SUMMARY: As the 97th Academy Awards approach, controversy surrounds the use of AI in potential Best Picture contender *The Brutalist*.

Editor Dávid Jancsó explained AI’s role in perfecting accents and creating aged images, while Corbet clarified that AI did not alter performances or render buildings.

SUMMARY: President Trump signed an order challenging birthright citizenship for children born in the U.S. to immigrants who are here illegally or temporarily. Legal experts argue that the move violates the 14th Amendment, which guarantees citizenship to anyone born in the U.S. Critics label it unconstitutional and racially discriminatory, pointing to past rulings affirming birthright citizenship. Although some believe the order will be overturned in court, there’s uncertainty due to a more conservative Supreme Court. Legal challenges are expected, with opponents seeking to block the order before it takes effect. Critics suggest Trump may use the issue to rally his supporters.

President Donald Trump followed through on a campaign promise Monday to move to remove the guarantee of citizenship for some children born on U.S. soil.

Trump asserts that the federal government has failed to uphold its constitutional obligation to protect states from invasion. His proclamation, effective January 20, allows for the suspension of entry for individuals deemed part of this invasion, emphasizing the need for health and background checks and authorizing federal action to remove these individuals.
