The 78th Golden Globe Awards was held on 28 February in the United States, honouring the best films and television shows of 2020 and early 2021.

One of the most heartwarming moments from this event was when actor Chadwick Boseman was posthumously honoured with the Best Actor award for his role in Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, six months after his death. Boseman passed away at 43 due to colon cancer.

His wife Taylor Simone Ledward accepted the award on his behalf, moving everyone to tears.

Watch the video here:

‘He would have said something beautiful, he would have said something inspiring..’ said Leward after accepting the award.

Taylor Simone remembered everyone her late husband would have thanked and she broke down while saying that she doesn't have 'his words'.

Tik Tok star La’Ron Hines also shared an adorable moment at the Golden Globes. Working through his regular segment of ‘Are you smarter than a preschooler?’ this time Hines asked children ‘What do people do at award shows?’

Whenever he asked them ‘Who is Chadwick Boseman?’ all the children recognised him as Black Panther. One boy also said that ‘Chadwick Boseman is a good guy.’

Both these instances moved everyone, as they remembered the actor.

Many celebrities also shared emotional moments on social media, honouring Boseman’s memory.

Boseman received his first Golden Globe this year. He achieved global recognition as King T’Challa of the fictional African Country Wakanda, also known as Black Panther, which was a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

The justices at 10 a.m. EDT (1400 GMT) will hear Trump's appeal after lower courts rejected his request to be shielded from four election-related criminal charges on the grounds that he was serving as president when he took the actions that led to the indictment obtained by Special Counsel Jack Smith. Trump, the Republican candidate challenging Democratic President Joe Biden in the Nov. 5 election, is the first former U.S. president to be criminally prosecuted.

    Indian forest service official Surya Sen usually manages a city zoo, but during the world's largest general elections, he has a very different task - rooting out online misinformation to prevent any disturbances. As nearly a billion voters head to the polls in a mammoth six-week programme that began on April 19, officials like Sen counter rapidly spreading online misinformation from election cells that also monitor television and public camera images. "Social media is the primary ground for misinformation," said Sen, whose team monitors social media from an office in India's Silicon Valley city of Bengaluru that goes to the polls on Friday.

  • Russian programmers play 'cat and mouse' game to outsmart censors

    When Antony Rudkovsky was about 15, he began to teach himself how to build virtual private networks (VPNs) to access Internet content unavailable in Russia. At first, the young programmer just wanted to listen to music on the Spotify streaming app in his bedroom in Nizhny Novgorod, a city roughly 270 miles (430 km) east of Moscow. Three years later, Rudkovsky, now 18, snagged $1,200 – the biggest share of the prize money – at a competition last month organised by a civil society group to design a VPN to evade Russia's censors.

Because before having my son Jasper, now 21 months old, I was a McDonald’s-eating, polyester-wearing gym-phobe who took no issue with harsh chemicals on the skin. But by the time I was six months pregnant, my body was a temple. I swore never to use even soap on my baby, let alone allow him to touch non-natural fibres, and at
