History was made and celebrated during the 2023 Grammy Awards held live from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, with host Trevor Noah on February 5, 2023 and aired on CBS.

Beyoncé now holds the record for most Grammy Awards received by one artist. In this year’s Grammy Awards, Beyoncé broke the record for most lifetime Grammy wins now with 32. This year with her wins for dance/electronic music recording, traditional R&B performance, best R&B song and dance/electronic music album, Beyonce surpassed the late classical conductor Georg Solti, who won 31 Grammys.

Viola Davis now joins the elite group of EGOT winners with her victory at the Grammy awards. Known as US entertainment’s grand slam, the acronym EGOT signifies a recipient of an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony award. Davis won her first Grammy this year for her audiobook recording of her memoir, Finding Me.

Oscar Trivia 2019

My favorite mess of the year!

Highly acclaimed film Bohemian Rhapsody (62% on Rotten Tomatoes, 49% on Metacritic) is the first film to be nominated for Best Picture with a Metascore under 50 since Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close (2011).

The obvious one: Black Panther is the first superhero movie and the first movie based on a comic book to be nominated for Best Picture. Even still, The Dark Knight is the most nominated superhero movie in Oscar history, with eight to Panther’s seven.

Best Popular Oscar whom? Three of this year’s Best Picture nominees are currently in the top twenty highest grossing films of 2018: Black Panther, A Star is Born, and Bohemian Rhapsody. All have grossed over $200 million.

This is the first time since 1976 that more than one director is nominated in Best Director for a foreign-language film*. Last time, it was Ingmar Bergman (Face to Face) and Lina Wertmüller (Seven Beauties). This time, it’s Alfonso Cuarón (Roma) and Pawel Pawlikowski (Cold War). If either of them win, it will be the first time ever that a non-English language film wins Best Director. (*A note: it is possible to include 2006 in this distinction, as both Alejandro González Iñárritu [Babel] and Clint Eastwood [Letters from Iwo Jima] were nominated in Director, and both films featured significant stretches in languages that are not English. However, they both also feature significant portions in English; Roma and Cold War do not.)

Spike Lee and Barry Jenkins have become the first African-American artists to be nominated for writing more than once.

Netflix had a major breakthrough year with the multiple nominations for Roma and The Ballad of Buster Scruggs. It goes without saying, but Roma is Netflix’s first Best Picture nomination.

Willem Dafoe (At Eternity’s Gate) and Olivia Colman (The Favourite) have become the third pair of actors to win the Volpi Cup at the Venice Film Festival and to go on to receive Oscar nominations. The other two were Fredric March (Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde) and Helen Hayes (The Sin of Madelon Claudet), both of whom won in 1932, and Sam Jaffe (The Asphalt Jungle) and Eleanor Parker (Caged) in 1950.

This is the third time that costume designer Sandy Powell (The Favourite and Mary Poppins Returns) has been double-nominated in a single year. The other two times: 1998 (Shakespeare in Love, which won, and Velvet Goldmine) and 2015 (Carol and Cinderella).

Streisand weeps: Lady Gaga is now the second person in history to be nominated for acting and songwriting in the same year, both for A Star is Born. Last year, Mary J. Blige became the first person to receive this distinction.

Hannah Beachler (Black Panther) has become the first black person nominated for Production Design.

Producer Dede Gardner (Vice) received her sixth Best Picture nomination this morning, tying Eric Fellner and Stanley Kramer as the fourth most nominated producer in Oscar history. She is the second most nominated woman, after Kathleen Kennedy with eight Best Picture nominations (though unlike Kennedy, Gardner has won before).

Roma has now tied with Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) as the most nominated foreign language movie in Oscar history -- they both received ten nominations. Crouching Tiger came awfully close to winning Best Picture only to falter at the last minute to a crowdpleaser (Gladiator); will history repeat itself this year?

Roma producer Gabriela Rodríguez is the first Latina nominated in Best Picture.

Peter Ramsey (Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse) is the first black person nominated in Animated Feature.

“Shallow” (A Star is Born) and “All the Stars” (Black Panther) are the first songs since “Lose Yourself” (2002) to receive nominations from the Academy for Best Song and the Grammys for Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

With his surprise nomination for At Eternity’s Gate, Willem Dafoe is the second person to be nominated for playing Vincent Van Gogh, following in the footsteps of Kirk Douglas in 1956′s Lust for Life.

Mirai is the first Animated Feature nominee from Japan to not be produced by Studio Ghibli.

While 2018′s A Star is Born is the fourth remake of that particular story, it is only the second one to get a Best Picture nomination (the other was the very first, from 1937). Cooper’s Star also received the same number of nominations as Wellman’s 1937 film with a total of eight. The 1954 film received six, winning none, and the 1976 film received four, and won for Best Song (a good omen for Gaga?). Bad news for Bradley Cooper, Lady Gaga, and Sam Elliott, though: between the 26 total nominations for all four Star is Born films, they have only won three, and none have ever been for its actors.

Yalitza Aparicio (Roma) is the second Mexican actress to receive a Best Actress nomination; the first was Salma Hayek (Frida, 2002). Aparicio is also the first ever indigenous actor to receive an acting nomination.

Marina de Tavira is now the first person nominated for Supporting Actress for an entirely foreign language film since Valentina Cortese in Day for Night (1974). She is only the second one ever.

Her power! Each time Emma Stone has been nominated for an Oscar, her film has led the nomination count: Birdman (9), La La Land (14), and now The Favourite (10).

Amy Adams received her sixth nomination for playing Lynne Cheney in Vice. With this nomination, she is now tied with Cate Blanchett as the second-most nominated actress of the 21st century so far. She is the second-most nominated living actress that has never won (trailing only behind Best Actress frontrunner Glenn Close, who received her seventh nomination today). If she loses this year (and if Close wins), she will join Thelma Ritter and Deborah Kerr as most nominated actresses in history without a win. Meanwhile, if Glenn Close (The Wife) loses Best Actress, she will be the most nominated actress in history without a win.

Christian Bale is the second actor to be nominated for playing a Vice President. The only other is James Whitmore, who was nominated for playing Harry S. Truman in Give ‘Em Hell, Harry! (1975).

Similarly, Vice’s George W. Bush, Sam Rockwell, is the latest to be nominated for playing a U.S. President. He joins Whitmore’s Truman, Raymond Massey’s Lincoln (Abe Lincoln in Illinois, 1940), Anthony Hopkins’ John Quincy Adams (Amistad, 1997) and Nixon (Nixon, 1995), Alexander Knox’s Woodrow Wilson (Wilson, 1944), Frank Langella’s Nixon (Frost/Nixon, 2008), and Daniel Day-Lewis’s Lincoln (2012). Rockwell’s Bush and Hopkins’ Adams are the only presidents nominated in supporting.

Amy Adams and Christian Bale have co-starred together three times and were both nominated for all three: Vice (2018), American Hustle (2013), and The Fighter (2010).

Three of the nominated directors -- Cuarón, Pawlikowski, and Lanthimos -- directed previous nominees for Foreign Language Film: Cuarón’s Y Tu Mamá También (2002), Pawlikowski’s winner Ida (2014), and Lanthimos’s Dogtooth (2009).

All eight of the Best Picture nominees come from different distributors: Black Panther from Disney, BlacKkKlansman from Focus Features, Bohemian Rhapsody from 20th Century Fox, The Favourite from Fox Searchlight, Green Book from Universal, Roma from Netflix, A Star is Born from Warner Bros., and Vice from Annapurna.

Don’t quote me on this yet, but I think Kendrick Lamar (songwriter for “All the Stars” from Black Panther) has become the second person to receive a Pulitzer Prize and an Oscar nomination in the same year (Lamar won the Pulitzer Prize for Music for his album DAMN.). The only other, that I can tell, is Lin-Manuel Miranda in 2016, who was nominated for “How Far I’ll Go” from Moana and won the Pulitzer for the musical Hamilton.

Pre-curse-ors: Bradley Cooper is the thirteenth director in the last twenty years to be snubbed by the Academy after winning the National Board of Review Award for Best Director.

Mary Poppins Returns marks the first time a Rob Marshall-directed movie musical failed to receive an acting nomination. Sorry, Emily.

The Favourite is now the most nominated Irish film of all-time.

While Green Book marks Viggo Mortensen’s third nomination, it’s the first time he’s not his film’s sole nomination: both Eastern Promises (2007) and Captain Fantastic (2016) were totally shut down outside of his performance. Coincidentally, it’s also the first time Mortensen is nominated for a performance in which he does not have to show his penis.

With its single nomination for Solo: A Star Wars Story, the Star Wars stat holds true: every single Star Wars film has gotten at least one nomination.

If you count the semi-biographical characters from Roma played by Yalitza Aparicio and Marina de Tavira, a staggering fifteen of the twenty roles nominated are based on real people.

Roma is the first foreign language Best Picture nominee since Amour in 2012. If it wins, it will be the first foreign language film to do so. It will also be Mexico’s first victory in the Foreign Language Film category.

Rami Malek is the second actor with Egyptian heritage to be nominated at the Oscars. The first was Omar Sharif in 1962 for Lawrence of Arabia.

Richard E. Grant is the fifth actor born in Africa to be nominated for an Oscar, following Basil Rathbone, Omar Sharif, Djimon Hounsou, and Barkhad Abdi. Grant is Swazi-British.

This is the third year in a row to have at least one Best Picture nominee centered on an LGBTQ+ character: 2016 had Moonlight, 2017 had Call Me by Your Name, and 2018 has Bohemian Rhapsody and The Favourite.

10 Rising LDS Artists and Their Depictions of Christ

Greg Olsen, Walter Rane, and Del Parson are some of the favorite artists among members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their images have been featured in our lessons and hung on the walls of our homes for years. These artists and their work have touched our hearts and lightened our minds.

Now, there are new rising artists who have brought more light and joy to our lives through their skills and talents, just as beautifully created as those that came before them.

So let’s check them out and see their unique pieces and depictions of Christ!

1. Annie Henrie

Working primarily in mixed media of oils, acrylics, charcoal pencil, and gesso texturing, Henrie has risen quickly as a favorite new artist with her work featured in Deseret Book stores, Bronze Coast Gallery in Cannon Beach, Oregon, and Authentique Gallery in St. George, Utah.

She recently published her first book entitled Visions of Hope: An Illustrated Portrayal of God’s Plan for Us. The untitled work below features Christ tenderly rendered through beautifully long and soft brush strokes.

2. Sandra Rast

Rast has also quickly grown in her fame. Her painting “In the Garden” is featured on the cover of the book called “My Dear Sisters,” published by Deseret Book and several other of her pioneer paintings are featured on the Joseph Smith Papers.

This painting, titled “Hills of Bethlehem” depicts the Savior caring for His flock. Although He isn’t super defined, the lack of sharpness in the work makes it almost seem as if it were an old memory.

3. Scott Sumner

As a professional photographer for the past fourteen years, Sumner’s work can be found from Nauvoo, Illinois, to Stockholm, Sweden, and from Italy to Australia. He is a founding board member of the Inspirational Art Association (IAA), has served as President of their Board of Directors, and currently serves on their advisory board.

This photo, entitled “Lord of Hosts” is quick to draw attention to the Savior as its focal point. The light and dark contrast beautifully create symbolic meaning.

4. Crystal Close

Painting in Sacramento, California, Close’s works are represented in both public and private collections including The Museum of Church History and Art, Southern Virginia University and Vision Services Plan in Sacramento.

This painting, entitled “Woman at the Well,” is a new depiction of this well-loved story. As the woman bears the red robe, often seen in paintings of Christ, we see deeper into the story and what Christ truly sacrificed in taking upon Himself our sorrows, pains, and sins.

5. Erin Meads

Only beginning her art career in her second year of college, Meads has gone on to teach drawing and painting at several locations including Brigham Young University and the Bountiful/Davis Art Center in Bountiful, UT. Her sketches have a raw beauty.

This sketch, titled “The Prince of Peace” features a calm Christ who might be found walking through the streets of Jerusalem or pondering on the things of eternity.

6. Kathleen Peterson

Peterson’s Mormon pioneer heritage combined with her life-long international travels have influenced and inspired her unique and narrative style. In addition to painting, she welcomes any opportunity to create beauty with her hands and loves making batiks, stained-glass murals, intaglio prints and building clay figures.

This work, titled “Sand Script” depicts the story of the woman taken in adultery and has a unique set up that presents one of the more modern stylized images of Christ.

7. Jorge Cocco Santangelo

Born in Concepción del Uruguay in Entre Ríos, Argentina, Santangelo has been an artist since the age of 9. He has won numerous awards and is featured in many museums across the world.

This particular work, titled “El Llamado,” features a similar style to Pablo Picasso’s called Cubism and shows Santangelo’s talent in bringing to life the story of Christ’s original call to the apostles.

8. Caitlin Connolly

After graduating from BYU in 2009 with a BFA in Painting and Drawing, Connolly has been passionately pursuing a career in art. Her artwork is featured in the Conference Center on Temple Square and can be found at Deseret Book.

In Connolly’s work, titled “A Believing Woman” we see the Savior tall and strong, yet still gracefully and lovingly looking upon the woman.

9. J. Kirk Richards

Focusing on contemporary spiritual art, Richards has studied under many famous Top LDS Artist. His two years spent studying in Rome have also had great influence on his coloring and style.

His painting titled “The Temptation” captivates the eye and draws us to feel the Savior’s struggle through His forty-day fast.

10. David Koch

Koch’s art can be found in LDS Temples, the Utah State Capitol, the LDS Church Art Museum Collection, and in many corporate and private collections. He seeks to constantly improve his art and he loves to fill his art with layers of symbolic meaning.

This work titled “Fishers of Men” shows the Savior after His resurrection calling out to His disciples. Although we can’t see the face of Him or Peter, we can see so much through the light, posture, and angle portrayed.

There are so many more new and rising artists out there with so many different styles. Their talents and gifts can help us to fill our homes and our lives with Christ’s influence. Through images, scriptures and other ways we can work to more fully center our lives on Him and to become like Him.

If You Can’t Blame the Confederacy, Secede! | Abbeville Institute

American political theater has become the most entertaining show in town. Trump refuses to shake hands and Pelosi rips up his script.

This is red meat for the duly indoctrinated in the mainstream political parties, but in case you thought that Trump’s impeachment and subsequent acquittal would calm the waters and draw the final curtain on a five-month Greek comedy, the woke lunatics and their Girondist media allies have decided the show must go on.

And who can we blame? Why the Confederacy, of course, the fly in the ointment of good American government. If it wasn’t for those dastardly traitors of 1861 and their political progeny, America would be a glorious City Upon a Hill.

CNN’s John Harwood seems to think something nefarious is afoot from below the Mason Dixon:

While he clearly doesn’t know basic American geography or history, he certainly knows that the Confederacy is behind whatever problems ail America. How could these modern Confederates be so blind to the necessity of John Bolton’s important testimony, the same John Bolton whom leftists consistently called an untrustworthy warmonger until he had some dirt on Trump? They held the right opinion of Bolton before the show required a plot twist making the enemy of their enemy their friend. Except every viewer knew the end of the story before it showed up on the small screen. These people telegraph their punches like a drunk itching for a bar fight.

But Harwood’s geographic determinism thinly veils his real motivation: these Republicans who voted against his wishes are racist just like their ancestor traitors to the United States. And people wonder why Southerners still cling to the War, God, and guns.

The left won’t let them forget, except if they want to pack up or demolish a few hundred statues and remove the Confederate flag from every public space in the South.

“Hey deplorable, the War is over, except when we say it isn’t over.”

Of course, we all know that an independent South would be a vastly different country than the United States. The late Bill Cawthon did a splendid job explaining how several years ago.

And some leftists get it. The failed impeachment process has brought these woke secessionists out of the closet:

I’m all for it. “Jesusland” would be a pretty nice place to live and would be freed from the burden of being constantly overruled by some Yankee self-righteous do-gooder. It does, however, makes you wonder if “kim” realized that Trump is a byproduct of the U.S. of Canada? Maybe all these loving people north of the border are just bombastic jerks after all. Nah. That would make them Yankees, and Yankees are supposed to be the good guys.

Several hundred thousands dead Southerners would tell a different story, but what do they know? They were the ones who had the backbone to let the North go in peace in 1861 if they just sent the bluecoats back over the Mason Dixon. They tried “Jesusland” but were blown to pieces by Lincoln’s cannons. If they had their way, “kim” would already be living in a separate country.

And while the founding generation worried about the prospect of secession, very few would have wanted to go to war to prevent it. Patriots don’t kill other patriots, especially those who understood that self-determination is the bedrock of the American political tradition.

So who are the real traitors to America again?

Is Davis a Traitor? Or Was Secession a Constitutional Right Previous to the War of 1861? Albert Taylor Bledsoe, author, Brion McClanahan and Mike Church, editors Published a year after the war, it provides the best argument every assembled in one book for the constitutional right of secession. Everyone interested in the overall design of the Constitution ratified by the several States in 1788 should read this book.

Patrick Henry-Onslow Debate: Liberty and Republicanism in American Political Thought Lee Cheek, Sean R. Busick, Carey Roberts, editors A public debate carried on by President John Quincy Adams and Vice President John C. Calhoun under the pen names of “Patrick Henry” and “Onslow.” This important, but little known debate, about the limits of federal power is arguably more salient now than when it occurred.

Defending Dixie: Essays in Southern History and Culture Clyde Wilson A Collection of insightful essays on how Southerners think of themselves in the light of how they are perceived by outside cultural elites.

The Enduring Relevance of Robert E. Lee: The Ideological Warfare Underpinning the American Civil War Marshall DeRosa DeRosa uses the figure of Robert E. Lee to consider the role of political leadership under extremely difficult circumstances, examining Lee as statesman rather than just a military leader and finds that many of Lee’s assertions are still relevant today. DeRosa reveals Lee’s awareness that the victory of the Union over the Confederacy placed America on the path towards the demise of government based upon the consent of the governed, the rule of law, and the Judeo-Christian American civilization.

The Founding Fathers Guide to the Constitution Brion McClanahan An article by article and clause by clause analysis of the Constitution ratified by the founding generation of 1787 and 1788, a Constitution quite different from what the political class in Washington understands.

The Morality of Everyday Life: Rediscovering An Ancient Alternative to the Liberal Tradition Thomas Fleming Fleming (editor of Chronicles, A Magazine of American Culture) explains how the morality embedded in the ideology of liberalism leads to the decadence of morality in contemporary American society.

Forgotten Conservatives in American History Clyde Wilson and Brion McClanahan A study of thinkers who exemplify conservatism in a Jeffersonian idiom rather than a Hamiltonian.

In Search of the City on a Hill: The Making and Unmaking of an American Myth Richard Gamble A history of the "city on a hill" metaphor from its Puritan beginnings to its role in American "civil religion" today.

James Madison and the Making of America Kevin Gutzman Judged by Clyde Wilson to be the "standard" on Madison for sometime.

Nullification: How to Resist Federal Tyranny in the 21st Century Thomas Woods A readable, comprehensive treatment of the constitutionality of State interposition and nullification. Should be in the hands of every State legislator.

Nullification: A Constitutional History, 1776-1833. Vol. 1: James Madison, Not the Father of the Constitution W. Kirk Wood

Nullification, A Constitutional History, 1776-1833. Vol. 2: James Madison and the Constitutionality of Nullification, 1787-1828 W. Kirk Wood In this thoroughly researched and magisterial two volume work, Wood shows how nullification was an “American” constitutional principle (essential to republicanism), and not merely a Southern sectional one. And he explains how and why republicanism has been suppressed.

Rethinking the American Union for the 21st Century Donald Livingston Essays raising the question of whether the United States has become simply too large for self-government and should be divided into a number of Unions of States as Jefferson thought it should. (The book is signed by Livingston who wrote the "Introduction" and contributed an essay).

The Broken Circle David Bridges A historical novel (as close to historical detail as a novel can be), about Major James Breathed, an officer of horse artillery for JEB Stuart. Classically educated, deeply religious, and preparing for a career in medicine when his country was invaded, he reluctantly became a fierce warrior. He was wounded several times fighting from the very beginning to the end, in 71 battles. The Sons of Confederate Veterans recently awarded him the Medal of Honor.

Superfluous Southerners, Cultural Conservatism and the South, 1920-1990 John J. Langdale, III Explores the "traditionalist" conservatism that originated with John Crowe Ransom, Donald Davidson, and Allen Tate and continued with their intellectual descendants, Cleanth Brooks, Richard Weaver, and Melvin Bradford.

A Cautious Enthusiasm: Mystical Piety and Evangelicalism in Colonial South Carolina Samuel C. Smith Smith shows how Evangelical revivalism in the colonial South Carolina low country had origins in Roman Catholic mysticism, Huguenot Calvinists and German pietism. This disposition, usually identified only with Evangelicals, touched even high Anglicans and Catholics making possible a bond of low country patriotism in the Revolutionary era.

Fiddler of Driskill Hill David Middleton A collection of this prize winning poet’s work set in his home region of rural Louisiana, a place which views the world from a conservative, southern agrarian perspective. The fiddler is a figure of the traditionalist southern-agrarian artist.

Bourbon and Kentucky: A History Distilled Explores how distilling originated in Kentucky with it’s first settlers in 1775, and takes the viewer to the sites of Central Kentucky’s earliest distilling operations. Magnificent portraits and landscapes adorn the production.

The Southern Cross: The Story of the Confederacy’s First Battle Flag Chronicles the history of the design and creation of a flag that became the prototype for the famous Confederate battle flags. The hand-stitched silk flag with gold painted stars was borne by the Fifth Company of the Washington Artillery of New Orleans through the Battles of Shiloh and Perryville. The flag was designed and made for the army after the first battle of Manassas as a military necessity and wholly without the authority or even the knowledge of the Confederate government. Mary Henry Lyon Jones of Richmond, Virginia stitched the flag together. After Generals P.G.T. Beauregard and Joseph E. Johnston approved Ms. Jones’s flag, sewing circles of more than four hundred women in Richmond sewed 120 flags made from Ms. Jones’s original design.

Jefferson Davis: An American President The first and definitive documentary film on the entire life of patriot and president, Jefferson Davis. Across three beautifully shot and edited episodes, the full spectrum of Davis’ life comes into view: from his frontier origins and service to the United States as military officer, congressman, secretary of war, and two-term senator from Mississippi; to his rise and fall as Confederate President; through his unlawful two year imprisonment after the War; and finally covering his 25 years as a man struggling to find his place in a world in which it was no longer clear what it meant to be an American.

AT&T’S Class of 2022 Black Future Makers Program Inducts John Legend, Kirk Franklin, and Meagan Good, among others in February Showcase

Edited by Naomi Richard

AT&T Dream in Black’s signature program, Black Future Makers, returns with the unveiling of its 2022 inductees and a month-long program highlighting their continued commitment to economic empowerment in the Black community. Now in its fourth (4th) year, the celebration this season recognizes future-forward Black luminaries, including powerhouse musicians John Legend and Kirk Franklin, who are shaping culture, advocating for equity, and creating pathways for the next generation of Black achievers. Throughout the month, AT&T is also shining a national spotlight on emerging artists and others to help them attain their wildest dreams.

“At AT&T, we believe that access opens the door to opportunities that help create equality for all,” says Corey Anthony, SVP, Chief Diversity and Development Officer, AT&T. “That is why we will continue to invest in programs like Black Future Makers, that honor and elevate this community to support them in reaching their full potential.”

Central to the campaign is a free, public art exhibition that opened on February 1st at the AT&T Showcase in Dallas, featuring the visionary work of muralist and Black Future Maker Artist in Residence Georgie Nakima. Also featured this month will be the work of others in the Black small business community, including LA-based visionary filmmakers Chris and Bevin Scholar, and award-winning fashion entrepreneur Damien Lloyd. Their inspirational celebrity video portraits will be on display in AT&T retail stores across the country.

Georgie Nakima

Featured in video portraits inspired by Nakima’s art are 2022 honorees such as award-winning actress and author Meagan Good, musicians Tobe Nwigwe and VINCINT along with Youtuber Terrell Grice. AT&T has and will continue to reveal inspiring static and video portraits of several Black Future Makers every week in February on AT&T’s Instagram and att.com/dreaminblack.

In keeping with AT&T’s commitment to champion the ideals of economic empowerment and access to opportunity, Nakima’s commissioned work consists of original portraits capturing the campaign’s Black Future Makers in her organic, afro-futuristic style. The solo exhibition, Georgie Nakima: “To the Constellations of Ancestors in Our Bones, Thank You,” presents recent works by the artist in mixed media. It will be on display until March 31, 2022.

“The gravity of collaborating with AT&T as a Black Future Maker has been deeply humbling and empowering,” said Nakima. “As an artist, I've committed my career to championing and uplifting voices of the diaspora with colorful and restorative imagery. I'm incredibly grateful to AT&T for using its platform to continue bringing this work to light. It is an honor and dream to host this retrospective exhibit of my life’s work while celebrating the beauty and growth of our community and generation.”

Also happening this month are virtual events such as AT&T Dream in Black’s collaboration with iHeartRadio Living Black! which provides a high energy mix of innovative performances from favorite chart-topping artists including Alicia Keys, Lizzo, J. Cole, Saweetie, H.E.R. and others. Exclusively streamed on TikTok, it is one of many unique virtual events integrated within the campaign. Visit www.attdreaminblack.com to learn more.

生酮飲食對於運動表現的影響

如同上一篇文章提到的，生酮飲食下的生理��件改變，��不支持肌肉的合成，但因為有足量的酮體、脂肪在供應能量，所以可以有效減緩傳統少吃節食法的「掉肌肉」現象(muscle sparing effect)；那既然肌肉量不會減少，是否運動表現也可以維持呢？

在網路上最常看到的論述幾乎都指出，生酮飲食者的身體會逐漸適應成「燃燒脂肪及酮體為主要能量來源」的狀態，而這種能量此用模式可以讓身體避免所謂的「撞牆期」（因為根本不會有肝醣耗竭、需要切換到有氧能量系統的轉換時間）也就是說，身體不但擁有一個穩定的能量供應來源、運動強度可以維持不墜，外加全程高效率燃燒脂肪、沒有醣類導致乳酸的生成堆積也減少，聽起來也是相當合理的推論。

但是，生酮飲食真的有這麼神嗎？其實只要仔細一看，以上論述依舊是這些生酮飲食鼓吹者的「個人經驗」，從生理學的角度來看，生酮飲食對多數運動表現是會有負面影響的（僅在極少數狀況下可以持平或進步），除了頂尖的耐力型運動選手之外，很少有運動員能夠避免生酮飲食導致的運動能力下降。

而生酮飲食會降低運動表現的原因相當簡單，從最基礎的能量系統理論就可以解釋：

1. 肌肉中肝醣濃度的降低，導致在高強度運動時因無氧能量系統供能速度不夠快、表現因而下降。

2. 此外，肌肉中肝��濃度降低通常還會伴隨著較慢的訓練後恢復速度，換句話說就是肌肉成長的速度也會下降。

也許你有發現，在上一篇關於生酮飲食與肌肉量的文章中，有介紹一篇針對八位體操運動員的研究，發現這些運動員在服用生酮飲食一個月後，體脂肪降低、而肌肉量與最大肌力皆不變，那這不就是「生酮飲食不會傷害運動表現」的最佳實證？

但請注意，這些是一個星期訓練至少三十小時的體操運動員，高訓練強度導致他們的蛋白質攝取量遠高於常人（約每公斤體重攝取 2.8 克），這樣的蛋白質攝取量是遠高於一般的生酮飲食的。而在生酮飲食下攝取較高比例的蛋白質，也已被證明可以有效保留住肌肉、所以力量不至於損失太多。

雖然在這八位頂尖運動員身上，生酮飲食不至於影響到他們的運動表現，但對訓練量、運動能力、飲食控制都不及這些運動員的一般人而言，這種狀況並不容易發生。在「高強度競技」的比賽之中，生酮飲食使用者還是會有比較明顯的劣勢。畢竟持續時間短、需要高爆發力的競技型運動，還是需要「能在最短時間內供應最多能量」的碳水化合物來支撐，燃燒酮體跟脂肪的身體，是很難跟正常飲食的身體擁有相同的能力的。

而對於耐力型的運動呢？生酮飲食似乎就較為可行，除了體脂肪的降低產生的優勢之外，在中低強度的長時間運動下，生酮飲食似乎可以幫助到運動員。

2014年的這篇研究，找來了八位至少有五年訓練經驗的單車運動員，每個人各使用生酮飲食跟一般飲食四周，採用crossover design （見下圖），並在四周後分別在各種不同強度下運動。學者發現：

1.在中等強度 (50%-70% VO2Max) 運動或者休息狀態下，生酮飲食組有著明顯較低的RER （因身體長期在酮症狀態下使用脂肪的效率會上升）、較低的乳酸濃度、較高的VO2（因為體重的下降導致VO2數據的其中一個分母變小），所以運動表現有機會更好。

2.但在高強度的運動中，生酮飲食者的最大輸出功率（絕對值）較一般飲食組顯著下降。

這個發現如果用實際例子來講的話，我們可以假設今天有一場持續五小時的單車賽，在比賽中間大家都在配速節省體力時，生酮飲食的運動員疲勞感較少；但在比賽一開始、還有最後的「衝刺」階段，會輸給正常飲食的運動員。

學者在這篇研究的Discussion中指出，長期的生酮飲食降低肌肉中儲存的肝醣量，而肝醣分解酵素的活性亦降低，很有可能是高強度運動表現下降的主因。各位聰明的讀者有沒有發現，這跟本文前半段提到的「用最基礎的能量系統理論就可以解釋生酮飲食為何會降低運動表現」是不謀而合呢？

那正常人在耐力運動時，額外補充酮體可以強化中低強度時的運動表現？如果透過外源性的補充可以幫助身體跳過飢餓/生酮飲食的步驟，而且還同時獲得「酮症」的相關好處，那會相當有趣。如果在耐力型運動中，額外攝取「酮體」的話，在中低強度時不就有另一種燃料可以燒，照理說應該會有更好的表現吧？

最近有一篇研究，將一群十六小時未進食的單車運動員分成兩組：醣類充足、並攝取額外的酮體vs只攝取醣類（攝取量會依不同運動員的體重做微調，573mg/每公斤體重），受試者會先攝取一半的量，用75% VO2 Max騎一小時後，再攝取另一半的量，之後再接著騎半小時。而這份研究也是採用Cross Over Design，在一個禮拜後，受試者會交換組別。

實驗結果發現，攝取醣類 + 酮體這組的運動表現，比僅攝取醣類的對照組來的好上 2%，血液中也有著較低的乳酸濃度、以及較高的脂肪與酮體。但這份研究能推論出的僅有結合酮體與醣類或許能強化耐力型運動員的表現，2% 對於頂尖運動員可能很重要，但對一般人來說可能就不會差太多。

另外，關於在正常飲食下額外攝取酮體的議題，雖然藉由外源性的補充可以直接提高血液內的酮體濃度，並不需要花時間讓身體進入酮症狀態，但因為目前的實驗幾乎都是做在老鼠身上，雖然部分老鼠在攝取酮體後有加速減重的效果，且棕色脂肪細胞（可以想像成負責「燃燒」脂肪的一種脂肪細胞）的活性比實驗組來得高上不少；而其他相關的研究還包括了血糖調控、創傷性腦損傷癲癇等等也都因為額外增補的酮體而有所改善。

但可惜的是，除了本文提到的研究之外，目前幾乎沒有其他關於額外酮體增補的人體實驗，對於額外補充酮體的劑量、方式、時機等等也都未建立一套適用多數人的建議，更遑論有任何具體的結果，所以這邊我只能語帶保留，未來勢必需要更多的研究才行。

小結論

就科學家目前對酮症的了解、以及各種實驗結果來看，目前沒有證據顯示生酮飲食有助於運動表現、頂多持平。而在高強度、高爆發力的運動項目中，生酮飲食會降低運動表現。
