With the #Oscars only about a week away, here are the top nominees that @AP's film writers predict will reign supreme at the 94th Academy Awards. apnews.com/article/2022-o…
Film writer @ldbahr predicts Jane Campion's Western gothic "The Power of the Dog" will take the Best Picture award.

"It is paradoxically both a safe choice and a game changer in that it would be a first best picture win for Netflix after years of trying." apnews.com/article/film-r…
@jakecoyleAP agrees that "The Power of the Dog" is the likely choice, but he's calling a "CODA" Best Picture upset. Coyle writes that the film — about a deaf family with one hearing daughter — has a stronger chance after winning at the Screen Actors Guild. apnews.com/article/entert…
For the Best Actor category, @ldbahr and @jakecoyleAP agree it would be a major surprise if Will Smith didn’t get his first Oscar win for “King Richard," the story of the father of Venus Williams and Serena Williams.

"This time, it’s Smith’s turn." apnews.com/article/film-r…
For Best Actress — one of the year's most contentious categories — @jakecoyleAP writes that he wouldn't be surprised if the award went to Jessica Chastain, a three-time nominee but never a winner, for her role as televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker.

Although Jessica Chastain is the likely winner for Best Actress, @ldbahr writes that she thinks Kristen Stewart still has a shot for her performance as Princess Diana in Pablo Larraín’s “Spencer.” apnews.com/article/britne…
Both @ldbahr and @jakecoyleAP also agree that Ariana DeBose will be taking home this year's Best Supporting Actress award for her performance in Steven Spielberg’s revival of "West Side Story."

"DeBose should definitely be ready with a killer speech." apnews.com/article/film-r…
In an Academy Awards season almost completely dominated by streaming services, here's how (and where) to watch the 2022 #Oscar nominees online. apnews.com/article/How-to…

Russia’s war in Ukraine has entered its fourth week. Russian forces are largely bogged down outside major cities and shelling them from a distance, raining havoc on civilians.

Here are five @AP stories with what to know from today. apnews.com/article/russia…
Rescue workers are searching for survivors in the ruins of a Mariupol theater blown apart by a Russian airstrike.

“We hope and we think that some people who stayed in the shelter under the theater could survive,” said an official with the mayor’s office. apnews.com/article/russia…
Aid agencies continue to ramp up their efforts to bring much-needed relief supplies to civilians affected by the fighting, and also to over 3.2 million refugees who have fled the country since the conflict began. apnews.com/article/russia…

Since Russia’s war began in Ukraine, Mariupol has become encircled by Russian soldiers who are slowly squeezing the life out of it — one blast at a time.

For the estimated hundreds of thousands that remain, there is simply nowhere to go. apne.ws/K3ijf0r Ukrainian emergency employees work at a maternity hospital d
The surrounding roads are mined, and the port blocked. Food is running out, and the Russians have stopped humanitarian attempts to bring it in.

Electricity is mostly gone and water is sparse, with residents melting snow to drink. apnews.com/article/russia…
Death is everywhere.

Local officials have tallied more than 2,500 deaths in the siege, but many bodies can’t be counted because of the endless shelling. They have told families to leave their dead outside in the streets because it’s too dangerous to hold funerals. Quote from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in a vide

More than 12.7 million children in the U.S. have tested positive for COVID-19 since the pandemic began. Generally, the coronavirus doesn’t hit kids as severely as adults. But there are still worrisome outcomes for some. apnews.com/article/covid1…
Some youngsters suffer unexplained symptoms long after the virus is gone — what’s often called long COVID.

Others get reinfected. Some seem to recover fine, only to be struck later by a mysterious condition that causes severe organ inflammation. apnews.com/article/covid1…
Doctors at Children’s National and multiple other hospitals are studying the long-term effects of COVID-19 on children to evaluate the impact on children’s overall health and development, both physically and mentally. apnews.com/article/covid1…
