The verdict is in: Timothée Chalamet has lost the Oscar for Best Actor for the third time. Although the general public has speculated that this comes after the backlash he received from a comment over the unimportance of ballet and opera, the voting actually closed prior to the controversy. So, what happened? Although Chalamet was a favorite for the award, he still managed to lose to Michael B. Jordan for Jordan’s excellent performance in Sinners. Was it Chalamet’s controversial campaign? His hubris? Will he ever get an Oscar?

In light of a certain movie star’s recent comments on ballet and opera, popular culture is finally talking about the two. Being as mainstream as I am, I decided to revisit two particular films that remind me what art does best: collision. Here are my thoughts on the films I watched last week and their directors.

In 2022, only 23.3% of Cornellians voted in the U.S. midterm elections. Compared to 46.2% of the national electorate and 42.5% of the state electorate, this statistic is far from ideal, especially for an institution full of empowered and smart students capable of enacting change through civic engagement. The founding principle of Cornell University is “... any person … any study”; at Cornell Votes, our guiding principle takes this a step further: “Every person, every voice.”

For five years, I’ve navigated Cornell as a Ph.D. student in the Geological Sciences. Throughout this time, I have seen the University’s mission — "... any person ... any study" — eroded by performative outrage. The night the Cornell Undergraduate Student Assembly took up Resolutions 55 and 61, that tension reached a boiling point.

After being swept along by the crowd of students wandering to and from Barton Hall, you finally find a place to sit on the jam-packed bleachers. The murmur of attendees surround you on the stands, and even more onlookers squabble about below, all fighting for the best view of the center stage. As your eyes adjust to the shining lights above, they focus on the runway, adorned with red curtains and glowing cameras ready for the night ahead. The blasting music begins to subside as you settle in, and the crowd hushes as the cameras start rolling. Let the Cornell Fashion Collective 42nd Annual Spring Runway begin!

I believe the mark of good art is when it inspires the creation of more art, so when I walked away from PENUMBRA itching to write about it, I knew I had seen a truly phenomenal performance. On March 20 and 21, Cornell's Performing and Media Arts Department presented "PENUMBRA," a two-act original show featuring nine talented dancers exploring light, identity and consciousness. The show was fully produced by students enrolled in the PMA 1611: Rehearsal and Performance course. As described in the program, PENUMBRA "delve[s] into the shadow self and the tensions between impulse restraint and the ego," simultaneously drawing on the work of Carl Jung and Sigmund Freud. The word penumbra refers to the illuminated edge of a shadow, an idea which performers played on in both their movements and the production of the show, as they spun in and out of the stage lights.

On the evening of March 13, hundreds of Cornell students and Ithaca community members braved the blistering cold and rain to pack into Bailey Hall for Illuminations and Amber Dance Troupe’s annual spring showcase, Rhythms of China. Looking around the warmly lit auditorium, the atmosphere was alive with anticipation as community members settled into their seats, many with congratulatory bouquets and balloons in hand. I had little sense of what to expect as a first-time attendee, but I quickly realized what drew the audience in: a deeply profound universal expression of joy.

Shortparis, widely regarded as Russia’s ‘premiere concert band,’ has been through trials and tribulations. Some of the founding members moved to Saint Petersburg from an industrial town in southwest Siberia; others joined there, forming a collective destined to become one of the most symbolic acts for the local youth, particularly those aligned with the protest movement. After several successful years touring across the country, the government’s crackdown on dissent left them increasingly unable to perform. Venues refused to work with artists perceived as dissidents; the lack of social and cultural oxygen became apparent. The band sought expansion abroad, playing shows in Europe and Asia while straddling the edge between retaining their identity as an Eastern European act and integrating into unfamiliar contexts.

Cornell Fashion Collective’s 42nd annual runway show was held on Saturday and featured designs from four different levels, all with different themes. The show is the second largest annual student-run event on campus, and hosted over 3,000 attendees this year. Level one designers followed the grayscale theme, level two’s theme was Deus Ex Machina with technology as a highlight, and level three and four designers chose their own theme for senior collections.

Most current college students weren’t (politically) conscious in 2003 when we went to war with Saddam Hussein and Iraq. As a two-year-old, I certainly didn’t have an opinion at the time. The United States overthrew Saddam’s regime in December 2003. But building a nation is much harder than knocking one down. We did not withdraw from Iraq until 2011. In those eight years, 4,493 American soldiers died. Tens of thousands more were injured physically or mentally, often both.

I planned to spend Saturday night studying for three upcoming exams — and somehow ended up screaming over a Mr. Asia tug-of-war match instead.

Cornell is home to so many amazing attractions that it can be hard to keep track of them all. There are countless things that you would never expect to find, that can be found on our campus: an observatory, geological exhibits, an archive of century-old maps and a collection of antique keyboards, all within walking distance of your dorm. While Cornell offers many rare opportunities to explore new and unexpected interests, it also has lots of underappreciated facilities that everyone knows about but are seldom frequented.

Celebrities curate their personalities to appeal to a targeted audience; falling under archetypes that they must adhere to, or risk losing the base that supports them. Across media, there is one such common archetype: the wife guy.
