Why babies now could face brain damage at the health trust that sacked whistleblower obstetrician Mr Martyn Pitman

Dr Martyn Pitman Thousands of followers of this website may remember last year’s nine blog coverage I gave to the employment tribunal over the sacking of whistleblower Mr Martyn Pitman at Hampshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust (HHFT). He lost the hearing. He was belittled and and repeatedly insulted  by the former head of chambers, Mark Sutton of Old Square Chambers, including calling him a…

*SNEAK PEEK CHAPTER 3*

Here’s a sneak peek of chapter 3 of

In Wildest Dreams

Boy oh boy I’m so excited about this chapter! 🥹

——-

“Well, well, my eyes may deceive me.”

Alex’s blood ran cold. This could only mean one thing.

“Alexandra, the Countess of Sussex… is that you? I heard the rumors you ran off on your fiancé but I didn’t believe them to be true. Yet here you are. Your father must be livid.”

Alex raised Spencer’s rifle out of rage at this man she didn’t know outwardly speculating about her life. “My life is none of your business,” she shouted from her place on the porch. Surely someone would come up from the barn upon seeing this man’s car. Right?

“Dragging your family’s honor through the mud? Ending up here, on this ranch in the middle of Montana, brandishing a gun in my face like some kind of brazen feral woman? Oh this is far too good to be anything but my business.” He snarled, like a Doberman would at an intruder. Except he was the intruder. And she was his prey. He took a few steps forward. “Why don’t we have a tea and a chat? I think you’ve gotten yourself lost…”

Alex took three large steps toward the edge of the porch, her once shaky hands strong now on the gun. “You will leave this property before I put this rifle to some good.”

“Oh darling,” his smile was wicked, “I can think of plenty ways to put that—“

The sound of galloping hooves brought everyone’s attention to the west. Finally, she thought, someone was here.

But it wasn’t just someone. She almost dropped the rifle in shock.

“Get the hell off my property.”

Spencer Dutton put his horse between her and Donald Whitfield as he pointed a pistol between Whitfield’s eyes.

Alex was too busy staring in disbelief to hear Donald’s laugh, “Oh the prodigal son returns. How fitting.”

“Don’t make me ask you again.”

Someone help me.

I just watched the finale of 1923 and I’m just sad for so many different reasons! 😭

1. I wanted more interaction between Spencer and his aunt and uncle! I wanted to see them working together and see sweet little candid moments between Spencer and his beloved aunt!

2. As much as Alex drove me nuts when she first popped up, I was so sad to see her end up dying. They FINALLY got to see each other again after all the bull crap they were made to go through only for her to end up dying because the people decided to drive after they were told they wouldn’t make it by someone who actually knew what they were talking about…

3. Teonna Rainwater…got off and just sort of wandered away. I’m glad she did get off because what happened to her and those other girls was absolutely horrible.

4. Whitfield should have suffered so much more. Evil bastard. Glad his crazy prostitute got got as well.

5. And what about Zane’s family? Last we heard, they went to hide in the basement. Never saw them after that. And what about the sheriff? Did he make it off of the train alive? Did I just miss all of this?

6. Still hate that Jack got his stupid ass offed. He should have just stayed put!

7. I wanted to see a little glimpse into the life of Spencer and John II.

B-13 : Oscars 2025 Predictions - A Film Fan’s Take

The 97th Academy Awards, also known as The Oscars®, will take place on March 3rd at 4:30 AM IST, as the excitement of the awards season is reaching its peak.

2024 has been a rather disappointing year for cinema—at least since I’ve been seriously following it. Many highly anticipated films failed to leave a lasting impact, making this year feel underwhelming. Hopefully, 2025 will bring a stronger slate of films, delivering multiple hits and unforgettable cinematic moments. I’d also like to mention that most of my predictions are likely to go wrong—this year’s race just hasn’t been that exciting.

2024 was also a year of sequels, with long-awaited follow-ups to classics like Dune: Part Two, Beetlejuice Beetlejuice, Joker: Folie à Deux, and Gladiator II hitting the big screen.

Now, with less than 24 hours until the ceremony, let’s dive into the major categories and my predictions for the winners. These are based on industry trends, results from other major awards (like the Golden Globes, BAFTAs, Critics’ Choice, and Guild awards), and, of course, my personal take.

So sit back and stay with me till the end!

P.S. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Best Picture

Nominees:

Anora – Alex Coco, Samantha Quan, and Sean Baker, producers

The Brutalist – Nick Gordon, Brian Young, Andrew Morrison, D.J. Gugenheim, and Brady Corbet, producers

A Complete Unknown – Fred Berger, James Mangold, and Alex Heineman, producers

Conclave – Tessa Ross, Juliette Howell, and Michael A. Jackman, producers

Dune: Part Two – Mary Parent, Cale Boyter, Tanya Lapointe, and Denis Villeneuve, producers

Emilia Pérez – Pascal Caucheteux and Jacques Audiard, producers

I'm Still Here – Maria Carlota Bruno and Rodrigo Teixeira, producers

Nickel Boys – Dede Gardner, Jeremy Kleiner, and Joslyn Barnes, producers

The Substance – Coralie Fargeat, Tim Bevan, and Eric Fellner, producers

Wicked – Marc Platt, producer

Prediction(s): Anora / The Brutalist / Conclave

The Academy might favor The Brutalist, a film about accomplishing the American dream. However, Conclave, a political film involving the church, and Anora, a Cinderella story about a New York stripper and Palme d’Or winner, are strong contenders too.

Best Director

Nominees:

Sean Baker – Anora

Brady Corbet – The Brutalist

James Mangold – A Complete Unknown

Jacques Audiard – Emilia Pérez

Coralie Fargeat – The Substance

Prediction(s): Sean Baker / Brady Corbet

Palme d’Or winner Sean Baker faces strong competition from Corbet, who has received multiple wins at award ceremonies this year.

Best Actor

Nominees:

Adrien Brody – The Brutalist as László Tóth

Timothée Chalamet – A Complete Unknown as Bob Dylan

Colman Domingo – Sing Sing as John "Divine G" Whitfield

Ralph Fiennes – Conclave as Cardinal Thomas Lawrence

Sebastian Stan – The Apprentice as Donald Trump

Prediction(s): Adrien Brody / Timothée Chalamet

Brody, a Golden Globe winner, plays a man chasing the American dream, while SAG winner Chalamet portrays the poetic genius Bob Dylan. While Brody is the frontrunner, Chalamet cannot be ruled out.

Best Actress

Nominees:

Cynthia Erivo – Wicked as Elphaba Thropp

Karla Sofía Gascón – Emilia Pérez as Emilia Pérez / Juan "Manitas" Del Monte

Mikey Madison – Anora as Anora "Ani" Mikheeva

Demi Moore – The Substance as Elisabeth Sparkle

Fernanda Torres – I'm Still Here as Eunice Paiva

Prediction(s): Demi Moore / Fernanda Torres

Both actresses, who won Golden Globes this year, have delivered career-defining performances. However, Moore appears to have the edge.

Best Supporting Actor

Nominees:

Yura Borisov – Anora as Igor

Kieran Culkin – A Real Pain as Benji Kaplan

Edward Norton – A Complete Unknown as Pete Seeger

Guy Pearce – The Brutalist as Harrison Lee Van Buren Sr.

Jeremy Strong – The Apprentice as Roy Cohn

Prediction: Kieran Culkin

Culkin, brother of Home Alone’s Macaulay Culkin, delivers a standout performance as a free-spirited man unafraid to express himself.

Best Supporting Actress

Nominees:

Monica Barbaro – A Complete Unknown as Joan Baez

Ariana Grande – Wicked as Galinda "Glinda" Upland

Felicity Jones – The Brutalist as Erzsébet Tóth

Isabella Rossellini – Conclave as Sister Agnes

Zoe Saldaña – Emilia Pérez as Rita Mora Castro

Prediction: Zoe Saldaña

While I didn’t enjoy Emilia Pérez as much as others, Saldaña was the highlight. Having swept key awards, she is the undeniable favorite.

Best Original Screenplay

Nominees:

Anora – Sean Baker

The Brutalist – Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold

A Real Pain – Jesse Eisenberg

September 5 – Moritz Binder and Tim Fehlbaum; co-written by Alex David

The Substance – Coralie Fargeat

Prediction(s): Anora/A Real Pain

While the former is this year's Palme d'Or winner, the latter has won numerous accolades. The competition seems tough in this category.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Nominees:

A Complete Unknown – James Mangold and Jay Cocks; based on the book Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald

Conclave – Peter Straughan; based on the novel by Robert Harris

Emilia Pérez – Jacques Audiard; in collaboration with Thomas Bidegain, Léa Mysius, and Nicolas Livecchi; based on the opera libretto Emilia Pérez by Jacques Audiard and the novel Écoute by Boris Razon

Nickel Boys – RaMell Ross and Joslyn Barnes; based on the novel The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead

Sing Sing – Screenplay by Greg Kwedar and Clint Bentley; story by Greg Kwedar, Clint Bentley, Clarence Maclin, and John "Divine G" Whitfield; based on the book The Sing Sing Follies by John H. Richardson and the play Breakin' the Mummy's Code by Brent Buell

Prediction: Conclave

There’s been a history of political movies winning in this category – and Conclave shall continue to practice this tradition.

Best Animated Feature

Nominees:

Flow – Gints Zilbalodis, Matīss Kaža, Ron Dyens, and Gregory Zalcman

Inside Out 2 – Kelsey Mann and Mark Nielsen

Memoir of a Snail – Adam Elliot and Liz Kearney

Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl – Nick Park, Merlin Crossingham, and Richard Beek

The Wild Robot – Chris Sanders and Jeff Hermann

Prediction(s): The Wild Robot/Inside Out 2

The former is a beautiful film with a sweet and strong message, this film was a craze across the world. However, the latter’s prequel won an Oscar – hence, a strong contender.

Best International Feature Film

Nominees:

Emilia Pérez (France) in Spanish – directed by Jacques Audiard

Flow (Latvia) – directed by Gints Zilbalodis

The Girl with the Needle (Denmark) in Danish – directed by Magnus von Horn

I'm Still Here (Brazil) in Portuguese – directed by Walter Salles

The Seed of the Sacred Fig (Germany) in Persian – directed by Mohammad Rasoulof

Prediction(s): Emilia Perez/I’m Still Here

The former has separated the favorable critics from the not-so-merciful audience. The critics’ choice win the awards. I personally hope that the latter win.

Best Documentary Feature Film

Nominees:

Black Box Diaries – Shiori Itō, Eric Nyari, and Hanna Aqvilin

No Other Land – Basel Adra, Rachel Szor, Hamdan Ballal, and Yuval Abraham

Porcelain War – Brendan Bellomo, Slava Leontyev, Aniela Sidorska, and Paula DuPré Pesmen

Soundtrack to a Coup d'Etat – Johan Grimonprez, Daan Milius, and Rémi Grellety

Sugarcane –Julian Brave NoiseCat, Emily Kassie, and Kellen Quinn

Prediction(s): No Other Land/Porcelain War

While the former is a work of Palestinian-Israeli collective of four activists amidst the ongoing conflict in the region, the latter is a tale of artists amid the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The Academy favors war documentaries.

Best Documentary Short Film

Nominees:

Death by Numbers – Kim A. Snyder and Janique L. Robillard

I Am Ready, Warden – Smriti Mundhra and Maya Gnyp

Incident – Bill Morrison and Jamie Kalven

Instruments of a Beating Heart – Ema Ryan Yamazaki and Eric Nyari

The Only Girl in the Orchestra – Molly O'Brien and Lisa Remington

Prediction(s): Incident/Instruments of a Beating Heart/The Only Girl in the Orchestra

The first choice is about police brutality and racism – which a multicultural Academy might favor. However, the other options can follow trend of rewarding documentaries about music – like last year’s The Last Repair Shop.

Best Live Action Short Film

Nominees:

A Lien – Sam Cutler-Kreutz and David Cutler-Kreutz

Anuja – Adam J. Graves and Suchitra Mattai

I'm Not a Robot – Victoria Warmerdam and Trent

The Last Ranger – Cindy Lee and Darwin Shaw

The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent – Nebojša Slijepčević and Danijel Pek

Prediction(s): A Lien/The Man Who Could Not Remain Silent

It’s a tough choice between a tale about a family facing the challenges of achieving the American Dream amidst an immigration interview – and the latter being about a man who stands against the ethnic “cleansing” of innocent civilians in Bosnia and Herzegovina in 1993.

Best Animated Short Film

Nominees:

Beautiful Men – Nicolas Keppens and Brecht Van Elslande

In the Shadow of the Cypress – Shirin Sohani and Hossein Molayemi

Magic Candies – Daisuke Nishio and Takashi Washio

Wander to Wonder – Nina Gantz and Stienette Bosklopper

Yuck! – Loïc Espuche and Juliette Marquet

Prediction(s): Yuck!/Magic Candies

While the former contender is about pre-adolescence innocence and the feelings kids have, the latter is a Japanese flick about a young boy coming across loneliness, connection, and self-awareness.

Best Original Score

Nominees:

The Brutalist – Daniel Blumberg

Conclave – Volker Bertelmann

Emilia Pérez – Clément Ducol and Camille

Wicked – John Powell and Stephen Schwartz

The Wild Robot – Kris Bowers

Prediction: The Brutalist

The music of The Brutalist is likely to continue the trend of epic scores winning the trophy – after Dune, All Quiet on the Western Front, and Oppenheimer.

Best Original Song

Nominees:

"El Mal" from Emilia Pérez – Music by Clément Ducol and Camille; lyrics by Clément Ducol, Camille, and Jacques Audiard

"The Journey" from The Six Triple Eight – Music and lyrics by Diane Warren

"Like a Bird" from Sing Sing – Music and lyrics by Abraham Alexander and Adrian Quesada

"Mi Camino" from Emilia Pérez – Music and lyrics by Camille and Clément Ducol

"Never Too Late" from Elton John: Never Too Late – Music and lyrics by Elton John, Brandi Carlile, Andrew Watt, and Bernie Taupin

Prediction: El Mal/Never Too Late

This year’s Golden Globe winner was a Spanish song – hence a possibility. However, the latter comes from the two-time Oscar winner Elton John. The latter might make him a three-time winner.

Best Sound

Nominees:

A Complete Unknown – Tod A. Maitland, Donald Sylvester, Ted Caplan, Paul Massey, and David Giammarco

Dune: Part Two – Gareth John, Richard King, Ron Bartlett, and Doug Hemphill

Emilia Pérez – Erwan Kerzanet, Aymeric Devoldère, Maxence Dussère, Cyril Holtz, and Niels Barletta

Wicked – Simon Hayes, Nancy Nugent Title, Jack Dolman, Andy Nelson, and John Marquis

The Wild Robot – Randy Thom, Brian Chumney, Gary A. Rizzo, and Leff Lefferts

Prediction(s): A Complete Unknown/Dune: Part Two

Sci-fi adventure films are like to win in this category. However, the sound design of the Bob Dylan biopic was also magnificent. It’s a win-win for Timothee Chalamet either way.

Best Production Design

Nominees:

The Brutalist – Production Design: Judy Becker; Set Decoration: Patricia Cuccia

Conclave – Production Design: Suzie Davies; Set Decoration: Cynthia Sleiter

Dune: Part Two – Production Design: Patrice Vermette; Set Decoration: Shane Vieau

Nosferatu – Production Design: Craig Lathrop; Set Decoration: Beatrice Brentnerová

Wicked – Production Design: Nathan Crowley; Set Decoration: Lee Sandales

Prediction(s): Wicked/The Brutalist

Wicked is the film I’m least interested about. However, the Wizard of Oz prequel can win in this category. I’m rooting for The Brutalist due to its architectural theme.

Best Cinematography

Nominees:

The Brutalist – Lol Crawley

Dune: Part Two – Greig Fraser

Emilia Pérez – Paul Guilhaume

Maria – Edward Lachman

Nosferatu – Jarin Blaschke

Prediction(s): The Brutalist

Although I think that Dune: Part Two might win this year, The Brutalist would be the one – due to its stunning framing, composition, and color.

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Nominees:

A Different Man – Mike Marino, David Presto, and Crystal Jurado

Emilia Pérez – Julia Floch Carbonel, Emmanuel Janvier, and Jean-Christophe Spadaccini

Nosferatu – David White, Traci Loader, and Suzanne Stokes-Munton

The Substance – Pierre-Oliver Persin, Stéphanie Guillon, and Marilyne Scarselli

Wicked – Frances Hannon, Laura Blount, and Sarah Nuth

Prediction(s): The Substance/Wicked

Theformer is definitely going to win for make up – as we saw one of the most horrifying looks in recent movies. The latterstands achance – but theodds are not its favor. 

Best Costume Designing

Nominees:

A Complete Unknown – Arianne Phillips

Conclave – Lisy Christl

Gladiator II – Janty Yates and Dave Crossman

Nosferatu – Linda Muir

Wicked – Paul Tazewell

Prediction: Wicked

This can be another win for the fantasy tale.

Best Film Editing

Nominees:

Anora – Sean Baker

The Brutalist – Dávid Jancsó

Conclave – Nick Emerson

Emilia Pérez – Juliette Welfling

Wicked – Myron Kerstein

Prediction: Anora

The film editing of Anora was marvelously rapid in certain scenes – to make up for the pace of the film. This might make Baker the first man to win four awards in a ceremony.

Best Visual Effects

Nominees:

Alien: Romulus – Eric Barba, Nelson Sepulveda-Fauser, Daniel Macarin, and Shane Mahan

Better Man – Luke Millar, David Clayton, Keith Herft, and Peter Stubbs

Dune: Part Two – Paul Lambert, Stephen James, Rhys Salcombe, and Gerd Nefzer

Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes – Erik Winquist, Stephen Unterfranz, Paul Story, and Rodney Burke

Wicked – Pablo Helman, Jonathan Fawkner, David Shirk, and Paul Corbould

Prediction: Dune: Part Two

And finally, Dune will follow the trend of sequels winning the Visual Effects award – with past cases like Avatar and Star Wars.

That's all for now. Let's see who wins what this year. See you at the Oscars.

SAXOPHONES AT SMALL’S JAZZ CLUB

SEAMUS BLAKE with Alexander Claffy and Mark Whitfield Jr, 18 SEPTEMBER 2024, 7:30 pm set

SARAH HANAHAN with Caelan Cardello, Matt Dwonszyk, and Hank Allen-Barfield, 19 SEPTEMBER 2024, 10:30 pm set

MIKE LEDONNE with ERIC ALEXANDER, Alex Claffy, and Aaron Seeber, 16 SEPTEMBER 2024, 7:30 pm set

I did go on a saxophone spurt so that is the overarching way to organize this souvenir. But there’s Alexander Claffy as the absolute glue on the SEAMUS BLAKE set but also on MIKE LEDONNE’s gig. I’ve been thinking of tenor/bass/drums trios so Blake extends that exercise following on Julieta Eugenio (with Matt Dwonszyk coincidentally) two weeks ago. I was a little surprised by Caelan Cardello’s power in his recent trio gig, so hearing him with the relentless SARAH HANAHAN was interesting. She opened with John Coltrane’s Welcome while LEDONNE/ALEXANDER made a similar move with McCoy Tyner’s Blues for Ball and then Coltrane’s I’ll Wait and Pray.

Let’s see what fabric I make out of all these threads.

Well, first, SEAMUS BLAKE was, like Eugenio, a lighter melodic improviser. He was more tune oriented with Stella By Starlight to open and Autumn Leaves to close. His version of Along Came Betty had a bossa feel to the point that he wanted to call it Betty Goes To Rio. He identified In Bloom as part of the Kurt Cobain songbook; it was catchy enough over a simple and direct rhythm section. It segued into some Ellington to save the day. Blake was solid but ordinary. It was Claffy who stood out with interesting solos and, seemingly, the necessary work to drive the band. He was in sync with Mark Whitfield Jr who was extremely tasty, playing at Mezzrow’s level in the bigger club without sacrificing any drive.

SARAH HANAHAN is a raw talent. With Joe Farnsworth, as she was earlier in the week (oh, yeah, another thread of context), she is an indulged enfant terrible. If she were a trumpet player, I would complain as she does the saxophone equivalent of playing lots and lots of notes going to the upper register too early and often. She also really extends tunes; there just three in her set. The Coltrane opener had a modal churn and even a significant A Love Supreme quote. Hanahan of course went there. Cardello held his own, but let off the gas often enough to benefit his own playing but also his leader. The second tune was probably a standard so Hanahan took most of her second solo in a more lyrical vein. Her We Bop as a closer is also catchy with a riffy line that provided some structure. She has an album with more focused tunes, so she will get there. For now, we can wait and watch as she grows into her raw talent.

I saw an Eric Alexander gig recently, probably with MIKE LEDONNE, that lacked structure, so I appreciate his leadership here. As I was getting to know his playing, I found him sometimes heavy handed. He is a big player and going modal early in the set makes a certain sense. But, that heft focused Alexander who shifted to alto for a ballad (Sometimes I’m Happy?) and a blues at the end that I found more successful. Ledonne though was solid throughout and Claffy was there too though he didn’t have to do as much.

Solid enough stuff. A cliche here might be, “but nothing to write home about.” But I have written about it.

By Yoni Kempinski

“The British Library, the largest national library in the world by number of items cataloged, has for the first time ever put some of its rarest and most ancient religious texts online for the general public to be able to access them from around the world.”

“The unparalleled online collection titled ‘Discovering Sacred Texts’ includes some which subsequently became the authoritative texts for Jews around the world. They include one of the only copies of the Talmud that somehow escaped the public burnings suffered by most of the other Jewish law books during the Middle Ages and was left unmutilated or uncensored, the first complete printed text of the Mishnah, and the Gaster Bible, one of the earliest surviving Hebrew biblical codices, thought to have been created in Egypt around the 10th century CE.”
