According to an analysis of data by global search engine Google, the first time Oscar presenter Priyanka Chopra is the second most searched celebrity in the Red Carpet Dress category across the world.

The 33-year-old former Miss World, who rose to fame internationally with last year's ABC thriller "Quantico", opted for a white elegant strapless gown by Lebanese designer Zuhair Murad with a neat pony tail and diamond accessories for presenting the best editing Oscar.

In an official release, Google today said: "Given the hype and mystery around the dresses to be worn by the top actress at the Oscars, the top searched contenders for the Best Red Carpet Dress are Olivia Wilde, Priyanka Chopra, Jennifer Lawrence, Charlize Theron and Saoirse Ronan."

The search engine said the current year began with a "never-seen-before" search trends interest for the 88th Academy Awards and has witnessed an 70 per cent growth compared to 2015.

Of this, as high as 50 per cent of all Oscar searches worldwide have originated from the USA, while markets that make up to the next 30 per cent of the search share include the UK, Canada, Australia and Spain.

"India contributes to about 2 per cent of the global searches for the Oscars and still makes it to the top 10 markets for Oscar searches," Google said.

In India, the most searched among the nominees for 'Best Picture' is the "Revenant," followed by "Mad Max: Fury Road."

For all the Indian fans, Leonardo DiCaprio emerged as the most popular nominee in the race for 'Best Actor', while Matt Damon follows as the second most searched contender.
Among the Best Actress nominees, Cate Blanchett is the most-searched nominee in India, followed by Jennifer Lawrence.

The top directors at the 88th Academy Awards being searched for include Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu ('The Revenant'), Adam McKay ('The Big Short'), George Miller ('Mad Max:Fury Road'), Lenny Abrhamson ('Room') and Tom McCarthy ('Spotlight'), Google said.

In 2016, searches around the Oscars are trending to be the top query worldwide in the Art and Entertainment category, and the same trend is being seen in India as well.

Los Angeles, Jun 26: Warner Bros has moved its Christopher Nolan-directed espionage thriller Tenet from July 31 to August 12.

It's the second delay for the highly-anticipated movie, which was originally scheduled to release on July 17 but was postponed to July 31 due to coronavirus pandemic.

Warner Bros. is committed to bringing Tenet' to audiences in theaters, on the big screen, when exhibitors are ready and public health officials say it's time. In this moment what we need to be is flexible, and we are not treating this as a traditional movie release.

We are choosing to open the movie mid-week to allow audiences to discover the film in their own time, and we plan to play longer, over an extended play period far beyond the norm, to develop a very different yet successful release strategy, a Warner Bros spokesperson said in a statement to Deadline.

The studio has also delayed the US re-release of Nolan's sci-fi blockbuster Inception, in honour of the film's 10th anniversary, to July 31.

Tenet features John David Washington, Robert Pattinson, Elizabeth Debicki, Kenneth Branagh, Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Michael Caine, Clemence Poesy, Dimple Kapadia and Himesh Patel.

Mumbai, Jul 27: Reel life villain Sonu Sood turned real life hero once again, this time by gifting a tractor on Sunday to a farmer in a remote village in Andhra Pradesh to help him till the land. The actor came up with the gift after coming through a video clip on Twitter wherein a tomato farmer in Madanapalle in Chittoor district was seen ploughing the land with his two daughters carrying the yoke on their shoulders.

In his instant reaction, Sood promised a pair of ox to the farmer, but later said the family deserved a tractor. "So sending you one. By evening a tractor will be ploughing your fields. Stay blessed," Sood, who acted as a villain in numerous Telugu films, said in a tweet.

True to his word, a new tractor was delivered to the elated farmer Nageswara Rao at his Mahalrajupalle village by Sunday night. Telugu Desam Party president N Chandrababu Naidu, who belongs to Chittoor district, hailed the actor's gesture.

"Spoke with @sonusood ji and applauded him for his inspiring effort to send a tractor to Nageswara Rao's family in Chittoor district. Moved by the plight of the family, I have decided to take care of the education of the two daughters and help them pursue their dreams," Naidu said in a tweet.

Rao's elder daughter completed her Intermediate while the second one passed Class 10. Rao used to run a tea stall in Madanapalle before coronavirus left him out of business. He returned to his native Mahalrajupalle village to take up agriculture once again.

Given his penury, he could not hire either a pair of bulls or a tractor to till the land, when his daughters volunteered to help him on the chores. Their plight went viral on social media following which the actor stepped in with help.
