Do you consider yourself a film fanatic? Put your cinematic knowledge to the test by exploring this carefully curated compilation of beautiful scenes in cinema. A compilation of “The Most Beautiful Shots In Movie History” was put together by The Solomon Society, an Ireland-based YouTube account. This two-part collection of iconic moments recalls resonant scenes that live in cinematic perpetuity. Each video runs for under four minutes but packs in a number of scenes from Golden Age classics as well as contemporary phenoms.

From the glory days of Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn, and John Wayne to the modern-day marvels of Natalie Portman and Joaquin Phoenix, film continues to enchant humans with its visual storytelling capabilities. The history of this medium is undoubtedly fascinating, and The Solomon Society has taken it upon itself to do a deep dive into motion picture history and cherry pick what it considers to be some of the most beautiful scenes. Everything from composition and color to costuming and camerawork make these clips both beautiful and iconic.

One prime example of their selection is the famous elevator scene from the comedy-crime film Grand Budapest Hotel. In this composition, the illustrious Wes Anderson intentionally chose the deep purple against the bright red backdrop in this tightly cropped scene. Despite sharing a small, intimate space, the actors are seemingly disconnected from one another. Birdman, directed by Alejandro González Iñárritu, is also a representation of the creativity used in visual storytelling. A Steadicam tracks Michael Keaton's movement as he approaches the cashier at the liquor store. This intentional framing enhances the emotional distress of Keaton's character. Another notable excerpt highlighted by this video is from Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope. The light of the sky fades as Luke Skywalker walks towards the binary sunset off in the horizon. Rich oranges and hues of blue establish a hopeful undertone to the scene, leaving viewers enamored with the wonders of cinematography. Like a symphony, George Lucas carefully organized the colors, lighting, score, script, set, and acting to come together to convey a particular story.

Each of these noteworthy moments in movies are a drop in the pool of cinematic history. Knowing that any one four-minute video can't capture every stunning scene, The Solomon Society has actually released a number of compilations, breaking down the “beauty” of them even further. Their videos include The Most Beautiful Black and White Shots, as well as compilations based on other factors: Multicolor, Blue, Red, Green, and even Space shots.

Scroll down to see some of the different videos they've compiled, and for even more, you can follow The Solomon Society on YouTube.

Actors Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, and Kate Winslet are all stars of the 2022 hit film Avatar: The Way of Water. Recently, they posed for photographer Christy Lee Rogers in an underwater photo series that celebrated our oceans while also raising money for a good cause.

The director of the Avatar series, James Cameron, and Disney commissioned the photos as a way to raise money for The Nature Conservancy. The organization has the goal of conserving 10% of the world’s oceans by 2030, and some of the proceeds from the sale of Rogers’ prints will go toward supporting that mission.

In addition to being for a good cause, the photos are also gorgeous in their own right. The actors are dressed in eye-catching blue and purple fabric that swirls and blends in with their equally beautiful surroundings. They are shot to look like they are floating, weightlessly, with closed eyes and spread arms, effortlessly in harmony with the world around them.

On her website, Rogers states, “Water is healing—it’s life itself. And as the provider of life—oxygen to all through tiny phytoplankton, our oceans need our care more than ever right now. It is a great honor to be able to help James Cameron, Jon Landau, and the ‘Avatar’ and Disney teams in realizing that dream of clean and protected world oceans—through the release of these images for The Nature Conservancy.”

Those interested in purchasing Rogers’ prints can do so through her website.

What's your favorite musical? Do you belt out “Defying Gravity” when you're alone? Do you still dance anytime “Seasons of Love” from Rent starts playing? Do you still dream of the incredible costumes from The Lion King? Chances are, if you're a Broadway enthusiast or music aficionado, you know George Gershwin's work. Born in 1898, the legendary composer produced classics throughout his short life before dying in 1937. He wrote the opera Porgy and Bess as well as the original Funny Face musical starring Audrey Hepburn and Fred Astaire.

Among his works, there was a gap—the musical known as La La Lucille had been missing, its words and music largely unknown for a century. While scholars had previously tried to recreate the lost work, this process took a sudden leap forward with the surprise discovery of the lost, original sheet music by a University of Michigan professor in the Amherst College Archives in Massachusetts.

La La Lucille premiered on Broadway in 1919. It was an important early work of Gershwin's composition, based on a book by Fred Jackson and paired with the lyrics of four authors. It is set on a wild night in New York when a married couple learns of a sudden inheritance, their acceptance of which is conditional on their divorce. The wife, a former showgirl named Lucille, and her husband plan a deception of comic proportions to keep both their love and the money. The music, composed entirely by a brilliant 20-year-old Gershwin, ushers the characters through the plot. However, the loss of sheet music for many songs has reduced these tunes to a few extant piano versions.

University of Michigan scholar Jacob Kerzner was perusing the Amherst College archives in summer 2023. In the Samuel French Collection, he discovered a surprising stack of about 800 pages full of scores. This complete orchestration includes music for flutes, cellos, and other accompanying instruments that had not been heard for almost a century. The musical's last recorded performance, while on the road, was in Massachusetts in 1926. This may be why the scores ended up in Amherst.

In February 2024, music students at the University of Michigan performed songs from the musical alongside this complete music. Junior Aquila Sol sang “Somehow It Seldom Comes True,” while junior Keyon Pickett performed “From Now On.” Professor Jayce Ogren conducted.

“We get to hear these fun flute lines that we hadn’t noticed,” Kerzner told M Live. “We get to warm up some of these ballads with strings, and we get to even see some of the changes in harmony that may not have been published in the piano-vocal, but that George Gershwin or Frank Saddler may have adjusted as they developed this show for Broadway.” A critical edition of the work is also said to be in the works.

The music and lyrics of La La Lucille, a lost Gershwin musical first performed in 1919, were rediscovered a century later by a scholar from the University of Michigan.

The musical, discovered in Amherst College's archives, tells the story of a couple who receives a surprise inheritance.

Listen to some of the long-lost songs yourselves and enjoy the music.

Some of the catchiest songs out there are inspired by love, heartbreak, or simply partying; however, the next club hit could be a fun song about kangaroo behavior. If it sounds like an obscure scientific topic, that's because it is. Weliton Menário Costa, who goes by WELI, is a biologist who just won the a science competition named “Dance Your PhD” with an upbeat tune called “Kangaroo Time.” The catchy track is even accompanied by a fun and insightful music video based on his research.

“Dance Your PhD” is exactly what it sounds like. Scientists submit videos featuring them dancing while they explain what their research is about, as well as their findings, in simple terms. Even if they are averse to the camera, the researcher must be part of the dance. This wasn't an issue for WELI, a creative soul with a knack for songwriting. Not only does he star in the video, but he is also the one who sings on the track.

“I've had a passion for creative writing since I was 18,” WELI tells My Modern Met. “However, my scientific endeavors somewhat stifled my creative expression, leading to a prolonged creative block. About a year before creating ‘Kangaroo Time,' I started performing at pubs and open mics, which reignited my songwriting. I would craft the lyrics and melody, and my guitarist friend would create the chords.”

As an immigrant to Australia from Brazil who identifies as queer, WELI found solace in the different personalities observed in the Eastern grey kangaroos, his subject of study. The “Kangaroo Time” music video cleverly depicts and relays some interesting facts about how diversity is inherent to them and many other species. For example, each kangaroo has a unique personality and it appears early in life; and yet, kangaroos can adjust their behavior when in groups and react in different ways when they encounter something new.

To depict this, WELI summoned a diverse group of friends and artists, including drag queens and samba dancers. By spotlighting several genres of dance—as well as the willingness of them all to fall into rhythm and coordinate with one another—WELI both makes his research accessible and sends an uplifting message. “Differences lead to diversity,” the music video explains. “It exists within any given species, it's just natural.”

“The video shoot felt like my graduation, and its success was akin to winning Eurovision!” WELI says. The momentum of the song has even inspired him to take this endeavor a step further. And so, he has released an EP titled Yours Academically, Dr. WELI. “My heart was torn between science and the vibrant world of pop music. After my PhD, I left academia to explore dance and music more freely, which is when I met many of the dancers featured in my video.” Made up of four songs, The EP chronicles his departure from academia to setting his sights on pursuing a music career.

For WELI, the experience of marrying pop music and science was “incredibly fulfilling.” With a little luck, it won't be long until he is filling dance floors with his research-inspired hits. “I hope listeners will be touched by the exuberance of diversity, collaboration, and interdisciplinarity,” he shares. “Any additional insights they gain, whether about kangaroo science or societal aspects, would be an added benefit.”

From Pedro Pascal's confession of being “a little drunk” at the SAG Awards to Emma Stone pointing out the broken zipper on her dress while accepting her Oscar, the 2024 awards season has been filled with hilariously candid speeches. And after Robert Downey Jr. won his first Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Oppenheimer, he combined humor and humility as he delivered his own speech.

“I'd like to thank my terrible childhood, and the Academy, in that order,” Downey joked after thanking the presenters. “I’d like to thank my veterinarian—I meant wife, Susan Downey—over there. She found me a snarling rescue pet and you loved me back to life. That’s why I’m here. Thank you.”

Downey's early acting career was unfortunately marred by controversy as he struggled with a drug addiction and was often in trouble with the law. In April 2001, Downey committed to getting clean, and has been sober since 2003. Several years later, he was cast as Tony Stark in Iron Man, which propelled him to the international fame that he has been enjoying ever since.

“Here’s my little secret,” Downey confessed in his speech. “I needed this job more than it needed me. Chris [Nolan] knew it. Emma [Thomas] made sure that she surrounded me with one of the great casts and crews of all time—Emily [Blunt], Cillian [Murphy]. It was fantastic. And I stand here before you a better man because of it.”

In addition to being the actor's first Oscar, Downey also made history for being the first former Saturday Night Live cast member to win the award.

For Hollywood A-listers, the Academy Awards ceremony is a glamorous event, but the night isn't over once the ceremony concludes. It's just the first part of their evening. Many of the Oscar attendees switch into yet another dazzling outfit and dance the night away at one of the exclusive parties hosted by brands, studios, and publications. The Vanity Fair Oscar Party is arguably the most coveted of these after-parties, and on top of mingling with their peers, stars get to walk away with a striking portrait by photographer Mark Seliger.

The 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party marks the 11th time Seliger has commanded the Oscar Portrait Studio. This time, the photographer switched the golden ritz of previous years for a moody, brutalist-looking background. While it creates the illusion that the party was held at a cold and isolated industrial plant, it was a commissioned set built for the occasion.

Among those who posed for Seliger was Emma Stone, who won the Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role for portraying Bella Baxter in Poor Things. Meanwhile, Christopher Nolan's Oppenheimer was the biggest winner of the night, taking home seven trophies, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor in a Leading Role for Cillian Murphy and Best Actor in a Supporting Role for Robert Downey Jr. Once at the party, Nolan posed with his wife and producer Emma Thomas alongside their Oscar statuettes.

First-time nominee and winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph also had her portrait taken, after having one of the most moving moments earlier in the evening. While being presented by former winner Lupita Nyong'o, The Holdovers star wiped a tear of joy. Switching from a blue gown to a tight black dress for the evening, she posed strong and proud for Seliger's camera.

Nominees and other celebrities also made their way to the party, showing off their daring ensembles with playful poses. Anya Taylor-Joy evoked her work in Dune 2 with a commanding arm, while Mark Ruffalo relied on his heartthrob powers to offer a mesmerizing look. It girl Sydney Sweeney evoked old Hollywood with her archival Marc Bouwer gown that Angelina Jolie first wore to the Academy Awards 20 years ago, while Colman Domingo modeled the length of his shimmering coat.

Scroll down to see more glamorous photos from the 2023 Oscar Portrait Studio, including images of Jennifer Lawrence, Lily Gladstone, Jeffrey Wright, and many more.

George Michael is one of the biggest musical icons of the 80s. Both his solo hits and the ones he released with WHAM! came to define the music of the time, and continue to make their way to the airwaves four decades after they came out. To pay tribute to this legendary singer-songwriter, the Royal Mint has released a series of collectible coins featuring Michael's likeness.

Available in different precious-metal versions as well as a variety of colors, the coin shows Michael wearing sunglasses and a jacket with an upturned collar. The background is a graphic visualization of the refrain of Michael's song “Faith.” Additionally, the £5 Brilliant Uncirculated Color Coin and the 1oz Silver Proof Color Coin feature details in black and red, colors that, according to the Royal Mint, the singer used “prominently” throughout his career.

“From the beginning of the project, I was clear about certain elements that I wanted to incorporate into the design,” says Sandra Deiana, designer of the George Michael coin.”I wanted a detailed portrait that captured his charismatic expression—I was particularly thinking of his iconic sunglasses. It’s amazing to be able to pay tribute to his music and what you see in the design is truly a piece of George Michael's song.”

The George Michael coin is part of The Royal Mint's music legends series, which also includes David Bowie, Elton John, and Queen. Like all coins issued by the Royal Mint, the George Michael limited-edition coin is legal tender, and its reverse features a picture of King Charles III.

The design was approved by Michael's estate and also marks 2023 as the year that his holiday song “Last Christmas” reached number one on the UK charts, 39 years after its initial release. “On behalf of George Michael, we are deeply honored that the Royal Mint is paying tribute to him by creating a series of beautifully crafted coins,” said a spokesperson from Michael's estate in a statement. “He would have been enormously proud and genuinely touched that a national institution should have decided to pay tribute to his memory in this way.”

Paul McCartney's violin-shaped Hofner bass is a symbol of The Beatles' early years, much like their polished suits and moptop hairdos. While its appearance on countless shows and studio recordings would have made it worthy of being displayed in a museum, it had a much different fate. In 1972, it was stolen from a van, and its whereabouts remained a mystery for over half a century. Now, thanks to an exhaustive online campaign, the iconic bass has been returned to its rightful owner.

The story of McCartney's bass began all the way back in 1961. After reluctantly taking over the role of bass player from Stuart Sutcliffe, McCartney purchased his first bass guitar, a Hofner 500/1 model, during his time in Hamburg. “This was the bass that powered Beatlemania,” reads The Lost Bass Project site, the effort behind its return. “He used it in Hamburg for several residencies, he played it over 250 times at The Cavern Club. It was used to record The Beatle’s first two albums—Please Please Me and With The Beatles. It’s the bass you hear on ‘Love Me Do,' ‘Twist and Shout,' ‘All My Loving,' ‘She Loves You' and other hit singles.”

Two years later, McCartney got another almost identical Höfner bass, with the original Hamburg-bought version becoming a backup. But even then the original was used in key sessions, like the recording of Let It Be.

After its disappearance, the instrument was thought to be lost or destroyed.  In 2018, a worldwide search was launched, with hundreds of fans sending tips and leads. However, it wasn't until 2023, that the search truly moved forward. After piecing together all the details from the theft, The Lost Bass Project realized who had stolen it and where it might have been all this time. After publishing an article detailing their findings, their message reached the right person. Turns out, the bass had been in the same family for five decades.

“As a result of the publicity, someone living in a terraced house in Hastings on the south coast of England contacted Paul McCartney’s company and then returned the bass to them. The search was over—Paul had his stolen bass back at last!” While it had some damage, The Lost Bass Project has said that it can easily be repaired by someone with experience, making it playable again.

The Beatles member announced the return of his beloved instrument via his website. “Following the launch of last year’s Lost Bass project, Paul’s 1961 Höfner 500/1 bass guitar, which was stolen in 1972, has been returned,” said his team in a statement. “The guitar has been authenticated by Höfner and Paul is incredibly grateful to all those involved.”

Did you tune in to the 96th Academy Awards? Like every other year, the top film actors, directors, writers, editors, and more dressed their best for a night of glamour and celebration of cinema. What set this year apart has to be the incredibly entertaining performance by Barbie star Ryan Gosling.

Dressed in an all-pink suit bedazzled with sparkly crystals, the multitalented actor took to the stage to perform his Oscar-nominated song “I’m Just Ken” from the movie Barbie. In true Ken fashion, Gosling embodied the character throughout the number. He began in the audience, right behind Barbie herself (Margot Robbie) and made his way to the main stage, where he was met with a group of other “Kens” that were fully suited up with cowboy hats on. The following choreography really took the performance to another level.

Harkening back to the set design, costuming, and routine of Marilyn Monroe’s “Diamonds Are a Girl’s Best Friend” from Gentleman Prefer Blondes, Gosling was the beautiful blonde at the center of it all. After bearing his soul through song with his fellow Kens—including co-stars Simu Liu, Scott Evans, Kingsley Ben-Adir, and Ncuti Gatwa—Gosling was lifted by his patriarchy pals and then joined by iconic guitarist Slash. Finally, he hopped off the stage to join his Barbie team—Greta Gerwig, Margot Robbie, and America Ferrera—in the audience for a sing-along. As he made his way through the crowd of his creative peers, he stopped by his La La Land co-star (and now two-time Oscar winner) Emma Stone, before heading back on stage for an explosive end to the performance.

Though “I’m Just Ken” didn’t wind up winning the Academy Award for Best Music (Original Song), Gosling definitely won the night with this performance. And his wife, Eva Mendes, who did not attend the ceremony, took to Instagram right after, saying: “You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”

The set, costuming, and choreography clearly took inspiration from Marilyn Monroe's “Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend” from the film Gentlemen Prefer Blondes:

But once the song and dance was done, Gosling's wife Eva Mendes made sure to post on Instagram: “You took Ken all the way to the Oscar’s, RG. Now come home, we need to put the kids to bed.”

“This year marks A DECADE OF COSPLAY!!!” Tabbitha writes in the caption for the video. “I started cosplaying in 2014! I always loved dressing up for Halloween, and other themed events, but when I found out about cosplay my whole world changed!” The short clip doubles as a portfolio of her creations, which includes iconic superheroes, video game icons, and cult movie characters .

“Most of these costumes, especially the more difficult and detailed ones, were made by myself,” she explains. “All of the wigs and makeup done by myself.” Tabbitha shares that while some people think she just buys and models the costumes, that's not true at all. “I love making them just as much, if not more than wearing them. Which is why I post so many tutorials and patterns, so other people can learn the fun, creativity, and reward of making costumes themselves!”

Throughout the years, Tabbitha has mastered every single element of her craft. While her side-by-side comparisons with the resulting cosplays can prompt making a double take, the full-production videos insert her into the world of her characters. When doing video game characters, she even aces the mechanic movement of vintage renderings.

Still, her most breathtaking cosplays are those that, with the help of clever contouring, turn her into Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman, Margot Robbie's Harley Quinn, or even Johnny Depp's Captain Jack Sparrow—her first cosplay ever. And she remains committed to a certain level of detail whether the character is human or not–like Nebula from Avengers or Mystique from X-Men.

“I don't see myself ever not loving cosplay, it just such a huge showcase of artistic hobbies such as; designing, acting, sewing, makeup, hair styling, armor making, pattern drafting, engineering, photography, editor, sculpting, painting, and sooooo much more!” she shares. Tabbitha loves her craft so much, that she hopes to inspire those who want to join it. “If you have been wanting to get into, or have lost your passion for it, let this inspire you, to do it for nothing other than fun, friends, and to express yourself creatively. And good things will follow when you let that lead you.”

Since 2014, cosplayer Alyson Tabbitha has amazed pop culture fans with her highly detailed transformations.
