attorney dui florida: How ‘The Odyssey’ Might Outdo ‘Oppenheimer’ at the Oscars

There are 231 days until the 2027 Academy Awards (they’re scheduled for March 14, if you want to check my math). Does that mean it’s too early to start thinking about this year’s Oscars contenders? If you said “yes,” you must be new here—VF’s Rebecca Ford was mulling the next awards cycle as the crew from One Battle After Another was still clutching gold statues on the Dolby Theatre’s stage. Right now, Rebecca’s mind is on The Odyssey, which she believes might take it all. Here are her arguments in its favor.

Also golden: the jewelry Van Cleef & Arpels has long crafted in homage to ancient Egyptian art. Now the luxury company is unveiling a 180-piece collection in tandem with the opening of the new Grand Egyptian Museum. Daisy Shaw-Ellis has the sparkling scoop.

Always one to spot an emerging trend, Savannah Walsh traces for us the ways creatives such as Olivia Rodrigo, Gracie Abrams, and Phoebe Bridgers are managing their disquietude while also making some ear-catching hits.

Rounding out today’s recommended reading: Lady Helen Taylor offers style inspo for summer wedding guests; Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and their kids visit Princess Diana’s childhood home; and Clara Molot speaks with investors at Harpoon Ventures, a Trump-adjacent defense-tech and surveillance-backing firm that says it’s creating a “cool kids’ club where you’re only in if you’re building for America.” Can a club be cool if the superlative is self-designated? You’ll have to read Clara’s report to find out.
