Jackie Shroff's darling son Tiger Shroff is soon growing into a hot property in Bollywood and how. While on one hand, the promos of his debut film Heropanti has become the talk of the town ever since it was launched, on the other hand, Tiger is spoilt for choices by the kind of film offers and brand endorsements deals that are coming up his way. No wonder then, the Tiger boy is taking his own sweet time to give his nod to the offers. One such brand that will now feature him as its brand ambassador is the greetings and gift store chain Archies. Readers may recall that, prior to Tiger becoming the face of the brand; it was Salman Khan who was endorsing this as many as 19 years ago! Speaking about this association, Anil Moolchandani (Chairman and Managing Director- Archies Limited) said that Tiger is not only endowed...

One of the most confounding things about following the non-marquee categories at the Oscars is that not every category operates by the same rules. For example they released the super long eligibility list for Best Documentary Feature but not the super long eligibility lists for the live action shorts. To further complicate matters, this doesn't seem to be the same strategy each year.
Tim recently shared the finalist list for Best Animated Short nominations and now we have the ten Live Action hopefuls from which Academy members will nominate three to five. I personally hate it when categories have a fluctuating amount of nominees. Commit AMPAS! There's no excuse for it really in short films since there are thousands made each year and certainly at least 5 of them would have to be great.
