'Jaws' at 50: Steven Spielberg says he was surprised by Oscar snub
For acclaimed director Steven Spielberg, making Jaws was an unforgettable and stressful experience. So much so that he thought the ordeal would land him a best director nod at the Academy Awards. The famed filmmaker recalled in National Geographic's upcoming documentary Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story. "When a film is on the cusp of being considered for awards, it's not so much what you want for yourself — it's what everyone else says is going to happen for you," said Spielberg. "So I just understood, 'I guess I'm getting nominated." "So when I wasn't, I was surprised. And I was disappointed," he said. "Because I was believing the noise, and you have to not believe that stuff." Despite Spielberg missing out on a best director nomination, Jaws was nominated for four Oscars in 1976 and won three, only missing out in the best picture category. John Williams took home best original score for his iconic music, while the shark thriller also clinched trophies for best film editing and best sound. Directed by Laurent Bouzereau and produced in partnership with Spielberg's Amblin Documentaries, Jaws @ 50 includes the only interview with Spielberg about the movie's milestone. Other famed directors who appear in the documentary to reflect on Jaws' legacy include James Cameron, JJ Abrams, George Lucas, Jordan Peele and Guillermo del Toro. Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story premieres July 10 on National Geographic.

An interactive Harry Potter exhibition is coming to Abu Dhabi
Wands at the ready – Harry Potter: The Exhibition is heading to Abu Dhabi this summer and it's set to be one of the most magical events of the year. Landing at Manarat Al Saadiyat on July 25 and staying for a limited time, this is the Middle East debut of the international touring exhibition that's already enchanted more than 3.7 million fans around the world.

The exhibition dives deep into the beloved world of Harry Potter, Fantastic Beasts and even The Cursed Child stage production, with meticulously recreated environments, original costumes and dazzling technology that brings Hogwarts to life right before your eyes. Think of it as stepping straight onto the set – only better, because you will actually get to be part of the magic. Expect to stroll through the great hall, brew potions in Snape's classroom, cast a patronus in the Forbidden Forest and see your name pop up on the Marauder's map. Want to know your Hogwarts house? You'll pick it during registration and follow its story through stained-glass windows, have a photo op with the Sorting Hat and have your own personalised Hogwarts journey (don't worry though, you'll still get to see the story of each house). And yes, there's merch – lots of it. From chocolate frogs to limited-edition collectibles, the exhibition store is packed with magical goodies you won't find anywhere else. Pre-sale tickets go live on June 23 for fans who join the waitlist.
