Chris Willman Music WriterFamously mercurial rocker Van Morrison has not shown the same enthusiasm for Oscar campaigning that many of this year’s other Academy Awards nominees have.

Clayton Davis The best picture Oscar race is in a dead heat, with any number of paths to victory. But there’s another fierce competition, years in the making, to be the first streaming giant to win the Academy Awards’ most coveted honor.On the television side, Netflix and Amazon each made a play to become the first streamer to win the Emmy Award for either of the top series categories, but Hulu shattered the glass ceiling with “The Handmaid’s Tale” in 2017.

Social media is becoming an important tool for footballers, and gives players a large platform to communicate with their fans across the world. Some use their platform to achieve good, such as Marcus Rashford and his Twitter campaign to end child hunger, whilst others may use it in a more negative way, such as Joleon Lescott “pocket tweeting” a picture of a new car just hours after his side lost 6-0. Footballers are increasingly addicted to Instagram, and the top players in the world have built up followings bigger than the clubs they play for.

Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech has called time on his international career in a stunning attack on Morocco coach Vahid Halilhodzic, accusing him of “lying” about his exclusion from the Africa Cup of Nations.Ziyech was not selected to play for Morocco at AFCON, so watched on from west London as his nation were beaten 2-1 in the quarter-finals by Egypt last month.The Chelsea winger has scored 17 goals in 40 appearances for Morocco but has been frozen out following a very public falling out with Halilhodzic.He hasn’t played for Morocco since a friendly against Burkina Faso in June – and it appears that he won’t be returning any time soon.Halilhodzic has faced questions about Ziyech’s absence, but insisted he wouldn’t select him even if he was Lionel Messi. It seems the feeling is mutual."I understand them (the fans), but I will not return to the Moroccan national team and this is my final decision," Ziyech told ADSportsTV."It's all clear for me how things are going over there and I am focusing on what I am doing and, right now, that is my club."At the end of the day, it's a decision he makes and you have to respect it.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Mauricio Pochettino could trade places this summer as Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain brace themselves for some serious changes.United will need to appoint a new permanent manager in the coming months with interim head coach Ralf Rangnick's temporary deal set to expire at the end of the season, and Pochettino has been the frontrunner for some time.Meanwhile, reports suggest that Ronaldo already wants out of Old Trafford despite only returning to the club in August, with a move to Paris now looking likely.The French giants are preparing for life without Kylian Mbappe, who has reportedly agreed to join Real Madrid in the summer, and are considering replacing him with Ronaldo, according to the Mirror.The switch would see the 37-year-old lining up in the same team as eternal rival Lionel Messi for the very first time.Speculation surrounding the Portugal international's unhappiness in Manchester has intensified ever since the Red Devils were dumped out of the FA Cup on penalties by Championship side Middlesbrough on Friday.Ronaldo missed a number of chances during the game, including a penalty, and has now failed to find the back of the net in four matches, and is now one game away from his longest goal drought in over a decade.With United out of the Carabao Cup and trailing league leaders Manchester City by 19 points, the only piece of silverware Ronaldo can now hope to pick up this season is the Champions League.Which club would benefit most from this swap?

Lionel Messi after claiming that winning FIFA's The Best award is "more important" than winning the Ballon d'Or.Messi narrowly pipped Lewandowski to a record seventh Ballon d'Or title back in November despite a sizeable proportion of fans believing the Polish striker had done enough to win.Instead, Lewandowski was crowned FIFA's The Best Men's Player last month, with Messi coming in second."I have been thinking lately and I have come to the conclusion that the FIFA award is more important," the Bayern Munich star told a Polish magazine, as per Marca."Only journalists vote for the Ballon d'Or, there is no clear verification.

Talk centred around who will be Manchester United’s next manager continues to dominate discussions.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi have secured their legacies as two of football’s greatest-ever players. But when it comes to free-kicks, the superstar duo cannot claim to have the same level of dominance.A statistical ranking of the top goalscorers from direct free-kicks has revealed that neither of football’s global icons have made it into the top three, although Ronaldo and Messi are as close as ever in terms of their contributions.Ronaldo has scored just one direct free-kick from his last 90 attempts, dating back to the 2017-18 season when he was at Real Madrid.Barcelona legend Messi, now at Paris Saint-Germain, has been more prolific with a dead ball situation, scoring eight times since the start of the 2019-20 campaign.Seven-time Ballon d’Or winner Messi, 34, can hang his hat on the half-century of free kicks he has whipped over the wall in his illustrious career.

Lionel Messi was finally able to don his iconic No.10 shirt for the first time since his summer switch to PSG on Monday night.The French giants faced off against OGC Nice in a Coupe de France clash on Monday night.And with competition rules stating that all players in the starting XI have to line up in shirts numbered between 1 and 11 with substitutes not permitted to wear a shirt number over 25.That bizarre rule, plus Neymar's absence, opened the door for Messi to wear his favoured digits once again.But his joy was short-lived after PSG were sent crashing out of the competition on penalties in a humbling defeat.Mauricio Pochettino's side were unable to find a way past Nice, with the scores level at 0-0 in Paris.Messi did, at least, notch his penalty to fire PSG into an early lead in the shootout.
