Benicio Del Toro hasn’t gone everywhere, but he’s now visibly everywhere. Of course, it has something to do with it being awards season, and the 2026 Oscar nominee has been attending one show after another, including Best Actor with his 14-year-old daughter Delilah, after hustling for a supporting role as a stealth activist karate instructor in One Battle After Another. In fact, one wonders just how far del Toro had to reach out of his comfort zone to play Sergio St. Carlos, the cool-as-a-cucumber teacher who gives Leonardo DiCaprio’s overzealous father Bob Ferguson a big helping hand in the search…
Berkshire Hathaway’s new CEO Greg Abel announced on CNBC’s “Squawk Box” on March 5 that the company will begin stock buybacks. This is relatively unusual for Berkshire, which hasn’t bought back stock since the second quarter of 2024. But the move is becoming increasingly common for companies like Berkshire, a financially mature conglomerate worth more than $1 trillion and with deep pockets of cash. Investment research firm Morningstar estimates that S&P 500 companies will spend about $1 trillion on stock buybacks in 2025, up from a record $942 billion in 2024. Last year was the fifth year in a row…

While studying at the Indian Institute of Information Technology in Allahabad, Surath Nayak wanted to leave his hometown of Hyderabad, India and travel around the world.”When I was a kid, I always had this idea in the back of my mind that I wanted to move abroad, but I was a little influenced by Western media. I watch a lot of Hollywood movies, so I was always influenced by that, and I liked the idea of moving to a different country and living there and experiencing what it was like there,” he told CNBC Make It.

Drama is more than just a movie genre when it comes to the Oscars. After all, the Academy Awards have had their fair share of controversies and pearl-clutching moments since their inception nearly a century ago, including in recent years. Let’s take the 2022 awards ceremony as an example. That’s when Will Smith stormed the stage during the Best Documentary Feature award presentation and slapped Chris Rock, who had dug out Jada Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, leaving everyone in the Dolby Theater stunned – not to mention the millions watching at home. “Keep your wife’s name out of that fucking…

Oil markets sent a clear signal this week that the massive release of stockpiled crude oil by the United States and its allies is far from addressing the unprecedented supply disruption caused by the Iran war. More than 30 countries in Europe, North America and Northeast Asia have agreed to pump 400 million barrels of oil into the market to stem rising energy prices. The United States is leading the effort, releasing 172 million barrels from the Strategic Petroleum Reserve, or 43% of the IEA total.This would be the largest release of oil reserves in the 50-year history of the…
And if you want F1 to win Best Picture quickly, you better buckle up to watch all 10 movies. After the rule changes were announced last April, one social media user criticized: “Yay, Movie Twitter. The Oscars just required voters to actually see all the nominees in the category before voting.” However, while Academy members must watch Oscar nominees through the group’s screening portal, they also have the option to check a box claiming they saw the film through other means (festivals, premieres, theaters). In other words, there are certainly sinners. One Academy member interviewed by the Los Angeles Times…
New York City faces an estimated $7 billion budget shortfall, and new Mayor Zoran Mamdani wants to tax the wealthy. But Mamdani and his administration recently acknowledged that they need to consider other ways to raise revenue for the city, from raising property taxes on homeowners to a long-talked-about idea that upends a feature of life in the Big Apple that many residents have long considered a right: ample free parking.New York has about 3 million street parking spaces, about 97% of which are free. Removing this benefit has been proposed many times, but has failed. But given the city’s…
