Les Emmy Ewards débutent, duel attendu entre…

Les Emmy Awards ont débuté lundi avec leur première cérémonie physique tenue dans un théâtre depuis la pandémie, une soirée qui doit voir s’affronter la série coréenne “Squid Game” et le mastodonte de HBO “Succession” pour le prix de la meilleure série dramatique.

Le présentateur Kenan Thompson a lancé les festivités avec une série de danses sur plusieurs génériques de séries au succès planétaire, comme “Friends” ou “Game of Thrones”. “La télévision, c’est tout ce que nous avons”, a-t-il résumé.

Le phénomène coréen “Squid Game” a une chance d’entrer dans l’histoire de cette compétition, équivalente des Oscars de la télévision américaine. Sombre et violente dénonciation des dérives du capitalisme, dans laquelle des miséreux s’entretuent lors de jeux d’enfants cruels avec l’espoir de remporter des millions, la sanglante oeuvre de Netflix pourrait devenir la première production en langue non-anglaise à rafler la récompense majeure.

Un succès qui s’inscrirait dans les pas du film coréen “Parasite”, qui avait remporté l’Oscar du meilleur film en 2020.

– Succession, un adversaire de poids –

Mais, pour l’emporter à Los Angeles, la série devra devancer un sérieux adversaire: “Succession”, production déjà récompensée il y a deux ans pour sa chronique d’une puissante famille dont les membres complotent et s’entre-déchirent.

Cette série aux accents shakespeariens semble mener la danse avec 25 nominations, et reste la favorite, selon les experts interrogés par le site spécialisé Gold Derby.

Le chroniqueur cinéma de Deadline Pete Hammond mise toutefois sur un prix de meilleur acteur pour Lee Jung-jae, l’acteur principal de “Squid Game”. De quoi faire du Sud-Coréen le premier gagnant de ce prix pour une performance dans une autre langue que l’anglais.

Le drame coréen a d’ailleurs déjà remporté quatre récompenses dans des catégories mineures, remises début septembre lors des Creative Emmys, dont le prix de meilleure apparition dans une série attribué à l’actrice Lee Yoo-mi.

Les séries “Severance” (Apple TV+), métaphore inquiétante sur le monde du travail, et “Ozark” (Netflix), qui explore le blanchiment d’argent et les vices de la classe moyenne américaine, visent elles aussi le prix de la meilleure série dramatique.

Dans ce genre de séries, Zendaya, déjà récompensée en 2020, a toutes les chances d’être encore élue meilleure actrice pour son rôle d’adolescente toxicomane dans “Euphoria”.

– Comédies et mini-séries –

Côté comédies, “Ted Lasso” (Apple TV+), vainqueur l’an dernier, semble bien parti pour rempiler. Dans la série, Jason Sudeikis incarne un entraîneur de football américain parachuté dans une équipe de foot anglaise.

Nominé dans la catégorie meilleur acteur d’une comédie, il affronte Bill Hader, pour son rôle de tueur à gages qui se rêve en star hollywoodienne dans la série “Barry”.

Chez les femmes, Jean Smart est largement pressentie pour être à nouveau élue comme meilleure actrice, pour sa performance dans “Hacks”, une comédie où elle campe le rôle d’une humoriste vieillissante de Las Vegas, forcée de se réinventer.

Comme chaque année, la catégorie mini-série, qui récompense les productions limitées à une seule saison, apportera du sang neuf.

Quatre des cinq prétendants s’inspirent de scandales réels. “Dopesick” examine la dépendance meurtrière des Etats-Unis aux opioïdes, “The Dropout” aborde la fraude montée par la start-up médicale Theranos, “Pam and Tommy” retrace les dessous de la publication de la sex-tape de Pamela Anderson, et “Inventing Anna” suit l’histoire d’une jeune Russe qui a longtemps trompé le gotha new-yorkais en se faisant passer pour une riche héritière allemande.

Mais dans cette catégorie, la satire tragi-comique “The White Lotus”, qui tacle l’hypocrisie ambiante d’un hôtel de luxe hawaïen, semble favorite avec huit nominations.

Michael Keaton a de son côté reçu l’Emmy du meilleur acteur dans une mini-série, pour son rôle dans “Dopesick”.

La première partie de la soirée a laissé peu de place aux surprises: les Emmys dans les catégories récompensant les seconds rôles ont été remportés par des favoris, appartenant aux séries phares “Succession”, “Ozark”, ou les mini-séries “The White Lotus” et “Dopesick”.

Michael Keaton a de son côté reçu l’Emmy du meilleur acteur dans une mini-série, pour son rôle dans “Dopesick”, mini-série qui examine la dépendance meurtrière des Etats-Unis aux opioïdes.

– Diversité à l’honneur –

Les moments les plus marquants de la cérémonie ont été ceux permettant de célébrer la diversité à l’écran, un thème central où Hollywood tente de s’améliorer depuis plusieurs années.

L’actrice Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”) a provoqué des frissons dans l’assistance, en chantant le titre “Endangered Species” de la jazzwoman afro-américaine Dianne Reeves, pour accepter son prix du meilleur second rôle dans une comédie.

“Quand j’étais une petite fille, tout ce que je voulais, c’était me voir moi dans les médias. Une personne grosse comme moi, noire comme moi, belle comme moi”, a déclaré sous les applaudissements la chanteuse Lizzo, récompensée pour son émission de télé-réalité où elle recrute des danseuses grandes tailles pour l’accompagner sur scène.

“Nous avons fait beaucoup de progrès, mais il y a encore beaucoup de travail à accomplir”, lui a répondu l’actrice Geena Davis, primée pour le travail de son institut en faveur d’une meilleure représentation. “La télévision peut souvent influencer directement la manière dont les gens se voient et dont ils estiment leur valeur”, a-t-elle insisté.

Bahamian politicians want Charles III to atone for ills of slavery Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

As Charles III began his reign as King of Great Britain and 14 other realms, politicians in The Bahamas said this new era of the monarchy is a perfect time for an apology and reparations to be given to those affected by colonialism.

Speaking with members of the media following the official announcement of Charles’ ascension as King of The Bahamas on Sunday in Nassau, Opposition leader Michael Pintard said an apology and atoning for the wrongs of the past is the right thing to do.

“[Reparations for slavery] has always been a front-burner issue in the minds of descendants of Africans who were enslaved and we know very well that the United Kingdom played a role in that regard,” he said.

“For those persons who say we should take that off the front burner [since] we have emerged as an independent country [and] many of us are doing exceptionally well…I’m saying to those persons that we write the historical wrongs.”

Minister of Social Services Obie Wilchcombe expressed a similar view to the opposition leader.

“The critical thing about life is not the mistakes you made, it is how you are able to rise up and amend and to be able to correct the mistakes you made…It takes a big man, a big organisation to be able to reflect to be able to say we were wrong. And that’s an admittance,” he said.

King Charles’ son, Prince William, his brother, Prince Edward, and their wives were met with some hostility during their visits to the Caribbean earlier this year to mark Queen Elizabeth II’s 70-year rule.

Activists demanded that the royal family and the UK Government pay reparations to the descendants of enslaved Africans and indigenous people who were brutalised on plantations that supplied wealth, which funded the kingdom.

While not outrightly apologising for the ills of Trans-Atlantic Slavery and British Colonialism in Africa, Asia and the Caribbean, Charles expressed his deep sorrow about the issue during a speech at the Commonwealth Heads of Government summit in Kigali, Rwanda earlier this year.

“While we strive together for peace, prosperity and democracy, I want to acknowledge that the roots of our contemporary association run deep into the most painful period of our history,” Charles said.

“I cannot describe the depths of my personal sorrow at the suffering of so many as I continue to deepen my own understanding of slavery’s enduring impact.”

Parent stabbing of security guard in Jamaica ‘totally unacceptable’ Loop Barbados

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Barbados News

Jamaica’s Education Minister Fayval Williams has described last Friday’s stabbing of a security guard at Herbert Morrison Technical High School in Montego Bay, St James, Jamaica, as “totally unacceptable and outrageous behaviour by a parent”.

Williams has condemned the action of the perpetrator.

In a statement today (September 12), the minister noted that it was reported that the security guard attempted to bar a parent from entering the compound on September 9, because he considered her deportment in violation of the school’s dress code.

The parent allegedly insisted on being allowed to enter the premises, and the ensuing argument escalated.

In a video that has gone viral on social media, two women can be seen attacking the security guard, with one using what is said to be a pair of scissors to repeatedly jab at him then blood appeared on his clothing.

“This kind of behaviour is to be condemned in the strongest possible terms. We cannot expect to set a good example to children by resorting to violence when we have disagreements.

Last Friday’s incident, as reported and captured on phone videos, suggests this attack took place in full view of students. This is outrageous and cannot be condoned,” Williams stated.

“Where parents or guardians are in disagreement with schools’ regulations, they should seek to have their concerns raised at Parent Teachers’ Association meetings and with the administration. We must set better examples for our children overall, and especially as we are calling on parents to ensure their children obey the school rules,” the minister added.

The woman alleged to have done the stabbing was reportedly prevented from entering the school to watch a football match after the security guard determined that the pair of shorts she was wearing was too short.

Eyewitness: Movin’…to high ground

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: INews Guyana

Some might’ve thought that Pres Ali’s “Silica City” announcement two years ago was just a gimmick. But it should now be clear that unlike Burnham – who talked about having a new city on higher ground in the then North West District – this president isn’t just full of ideas like the departed dictator. Ali isn’t a “talk man” like his predecessor, but a “do man”!! It appears that Pres Ali has long nurtured this dream – since 2013 when he was Minister of Housing, to be exact. Maybe that’s the reason he did his PhD dissertation at UWI on urban planning?? And now that he’s got the authority to make his dream a reality he’s going full steam ahead!! Silica City here we come!!!

Now, there’s many reasons why Ali’s locational choice is so appropriate. First of all, there’s the question of practicality: which investors and pioneers were going to move all the way to the now Region 1 to set up a new city?? Jim Jones II?? Hasn’t the Government been trying with Mabaruma for the longest while? Let’s face it – that idea wasn’t sustainable – like most of Burnham’s big ideas – and that’s why it never got off the ground – pun intended!! The time will come for Reg 1 to have its city – but not now!!

So what makes Silica City right – apart from its alliterative ease on the tongue!? Well, it’s far from the madding crowd (and stench!) of Georgetown, but being near CJIA, it’s actually as close as you can get to the international investment crowd we’re trying to attract into our country!! And with the Highway to Lethem soon to be completed, it’s closer to both Linden and that behemoth in our south – Brazil – to which we’ll be strengthening our trading links!! Silica City’s also gonna be closer to the Intermediate Savannahs where we’re diversifying our agricultural base away from sugar and rice!!

The President just reiterated the incentives that are available for “pioneers” as we begin to “bust open” our interior!! Now your Eyewitness feels we gotta speak frankly to those who’ll soon be hollering “discrimination!!” when Silica City’s off and running. Let them apply NOW for housing or business – or whatever – permits!! And if they don’t, too late shall be the cry!! Linden with its Opposition supporters are in the best position to take advantage of this opportunity – and the PNC should encourage and organise this initiative!!But your Eyewitness has a suggestion for Pres Ali. Why not move the Government’s administrative infrastructure to Silica City. That’s what Brazil did when they created Brasilia in the middle of the Amazon during the 1960s!!What can you lose but the power to be crippled by strikes??!!

…back to #1?

Your Eyewitness is from the generation that remembers when the Pegasus (the “Peg” to insiders, thank you!!) was the pride of the GT crowd!! Hanging out at poolside, wolfing down hors d’oeuvre as discreetly as possible – while quaffing some cold Banks with Sly and the Family Stones crooning in the background – was the height of cool!! Anyhow, time and tide wait for no man – and evidently no hotel!! The edifice, where Elizabeth II had slept (Is there a sign “Lizzie slept here” in the room??) fell on hard times.

But seems like the Pegasus is rising like the Phoenix from the ashes – and is about to regain bragging rights as “the best ole huh-tel in Guyana”!! Your Eyewitness just saw the announcement of a rather posh restaurant going up at the ground floor of the massive, black-rock modern that now complements the still distinctive, avant-garde polygonal structure that was the Peg. He can’t wait for the opening!!Can he recapture some of that ole time feelin’?!!

…on in Ireland

A clip of a stadium of Irish football fans singing “Lizzie in a box” to the tune of KC and the Sunshine Band’s hit song, “Give It Up” went viral upon hearing of the passing of Queen Elizabeth.
