  1. #NoMansLand? #RichardKMorgan is publishing a #darkfantasy novel in March, set in a Britain overrun by fae after #WW1? The blurb for Abercrombie's #TheDevils sounded great, but the book itself was so awful it was unreadable (for me). I remain very excited… #booksky #fantasy

  12. Backlash to Academy Awards response over No Man’s Land co-director’s ‘lynching’ grows; board meets.

    Over 600 members of the Academy for Motion Picture Arts and Science have condemned the body’s response to the attack by West Bank settlers on the Hamdan Ballal, co-director of this year’s Best Documentary Oscar winner, No Man’s Land. Ballal reported that the settlers in the West Bank referenced the Oscar during the attack, which his Israeli co-director Yuval Abraham described as a ‘lynching’. The letter, signed by stars including Natasha Lyonne, Olivia Colman, Javier Bardem, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix, Ava DuVernay, Alfonso Cuarón, Penélope Cruz, Emma Thompson, Tony Kushner and Jonathan Glazer comes after the Academy belatedly condemned the attack in a statement that didn’t mention Ballal by name and referenced the Academy membership’s “many unique viewpoints”. In response to the members’ letter, the Academy’s board has called an extraordinary meeting to discuss a new response.

  13. Breaking: this year’s Best Doc Oscar-winner attacked by settlers, taken from ambulance by IDF

    The Palestinian co-director of the 2025 Academy Award winner for best picture, Hamdan Ballal has been attacked, arrested and is – at time of writing – out of contact. The Israeli co-director of the Oscar-winning Yuval Abraham said Ballal was attacked and wounded by settlers. Witnesses say Israeli soldiers removed him from an ambulance while he was receiving treatment.

    Abraham posted on social media:
    “A group of settlers just lynched Hamdan Ballal, co director of our film no other land. They beat him and he has injuries in his head and stomach, bleeding. Soldiers invaded the ambulance he called, and took him. No sign of him since.”
