Black Lives Matter movement nominated for Nobel peace prize

Norwegian cites global impact of BLM in raising awareness and consciousness of racial injustice

The Black Lives Matter movement has been nominated for the 2021 Nobel peace prize for the way its call for systemic change has spread around the world. In his nomination papers, Norwegian MP Petter Eide said the movement had forced countries outside the US to grapple with racism within their own societies.

“I find that one of the key challenges we have seen in America, but also in Europe and Asia, is the kind of increasing conflict based on inequality. Black Lives Matter has become a very important worldwide movement to fight racial injustice,” Eide said. “They have had a tremendous achievement in raising global awareness and consciousness about racial injustice.”

New England coach Bill Belichick turns down Trump’s presidential medal offer

New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said Monday he will not accept the presidential medal of freedom that President Trump was set to award him following last week’s Capitol siege.

Driving the news: Belichick said while he was initially flattered to be offered the award, “the tragic events of last week occurred,” and he has decided not to move forward.

---

• Belichick faced calls, including from several Democratic lawmakers, to decline the award, per The New York Times.

What they’re saying: “Recently, I was offered the opportunity to receive the presidential medial of freedom, which I was flatters by out of respect for what the honor represents and admiration for prior recipients. Subsequently, the tragic events of last week occurred and the decision has been made not to move forward with the award,” Belichick said in a statement, per ESPN’s Adam Schefter.

• “Above all, I am an American citizen with great reverences for our nation’s values, freedom and democracy. I know I also represent my family and the New England Patriots team,” he added.
• “One of the most rewarding things in my professional career took place in 2020 when, through the great leadership within our team, conversations about social justice, equality and human rights moved to the forefront and became actions.”
• “Continuing those efforts while remaking true to the people, team and country I love outweighs the benefits of any individual award.
• The White House did not immediately comment on Belichick’s statement.

Razzies announce 2020 nominations and yes, ‘Cats’ is a top nominee

The 2020 Razzie nominations got out ahead of Hollywood’s annual Academy Awards ceremony on Feb. 9. 

For the uninitiated, the Razzies are basically a 180-degree twist on the Oscars, awarding movies and actors for worst performances of the year. Award “winners” in the past include our very own president, who won two in 2019, one for his “worst acting” in Death of a Nation and Fahrenheit 11/9, and another for “worst screen combo” with his self-perpetuating pettiness.

Trump does not show up among the 2020  nominations but Cats, Rambo: Last Blood, and Madea Family Funeral lead the pack with eight nominations each. While Hollywood is buzzing with Oscar predictions, we’ll be placing our bets for who takes home the most Razzies.  Read more…
