“Absolutely loving this new Ilia Beauty Complexion Stick,” she wrote in an Instagram Story.

The brand’s $48 Skin Rewind Complexion Stick contains skin care ingredients that provide anti-aging benefits while working like makeup to conceal and even out skin tone.

Ilia Beauty, a brand beloved by celebrities like Paulina Porizkova and Riley Keough, dropped the makeup-skincare hybrid earlier this month.

The complexion stick has buildable medium coverage and can be used with a light hand for a sleek look or layered for a flawless, natural matte finish.

Key skincare ingredients, such as ceramides, peptides and avocado oil, worked over time to help reduce wrinkles.

The brand says the complexion stick lasts up to 12 hours without moving as you turn back the clock on your skin.

The stick received hundreds of five-star reviews from customers who were satisfied with its makeup and skincare functionalities.

“I’ve been using this complexion stick for two weeks now and love the weightless feeling and the way it evens out my skin tone,” wrote one satisfied customer.

“It leaves a dewy finish and doesn’t clump around larger pores, which is an issue I have with other complexion sticks.

“Blends beautifully, no caking.”

Another reviewer was shocked by the weightless feel of the foundation stick.

“I was pleasantly surprised after using the complexion stick. I found it super easy to apply and blend, and I felt it provided good coverage. I also didn’t feel like I was wearing anything,” they wrote.

Emma Stone’s make-up artist revealed she was one of the first celebrities to test out Ilia’s latest product.

In a Instagram postIlia Beauty unveiled Emma’s radiant look for the Producers Guild Awards.

According to the brand, fellow A-listers Greta Gerwig and Lily Gladstone also hit the red carpet this awards season.

(Editor’s note: This is part of the Bracket Central Series, an inside look at the run-up to the men’s and women’s NCAA Tournaments, along with analysis and picks during the tournaments.)

Since Florida repeated as national champs in 2007, no defending champion has advanced past the Sweet 16. That ends this year.

 

Connecticut is the most complete team in college basketball, and it’s going to end that streak and repeat as national champions. That was my pre-bracket prediction and I’m sticking with it, but the selection committee really has me uneasy about that prediction. The Huskies received no favors as the top overall seed. You could argue that UConn has the toughest path to Phoenix as any of the top seeds. Iowa State has the best defense in college basketball. Illinois has one of the best offenses and was a team pre-bracket that I was pretty sure I would push through to the Final Four, and Auburn is the candidate to be this season’s UConn.

My other pre-bracket rule: Fade the Big 12. The league is the most physical in the country and its teams, outside of Iowa State, are entering the NCAA Tournament bruised and battered. And if you look through the all-conference teams in the Big 12, the talent is not comparable to past years. There aren’t a lot of pros, and the talent is down. There are still a lot of good teams, but for most of the year it felt like Houston was the only great one. And Houston is a shell of itself right now.

Sometimes it’s a curse to watch a lot of college basketball because it leads to going too chalky. Last season, that would have gotten you in real trouble. This year the top is stronger. It’s not just the eye test. Adjusted efficiency margins at KenPom.com suggest this as well. For instance, last season’s No. 1 entering the tournament (Houston) would be this season’s No. 3. Last season’s No. 2 (UCLA) would fall to No. 6 this year. The numbers a year ago were hinting at possible chaos. This year we could get a more chalky Final Four.

Now, maybe you’ve come here for help with your bracket. My advice: If you’re convinced that UConn is the best team, then pick the Huskies. But if you’re not, there’s a lot of value in picking Purdue. The Boilermakers have been one of the best two teams in the country all season, but a lot of people are going to pick an early upset because Matt Painter’s team has lost in the first round in two of the last three tournaments — including No. 16 seed Fairleigh Dickinson last year. This is not the same Purdue team. That one featured freshmen guards who were wearing down. Now Braden Smith and Fletcher Loyer are sophomores, and Smith, in particular, has made a big leap and is one of the best point guards in the country. He also has playmaking help in Southern Illinois transfer guard Lance Jones.

I’m sticking with UConn, but I’ve got Purdue in the championship game.

Let’s get to the nitty gritty now. Here is a region-by-region breakdown.

East Region

• The second round is the first possible pothole for UConn. Northwestern took Purdue to overtime twice this season and has one of the best-scoring guards in America in Boo Buie. His ability to punish drop coverage is why I’m hesitant to take Florida Atlantic in the first round. FAU’s defense is designed to give up jump shots in the mid-range. Buie doesn’t take a lot of mid-range jumpers, but he’s one of the best pick-and-roll scorers in the country and has an effective field-goal percentage of 58.6 on shots off the dribble, per Synergy.

The Owls have performed their best coming off their lowest points, and losing to Temple in the AAC tournament was a low. Dusty May’s team will be motivated and also potentially a scary matchup for UConn, as the Owls also play their best against top competition — they knocked off Arizona in Las Vegas just before Christmas.

• Auburn is way underseeded if you’re a believer in metrics. The Tigers rank No. 4 at KenPom.com, and as stated earlier, they’re a good candidate to be the UConn of this tournament. UConn was also No. 4 at KenPom going into last year’s bracket and also was a No. 4 seed with the defending national champs (Kansas) as its No. 1 seed in its region.

The Tigers have double-digit wins in 26 of their 27 wins. Last season, UConn had double-digit wins in 19 of its 25 victories heading into the NCAA Tournament and then won all of its tourney games by double digits. This is potential pothole No. 2 for the Huskies, assuming Auburn can get past Yale (Ivy League was one of the best mid-major leagues this year) and San Diego State, which has one of college basketball’s best scoring bigs in Jaedon LeDee.

• One smart upset pick in this region could be Duquesne over BYU. The Dukes hold their opponents to 31.7 percent 3-point shooting, and BYU lives and dies by the 3. Dayton is probably the closest equivalent to BYU on Duquesne’s schedule; Duquesne got swept by Dayton in the regular season but just upset the Flyers in the A-10 tournament.

• Drake will be a popular 10-7 upset pick because it’ll have the best player on the floor in Tucker DeVries, who will be looking for tourney redemption. Last season, Drake led Miami by eight with under five minutes to go and ended up blowing the late lead, and DeVries scored three points on 1-of-13 shooting in that game. Washington State relies a lot on scoring inside the arc and was the second-best offensive-rebounding team in the Pac-12. Drake’s 2-point defense — allowing 51.9 percent — is not great, but it is the best defensive-rebounding team in the country.

Iowa State will have the best homecourt advantage the opening weekend. Iowa State fans love to travel to see their Cyclones, and it’s a short drive to Omaha. They just took over the T-Mobile Center in Kansas City.

• Illinois has won seven of eight games entering the tournament, with that one loss coming to Purdue. The Illini have the positional size to match up with UConn. Their defense — 91st at KenPom — is suspect, but it doesn’t make a lot of sense when you look at the roster. Terrence Shannon Jr. can be a lockdown defender on the perimeter when he wants to be, and Coleman Hawkins is one of the most versatile defenders in the country. Shannon is averaging 31.8 points over his last four games, and he might be the toughest wing in college basketball to defend. (It’s him or Dalton Knecht.)

I’m not sure Illinois has the defensive discipline to handle all of the movement and off-ball screening action from UConn, but I was tempted to make this upset pick. If UConn ends up repeating, the Final Four could end up an easier two games than the second weekend. UConn doesn’t play through Donovan Clingan in the post a lot, but this could be a game to give him the ball a lot, as he has a size and strength advantage on Hawkins. (The Illini do have behemoth Dain Dainja off the bench.) Clingan’s rim protection will also be important, as Shannon and Marcus Domask both live in the paint.

South Region

• Nebraska has never won a NCAA Tournament game, but this is the year! The key will be trying to keep Texas A&M off the offensive glass. The Aggies are the best offensive-rebounding team in the country. Nebraska ranks 223rd in defensive rebounding rate. Whoever wins this game is a good candidate to upset Houston.

• Houston is the most vulnerable No. 1 seed with J’Wan Roberts getting injured in the Big 12 tournament. Roberts, who hurt his shin in the semis, did play in the final but lasted only 13 minutes. The Cougars are also missing their two best bench players, and Kelvin Sampson doesn’t have a lot of confidence in his reserves right now.

One of the best weapons to have against Houston’s ball-screen defense is a pick-and-pop, playmaking five and Nebraska has that in Rienk Mast. If it’s Texas A&M advancing in the first round, the Aggies can match Houston’s physicality. And while Houston’s a great offensive-rebounding team, it’s not great right now on the defensive glass, especially since losing backup center Joseph Tugler. The Aggies struggled shooting the ball most of the season, but they’re averaging 83 points and are 5-1 since inserting Manny Obaseki into the starting lineup.

I’ve gone back and forth on who will win Nebraska-A&M. My initial gut pick was Nebraska, but I’m wavering and would probably change my pick if I hadn’t already submitted my bracket! But forgot the wavering. The Huskers are not only going to win their first tourney game in school history; they’re making the Sweet 16.

• Wisconsin and Duke have tricky first-round matchups, and Vermont or James Madison would be worthwhile upset picks. I was hesitant because I’ve got Houston losing and feel like this is a strong 4-5 region. My logic for picking Wisconsin is that Duke’s interior defense is soft. Wisconsin’s Steven Crowl is playing well and will be a matchup problem for Duke in the post. Wisconsin is 15-6 when he scores in double figures.

• Texas Tech is another Big 12 team hurt by injuries. Starting center Warren Washington has missed eight of the last nine games, and he went scoreless in 13 minutes in his one appearance during that stretch. Starting wing Darrion Williams, one of Texas Tech’s most important pieces, also sat out the Houston game with an ankle injury. I’d expect both to play, but NC State is already a tricky matchup with the red-hot DJ Burns. I was going to pick against the Wolfpack in the opening round because I figured they’d be a tired team, but the health of the Red Raiders worries me more.

• Marquette will have a challenging second-round game, whether it’s Florida, Colorado or Boise State. Both the Gators and Buffaloes are talented, and the Broncos went 13-5 in a challenging Mountain West and had the league’s best offense in conference play. Also, there’s the concern of Tyler Kolek and his oblique injury.

But I’ve been high on the Golden Eagles all season, and they’ve felt like a team that will peak in March after getting upset in the second round last season by Michigan State. Usually, when a veteran team has a loss like that and returns most of its core, it’s a safe bet that the team goes on a run. (See 2019 Virginia for the most extreme example.)

• Kentucky and Illini are the two teams in this bracket that give off the most 2023 Miami vibes. Both are electric on offense and suspect on defense. I trust the Illini more because they’re older. If Marquette-Kentucky happens in the Sweet 16, it’ll be super watchable and likely fast-paced. Wish we knew exactly how healthy Kolek will be, but Marquette is a nightmare matchup for Kentucky’s defense. Kentucky’s ball-screen defense has been brutal for much of the season, and Kolek and Oso Ighodaro are one of the best pick-and-roll tandems in the country. Marquette also can guard.

• Shaka Smart is 0-3 against Wisconsin as the coach at Marquette, including a 75-64 loss in Madison this year. That was one of the worst games of the season for Kolek and Ighodaro. The Badgers dared Kolek to shoot and took away Ighodaro on the roll. Ighodaro finished with just five points on five shots, and Kolek went 1-of-5 from distance.

Since Jan. 15, the only two teams to beat Marquette are Creighton and Connecticut. Marquette was not quite in the right headspace early in the season when it lost that game but it’s quietly been one of the best teams in the country the last two months and still played pretty well with Kolek sidelined. Smart is finally going to get a win in this rivalry game, sending Marquette to its first Final Four since 2003.

West Region

This is the region best set up for chaos, so let’s get weird.

• Mississippi State just upset Tennessee in the SEC tournament and has the bodies to throw at North Carolina’s Armando Bacot. Chris Jans is one of the best defensive coaches in the country, and his team is holding opponents to 29.4 percent shooting from deep. He’ll be sure to limit the looks for RJ Davis and Cormac Ryan.

The Bulldogs will tempt Elliot Cadeau into shooting. He’s seen the dork defense before — when teams sag off him on the perimeter — sometimes he’s baited into shooting. He’s made just 8-of-44 3s all season. Jans has one of the hottest scorers in the country too, with freshman guard Josh Hubbard averaging 25.4 points over his last eight. A smart game plan and a hot Hubbard are the difference in the second round. And if it’s Sparty playing the Heels, that’s a core that went on a surprise run last year.

• Grand Canyon has one of the best talents in this region in Tyon Grant-Foster, the former Kansas/DePaul wing who sat out the last two years with a heart problem and returned to the floor this season to average 19.8 points per game. I went to see Grant-Foster play for the first time when he was the top-rated juco recruit at Indian Hills Community College in Iowa. He’s always had the talent, and Bryce Drew has brought out the best of him. This is one of the most heartwarming stories in college basketball. Grand Canyon has a talented roster around him too, but I’m picking this upset with my heart. It’d be cool to see Grant-Foster have his moment on this stage.

• New Mexico was the most talented team in the Mountain West but battled injuries and inconsistent play and finished sixth in the conference standings. But the Lobos got hot this weekend, winning the MWC tournament, and they’re healthy now and metric darlings. They rank No. 23 at KenPom, so that’d suggest they’re underseeded. They have a potential second-round matchup with Baylor, which has an elite offense but has been mediocre defensively the last two seasons.

The Lobos aren’t a great matchup for Arizona in the Sweet 16. When the Wildcats have struggled this year, it’s been against teams that can take advantage of Oumar Ballo in the pick-and-roll. The Lobos P&R handlers finish the second-most possessions of anyone in college hoops, per Synergy. They have one of the best guard trios in the country in Donovan Dent, Jaelen House and Jamal Mashburn Jr. They also have Nelly Junior Joseph, who is big and strong enough to deal with Ballo on the blocks.

• I’m not sure there’s a team I feel comfortable picking in the Final Four in this region. This is the region where it feels like the selection committee messed up. UNC and Arizona have the easier paths to the Elite Eight, and I’m probably dumb not picking either to get there. But, again, this feels like the spot for chaos. And the team that could benefit is Alabama, which had the hottest offense in college basketball for about the first seven weeks of the calendar year.

The Crimson Tide shoot a ton of 3s, and with that can come some variance. They also have a crummy defense. And they’re in that Kentucky/Illini category of electric offense and suspect defense. Put Illinois in this region and I’d feel great putting the Illini in the Final Four. I’m not so comfortable going with the Crimson Tide, but it’s a team that is probably better than its record. Most will see 11 losses and get scared. Most will see losers of four of their final six and get scared. But the tournament is often a reset, and teams that play unique styles are often good candidates to go on runs. Think some of Jim Boeheim’s mediocre Syracuse teams of the past.

Midwest Region

• Gonzaga and Kansas are both going to be popular Round 1 upset picks. McNeese State is 30-3 and coached by former LSU coach Will Wade. I was tempted. The Cowboys dominated the Southland, but that’s one of the worst leagues in college basketball. Mark Few hasn’t lost in the first round since 2008 and his team has a major size advantage.

Kansas has a confidence problem and has been the second-worst 3-point shooting team in college basketball the last six weeks. But Samford is actually a good matchup for the Jayhawks in their vulnerable state. Because the Bulldogs press, it’ll allow Kansas to get out in the open floor. That’s where Dajuan Harris Jr., Kevin McCullar Jr., KJ Adams and Johnny Furphy thrive. A fast-paced game will be a welcome change from the sometimes slog of the Big 12.

• Oregon coach Dana Altman is one of the best postseason coaches. The Ducks have made the Sweet 16 as a No. 7 and a No. 12 in their last two tourney appearances. Altman is known for mixing defenses and confusing opponents in the postseason, and center N’Faly Dante, who missed the first half of the season, is playing his best ball of the year. South Carolina coach Lamont Paris will be coaching in only his second NCAA Tournament game. The Gamecocks are also No. 49 at KenPom, so this will likely be close to a coin flip in Vegas. Feels like a good spot to pick an upset.

• Tennessee has one of the easiest second-round matchups no matter if it’s Virginia, Colorado State or Texas. That first weekend should help the Vols get their swagger back after losing two straight coming into the tournament. The key for Tennessee will be getting some offense from someone in addition to Dalton Knecht and Zakai Zeigler. Both Josiah-Jordan James and Santiago Vescovi are in major slumps.

Creighton-Tennessee could be a great Sweet 16 game, but here’s betting the Vols look like themselves again the first weekend and ride that confidence to the Elite Eight. That’s where it gets tricky if they play Purdue, who beat them 71-67 in the opening round of the Maui Invitational in a game where neither team played that great. That was before Zeigler, coming off offseason knee surgery, looked like himself, but Zach Edey dominated. Not sure the Vols have an answer for slowing Edey, and the Vols couldn’t beat Purdue with Braden Smith having one of his worst games (six points, one assist, three turnovers). Purdue could end up reliving Honolulu, beating Tennessee and Marquette on its way to the national title game.

• Purdue has the easiest path to the Elite Eight of all the No. 1 seeds, and for that reason it might be a smart champion pick. In my bracket, we get the national championship between the two teams who have been at the top of the rankings for most of the year and a game I’ve wanted to see. If it happens, UConn has the big in Clingan to slow Edey, and UConn has better talent around its star big man. I don’t love UConn’s path, but if we get this game, the Huskies are the more complete team. Purdue relies a ton on Smith and Edey, but all five of UConn’s starters could go for 20-plus any given night.

Hij speelt in de veelgeprezen Mary & George tegenover Julianne Moore en zal deze zomer samen met Anne Hathaway de hoofdrol spelen in The Idea of ​​You.

Maar voordat hij aan zijn carrière begon, leek Nicholas Galitzine bepaald niet voorbestemd om de nieuwste hartenbreker van Hollywood te worden. Sterker nog, hij was een ‘verlegen kind’ dat hoge verwachtingen koesterde om in plaats daarvan professioneel rugby te gaan spelen.

De in Londen geboren 29-jarige, die naar verluidt afstamt van de Russische adel, stemde er alleen mee in om op te treden tijdens zijn eerste acteerauditie in een poging indruk te maken op zijn geliefde.

Maar sindsdien floreert hij in de showbusiness en heeft hij rollen gekregen in onder meer Red, White en Royal Blue, de LGBTQ+-romcom die de genegenheid van fans over de hele wereld veiligstelde, ondanks dat hij door critici als ‘flauw’ werd bestempeld.

Hij liet de kijkers opnieuw warm onder de kraag achter in Sky’s Mary & George; Het werd vorige week uitgebracht en vertelt het schandalige, waargebeurde verhaal van een 17e-eeuwse gravin Mary Villiers (gespeeld door Julianne Moore), die haar zoon (Nicholas) kneedde om koning James I te verleiden.

Door buitensporige plannen groeiden moeder en zoon van een bescheiden begin op tot de rijkste, meest vooraanstaande en invloedrijke spelers die het Engelse hof ooit had gezien, en de meest vertrouwde adviseurs van de koning.

Fans hebben de ordinaire bonk-buster geprezen om de mix van ‘kostuum, complotten en seks’, terwijl critici het ‘belachelijk leuk’ en een ‘koninklijke stoeipartij van seks en gekonkel’ noemden.

De tijden gaf de show vier sterren en vergeleek de film met The Favourite uit 2018, met “kleurrijk vloeken, momenten van niet-gecentreerde humor en ravotten met een go-go”.

The Daily Mail schreef: ‘Dit schunnige, uitbundige, 17e-eeuwse kostuumdrama Mary & George (Sky Atlantic) volgt de jongen terwijl hij opstaat om een ​​hertogdom op te eisen, zoals tweede zonen soms doen. Serials uit dit tijdperk volgen twee patronen: het literaire of het wellustige, Wolf Hall of The Tudors.

‘Dit valt zeker in het laatste kamp en als je van ordinaire, wellustige en vloekende geschiedenis houdt, is het erg leuk.’

Voortbordurend op zijn succes, speelt Nicholas ook de hoofdrol tegenover A-lister Anne Hathaway in Amazon Prime’s komende romantische drama The Idea of ​​You, dat in mei zal verschijnen.

Maar de filmcarrière van Nicholas kwam in alle opzichten enigszins uit de lucht vallen – toen hij opgroeide, ging de 1,80 meter lange ster om met het ‘sportieve publiek’ toen hij naar een jongensschool ging en acteren was het verste waar hij aan dacht.

In de hoop echter dichter bij zijn verliefdheid te komen na zijn afstuderen, deed Nicholas auditie voor een festivaltoneelstuk bestemd voor het Edinburgh Fringe Festival.

Sprekend over zijn aanvankelijke onwil, vertelde hij Het laatste tijdschrift: ‘In het begin was ik erg verlegen omdat het idee om op te treden me gewoon doodsbang maakte.

‘Ik was altijd een beetje introvert en een verlegen kind, dus het idee om op te treden was angstaanjagend, maar ik was net afgestudeerd en het was een leuk zomervakantieplan, dus ik deed er auditie voor.

‘Hilarisch genoeg – mijn vader zal me dit nooit laten meemaken – maar ik was buiten de bioscoop en ik belde hem op met de vraag: ‘Wat doe ik hier verdomme? Ik ben geen acteur, ik heb dit nog nooit gedaan, dit is stom, ik moet naar huis komen.’

‘Hij overtuigde mij ervan dat het op zijn minst een leuke, nieuwe ervaring zou zijn en dat ik er waarschijnlijk spijt van zou krijgen als ik het niet zou doen.’

In een vervolg op Wonderland Magazine in 2019 zei hij: ‘Er was een meisje dat naar het Edinburgh Fringe Festival ging en dat ik echt leuk vond. ik deed [the festival] zodat ik dit meisje kon achtervolgen. En ik kwam terug met dit acteerbureau.’

Nicholas zei dat hij nooit een acteercarrière had overwogen en zich zorgen maakte over zijn ouders, en voegde eraan toe: ‘Ik weet zeker dat ze zo blij waren nadat ze voor mij een opleiding hadden betaald dat ik de weg van een werkloze, blut acteur volgde.’

Maar toen hij er uiteindelijk in terechtkwam, bleef zijn familie hem steunen – en Nicholas bleef een goede band behouden met zijn ouders, die allebei in de financiële wereld werken, en met zijn oudere zus, kunstenaar Lexi.

De acteur, opgevoed door zijn Griekse moeder en Russische vader, kreeg zijn eerste rol in het komediedrama The Beat Beneath My Feet uit 2014.

Al snel volgden een hele reeks andere rollen, waaronder in de romantische komedie High Strung en het drama Handsome Devil.

Ondanks het sudderende succes kreeg Nicholas ongetwijfeld zijn grote doorbraak toen hij werd gecast als Prins Robert in Amazons live action-bewerking van Assepoester tegenover Camila Cabello, die de rol van de prinses op zich nam.

Nicholas bloeide in zijn koninklijke rollen, misschien dankzij zijn eigen indrukwekkende familielijn.

Internetspeurneuzen hebben de erfenis van de ster bij elkaar gebracht om te onthullen dat hij afstamt van het Huis van Golitsyn – een van de grootste prinselijke families onder het door de tsaar geregeerde Rusland.

Er wordt gedacht dat zijn eigen voorouders gedwongen werden naar Groot-Brittannië te vluchten te midden van de politieke en sociale onrust van de Russische Revolutie die tussen 1917 en 1923 woedde.

In de nasleep van zijn Assepoester-succes kreeg Nicholas vervolgens een hoofdrol in Netflix’s Purple Hearts – die draait om een ​​onrustige marinier en een wilskrachtige zanger die ondanks hun ideologisch tegengestelde standpunten een huwelijk voor geld faken.

Hoewel er veel controverse over bestond, werd het al snel de meest succesvolle titel van het platform van 2022, en stuwde Nicholas’ carrière naar nieuwe hoogten.

Maar tijdens zijn succes bleef hij zijn vader prijzen omdat hij hem het duwtje in de rug gaf dat hij nodig had.

Op Vaderdag in 2021 deelde Nicholas samen met vader Geoffrey een afbeelding met het onderschrift: ‘Aan de man die mij heeft opgevoed, mij naar rugbywedstrijden door het hele land heeft gereden, mij een vliegtuig heeft laten besturen toen ik negen was, mij heeft overtuigd om te gaan naar de auditie voor het toneelstuk waarin ik gescout zou worden en een carrière als acteur zou beginnen, GELUKKIGE VADERDAG!!

‘Je moed en je gedrevenheid inspireren mij meer dan je weet. Je bent er bij elke stap voor me geweest en ik kon me niet beter wensen. Ik hou van je, Grote G.’

Nicholas – die door fans een ‘queer-icoon’ wordt genoemd nadat hij verschillende LGBTQ+-personagerollen heeft gespeeld – heeft zijn eigen seksualiteit nooit rechtstreeks aan de orde gesteld, maar heeft eerder zijn wens besproken om de LGBTQ+-gemeenschap accuraat te vertegenwoordigen.

Spreken met de Gewoon voor variatie podcast over authentieke casting in relatie tot Rood, Wit en Koningsblauw in het bijzonder, zei hij: ‘Ik vind het een heel gevoelig onderwerp.

‘Ik denk dat het belangrijkste voor mij was om Matthew te laten weten dat ik hield van wie Henry was als persoon, en ik leefde met hem in als personage, en ik wilde gewoon proberen een zo eerlijk mogelijke prestatie neer te zetten – nooit een karikatuur – als Ik zou kunnen.’

Spider-Man: About the Spider-Verse star Shame on Moore is speaking out after his initial reaction to the film’s loss at the 2024 Oscars.

“Respect to the winners,” Moore, 28, wrote via X on Sunday March 10. “It’s true, I’m definitely a sore loser, but we didn’t lose, Spider verse has impacted MANY lives, we may not have been acknowledged tonight, but life goes on, and CONTINUE…yes, get ready.

Minutes after The Academy announced it The boy and the heron won best animated film at the annual awards ceremony, Moore said on social media About the Spider-Verse used to be “robbed.”

His post caught the attention of some movie fans, who quickly commented on his candid response.

“What a horrible thing to say and how unprofessional,” said one user replied. Another follower wrote“Show respect for all nominees and winners and humble yourself.”

One fan pointed out That About the Spider-Verse co-writer and producer Christopher Molenaar reacted positively to the loss when he posted, “Well, if you’re going to lose, you might as well lose to the GOAT.”

Moore then quoted the fan’s comment and asked for forgiveness.

“Honestly, the whole thing Spider verse team are such good sports,” he says wrote. “Very professional and I’m curious to see what comes of this. I’m young and a fighter, so forgive my nature. Congratulations to the winners.”

After attending the 96th Academy Awards, followed by the Vanity fair Oscars Party, Moore took to social media once again to share a cryptic message.

“Everyone keeps telling me how my story should go,” he says wrote to his followers on Monday, March 11. “NAH IMMA DO MY OWN THING.”

Moore played the role of Miles Morales for the first time Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse. The first film in the franchise won the Oscar for Best Animated Feature in 2019.

The sequel of the movie About the Spider-Verse was released in 2023 and subsequently told the story of Miles’ journey through the multiverse, where he encountered a team of Spider-People tasked with protecting its existence.

Although the film did not win an Oscar, it received critical acclaim and other awards, including Best Animated Feature at the Producers Guild of America awards on February 25.

The franchise is expected to continue with an animated threequel already in the works.

‘What I can tell you about Beyond the Spider-Verse is that it will be better than Go inside And About the Spider-Verseand that I will be there,” Moore shared Variety last month. ‘That’s all I can tell you. The second film takes us to the third film.”

Regardless of how many films the franchise may produce, Moore said he is forever grateful for the opportunity to be the voice of Miles.

“I think Miles Morales is beyond Shameik Moore,” he said Comic book movie in February 2024. “I’m honored to have the opportunity to do it, but I bring myself and it’s me for a reason, but I don’t really think about it that way. It’s not about me. None of this. I’m just a ship. It is an honor. It’s all like that.”

PUNTERS have criticized the decision to reject Ryan Moore's appeal against a record £16,500 fine as 'pure and utter madness'.

The world's best flat jockey has also been given a one-day ban for his exploits aboard Auguste Rodin in the Breeders' Cup Turf.

1

Moore delivered a nail-biting masterclass on the inside rail last November to scoop the £1.7million winner's prize.

But eagle-eyed stewards noticed he hit the Aidan O'Brien-trained colt seven times – once over the limit.

They acted quickly, initially handing out the fine and ban in the aftermath of the Santa Anita race.

Moore appealed, but this was rejected by the stewards last weekend – who decided once and for all to impose the huge fine, which would be a record in the state of California.

The financial blow took some of the shine off Auguste Rodin's incredible victory.

And punters were quick to lash out at the stewards for what they deemed an excessive punishment.

One wrote in surprise at the size of the fine: 'Pure and utter madness.'

Another said: “Best ride of the Breeders' Cup by all accounts, but he got a fine. What a joke!”

One comment read: “This sport is so stupid. One of the best rides you will ever see and he got fined £16,000 for it.”

Another viewer wrote: “That ride was amazing. These rules need to be re-evaluated.”

While a fifth said: “I'd love to donate towards his fine. That ride with Auguste was brilliant. Well worth it.”

The fine actually represented about 1 percent of the winners' cash amount.

Mandy Moore knows that she has grown a lot since she and her ex-husband Ryan Adams stopped it.

“It's so weird because I think back on that chapter and it almost feels like it was happening to someone else because I'm in such a different place in my life,” Moore, 39, said on Monday, February 6. , episode of Jesse Tyler Ferguson“S”Dinner is for mepodcast. “I'm married with kids and it's almost like, how did I ever do that? How did I ever get to that place where I let myself be treated like that? [and] that I saw myself that way?”

The singer explained that when she was younger, she made sure others around her felt “as comfortable as possible,” but ended up “belittling” herself in the process. While Moore continued her people-pleasing tendencies in her first marriage, the relationship became “very unhealthy” for her. As Moore grew older and wiser, she dropped those habits.

“That's a completely different person [that] I don't recognize it, I have no relationship with it [her] not at all,” she thought. “I can't even put myself in those shoes anymore, it's strange.”

Adams, now 49, and Moore tied the knot in 2009 after dating for almost a year. The actress confessed on Monday that she was “very young” when she finally decided to get married at the age of 24 and that her parents' decision to divorce influenced her desire to settle down.

“I was so heartbroken [over my parents] and I think I was in a relationship with someone where I thought, 'Oh, I can do that, I can have a family with this person for this person.'” she explained. “And it was clearly not the right situation in any way.”

Moore said she believed with all her heart that this was an “appropriate time” for her to begin a “quiet chapter” in her life. For Moore, however, the relationship left her feeling “really hollow” and “empty.”

In January 2015, Moore filed for divorce from Adams after six years of marriage. The couple finalized their split the following year.

Goldsmith, 38, and Moore married in 2018. The couple shares sons Gus and Ozzie, whom they welcomed in 2021 and 2023, respectively.
