Unsurprisingly, Everything Everywhere All at Once dominated the 95th Academy Awards, but what was surprising was that Elvis did not win a single award.
SuperTalk Mississippi's own Tanya Taylor, a certified Critics Choice Awards voter, explained that Elvis not winning was a major shock. The Baz Luhrmann-directed film was nominated for eight Oscars and was even favored to win in multiple categories.
“I really thought ‘Elvis' was going to come away with a lot of wins and they were shut out,” Taylor said. “I was very, very surprised, just because it was such a well-executed movie. I really thought they were going to get costume design, makeup, cinematography, and production design.”

SUMMARY: William “Polo” Edwards, accused of killing community activist Robert Davis, has requested the judge, Eleanor Faye Peterson, to recuse herself due to perceived bias. His second trial is scheduled for July 29, 2024. Edwards claims Peterson's behavior during the first trial was unfair, citing online memes and previous cases where he was the defendant. Peterson denied Edwards bond after a mistrial, and he remains in custody. Edwards was arrested after a chase in New Orleans and indicted for murder and illegal possession of a firearm. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges.

SUMMARY: Progress is being made on Luxapalila Creek in Millport, Alabama, which has been causing flooding issues in the town for over a decade. The Army Corps of Engineers has committed to conducting a preliminary study on the creek and finding funding for dredging and snag removal.
