WHAT HAPPENED AT THE OSCARS

OSCAR AWARDS
  The 2017 Oscars were no wonder one of a kind. It saw so many new records being made, had notable firsts and was full of surprises. Hosted by comedian Jimmy Kimmel for the very first time, the 89th Academy Awards took place on February 26, 2017 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California, United States. This year La La Land received the maximum nominations with a record-tying fourteen [ All About Eve(1950) and Titanic(1997) ] followed by Arrival and Moonlight with eight nominations each.


  Following is the list of all the awards that were given out during this star-studded ceremony :

1.      Best Picture- Moonlight
2.      Best Director- Damien Chazelle (La La Land)
3.      Best Actor- Cassey Affleck (Manchester by the Sea)
4.      Best Actress- Emma Stone (La La Land)
5.      Best Supporting Actor- Mahershala Ali (Moonlight)
6.      Best Supporting Actress- Viola Davis (Fences)
7.      Best Original Screenplay- Kenneth Lonergan (for Manchester by the Sea)
8.      Best Adapted Screenplay- Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin (for Moonlight)
9.      Best Animated Feature Film- Zootopia

23.  Best Film Editing- John Gilbert (Hacksaw Ridge)
24.  Best Visual Effects- Robert Legato, Adam Valdez, Andrew R. Jones, and Dan Lemmon (The Jungle Book)

  The makers of La La Land had to face immense disappointment after losing the Best Picture Award to Moonlight after the movie was  mistakenly announced the winner. La La Land’s failure to win the Best Picture made it the first film in history to earn 14 nominations but loseBest Picture. Both of the previous two films with 14 nominations, All About Eve (1950) and Titanic (1997), ultimately took home the big prize. However, La La Land made Damien Chazelle (32 years) the youngest person ever to win the best director.
 What made this ceremony even more special was that it was the first time when Oscars saw more than three black winners- Moonlight’s Mahershala Ali for Best Supporting Actor, Fences’ Viola Davis for Best Supporting Actress, O.J.: Made in America director-producer Ezra Edelman for Best Documentary Feature, and Moonlight’s Barry Jenkins and Tarell Alvin McCraney for Best Adapted Screenplay. Cherry on the cake is the fact that Mahershala Ali is the first muslim actor to ever win an Oscar.
After 21 nominations, sound editor Kevin O’Connell finally won his first Oscar for his work on Hacksaw Ridge.

  La La Land won the maximum awards while Moonlight won three. The ceremony sure had many delightful moments but it ended up on an unprecedented note with its historic mix-up, the craziest moment in the Oscar history, and one that won’t be forgotten soon.

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT

SHARARAT: THODA JAADU, THODI NAZAAKAT Shring Bring Sarvaling ,BhootBhavishyaVartamaanBadling! One can’t resist being driven away by the sense of nostalgia while being stumbled upon this mantra!  It was unarguably the era of entertainment .While a decade has passed on, Shararat, the fantasy sitcom spanning over 5 installments, definitely gives away every 90s’ kid a chance to brag about those good old days. Shararat revolves around the world of fairies and magic. What added to the delight in the mind of its viewers was the subtle comedy and the perfect comic timing. The Malhotra family involving a mischievous ‘nani’ with her impeccable magic chants, a docile mummy who has settled down with the menial jobs she has to perform as a typical housewife , and a naïve and vulnerable Jiya ,whose life has become miserable since the day she is wielded with magic powers, certainly Shararat was a visual treat. But the story had not been far  more convincing without the starry l...

SON PARI

Son pari Mumkin ko namumkin kar de Namumkin ko mumkin Son pari sab hal karti hain Sabki mushkil sab din. Whenever I used to hear this song I used to rush towards my television, because this was my favourite show - "SON PARI" Son Pari was basically a fantasy- adventure TV series. It is based on the story of a little girl name Fruity, who receives a magical gem that, when rubbed, summons a fairy named Son Pari and her friend Altu. Son Pari and Altu start meeting Fruity regularly and have many adventures. They help her get rid of Ruby, a woman who wants to marry Fruity's father, Rohit, for his money.

A Pari ( angle) who can solve their problems with a spin of her wand. And this TV show was so famous and loved by everyone  because it used to take us to that fantasy world of angels and magic.

INDIAN MAKEUP TRENDS OVER THE YEARS

From Saira Banu in Padosan, Sridevi in Chandini, Karishma Kapoor in Dil Toh Pagal Hai to our all time favourite Poo in Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gum and Mili in Khoobsurat, the fashion and makeup trends have been all fancy and crazy yet so aesthetic and elegant and these leading ladies are surely 'Goals'.  One of the most significant shifts that  have been observed over the years in the beauty industry is the ultimate evolution of make-up trends varying from vibrant and vivid looks to nude face concepts. Makeup can not be talked about separately when it comes to beauty and fashion,it is an expressive(and perceived to be expensive by men) art, which has evolved immensely over the past century and has vividly been an integral part of our culture. But what have been the major stages of this evolution?
