Welcome to your weekly dose of entertainment news! From vibrant carnival celebrations to the glitz and glamour of the Oscars, and even some sharp culinary critiques, there's a little something for everyone this week.
Cologne Carnival Embraces Diversity
The Cologne Carnival is known for its flamboyant celebrations, but this year marked a special milestone. For the first time, the traditional triumvirate – Virgin Marlis, Prince René I., and Farmer Michael – is entirely queer. 
Despite some initial concerns, the move has been largely met with enthusiasm, demonstrating Cologne's commitment to diversity and tolerance. The anticipated backlash simply didn't materialize, proving that sometimes, society is more accepting than we give it credit for.
This inclusive spirit is a breath of fresh air, showing how traditional events can evolve to reflect modern values. It's a reminder that celebrating together should mean celebrating everyone.
Oscar Predictions and Sanremo Secrets
The Oscars are just around the corner! Well, the *next* Oscars, that is. Speculation is already rife about who will take home the coveted Best Foreign Film award. One film, described as a French film entangled with the Gascon case, is already generating buzz. Who *should* win? That's the million-dollar question, and one that will undoubtedly fuel heated debates until the big night.
Across the Alps, the Sanremo Festival continues to provide entertainment fodder. This year, actor Alessandro Borghi has revealed the story behind his performance with his son Vittorio during Maneskin frontman Damiano David's rendition of 'Felicità'. 
Borghi recounted, "When I watched my Sanremo performance again I said: 'But Here You Can't Understand a F***', They Were Afraid That Damiano David Wouldn't Be Seen Enough…" The performance left many scratching their heads, and Borghi has finally shed some light on the situation.
Art and Food Under Scrutiny
Not all reviews are glowing, however. An exhibition titled "Visit Italy!" at Palazzo Madama in Turin has received mixed reactions. While the posters themselves are praised for their artistic merit, the venue and setup have been criticized as inappropriate. 
It seems even the most captivating art can be overshadowed by its surroundings.
And finally, in the world of culinary arts, celebrity chef Iginio Massari is facing some tough criticism. Chef Mori has slammed Massari's Carnival sweet offerings, calling them a "marketing maneuver" and describing the pastry as "feeble" and the babà as "insignificant." Ouch! It seems even the most celebrated chefs aren't immune to harsh reviews. It is all about taste and presentation, and in this case Chef Mori was not a fan.
That's all for this week's entertainment roundup. Stay tuned for more updates on the world of arts, culture, and entertainment!
