As a very opinionated movie fanatic, the Oscars would either mean utter devastation or overwhelming joy, which was soon to be discovered. In fact, throughout the approximate 3-hour ceremony, I think I went through the entire range of human emotion. So, without further ado, let’s get to who won just a few of the categories, and more importantly, my own opinion. Best Picture My choice: Sinners Winner: One Battle After Another Now, unfortunately, One Battle After Another was one of the few Best Picture nominees I never got around to watching. So,...

“And it undeniably means England are the champions of the world,” Kenneth Wolstenholme said when England was crowned champions in the World Cup 1966 final. “When falls the Coliseum, Rome shall fall; And when Rome falls—the World.” The game is entertainment.

What’s your opinion on the no-phone policy in the morning? Last week, during assembly, as a college community, we were told that from Term 2, phones will not be allowed on-site as soon as we walk through the gates in the morning.
