The early part of the year was dominated by building up to the fight between the super-lightweight champion Haney and fellow American Garcia.
‘King Ryan’ acted erratically throughout, making all sorts of wild claims, smoking and drinking during camp, and then ultimately missing weight which meant he was ineligible to claim the world title.
Speaking to FightHub TV, Garcia’s promoter Oscar De La Hoya was asked if he planned on making a rematch between the two and didn’t seem keen.
“The way Ryan Garcia handled Devin Haney to me personally doesn’t call for a rematch.”
He then outlined the bold plans for ‘King Ry’.
“Once Ryan gets back in action and gets back in rhythm and has a tune-up fight possibly in late April or early May, then I want to throw him right in there with the very best – Teo Lopez or ‘Boots’ Ennis or whoever the very best is.”
He did however hint that a rematch with Haney will always be a big draw.
“We still have Devin Haney who is wanting that rematch against Ryan Garcia.”
Oscar De La Hoya, the boxing legend and promoter of Ryan Garcia, recently made his feelings on a potential rematch between Garcia and Devin Haney clear. In a statement released to the press, De La Hoya expressed his excitement at the prospect of the two young fighters facing off once again.
De La Hoya praised both Garcia and Haney for their skills and determination in the ring, calling them two of the best young talents in boxing today. He highlighted the thrilling nature of their first fight, which ended in a controversial split decision in favor of Haney.
The promoter emphasized his belief that Garcia has what it takes to defeat Haney in a rematch, citing his speed, power, and boxing IQ as key factors in his favor. De La Hoya also hinted at the potential for the fight to take place in a major venue with a large audience, further adding to the excitement surrounding the matchup.
Overall, De La Hoya’s comments make it clear that he is fully on board with the idea of Garcia and Haney stepping into the ring once again. Boxing fans can look forward to a highly anticipated rematch between two of the sport’s brightest young stars, with De La Hoya fully supporting his fighter to come out victorious.

Chhaya Kadam and Kani Kusruti in a still from Payal Kapadia’s All We Imagine as Light.
Now, as the film awaits its digital release on Disney+ Hotstar from January 3, stars Kani Kusruti and Chhaya Kadam sat down for an exclusive chat with Hindustan Times to talk about collaborating with Payal Kapadia, its rapturous global reception, and what they think about its chances of nabbing an Oscar now. (Excerpts)
Congratulations on All We Imagine As Light. The film has been winning so many awards across the world from critic circles. How are you reacting to all this love for the film?
Chhaya: It feels amazing! As actors there is always this wish to do something different, and that feels great in itself. For All We Imagine As Light to receive so much love from across the world is truly special.
Kani: What she said! When we were shooting, we did not think of these things. When such a thing happens, a lot of happiness is spread through the entire crew… everyone is happy. I think we are also very happy when people watch the film and tell us what they felt. Personally for me, that makes me more happy!
Has there been any reaction to the film that has stayed with you?
Kani: For me that has to be one interviewer in person whom we met in Kerala. I forgot her name unfortunately, but when she talked to us… I thought she understood everything. Even as an actor, we tend to miss out on a lot of things. When you watch a film, you discover something new every time. So, this one interviewer said things that even I had not seen, and I got overwhelmed. The capacity of an audience to watch something that you have created, in such a way that they understand all of it and more. That is so unique. I remember for Payal [Kapadia] also it was very moving.
But otherwise a lot of people have also related to these three women. They take a part of their own lives and say how this is the moment they related to Parvaty, or Anu, or Prabha.
Chhaya: Same. So many people have come back to reflect on the film, the characters, that we are seeing the film in a new light. It is so amazing to know these reactions. For instance, a friend of mine told me how one scene in the kitchen in the hospital, it seems that Parvaty’s life is contained in that kholi (a small room in a chawl), and it was so visible in your movement. That your life is stuck there, spending so many years in that cramped space.
What is important for me is so many who have watched this film have come back and told that more films like these should be made. As an artist, and as a part of Indian film industry, that feels so special.
One of my favourite scenes from the film is the little dance that the three characters share in the second half in Ratnagiri almost like an impromptu one…
Kani: All scenes are rehearsed, even that dance scene! Each step was planned. How Divya’s generation would dance, how Anu would react… each step was decided beforehand. There is no impromptu scene in the whole film. The ADs also helped Divya for certain steps, like what a Gen-Z step can be! All that was discussed.
Chhaya: I remember how all three of us made sure to dance like our characters only. Chhaya should not come in that dance! We had to work on that a lot.
Payal does not speak Malayalam. Kani, you do speak Hindi. Tell me a little about collaborating with Payal in the film when both of you were not interacting in their first languages.
Kani: Communication happened in English, but I think Payal did an incredible job even when she was speaking the language. She worked on the script thoroughly with her associate who was also from Kerala and FTII. Robin Joy and Naseem were there from early on, working on the script, translating, know other options of the same word, incorporate it. The tonality of the sound was thoroughly worked upon. We also added our inputs, then Payal would hear all those options, and then greenlit what sounds would go. She would close her eyes and listen to it… so that much work went behind it. She was very much in control in what was happening even when she did not speak the language. That was amazing.
All We Imagine As Light is a city film, a film that talks about Mumbai in all its contradictions and beauty. I want to know about both of your impressions about Mumbai, the changes you have seen…
Chhaya: Mumbai is changing with every year, but there is no denying how this city is able to incorporate with its people. Come what may, Mumbai has this energy that never bows down, or loses at the end. Ek zinda-dili hain. Even people who come from outside and stay in this city, they tell how safe it feels. A person who is in Mumbai will never go to sleep hungry. The city feeds them with a different kind of energy.
Kani, do you remember what Payal said in one interview? I kept thinking how she said that even the bus rides become romantic in Mumbai when one falls in love! (smiles)
Kani: I have come here on and off since 2000, mostly for shows, in Prithvi Theatre. Compared to where I come from, I felt how this is a free-spirited city. People do not stare at women really, as much as I would face it in other places in India. People do not pay unnecessary attention to what women are wearing. All genders freely travelling together, all of that was a pleasant surprise for me. I was in awe. At the same time, I remember seeing the water here being bad. I washed my hair here and felt like going back home. So I noticed these differences. People come to Bombay, they struggle and then they find their way and build their own life. One who has done that will know what the city, or any city, has to offer them. I come from a privileged space, whenever I stay in Mumbai, so I am not really the one to speak for it. I am not a city person but in India if there is any city where I felt that I can survive it is Mumbai. Other cities I am sure I won’t survive at all. (laughs)
The Oscars shortlist for Best International Feature came in and India was not on it. Many people felt All We Imagine As Light could have easily made it, if it had been selected. From an actor’s perspective, how are you reacting to this scenario?
Kani: I don’t even know what is a shortlist! (laughs) I am very bad at following these things, and never paid attention to these things. Of course, whole India would love to see one of the films from the country to be in consideration. I am not someone who is very keen on these matters, and what stands out to me personally is that we are already so proud of what the film is, and that so many people are watching and connecting to it.
That is more important to me as an actor. These journeys of awards are bonus, parallel journeys and let it have its own course. (smiles)
Chhaya ji is in every film! She is in Sister Midnight, Madgaon Express! She is everywhere! (laughs)
Chhaya ji must be thinking that my films must speak for me.
Chhaya: Yes, exactly! (smiles) I was just going to say this! I have never thought of these things, only early on I had this wish to see my films release in theatres and I must get some nomination. But with experience, and after meeting so many people, one’s way of thinking changes accordingly. So after a few years it was all about what I want to do as an actor, the job at hand, and after my work is done, it is one the audience to decide whether it is good or bad.
Even now, our film has received so much. First Cannes, and now Barack Obama has also seen our film! I kept dreaming about how Obama liked our film! (smiles) That means he has seen me, and even know my name! That itself is such a bonus! (smiles) A good film must always find its way. Any Indian film which has such a reception, its a win for all of us. Even if we were not in this film, we would have been so proud for what the film has achieved so far.
All We Imagine As Light premieres on Disney+ Hotstar on January 3.
In an exclusive interview with All We Imagine As Light’s leading ladies Kani Kusruti and Chhaya Kadam, the talented actresses revealed that they don’t care much about Oscar nominations.
Despite their brilliant performances in the acclaimed film, Kani and Chhaya remain humble and grounded, focusing on their craft rather than chasing accolades. When asked about the possibility of an Oscar nomination for their roles, both actresses expressed gratitude for the recognition but emphasized that their true passion lies in telling meaningful stories and connecting with audiences.
Kani and Chhaya’s refreshing perspective serves as a reminder that true success in the entertainment industry comes from genuine artistry and a commitment to creating impactful work. As they continue to captivate audiences with their talent and authenticity, it’s clear that these two talented actresses are destined for even greater heights, with or without the glitz and glamour of award season.

Through his work across the history of Marvel movies, the timeline of Star Wars movies and more, Samuel L. Jackson has shown broad range and continued to hone his talent across decades of acting experience. For an actor of his caliber, it’s kind of surprising that he’s only ever been nominated once for an Academy Award (outside of the honorary statue he brought home in 2021).
Some might stoke a passionate defenses for the veteran of the Marvel and Star Wars cinematic universes; however, the man himself isn’t bent out of shape one bit. In conversation with The L.A. Times, the noted f-bomb dropper admits that the annual chase for that golden path doesn’t necessarily motivate him. So, what does keep Samuel L. Jackson going in his career pursuits?
I was never going to let the Oscars be a measure of my success or failure as an actor. My yardstick of success is my happiness: Am I satisfied with what I’m doing? I’m not doing statue-chasing movies. You know [whispers]: “If you do this movie, you’ll win an Oscar.” No, thanks. I’d rather be Nick Fury. Or having fun being Mace Windu with a lightsaber in my hand.
Knowing that The Avengers alum values the blockbuster entries in the pantheon of the best Samuel L. Jackson movies as much as any actor would treasure an award-winning act is unsurprising. Even when you’re watching Jackson at work in something like the Star Wars movies, you can see that he’s having fun with what he does.
Further explaining why he doesn’t pay too much mind to the Oscars, Jackson also admitted to no regrets letting “statue chasing” projects go in favor of other projects. Providing a self evaluation of his mythically awesome career, the Jurassic Park co-star pretty much summed it up in a manner most fans would totally agree with. In Samuel L. Jackson’s eyes, he’s very quotable. In fact he’s…
“..the guy who does the lines that people see on T-shirts.
(Image credit: Marvel Studios)
Honestly, there is not a more perfect summary of what you could call the Jackson Oeuvre. And that’s something that we’ve seen the Argylle cast member wear rather proudly on his chest, as seen through several Samuel L. Jackson t-shirt photos on social media. Hell, you could even put the quote mentioned above on its own t-shirt, in the font of his most recognizable projects, and it would probably sell quite well.
Seeing as he’s a fan of the many times characters like John Shaft, Mace Windu, and even his solo Academy Award nominated role as Pulp Fiction’s Jules Winfield pop up on such garments, it would perhaps make even more sense to chase those sort of projects. But possibly the best thing about Jackson is that he takes roles across the board, from popcorn flicks to b-movies, to awards contenders and big budget successes. He’s a stable, solid player at the box office with a great reputation for fun.
Oh, and if anyone’s actually made Mr. Jackson’s perfect Secret Invasion t-shirt, make yourself known. Whatever 2025 movie release next gets to benefit from his exceptional talents is probably going to need some fresh one-liners for more memes and tees. Maybe it’ll even be an Oscars contender this time.

Samuel L Jackson Isn’t Bent Out Of Shape About Never Winning An Oscar (And Yes Star Wars And Marvel Are Involved)
Samuel L Jackson, the iconic actor known for his unforgettable roles in films like Pulp Fiction, Django Unchained, and the Marvel Cinematic Universe, has never won an Oscar. Despite this, Jackson remains unfazed by the lack of recognition from the Academy.
In a recent interview, Jackson expressed his nonchalant attitude towards the prestigious award, stating that he doesn’t “need a gold guy on [his] shelf” to validate his talent. He went on to say that he’s proud of the work he’s done and the impact he’s had on the film industry, regardless of any awards.
One might think that Jackson’s roles in blockbuster franchises like Star Wars and Marvel would have earned him some Oscar love, but the actor seems content with his contributions to these beloved series. He’s brought to life some of the most memorable characters in these universes, from Mace Windu to Nick Fury, and fans couldn’t imagine anyone else in these roles.
While some actors may feel bitter about never winning an Oscar, Jackson’s laid-back attitude and focus on the work itself is refreshing. He continues to deliver outstanding performances and entertain audiences around the world, proving that awards aren’t the only measure of success in Hollywood. And with more exciting projects on the horizon, it’s safe to say that Samuel L Jackson’s legacy will only continue to grow.

Artificial Intelligence Hardware Design: Challenges and Solutions by Oscar Ming
Artificial intelligence (AI) has become a game-changing technology in various industries, from healthcare to finance to automotive. As the demand for AI continues to grow, the need for efficient and powerful hardware design is becoming increasingly important.
However, designing hardware for AI applications comes with its own set of challenges. One of the main challenges is the need for high performance and low power consumption. AI algorithms require a huge amount of computational power, which can lead to increased energy consumption and heat generation. This can be a major bottleneck in designing hardware for AI applications.
Another challenge in AI hardware design is the need for flexibility and scalability. AI models are constantly evolving, and hardware needs to be able to adapt to these changes quickly and efficiently. This requires a flexible and scalable hardware architecture that can easily accommodate new algorithms and models.
To address these challenges, there are several solutions that designers can consider. One solution is the use of specialized hardware accelerators, such as GPUs or TPUs, which are designed specifically for AI applications. These accelerators can provide the necessary computational power while minimizing energy consumption.
Another solution is the use of hardware-software co-design techniques, where hardware and software are designed in tandem to optimize performance and power consumption. This approach can help designers create more efficient and flexible hardware architectures for AI applications.
Overall, designing hardware for AI applications comes with its own set of challenges, but with the right solutions and techniques, designers can create efficient and powerful hardware architectures that can meet the demands of AI applications.

Kristen Stewart has come a long way from her Twilight days. Once criticized for her acting skills, she went on to win an Academy Awards nomination in 2022 for her movie Spencer. The movie highlighted a turbulent period in the life of Princess Diana, and Stewart’s acting gained overwhelming praise for embodying the late princess.
Although the award eventually went to Jessica Chastain for her role in The Eyes of Tammy Faye, some fans disagreed with the verdict. According to them, the award should have gone to Kristen Stewart, as they think she did a better job than Chastain in her movie. However, many have a different opinion on the matter, and for what they believe are very good reasons.
Oscars 2022 saw a race between Kristen Stewart and Jessica Chastain
Oscars 2022 was an event filled with leading women from the industry. Not only…
The debate between Kristen Stewart and Jessica Chastain for the Best Actress Oscar is a contentious one, with both actresses delivering incredible performances in their respective films. However, many Twilight fans have been vocal in their belief that Stewart should have taken home the award over Chastain.
While Stewart’s portrayal of Princess Diana in “Spencer” was certainly impressive, there are a few reasons why Chastain ultimately deserved the win.
Firstly, Chastain’s performance in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” was widely praised by critics and audiences alike. She fully embodied the role of controversial televangelist Tammy Faye Bakker, capturing her vulnerability, strength, and complexity with nuance and depth.
Secondly, Chastain’s range as an actress is undeniable. She has consistently delivered standout performances in a variety of genres and roles, showcasing her versatility and skill as a performer.
Lastly, the Oscars are meant to honor the best performances of the year, regardless of personal bias or fandom. While Stewart may have a dedicated fanbase from her time in the Twilight franchise, the award should go to the actress who truly delivered the standout performance of the year.
In conclusion, while Kristen Stewart’s performance in “Spencer” was commendable, Jessica Chastain ultimately deserved the Best Actress Oscar for her exceptional work in “The Eyes of Tammy Faye.” Twilight fans may disagree, but the evidence speaks for itself.
