Veteran German director Wim Wenders broke new ground during the Oscar nominations on Tuesday morning when he was nominated for his Japanese-language drama Perfect Days in the best international feature category.
This isn’t Wenders’ first Oscars rodeo. The 78-year-old German director has three Academy Award nominations to his name but all have come in the best documentary category. He was nominated in 2000 for the music doc Buena Vista Social Club about aging Cuban street musicians; in 2012 for Pina, a groundbreaking 3D documentary tribute to the work of legendary dance choreographer Pina Bausch; and in 2015 for The Salt of the Earth, a portrait of famed Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado, co-directed with Salgado’s son, Juliano Ribeiro Salgado. Perfect Days does, however, mark Wenders’ first-ever Oscar nomination for a drama.

This post contains spoilers through the seventh episode of "Succession" season 4.
The political situation in "Succession" has always been fascinating. Back in season 1, Shiv (Sarah Snook) ended up working on the Presidential campaign of Gil Eavis, an anti-billionaire Bernie Sanders-type character. Although "Succession" has always felt fairly realistic with its take on how politics and wealth intermingle, the fact that Gil would have Shiv on his campaign team was admittedly a bit of a stretch.
If real-life Bernie Sanders ever mentioned in an interview that he had Rupert Murdoch's daughter on his team, he'd almost certainly get some pushback from his base. And although his meeting with Logan during Shiv's wedding in the season 1 finale was never made public, it would still be a massive PR risk for Gil if the press ever got a whiff of it.
So it may have been for the best when Shiv...

Poet Yesika Salgado Gets Real About Writer's Block, Heartbreaking Success, and Going Back to Therapy
After the professional whirlwind of writing three critically acclaimed poetry books in a two-year span, Yesika Salgado now has the luxury of slowing down and tasting the mangoes. For Salgado, changing her once neck-breaking pace has been a challenge that has completely changed her relationship with herself and with her writing. Salgado's first book, affectionately named "Corazon," tells the story of yearning for romantic love yet finding love outside of romance. Her second Book "Tesoro" recounts having to survive machismo and the men we've loved; and her final book "Hermosa" is all about growth.
Salgado, 39, is a commanding voice in contemporary poetry. She is a two-time National Poetry Slam finalist, a Long Beach Slam Champion, and a recipient of the 2020 International Latino Book Award in Poetry. The Salvadorian-American writer's first book of poems is an acclaimed cult classic, taught in both college courses and high school English classes. Despite having...
