Many events stake a claim to be considered among the sporting clashes of the century and few live up to the hype but any shortlist of contenders for the greatest of all time must include the first fight between Muhammad Ali and Joe Frazier. For boxing that moment came at Madison Square Garden on March 8, 1971 when unbeaten heavyweights Ali and Frazier fought in what remains, just as it was advertised that night 50 years ago, the "Fight of the Century". "It was a magical night that I will never ever forget," recalled legendary boxing promoter Bob Arum, who was ringside for the 15-round battle won by Frazier in a unanimous decision.
It seemed that Gerard Moreno's 39th minute penalty, awarded for handball following a VAR intervention, would be enough to secure the points - but Valencia's late show means it is now eight league games without a win for Unai Emery's side. Villarreal should have doubled their lead on the stroke of halftime as defender Hugo Guillamon's error left former Valencia striker Paco Alcacer one-on-one with Jasper Cillessen.

Tony Hendra, a British satirist who worked as a top editor with National Lampoon and Spy magazines and is best known from “This Is Spinal Tap” as the band’s manager Ian Faith, has died. He was 79. Hendra died on Thursday in Yonkers, New York of Lou Gehrig’s disease, his wife Carla told The New York Times. He was first diagnosed with the condition in 2019. He got his start at Cambridge University in the ’60s and worked alongside John Cleese and Graham Chapman and others just before Monty Python would hit it big. He eventually took his comedy act on the road to America and worked with his partner, comedian Nick Ullett to perform stand-up and work as a writer and editor for various publications. But in 1970 he joined National Lampoon magazine and became the first editor hired by the comedy magazine’s founders Doug Kenney and Henry Beard. Before eventually rising to co-editor-in-chief between 1975-78, he co-created the Lampoon’s first album “Radio Dinner” and co-wrote, directed and produced the off-Broadway revue “Lemmings” starring future comedy royalty like John Belushi, Chevy Chase and Christopher Guest. But American fans will best recognize Hendra as Ian Faith from Rob Reiner’s cult classic mockumentary “This Is Spinal Tap.” Hendra played the band’s manager who had stuck with the band long-past their prime, would leave a cricket bat on his desk to intimidate people and famously bungled Tap’s stage show when he commissioned a model of Stonehenge that was just a matter of inches tall rather than a life-size, scale model. Some of Hendra’s other famous roles included on “Radio Dinner” a parody of John Lennon called “Magical Misery Tour” and appearances on “Miami Vice, “Law & Order: Criminal Intent,” “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” and the 1999 film “Suits.” More to come… Read original story Tony Hendra, National Lampoon Editor and ‘This Is Spinal Tap’ Star, Dies at 79 At TheWrap

The Chicks’ touring company Tunashoe Tours is suing WRB Underwriting for $6 million, accusing the U.K. insurance company of refusing to cover losses from the band’s canceled 2020 tour. The Gaslighter tour — named after The Chicks’ (formerly known as Dixie Chicks) album from last year — was set to be a 48-show trek across North America, but was put on pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Tunashoe Tours filed the breach of contract lawsuit on March 3 in Los Angeles Superior Court. In it, Tunashoe alleged that London-based WRB acted in “bad faith” and has “engaged in a ten-month campaign of repeated irrelevant questions and stall tactics” to avoid paying out the insurance for the tour.

According to the complaint, Tunashoe had insurance contracts with 14 different underwriters, and all of them paid out after the Gaslighter tour was canceled — except WRB. Tunashoe also accused WRB of trying to get the band to simply postpone the tour to 2021 to avoid paying out the insurance fee. As the lawsuit notes, however, that would have been impossible because the tour agreement was specifically set for 2020. On top of that, the uncertainty around different states’ coronavirus regulations at that time would have made it nearly impossible for the band to plan a tour for 2021, the lawsuit said. The Chicks’ lawyers argued in the court filing that WRB Underwriting’s “conduct is despicable and has been done with a conscious disregard of the rights of Tunashoe, constituting oppression, fraud of malice.” Read original story The Chicks Sue Insurance Company for $6 Million Over Costs From Canceled Tour At TheWrap

With Oscar nomination voting beginning on Friday, Searchlight’s “Nomadland” is in a strong position. But history suggests that it’s also a precarious position. Chloé Zhao’s American travelogue has won the lion’s share of critics’ awards this year, won the Golden Globe for Best Motion Picture – Drama and sits comfortably atop most Oscar prediction polls. But we’re at a strange point in the Oscar race, one which usually arrives in early January — a point where almost every award that’s been handed out so far has come from voters who are critics or journalists or academics, and where we really haven’t heard from the industry. And it’s the industry, not the critics, that votes for the Oscars. “Nomadland” might look good, but so did “The Social Network” in 2011 and “Boyhood” in 2015, before the critics stopped voting and the industry started voting. And then “The King’s Speech” (in 2011) and “Birdman” (in 2015) suddenly racking up the awards, up to and including the Oscar. Also Read: 'Nomadland' Film Review: Frances McDormand Hits the Road in Quiet, Lyrical Drama That’s not to say that “Nomadland” will suffer the same fate; precedents are probably meaningless in a year as strange as this one. And while Zhao’s film might lack the straightforward appeal of, say, Aaron Sorkin’s “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” it is an exquisite piece of work that should find plenty of support within the Academy. (I watched it again this week, and its rough, elegiac lyricism has only gained in power since I first saw it last September.) We have gotten some clues from the industry in the past few weeks, starting with the Screen Actors Guild nominations. The actors boosted “Minari” and ignored “Nomadland” in the ensemble category — but would you expect a group of actors to honor a movie in which most of the performers are nonprofessionals without SAG cards? The Writers Guild announced its own picks, but its rules disqualified “Mank,” “The Father,” “Minari,” “Soul” and, yes, “Nomadland,” so it’s hard to view them as a reliable precursor to anything. Still, if you look at the guilds and professional organizations that have nominated so far this year — which, in addition to SAG and the WGA, include the Art Directors Guild, Costume Designers Guild, Cinema Audio Society, Motion Picture Sound Editors, Make-Up Artists and Hair Stylists Guild, Visual Effects Society and Society of Composers and Lyricists — you do get a sense of what films are clicking with the industry professionals in those areas. It’s not a comprehensive picture, but it’s a start. Also Read: Why Making 'Nomadland' Left Chloe Zhao 'Emotionally Drained' And it’s a curious start. “Nomadland” was only nominated by one of the groups, SAG, with an individual nomination for Frances McDormand rather than an ensemble nod. “The Father” had a similar showing, with only a SAG best-actor nom for Anthony Hopkins. “Minari” was only recognized by two guilds, but it was nominated in the crucial SAG ensemble category. All three also made the BAFTA longlists for the British Academy Film Awards, which are significant in that there’s substantial overlap between BAFTA and Academy membership, but suspect because a longlist of 15 is a lot more generous than a slate of five nominees. Of the presumed Oscar contenders who did well, “News of the World” and “Mank” landed nominations from seven of the eight guilds and made the BAFTA best-film longlist; “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Da 5 Bloods” and “Promising Young Woman” received five guild noms plus BAFTA, with “Ma Rainey” and “Da 5 Bloods” landing coveted SAG ensemble spots; and “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Sound of Metal” were recognized by four guilds and BAFTA, with the former also getting a SAG ensemble nod. (“Tenet” and “Wonder Woman 1984” also picked up four guild nominations, but their non-appearance on the BAFTA best-film longlist suggests weakness in the Best Picture category; certainly, the latter is not a contender there.) Also Read: How Many Votes Does It Take to Get an Oscar Nomination in 2021? None of this means that “Nomadland” and “Minari” won’t be in the thick of the Oscar race, or that “Mank” and “News of the World” should be considered front runners. At this point, all four are likely Best Picture nominees, part of a group of strong contenders that also includes “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “One Night in Miami,” Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Promising Young Woman,” “Soul” and “Da 5 Bloods.” But that list contains 10 films, and the variable system that the Academy has used to select Best Picture nominees since 2011 has never produced that many spots in the past and seems extremely unlikely to do so this year. We won’t know what’s in and what’s out until Oscar nominations are announced on March 15, but next week will bring a formidable slate of nominations that may put the contest into focus before Oscar voters weigh in. The Producers Guild will announce its nominations on Monday, the Directors Guild and BAFTA on Tuesday, the American Society of Cinematographers on Wednesday and American Cinema Editors on Thursday. All are crucial, and all may help make sense of this weird year. But don’t expect any real answers, because 2020 and 2021 won’t give up their secrets that easily.
