Friends who have attended every Super Bowl plan final trip
PORTLAND, Maine — Three friends who have attended every Super Bowl are hoping for a memorable contest this year, because it will probably be their final trip to the big game as a group. The far-flung friends use the Super Bowl to meet up, spend time together and reminisce. They were several rows apart at last year's Super Bowl in Tampa, Florida, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Crisman, a Patriots fan, said he's “moving slower, but I guess that's better than the alternative” as he gets ready for his last Super Bowl. He said he has one caveat about this Super Bowl being his last.

5 big questions before Oscar nominations are announced Tuesday
Oscar nominations will be announced Tuesday morning, settling several questions about Hollywood's second pandemic-muted awards season. No, I'm not talking about “Jackass Forever.”On Tuesday morning, nominations to the 94th annual Academy Awards will be announced. But the Oscar nominations, which will be announced Tuesday beginning at 8:18 a.m. EST by presenters Tracee Ellis Ross and Leslie Jordan, will try to again seize the spotlight after a year of profound change for the industry and a still-unfolding recovery for movie theaters. Two years after Bong Joon Ho's Korean thriller “Parasite” won best picture, a group of acclaimed international films could vie in several top categories. While no film has the broad support that made “Parasite” the first non-English language film to win Hollywood's top honor, Ryusuke Hamaguchi's masterful three-hour Japanese drama “Drive My Car” could squeeze into best picture, best director or best screenplay.

Which country is ROC at the Beijing Olympics?
It will be the third and last Olympics under these restrictions for the country that's officially being called ROC. The colors are even on the flag they marched behind at the Opening Ceremony and will wave when they medal at the Winter Olympics in Beijing. The three-letter code ROC stands for Russian Olympic Committee, whose flag will be used — including a stylized Russian tricolor emblem — and the team is wearing national colors. It's the third and last Olympics under these restrictions for Russia, which fielded an ROC team at last year's Tokyo Olympics and the “Olympic Athlete from Russia” team at the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang, South Korea. The 2018 sanctions were for doping and cover-ups when Russia hosted the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi.
