Mulvaney received a flood of hate messages after sharing a video on social networks. In the video, the two artists expressed their joy at the event, and the resulting reactions drew the ire of Lady Gaga.

The singer stated categorically that the messages written were hatred and not negative reactions as, according to her, reported by a media outlet, which she accuses of downplaying the situation.

Gaga, followed by more than 56 million followers on Instagram, thus highlighted the discrimination and intolerance faced by transgender people. Gaga continued her plea by urging everyone to adopt a stance of acceptance, warmth and understanding towards the transgender community.

Dylan Mulvaney had been the victim of a strong transphobic reaction the first time around by many Americans following a Bud Light marketing campaign for March Madness. Bud Light, previously targeted by the Republican right, including the MAGA movement, last year, recorded a 17.3% drop in sales in Q4 2023 due to its decision to choose Mulvaney in its advertising campaign.

At the 96th Academy Awards, where the most prestigious prize is Best Picture, the evening was marked by an unexpected event.

When he took the stage, 83-year-old actor Al Pacino was warmly applauded by his peers…

…who were then surprised!

During his announcement, the actor began by pointing out that ten excellent films were in the running, but failed to mention each of the nominated films individually, a usual practice during this type of announcement.

However, Pacino immediately opened the envelope, then said, “My eye sees Oppenheimer!”

This presentation created a lot of public reaction, with Al Pacino quickly going viral after that moment!

Online reactions oscillated between humor, fascination and confusion, with many wondering whether this was either a rehearsed joke or an honest mistake on Pacino’s part.

In an interview with Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos, Oscar night host Jimmy Kimmel joked about the situation, humorously suggesting that Al Pacino may never have watched an awards ceremony before!

Al Pacino himself has won an Oscar and been nominated nine times during his career.

Gracie, a dog from the Stockton area of California, was near a dog shelter when she got her head stuck in a treat bucket for two weeks.

Tara Morrison, who is in charge of the shelter, spotted the bucket on Gracie’s head around the sixth day, but was unable to lure the dog to her in order to extract the admittedly uncomfortable hat.

To successfully capture Gracie, CarolEisenbrandt of Wilton Animal Rescue monitored the dog’s trajectory, and set up two traps along the way. One of the cages contained chicken, which attracted the beast, enabling the rescue to capture it.

The team managed to extort the pot, and following this, the dehydrated and starving dog underwent a few tests to ensure his health. Veterinarian Jeremy Chandler was in charge of giving him a thorough medical examination:

Carol Eisenbrandt was able to track down Gracie’s owner, a woman of no fixed abode, which explains the female’s vagrancy. Gracie’s owner agreed to allow theWilton Animal Rescue team to find a home to provide for the pet.
