From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

Oscar season may be very exciting, but the greatest part of the annual event isn't the glitz, the glamour or merely seeing deserving films awarded.

No; it's The Shiznit's endlessly entertaining batch of Honest Posters.

You can see the entire lot over at The Shiznit and, in case you're feeling nostalgic, here are last year's selection.

The Oscars will take place at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on Sunday 26 February with Jimmy Kimmel hosting.

It's Damien Chazelle's musical love letter La La Land that leads this year's pack with 14 nominations, matching the record previously held by Titanic (1997) and All About Eve (1950).
