]]> After months of anticipation, the scaled-down Oscar ceremony took place this Sunday night, and it was one to remember. Several major records were set and Nomadland led the way as the biggest winner of the night with a total of three major awards.

In addition to winning the best picture, Nomadland made history in two additional categories. Chloé Zhao became the second woman to win the Oscar for the best director, while Frances McDormand won her third acting Oscar, becoming only the seventh person to do so.

Anthony Hopkins pulled a major upset with The Father, and became the oldest best actor winner, scooping the award from the expected winner Chadwick Boseman. The supporting acting awards were won by Daniel Kaluuya (Judas and the Black Messiah) and Youn Yuh-jung (Minari).

The list of movies to walk away with two awards includes The Father, Judas and the Black Messiah, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, Mank, Soul, and Sound of Metal. It was also a big night for Emerald Fennell, who won the best original screenplay award for Promising Young Woman, and Thomas Vinterberg, whose latest project Another Round was crowned as the best international film.

]]> Kumail Nanjiani is in talks to join Marvel’s The Eternals.

Should the Oscar nominated comedian join the project, it will be his first venture into the world of superheroes. 

The feature is based on the 1976 comic book series created by Jack Kirby. The story follows the super-powered and near-immortal beings known as Eternals and a more monstrous offshoot known as the Deviants that were created by cosmic beings known as Celestials. 

According to The Hollywood Repoter, Angelina Jolie is also on board and is set to play Sersi, an outgoing Eternal who is not afraid to move amongst humankind. Details about what character Nanjiani would play are being kept under wraps.

Chloe Zhao is directing from a script penned by Matthew and Ryan Firpo. 

You can see Nanjiani next in Columbia Pictures’ Men in Black: International and Universal Pictures’ The Voyage of Doctor Dolittle.
