Donald Glover is riding high this awards season
Donald Glover
Los Angeles - ArabToday
Last Sunday, the creator and star of FX’s Atlanta picked up a Critics’ Choice award for actor in a comedy, and this week he was nominated for two Golden Globes and three NAACP image awards. The distinctive Atlanta has been a fixture on many critics’ best-of lists, including Thursday’s released by the American Film Institute.
And chances are this is just the beginning as he sets his sights on the Billboard charts and the big screen. Look for him at next year’s Emmys and as a contender at the Grammys in 2018, when Glover’s new Funkadelic-informed album, Awaken My Love!, from his musical alter ego Childish Gambino will be eligible after earning raves and a top-five debut this month. In addition, it was recently announced that Glover will step into Billy Dee Williams’ shoes as a young Lando Calrissian in an upcoming Star Wars movie.
Glover’s career began as a writer and occasional guest on Tina Fey’s 30 Rock, and he raised some eyebrows in 2013 by leaving NBC’s cult comedy Community after five seasons. Now we understand why.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
