The category winners and shortlisted entries in the Open competition of the 2024 Sony World Photography Awards have been unveiled – and the images featured are as extraordinary as ever.

The prestigious contest runs several competitions every year, with more than 395,000 photographs from more than 220 countries and territories entered into this year’s overall awards.

Standout images from the Open contest include a scene from New Mexico that could be an alien planet, a moonrise burning across the horizon in Scotland and a curious capybara – the world’s largest rodent – wandering around the kitchen of a house in the Amazon Rainforest.

Other particularly mesmerising photos that wowed the judges include a shot of a jaguar attacking a caiman crocodile, a picture of a lone polar bear wandering past a group of walruses and a spellbinding image of llamas enveloped in freezing fog in the iconic Torres del Paine mountains in southern Chile.

Category winners receive digital imaging equipment from Sony and will go on to compete for the prestigious Open Photographer of the Year title and a $5,000 (£3,897) prize – announced on April 18 at an awards ceremony in London.

The 2024 Oscars In Memoriam segment was branded ‘disgraceful’ and ‘disrespectful’ by viewers who were shocked when a troupe of dancers began twirling around the stage while the names of those lost flashed up on screen. 

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences remembered those who have passed away with the annual segment which was set to a new version of Andrea Bocelli’s classic song Time to Say Goodbye, which he sung on stage with his son Matteo.

While several Hollywood greats were honored there were still plenty of high-profile actors who were left out like Suzane Somers, Angus Cloud and Lance Reddick.

Others such as Ron Cephas Jones, Burt Young, writer/producer Norman Lear and filmmaker Terence Davies.

While arguments can be made that many of those actors left more of a mark on television than they did on film, they have all still done notable work on film.

While several Hollywood greats were honored there were still plenty of high-profile actors who were left out like Suzane Somers and Angus Cloud

For those who were honoured, viewers from home were unable to see their names, as they blamed the Academy’s shoddy camera work and zooming out to show the dancers who accompanies the Bocellis on stage. 

Taking to X/Twitter, viewers lamented: ‘Trying to watch that poorly shot #Oscars In Memoriam’; ‘Wake up #Oscars this is the In Memoriam we DO NOT need to see dancers we NEED to see the faces and names of those we lost. This was an amazing ceremony so far, but how do you screw this up again? Shame! #Oscars2024’;

‘#oscars How about a full screen of view of the in memoriam video so we can read the names? This is a terrible set up. Respectfully, the singers should not be the focus.’;

‘How many people can we fit on the stage at once for in the in memoriam segment to distract from honoring those that passed? #Oscars’; ‘Will never understand shooting the #Oscars In Memoriam from across the room, where no one can read the names.’

‘I may be old-fashioned, but I preferred it when the In Memoriam was about the people who died and not about the singing and the dancing. #Oscars #InMemoriam’; ‘Would have been good to be able to see the In Memoriam instead of squinting at the TV #Oscars2024 #OSCARS’;

‘Well-intentioned In Memoriam segment. Beautiful at times even. I just wish we weren’t distracted by what was happening on the stage and could focus on those we lost #Oscars’;

‘I am infuriated by this In Memoriam. it should be a full screen for the viewers, without distraction from the stage. this is a disgrace. if my loved one were in this, I would be so sad at how this is handled. #Oscars’; 

‘Uhhh in case you couldn’t read the quickly flashed “hey look we didn’t miss anyone this time” list at the end of the #Oscars In Memoriam montage, here you go’; ‘Most poorly staged, directed, and produced In Memoriam segment ever. The people we lost were an afterthought. #Oscar #oscars #Oscar2024 #Oscars2024’

‘congrats! You win the award for the most disrespectful and worst in memoriam! you did nothing to honor those who passed. you focused on music and dancers. Wrong!’; 

‘When did these In Memoriam segments become production numbers? Totally disrespectful to those we’ve lost. Shame on you @TheAcademy! #Oscars #Oscars #oscars’.

The annual segment was set to a new version of Andrea Bocelli ‘s classic song Time to Say Goodbye, which he sung on stage with his son Matteo

Viewers struggled to read the names of those we have lost and claimed the dancers on stage were a ‘distraction’ 

Viewers rushed to X/Twitter to blast the segment for prioritising the performance over the tribute itself 

As well as during the televised portion, the Academy honoured those lost on their website. Yet not everyone made the cut.  

Somers passed away in October 2023 in her Palm Springs, California home from breast cancer, which had recently returned.

She also started her career on the big screen with small roles in Bullitt, American Graffiti and Magnum Force, before she became a household name on Three’s Company, which ran for 100 episodes between 1977 to 1981.

She also appeared in movies such as Serial Mom before returning to the small screen with Step By Step, which ran for seven seasons for 164 episodes from 1991 to 1998. 

Euphoria star Cloud died from an ‘accidental overdose’ of cocaine, meth and fentanyl last summer. 

The 25-year-old was found unresponsive in his family home in Oakland, California, on July 31, and pronounced dead on the scene by responders.

Cloud was discovered by Euphoria casting director Jennifer Venditti while working as a waiter in Brooklyn, which lead to him making his acting debut on the HBO series as the drug dealer Fezco.

He would go on to star in movies such as North Hollywood with Vince Vaughn and Miranda Cosgrove and The Line with Alex Wolff and Halle Bailey, with three more films either filming or in post-production.

Lance Reddick was not included in the segment. He passed away in March 2023 from heart disease at just 60 years of age, just five days after the 2023 Oscars (pictured 2014) 

Ron Cephas Jones passed at 66 from a long-term pulmonary issue he had, and while he was best known for the hit TV series This Is Us, he also appeared in movie Dolemite Is My Name

Burt Young was best known for playing Rocky Balboa’s brother Paulie in the Rocky film series, having passed away in October 2023 at 83 from cardiac arrest

Norman Lear was a legendary TV creator of All in the Family and Sanford and Son, but he also wrote movies like Divorce American Style, The Night They Raided Minsky’s and Cold Turkey

Reddick passed away in March 2023 from heart disease at just 60 years of age, just five days after the 2023 Oscars.

While Reddick is best known for his work on the small screen in shows like Oz, The Wire, Fringe and Bosch, he was no stranger to the big screen either.

Reddick played Charon, the concierce at the Continental Hotel in the John Wick film series, and other notable movies include White House Down, Oldboy and The Guest.

Cephas Jones passed at 66 from a long-term pulmonary issue he had, and while he was best known for the hit TV series This Is Us, he also appeared in movies Dolemite Is My Name, Across the Universe and Half Nelson.

Young was best known for playing Rocky Balboa’s brother Paulie in the Rocky film series, having passed away in October 2023 aged 83 from cardiac arrest.

Lear was a legendary TV creator of All in the Family and Sanford and Son, but he also wrote movies like Divorce American Style, The Night They Raided Minsky’s and Cold Turkey.

JEDDAH, Saudi Arabia – Christian Horner believes it is time to “move on” and put the focus back on Formula 1 on-track action, saying this is “the place where the spotlight should be to stand.”

But amid the ongoing aftermath of the allegations against the Red Bull Racing team boss of inappropriate behavior and further off-track controversy over the FIA, the sport remains under a cloud.

Horner was speaking at the FIA ​​press conference ahead of this weekend’s Saudi Arabian Grand Prix on Thursday, just hours after it emerged that Red Bull Racing had suspended pay for the female complainant who made the allegations.

The complaint against Horner was dismissed following an investigation conducted by a King’s Counsel (KC), an independent investigator. According to a person briefed on the matter who spoke on condition of anonymity, the complainant’s suspension is related to the findings of the investigation.

Requested by The Athletics Regarding the suspension, Horner said he “cannot comment on anything confidential between an employee and a company.”

The “move on” comment came during a 30-minute press conference dominated by questions to Horner, who said: “Now is the time to look ahead and draw a line under it.” He said it was a “very difficult” period for him and his family, who he said needed to put an end to the “burglary”. (Horner’s marriage to Geri Halliwell-Horner, a former member of the Spice Girls, has led to increased media attention, especially in Britain.)

Horner acknowledged that a series of anonymously leaked messages, allegedly sent between him and the complainant, that emerged last week had “gained a lot of attention.” (Last week he declined to comment on what he called “anonymous, speculative reports from an unknown source.”)

“It’s all very much in one direction,” Horner said. “What happened next is that others tried to take advantage of that. Unfortunately Formula 1 is a competitive business and it seems elements have taken advantage of that. That is perhaps the less attractive side of our industry.”

A recurring question on the matter focused on Red Bull’s lack of transparency and detail, something highlighted last week by two of Horner’s rival F1 team bosses, Mercedes’ Toto Wolff and McLaren’s Zak Brown. “I believe that as a global sport strives to address such crucial issues, more transparency is needed,” Wolff said. “I wonder what the position of the sport is.”

Announcing the outcome of the investigation, Red Bull GmbH, the parent company of Red Bull Racing, said the report was “confidential” and that it “would not comment further out of respect for all involved.” It means that details of the allegations and the grounds on which the complaint was dismissed remain unknown.

Horner emphasized that confidentiality when asked about the need for transparency, especially given the subject in an era when F1 has pushed for improved inclusivity and has seen an influx of new, young female fans.

Horner called it a “complicated issue” before noting that it was an internal matter at Red Bull and that the process was “confidential between the individuals and the company itself.”

“Unfortunately, I don’t have the freedom, because of that confidentiality, and out of respect for the company and of course the other party, that we are all subject to the same restrictions,” Horner said. “So even if I wanted to talk about it, I can’t because of those confidentiality restrictions.”

He said it was “not an FIA problem” and “not a Formula 1 problem” but a “company-employee problem, and that would be the same in any large organisation.”

The FIA, F1’s regulator, has shown no sign of involvement in the matter. While FIA ​​president Mohammed Ben Sulayem told the Financial Times in Bahrain last week that this situation was “damaging the sport”, he also said he did not want to “walk the talk” and initiate some investigation through compliance – or FIA ethics. department.

Thursday, when The Athletics approached the FIA ​​for comment on Red Bull’s decision. A spokesperson said they were surprised to be asked about what they called “a team employment issue” and suggested instead that F1 be contacted. A spokesperson for F1 itself declined to comment.

The FIA, meanwhile, has its own problems. The compliance department is investigating the president, Ben Sulayem, following allegations that he meddled in the outcome of last year’s Saudi Arabian GP, ​​as first reported by BBC Sport. The FIA ​​said it had “received a report detailing possible allegations involving certain members of its governing bodies” and that it was “assessing the concerns”.

BBC Sport subsequently reported that Ben Sulayem was also under investigation because he allegedly wanted to prevent the certification of the circuit in Las Vegas. An FIA spokesperson said that “from a sporting and safety perspective, the approval of the Las Vegas circuit followed FIA protocol in terms of inspection and certification. “If you recall, there was a delay in making the circuit available for inspection due to ongoing construction work by the local organiser.” The same spokesperson also highlighted an interview Ben Sulayem gave to GP Racing magazine last November, in which he expressed his support for green-lighting the track layout in Las Vegas.

All four team leaders at Thursday’s press conference – Horner and Krack were joined by Williams’ James Vowles and Alpine’s Bruno Famin – were asked about the investigation into the FIA ​​president. Famin said we have to focus on what’s happening on the track. Krack said that from Aston Martin’s point of view the matter was “clear and concluded”. Vowles said he was glad a process had been put in place, and “as I understand it, it is being reviewed, which is the right thing.”

The investigation marks the latest in a long line of controversies involving the FIA ​​president. But Horner urged people not to “get ahead of the facts”.

“There needs to be an investigation,” Horner said. “And I am sure that the relevant parties, and here again the process they have within the FIA ​​statutes, will be followed.

“The only thing I want to encourage is: don’t judge ahead of time. Wait for the facts. First wait to see what the reality is before you come to a judgement.”

As much as Horner wants the focus in F1 to be on ‘getting on the track and going racing’, the ongoing unrest is having a bad reflection on the sport. There is no escape from that. Over the past three weeks we have not only reached the back page of the newspapers, but also the front pages. People talk about F1 for reasons the sport doesn’t want.

“It definitely doesn’t look good to the outside world, from the outside looking in,” Lewis Hamilton said on Wednesday. “It is a very, very important moment for the sport to demonstrate and uphold their values ​​and hold ourselves accountable for our actions.” He called it a “really, really pivotal moment” for F1, because of the message it sends to the rest of the world.

“I hope it doesn’t become a year where this continues,” Hamilton said. “It highlights some of the issues we have in sport too, when we talk about diversity and inclusivity, which includes gender, for example, and it’s crucial that people feel comfortable in this environment. And that is clearly not the case.”

Horner is right when he says that the on-track action is “the place where the spotlight should be” for F1. But as long as these questions and doubts persist, the spotlight will remain elsewhere.

Prior to his death, Angus Cloud made a splash in Hollywood after his breakthrough role as Fezco in the hit series Euphoria.

After the HBO drama premiered in 2019, Cloud went on to star in the films North Hollywood And The line and packaged recordings for several other projects. He also brought his acting skills to music videos for Juice WRLD, Becky G And Carol G.

Cloud died in July 2023 at the age of 25. We weekly confirmed in September that Cloud's cause of death was acute intoxication following an accidental overdose.

“It is with the deepest hearts that we had to say goodbye to an incredible human being today. As an artist, friend, brother and son, Angus was special to all of us in so many ways,” the star's family said in a statement at the time.

Cloud's family further stated that they hope his passing will “serve as a reminder” to those struggling with mental health issues “that they are not alone and should not have to fight this in silence on their own.”

'Euphoria'

although Euphoria season 3 was postponed until 2025 due to the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, Cloud was seemingly expected to return as Fezco for the series' third installment. His character ended season 2 on a somber note, as Fezco's younger adoptive brother, Ashtray (Javon Walton), was killed after fighting back against a SWAT team that infiltrated their home. During the season, Fezco also developed a sweet romance with Maude Apatow's Lexi Howard, although his brother's death caused him to miss the premiere of her school play.

No details have been revealed about how the series will handle Cloud's death or Fezco's fate.

I had a feeling it might be the skylight.

And it was.

Every time we travel as a family, I always ask them – my partner and six-year-old daughter – what their favorite moments were.

After checking out of L’and Vineyards, a 32-suite, 3,000-square-foot Relais & Chateaux retreat southwest of Lisbon in the Alentejo region, my daughter handed over the controls for the remote-controlled cover for the skylight above our enormous double bed as the award-winning moment in time.

The idea behind the feature is to allow guests to look at the stars in bed.

Vine and dandy: L’and is a vineyard hotel, which makes its own very impressive wine and offers a range of wine-based activities

They were sadly absent during our rainy visit in October, but said she didn’t care once she realized she could press a button and make something move back and forth.

Meanwhile, we parents enjoyed the way the skylight flooded the room with light during the day. And a whole range of other facets of this attractive building.

There was the vastness of the bedroom, with its Scandinavian-chic decor and chic bathroom; the enchanting black slate indoor pool and the beautiful outdoor pool; the striking, whitewashed modernist architecture of Lisbon-based studio Promontório; the exemplary service and the excellent cuisine.

Ted and his family were put up in a luxury double room (upstairs), which had a skylight for stargazing at night and flooded the room with light during the day.

Sip, sip, hurray: Ted enjoyed ‘the pure tranquility of L’and, with its rows of vineyards, olive groves and small lake’

We also enjoyed the pure tranquility of L’and, with its rows of vineyards, olive groves and a small lake.

And then of course there was the wine. After all, L’and is a vineyard hotel, which makes its own very impressive wine and offers a range of wine-based activities.

We took part in a ‘make your own wine’ experience with L’and’s expert head sommelier, Goncalo Mendes. In the hotel’s sophisticated tasting room, I competed against my other half in a competition to blend L’and wines made from Alicante, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional grapes into a personalized version.

After a blind taste test, I was declared the (narrow) winner, with my winning blend professionally bottled and corked in the hotel winery – a lovely gesture.

The drive to the hotel was a thrill for Ted, as he had to cross the 17km Vasco da Gama Bridge (above).

A tour of the nearby historic town of Evora (above) is one of the activities L’and offers to its guests

Other attractive activities offered by the hotel include a visit to the hilltop citadel at Montemor-o-Novo – a national monument dating back to the 13th century; a hot air balloon ride; stargazing in the Alentejo Dark Sky Reserve; and tours of the nearby historic city of Evora. Classified as a cultural heritage site by UNESCO, the settlement is surrounded by a ring of medieval walls, houses a Roman temple and is crowned by an imposing cathedral.

Even if you don’t do any of these, you’ll get a kick out of driving (or being driven) to the property from Lisbon airport, as both routes take you over incredible bridges – aka the 17km Vasco da Gama Bridge or the Golden Gate-style Ponte 25 de Abril.

We messed around on the first one on the way out and the last one on the way back. Both were impressed: striking bookends for a property that, with or without stars, is a great option for a relaxing holiday.

• Rare rainbow cloud spotted
• Residents of Perth

Stunning photos have captured a rarely seen ‘rainbow cloud’ over a small farming community.

The colorful cloud appeared over Goomalling, about 130 km northwest of Perth in Western Australia, on Tuesday morning.

Jenni Shaw, a local resident of Goomalling, said everyone was ‘awed’ by the incredible spectacle.

“It was beautiful,” she told ABC News.

The amazing cloud delighted the residents of the small farming community

The clouds themselves are not rare, but they appear and disappear so quickly that they are rarely photographed

“But we were kind of like, ‘Why is that? Should we still look outside or not?’

The incredible sight on an otherwise clear, sunny day proved that if you want the rainbow, you don’t necessarily have to put up with the rain.

Rainbow clouds, more commonly known as iridescent clouds, form when tiny water droplets or tiny ice crystals scatter the sun’s light through a process called diffraction.

Although the clouds themselves are not too rare, they are difficult to spot and photograph because they usually last for a very short time or appear very high in the sky.

This amazing natural phenomenon was observed over Goomalling, about 130 kilometers northwest of Perth

The happy locals said it was not the first time they had seen the unusual clouds in the area.

“I’ve seen clouds like this a few times in my travels, mostly in the Wheatbelt,” Jill Lefroy wrote on Facebook.

‘Pretty amazing to see a rainbow without rain!’
