The 74th annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony is almost over. And while one of the best things about the ceremony is seeing who gets to take a prestigious golden trophy home, what we love most about the Emmys is seeing celebrities walking the red carpet while serving some serious (as the kids say) ~lewks~.

And so, here’s our pick of the best dressed men at this year’s Emmy Awards…

Andrew Garfield

Andrew Garfield earned his first Emmy nomination ever earlier this year for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited Series. The actor was nominated for his performance in Under the Banner of Heaven but has now sadly missed out on the win; Michael Keaton won for his role as Dr Samuel Finnix in Dopesick. But we’re sure Garfield isn’t too disappointed as he looked seriously dapper in a creamy white tux that he paired with round, dark-tinted sunglasses.

John Legend

The award-winning singer/songwriter John Legend performed his new song Pieces during the Emmy Awards ceremony tonight (or today for our Aussie readers). But before he took to the stage, Legend walked the red carpet – looking seriously suave – in a subtly patterned white tux paired with black dress shoes and an oversized black bow tie.

Jordan Temple

Jordan Temple, who produced Abbott Elementary, is up for an Emmy in the Oustanding Comedy Series category at this year’s ceremony (at the time of writing, the winner of this award hasn’t yet been announced). And the producer looked extremely cool sporting a dark emerald velvet tux, a high collared shirt, dark sunglasses and two watches.

Lee Jung-jae

The star of the hit Korean series Squid Game made history tonight as he won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series – he’s the first Korean actor to win this category at the Emmys. Jung-jae wore a classic outfit but added subtle touches of flair that elevated the overall look; for instance, his navy tux was embellished with silver studs and his black tie was made of leather.

Bob Odenkirk

Bob Odenkirk was also up for an Emmy award in the Oustanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series category for his role in Better Call Saul but obviously missed out to Jung-jae. But the actor looked good by keeping things simple with a navy tux and black dress shirt. Although, we’re not too sure about the ‘dad style’ sunglasses Odenkirk is also rocking…

Anthony Carrigan

We must stress that this is a compliment: Anthony Carrigan looks like a Bond villain. An extremely stylish Bond villain, of course. The Barry actor, who was nominated in the Oustanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series category (but sadly lost to Brett Goldstein for his role in Ted Lasso), wore a patterned black suit jacket with black trousers, boots and a black turtleneck.

Zendaya might have just won another Emmy, but she’s already winning as far as we’re concerned.

The 26-year-old actress and singer, who just won Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards for her role as Rue in Euphoria, isn’t just one of the most talented young stars in Hollywood right now, but she also has amazing taste in watches.

She’s previously been spotted wearing Bulgari, Cartier and Patek Philippe watches (a brand her boyfriend Tom Holland is a particularly big fan of as well) but her latest horological haul – a recent birthday present to herself, we wager – might just be her best yet.

Zendaya was spotted having a cheeky day out in New York City wearing a monochromatic outfit with a matching, brand-new Rolex Cosmograph Daytona ‘Panda’ (ref. 116500LN-0001). Pure class, but would we expect anything else from her?

The Rolex Daytona is, simply put, one of the most iconic and desirable watches of all time. The sole chronograph produced by the Swiss brand is inarguably its most sought-after model and waiting lists for stainless steel examples like this one are as much as 5 years long.

This one’s called the ‘Panda’ thanks to its white and black look: models with a black dial and white subdials are called ‘Reverse Pandas’. Featuring a ceramic bezel, Chromalight lume and an Oyster bracelet, it’s a versatile and stylish classic.

Zendaya’s 2022 Emmy win is her second, her other also being for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series and also for Euphoria, funnily enough. Now she just needs a Grammy, Oscar and Tony…

Last week I flew Fiji Airways’ business class for the first time. It opened my eyes to a whole new way of travelling to Fiji.

Route: Sydney to Nadi

Aircraft: FJ 914 (Boeing 737MAX8)

Class: Business

Duration: 3h 55 minutes

Configuration: 2-2

Note: DMARGE travelled as a guest of Fiji Airways.

WATCH: Inside Fiji Airways’ Business Class

Checking-In

After waking up at 3am, getting an Uber at 3:15am, and arriving at the airport at 3:30am, I checked in my bags at around 3:45am. From here it was over to the Departures Gate, which didn’t open until 4am. Here I skipped the long queue and walked straight through via the fast tracked lane for business and first class passengers.

Fiji Airways International Baggage Allowance

In business class, you’re allowed two carry on bags with a maximum weight of up to 7 kg (15 lbs) and one small personal item such as a laptop or purse. As for checked baggage, in business class you get up to 40kg.

The Airport

There’s not much to do at 4:15am at Sydney International Airport. There is no Fiji Aiways lounge in Sydney, and I wasn’t sure if they had an agreement with any of the other airlines’ lounges, and was too lazy to figure it out, so I went to the boarding gate straight away and listened to the radio stream of Barcelona vs. Viktoria Plzen. I also bought a book, which I didn’t read a word of during the entire trip (not even when I got to Fiji).

Boarding

Boarding early takes the stress out of waiting at the boarding gate quite nicely. It also means that everyone who is travelling economy has to walk past you, in your nice spacious seat, drinking your 6am champers. I have it on good authority some frequent business class passengers get off on this. I felt a bit self conscious though, knowing how jealous I get of business class passengers when I am flying economy.

Demographic

I was in seat 2A. My partner was in 2B. Another couple were in the two seats opposite us, the two seats in front of them were empty, and in front of us there was just one guy on his own (in seat 1A).

The Footwear Expectations

I feel like if you’re wearing enclosed shoes, it’s a bit rude to take them off. But if you are wearing thongs or sandals, who’s counting?

The Seat

Compared to the likes of Qatar Airways’ QSuite, Qantas’ refurbished A350 business class, Emirates’ A380 business class or any other top tier long haul busines class, I would say Fiji Airways’ Boeing 737MAX8 business class is more like a very nice, spacious version of Premium Economy. That’s not to say there’s anything wrong with it. It’s just what you need for a short haul flight. But it doen’t have the privacy of a suite, and it doesn’t recline to be fully flat. That being said, I was able to get a good few hours’ sleep thanks to the ample legroom, the cradle for your feet and the generous recline of the seat. It should also be noted that Fiji Airways has a fully flat product on its A350s and an angled flat product on its refurbished A330s.

The Food

I presume it’s good, but after giving the flight attendants all my various culinary preferences at the beginning of the flight, I fell asleep and didn’t wake up until the end of the flight (on the way to Fiji). On the way home, though the Wahoo fish and Tiramisu (seen above) went down a treat.

In-Flight Entertainment

I didn’t use it on the way there (was too busy sleeping), but on the way home I made the most of the noise cancelling headphones to watch The Northman (with a beer and salted nuts).

Wifi

I believe there was some, but I made no attempt to use it. What kind of psycho wants to be connected to reality on a plane?

The Staff

Incredibly friendly.

The Toilets

Not huge, but then again – I wouldn’t expect them to be for this distance flight. They were very clean and well-maintained throughout the flight, too.

The Drinks

Unpretentious. Plenty of choice.

Final Thoughts

If you’re looking for a fancy way to start your trip to Fiji, flying business class on Fiji Airways is certainly not a bad place to start.

Australian actor George Lazenby, who played famous 007 spy James Bond in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, has been removed from the final show of a live James Bond music tour after he allegedly made shocking comments during the third show.

There’s no denying that one of the best things about the James Bond films – we’re talking all of them; from Sean Connery through to Daniel Craig – is the music. And so, lucky Australian Bond fans were delighted when it was announced earlier this year that a concert tour where Australia’s best symphony orchestras would perform the music of James Bond live on stage.

Not only this but it was also announced that George Lazenby, the Australian actor who played James Bond in the 1969 film, On Her Majesty’s Secret Service, would appear at each show and talk about his James Bond experience during the show.

The tour, named Concertworks Presents: The Music Of James Bond, kicked off in Sydney on September 3rd, seemingly without a hitch. But the third show of the tour – which took place in Perth just days ago – has caused quite the controversy. And Lazenby is at the centre of it.

During the show, Lazenby allegedly made homophobic, misogynist and racist comments and told inappropriate stories of past sexual conquests, leaving the audience feeling uncomfortable. In fact, a representative from Concertworks told The Guardian that the last show of the tour – which will take place in Melbourne this coming weekend – will not feature Lazenby at all after multiple complaints were made about the remarks Lazenby made during the Perth show.

Lazenby, now 83 years old, took to Twitter to apologise and wrote, “I am sorry and saddened to hear that my stories in Perth on Saturday might have offended some people. It was never my intention to make hurtful or homophobic comments and I am truly sorry if my stories that I have shared many times were taken that way.”

The actor, who was the second person to play Bond onscreen after Connery, went on to say, “I personally have friends within my close circle who are gay and I would never wish to offend anyone. Having been surrounded by strong women all my life, I have always admired and respected women and their wishes.”

Despite Lazenby’s apology, multiple people associated with the Concertworks Presents: The Music Of James Bond tour have still condemned the actor. For instance, Concertworks is issuing refunds to all who attended the Perth show and West Australian Symphony Orchestra (WASO) said in a statement, “His comments were his own and do not reflect our society today. His views are not shared or endorsed by WASO or Perth Concert Hall.”

If anything the whole incident proves our ‘hot take’ right – Austin Powers is better than James Bond… Groovy baby.

Looking for a new quality show to binge? Allow us to put The Patient, which stars Steve Carell, on your radar…

The first three episodes of The Patient – a new miniseries created by Joel Fields and Joseph Weisberg, who both worked on Emmy award-winning series, The Americans – are now available on Disney+ Australia and Hulu. And they’re well worth watching.

The Patient will have a total of ten episodes, which are getting released weekly, and the series follows Dr Alan Strauss, a psychotherapist who awakes to find he’s been kidnapped and imprisoned in one of his patient’s homes. The patient in question is a serial killer named Sam Fortner, who believes the only one who can help him “get better” is Strauss, hence the kidnapping and imprisonment.

Each episode is only twenty minutes and they all show rather than tell; a rare storytelling device used in television these days, which is one of the many reasons The Patient is rather refreshing and engaging.

Another is that while the show’s main premise has arguably been done to death – an exploration of the psychology behind a serial killer’s motives – The Patient doesn’t actually examine Fortner nearly as much as it analyses Strauss’ character, motivations and past trauma.

WATCH: The trailer for ‘The Patient’…

Undoubtedly, the best thing about The Patient is Steve Carell’s performance as Strauss. Of course, Carell built a successful career with mostly comedic roles – for instance, his role as Michael Scott in The Office made him a household name – but The Patient proves Carell can act extremely well in dramatic roles too… In fact, The Patient to Carell is like what Ozark is to Jason Bateman; a series that completely destroys an actor’s previous ‘typecast’.

Domhnall Gleeson also turns in a fantastic performance as Fortner. He is the perfect balance of creepy and likeable; when casually speaking about serious matters like his obsession with killing, Fortner is horrifying but when he passionately talks about food, you can’t help but think this guy is, yes a little odd, but ultimately endearing.

The one thing about The Patient that may annoy some viewers is that you need to be patient (pun intended). The series’ first three episodes have a very slow burn feel to them but they’re clearly building the suspense to something big and honestly, at least to us, the drawn-out pacing satisfyingly adds to the tension clearly felt by Strauss.

If you’re looking for a new series to watch, add The Patient to your watch list immediately. Especially if you’re a fan of thrillers with small doses of black comedy; you’ll love The Patient.

IWC Schaffhausen is best known for its pilot’s watches, but there’s much more to the brand than that. Indeed, one of their best watches is a dive watch – and it’s a watch that’s just become a lot better. Meet the 2022 Aquatimer.

First introduced in 1967, the Aquatimer capitalised on the diving craze that had swept the world in the 60s and stood out as one of the most capable watches in its class. Water-resistant to 200m and featuring a ‘compressor’ bezel situated under the glass, it was one of the Swiss watchmaker’s most popular models for years.

These days, the Aquatimer is a bit overlooked. Maybe it’s because IWC’s pilot’s watches are so popular, maybe because there’s so much competition in the dive watch space… It’s hard to say. But the modern Aquatimer remains one of the most handsome and capable luxury dive watches on the market, it just needs a little bit more love.

Strangely enough, IWC just introduced a major update for the Aquatimer – but they’ve made barely any effort to advertise that they’ve done so. Again, it’s easy to speculate why: perhaps they want the focus to be on their TOP GUN watches in 2022 and they don’t want to muddy the waters.

Whatever the case may be, we love the Aquatimer, and we especially love this update IWC’s brought to the table.

If you put the 2021 and 2022 Aquatimer next to each other, you’d probably be hard-pressed to spot the difference. The case dimensions haven’t changed at all, for instance. The dial is slightly different with a more pronounced minute track and the minute markers on the bezel are slightly thinner, and that’s about it.

That’s because the biggest change is what’s under the hood. The Aquatimer is now powered by the semi-in-house ValFleurier calibre 32111, which boasts a 120-hour (5-day) power reserve – a mammoth upgrade over the previous, ETA/Sellita-sourced calibre 30120’s 42-hour power reserve.

Hefty power reserves have long been a common feature of IWC’s pilot’s watches, so it’s nice to see such a practical update to the already highly practical Aquatimer.

The 2022 model retains the 300m water-resistance rating of the previous model, as well as central hacking seconds and a date window.

The other major addition the 2022 Aquatimer brings to the table is the addition of a blue variant, which features an eye-catching sunray dial. Previously, the only way you could get a blue Aquatimer was to opt for the Aquatimer Chronograph (ref. IW376806), a more expensive watch that arguably lacks the purity of the standard Aquatimer’s design.

The blue model is available on a matching blue ‘tropical’ rubber strap, while the black model is available on either a black tropical strap or a steel bracelet. Both the rubber and steel strap options feature IWC’s nifty quick-change system, so it’s easy to swap from one to the other.

All in all, the 2022 Aquatimer is better than it’s ever been. It’s hard to overstate how much of an upgrade the 5-day power reserve is – that’s well beyond ‘weekend proof’. Hopefully, this upgrade will shine a much-needed spotlight on this hardy dive watch, and get people thinking of IWC as more than just a pilot’s watch brand.

After New South Wales was home to a tragic car accident that killed five teenagers last week, road safety experts are proposing to the State Government that males shouldn’t legally be allowed to drive until they’re at least twenty-one years old.

Australians will all know the pure thrill of getting a P1 license (aka red P-plates) at seventeen years old and finally having a little freedom. Roadtrips with mates, saying ‘see ya’ to the school bus and going for random drives just because you can.

Although, young Aussie males living in New South Wales may soon miss out on this experience if a “controversial” proposal that’s been made to the State Government is approved. As reported by The Guardian, the proposal – which was made by ‘road safety experts’ – suggests that men should not be allowed to drive until they’re at least twenty-one years old.

This suggestion comes in the wake of the car accident that took place in Sydney’s South West just last week and tragically killed five teenagers aged between fourteen to sixteen years old. The driver – and sole survivor of the accident – is an eighteen-year-old male.

Sadly, this accident isn’t the first of its kind. For instance, according to Transport for NSW, so far this year, there have been 155 male road fatalities – compared to only 48 female road fatalities.

Plus, Emeritus Professor Ann Williamson, the Australasian College of Road Safety’s president, said that almost twenty-five per cent of all car crashes in NSW were caused by drivers aged under twenty-five – shocking considering that they only represent fifteen per cent of all NSW drivers.

“The first six months of licensing, in particular, people are very vulnerable to crashes. It’s not that the road authorities and the policy decision-makers aren’t aware and there are a number of restrictions on inexperienced and novice young drivers… but it’s not enough. It clearly isn’t enough.”

Ann Williamson

Williamson went on to say that obviously, not all young drivers should be prohibited from driving but men, who are more likely to take risks on the road, should “perhaps” be made to wait until they’re a little older before getting behind the wheel.

“Undoubtedly, some young novice drivers will be better than others. If we can identify those who perhaps are likely to be inherently more risky and limit their licensing, make that a little bit later.”

“Young males, perhaps they should be twenty-one or twenty-two before they get their licence. This is very controversial stuff but these are all things to think about.”

Ann Williamson

At this stage, it’s unclear when the NSW Government will review the proposal and either approve or reject it.

Looking for some stylish golf shorts to hit the golf green? Look no further.

What you wear on the green matters, which is why a pair of golf shorts is essential to keep you cool in warmer weather, but also to keep things functional. Style plus function is the formula for golf shorts and this guide will help you to choose which fit is right for you. 

Features of the best golf shorts

Golf shorts aren’t just a pair of regular chino shorts with the word gold placed in front of them, oh no. They are specially designed to accommodate all the movements you’ll make on the golf course by offering plenty of stretch and weight next to nothing.

Some pairs of golf shorts will even offer extra benefits such as anti-odour technology or moisture-wicking to help keep you extra cool when you’re hoping to make that birdie putt.

The brands featured on this list of must-own golf shorts all approach design in the same way they approach their clubs and balls, namely, with innovation and the latest technologies to support performance. Sportswear brands like Adidas and Nike aim to make things as comfortable as possible, but put their own spin on it, keeping you on-trend. While luxury brands such as Calvin Klein bring the premium style and quality that the game of golf has long been associated with.

From the Australian Outback to the Californian desert, we’ve all heard about aircraft ‘boneyards.’ But where do cruise ships go to die?

In Izmir, Turkey, in a town called Aliaga, there is a ship processing centre where old cargo ships and container ships get stripped for parts, broken down and recycled. In 2020 this processing port made waves around the world when images arose of the place being used as a graveyard for cruise ships.

So: what goes on in a cruise ship graveyard? How do they recycle these giant floating beasts? In the Aliaga shipyard, they use a landing method. The way this works, according to the NGO Shipbreaking Platform, is that “the bow of the vessel is grounded on the shore while the stern is still afloat.” Then: “the blocks are… lifted by cranes onto a drained and impermeable working area.”

“The yards do not resort to the gravity method, that is, dropping blocks into the water or onto the beach.”

NGO Shipbreaking Platform

Steel and metal scraps are then smelted down for construction material or sold to car manufacturers. Depending on the size of each ship, each vessel typically needs a couple of thousand workers to recycle, and the process for each ship can take up to a year.

The Sun reports that the expensive navigation equipment is the first to go, along with all the furniture including beds, floors and even pianos. Emre Aras, a manager at the Aliaga yard, told The Sun cruise ships are the most difficult type of ship to dismantle “because there are hundreds of rooms on board.”

Adding to the task is that all floors, walls, handrails and windows need to be taken out. This requires plenty of saws and blowtorches.

“Massive sections of the hull are moved over head with massive cranes capable of lifting objects of 2000 tons in one go,” The Sun reports.

There are other ship graveyards in the world though, and not all of them have the same environmental and health and safety standards as Aliaga. In fact, 70-80% of the world’s de-commissioned ships are sent into India, Bangladesh and Pakistan to be stripped for parts. Turkey, where Aliaga is located, and China cover most of the remaining market.

It’s also quite rare for a cruise ship to end up in one of these places. It’s usually just cargo and container ships, because, up until COVID-19, it was quite unusual for a cruise ship line to scrap a vessel. Instead, what they would usually do is sell their old cruise ships to a smaller operater, where it would be refurbished and rebranded. However, without this option (during the pandemic), various cruise ship lines (like Carnival Cruises) started choosing to scrap some of their dormant ships.

According to Cheddar, Carnival Cruise Line, as of Jan 2021, had sold 19 cruise ships, which was 12% of its total pre-pandemic fleet. In February 2021, Cheddar adds, 6 of these ships were confirmed to have been sold to scrappers. Kamil Onal, chairman of a ship recycling industrialists’ association, told Reuters in 2020 that “after the pandemic, cruise ships changed course towards Aliaga in a very significant way.”

“There was growth in the sector due to the crisis. When the ships couldn’t find work, they turned to dismantling.”

Kamil Onal

Not all ship graveyards are the same, however. As reported in a 2014 National Geographic investigation, in Bangladesh a different process is used when shipwrecking. There, the ships are brought up onto mud flats at high tide, then cut up with soldering equipment and dragged to land at low tide. This is very dangerous work, and environmentally unfriendly.

As Muhammed Ali Shahin, a program officer at the NGO Shipbreaking Platform told National Geographic, “In Bangladesh they break 150-200 ships per year.” The documentary also claimed that in 2012, 15 shipwrecking workers died. The work is dangerous due to the hazardous (and sometimes explosive) chemicals that are released during the process, and because of the lack of safety equipment.

According to a report in Haika Magazine, “A murky world of shell companies, flags of convenience, and end-of-life flags allows companies to dodge accountability and dispose of ships cheaply.”

Although the Turkish method is safer (and more expensive) than the one used in Bangladesh, it’s not perfect. In fact, the NGO Shipbreaking Platform recommends Turkey’s landing method gets phased out.

As per the NGO Shipbreaking Platform: “The Turkish ship recycling yards apply the so-called landing method.”

“The negative environmental impact of the landing method is no doubt higher than recycling in a fully contained area. The Platform is of the opinion that the landing method used in Aliağa should be progressively phased out, in favor of the use of fully contained areas for scrapping, since Turkish facilities have scope for improvement.”

NGO Shipbreaking Platform

Though it clearly needs to be improved upon for both the Shipwrecking workers and the environment, shipbreaking, a report by the European Commission, states, is an important service, which enables the re-use of valuable materials.

“It enables the financial viability of the shipping sector, is a major supplier of steel and is a critical part of the economy in many developing countries.”

European Commission

Ship wrecking isn’t the only fate to befall out of commission, or dormant cruise ships. They have also been transformed into floating hotels, for instance, and they still, as the industry gets back to normal post-pandemic, will likely, in many cases, to be sold on to smaller operators, providing demand and travel laws get back to normal.
