This day is thrown considerable doubt among film buffs around the world, how it is delivered at the Academy Awards, considered the largest commercial presitigio in the film world.

But to win that rejuvenates old issue only because he received thirteen nominations? Or win the story of young boy who dreams of becoming a millionaire? "Or will the relationship of a teenager with an older woman, or the recreation of a politician gay or interview the former president of the United States?.

regularly in the Academy Awards almost repeated that have won Golden Globe awards, however, would not happen now so at least for the movie "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" because it would be high if received 13 Oscar nominations, one fewer than the blockbuster "Titanic", did not win any awards as it did in the Golden Globe, why not win any.

And if we consider that the tape india "I want to be a Millionaire" and swept the Golden Globes, the BAFTA Award and the Filmmakers Awards, there is no doubt that this will the winner of multiple Oscars, but there will be a fair distribution.

Brad Pitt in The Curious Case of Benjamin Botton. "

Also, one should note that in 15 of the last 20 Academy Awards, the most nominations has won the award for best movie ..

According to the number of Oscar nominations, three tapes that would have to carry all the most important thing, "The Curious Case of Benjamin buttton", "I want to be a Millionaire" and "Milk," but that is what more curious in issue number 81 of the Oscars.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button "in which Brad Pitt plays a man who is born old and rejuvece the passing years, is nominated for best picture, actor, actress, director, soundtrack, adapted screenplay, photography, editing and direction Art, among others. However, not win any of those genres in the Golden Globes

Kate Winslet in The Reader "(Elector).

Instead, "I want to be a Millionaire," directed by Danny Boyle, which is set in Bombay on a poor girl who dreams of becoming a millionaire and participates in a game show, which won 10 Oscar nominations, is the one that swept the Golden Globe, BAFTA Award and the Filmmakers, but has won 60 other awards at festivals and events, and 29 nominations. In the Golden Globe Awards won best picture and director, screenplay, soundtrack.

"My name is Harvey Milk" received eight Oscar nominations, but for a Golden Globe nomination and had only one did not win. It is the story of the first openly gay to assume public office in the United States and the role is responsible for Sean Penn.

The three Oscar-nominated films are also candidates for best picture, along with "Frost / Nixon" and "The reader" about a romance between a boy and a Nazi guard.

For best actor though they are supposed to have to be Brad Pitt because he works in the film with 13 nominations received, may be arising as a surprise and win the veteran and has been less than , Michkey Rourke for "The Wrestler" and who won that award in the Globes and the Bafta.

Kate Winslet (Titanic) and won the Golden Globe for best actress for "The Reader" and believe that repeated, but has not ruled out that would be Angelina Jolie for "The Substitute", a drama which looks like the mother who loses her son and the police appear to solve the disappearance of children, give to one who is not her son. But that will face the corrupt police of the 30's.

Heath Ledger as the Joker "posthumous Oscar?.

Penelope Cruz for the second time aiming for an Oscar, now as mejr supporting actress in "Vicky Cristina Barcelona" by Woody Allen and apparently has a chance to win but also have the potential to Amy Adams and Viola Davis "Doubt".

For the award for best supporting actor for Heath Ledger will likely be. And it will be a curious and nostalgic because regardless of his role as the joker in the latest Batman movie "The Black Knight" is a very good performance if they give the prize would be earning a year of his death by overdose, January 22 2008. And the award already gave at the Golden Globes

"Hellboy II" Guillermo del Toro, for makeup.

Although often been repeated that do not reward the director who was considered the best movie of the year, chances are that the director of "I want to be a Millionaire" Danny Boyle, win as it did in the Golden Globes and the Bafta Awards.

Also at the Oscar ceremony will surely present a special tribute for the death of the great director Sydney Pollack, occurred in May 2008.

estimate that in the case of the animated, no doubt he will win the funny and romantic story of "Wall-E" although its great rival to "Kung Fu Panda" to be a blockbuster film, but might even win by his original story.

For best makeup, the tape of Guillermo del Toro "Hellboy II: The Golden Army" has two very serious rival, with "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "The Black Knight."

will, no doubt, a ceremony of contrasts, and there will be cases in which it believes are actually awarded to the best, as has happened in other years.

Yul Brynner was an exceptionally very good actor. His image was also very famous in the world with his head shaved to portray a character on stage, and he decided to continue using FOLLOWING well in all his movies. But unquestionably, was very famous and admired by many for playing "The Ten Commandments" and the classic western "The Magnificent Seven" and the movie "The King and I" and "Anastasia" and "The Brothers Karamazov" .

Yul Brynner was born on July 11, 1920 on the island of Sahkaline in Russia and his real name was Taidge Khan. And he had a past so exotic that almost seems the story of "The King and I" to do so after very famous, because his father was an engineer who later changed his Mongolian name, and his mother was a gypsy who died at birth it.

was in Beijing where she spent her early years, but then when he studied in Paris, decided to leave school to get a gypsy circus that travels around the world, which is a trapeze artist, but at 17 years old when they suffer a fall from the trapeze, you have to leave the circus. Then he continued studying in Paris filosoría, but again returned to the world of entertainment, but now with a Soviet troupe, Michael Chekov, who was on a tour made by the United States in 1941 and then managed to get a job at the Voice of America, as host of the French language, but above all by the sound of his voice. But he went on stage and 5 years later, he was making his debut on Broadway in the musical "Lute Song". One of her co-stars, Mary Martrin, Yul recommended to give him the starring role in "The King and I".



And I took that paper and everyone was surprised by its tremendous success, because the staging lasted 30 years! and reached 4.625 presentations, achieving a success that never before seen a musical on Broadway. And in the biographies that have been written for the actor, almost all agree that there Bryney Yul career on Broadway was born and died there.

in 1949 when he was in his early days as a movie actor, starred in the "Port of New York" where hair appears, playing a little bandit professional category. But then he was when he spoke on "The King and I" and the decision of the creator of clothing, forced to shave his head, and so had to walk the rest of his career, for 30 years was playing the same character on Broadway . And the film version of "The King and I" is still the best version of the song you probably know he has seen in more than one time on television, with the version of Anna and the King played by Jodie Foster and Chow Yun-Fat on the teacher who is hired to teach English to the children of the King of Siam, and eventually falling in love. The first version was with Rex Harrison in 1946, and then the Yul Bryner won five Oscar nominations and 4 others.

Steve McQueen and Yul Brynner in "The Magnificent 7"

Yul's image with his shaved head was already very famous, so when the actor was offered other roles in other films, has not accepted placed him wig and shaved and appeared in films that also made him very famous Pharaoh as his role in "The 10 Commandments" or as the king of Israel in "Solomon and Sheba", then goes to his strange character " Anastasia "and then participates in a classic with" The Brothers Karamazov. "


And then in 1960 came another tape that is still regarded as a classic Western genre, with "The Magnificent Seven" directed by John Sturges and based on "The Seven Samurai" by Akira Kurosawa, but moved to the border with Mexico In times of the Old West, making note not only because overall a good movie, but for the actions of Yul, along with Steve McQueen, Charles Bronson and James Coburn. Indeed, the film represented a watershed in the genre, and many tried to imitate them, even then would a continuation of this film, but was unsuccessful, both because it was not because Yul Bryner died, and also because the heroes died on screen.

Other tapes in which he worked were "The Light at the world," "The Madwoman of Chaillot", "Villa Rides!", "The shadow of a giant," "Morituri," "Taras Bulba" "The Buccaneer" among others. In addition

Yul Brynner, who since coming to the United States sought American citizenship since 1959 was given time to help others, and since then was special advisor to the High Commission of the United Nations, in charge of refugees. Indeed, when the death occurred Yul, a person who cried a lot was Phac Minh Chau, a Vietnamese refugee 16 years Yul Brynner which had funded his education. And she said it was a great guy for her.

Yul Brynner in "Taras Bulba"

film had already separated in the seventies, 3 movies after he played the robot gunslinger "Westworld" and by then he had installed his own production company in Beverly Hills.

His private life was really that, because it was too little is known about him. Regularly with his privacy, why were only appearance in the media, when he married three times and divorced twice. He married Virginia Gilmore in 1944, with Jacqueline Brynner in 1972 and then with Kathy Lee. Three daughters and one son was with them.
drought
When working on Broadway in the musical "The King and I", in 1983 he was diagnosed suffering from lung cancer and had to stay the proceedings, but after treatment he was pronounced cured and returned to work, but days later came the death on October 10, 1985.

also worth remembering that when Yul Brynner and was diagnosed with lung cancer, at 63 years of age, both because of smoking, even though he was 15 years of not smoking, while being interviewed on " Good Morning America "on ABC News, made a shocking statement noting that" I really wanted to make an announcement when they found out I was so sick and my time was so limited. I wanted to make an ad that said simply: now I'm gone, I tell you do not smoke, whatever you do, do not smoke. If I could turn back and not smoking, would not be talking about cancer. I believe it. "

After the death of Yul Brynner, as published in the New York Times, the American Cancer Society formed a spot with his statement that was passed in many countries and they all made an impact and many smokers left cigarette consumption. And this spot is still regarded as one of the most memorable and shocking.

Kates Playground German Song

great actor John Houston a very creative film-director Pancho Cordoba

+ had a lengthy film career as writer, director and actor
+ was nominated for an Oscar 10 times for his film and best director
+ directed on the screen's most popular stars of the era, and successfully

FLORES ESPINOSA

John Huston was one of those great directors who had a lengthy career in various areas of filmmaking, and that it was very good, because although much of its heyday was as an elder, but offered creative innovations.

Also, honored to work with the biggest stars of the moment, but also surprised many when he played the principal consumers own career and image of the famous, turning on the screen and in what many considered a big risk did very well at the box office such as when expressed as a vague and dirty Humphrey Bogart, the star of the moment in the film "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre", or hand trembled in directing Marlon Brando in the role of a homosexual in " golden reflection of your eyes "by Liz Taylor. Even one of the few who experimented with good results in various genres.

The August 28, 1987 died in Rhode Island and was born in Nevada, Missouri on August 5, 1906. The film director who claimed that he chose the actors for what they did, but what they could do for him, "... and then try to guide you through the role as discreetly as possible, without letting him see that as a director I myself am acting all the roles ...".

was his own writer of almost 40 a little less than 50 films he directed, but also participated in many of them, and participated as an actor in 40 films from 1929 to 1987.

was nominated for the top prize world an Oscar 10 times, but only won twice, for best director and best screenwriter in the third nomination he received in 1948 for "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" and before he had been nominated for best screenplay written specifically for films with "Dr. Ehrlich's Magic Bullet "and then" Sergeant York. "

Humphrey Bogart in "Treasure of the Sierra Madre"

Then followed the Oscar nominations for "The Asphalt Jungle," "The African Queen" with Humphrey Bogart and Katharine Hepburn , then by "Moulin Rouge", then by "The Cardinal", then by "The Man Who Would Be King" and finally "The Prizzi family honor" with Jack Nicholson, Angelica Huston, Robert Loggia, Kathleen Turner, Bruce Willis. But

received worldwide critical acclaim for films like "Moby Dick" with Gregory Peck, as well as "The Maltese Falcon," "The Red Badge of Courage," "Beat the Devil", "The Misfits" with festivals and won several international awards.

And even a movie about a boxer "Fat City" (Fat City) on a fighter in decline, with which he ventured into a fanciful legend. But when asked why a tape of a boxer, he touched the heart and began with their memories of when in real life was a boxer and said it was pretty good. But it was also trooper in Mexico! As well as a storyteller, a painter who came to present their work on the streets of Paris and London.

But it was also a good self-critical, because it had started in the film as a writer in a time rife with refried issues in the thirties and agree that had no success. Then he retired and returned and had changed the cinematic trends, what had been a failure now hailed him and hire him again and then came the best time of their productive life in film, and that was when he directed and wrote "The Maltese Falcon," which was released in 1941 and is considered the best of his career .

But personally I believe that in his career again presented a situation which he narrated, as though directed films that ended up being nominated for an Oscar as best director and best screenwriter, some felt that was on the decline and attributed it to his great age.

But it was the opposite, because now you can watch video tapes these nine films that were nominated Oscar and you will see that at least half of them deserved the Oscar, because they are of good quality, especially compared with those other films that year had been awarded the Oscar in various categories.

attacked him in his time from various points to such an extent that one of his outstanding films and liked in other countries, "Moby Dick" in the United States was heavily criticized because Huston was a Gregory Peck who hated God in that tape, and Huston claimed that the author of the story of Moby Dick, Herman Melville hated God, and as people saw as a very straight to actor Gregory Peck, involved a novel fiction with reality and the tape was demonized. And even criticized him for the killing of whales that are highlighted in the film, and did not believe that only some of the 20 whales shown, were real, because many of them were giant wooden frames covered with latex and steel. And now, you can see this tape and see that it is a good version of the song.

scene from "The Maltese Falcon"


But John Huston, like many other directors and writers, they came to affect his career pretty cut scenes that someone does finally in movies, it almost always is to make it better, but that others come to believe that the director "is being sold" more and more, when in fact others are imposed on what the views or wishes the director or screenwriter. And life became bitterly review the cuts in his films "The Barbarian and the Geisha" and "Sinful Davey".

only had 3 children with 5 wives, Celeste Shat from 1972 to 1977, but divorced. With Ricki Soma from 1950 to 1969 and had 2 children who have died. Evelyn Keyes was married from 1946 to 1950 and had a son. With Lesley Black from 1937 to 1945 and divorced and Dorothy Harvey from 1925 to 1933 and they divorced. It was definitely

a very creative and diverse filmmaker.
