The Academy Awards took place in Los Angeles. Anora scooped the most honours, while Conclave, The Brutalist, Wicked, and Emilia Pérez also took prizes.

“Anora,” the dramatic comedy from director Sean Baker, was the night’s big winner at the 97th Academy Awards, taking home five awards including best picture and best actress for star Mikey Madison.

Hosted for the first time by Conan O’Brien, the Oscars ceremony brought to a close an award season overshadowed by January’s Los Angeles wildfires that devastated the city and affected many in the industry.

The show began with a special package of film clips that paid tribute to the city and ended with “We Love LA.” A chill-inducing performance by “Wicked” stars Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo followed.

Going into Sunday’s ceremony, Netflix musical/crime drama hybrid “Emilia Pérez” led with 13 nominations. Oz-set “Wicked” and “The Brutalist,” which stars Adrien Brody as a Holocaust survivor and architect, follow with 10 nods each.

“The Brutalist” ended the night with three awards, including best actor for Adrien Brody. “Wicked” earned two wins, including best production design and best costume design.

Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Seyi Awolowo, has vowed never to return to the show if given the opportunity.

Featuring in a recent episode of the Old Secrets podcast, Awolowo lamented that he allowed himself to be bullied by “very low, insignificant and uneducated people” by accepting to be on the show and vowed not to allow that again.

He explained that if he could go back in time, he still wouldn’t change any of his actions in the house, stressing that he has already been chastised and have learned from his mistakes.

He, however, lamented the attitude of some educated elites who also joined in bullying out of convenience.

“I will never go back to the show, Multichoice can’t even call me…

“I allow myself get bullied by very very insignificant and uneducated people. Not to mention the educated ones amongst that have the ability to see the truth but because of convenience, refused to stand by it,” he said.

Mrs Osawaru gave the charge at the Idibia’s residence in Lagos on Friday while celebrating the legendary musician’s 50th birthday.

She noted that she’s delighted to have the singer as her son-in-law, and prayed that he continues to age with grace.

“It’s a joy and delight to have you as my son-in-law… Innocent Idibia, at 50, you’re looking 25. When some of us are praying to age gracefully, God has done it for you already. You will continue to age gracefully, In Jesus’ name. Amen.

“By the time we come next, we will see the baby crawling around,” she said.
