Movies@lemmy.world•Jessie Buckley Wins Best Actress Oscar for ‘Hamnet’English
11·3 days agoShe acted her ass off:
As Zhao told IndieWire late last year, Buckley was an early favorite for the role of Agnes. “I knew her work. I had a feeling that she wouldn’t be afraid. There was no vanity in her, which is what Fran McDormand had,” the filmmaker told our Anne Thompson. “I’m neurodivergent, and when there’s dissonance, I can’t function. I can’t look at the person. So I need that authenticity, and vanity is the number-one enemy of authenticity. Actors, their greatest blessing they can give to the world is their authenticity and their humanness.”

25·4 days agoIf anyone’s curious what happened to the translation here, the original Russian is abbreviated — the full phrase would be «мороженое в ассортименте» (ice cream in assortment) — but they abbreviated assortment and Russian doesn’t have articles so they use them when you wouldn’t expect.
Also, this is most likely eastern Ukraine because they quote the prices in both hryvnia and roubles.

Football@sopuli.xyz•‘This is an unusual thing’: Aston Villa Women’s female leadership look to blaze a trailEnglish
3·5 days agoLove to see women representing at every level of the game:
The former midfielder ended her career at Villa in 2022 and has progressed to become the club’s director of women’s football. As they prepare to dedicate Sunday’s home league game against Manchester City to International Women’s Day, it is noticeable that Ewers is alongside several other women in senior leadership roles at Villa. The club welcomed Maggie Murphy as managing director earlier this season and in Ewers, Murphy and the head coach, Natalia Arroyo, Villa are a rarity in having those three specific roles all filled by women, even before mentioning executive board members such as the chief people officer, Lisa Bailey, the head of football administration, Sharon Barnhurst, and the general counsel, Victoria Wilkes.
Ewers, Murphy and Arroyo work together daily in regards to Villa’s women’s team, bringing together three different nationalities and three different career backgrounds. “That’s a real benefit, also having three women who have experience in women’s football,” says Ewers. “We have a really big responsibility in helping other women step into the space. If women see it’s possible at a big club like this, it’s huge.”

It’s tough to say definitively because there are a bunch of dialects, but in mine (west coast USA), “on another continent” is correct and “in another continent” sounds a little off.

2·8 days agoGood on Australia:
“We’re willing to provide assistance to other women in the team, noting that this is a very delicate situation, and it is up to them, but we say to them, if you want our help, help is here, and we will provide that,” Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese told reporters.
“I don’t want to begin to imagine how difficult that decision is for each of the individual women, but certainly last night it was joy, it was relief,” said Burke, posting photos with the players to social media. “People were very excited about embarking on a life in Australia.”
