#MovietimeInManhattan @TheAcademy #OSCARS THE ACADEMY TO HONOR DEBBIE ALLEN, TOM CRUISE, DOLLY PARTON AND WYNN THOMAS AT THE 2025 GOVERNORS AWARDS

Oscar® statuettes to be presented to these honorees on November 16

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced today that its Board of Governors voted to present Academy Honorary Awards to Debbie Allen, Tom Cruise and Wynn Thomas, and the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award to Dolly Parton. The four Oscar® statuettes will be presented at the Academy’s 16th Governors Awards event on Sunday, November 16, 2025, at the Ray Dolby Ballroom at Ovation Hollywood.

“This year’s Governors Awards will celebrate four legendary individuals whose extraordinary careers and commitment to our filmmaking community continue to leave a lasting impact,” said Academy President Janet Yang. “The Academy’s Board of Governors is honored to recognize these brilliant artists. Debbie Allen is a trailblazing choreographer and actor, whose work has captivated generations and crossed genres. Tom Cruise’s incredible commitment to our filmmaking community, to the theatrical experience, and to the stunts community has inspired us all. Beloved performer Dolly Parton exemplifies the spirit of the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award through her unwavering dedication to charitable efforts. And production designer Wynn Thomas has brought some of the most enduring films to life through a visionary eye and mastery of his craft.”

Allen’s indelible impact on screen spans nearly five decades as a choreographer, actor, and producer. She choreographed the Academy Awards® ceremony seven times, as well as films including “Forget Paris,” “A Jazzman's Blues” and “The Six Triple Eight.” Her producing credits include “Amistad” and “A Star for Rose.” Allen made her mark as an actress with “Fame,” “Ragtime” and “Jo Jo Dancer, Your Life is Calling.”

One of the most recognized and highest-grossing actors of all time, Cruise has been a committed advocate of the theatrical experience, and he helped to usher the industry through a challenging time during the COVID-19 pandemic. Showcasing a deep commitment to his craft – including performing all of his own stunts – his expansive body of work includes his Oscar-nominated acting roles in “Born on the Fourth of July,” “Jerry Maguire” and “Magnolia,” and the Oscar-nominated “Top Gun: Maverick,” for which he earned a Best Picture nomination as producer. His other notable film credits include “Risky Business,” “A Few Good Men,” “Interview with the Vampire,” “Eyes Wide Shut,” “Vanilla Sky” and the “Mission: Impossible” film series.

Parton is an international icon whose remarkable career spans seven decades. A renowned musical artist and one of the most accomplished in history, with 49 studio albums and more than 100 million records sold worldwide, she has starred in such films as “Nine to Five” and “Steel Magnolias.” She has earned two Oscar nominations in the Original Song category for “Nine to Five” and for “Travelin’ Thru” from “Transamerica.” With this Governors Award, a Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, Parton will be recognized for her decades-long humanitarian efforts. She has founded various charitable and philanthropic organizations, including the Dollywood Foundation, which was created in 1988 to inspire the children of East Tennessee – her home state – to achieve educational success. Additionally, her literacy program, “Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library,” launched in 1995 in honor of her father, has provided children with 285 million books. It evolved into an international movement and remains the signature program of the Dollywood Foundation.

Acclaimed production designer Thomas began his career working on Spike Lee’s “She’s Gotta Have It,” which would be the first of several collaborations between the two. Thomas’s film credits include Lee’s “Do the Right Thing,” “Malcolm X” and “Da 5 Bloods.” Other notable credits from his career include the Best Picture-winning “A Beautiful Mind,” as well as “Cinderella Man” and “Hidden Figures,” to name a few.

The Honorary Award, an Oscar statuette, is given “to honor extraordinary distinction in lifetime achievement, exceptional contributions to the state of motion picture arts and sciences in any discipline, or for outstanding service to the Academy.”

The Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award, also an Oscar statuette, is given “to an individual in the motion picture arts and sciences whose humanitarian efforts have brought credit to the industry by promoting human welfare and contributing to rectifying inequities.”

The 16th Governors Awards are presented in partnership with Rolex, the Exclusive Watch of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

#InauguralReview #Pamina #Gelato #Dolce #Italian Since 2023 by #EmanueleNigro #RiccardoOrfino and #WaelDeek #461SixthAvenue #Manhattan

 

Founder and Owner of Pamina, Emanuele Nigro

They might put the Dolce before the Gelato in their name, but here at Whom You Know, not much is more important than ice cream and gelato.  There are a lot of venues that serve these in Manhattan, but few are featured because they don't demonstrate the level of excellence that Emanuele Nigro does with the ultimate in freshness right down the the pistachio gelato that he made in front of us and we tried!

Videos and pictures speak louder than words:

It was fabulously exciting to see all of their kitchen space during this third visit and we are glad and not surprised to tell you it is spotless and filled with quality, fresh ingredients.

This is the One More Hospitality Group hat trick.

They previously were lauded for inaugural reviews of Osteria 57 and Alice.

So far, so excellent and they MAY have even MORE tricks up their sleeve...

Pamina is a cute spot just around the corner from where we just visited them at Alice, and it opened on August 10, 2023 which is the night of the shooting stars in Italy.  Pamina, as you learned from the video, is the daughter of the Queen of the Night in the Magic Flute.  Emanuele tells us it's the story of free will and being unconventional, following an instinct.  That should sound familiar to you if you have read the previous 30,000 articles!  Philosophically we are aligned with Emanuele and team.

The gelato itself is phenomenal and the best we have had anywhere this season.  In addition to the spectacular pistachio, we tried the vanilla custard cream which sets itself apart from mundane vanillas elsewhere by adding one drop of Jasmine per 100 servings of gelato. You can taste this slight accentuation which distinguishes without overwhelming the gelato.  Of course if you have read us before aside from apple pie a la mode, the correct answer to dessert absolutely must be chocolate for Peachy and Emanuele is reading: the chocolate gelato was the best and if she never had to fit in her clothes again the only thing Peachy would be doing in this record breaking heat is eating the Chocolate Gelato from Pamina ALL DAY without her computer or camera or pen or keyboard.  This is what you should be doing now: eating this gelato.

We had a tiny taste of the sorbets however not enough to really comment on them, so stay tuned.

If for some insane reason you don't like Gelato, or if you are reading this in January, note the Panna Cotta comes with strawberries, and it's separated by a plastic layer!  This is a small example of a big detail that these guys get right.  Obviously this makes it freshest when you personally choose to combine them.  They are detail people too and we love it.  If we are going to eat a muffin it's got to be chocolate and this one is 70 percent dark Valrhona and the chocolate grade which tells you the quality of chocolate is Guanaja.  

Pamina impressed us on our first visit and you should be sprinting there in this heat!!!

We can't wait to see what they do next.

#SensationalSalad A Peachy's Pick Since 2022 #PaulsOnTimesSquare Since 2014 by #PaulNicaj #ExecutiveChef #DinoRedzic #NickKrkuti #134West42ndStreet #Manhattan

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful, says the Caprese Salad!

We are thrilled to present the newest Sensational Salads: Paul's on Times Squre.

Living Legend Paul Nicaj, Peachy's pal since she first reviewed his work right after Hurricane Sandy, has hit the high notes again and we even found our own wine to go with them.  Of course after twelve years of knowing her, they also brought her water with lemons vertically quartered with a smile.  

Of course you avid readers know we never edit pictures.

When it is 100F plus plus plus like it is today, you know you want to be eating salad especially.

Caprese Salad is the ideal refreshment with Buffalo Mozzarella teaming up with Heirloom Tomatoes, Roasted Peppers and Balsamic.  It goes without saying that no one gets featured for twelve years straight like Paul, Dino and Nick have without serving us the freshest cuisine each and every time.  This is the basic version of the salad.

Next, the Caesar Salad is a total classic.  Crispy Romaine with Shaved Parmesan and Homemade Croutons of course with Caesar Dressing will impress you and remember these basic salads are perfect for people that don't eat fish or meat or are looking for just a sidekick nutritionally to their main course.  You know, like the main course of Lobster Mac and Cheese and Cabernet!

Arugula Salad is a party with candied walnuts that are like Times Square confetti on the arugula!  Cranberries and Balsamic seal the deal.  These three comprise the basics, and you can add shrimp, salmon or chicken and we did just that.

These are among the most expertly seared shrimp you'll encounter in New York and you'll love each one!  They are a generous size and boast great flavor.

The Salmon is particularly triumphant with the Arugula and we commend how warm and fresh it is.  Well-cut chicken joins anchovies if your little heart desires to make the Caesar salad accurate to its true nature.  Paul's on Times Square was ironically last featured in the dead of winter so we wanted to show you just what they can do in the sweltering heat!

Naturally Peachy cannot resist the Lobster Mac and Cheese!

Peachy Deegan, Manager Gustavo Bovolin and Sous Chef Since 2013 Felipe Sanchez

Paul's On Times Square continues to be Highly Recommended by Whom You Know and they have sensational salad.

Public communications (including any social media posts, reposts, shares and comments) may not disparage the techniques used in or subject matter of any motion picture. Any Academy member, motion picture company or individual directly associated with an eligible motion picture found to be in violation will be subject to penalization.

#InauguralReview #Alice #Italian #Seafood and #Lobster Bar Since 2021 by #EmanueleNigro #RiccardoOrfino and #WaelDeek #126West13thStreet #SixthAvenue and #SeventhAvenue #Manhattan

Owners and Founders Riccardo Orfino, Executive Chef and Emanuele Nigro at Alice

The crowing glory of Alice: Lobster Truffle Pappardelle, your new best friend

Everyone knows it's not who you know, it's WHOM YOU KNOW and we know Mover and Shaker Rennie McQuilkin is reading upstairs today.  Did you know that this website is named after his tenth grade English class?!  Before anyone rolls their eyes and says there goes Peachy talking about another Italian place let us say: this time it's different.  Allow us to qualify and quantify this.  This is the second review earned by One More Hospitality; they earlier earned a feature for Osteria 57.  Many places are a one trick pony at their one place.  Some places are excellent and are not one trick ponies and have a sensational single place.  But One More Hospitality has so much more.

One More Hospitality is the brilliant trio of our pal Emanuele Nigro (we told you he had a hat trick coming; you can consider this his second goal), Riccardo Orfino and Waek Deek, and this is appropriately their second review at their second business.  Alice is an Italian Seafood and Lobster bar, opened on February 14, 2021 and the kitchen is led of course by Executive Chef Riccardo Orfino, whom we were pleased as punch to meet this time and obviously work with directly.  A native of Castelfranco, Veneto, our friend Riccardo is a 2005 graduate of Maffioli and though he is a modest personality we shall brag about his Michelin Star background coming from Il Luogo Di Aimo E Nadia in Milan.  You know, kind of like the diamond check mark with the peach if you like Michelin Stars!  Italy's loss became America's gain in 2018 when Riccardo moved here and teamed up with Emanuele.

Alice is beautiful and we were graciously greeted by pinstriped Faheem complete with his Scottish accent.  The back room we liked best.

Fritto Misto started off the show when the curtain was raised on Alice, and the fresh Long Island calamari, jumbo shrimp and asparagus tempura ignited our appetite and sang a song of summer. We loved the aioli.  Normally we do not eat fried foods anywhere ever however these guys are superior talent and it is lighter and nicer at Alice.

Spring Market Salad is the envy of other salads in the city in its ravishing freshness.  We would love to see many, many more salads on the menu.  Riccardo personally goes to the Union Square market three times a week he tells us and picks out everything himself, taking immense pride in his vocation.  70 percent of the produce at Alice is from Union Square.  They listened and put the dressing on the side for Ms. Uberpicky who always wants to dress it herself.

No one should be surprised at their commanding pasta skills.  A year-round favorite we are told is the Linguine Vongole: Manila Clams which arrive fresh every two days we are told. It's joined by garlic, white wine, parsley and peperoncino that tell your stomach that classic done this well is where it's at.  And equally convincing is the red number Riccardo suggested we try: Spaghettone Pomodoro is elevated to the higher echelons with Corbara tomatoes grown in Campania, San Marzano tomatoes and Cherry Tomatoes. This trifecta tomato team will wow you, much like the holy trinity of owners!  Basil and evoo come to the party and of course all of their venues serve the pasta that they personally make on premises.

Of course we wanted cheese pretty please.

The crowning achievement of Alice is without a doubt the Lobster Black Truffle Papperdelle which you will be silenced by because it is so near perfection that any conversation would be of secondary importance.  The truffles are sourced from Umbria, Italy.  Tasting the flavor combination is a religious experience and the elements are in perfect proportion to each other.  We understand this may be a special and it may alternatively come with King Crab; regardless, saying Lobster or King Crab to Peachy Deegan is like saying what kind of shoes does she want from Italy next?  All of them of course!  You are not living your best life if you are not eating this for dinner.   It tastes like your birthday and Christmas combined and as this is the only time we have had it we must say we hope they keep it up!

The Filetto is another complete triumph and as you can see it is fabulously medium rare exactly as we ordered it.  It is hiding a little bit!  Steakhouses cannot do what Riccardo does here: the triumphant eight ounce tenderloin is having a party like the Panthers with the Stanley Cup in green peppercorn, charred asparagus, snap peas and tarragon which compliment the carnivorous endeavor charmingly.  By far this was our favorite entree right down to the decadent dill which is sublime with the steak, sourced from Pino's Prime Meat.  The excellence of this dish should intimidate all Manhattan steakhouses!

Roasted Chicken perches perfectly upon a finely crafted potato mousse joined by morel mushrooms and marsala jus for a satisfying entree any time of year.  Sourced from North Carolina every two days, Swordfish is another winner with charred ramps, pickled heirloom radishes and peperonata.  The menu at Alice is changed four times a year making it even more competitive.

Lots of places have the usual suspects of sides but at Alice they have Swiss Chard Agrodolce: Pine Nuts, Sherry Vinegar and just the right amount of Golden Raisins.  Try it!

Alice wowed us on our first visit and we look forward to seeing what they do next.
