The entertainment industry sees major shifts as Paramount and Warner Bros merge. The merger, resulting in an estimated $79 billion net debt, will unify their streaming platforms without any cable asset sales, stated Paramount CEO David Ellison.
In cinema, the focus shifts towards compelling human stories as Oscar-nominated films highlight the Palestinian narrative amid ongoing conflicts. Meanwhile, 'Sinners' secures the Actor Award, preparing for an Oscars face-off against 'One Battle After Another'.
