Kangana Ranaut dismisses Oscars, slams America for ‘bullying and suppressing’ developing nations

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut is no stranger to making bold statements, both on and off the screen. Known for her fearless approach to the film industry and her outspoken opinions, she has once again sparked debate by dismissing the prestigious Academy Awards. Following the success of her latest film, Emergency, which has topped Netflix since its release, Kangana referred to the Oscars as “silly” and critiqued America’s global influence, claiming it bullies and suppresses developing nations.

The political drama, Emergency, directed by and starring Ranaut, delves into one of India’s most controversial periods, the Emergency imposed by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975. As the film has been celebrated for its nuanced portrayal of the political landscape and for Kangana’s performance, some fans suggested that the film deserved an Oscar nod. However, in her characteristic style, Kangana dismissed the idea, emphasising the importance of India’s own National Film Awards over international accolades.

Kanye West slams Kim Kardashian over North West’s music debut with Diddy amid kids' trademark battle

Kanye West, now legally known as Ye, has launched a public attack against his ex-wife Kim Kardashian, accusing her of blocking their daughter North West from featuring on his new song and taking full control of their children’s trademarks. What began as a disagreement over their daughter’s involvement in Ye’s latest track has spiralled into a fierce battle over parental rights, creative freedom, and the future of their children’s identities.

Ye recently dropped a new track, Lonely Roads Still Go to Sunshine, featuring North West, Sean “Diddy” Combs, King Combs, and Chicago artist Jasmine Williams. However, behind the scenes, Kim reportedly intervened to prevent North’s appearance, allegedly sending legal letters to stop her participation. Kim’s reason? She claims to be protecting North from being associated with Diddy, who is currently facing serious legal charges. But critics argue Kim’s move is less about safeguarding her daughter and more about maintaining control.
