La Stampa - News, inchieste e approfondimenti La Stampa: Oscar 2026, Barbara Streisand ricorda Robert Redford: "Riflessivo e audace, un cowboy intellettuale"

Il ricordo di Barbara Streisand dedicato a Robert Redford è stato uno dei momenti più intensi della cerimonia degli Oscar. La grande artista ha ripercorso la lunga carriera dell'attore, sottolineandone l'impegno nella difesa della libertà di stampa, nella tutela dell'ambiente e nel sostegno alle nuove voci del cinema. "Bob aveva fegato, sullo schermo e fuori", ha detto con la voce rotta dalla commozione. Poi ha intonato The Way We Were, la canzone vincitrice dell'Oscar tratta dal film del 1973 Come eravamo, diretto da Sydney Pollack e interpretato dai due. "Il mio cowboy intellettuale mi manca più che mai, anche se adorava prendermi in giro", ha aggiunto. Streisand ha ricordato anche la loro ultima telefonata: "Mi disse: 'Babs, ti voglio un bene dell'anima e te ne vorrò per sempre. Nell'ultimo biglietto che gli scrissi, conclusi con 'Anch'io ti voglio bene e lo firmai 'Babs'", ha concluso. Segui la diretta

Oscars 2026, Barbara Streisand remembers Robert Redford: “Reflective and daring, an intellectual cowboy”

Barbara Streisand’s tribute to Robert Redford was one of the most intense moments of the Academy Awards ceremony. The great artist recounted the actor’s long career, highlighting his commitment to defending freedom of the press, protecting the environment, and supporting new voices in cinema. “Bob had guts, on screen and off,” she said, her voice broken with emotion. Then she sang “The Way We Were,” the winning Oscar song from the 1973 film *Like a Beginning*, directed by Sydney Pollack and starring the two of them. “I miss my intellectual cowboy more than ever, even though he loved to tease me,” she added. Streisand also recalled their last phone call: “He said to me: ‘Babs, I love you with all my soul, and I will always love you. In the last letter I wrote to him, I concluded with ‘I love you too and I signed it ‘Babs’,” she concluded. Follow the live broadcast.

Il Fatto Quotidiano: L’attore palestinese Motaz Malhees non parteciperà agli Oscar: “Non posso entrare negli Usa”

Motaz Malhees non sarà presente alla cerimonia degli Oscar, in programma il 15 marzo. L’attore – tra i protagonisti del film “La voce di Hind Rajab” (candidato a Miglior film internazionale) di Kaouther Ben Hania – ha pubblicato un post su Instagram in cui annuncia che non gli “è permesso entrare negli Stati Uniti perché sono un cittadino palestinese. Fa male ma questa è la verità“, scrive l’attore, che sottolinea: “Puoi bloccare un passaporto, ma non una voce. Sono palestinese e resto in piedi con orgoglio e dignità. Sarò lì con lo spirito. La nostra storia è più grande di ogni ostacolo e verrà ascoltata”.
Vincitore del Leone d’Argento all’82esima Mostra del Cinema di Venezia, “La voce di Hind Rajab” riporta lo spettatore al 29 gennaio 2024, quando i volontari della Mezzaluna Rossa ricevono una chiamata di emergenza. Una bambina di sei anni è intrappolata in un’auto sotto attacco a Gaza e implora di essere salvata. Mentre cercano di tenerla al telefono, i soccorritori fanno tutto il possibile per farle arrivare un’ambulanza. Il suo nome era Hind Rajab. La proiezione a Venezia è stata accolta da oltre venti minuti di applausi, con un impatto fortissimo sulla platea anche grazie alla scelta della regista tunisina di utilizzare la vera registrazione della telefonata.
“Ho deciso di fare l’attore dopo l’assassinio del mio amico. Non per la fama, i riflettori o il lusso, ma per essere un messaggero che diffonde la verità sul mio Paese e il mio popolo. Perché sembra che a nessuno importi”, aveva dichiarato Motaz Malhees a ottobre 2025 a ilfattoquotidiano.it. “Solo negli ultimi due anni il mondo ha iniziato a rendersi conto dell’incubo in cui viviamo, ed è triste. È da 77 anni che i palestinesi sono colonizzati, sottoposti a pulizia etnica, uccisi, torturati”.

Palestinian actor Motaz Masri will not attend the Oscars: “I can’t enter the US.”

Motaz Malhees will not be present at the Academy Awards ceremony, scheduled for March 15th. The actor – one of the stars of Kaouther Ben Hania’s film “The Voice of Hind Rajab” (nominated for Best International Feature Film) – posted on Instagram announcing that he is “not allowed to enter the United States because I am a Palestinian citizen. It hurts, but this is the truth,” the actor writes, emphasizing: “You can block a passport, but not a voice. I am Palestinian and I stand with pride and dignity. I will be there with the spirit. Our story is bigger than any obstacle and will be heard.”

Winner of the Silver Lion at the 82nd Venice Film Festival, “The Voice of Hind Rajab” takes the viewer back to January 29, 2024, when volunteers from the Red Crescent receive an emergency call. A six-year-old girl is trapped in a car under attack in Gaza and begs to be rescued. While they try to keep her on the phone, the rescuers do everything possible to get an ambulance to her. Her name was Hind Rajab. The screening in Venice was met with over twenty minutes of applause, with a strong impact on the audience thanks to the Tunisian director’s choice to use the actual recording of the call.

“I decided to become an actor after the murder of my friend. Not for fame, the spotlights, or luxury, but to be a messenger spreading the truth about my country and my people. Because it seems that no one cares,” Motaz Malhees had stated in October 2025 to ilfattoquotidiano.it. “It’s only in the last two years that the world has begun to realize the nightmare we are living in, and it’s sad. Palestinians have been colonized, subjected to ethnic cleansing, killed, tortured for 77 years.”

Betting on the Oscars

The Oscar awards need more stats. Enough so the big gambling companies can make a huge amount of money off of the proceedings. In each category, I would like to see how the approximately 10 000 votes went, exactly. Then I could try placing a bet for Demi Moore winning best actress by a 1 000 votes or some such number.

Or you could bet on whether nominees win, place or show in their categories. You could even have an exactor or a triactor, like in horse racing. Of course it wouldn’t pay off as much because there are fewer nominees than horses in a horse race.

I’ve also heard there are ad campaigns for certain nominees to win. This should be made public for the purpose of gambling as well. Then gamblers could say well nominee A hardly campaigned at all whereas nominee B spent a small fortune on advertising. This information may be crucial for their wagering.

Then of course the best picture voting is done differently. It is actually a ranked ballot. That is where you rank the nominees from 1 to 10 from your favourite to your least favourite. First, the least favourite nominee is knocked out of the voting. Then the second least favourite is knocked out. All until one picture has 50% of the vote and is declared the winner.

You could use exactor and triactor betting on this. But, importantly, it would be a way to improve ranked ballot knowledge which is often used in politics. Like the Liberal Party of Canada is using in its vote for a leader to replace Justin Trudeau.

For better breakdowns of the voting, I think it is best for each voter to identify themselves in a category, for which they are most known for. Like actor, director, editor, producer, etc. Then we could break down each win further. Thus we could have the favourite actor’s actor, the favourite director’s actor, or the favourite producer’s editor. You would be able to bet in all categories.

Price Waterhouse Cooper have tabulated the results for many years, with only two people knowing the final result before the announcement. That system would have to change. Can’t Oscar use automated vote tabulators? If it’s good enough for politicians, then it should be good enough for the academy. Then we could do this more complicated numbers system that I would like to see at the Oscars.

Then betting advertisements would dominate the ads on the Oscars show. And perhaps more viewers would be enticed because they, personally, would have something to win or lose in the show. With all that betting and the stars, perhaps Oscars ratings wouldn’t slip any further.
