Kicking off November with my blorbos! I’m also trying to make an effort to draw Tara with her mom and stepdad more, so this was a fun excuse 😎 Full pic (including a major spoiler!) is up on my Behind the Scenes Patreon tier!

Ben athleisure! Used this pic as reference since I liked the pose, so I tried to copy the line style a bit too ✌️

[cockamamieschemes]

I like to think that all of Ben's colleagues are under the impression he's The Most Boring Man Alive since he tries to avoid fights whenever possible, patrols some of the tamest parts of the city, and seems more interested in paperwork than any ambitions about becoming a police detective. Meanwhile, he spends half the night beating up and apprehending super criminals and getting thrown off of rooftops 🤗

If you are fond of collecting different design and types of jewelry click here then this article is really going to help you because in this article I’m going to describe some basic types of jewelry.

The term Jewelry is derived from a word Jewel. Today there are various types of jewelry available in the market. If you are fond of collecting different design and types of jewelry then this article is really going to help you because in this article I’m going to describe some basic types of jewelry. Costume Jewelry: Costume jewelry is also known as junk jewelry, fake jewelry and fashion jewelry. The costume jewelry was introduced as a cheap jewelry in 1935. Basically costume jewelry is made up of less expensive materials like plastics, synthetic stones, glass etc. It is very cheap as compare with other types of jewelry but it is very attractive. It adds style or beauty in a personality. Costume jewelry can be made up of different types of materials like glass beads, silver and some semi-precious stones. Nowadays, costume jewelry is also made up with precious metals. The value of metal used in the costume jewelry creates a very big difference between cheap and relatively expensive costume jewelry.

There is some antique costume jewelry is also available today. Antique costume jewelry adds elegance in a personality and it will also add some royal touch. Various kinds of antique costume jewelry items are available like earrings, bracelets, bangles and rings. Pearls Jewelry: Pearl jewelry has a very classic look and it has the ability to attract any kind of woman. Basically pearl jewelry has a magical look because of the natural look of pearl. Pearls are naturally created by the oysters. Pearl jewelry is available in various shapes and colors. The most common shapes of pearls are button, coin, rice, potato, oval, circle and many more. Usually fresh water pearls are used in the manufacturing of jewelry. Fresh water pearl jewelry is available in almost every color. The pearl jewelry is very classy and it is also not very expensive like gold and diamond. Luxurious Jewelry: The luxurious jewelry is usually made up of expensive materials like gold, platinum and diamond.

The luxurious jewelry is manufactured by the big brands of jewelry industry like Cartier, Bvlgari, Oscar Heyman and many more. These brands are specialists of jewelry designing which can be made up of diamond, gold and platinum. This kind of jewelry can easily range from some hundred dollars to 2 million dollars. A ring that can be gifted by an actor Ben Affleck to Jennifer Lopez is cost about a million dollar. Most of the luxurious jewelry can be made up with extremely detailed and ornate designs. Some people also buy expensive jewelry for investment because we all know that the value of gold, diamond and platinum is increasing very rapidly. Gems Jewelry: Nowadays gem stone jewelry is gaining popularity very rapidly because of two reasons. The first reason is their size and second is their unique colors. Usually gem stone jewelry is not very pocket friendly and their price is more than costume jewelry. The cost of the gem stone jewelry depends on which kind of gem stone you are using in your jewelry. The famous gem stones which can be used in jewelry are opals, ruby, topaz, diamond, spinals and aquamarines.

First Take: Paddington in Peru - the trilogy doesn't quite stick the landing

SYNOPSIS: Paddington returns to Peru to visit his beloved Aunt Lucy, who now resides at the Home for Retired Bears. With the Brown family in tow, a thrilling adventure ensues when a mystery plunges them into an unexpected journey.

It’s a trilogy of films that have become very well regarded in the family film market, and one which StudioCanal are arguably building their UK brand around (quite rightly) - we all know how beloved Paddington 2 was when it released in 2017, you just have to ask Nicolas Cage and he’ll tell you the answer. But with their trusted bear handler Paul King now in the big leagues making films like Wonka, and long-time producer David Heyman going with him, the big question with Paddington in Peru was whether a new director could keep that style and reputation of the series in tact.

Enter Dougal Smith. A music video director by trade, with no experience in anything beyond 3 and a half minutes, this is the man trusted to helm this 1 hour 43 minute film and he does a relatively good job keeping to the style we’ve got so used to under Paul King - but boy does the film miss his midas touch across the board, even if the trademark slapstick and wit that’s defined the earlier entries remains present and correct. However, the script has issues, while the work of Mark Burton, Jon Foster and James Lamont (taking a story devised by 1 & 2 veterans King and Simon Farnaby) does what it needs to do, the big sticking point is the involvement of Sony when it comes to global distribution rights- there are elements which pander to the American market, and where it struggles is when you take a stereotypically London-based film out of London. Erik Wilson yet again nails it on the cinematography having now worked on all three films, and Dario Marianelli turns in a pretty decent score (which doesn’t feature the calypso band that popped up in 1 and 2) to keep things consistent even with the change in direction.

On to the cast, and in time honoured tradition, we’ve got a few Hollywood legends not taking themselves seriously for the purpose of comedic effect. In 1 it was Nicole Kidman, in 2 it was that legendary Hugh Grant role, and in 3, Antonio Banderas and Olivia Colman join the party with funny, if a little predictable characters - and in Colman’s case it is great to see her doing a family film and using years of work in TV comedy to her advantage. The new additions also include Carla Tous and a little cameo from Hayley Atwell- but importantly a lot of the OGs return too, with Hugh Bonneville, Samuel Joslin, Madeleine Harris and Julie Walters all coming back as expected within the live action realm, with Imelda Staunton coming in to voice Aunt Lucy- but the major change to the lead characters is the recasting of Sally Hawkins’ role to Emily Mortimer, and ultimately the whole thing struggled as a result. Whoever made that call is getting a hard stare. Importantly, the glue which just about holds it together is Ben Whishaw, who once again keeps the film on track as the voice of that marmalade-loving bear as only he knows how.

THE VERDICT

It’s not reaching the same heights as the first two (especially with Wicked and Gladiator II taking most cinema screens imminently), but as far as the first Paddington film under new creative stewardship goes, it’s about as smooth of a transition as it could’ve been - whether StudioCanal pursue the wider franchise that they have planned, without King’s involvement, could be the call which makes or breaks the series moving forward.

RATING: 3.5/5

[ladypepperofdavenshire-archives]

A fun concept that I wanted to illustrate with these two! Couldn’t decide if I wanted to draw them in costumes or civvies, then I thought “why not both?” I like how Ben’s head falls into the night time/hero scheme since he sees it as an integral part of his life (so much so that it bleeds into everything else), while Blair is looking to the future and putting her messy past to rest, which is fitting for her being in the sunny view 👌🏽

Sneak peek at updated costumes for Chimera and Geist, which happens later on in their story after Geist returns from getting lost interdimensionally (and his og costume getting ruined beyond repair). Full thing is going up on my Patreon for BTS peeps soon!

B-10 : Oscar 2024 Predictions - A Film Fan's Perspective

The 96th Academy Awards, a.k.a. The Oscars®, are set to happen on March 11 at 4:30 AM IST. The celebrations of the Oscar season are at their full peak. Amid the fun and excitement - and less than 24 hours for the ceremony to start, here's a look at the movie categories and our predictions of the winners. These are predictions based on the trends, previous award ceremonies this year (like Golden Globes, BAFTA, Critics Choice, and SAG), and the winners - along with my perspective. So sit back and stay with me till the end:-

P.S. SPOILER ALERT!!!!

Best Picture

Nominees: 

American Fiction – Ben LeClair, Nikos Karamigios, Cord Jefferson, and Jermaine Johnson, producers

Anatomy of a Fall – Marie-Ange Luciani and David Thion, producers

Barbie – David Heyman, Margot Robbie, Tom Ackerley, and Robbie Brenner, producers

The Holdovers – Mark Johnson, producer

Killers of the Flower Moon – Dan Friedkin, Bradley Thomas, Martin Scorsese, and Daniel Lupi, producers

Maestro – Bradley Cooper, Steven Spielberg, Fred Berner, Amy Durning, and Kristie Macosko Krieger, producers

Oppenheimer – Emma Thomas, Charles Roven, and Christopher Nolan, producers

Past Lives – David Hinojosa, Christine Vachon, and Pamela Koffler, producers

Poor Things – Ed Guiney, Andrew Lowe, Yorgos Lanthimos, and Emma Stone, producers

The Zone of Interest– James Wilson, producer

Prediction: Oppenheimer 

It's highly doubtful that the Academy would not give the highest honor to Nolan's cinematic masterpiece of the year. Not doing so would lead to havoc.

Best Director

Nominees: 

Justine Triet – Anatomy of a Fall

Martin Scorsese – Killers of the Flower Moon

Christopher Nolan – Oppenheimer

Yorgos Lanthimos – Poor Things

Jonathan Glazer – The Zone of Interest

Prediction: Christopher Nolan

Nolan has given the ultimate blockbuster of the year - a period film with intense acting and technical excellence. It's time to make up for the snubs of the past.

Best Actor

Nominees: 

Bradley Cooper – Maestro as Leonard Bernstein

Colman Domingo – Rustin as Bayard Rustin

Paul Giamatti – The Holdovers as Paul Hunham

Cillian Murphy – Oppenheimer as J. Robert Oppenheimer

Jeffrey Wright – American Fiction as Thelonious "Monk" Ellison

Prediction(s): Cillian Murphy

With his wins at the Golden Globe, BAFTA, and the SAG, it's time for the Irishman to get the golden man for his first role as a leading man in a Nolan (after playing supporting or character roles in movies like The Dark Night Trilogy, Inception, and Dunkirk).

Best Actress

Nominees: 

Annette Bening – Nyad as Diana Nyad

Lily Gladstone – Killers of the Flower Moon as Mollie Burkhart

Sandra Hüller – Anatomy of a Fall as Sandra Voyter

Carey Mulligan – Maestro as Felicia Montealegre

Emma Stone – Poor Things as Bella Baxter

Prediction(s): Emma Stone/Lily Gladstone/Sandra Hüller

The competition for best actress is intense - as Gladstone has showcased her method acting (which might make her the first Native American to win the trophy). Meanwhile, Stone's feminist portrayal of a woman on her purpose to stand for equality and liberation seems Oscar-worthy (with her acting wins this year). Hüller, on the other hand, has given a breathtaking performance in the trilingual thriller.

Best Supporting Actor

Nominees: 

Sterling K. Brown – American Fiction as Clifford "Cliff" Ellison

Robert De Niro – Killers of the Flower Moon as William King Hale

Robert Downey Jr. – Oppenheimer as Lewis Strauss

Ryan Gosling – Barbie as Ken

Mark Ruffalo – Poor Things as Duncan Wedderburn

Prediction(s): Robert Downey Jr

RDJ might be memorable for Tony Stark/Iron Man. However, it's his portrayal of Strauss that's going to win this year. With two previous nominations (including one for portraying Charlie Chaplin), RDJ would likely be the first Marvel hero to win the Golden Man. He would also repeat the feat of Actor-Supporting Actor wins for the same film - after 1959's Ben Hur (Charlton Heston - Charles Laughton), 2003's Mystic River (Sean Penn - Tim Robbins), and 2013's Dallas Buyers Club (Matthew McCoughnahey - Jared Leto).

Best Supporting Actress

Nominees:

Emily Blunt – Oppenheimer as Kitty Oppenheimer

Danielle Brooks – The Color Purple as Sofia

America Ferrera – Barbie as Gloria

Jodie Foster – Nyad as Bonnie Stoll

Da'Vine Joy Randolph – The Holdovers as Mary Lamb

Prediction(s): Da'Vine Joy Randolph

Randolph's portrayal of a grieving mother stuck in a boarding school during the holiday season involves her comedic timing and emotional depth.

Best Original Screenplay

Nominees:

Anatomy of a Fall – Justine Triet and Arthur Harari

The Holdovers – David Hemingson

Maestro – Bradley Cooper and Josh Singer

May December – Screenplay by Samy Burch; Story by Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik

Past Lives – Celine Song

Prediction(s): Anatomy of A Fall/The Holdovers

While the former is this year's Palme d'Or winner and Golden Globe-winning screenplay, the latter is what would become a holiday classic. It's going to be a tough contest between the two films.

Best Adapted Screenplay

Nominees:

American Fiction – Cord Jefferson; based on the novel Erasure by Percival Everett

Barbie – Greta Gerwig and Noah Baumbach; based on characters created by Ruth Handler

Oppenheimer – Christopher Nolan; based on the biography American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin

Poor Things – Tony McNamara; based on the novel by Alasdair Gray

The Zone of Interest – Jonathan Glazer; based on the novel by Martin Amis

Prediction(s): Oppenheimer/American Fiction

The former might be possible with the guaranteed Best Picture & Director awards - which could make Nolan another director to win writing, directing, and producing Oscars. However, the latter would pose a tough competition - as it has already won the Writers Guild of America (WGA) Award, the Critics Choice Award, and several other precursor accolades. Its poignant exploration of race, family, and the American dream resonates with critics and audiences.

Best Animated Feature

Nominees:

The Boy and the Heron – Hayao Miyazaki and Toshio Suzuki

Elemental – Peter Sohn and Denise Ream

Nimona – Nick Bruno, Troy Quane, Karen Ryan, and Julie Zackary

Robot Dreams – Pablo Berger, Ibon Cormenzana, Ignasi Estapé, and Sandra Tapia Díaz

Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse – Kemp Powers, Justin K. Thompson, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and Amy Pascal

Prediction(s): Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse/The Boy and the Heron

It'll be Marvel's turn to preside over this category - with its innovative animation style, captivating story, and emotional connection. However, the Golden Globe-winning Japanese anime with a timeless tale of loss and resilience is a strong contender for the American animated film.

Best International Feature Film

Nominees:

Io capitano (Italy) – directed by Matteo Garrone

Perfect Days (Japan) – directed by Wim Wenders

Society of the Snow (Spain) – directed by J. A. Bayona

The Teachers' Lounge (Germany) – directed by İlker Çatak

The Zone of Interest (United Kingdom) – directed by Jonathan Glazer

Prediction(s): The Zone of Interest

The Grand Prix-winning tale of a Nazi leader's family living next to Auschwitz is a tale that will send chills down the spine.

Best Documentary Feature Film

Nominees:

Bobi Wine: The People's President – Moses Bwayo, Christopher Sharp, and John Battsek

The Eternal Memory – Maite Alberdi

Four Daughters – Kaouther Ben Hania and Nadim Cheikhrouha

To Kill a Tiger – Nisha Pahuja, Cornelia Principe, and David Oppenheim

20 Days in Mariupol – Mstyslav Chernov, Michelle Mizner, and Raney Aronson-Rath

Prediction(s): 20 Days in Mariupol

A tale about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 20 Days in Mariupol has won several documentary awards at multiple film festivals and award ceremonies. If it wins, it would be another film about the dark side of Russia to win the Oscar.

Best Documentary Short Film

Nominees:

The ABCs of Book Banning – Sheila Nevins and Trish Adlesic

The Barber of Little Rock – John Hoffman and Christine Turner

Island in Between – S. Leo Chiang and Jean Tsien

The Last Repair Shop – Ben Proudfoot and Kris Bowers

Nǎi Nai & Wài Pó – Sean Wang and Sam Davis

Prediction(s): The Last Repair Shop

Showing Los Angeles as one of the few United States cities to offer and fix musical instruments for its public school students at no cost, it might win the Oscar - as it has previously won the Critics Choice Documentary Award for the same category.

Best Live Action Short Film

Nominees:

The After – Misan Harriman and Nicky Bentham

Invincible – Vincent René-Lortie and Samuel Caron

Knight of Fortune – Lasse Lyskjær Noer and Christian Norlyk

Red, White and Blue – Nazrin Choudhury and Sara McFarlane

The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar – Wes Anderson and Steven Rales

Prediction(s): The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar

I guess it's time for Anderson to win his Oscar now - with his colors, symmetry, and star cast.

Best Animated Short Film

Nominees:

Letter to a Pig – Tal Kantor and Amit R. Gicelter

Ninety-Five Senses – Jared and Jerusha Hess

Our Uniform – Yegane Moghaddam

Pachyderme – Stéphanie Clément and Marc Rius

War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko – Dave Mullins and Brad Booker

Prediction(s): War Is Over! Inspired by the Music of John and Yoko

Inspired by and featuring John Lennon and Yoko Ono's peace anthem "Happy Xmas (War Is Over)," It is a simplistic take on war and humanity - which the Academy might honor.

Best Original Score

Nominees:

American Fiction – Laura Karpman

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny – John Williams

Killers of the Flower Moon – Robbie Robertson †

Oppenheimer – Ludwig Göransson

Poor Things – Jerskin Fendrix

Prediction: Oppenheimer

With his 54th nomination (and final because of his retirement), John Williams has entertained with his latest rendition of one of Hollywood's greatest film franchises. However, Goransson's Oppenheimer soundtrack adds tension to the film's plot - particularly with "Can You Hear the Music?" He can easily add an Oscar to his collection of Awards for Oppenheimer.

Best Original Song

Nominees:

"The Fire Inside" from Flamin' Hot – Music and lyrics by Diane Warren

"I'm Just Ken" from Barbie – Music and lyrics by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt

"It Never Went Away" from American Symphony – Music and lyrics by Jon Batiste and Dan Wilson

"Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)" from Killers of the Flower Moon – Music and lyrics by Scott George

"What Was I Made For?" from Barbie – Music and lyrics by Billie Eilish and Finneas O'Connell

Prediction: What Was I Made For?

It's likely a second win for the Eilish-O'Connell siblings - after No Time to Die. 

Best Sound

Nominees:

The Creator – Ian Voigt, Erik Aadahl, Ethan Van der Ryn, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic

Maestro – Steven A. Morrow, Richard King, Jason Ruder, Tom Ozanich, and Dean Zupancic

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – Chris Munro, James H. Mather, Chris Burdon, and Mark Taylor

Oppenheimer – Willie Burton, Richard King, Gary A. Rizzo, and Kevin O'Connell

The Zone of Interest – Tarn Willers and Johnnie Burn

Prediction: Oppenheimer

It's Nolan's year when it comes to technical awards. The sound design and editing show that Nolan has duly followed the laws of physics - and ensured tension in the other scenes.

Best Production Design

Nominees:

Barbie – Production Design: Sarah Greenwood; Set Decoration: Katie Spencer

Killers of the Flower Moon – Production Design: Jack Fisk; Set Decoration: Adam Willis

Napoleon – Production Design: Arthur Max; Set Decoration: Elli Griff

Oppenheimer – Production Design: Ruth De Jong; Set Decoration: Claire Kaufman

Poor Things – Production Design: James Price and Shona Heath; Set Decoration: Zsuzsa Mihalek

Prediction(s): Barbie/Poor Things

Fantasy films have eye-grabbing sets and decorations that are attractive to the Academy voters. It can be either of the two women-centric films.

Best Cinematography

Nominees:

El Conde – Edward Lachman

Killers of the Flower Moon – Rodrigo Prieto

Maestro – Matthew Libatique

Oppenheimer – Hoyte van Hoytema

Poor Things – Robbie Ryan

Prediction(s): Oppenheimer

Hoytema's camerawork captures expansive desert vistas and painfully intimate close-ups using IMAX film cameras (in color and monochrome). A win for him is confirmed

Best Makeup and Hairstyling

Nominees:

Golda – Karen Hartley Thomas, Suzi Battersby, and Ashra Kelly-Blue

Maestro – Kazu Hiro, Kay Georgiou, and Lori McCoy-Bell

Oppenheimer – Luisa Abel

Poor Things – Nadia Stacey, Mark Coulier, and Josh Weston

Society of the Snow – Ana López-Puigcerver, David Martí, and Montse Ribé

Prediction(s): Maestro

Although other movies have dominated the major categories, a Bradly Cooper film can win an Oscar this year - with the magnificent transformation of the lead actor into Leonard Bernstein. 

Best Costume Designing

Nominees:

Barbie – Jacqueline Durran

Killers of the Flower Moon – Jacqueline West

Napoleon – Janty Yates and Dave Crossman

Oppenheimer – Ellen Mirojnick

Poor Things – Holly Waddington

Prediction(s): Barbie/Poor Things

Like many fantasy films, it's a tough pick between the two films in costumes - like the production design category.

Best Film Editing

Nominees:

Anatomy of a Fall – Laurent Sénéchal

The Holdovers – Kevin Tent

Killers of the Flower Moon – Thelma Schoonmaker

Oppenheimer – Jennifer Lame

Poor Things – Yorgos Mavropsaridis

Prediction(s): Oppenheimer

It goes with saying for the technical awards and Nolan - with the montages, parallel storytelling, and transitions that accompany the screenplay.

Best Visual Effects

Nominees:

The Creator – Jay Cooper, Ian Comley, Andrew Roberts, and Neil Corbould

Godzilla Minus One – Takashi Yamazaki, Kiyoko Shibuya, Masaki Takahashi, and Tatsuji Nojima

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 – Stéphane Ceretti, Alexis Wajsbrot, Guy Williams, and Theo Bialek

Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One – Alex Wuttke, Simone Coco, Jeff Sutherland, and Neil Corbould

Napoleon – Charley Henley, Luc-Ewen Martin-Fenouillet, Simone Coco, and Neil Corbould

Prediction: Godzilla Minus One

I'm deeply offended that Oppenheimer didn't get a nomination in this category. However, with the nominees, I'd have to pick Godzilla - with its first-ever nomination in the franchise - and also because it is a visual spectacle besides Oppenheimer this year.

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