The Oscar is the ultimate recognition for achievements in the field of cinematography, and in the almost century-long tradition of awarding the Oscars, there have also been rare and tragic events that have become part of the history of the Oscars. We found ten interesting facts about the Oscars that you still don't know.

The guarantee for the success of the film Crimson Peak should already be the acting names: Mia Wasikowska, Tom Hiddleston, Charlie Hunnam and Jessica Chastain. If we add to this the fact that it was directed by the Mexican giant of cinema, Guillermo del Toro (Pacific Rim), and that with the film he returns to his home genre, horror, then there is no script that leaves us disappointed after watching the film.
Duff is a lighthearted but genuine comedy that delves into the deep dark, teasing labels that stuck with us in high school. It is an adaptation of the 17th-year novel of the same name by Kody Keplinger. You won't hear the term duff (''Designated Ugly Fat Friend'') in our school corridors, but there is no lack of similar signs that marked a good part of life for many people.
Anarchy is a film about dirty cops, drugs, arsonists and forbidden love. Topics chewed over a hundred times. But if it is based on the work of William Shakespeare, ''Cymbeline, King of Britain'' (Cymbelin), if it has the right mix of actors, a terrain where we can break through the clichés to the story and message, and if the strong cast is at the service of the play and don't hunt for as many viewers as possible, we get a movie worth our time.
The gang from the animated feature-length musical Frozen is back. Otherwise, not with a new feature film, but with a fabulous seven minutes, which under the title Frozen Fever will melt before the movie Cinderella, which will lose its shoe on the movie screens from March 12, 2015 (also in Slovenia). For an introduction, Disney treated us to the progress of the preparations for Ana's birthday.
Tonto the Indian, Edvard Škarje, Ed Wood, Captain Jack Sparrow, Willy Wonka, Sweeney Todd the barber, the Mad Hatter, Barnabas Collins and now Charles Mortdecai. Johnny Depp is clearly not tired of rejected roles, because even in his latest film, the comedy Mordecai, he plays a good-hearted art dealer and casual con artist, who is also a caricature at the same time.
In the medieval film Last Knights, Clive Owen returns to wielding a sword, as he did in King Arthur. This time in the role of the warrior Raiden, who is on a mission with his men to avenge his oblate master (Morgan Freeman) and overthrow the corrupt and sadistic ruler (Aksel Hennie). The Japanese Kazuaki Kiriya (The Legend of Goemon) played the directorial role.
Believe it or not, two films about the fashion design icon are coming to cinemas this year. The first one put his full name in the title, i.e. Yves Saint Laurent, while the one we are "comparing" with, which is much more star-colored, only bears the title Saint Laurent. Bertrand Bonello took the helm of the French film, while Gaspard Ulliel, the actor and face of Chanel, turned into a fashion designer.
In the psychological thriller The Boy Next Door, Jennifer Lopez proves that she hasn't aged a day in the last twenty years. But her flirtation with a younger man, who is her new neighbor, turns out to be a fatal mistake, because a moment of temptation, a moment of indiscretion, which leads to a hot affair, starts to collapse her already started life like a house of cards.
Pixels is another alien invasion movie, but with one important difference. When NASA sends a time capsule into space in 1982 with footage and photographs of life and culture on Earth, the aliens misinterpret the accompanying arcade video games as a harbinger of war. But in response, they don't send alien monsters or robots to Earth, but Pac-Man, and they themselves are ghosts. But Pack-Man is not the only famous arcade character that comes to wreak havoc on our planet.
The Mission: Impossible franchise returns for the fifth time this summer, this time under the title Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation. Tom Cruise is enjoying the role of Ethan Hunt for the fifth time, who despite his years clearly does not intend to give up daring missions, as the first abbreviated trailer promises a lot of hot action. In addition to Cruise, we will also see some other familiar faces in the film. For now, a little celluloid aperitif.
The continuation of the world bestseller Exotic Hotel Marigold is coming, where the residents will face fresh challenges, including the opening of the new hotel Exotic Hotel Marigold 2, and a traditional Indian wedding is also on the menu. A group of British pensioners, who entertained us and warmed our hearts already in the first part, will prove once again that old age can also be full of life.
