Aussie drama beats world's best for top prize at prestigious European TV awards
Other winners on the night included the documentary Rewilding Sharks, which explores efforts to restore shark populations in Indonesia's Raja Ampat, which received the Prince Rainier III Special Prize, and the French film L'Ange de Boutcha, about a French humanitarian who rescued over 200 civilians from Boutcha during the Ukraine conflict, which received the Monaco Red Cross Prize. The Crystal Nymph, which recognises a career-long body of work, was awarded to American actress Robin Wright. The festival organisers said Wright's work, from the films The Princess Bride and Forrest Gump, to the critically exalted television series House of Cards, had defined her as 'a leading figure in the global audiovisual landscape'. Wright's award was personally presented by Monaco's Prince Albert II. 'It's about the contribution of artists in this industry, and how much they give,' Wright said in her acceptance speech. 'To have been in this industry as long as I have been, I feel very blessed. 'The magic of film and television and how we get to storytelling, is the most meaningful thing to me as an artist,' Wright added. 'It's the creativity and collaboration with everybody, to bring all of you to a point of emotion, whatever that emotion is.' The festival's awards – the Golden Nymphs – are considered to be among the world's most prestigious television awards; the statuette is based on the 'Salmacis' Nymph by the Monegasque sculptor Francois Joseph Bosio. The awards were handed out at a gala which closed the five-day television festival, one of several key dates in the TV calendar; others include Canneseries, which is held in Cannes, and next month's Italian Global Series Festival, which has moved from Rome to the Adriatic beach towns of Riccione and Rimini. The Monte-Carlo Television Festival was founded by Monaco's late Prince Rainier III in 1961 and is now in its 64th year. It draws an eclectic mixture of Hollywood stars, news media and studio executives and European royalty. It is held annually in the tiny European principality. 'There is no place like this on Earth,' Light told the audience at the gala, before introducing the winners of the fiction prizes. 'You take the beauty and the majesty of this place, and you put it together with so many visionary, creative, artistic souls, and you make magic for five glorious days.' The five-day festival includes premiere screenings, an industry conference and, for the first time, an open international 'pitching' competition, offering a program development prize to the recipient. The winning pitch, for a project titled 30 Days Offline, was won by Bryant University student Beau Shugarts. This year's festival guest list included Australian actor Rachel Griffiths, who joined Light on the festival's fiction jury. Other guests included Sarah Rafferty (Suits, Chicago Med), Heather Tom (The Bold and the Beautiful) and Famke Janssen (Nip/Tuck).

The Athletic predicts Florida baseball's Conway Regional outcome
The Athletic predicts Florida baseball's Conway Regional outcome Florida baseball opens up its endeavor to earn the 2025 College World Series title on Friday as the second seed in the Conway Regional following a season that saw some significant ups and downs en route to a postseason bid. The Gators opened up the spring with 11 straight wins before back-to-back losses to the Miami Hurricanes and UCF Knights, respectively, in non-conference play. Kevin O'Sullivan's team would win the next five games, but everything changed once the Southeastern Conference schedule began. The first dozen games of the SEC slate left the Orange and Blue black and blue, struggling to a 1-11 start against fellow conference foes. However, following a home sweep at the hands of the Vanderbilt Commodores, Florida took the rubber match in the season series against the Florida State Seminoles to start an epic run to end the season. It is worth noting that the team's late-season surge began immediately after the men's basketball team earned its third-ever national championship. Alas, that final push ended short after the Gators lost to the Ole Miss Rebels in the second round of the SEC Tournament, eliminating any chance of hosting a regional. The good news is that O'Sullivan's squad is favored to emerge from the opening bracket — at least The Athletic's Mitch Light feels this way in his college baseball NCAA regional predictions. Take a look below at his breakdown of Florida's regional bracket. Conway Regional Coastal Carolina (13) Florida East Carolina Fairfield "Coastal Carolina is second nationally in ERA (3.29) and third in WHIP (1.19) and OPS against (.648). The Chanticleers are hosting a Regional for the fifth time in program history," Light begins. "For the first time in Kevin O'Sullivan's 18 seasons at Florida, the Gators are not hosting a Regional for the second consecutive season. Florida was a No. 3 seed in the Stillwater Regional last year and advanced to the College World Series," he continues. "East Carolina went 13-14 in the American Athletic Conference, only the fourth time this century the Pirates have had a losing record in league play. But Cliff Godwin's club is back in a Regional, for the seventh consecutive season, after winning the AAC tournament title," Light notes. "Fairfield is 108-23 in the MAAC over the last five years with two Regional appearances. The Stags went 2-2 as a No. 3 seed in the Austin Regional in 2021."

Justice, Power and a God Complex: 5 reasons why Death Note still hits hard in 2025
19 years after its official release, the anime Death Note still remains one of the most widely acclaimed and iconic productions worldwide– a psychological suspense so ahead of its time that it is as relevant today as it was back in 2006 when it was first released. Based on the manga by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata, Death Note has long since become a household name in the anime community and even beyond, owing to its deeply complex characters and unique struggle between good and evil. In this article, we will list down 5 reasons why Death Note still deserves a spot on your watchlist in 2025: Light Yagami : the philosophy of good and evil Knowledge is power, and power corrupts. In a world today full of surveillance, power games and leaders who have redefined justice to mean something cruel, Light Yagami remains a relevant example to fall back on. A genius of unprecedented degree with a God complex, Light still sparks debates and discussion on whether he was a hero, a villain, or an anti-hero for that matter? He challenges our own moral compass, prodes at our concept of judgement, and makes us question what 'right' even is? Does justice demand surveillance, and if so, who decides what justice is? Death Note: A Retrospective A masterclass in character design: L From his unusual posture to his unique character design, from his enigmatic faceless voice that can simply say 'I am L' and make the room go quiet– L is a masterclass in how to construct a mysterious character that subverts all expectations when revealed. His methods are unconventional, as much as his sitting style; and his cat-and-mouse mind games with Light have kept viewers hooked through multiple decades. He is an antithesis to Light's megalomaniac justice, but he is justice regardless. In the end... Who TRULY won? The psychological tension Death Note is a culmination of watching chess, poker, and a knife fight all at once; but with brains. The classic push back and forth between Light and L is not just their personal battle towards victory– it is a resemblance to what we see happening at a global scale everyday. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like One of the Most Successful Investors of All Time, Warren Buffett, Recommends: 5 Books for Turning... Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Click Here Undo Opposing viewpoints that collide head on in a psychological level makes the anime a scintillating watch for the brain. In this age where opinions are borrowed and reflection is burdened on an AI; Death Note makes us re-evaluate our notions, rethink our moral dilemmas and revisit our concepts of simple good and evil. Light and L are both in all of us, and Death Note makes us confront that duality. A cultural classic with global influence Anyone who has spent any duration within and around the anime community has at least heard of Death Note. It is an essential viewing as per many lists of recommendations and for good reason. Its impact on popular culture is undeniable, ranging from memes to philosophical debates. It is a gateway into the gritty psychological thriller genre of anime for the past two decades, and it's influence has not dwindled in the slightest. There has never been a better time to get on with watching Death Note, considering its twentieth anniversary is fast approaching. The animation quality of Studio Madhouse The animation of Death Note stands the test of time. From the detailed color grading in the psychological confrontations to the muted tones in the quieter moments– Studio Madhouse did an impeccable job in bringing this dark, gritty world to life. The high quality animation and effective art direction serve an anime that is a treat to the eyes, making it an immersive experience even today. Death Note is a masterpiece that will remain one of the most discussed anime in many more years to come. The twists and turns, the exciting chase for justice, and the moral dilemma of righteousness– Death Note paints a picture of our own psyche that has only become more relevant now than ever before.
