The Insult – First Lebanese Movie to Get An Academy Award Nomination

By on January 23, 2018 in Movies

Lebanese director Ziad Doueiri just earned today an academy award nomination for his movie “The Insult” in the Foreign Language Film category! This is big news for us because it is the first movie to ever get an official Oscar nomination since Lebanon started submitting films to the Academy Awards in 1978, and will compete with four other submissions from Russia, Chile, Hungary and Sweden.

Ziad Doueiri stirred much controversy a while ago by the way when he filmed a previous movie, The Attack, in Israel. However, I noticed that almost everybody seemed to agree on praising “The Insult” regardless of their stance on Doueiri and his political views, so I really hope it manages to clinch the trophy!

The Oscars will air on Sunday March 4th on ABC Network and Jimmy Kimmel is once again hosting the event this year. You can check the full list of nominees for all categories here.

Tamanna making wishes come true

This isn’t the first time Tamanna grants a wish for a critically ill kid, and I’ve actually loved each and every video they’ve published so far, but this is the first time I get really moved by one of their videos. Not because of how good the whole thing was executed, but because I have a kid now and I know how awful it feels for parents when their children get sick, even if it was as simple as a stupid flu virus.

The job that Tamanna are doing is absolutely awesome for children suffering from life threatening illnesses. Parents will usually be ready to sacrifice everything in order to see their kids getting better, and Tamanna is going the extra mile for them by drawing a smile on these kids faces and fulfilling their wishes.

The video below is of Ghassan, a 5 year-old cancer survivor, who wished to star in an action packed movie.

Needless to say, Tamanna is one of the organizations that deserves to be donated to, and you can do so by going to their donations page here.

I’ve been hearing for a while now about Adel Karam preparing for a new show of his own which will be quite similar to Bassem Youssef’s Al Bernameg, and it looks like it will start airing very soon since Adel Karam released the below teaser today on his Facebook account.

It better be really really good since people won’t help but compare it to Al Bernameg, and we all know Bassem Youssef has set the bar really high.
