Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:20:56 GMT

Los Angeles (AP) — “Guillermo del Toro’s Pinocchio” has had an Oscar wish come true.The director’s stop-motion, musical take on the puppet who longs to be a real boy won Netflix its first animated feature trophy on Sunday. The category has primarily gone to either a Walt Disney or Pixar-produced film for the past decade — with the exception of “Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse.”“Pinocchio” was considered the contender to beat. It swept several awards including the Golden Globe and the top honor at the animation industry’s Annie Awards.The voice cast includes Ewan McGregor, Christoph Waltz, fellow Oscar nominee Cate Blanchett and Tilda Swinton.It earned rave reviews for a stunningly beautiful production that takes a dark look at issues of love and mortality between the titular puppet and surrogate father, Gepetto. A polar opposite of Disney’s 1940 version, this “Pinocchio” references Catholicism, fascism and the ugliness of war.The Mexican-born del Toro, who won the Osca...

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Scottie Scheffler was fearless on a TPC Sawgrass course that can jangle the nerves on every hole. The wind was getting stronger, the targets looked smaller, and all he wanted was to make sure his lead got larger in The Players Championship.“You can’t limp in on this golf course,” he said. “You’ve got to hit the shots.”He did every bit of that Sunday in a masterful performance that only enhanced his reputation as a player who’s at his best when playing the best in the world.Scheffler ran off five straight birdies in the middle of his round, built a six-shot lead and left all the drama to everyone else on his way to a 3-under 69 to win the richest prize on the PGA Tour by five shots.As a half-dozen players tried to make a game of it, Scheffler took on the daunting Players Stadium Course as if he was playing alone. And that’s how he made it look.“Just looks like he’s calm, just doing his business, not really worrying what eve...

Kris Letang knows the Pittsburgh Penguins have the NHL’s oldest team. The 35-year-old defenseman is one of the reasons why.The Penguins have never missed the playoffs during Letang’s 17-year career. They know what it takes to get there, even if this time around it may have taken a little longer than usual for that postseason push to begin.It’s well underway now, and Letang is right in the middle of it.Letang’s blast from the point 1:38 into overtime lifted Pittsburgh to a 3-2 victory over the New York Rangers on Sunday, strengthening his team’s grasp on the first wild-card spot in the Eastern Conference.Not bad for a team that looked lost after getting blown out at home by Edmonton on Feb. 23. The Penguins are 7-1-1 since.“I think if you look at our age average, a lot of guys have the experience and they know what to do to turn it on and make sure we get in the postseason and we start getting confident,” Letang said after his third overtime winner of th...

Padres’ Melvin ponders 6-man rotation, opening day starter

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 13:20:56 GMT

The San Diego Padres are flirting with the idea of beginning the season with a six-man pitching rotation.Settling on an opening day starter, though, may not be as easy a decision for manager Bob Melvin.With Joe Musgrove sidelined by a toe injury and Yu Darvish pitching for Japan in the World Baseball Classic, Melvin is exploring options that could include Blake Snell or Michael Wacha.Musgrove, who’s on the mend after dropping a weight on his left big toe, is set to throw a bullpen session Monday.And while he has made progress in his recovery since having the nail taken off the toe, there’s no guarantee he’ll ready for the March 30 opener against the Colorado Rockies.If Musgrove doesn’t suffer a setback, though, there’s a chance he could be inserted at the rear of the proposed six-man rotation the Padres are considering because they are scheduled to begin the season with a stretch of 24 games in 25 days.“It is pretty amazing to me, but since he got the nail taken off the pain has sub...
