15 questions Β· Current events
March 2026 swung between glamour and global crisis. In Hollywood, Paul Thomas Anderson's "One Battle After Another" swept the 98th Academy Awards: six Oscars, including Best Picture. In Milan and Cortina the Paralympics took over the Olympic venues, indoor athletics world champions were crowned in Poland, and Formula 1 entered a new era: Audi and Cadillac lined up as brand-new works teams alongside radically new regulations. In cricket, India celebrated a third T20 World Cup title. World politics, meanwhile, allowed no pause for breath: in Iran, Mojtaba Khamenei was chosen to succeed his killed father as Supreme Leader while US bombers struck the oil island of Kharg. In Denmark, Mette Frederiksen lost her majority, Italy rejected a sweeping justice reform by referendum, and Kazakhstan adopted a new constitution with 90 percent approval. And in Silicon Valley, OpenAI pulled the plug: the once-celebrated video model Sora was discontinued. Fifteen questions walk you through a month in which cinema halls and crisis rooms shared the headlines and in which the world quietly kept reordering itself.
