Hooray, it’s the weekend once more!
After a long week of politics and budget updates, it’s time to take a look back on the week’s biggest moments, starting with Kim Jong-un’s bizarre Tom Cruise impersonation and that shocking Oscar moment. This week we have it all.
Plus, don’t miss the heartwarming moment from late cricket legend Shane Warne’s memorial service.
Kim goes full Maverick
No, this isn’t the new Top Gun: Maverick trailer.
However, it appears North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un was inspired by the ’80s classic when recording this bizarre propaganda video.
It seems his love for film is as big as his love for missile tests.

Shock Oscars slap
Just when we thought Oscars controversies couldn’t come any bigger than the infamous La La Land/Moonlight flub, this happened.
Will Smith astonished millions of Oscars viewers when he took to the stage to slap presenter Chris Rock after the comedian made a joke at the expense of his wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith.
The Academy said Smith was asked to leave the venue following the incident – a request which he reportedly rejected.
Smith’s Best Actor victory may be short-lived. He is now facing ‘disciplinary proceedings’ over the events, which may result in him being stripped of his award.

Survival of the fittest
These turtles quite literally had to fight for their lives. It’s giving us flashbacks to that iconic Titanic door scene.
