These Oscars Will Be The Most Historic Yet

It’s the best season of the year! Red carpet season! The Oscars are rolling in with a bang this year as it's already making history before it has even started. If you haven’t been keeping up with all this exciting news I will fill you in. Let’s start with Mudbound. The film is the streaming platform’s first non-documentary to earn a citation from the Academy. But it doesn’t stop there. Rachel Morrison picked up a nod for best cinematography, becoming the first woman in Oscar history to get a nomination in that category. Pretty wild and only took the academy 90 years to finally get it right. Congrats Rachel!

To add onto the success of Mudbound we have director, Dee Rees, nominated for best adapted screenplay, making Rees the first black woman to pick up a nod in this category.Continuing on with some girl power we have Meryl Streep up for her 21st nomination (best actress for The Post) which has just made her the most nominated performer of all time. Can’t argue with the statistics, there is truly no one better than her.

Aside from the actress, directors, and cinematographers, we have a presenter who is making history this Oscar season. Daniela Vega is the first openly transgender woman to ever present at the Oscars. This whole Oscar season has been about breaking stereotypes and boundaries.

Films have brought us more together than ever before. It is more than just people on your screen reciting lines. We are taking real life issues and bringing them into the light. These Oscars have been the most historic yet and we haven’t even got to the actual show yet.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
