No Hugh (Bonneville) for you, Vienna: Here’s why Hugh Bonneville Q: I was interested to see Hugh Bonneville hosting the Vienna Philharmonic’s New Year’s Day concert www.bendbulletin.com/events/ from England. Was he not scheduled to go to Vienna from the start, or was that a last-minute decision? – Melissa Arnold, via e-mail A: We spoke with the “Downton Abbey” alum a couple of months before the PBS-televised “Great Performances” event, and it already had been determined at that point that for his fourth consecutive year of hosting it, he would accomplish that remotely. Also given his recent role on The CW special “Silent Night – A Song for the World,” he joked with us that he was becoming known as “the host who sits by the fireplace.” Given the nature of the PBS broadcast this last time, it was fitting that Bonneville was situated as he was. Normally filled with spectators on the holiday, Vienna’s Musikverein was devoid of an on-site audience as the orchestra presented its traditional program of Strauss music ... due to restrictions caused by the coronavirus pandemic, of course. One of the perks of the job for Bonneville has been his access to some of Vienna’s most storied and beautiful locations, and though he told us he would miss making those in-person visits, he certainly understood the necessity.

Ingram relishes go-to role in the Big Easy Zion Williamson may have the name recognition factor but Brandon Ingram usually has the final shot. Indeed, when the game is on the line for the New Orleans Pelicans, the ball more often than not will end up in the hands of their 6-foot-7-inch small forward, who has responded with a stellar performance early in 2020-21. Through the season’s first week, the fifth-year man out of Duke was leading the Pels with 23.3 points per game on 45.7 percent shooting with seven rebounds and 6.5 assists. His efforts earned him Western Conference Player of the Month for Week 1. Also emerging are his leadership characteristics. Ingram wants the ball in pressure situations and when he fails, he has no problem taking the blame. In fact, even when he makes mistakes in an otherwise great game, as he did in a recent 28-point effort in a win over the San Antonio Spurs, he’ll fess up. Which speaks to character, a trait Pelicans’ head coach Stan Van Gundy loves and is a big reason why the team chose to award him with a five-year, $158 million contract in preseason. It’s also why New Orleans made him the linchpin of the deal that sent Anthony Davis west to the Lakers in the fall of 2019. Ingram and the Pelicans can be seen in action Friday, Jan. 29, when they clash with the Milwaukee Bucks at home in the early game of an ESPN doubleheader.
