At first glance, the Emmys are giving a lot of love to young performers including Zendaya (“Euphoria”), Julia Garner (“Ozark”), Sarah Snook (“Succession”), Jeremy Pope (“Hollywood) and Ramy Youssef (“Ramy”). But looks can be deceiving because there are several Emmy veterans in their 70s, 80s and even 90s nipping at these whippersnappers’ heels in the quest for the gold statute.

Kenny Rogers always knew when to hold them, when to fold them, when to walk away, when to run. The beloved country-pop stud died Friday night at 81, after a career full of hits that defined his silver-fox mystique. Kenny was barely north of 40 when he sang his signature song, “The Gambler” in 1978, but he came on like a grizzled old sage who’d seen it all. His hits were full of sensually growled wisdom: walk away from trouble when you can, don’t fall in love with a dreamer, never...

Rohingyas, an indigenous population of Myanmar have faced decades of discrimination and repression under successive Burmese military regimes. Effectively denied Citizenship Rights by the 1982 Citizenship Law, they are one of the largest stateless populations in the world. The persecutions became more intense and more violent during 2017, and in the August of the same year, more than 700,000 of the 1,1 million living in Myanmar’s Rakhine State, were forced to seek refuge in neighboring Bangladesh. At the moment, they are staying at an immense refugee camp in Cox’s Bazar in Bangladesh.
The atrocities committed by Myanmar’s security forces, including mass killings, sexual violence, and widespread arson, according to Un investigators are now considered as genocide. However, the Rohingyas still want to return to Myanmar, but two attempts of repatriation have failed as the refugees said the guarantee of citizenship and safety was not ensured. At the same time, their...

Director Oualid Mouaness’ enriching use of images and sensitivity to narrative balance outweigh his unexceptional dialogue in “1982.” Even with such a caveat, his debut feature succeeds in accessing emotional truths that leave a lingering bittersweet melancholy. Based on his schoolboy memories of the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, the film is set on the last day of classes in an elementary school, integrating unremarkable childhood behavior with the ever-growing apprehensions of teachers and administrators as the rumble of war planes makes it impossible to protect the kids from the worsening situation.

Despite the deteriorating situation in southern Lebanon, the staff of an Anglophone school on the Beirut outskirts do their best to get the pupils through their final day of exams.
