Diddy engages into fight with 'Power' actor Michael J. Ferguson. Here's why

Diddy was dressed as Heath Ledger's Joker for this Halloween. However, he got into an intense argument with actor Michael J. Ferguson.

American rapper Diddy attired as the late Heath Ledger's Joker from "The Dark Knight" for Halloween. He wore an outfit that bore an uncanny resemblance to the supervillain while focusing on the finest details. Tyler, The Creator, was amused by Diddy's phony crackjacking in the middle of the street.

On the other hand, Diddy's Halloween meeting with actor Michael J. Ferguson left watchers wondering how Diddy began as the Joker. A video of their intense fight began circulating on social media on Sunday evening.

What happened in the video?

At the beginning of the video, Diddy confronts the actor with his back to the camera. Diddy starts laughing excessively in a Joker-like manner, causing observers to believe the rapper is acting. The tone soon changes as it becomes evident that Diddy is significantly sterner than he was with the Odd Future boss.

Film-maker Bong Joon-ho's class satire 'Parasite' created history at the Oscars, becoming the first non-English language film to win the Best Picture award in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards.

The masterfully devious South Korean dark-comedy took Hollywood's top prize, along with awards for Best Director, Best International Film and Best Screenplay.

Multiple standing ovations greeted Bong's several wins.

In a year dominated by period epics - '1917', 'Once Upon a Time ... In Hollywood', 'The Irishman' - the film academy instead went overseas, to South Korea, to reward a contemporary and unsettling portrait of social inequality in 'Parasite'.

Writer-director Bong Joon-Ho made Oscar history, taking home 4 Oscars for his dark comic thriller, 'Parasite'.

The film became the first South Korean film to win an Academy Award in any category.

In capturing the best director Oscar, Bong beat out a cast of previous winners and film legends that included Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Sam Mendes, and he paid tribute to all of them in his acceptance speech.

"When I was in school I studied Martin Scorsese's films. Just to be honoured was a huge honor. I never thought I would win," he said.

"When people in the US were not familiar with my films Quentin always put my films on his list.''

He added he wished he could take a Texas chainsaw and cut the Oscar into five pieces so all the nominees could share it.

Joaquin Phoenix accepted the award for Best Actor for his film ‘Joker’. The actor took the opportunity to talk about a plethora of issues, ranging from gender inequality, racism to the cancel culture.

"We share the same love, the love of film. This form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life," the actor said before launching into an emotional call for Hollywood to "use our voice for the voiceless" and "fight against injustice."

He ended his speech with a tearful tribute to his brother River, who died of an overdose in 1993 at age 23.

"Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow," Phoenix said, quoting his brother, as he had an emotional moment on stage.

Hollywood actor Brad Pitt won his first-ever Oscar for acting and used his A-level humour to make the audience laugh. The 56-year-old actor picked up an Academy Award in the Best Supporting Actor category on Sunday for his role in 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'.

The actor started off by taking a jibe at the impeachment hearings. He said, ‘’They told me I have 45 seconds to speak, which is 45 seconds more than the Senate gave John Bolton this week.''.

''I'm thinking maybe Quentin does a movie about it,’’ he added.

Pitt said the honor had given him reason to reflect on his fairy-tale journey in the film industry, going back to when he moved to Los Angeles from Missouri. ‘’Once upon a time in Hollywood,’’ said Pitt. ‘’Ain't that the truth.''

Trophies apart, it was also a night of remembrance at the Academy Awards. The Oscars paid tribute to Kobe Bryant and Kirk Douglas, two Academy Award winners who died recently.


It was Oscar-winning director Steven Spielberg who anchored this year's In Memoriam tribute. In his speech, the 'Saving Private Ryan' director remembered the departed: "Legends and icons. Our friends and fellow artists, all who have inspired and touched us."


The remembrance segment began with a picture and quote from Bryant: "Life is too short to get bogged down and be discouraged. You have to keep moving. You have to keep going."

Douglas, also a three-time Oscar nominee, received the lifetime achievement Oscar in 1996. Bryant bagged an Oscar in 2018 when his short film 'Dear Basketball' won the best animated short film.

Diversity, again, became a talking point at the Oscars. Natalie Portman had a strong message to drive home, and she chose a unique approach. Making a political point, she wore a cape, a designer one from Dior, that carried the last names of eight women directors. All these women were the brains behind some powerful and critically-acclaimed films in 2019 - but none of them were nominated. The Oscars, this time, incidentally, had no woman nominated in the Best Director category.
