We kind of know what to expect from the 90th Annual Academy Awards; after all, they’ve done this thing 89 times before.
However, a number of new and different aspects should also emerge at this edition of the movie industry’s self-love celebration. So much Hollywood-related stuff has gone down in the past 12 months, the only surprise this time would be if host Jimmy Kimmel, presenters and Oscar-winners don’t address what’s on everyone’s minds at the Dolby Theatre Sunday night.
Therefore, we’ve come up with a list of five topics that ought to get some attention at the ceremony, if all the time isn’t taken up thanking agents, parents and favorite pets.
#TIMESUP
That won’t refer to the length of acceptance speeches this year. The national, even worldwide outcry against sexual harassment and misconduct, which exploded in the movie business last fall and still roils it, will be in everyone’s thoughts and words. The attendant fed-upness with the lack of equity and opportunity for women in films should also be an issue, whether or not Greta Gerwig’s “Lady Bird” wins any statuettes.
To avoid insensitivity and mortification on the show, accused harasser and last year’s Best Actor winner Casey Affleck has been asked not to fill the traditional
role of presenting this year’s Best Actress winner with her Oscar. James Franco, a likely Best Actor nominee before his Golden Globes win for “The Disaster Artist” triggered several misconduct accusations, subsequently failed to make the academy’s nomination cut. And these will be the first Oscars in decades without Harvey Weinstein, which comes with the extra benefit of the disgraced producer not manipulating voters into giving awards to his mediocre movies.
Though many will likely applaud such steps, what the academy will do if things come out about any of Sunday’s winners, or if clamor increases around previous winners with troubling sexual pasts, remains a mystery.
#OSCARSNOTSOWHITE ANYMORE?
Well, at least they’ve gotten past the issue of all-Caucasian acting nominees that triggered so much criticism for a few years. Or have they? While the actors’ winners circle will probably look like a NATO summit again, this may not be much of a concern for African-Americans this year. After all, “Moonlight” won the big prize last time around, “Get Out” is up for Best Picture and its producer-writer-director Jordan Peele is a rare nominee for all three of those top Oscars. And Daniel Kaluuya, Denzel Washington, Mary J. Blige and Octavia Spencer are all nominated for acting awards, if unlikely to win any.

OTHER PERSPECTIVES, THOUGH NOT SO INCLUSIVE
“The Shape of Water” director/writer/producer Guillermo del Toro is a heavy favorite to win Best Director, but his success doesn’t give U.S. Latino’s a lot of hope. (Photo by Kerry Hayes/Twentieth Century Fox)
Ask U.S. Latinos in show business how they feel about Guillermo del Toro probably winning Best Director for his gorgeous monster fable “The Shape of Water,” and they’ll more than likely say yeah, great movie, but why weren’t any Hispanic actors in it (or in other great Mexican directors’ recent Oscar-winners). The Awards come on the heels of another outcry over the whitewashing of Asian characters from other media in movie adaptations, this time regarding the just-released sci fi thriller “Annihilation.”
There will be some Muslim representation. We have a Foreign Language Film nominee, “The Insult,” from Lebanon. The Syrian producer of the harrowing documentary “Last Men in Aleppo,” Kareem Abeed, finally got a visa to attend the ceremony a few days ago after the U.S. consulate in Istanbul had blocked him for the longest time. And “The Big Sick” co-writer Kumail Nanjiani is at least one recognizable American Muslim name nominated for a major award.
These Oscars are probably still too white, though.
BALLISTIC OVER TRUMP
Of course, like last year, outrage regarding Donald Trump being president could erupt at any time. This year, though, that could be tied to the tragic, yet again hot-button issue of mass shootings and what to do about them. Since the president seems to be either for against weapon restrictions depending on the time of day, this could complicate the mostly pro-gun control academy crowd’s feelings about him on the big night. But then, Hollywood’s already got to deal with the confusing fact that the film industry is built to some degree on its glorification of gunplay.
IT CAN’T HAPPEN AGAIN. WE HOPE.
Important as the political stuff is, perhaps the main thing a lot of people associated with Oscar will be concerned about is avoiding a snafu like the one that ended last year’s show. The academy was embarrassed like never before when “La La Land” was erroneously announced the Best Picture winner, and a producer of that film who discovered the mistake had to ask the folks from “Moonlight” to come onstage. You can bet AMPAS – and PricewaterhouseCoopers, the accounting firm whose employees were blamed for the big screw-up – have put rigorous new fail-safe systems in place that are 100 times more dependable than Hawaii’s early warning system.
Now, if they can just prevent Harvey Weinstein from trying to sneak in disguised as an extra from the “Planet of the Apes” movie, things should be golden.

Carmen Perez was born into a poor but beautiful family, the ninth of 10 children raised in East Los Angeles by her mom after her father died when she was 5.
But leaders inevitably rise, and Perez emerged from her humble beginnings to become one of the most influential people in Long Beach, including 12 years as the first Latina on the city’s powerful Harbor Commission.
On Tuesday Perez, along with Leadership Long Beach, the city’s premier nonprofit organization in developing leaders in the community, will be given a Key to the City by Long Beach Mayor Robert Garcia in the City Council chamber at City Hall.
Garcia, himself an alum of the LLB Class of 2003, praised Perez for her decades of community involvement and opening doors for other women leaders. Garcia said LLB was deserving of recognition for developing its network of alumni reflecting the diversity of Long Beach and all working to make the city better.
“We are absolutely delighted to be receiving this honor along with Carmen Perez,” said Jeff Williams, executive director of the Leadership Long Beach, who will receive the city key along with LLB President Ryan Rayburn. “She is the epitome of what leadership is all about. This honor is also testament to the more than 1,500 alumni who have graduated from our leadership programs over the past 29 years.”
Perez said she was “flabbergasted and totally surprised” when she received a phone call from Mayor Garcia telling her she had been selected to receive a key to the city.
“His call made my day,” she told me. “I was feeling a little down because I had just had a pacemaker put in and I had some serious plumbing problems at home to contend with. I was feeling a little sorry for myself, but when I got that call, I told myself how fortunate I was to live in a great city like Long Beach which gives you an opportunity to give back.”
Perez’s community involvement began as a Long Beach Unified School District teacher’s aide while raising five children. She became a PTA president, the first of many volunteer jobs she held with several Long Beach organizations, including the American Diabetes Association, Girl Scouts Council, Public Corporation for the Arts, Parents Against Cancer and United Way.
She was patient support services director for the Rancho Los Amigos National Rehabilitation Center in Downey.
She also became a leader in the Latino community and the Democratic Party. She was a founding member of the Long Beach Mujeres Coalition and first president of the Long Beach Chicano Political Caucus. She worked tirelessly to increase the political empowerment and education for Latinos in Los Angeles and nationwide
One of her major community positions came in 1991 when she was appointed by late Mayor Ernie Kell to the Harbor Commission and reappointed by former Mayor Beverly O’Neill. During her 12 years on the commission, trade at the Port of Long Beach tripled, and she was appointed by Gov. Gray Davis to the California World Trade Commission.
She said one of her proudest achievements on the Harbor Commission was opening up the port to the public through free harbor cruises so citizens could get a close-up look at port operations.
She is also proud of opening doors to opportunities for women. Sandy Serrano Sewell, executive director of Centro de Ninos, Inc., a children’s support group, said Perez was “already at the table” when younger women were starting out in their careers. “She opened doors for so many women like myself showing us how not to be afraid and go for it,” Sewell said.
With all that she has achieved, what does Perez think is her biggest accomplishment? Her quick reply: “My most happy thing is my family, my children and my treasures: my five grandchildren and one great grandson. How lucky am I?”
A member of each LLB class since the first class in 1989 and other alumni, including some of the founders, are expected to be in the audience Tuesday to share in the awarding of the Key to the City to the organization. The presentation will be at 5 p.m. in advance of the City Council meeting.
After losing their 16-year-old son to acute myelogenous leukemia in June 2016, the Johnson family decided to honor his life by making a difference in the community.
Luke Tatsu Johnson
The Long Beach family awarded $9,500 in scholarships to nine Wilson High School students in what would have been Luke Tatsu Johnson graduating class, June 8. They raised more than $30,000 last year,
The nonprofit was established by Luke’s family – mother Rena, father Todd and brother Spencer – in September of last year to honor the life of the teenager who would have graduated this spring.
The foundation is composed of a local board of couples within the Johnson’s Alamitos Heights neighborhood and aims to raise money through golf tournaments to donate to local high school seniors every year. They had their first golf tournament fundraiser last year and their next one will be Oct. 12.
Luke was a “phenomenal” golfer, according to his father, Todd Johnson, who is now the chairman of the Luke Tatsu Johnson Foundation.
Johnson said the nonprofit’s other focus is donating to smaller childhood cancer charities such as Save Our Sick Kids, which the foundation will donate to Saturday, June 16.
According to Johnson, Dr. Tempe Chen, a pediatric infectious disease specialist in Long Beach, helped his son heal from a fungal infection, which helped Luke survive for an extra four to five months.
Johnson will present a big $20,500 check to Chen, Saturday, June 16, at a ceremony with members of the foundation. Chen will receive the donation on behalf of SOS Kids at Miller Children’s and Women’s Hospital in Long Beach.
“We want to raise funds to enrich the lives of others,” Johnson said.
Downey youth nabs silver medal with service work and achieving personal goals
To award a particularly multifaceted youth in the community, Congresswoman Lucille Roybal-Allard decorated Ryan Cho of Downey with the Congressional Award Silver Medal, May 31.
The Congressional Award Program, which is a public-private partnership, was launched to recognize personal goals and challenges achieved by young community members who are aged 14 to 23. Those who choose to participate in the certificate and medal program must set goals in volunteer service, personal development, physical fitness and expedition.
Cho, a 16-year-old Los Alamitos High School student, was recognized for his achievement of reaching more than 100 hours of volunteer service with the Downey Food Help food bank. He also organized several fundraising campaigns for Crops of Love.
Aside from public service, Cho also excelled in the personal development area of the program as he attended Yeda Art Academy and succeeded at improving his artistic skills in drawing, acrylic, watercolor and sculpting. In the physical program area, he excelled at Kendo, recieving the rank of nikyu. For the expedition category, he traveled north to San Francisco.
Those who are interested in participating can sign up anytime online, the minimum age to enter is 13 ½ and all goals must be reached by age 24.
The 2018 BET Awards barely handed out any trophies with big stars like Cardi B, Drake and Kendrick Lamar absent, but the show included superior performances by rising singer H.E.R., rapper Meek Mill and gospel artist Yolanda Adams, who paid tribute to Anita Baker and nearly brought her to tears.
Baker, an eight-time Grammy winner who dominated the R&B charts from the early ’80s to mid-90s, earned the Lifetime Achievement Award on Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The 60-year-old used her speech to encourage the artists in the room to keep music alive.
“I would ask that the music be allowed to play, that singers are allowed to sing, and rappers are allowed to rap, and poets are allowed to rhyme,” said Baker, who also was honored by host Jamie Foxx, Ledisi and Marsha Ambrosius.

H.E.R., whose real name is Gabi Wilson, was impressive as she sang the R&B hit “Focus,” played the electric guitar like a rock star and sang softly during the sweet love song “Best Part,” where she was joined by Daniel Caesar.
Meek Mill, who was released from prison in April, rapped the song “Stay Woke” on a stage transformed into a street corner, featuring hustlers, children and police officers. A mother screams as her child is shot during the powerful performance, and an officer lays an American flag over the body.
Meek Mill also made a statement by wearing a hoodie featuring the face of XXXTentacion, the 20-year-old rapper-singer who died after being shot last week.
“We can’t get used to these types of things. We’re too used to young people getting killed,” Foxx said when speaking about XXXTentacion later in the show.
The Oscar winner told the audience to “try to sneak a message in” their music.
“We got to figure something out,” he said.
Snoop Dogg celebrated 25 years in music, performing the classic songs “What’s My Name” and “Next Episode.” The rapper also performed songs from his recently released gospel album, wearing a choir robe on a stage that looked like a church.
Childish Gambino, whose song and music video “This Is America” tackles racism and gun violence and became a viral hit last month, gave a short, impromptu performance of the song when Foxx brought him onstage.
“Everybody begged me to do a joke about that song. I said that song should not be joked about,” Foxx said.
Foxx kicked off the show rejoicing in the uber success of “Black Panther,” namedropping the records the film has broken and even pulled Michael B. Jordan onstage to recite a line from the film.
“We don’t need a president right now because we got our king,” Foxx said of T’Challa. “(Director) Ryan Coogler gave us our king.”
Foxx entered the arena with a stuffed black panther toy — with a gold chain around its neck — which he handed to Jordan. The film won best movie.
“The film is about our experiences being African-Americans and also captures the experiences of being African,” Coogler said. “It was about tapping into the voice that tells us to be proud of who we are.”
At the end of his speech he told the audience to travel to Africa and learn more about the continent’s history.
SZA, who was the most nominated woman at this year’s Grammys, won best new artist and said she’s “never won anything in front of other people.”
She dedicated the award to those “lost in the world,” saying: “Follow your passion … believe in yourself.”
After the show, BET announced that Kendrick Lamar had won best album for “DAMN.” and best male hip-hop artist. Beyonce won best female pop/R&B artist, while Bruno Mars was named the best male pop/R&B artist.
“Girls Trip” star and comedian Tiffany Haddish, who won best actress and gave her speech in a taped video, also said encouraging words.
“You can achieve anything you want in life,” she said.
DJ Khaled was the leading nominee with six and picked up the first award of the night — best collaboration — for “Wild Thoughts” with Rihanna and Bryson Tiller. He was holding his son on his hip onstage and also used his speech to highlight young people.
“All of y’all are leaders and all of y’all are kings and queens — the future,” he said.
Migos won best group and gave a fun performance that even had Adams reciting the lyrics. J. Cole, Nicki Minaj, Janelle Monae, Miguel, YG, 2 Chainz and Big Sean also performed.
The BET Awards normally hands its Humanitarian Award to one person, but six individuals received the honor Sunday. Dubbed “Humanitarian Heroes,” the network gave awards to James Shaw Jr., who wrestled an assault-style rifle away from a gunman in a Tennessee Waffle House in April; Anthony Borges, the 15-year-old student who was shot five times and is credited with saving the lives of at least 20 other students during February massacre in Florida; Mamoudou Gassama, who scaled an apartment building to save a child dangling from a balcony last month in Paris; Naomi Wadler, an 11-year-old who gave a memorable and influential speech at March for Our Lives; Justin Blackman, the only student to walk out of his high school in North Carolina during the nationwide student walkout to protest gun violence in March; and journalist and activist Shaun King.
Debra Lee, who stepped down as chairman and CEO of BET last month after 32 years at the network, earned the Ultimate Icon Award.
“The power of black culture is unmatched. It’s beautiful. It’s amazing. It’s everything. It’s us,” she said.
She ended her speech quoting former U.S. President Barack Obama, calling him “our commander in chief,” which drew loud applause.
“And, it’s Debra Lee, out,” she said as she dropped her imaginary microphone.

NEW YORK — The Grammy Awards are extending the number of nominees in its top categories from five to eight.
The Recording Academy told its members in a letter released Tuesday that the nominee increase “will better reflect the large number of entries in these categories and allow voters greater flexibility when selecting this year’s best recordings.”
Album of the year, song of the year, record of the year and best new artist are the categories that will be affected. The change comes months after the Grammys were criticized for the lack of women nominees at this year’s awards show.
For years, the organization has been called out for the lack of diversity when it comes to winners in the top four categories, where awards tend to go to acts in the pop, rock or country music genres, instead of hip-hop or R&B stars, even in years where Kanye West, Eminem and Mariah Carey were predicted to win.
Another change at the organization is with Neil Portnow, the president and CEO of The Recording Academy, who will step down next year. Portnow, who has led the academy since 2002, was criticized at this year’s Grammys when he said women need to “step up” when asked about the lack of female winners backstage. Only two female performers won awards during the live telecast.
Bruno Mars won album, song and record of the year at this year’s show, while Alessia Cara was named best new artist.
The Recording Academy and Portnow individually came in for considerable criticism from various corners following the 2018 award show in January.
Musicians including Pink and Sheryl Crow tweeted harsh reactions to the dominance of males among Grammy nominees.
I wish the #Grammys would return to female/male categories. Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock when most every category is filled with men? I'm not sure it is about women needing to “step up”, (as said by the male in charge). #GrammysSoMalehttps://t.co/v1rvbT3pCC
Crow on Twitter argued that the Grammys should reinstate separate male and female categories. In a large restructuring and trimming of categories, the Grammys in 2011 essentially did away with divisions by gender.
“Who will young girls be inspired by to pick up a guitar and rock when most every category is filled with men?” asked Crow.
Following a one-year absence from contention, HBO’s “Game of Thrones” has returned with a leading 22 nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD — After a one-year absence from contention, HBO’s “Game of Thrones” returned with a vengeance to the Emmy scene Thursday, scoring a leading 22 nominations for the 70th Primetime Emmy Awards, including a nod for best drama series.
Last year’s drama winner, Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” was nominated again for the prize, along with Netflix’s “The Crown” and “Stranger Things”; NBC’s “This is Us”; HBO’s “Westworld”; and FX’s “The Americans.”
“Game of Thrones” won for outstanding drama series in 2015 and 2016 but wasn’t eligible for the 2017 award because its only new episodes airing during the eligibility period were part of the body of work considered for its 2016 victory.

“This Is Us” last year became the first nominee in the category from the four major broadcast networks since CBS’ “The Good Wife” in 2011. “The Good Wife” is the most recent series from a major broadcast network to receive back-to-back nominations in the category.
A series from the major broadcast networks has not won for outstanding drama series since Fox’s “24” in 2006.
“Westworld,” HBO’s sci-fi drama about a Western theme park populated by self-aware robots, earned 21 nominations Thursday, as did NBC’s long-running sketch comedy series “Saturday Night Live.”
HBO’s comedy series “Veep,” which has won the Emmy for outstanding comedy series the past three years, was not eligible for a nomination this year. The show delayed production of its final season until 2019 while its star, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, underwent treatment for breast cancer.
Nominated for outstanding comedy series were FX’s “Atlanta”; HBO’s “Barry,” “Silicon Valley” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm”; ABC’s “Black-ish”; Netflix’s “GLOW” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”; and Prime Video’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Notably absent from the list was ABC’s “Modern Family,” which failed to land a nomination for the first time in its nine seasons. The show won in the category five straight years, tying the record set by NBC’s “Frasier” from 1994-98.
“Saturday Night Live” was nominated for outstanding variety sketch series, along with “At Home with Amy Sedaris,” “Drunk History,” “I Love You America with Sarah Silverman,” “Portlandia” and “Tracey Ullman’s Show.”
Netflix led all platforms with 112 Emmy nominations, followed by HBO with 108 and NBC with 78.
Sterling K. Brown, who won the Emmy for lead actor in a drama series last year for “This is Us,” will look to repeat his win. He was nominated along with Jason Bateman of Netflix’s “Ozark”; Ed Harris and Jeffrey Wright of “Westworld”; Matthew Rhys of “The Americans”; and Milo Ventimiglia of “This is Us.”
Bateman also earned a nod for directing an episode of “Ozark,” while Brown was also nominated for a guest appearance he made on the Fox comedy “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”

She will square off against Tatiana Maslany of BBC America’s “Orphan Black”; Claire Foy of Netflix’s “The Crown”; Sandra Oh of BBC America’s “Killing Eve”; Keri Russell of “The Americans”; and Evan Rachel Wood of “Westworld.”
With Louis-Dreyfus out of the running this year for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series, a new winner will be crowned in the category. Allison Janney, who recent won an Oscar for her supporting role in “I, Tonya,” leads the list of nominees for her work in CBS’ “Mom.” Also battling for the prize will be Pamela Adlon of FX’s “Better Things,” Rachel Brosnahan of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” Issa Rae of HBO’s “Insecure,” Tracee Ellis Ross of “Black-ish” and Lily Tomlin of Netflix’s “Grace and Frankie.”
Donald Glover will look to earn his second straight Emmy for his lead role in the comedy “Atlanta.” Also nominated were Anthony Anderson of “Black-ish,” Ted Danson of NBC’s “The Good Place,” Larry David of “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” Bill Hader of “Barry” and William H. Macy of Showtime’s “Shameless.”
Glover was a multiple nominee Thursday, also scoring nods for directing and writing for “Atlanta” and for his guest appearance on “Saturday Night Live.” Hader was also nominated for his guest work on “SNL,” and also earned nods for writing and directing on “Barry.”
Nominations for outstanding limited series went to TNT’s “The Alienist,” FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” National Geographic’s “Genius: Picasso,” Netflix’s “Godless” and Showtime’s “Patrick Melrose.”
HBO earned three nods in the television movie category, for “Fahrenheit 451,” “Paterno” and “The Tale.” Also nominated were Lifetime’s “Flint” and Netflix’s “USS Callister (Black Mirror).”
Four-time Emmy winner Edie Falco was nominated for best actress in a limited series or TV movie for her work in NBC’s “Law & Order True Crime: The Menendez Murders.” Also nominated were Jessical Biel for USA’s “The Sinner,” Laura Dern for HBO’s “The Tale,” Michelle Dockery for Netflix’s “Godless,” Regina King for Netflix’s “Seven Seconds” and Sarah Paulson for “American Horror Story: Cult.”
For lead actor in a limited series or TV movie, nominations went to Antonio Banderas for “Genius: Picasso,” Darren Criss for “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” Benedict Cumberbatch for “Patrick Melrose,” Jeff Daniels for Hulu’s “The Looming Tower,” John Legend for NBC’s “Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert” and Jesse Plemons for “USS Callister (Black Mirror).”
CBS’ “The Amazing Race” was again among the nominees for outstanding reality-competition program. It had been nominated each of the preceding 16 years the category has been in existence. It won each of the first seven years, and again in 2011, 2012 and 2014.
Last year’s winner, NBC’s “The Voice,” was also nominated, along with NBC’s “American Ninja Warrior”; Lifetime’s “Project Runway”; VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race”; and Bravo’s “Top Chef.”
The biggest rule changes this year are the restructuring of the outstanding variety special and special class categories and the expansion of several existing Emmy categories into two new and distinct categories, including those involving costuming, nonfiction programming and sound editing.
The confusion of defining special class prompted the Television Academy to have separate categories for outstanding live variety special and outstanding pre-recorded variety special.
Samira Wiley from “The Handmaid’s Tale” and Ryan Eggold, who stars in the new NBC medical drama “New Amsterdam,” joined Television Academy Chairman and CEO Hayma Washington and President and COO Maury McIntyre in announcing the nominees in the top categories at the Television Academy’s North Hollywood headquarters.
The 70th annual Primetime Emmy Awards, which honor programming initially airing between 6 p.m. and 2 a.m. from June 1, 2017, to May 31, 2018, will be presented Sept. 17 at the Microsoft Theater.
Colin Jost and Michael Che, anchors of the “Weekend Update” segment on “Saturday Night Live” and co-head writers of NBC’s late-night sketch comedy series, will be the hosts.
The NBC Emmys telecast will be executive produced by “Saturday Night Live” creator and executive producer Lorne Michaels and include what the network is describing as “special appearances from additional ‘Saturday Night Live’ cast members.”
The bulk of the awards from the Primetime Emmys’ 122 categories will be presented at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards Sept. 8-9, also at the Microsoft Theater.
After receiving over 130 nominations for the second annual Hospitality Awards, the panel for the Long Beach Hospitality Alliance has selected 44 finalists.

Singled out for advancements in clean air technologies, improving public health and reducing greenhouse gases while growing the Southern California economy, nine companies and individuals received awards for their work on Friday in Los Angeles.
The South Coast Air Quality Management District held its 30th Annual Clean Air Awards ceremony at the Grand Hotel in downtown Los Angeles, honoring the following recipients:
• Dr. Keith Black, a professor of neurosurgery and director of the Johnnie L. Cochran, Jr. Brain Tumor Center at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center did extensive work in establishing a link between coarse air pollutants — such as fine particulates found in diesel exhaust — and brain tumor development.
His team at Cedars-Sinai also found that exposure to particulates may cause genetic changes in the brains of laboratory rats.
Black, a surgeon, has performed more than 6,000 operations and has published 300 peer-reviewed scientific papers.
• GRID Alternatives Inland Empire and its affiliates train 16-24 year-olds how to install solar panels while providing job training.
Their program, Solar Futures, brings college students during spring and summer breaks to low-income communities in Southern California to build solar and other clean-energy projects.
• Cal State Los Angeles’ EcoCAR 3’s Advanced Vehicle Training Competition, with sponsorships from GM and the U.S. Department of Energy, sparked interest in fossil-fuel alternatives for cars and other vehicles.
The four-year competition from 2014-2018 involved a redesign of a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro into an ultimate, energy-efficient vehicle. The student team also built a plug-in hybrid for the police service.
• Speaking of electric cars, Tesla was awarded for its zero-emission, all-electric truck, which has a range of 300-500 miles.
Tesla’s clean air cars, models S, X and 3, have saved more than 3.5 million tons of carbon dioxide so far. CO2 is a major contributor to greenhouse gases, which stay trapped in the Earth’s atmosphere for decades heating up the planet and altering climate events.
• In the area of cleaner trains, Metrolink, the six-county regional commuter rail service, upgraded its fleet of diesel-powered locomotives to become the first passenger rail service to operate Tier 4 F125 locomotives.
These cleaner-burning engines reduce emissions by 85 percent with 57 percent more horsepower. The changes in its fleet removes 13.75 tons of emissions per year, or equivalent to 783 passenger vehicles annually.
• State Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, was honored for his bill, SB 350, signed into law, which requires 50 percent of the electricity consumed in the state to come from renewable sources by 2030 and 100 percent by 2045.
• The city of Paramount was honored for addressing high levels of hexavalent chromium detected by the SCAQMD near metal-processing companies.
The city created an action project that included more code enforcement to aid AQMD inspectors and the launch of ParamountEnvironment.org to keep the public informed.
• As for electric buses, newcomer Proterra, with a factory in City of Industry, built zero-emission buses for Foothill Transit in West Covina and other transit agencies in the country.
Protera in 2017 set the world record for driving the longest distance ever on a single battery charge — an electric bus drove 1,101 miles with 660 kilowatt-hours of energy storage.
• Los Angeles World Airports, owner and operator of LAX and Van Nuys Airport, adopted a strategic plan with sustainability as a main objective.
The plan targets reductions in greenhouse gases to below 1990 levels; expansion of electric vehicle use; use of airplane biofuel and employee rideshare programs and the FlyAway bus service.

Supporting actor nominations went to Mahershala Ali of “Green Book,” Timothee Chalamet for “Beautiful Boy,” Adam Driver of “BlacKkKlansman,” Richard E. Grant for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?” and Sam Rockwell of “Vice.”
Battling Cooper for best-director honors are Alfonso Cuaron for “Roma,” Peter Farrelly for “Green Book,” Spike Lee for “BlacKkKlansman” and Adam McKay for “Vice.”
For animated films, nominations went to “Incredibles 2,” “Isle of Dogs,” “Mirai,” “Ralph Breaks the Internet” and “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”
On the television side of the awards, the major broadcast networks were shut out of the best-drama-series category. FX landed two shows in the category — “The Americans” and “Pose.” Also nominated were Netflix’s “Bodyguard,” Prime Video’s “Homecoming” and BBC America’s “Killing Eve.”
Last year’s winner in the category, Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale,” failed to earn a nomination this year. But the show’s star, Elisabeth Moss, will look to repeat her win for best drama series actress. Also nominated were Caitriona Balfe of “Outlander,” Sandra Oh of “Killing Eve,” Julia Roberts for “Homecoming” and Keri Russell for “The Americans.”
Russell’s co-star, Matthew Rhys, was nominated for best drama series actor, along with Jason Bateman of “Ozark,” Stephan James for “Homecoming,” Richard Madden for “Bodyguard” and Billy Porter for “Pose.”
NBC’s “The Good Place” earned a nomination for best comedy series, but it will face still competition from Prime Video’s Emmy-winning “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” HBO’s “Barry,” Showtime’s “Kidding” and Netflix’s “The Kominsky Method.”
Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan will look to repeat last year’s Globe win for best actress in a comedy series for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She’ll be squaring off with Kristen Bell of “The Good Place,” Candice Bergen of “Murphy Brown,” Alison Brie of “GLOW” and Debra Messing of “Will & Grace.”
Sacha Baron Cohen earned a best comedy-series-actor nod for his headline-grabbing series “Who is America.” Jim Carrey was nominated for his work in “Kidding,” along with Michael Douglas for “The Kominsky Method,” Donald Glover for “Atlanta” and Bill Hader for “Barry.”
Nominations for best limited series of TV movie went to TNT’s “The Alienist,” FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story,” Showtime’s “Escape at Dannemora,” HBO’s “Sharp Objects” and Prime Video’s “A Very English Scandal.”
The Golden Globe nominations were announced in an early morning event at the Beverly Hilton. The awards, presented by the roughly 90-member Hollywood Foreign Press Association, will be handed out Jan. 6, also at the Beverly Hilton. The ceremony will be co-hosted by actress Sandra Oh of “Killing Eve” and Andy Samberg of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine.”

NEW YORK — The music of “Black Panther,” with Kendrick Lamar in its starring role, officially owns the 2019 Grammy Awards, where women are heavily represented in the major four categories following a year where their presence was barely felt.
The Recording Academy announced Friday that Lamar is the top contender with eight nominations, including seven for his musical companion to the Marvel Studios juggernaut starring Chadwick Boseman and Michael B. Jordan. “Black Panther: The Album, Music From and Inspired By” is up for album of the year, a category where women make up five of the eight nominees. Cardi B, Kacey Musgraves, Janelle Monae, H.E.R. and Brandi Carlile also are up for the top prize, along with Drake and Post Malone.

The upcoming Grammys is the first where the academy extended its top four categories from five nominees to eight.
The “Panther” nomination would give Lamar a chance to win album of the year after losing three times. His most recently loss was in February when his critically acclaimed “DAMN” fell short to Bruno Mars’ “24K Magic,” though Lamar’s project would go on to win a Pulitzer Prize for music two months later, making him the first non-classical or jazz artist to win the prestigious honor.
Lamar’s Top 10 hit, the SZA-assisted “All the Stars,” is nominated for both record and song of the year (a songwriter’s award). Five other songs scored nominations in both categories, including Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper’s “Shallow” from “A Star Is Born”; Childish Gambino’s “This Is America”; Drake’s “God’s Plan”; Zedd, Maren Morris and Grey’s “The Middle”; and Carlile’s “The Joke.”
Ella Mai’s “Boo’d Up” and Shawn Mendes’ “In My Blood” earned song of the year nods, while Post Malone’s “Rockstar” and Cardi B’s “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny and J Balvin, round out the nominees for record of the year.
Following Lamar, Drake — the year’s most successful artist — earned seven nominations. Though nominated for album of the year, he was surprisingly shut out of best rap album, where his rival Pusha T earned a nomination.

Drake’s frequent collaborator, producer Boi-1Da, earned six nods, as did Carlile, who also scored nominations in the American Roots category.
Cardi B, Gaga, H.E.R., Morris, Gambino, producer Sounwave and engineer Mike Bozzi scored five nominations each.
The nominees for the 2019 Grammys mark a departure from this year’s show, where women were underrepresented in the top four categories. Of the eight best new artist nominees, six are women, including H.E.R., Chloe x Halle, Dua Lipa, Margo Price, Bebe Rexha and Jorja Smith. Rock band Greta Van Fleet and country singer Luke Combs also earned nominations.
Recording Academy CEO Neil Portnow was criticized earlier this year at the Grammys when he said women need to “step up” when asked about the lack of women in the top categories, which he later acknowledged was a “poor choice of words.” It forced the academy to launch a new task force focused on inclusion and diversity; Portnow also announced he would be leaving the academy in 2019.
“In any given year there could be more folks from one area or one gender or one genre or one ethnicity that are making recordings and being successful with them than in another year. So, in many ways we’re just a reflection of that,” Portnow said in an interview with The Associated Press. “This year clearly there were many women not only making music but making great music and making music that resonates with our peer voters in terms of excellence, and so that certainly is at the forefront.”
Another milestone for women is in the non-classical producer of the year category, where songwriting extraordinaire Linda Perry earned a nomination. She’s just the seventh woman ever nominated for prize and first since 2004.
“Linda represents what we hope becomes the norm, which is the elimination of gender bias in producing and engineering in our industry,” Portnow said.
Perry will compete with Pharrell Williams, Boi-1Da, Larry Klein and Kanye West, the only nomination he earned.
Taylor Swift, a two-time album of the year winner, also only earned one nomination — her “reputation” album is up best pop vocal album. Justin Timberlake, whose “Man of the Woods” albums flopped earlier this year, picked up a nod for “Say Something,” his collaboration with Chris Stapleton.
Beyonce and Jay-Z, billed as The Carters, as well Ariana Grande, didn’t earn any of the big nominations. The Carters earned two nods in the R&B category along with best music video, while Grande picked up two nods in pop.
Artists who were completely snubbed include Carrie Underwood, Sam Smith, Migos, Kane Brown, Nicki Minaj, XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD, whose “Lucid Dreams” was one of the year’s biggest hits.
Some acts scored their first nominations ever, including Florida Georgia Line, whose megahit “Meant to Be” with Rexha is up best country duo/group performance. Camila Cabello, Malone, Mendes, Dan + Shay and DJ Mustard are also first-time nominees.
Gaga, who earned acting and music Golden Globe nominations Thursday, picked up four Grammy nominations for “Shallow,” while “Joanne” is up for best pop solo performance. The soundtrack for “A Star Is Born” was released after Grammy eligibility, though “Shallow” was released in time and also earned Cooper two nominations.
Other famous faces outside of music to earn nominations include Tiffany Haddish and former U.S. president Jimmy Carter, both up for best spoken word album. Dave Chappelle, Chris Rock, Fred Armisen, Jim Gaffigan and Patton Oswalt are up for best comedy album.
Mac Miller, who died in September, earned a nomination for best rap album with “Swimming.” Chris Cornell, who died last year, is up for best rock performance with “When Bad Does Good.”
Demi Lovato, who relapsed after six years of sobriety and was hospitalized for an overdose in July, earned a nomination for best pop duo/group performance for “Fall In Line,” her duet with Christina Aguilera.
Those who earned four nominations are Musgraves, Malone, PJ Morton, Dave Cobb, Ludwig Goransson, Noah Shebib and SZA, who earned a Golden Globe nomination alongside Lamar for “All the Stars” on Thursday.
Lamar has won 12 Grammys throughout his career. Though seven of his eight nominations come from “Black Panther,” he also earned a nod for co-writing Jay Rock’s “Win,” up for best rap song.
The 2019 Grammys will hand out awards in its 84 categories live from the Staples Center in Los Angeles on Feb. 10, 2019.
Here is a complete list of nominations announced today for the 61st Grammy Awards, which will be presented at Staples Center Feb. 10, 2019:

WEST HOLLYWOOD — Bradley Cooper’s directorial debut “A Star Is Born” scored a leading four film nominations Wednesday for the 25th annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, while the comedy series “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and the drama “Ozark” led the television categories, earning four nods each.
“A Star is Born” earned nominations for outstanding ensemble cast — the SAG Awards equivalent of best picture — along with best actor and actress nods for Cooper and Lady Gaga, and a supporting-actor nomination for Sam Elliott.
Also nominated for the ensemble-cast prize were “Black Panther,” “BlacKkKlansman,” “Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Crazy Rich Asians.”

Cooper will compete for best actor honors with Christian Bale of “Vice,” Rami Malek for “Bohemian Rhapsody,” Viggo Mortensen for “Green Book” and John David Washington of “BlacKkKlansman.”
Joining Lady Gaga in the best actress category were Emily Blunt for “Mary Poppins Returns,” Glenn Close for “The Wife,” Olivia Colman for “The Favourite” and Melissa McCarthy for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”
Blunt also scored a nomination in the supporting-actress category for her work in the thriller “A Quiet Place.” Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz were both nominated for their supporting work in “The Favourite,” along with Amy Adams of “Vice” and Margo Robbie for “Mary Queen of Scots.”
Mahershala Ali earned a supporting-actor nomination for his work with Mortensen in “Green Book.” Timothee Chalamet was nominated for his role in “Beautiful Boy,” along with Elliott for “A Star Is Born,” Adam Driver for “BlacKkKlansman” and Richard E. Grant for “Can You Ever Forgive Me?”

Rachel Brosnahan and Alex Borstein were both nominated for best actress in a comedy series for “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” At the Emmy Awards in September, Brosnahan won for best actress and Borstein won for supporting actress, but the SAG Awards do not have categories for supporting performances in TV series.
“Grace and Frankie” co-stars Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin were also nominated for outstanding comedy series actress, with Alison Brie of “GLOW” rounding out the category.
Bill Hader and Henry Winkler, who won best actor and supporting-actor Emmys, respectively, for their work in “Barry,” were nominated for the SAG Award for comedy series actor. Alan Arkin and Michael Douglas were both nominated for their roles in “The Kominsky Method,” as was Tony Shaloub of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
On the drama side, Netflix’s “Ozark” led the way with nominations for outstanding drama series cast, best actor for Jason Bateman and best actress nods for Julia Garner and Laura Linney.
The show will compete for best drama-series cast with FX’s “The Americans,” AMC’s “Better Call Saul,” Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” and NBC’s “This Is Us.”
Sterling K. Brown of “This Is Us” was nominated for best actor in a drama series — giving him a total of three SAG nominations, along with his nods as part of the ensemble cast of “This Is Us” and the ensemble cast of the film “Black Panther.”
Also vying for best drama series actor are Bateman, Joseph Fiennes of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” John Krasinski of “Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan” and Bob Odenkirk for “Better Call Saul.”
Garner and Linney were joined in the best drama series actress category by Elisabeth Moss for “The Handmaid’s Tale,” Sandra Oh for BBC America’s “Killing Eve” and Robin Wright for Netflix’s “House of Cards.”
Amy Adams (“Vice”) and Emma Stone (“The Favourite”) also scored nominations for best actress in a TV movie or limited series for their respective roles in HBO’s “Sharp Objects” and Netflix’s “Maniac.” Patricia Clarkson was also nominated for “Sharp Objects,” with other nods going to Patricia Arquette for Showtime’s “Escape and Dannemora” and Penelope Cruz for FX’s “The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story.”
Cruz’s co-star, Darren Criss, was nominated for best actor in a TV movie or limited series for his work in the FX production. Also competing will be Antonio Banderas for his work in National Geographic’s “Genius: Picasso,” Hugh Grant for Prime Video’s “A Very English Scandal,” Anthony Hopkins for Prime Video’s “King Lear” and Bill Pullman for USA Network’s “The Sinner.”
The SAG nominations were announced in West Hollywood by actress/singer Awkwafina, who appeared in “Crazy Rich Asians,” and Laverne Cox of “Orange is the New Black.”
The SAG Awards ceremony will be held Jan. 27 at the Shrine Auditorium. Last year, the show was hosted by Kristen Bell — the first time the ceremony has ever had a host. There was no word on whether a host will be tabbed to lead January’s event.

NORTH HOLLYWOOD — Primetime Emmy voters will no longer view TV shows on DVDs as they cast their ballots starting in 2020, the Television Academy announced Friday.
DVD “screeners” that are used to promote programming for studios and production houses are currently being delivered to all 25,000 Academy members as they nominate and vote for television programming for the annual Primetime Emmy awards on Sept. 22, 2019.
But after this year’s show, the screeners will be eliminated in an effort to save money and help the environment.
In place of the DVD screeners, programming will be distributed on digital platforms hosted by the production and distribution entities or on the Television Academy’s internet viewing platform. Delivery details will be provided in the future. Academy spokesperson Jim Yaeger said that all members will be “accommodated.”
Officials say the move could save the television industry millions of dollars as studios and production houses will no longer have to purchase and distribute DVDs. The specific amount of savings is still unclear, according to Yaeger.
“This is a wonderful opportunity for the Academy to take an important first step to move the industry forward in an area of great concern for both our partners and members, reducing costs and delivering tremendous positive impact for the environment,” Television Academy Chairman Frank Scherma said. “Television has an ever-expanding role as the world’s most innovative and popular entertainment medium, and this decision embraces the evolution of viewing practices and preferences of the Academy’s 25,000 members and the industry at large.”
A statement by the Television Academy said its board of governors adopted the plan so the organization could “proactively and effectively communicate the change throughout the industry — helping partners and vendors involved in Emmy Award planning and promotion understand and assist in the transition. The new policy will go into effect following the 71st Emmy Awards on Sunday, Sept. 22, 2019.”
NEW YORK — Oscar voters on Tuesday showered Alfonso Cuaron’s “Roma” and Yorgos Lanthimos’ “The Favourite” with a leading 10 nominations to the 91st Academy Awards, while two dominant but contentious Hollywood forces — Netflix and Marvel — each scored their first best picture nomination.
Though many expected “A Star Is Born,” Bradley Cooper’s tear-inducing revival of one of Hollywood’s most oft-remade show-business myths, to top nominations, Cooper was surprisingly overlooked as director and the academy instead put its fullest support behind a pair of smaller films by international directors.

With “Roma,” Netflix has scored its first best picture nomination, something the streaming giant has dearly sought. Cuaron tied the record for most decorated Oscar nominee ever for one film with four nods for his black-and-white, memory-drenched masterpiece. The Mexican-born director earned nods for direction, cinematography, original screenplay and best picture. Only Orson Welles (“Citizen Kane”) and Warren Beatty (“Reds,” ”Heaven Can Wait”) have landed four.
Lanthimos’ period romp “The Favourite” resounded most in the acting categories thanks to its trio of actresses: Olivia Colman in the best actress category, and Rachel Weisz and Emma Stone in supporting.
Along with “Roma” and “The Favourite,” the nominees for best picture are: “A Star Is Born,” ”Green Book,” ”Black Panther,” ”BlacKkKlansman,” ”Bohemian Rhapsody” and “Vice.”
Marvel also joined the club with “Black Panther,” the first superhero movie ever nominated for best picture. Despite the overwhelming popularity of comic book movies, they had previously been shunned from Hollywood’s top honor, to the consternation of some industry insiders. After “The Dark Knight” was snubbed, the academy expanded the best picture category from five to up to 10 nominees.
There has also been some resistance among some academy members to Netflix films since the company typically bypasses movie theaters. Steve Spielberg has said Netflix films are more like TV movies and deserve an Emmy, not an Oscar. Netflix altered its policy for “Roma” and two other films, premiering them first in theaters.
Spike Lee was nominated for his first directing Oscar 30 years after a writing nod for 1989’s “Do the Right Thing.” Notably left out of the category was Bradley Cooper, whose “A Star Is Born” landed eight nominations, including best actress for Lady Gaga, but was overlooked for Cooper’s direction. The other nominees were Lanthimos, Cuaron, Pawel Pawlikowski (“Cold War”) and Adam McKay (“Vice”).
On behalf of the Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences, presenters Kumail Nanjiani and Tracee Ellis Ross unveiled nominations Tuesday morning from Los Angeles’ Samuel Goldwyn Theatre.
The nominees for best actor are Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale (“Vice”), Willem Dafoe (“At Eternity’s Gate”), Rami Malek (“Bohemian Rhapsody”) and Viggo Mortensen (“Green Book”).
Up for best actress are Yalitza Aparicio (“Roma”), Glenn Close (“The Wife”), Olivia Colman (“The Favourite”), Lady Gaga and Melissa McCarthy (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”).
The nominees for best supporting actress are Amy Adams (“Vice”), Marina De Tavira (“Roma”), Regina King (“If Beale Street Could Talk”), Emma Stone (“The Favourite”) and Rachel Weisz (“The Favourite”). Tavira was something a surprise, while Claire Foy of “First Man” was left out.
Up for best supporting actor are: Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”), Adam Driver (“BlacKkKlansman”), Sam Elliott (“A Star Is Born”), Richard E. Grant (“Can You Ever Forgive Me?”) and Sam Rockwell (“Vice”). Notably snubbed was Timothy Chalamet (“Beautiful Boy”).
The lead-up to Tuesday’s nominations was rocky for both the film academy and some of the contending movies. Shortly after being announced as host, Kevin Hart was forced to withdraw over years-old homophobic tweets that the comedian eventually apologized for. That has left the Oscars, one month before the Feb. 24 ceremony, without an emcee, and likely to stay that way.
Some film contenders, like Peter Farrelly’s “Green Book” and the Freddie Mercury biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody,” have suffered waves upon waves of backlash, even as their awards tallies have mounted. On Saturday, “Green Book” won the top award from the Producers Guild, an honor that has been a reliable Oscar barometer. In the 10 years since the Oscars expanded its best-picture ballot, the PGA winner has gone on to win best picture eight times.
The season’s steadiest contender — Cooper’s “A Star Is Born” — looked potentially unbeatable until it got beat. Despite an enviable string of awards and more than $400 million in worldwide box office, Cooper’s lauded remake was almost totally ignored at the Golden Globes. Still, “A Star Is Born” was the sole film to land top nominations from virtually every guild group.
The academy is reportedly planning to go host-less following Hart’s exit, something it has tried only once before in an infamous 1989 telecast that featured a lengthy musical number with Rob Lowe and Snow White.
The Oscars last year hit a new ratings low, declining 20 percent and averaging 26.5 million viewers. Though ratings for award shows have generally been dropping, the downturn prompted the academy to revamp this year’s telecast. Though initial plans for a new popular film category were scuttled, the academy is planning to present some awards off-air and keep the broadcast to three hours.The list of nominees for the 91st Academy Awards

LOS ANGELES — Nominations will be announced Friday for the GLAAD Media Awards, but the Queen biopic “Bohemian Rhapsody” won’t be among the best-picture hopefuls, with the LGBTQ-advocacy organization having pulled the movie from contention due to sexual misconduct allegations against director Bryan Singer.
Nominations for the awards, which honor films for fair and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues, will be announced during the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah. The awards will be presented March 28 in Beverly Hills.
GLAAD officials issued a statement Thursday saying “Bohemian Rhapsody” will not be considered for the “outstanding film — wide release” category in light of the allegations made against Singer in a story published this week in the Atlantic. The story includes allegations by unnamed men who claim they had sex with Singer when they were underage.
Singer issued a statement Wednesday saying the story was partly written “by a homophobic journalist who has a bizarre obsession with me.” He criticized the Atlantic for stooping “to this low standard of journalistic integrity.”
GLAAD officials said the organization “has made the difficult decision” to remove “Bohemian Rhapsody” from contention for its top film award.
“This week’s story in The Atlantic documenting unspeakable harms endured by young men and teenage boys brought to light a reality that cannot be ignored or even tacitly rewarded,” according to GLAAD. “Singer’s response to the Atlantic story wrongfully used ‘homophobia’ to deflect from sexual assault allegations, and GLAAD urges the media and the industry at large to not gloss over the fact that survivors of sexual assault should be put first.”
“Bohemian Rhapsody” earned five Oscar nominations on Tuesday, including best picture and a best actor nod for Rami Malek for his portrayal of Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. The film won the Golden Globe for best drama.
Singer was fired from the movie near the end of filming, with Singer saying he needed to leave the set to care for his ailing mother. He was replaced by Dexter Fletcher.
GLAAD officials said the impact of “Bohemian Rhapsody” on the community is “undeniable.”
“We believe, however, that we must send a clear and unequivocal message to LGBTQ youth and all survivors of sexual assault that GLAAD and our community will stand with survivors and will not be silent when it comes to protecting them from those who would do them harm,” according to GLAAD.
