{***VO***} HELLO AND WELCOME TO THE Q-N-N NEWSCAST. I’M SYDNEY REYNOLDS. HERE ARE THREE THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW… {***VO***} IT’S OSCAR MONTH, AND WE HAVE SO MANY SUCCESSFUL FILMS TO CELEBRATE. DAVID FINCHER’S “MANK” CAME OUT ON TOP THIS YEAR, EARNING 10 NOMINATIONS THIS SEASON. HISTORY WAS ALSO MADE IN MANY CATEGORIES. FOR THE FIRST TIME, TWO WOMEN ARE UP FOR BEST DIRECTOR. STEVEN YEUN IS ALSO THE FIRST ASIAN AMERICAN MAN TO BE NOMINATED FOR BEST ACTOR.  ANOTHER NOMINATION OF NOTE IS THE LATE CHADWICK BOSEMAN IN “MA RAINEY’S BLACK BOTTOM”. THE OSCARS WILL PREMIERE APRIL 25 AT 8PM EDT. {***VO***} IF YOU’VE BEEN MEANING TO SEE THESE NOMINATED FILMS, LOOK NO FURTHER THAN NEW YORK CITY. THEATERS ARE NOW OPENING BACK UP TO 25% CAPACITY.  SOME ARE ALLOWING POPCORN AND SODA, WHILE OTHERS ARE STAYING STRICT ON MASKS. SO SKIP THE STREAMING AND HEAD TO A THEATER NEAR YOU! THE FIRST EVER CARTOON NATIVE AMERICAN CHARACTER IS COMING TO YOUR SCREENS ON NICKELODEON AND HE’S ALREADY GETTING NOTICED! CHARLES LITTLE BULL IS ON THE NEW SHOW “THE CASAGRANDES”, AND IS A GRAD STUDENT WHO LOVES TUTORING. WECHONEE AND OMAKA ARE BIG FANS OF THE SHOW.   {***SOT***} “He was very positive...and I liked how they kept him like that. And how they presented him as being smart.“ {***VO***} CRYSTAL ECHO HAWK, FOUNDER OF ILLUMINATIVE, HAS MADE SURE THAT UNDERREPRESENTED CHARACTERS CAN FINALLY HAVE THEIR STORY BE TOLD ON SCREEN. {***VO***} THANKS FOR JOINING US FOR THE Q-N-N NEWSCAST. WE’LL BE BACK NEXT WEEK WITH MORE NEWS.
