In Slovenia, cinemas have started showing the Oscar-winning film Moonlight (Moolight, 2016), which in the dramatic finale of the awarding of the most prestigious film awards took the statuette out of the hands of the film La La Land. This made it the first film in history with an LGBT label and an all-black cast, and also the winning film with the lowest budget (US$1.5 million). Mahershala Ali became the first Muslim to win an Oscar for acting.
Oscars 2017
Although the dust won't settle for a long time after the envelope-switching scandal at the Oscars, the Oscars served up many other interesting moments caught on camera. We have collected the best ones.
The Oscars, the most prestigious golden statues in the world of the film industry, were awarded for the 89th time at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles. The evening ceremony was moderated by TV host Jimmy Kimmel. And who are the winners of the Oscars 2017? The acclaimed romantic musical Dežela La La took home 'only' 6 Oscars out of 14 nominations for the prestigious film award. The drama Moonlight won him the Oscar for best film. The best actress in a leading role is Emma Stone (La La Land) and the best actor is Casey Affleck (Manchester by The Sea).
There is quite a large list of actors, directors and other workers in the film industry that we firmly believe have won an Oscar. Well, let us trust you, that is not the case. Some of them have been nominated several times, but some, tragically, not at all. Check out these actors and directors who somehow haven't won an Oscar (yet). You will be surprised who all found themselves among them.
The Oscars are known as the most predictable film awards, and it looks like this year will be no exception. After La La Land swept the competition at the Golden Globes, the Critics' Choice Awards and the BAFTA British Film Awards, it looks like the popular Hollywood musical will take home a few Oscars on Sunday night (probably including the Oscar for Best movie). But despite its predictability, the Oscars have historically thrown up a few surprises in the form of various fashion fiascos, on-stage mishaps and inspirational speeches. Check out some of the most shocking moments in Academy Awards movie history below.
The film Hidden Figures (2016) is a true and inspiring story about three black female scientists who worked at the American space agency NASA when the space race between the United States and the Soviet Union was at its peak. The film boasts three Oscar nominations, namely for Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Octavia Spencer), Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Picture.
The Oscars 2017 are approaching. The ceremony of the most prestigious film awards, which will be held at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on February 26, 2017, will be hosted by the American comedian and TV host Jimmy Kimmel. And while we're all anxiously waiting to see who will take home the top prizes and whether La La Land will break the records of Titanic, Ben-Hur and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King with 11 statuettes, let's take a look at which actresses from the year 1927 took home the statuette for the leading female role to this day.
Did some scenes from La La Land look suspiciously familiar to you? La La Land demolishes everything before it. The romantic musical recently received a record 14 Oscar nominations (only Titanic and All About Eve have so far), and even before that it took home seven Golden Globes, which bodes well for the Oscars. If you've seen the movie before and certain scenes are familiar to you, it's no coincidence that the filmmakers drew inspiration from many movie classics, such as Let's Dance in the Rain, Moulin Rouge! and West Side Story. Watch the scenes that are almost a copy of the scenes from the mentioned films.
Now it's really going. The Golden Globes are followed by the awarding of the most prestigious film award, the Oscars, and before that, of course, the nominations. Did La La Land also sweep the Oscar nominations? Here are the nominations for the 2017 Oscars.
Silence is an epic about Japanese missionaries that director Martin Scorsese has been dreaming about for almost three decades, ever since he read the book. It is a film adaptation of Šusaku Endo's 1966 novel entitled Silence about two Jesuit priests from Portugal. In the 17th century, in search of a lost mentor, they find themselves in Japan, where the last days of the Christian faith are counted, so they encounter a series of dangers in locating the missing mentor. The story is true.
