    Analysis of the digital conversation for the 2018 ACADEMY AWARDS March, 2018 CONTEXT ACADEMY AWARDS, 2018 On March 4th, 2018, we had the 90th Oscar Ceremony, a prize given by the AMPAS to the crème of the crop in movies, recognizing their excellence in the industries’ professionals, and is considered the greatest honor in movies worldwide. 4 THE AWARDS: THE PRIDE OF MEXICO Lately, it has become common to see Mexicans participating of the Oscars. During Oscar’s 86, 87 & 88, a Mexican took 2 statues, both as best director & best movie. This is why this year it is not surprising to see Mexico’s participation, however, we had never seen such a Mexican delivery as this one. Last year, the current president of the US, Donald Trump. While being sworn in said he would put up a wall between the US and Mexico so as to avoid immigration by illegal aliens from Lat Am; stemming from this fact and others, such as the renegotiation of NAFTA the relationship between countries has suffered. This situation has generated a friction between countries, yet, “The Academy” has shown to be against these remarks and has done so in every ceremony appealing to equality and inclusion for all cultures, preferences and genders. 5 DONALD TRUMP VS. MÉXICO After the 87th Academy awards, when Mexican national “Alejandro González Iñarritu” was awarded with 3 Oscars for his film “Birdman”, current US president “Donald Trump” tweeted a series of messages of disapproval: 6 THE MOST MEXICAN ACADEMY AWARDS On the 90th Academy Awards Mexico was more present than ever: “Coco” a Disney Pixar film centered on the Mexican The shape of water, written and directed by tradition of the day of the dead was nominated filmmaker Guillermo del Toro was nominated and awarded as best animated movie & best to 14 awards of which it got 4.

  • Victoria Beckham: Coming to America
    ENTERTAINMENT ON IMPARJA IN 2018 EMBARGO: 6PM OCTOCBER 11, 2017 IMPARJA is ENTERTAINMENT, with The Block currently on air celebrating its 13th series and showing no signs of slowing down, with audiences up 20 per cent on 2016. The year started with a stripped series of Married at First Sight which proved to be a smash hit with TV viewers and one of the most highly streamed programs since OzTAM introduced its video player measurement (VPM) system. Imparja has continued to roll out top-rating programs including The Voice, as well as a slew of brand new formats that have all performed exceptionally well, such as Travel Guides, True Story with Hamish & Andy and This Time Next Year. But the breakout hit of 2017 was Australian Ninja Warrior, which broke ratings records and holds the title of the No. 1 non-sports program of the year. And still to come this year is Family Food Fight, Imparja’s brand new cooking show, showcasing the very best in home cooking. Six food-loving Aussie families will go head-to-head in the kitchen in a battle to prove whose food is best, but only one can walk away with the title of Australia’s Number One Food Family. Our contestants will cook a range of family staples and all-time favourite feasts. They will all cook the food we love to eat at home. They’ll also be catering for special occasions, feeding an array of guests, and recreating tried and true recipes from some of Australia’s best chefs. Acclaimed chef and restaurateur Matt Moran is Family Food Fight’s lead judge, assisted by high-energy, mohawked uber-pastry chef Anna Polyviou and popular foodie and cookbook author Hayden Quinn.

  • An Academic Report Examining the Theory of Creativity and Innovation and How It Could Be Applied to a Sector of the Events Industry of Your Choosing
    An academic report examining the theory of creativity and innovation and how it could be applied to a sector of the events industry of your choosing. Caitlin Davies Introduction Events in the film and television industry are used as a marketing tool within the advertising and distribution stages before general release (Kerrigan, 2017). It has become paramount within the industry to survive the 21st Century global marketplace (Berry et al., 2006; Shalley et al., 2009; Arvidsson & Niessen, 2015; Pike, 2011) and economy, whilst also staying highly competitive. As a result, there is now the need for organisations to invest in redefining basic marketing strategies and ways of thinking (Lei & Slocum, 2002), such as strategies through creativity and innovation (Woodman et al., 1993; Chen et al., 2011; Mehta et al., 2014), to keep up with global competition, solve organisational problems (McMullan & Shepherd, 2006) and sustain their position in the market (Grant, 1996). Katzell (1994) describes these organisational changes as necessary due to ever changing factors such as technology, the economy, politics, social and corporate differences. Through the development and introduction of creative and innovative products and services within the film and television industry, organisations can ensure the satisfaction with the end market consumers and gain a competitive advantage (Liu & Atuahene-Gima, 2016) leading to increased ratings, viewership and sales. For an organisation to do this, consideration must go beyond today’s competitive processes to become one of continuous development (Kao, 1997; Tether, 2003; Scarborough & Zimmerer, 2005; Duverger, 2012), with the focus being on creativity and innovation for the future (Hamel & Prahalad, 1991).

  • 90Th Academy Awards Special Rules for the Short Film Awards
    90TH ACADEMY AWARDS SPECIAL RULES FOR THE SHORT FILM AWARDS I. DEFINITIONS A. A short film is defined as an original motion picture that has a running time of 40 minutes or less, including all credits. B. This excludes from consideration such works as: 1. previews and advertising films 2. sequences from feature-length films, such as credit sequences 3. unaired episodes of established TV series 4. unsold TV series pilots II. CATEGORIES An award shall be given for the best achievement in each of two categories. A. Animated Short Film An animated film is defined as a motion picture in which movement and characters’ performances are created using a frame-by-frame technique, and usually falls into one of the two general fields of animation: narrative or abstract. Some of the techniques of animating films include but are not limited to hand-drawn animation, computer animation, stop-motion, clay animation, pixilation, cutout animation, pinscreen, camera multiple pass imagery, kaleidoscopic effects created frame-by-frame, and drawing on the film frame itself. Motion capture and real-time puppetry are not by themselves animation techniques. An animated short has a running time of 40 minutes or less. An animated feature film has a running time of more than 40 minutes. In an animated film, animation must figure in no less than 75 percent of the picture's running time. In addition, a narrative animated film must have a significant number of the major characters animated. If the picture is created in a cinematic style that could be mistaken for live action, the filmmaker(s) must also submit information supporting how and why the picture is substantially a work of animation rather than live action.
