Oscar: Foreign Language Film Category–The Beginning

December 10, 2009 by
Officially, the first winner in this category was "La Strada" in 1956, which helped established Fellini as one of the most important European director. Anthony Quinn, as Zampano, an itinerant strong man, and Giulietta Masina, as the young woman he buys and abuses as his clown and servant, gave memorable performances in a film that was also nominated for its Original Screenpplay (by Fellini and Tullio Pinelli).

Oscar 2009: Women Came Back from the Cold

November 29, 2009 by

Now that the movie year is almost over, let me say something about the female contenders for the Best Actress and Supporting Actress leagues. We can label 2009 as the year in which "Women Came Back from the Cold." It's hard to recall another year in recent memory in which the Hollywood (and foreign) cinema has seen so many good, meaty, substantial roles for women, many of which in the lead category.
