza AcademyThe complaint pertained to an episode of the show âComedy Circus Ka Jadooâ aired in November 2010 Justice Amit Borkar allowed the petitions filed by Shekhar Suman and Bharati Singh seeking quashing of the FIRs against them noting that the programme was a âlight entertainmentâ show and must be viewed in its proper contextThe bench observed that an offence under Section 295A requires a âdeliberate and malicious intentâ to insult religious feelingsThe court said âA comedy show is not judged by the same standards as a doctrinal speech or a political statement A performance of this nature is to be read as a whole and not by selecting stray expressions Both elements are necessary If one of them is absent the offence will not be fully made outâThe court said âThe complaint in question was made by a person who prima facie does not appear to have personally viewed the programme but acted on the basis of representations allegedly received by the Raza Academy from certain persons It is contended that the FIR bearing CR No 265 of 2010 came to be registered without any preliminary verification of the correctness of the allegationsâ IANS

singles which I have composed And I have done it along with my brother Younger brother But I would say that there is a composer in a singerâShe said that it cant be two different pathways as when a singer is given a song not all composers ask them to follow it completelyShe told IANS âYou also think âWhat can I add to the songâ When you are on the mic you are constantly being creative Adding to the color of the song To enhance it in some way Or adding your soul to it And in that process You end up adding some compositions and some ideas And it is a very fluid processâShe cited lack of time as the reason behind not fully stepping into music composing as she shared âIf you are doing independent music it gives you a much more free hand to do that For films sometimes it is very rigid But I save myself a lot from that temptation because there is a lack of time laughs I want to do it But somehow I have to choose And I feel maybe I am not that great as a composerââThe people who I really look up to like I idolize Lata Ji as a singer Asha Ji as a singer Like that I have a lot of respect for the composers So with such people If you compare yourself you will feel theyâre so far above in

yearâs Academy Awards were held there Then the Fox Theatre in Detroit where Lata Ji was the first Indian artist to perform there And its so historical I mean very beautifully made theatre very old So

release of his upcoming film âMain Vapas Aaungaâ has shared his opinion on the choice of falling in love The director spoke with IANS during the promotions of âMain Vapas Aaungaâ and discussed the idea of falling in love when there is no guarantee of how a romantic pursuit will turn out to beWhen asked if surrendering to love opinion knowing very well that it has an equal probability of going either ways 50 probability of going right or going wrong is it a sign of weakness or is it a sign of strength he said âThere are other ways to process this decision Its not only a sign of weakness or strengthâHe told IANS âSometimes youre so weak that you listen to your natural instinct Sometimes youre so weak that you just have to follow your heart you have no control âIs that a weakness or a strengthâ one might ask Its a sign of connecting with yourself of turning in the direction of your heart I feel that it is a decision of loveâHe said choosing love is the best chance at love despite the 50 probability as he shared âAnd I know that there is a its not 100 probability of success but its our best chance because if you go if you turn away from it then there is very little probability of success There is no chance of success when you yourself are not with you I think a decision to go towards love connects a person to himself or herselfââAnd the power that emanates is more A person who is passionate can work for 24 hours a day for instance So I feel that just in terms of probability one is safer to go in the direction of loveâ he addedProduced by Sameer Nair and Deepak Segal of

feel possessive about you and they box you like you belong to this industry only That is surely out of love But otherwise yes sometimes sometimes notââThe only thing that an actor can do is really is
