This excitement has diluted to simply a morning discussion of whatever highlight persists through the night.

Messi, the beloved Border collie who stole hearts in the Oscar-nominated film "Anatomy of a Fall", will not be gracing the red carpet at the upcoming Academy Awards ceremony. Despite capturing the attention of Hollywood's elite at the recent nominees' luncheon, the four-legged sensation will be notably absent from Sunday's star-studded event.

In the shadow of the snow-draped French Alps lies a riveting tale– that transitions from a slack murder mystery to an edge-of-the-seat courtroom drama– engaging viewers with its enigmatic narrative and thought-provoking exploration of human complexities. With five Oscar nominations to its name, "Anatomy of a Fall", unfolds with gripping intensity following the suspicious 'Fall' of Sandra's husband—the central figure, an author, and translator portrayed by Sandra Hüller.

Historical drama film "Oppenheimer", one of last year's highest-earning movies, led nominations for the Baftas with 13 nods on Thursday, but the omission of some favourites from Britain's top movie honours surprised fans.

Justine Triet's Cannes Palme d'Or and Golden Globe-winning masterpiece, "Anatomy of a Fall", transcends the boundaries of traditional cinema, diving into the labyrinthine intricacies of human connections. A mesmerising portrayal by Sandra Hüller adds an intensely personal touch to this gripping French drama, where love's mysteries unfold against the breathtaking backdrop of the French Alps.
