  • Oscar Fever: Emma Stone, Bradley Cooper, Christopher Nolan, and More Vie for Multiple Oscars

    The 96th Academy Awards are just around the corner, and this year, the spotlight shines especially bright on some of Hollywood’s most talented individuals. While a single Oscar nomination is a huge honor, these multi-hyphenates have managed to snag not one, but two nods for their incredible work! So, mark your calendars and fire up Disney+ Philippines on March 11, because you won’t want to miss this star-studded ceremony.

    Disney Oscars

    BRADLEY COOPER (3 nominations)

    Leading the pack is Bradley Cooper, a true triple threat this awards season. The 49-year-old actor joins an exclusive club with his nominations for Best Actor, Best Picture, and Best Original Screenplay for his work on “Maestro.” Not only did he deliver a powerful performance, but Cooper also stepped behind the camera to direct and co-write the film, solidifying his place as a major force in Hollywood. Fun fact? Cooper becomes only the fourth person in Oscar history to achieve this directing and acting feat for more than one movie!

    CHRISTOPHER NOLAN (3 nominations)

    Joining Cooper in the multi-nominated director’s circle is Christopher Nolan, the visionary mind behind “Oppenheimer.” Nolan’s dedication to his craft shines through his nominations for Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Picture. Meanwhile, Yorgos Lanthimos, director of the captivating “Poor Things,” earns recognition for both Best Director and Best Picture. Martin Scorsese, a legend in his own right, nabs two nominations for “Killers of the Flower Moon” – Best Director and Best Picture.

    Disney Oscars 2.1

    EMMA STONE (2 nominations)

    Emma Stone shines with a Best Actress nomination for her role in Poor Things and a nod as one of the film’s producers for Best Picture. At just 35, Stone mirrors the achievement of Frances McDormand, being the second woman nominated for acting and Best Picture for the same film. Stone’s versatility and dedication to her craft have firmly established her as one of Hollywood’s most talented and respected actresses.

    Disney Oscars 2.2

    YORGOS LANTHIMOS & MARTIN SCORSESE (2 nominations)

    Yorgos Lanthimos and Martin Scorsese, both powerhouses in directing, find themselves with dual nominations. Lanthimos for Poor Things and Scorsese for Killers of the Flower Moon, both are in the running for Best Director and under Best Picture nominations. Their unique storytelling and visionary direction have once again set the bar high for cinematic excellence.

    CORD JEFFERSON & JUSTINE TRIET (2 nominations)

    Cord Jefferson (American Fiction) and Justine Triet (Anatomy of a Fall) each earned dual nominations, showcasing their exceptional skills in storytelling and direction. American Fiction’s Cord Jefferson is nominated for Best Picture and Best Adapted Screenplay. Justine Triet, the French filmmaker behind Anatomy of a Fall, earned nominations for Best Original Screenplay and Best Director for her work on the film starring Sandra Hüller. Triet’s nomination for Best Director marks the ninth time a woman received recognition in the category.

    JONATHAN GLAZER (2 nominations)

    Jonathan Glazer received Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay nominations for The Zone of Interest.

    TOM OZANICH & DEAN ZUPANCIC (2 nominations)

    Meanwhile, in the realm of auditory brilliance, Tom Ozanich and Dean Zupancic stand out with double nominations in Best Sound for their work on Maestro and The Creator, proving that great films are not just seen, but also felt through sound.

    Disney Oscars 2.3

  • Unveiling BTS’ Legacy: A Glimpse into ‘BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star’

    “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star“ has arrived on Disney+, offering an unprecedented look into the remarkable ten-year journey of BTS. From their humble beginnings to becoming global superstars, this docuseries promises to deliver an intimate, raw, and honest portrayal of the septet’s rise to fame.

    Here are some things ARMY can’t wait to see in BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star.

    Why ARMY Can’t Wait: Top 7 Moments to Anticipate

    1. Behind-the-Scenes Dance Practices:
    Witness BTS in their element with extensive practice footage, potentially including rare pre-debut clips.  With a decade in the industry, BTS naturally have tons of footage hidden in their vault. Based on the teasers released for BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, we’re definitely getting more practice videos — maybe even some pre-debut content!

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 1

    2. Cherished Graduations:
    Get a glimpse into the members’ graduation ceremonies, with special focus on RM, and possibly others. Most ARMYs are familiar with Jung Kook’s graduation ceremony Bangtan Bomb where all the members of BTS were present. 

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 2 1
    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 3 1

    3. Early Showcases:
    Relive BTS’ roots through clips from their early, more intimate performances. Before BTS sold out huge stadiums and flew to different countries worldwide, the members used to perform at small shows and meet a handful of fans. Often, they had to catch quick naps in a tiny car while hopping from event to event around South Korea. Thanks to BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star, ARMY will get to see more clips from those simple days.

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 4

    4. Life in the Old Dorm:
    Explore BTS’ shared experiences in their first dorm, with exclusive footage offering a peek into their early days. In their early years, all 7 members of BTS shared one tiny room measuring 17 tsubo or pyeong (which is merely around 56 square meters). It’s all too familiar and nostalgic for ARMY — it’s where BTS celebrated their 1st debut anniversary. There aren’t a lot of videos from that era, but it seems they’ll be releasing never-before-seen footage based on a trailer clip of RM and V playing with a game console at their old dorm

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 5

    5. The Stories Behind Selfies:
    Delve into the anecdotes behind iconic BTS selfies, including a special feature on a viral selfie by Jimin. BTS members love sharing group photos and selfies with their fans, as proven by the overabundance of content on their social media accounts. As a way to connect with ARMY, BTS often tell the story behind the photos they upload. This time, fans might get actual footage from behind the scenes of some photos! In one scene from the trailer, Jimin explains to the camera how he ended up taking a viral selfie he posted in 2013.

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 6 1

    6. Exclusive 2013 Fan Meeting:
    Anticipate potentially unseen footage from a unique fan meeting held in 2013, a much-awaited treat for fans. BTS held a small fan meeting for a joint celebration of Christmas and the birthdays of Jin and V. Fans couldn’t bring cameras to the event, but BigHit did film the event, yet footage remains elusive. While the trailers released so far didn’t show a hint of this event, many ARMYs (including us!) are hoping HYBE and BigHit will finally show the world actual clips from this event.

    7. Lockdown Reflections:
    Experience the emotional struggles and triumphs of BTS during the COVID-19 lockdown, a period that challenged but also showcased their resilience. To the rest of the world, BTS provided a much-needed light and life during the COVID-19 pandemic with their inspiring and upbeat songs “Dynamite”, “Life Goes On”, “Butter”, and “Permission to Dance”. But ARMYs would know how difficult that time was for the members due to the cancellation of the “Map of the Soul Tour” and the difficulty of performing in front of their fans, especially at the height of their careers. The footage from that era might make fans cry, but ARMY will surely tune in even with tears blurring their vision.

    BTS Monuments Beyond The Star 7

    A Must-Watch for Every ARMY

    Catch this stirring docuseries on Disney+ and embark on a journey with BTS, experiencing their growth, challenges, and triumphs. “BTS Monuments: Beyond The Star” is more than a series; it’s a celebration of an era, a testament to BTS’ enduring legacy, and a heartfelt tribute to the unwavering support of the ARMY.
