Members Administrator Posted July 6, 2006 Members Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 Aqui está um press release da Academia, divulgando novos nomes recém-convidados a se juntar a eles. A lista inclui Dakota Fanning e Werner Herzog. Nada como o ecletismo, não? Academy Invites 120 to Membership Beverly Hills, CA — The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has extended membership invitations to 120 artists and executives who have distinguished themselves in the field of theatrical motion pictures. The group will be the only new voting members invited to join the organization in 2006. “Two years ago the Academy decided to slow membership growth, and to become even more selective in choosing members,” said Academy President Sid Ganis. “Instead of inviting every proposed person who has achieved the minimum qualifications for his or her branch, the membership committees are selecting the most exceptionally qualified names from those lists.” Procedures instituted two years ago allow the organization to fill vacancies resulting from death and transitions to retired (non-voting) status and grow by a maximum of 30 new members annually. Candidates for Academy membership are considered by committees made up of prominent representatives of each of the organization’s 14 branches — art directors, executives, film editors, etc. Candidates can either be proposed by the committees or by two current members of their branch. In addition, individuals nominated for Academy Awards®, if not already members of the organization, are considered by the appropriate committees, though not necessarily invited to membership. This year, 39 of the invitees were 2005 nominees and eight won Oscars®. Though the great majority of AMPAS members are based in the U.S., membership is open to qualified filmmakers around the world. The Academy roster currently includes theatrical motion picture makers from 36 countries. New members will be welcomed into the organization at an invitation-only reception on Wednesday, September 20, at the Academy’s Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study in Beverly Hills.

Members -felipe- Posted September 17, 2006 Members Report Share Posted September 17, 2006 Uma duvida: Eu já vi em alguns sites e documentarios que Bette Davis ficou p. da vida por não ser indicada por Of Human Bondage, e que quando ganhou o Oscar por Dangerous no ano seguinte reclamou que aquele premio era apenas uma consolação por não ter sido indicada por Bondage. No entanto, dei uma olhada no imdb e lá consta que ela foi indicada sim pelo filme, mas que foi uma write-in nomination. O que isso significa e que diferença faz? Conta realmente como uma indicação ou não? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Thico Posted September 18, 2006 Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 Ela não foi indicada "oficialmente". Mas foi uma polêmica tão grande ela ter sido preterida, por conta de sua performance ser tão soberba e elogiada, que a Academia abriu uma exceção naquele ano, permitindo que os votantes escolhessem o nome de Davis caso preferissem. Ela estava concorrendo mesmo, mas não foi indicada. Só que parece que isso aconteceu bem ás vespéras e Davis ficou em terceiro lugar, o que também surpreendeu todo mundo, inclusive Claudette Coulbert, que estava embarcando num trem pra NY porque tinha certeza de que não iria levar. Foi buscada ás pressas para ser levada à cerimônia... E o prêmio de Davis em 35, por DANGEROUS, foi sim um consolo por não ter levado em 34, por OF HUMAN BONDAGE, até hoje a performance mais bravejada por ter sido esquecida pelo Oscar!

Members -felipe- Posted September 18, 2006 Members Report Share Posted September 18, 2006 E Thiago, vc já viu Dangerous? Davis está realmente bem nesse filme ou o Oscar ñ foi merecido? E a propósito, eu ouvi falar sobre uma historia de que ela tentou a todo custo ganhar mais um Oscar depois de Jezebel pq queria se tornar a primeira atriz a levar 3 Oscars. Isso é mesmo verdade?

Members Administrator Posted January 22, 2007 Members Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Artigo sobre a reação de alguns indicados em anos passados - tem o produtor de Cidade de Deus dando uns pitacos: 'You're a star until the moment you're not' On the eve of this year's Oscar nominations, a new film is released spoofing independent movies that get caught up in the awards season buzz. Xan Brooks talks to those who have suddenly found themselves part of the circus Saturday January 20, 2007 The Guardian Riding on a wave... Emily Watson was nominated for a best actress Oscar for Breaking the Waves in 1997, in competition with Brenda Blethyn for Secrets and Lies, Diane Keaton for Marvin's Room, Frances McDormand for Fargo and Kristin Scott Thomas for The English Patient. McDormand won. Photograph: Nick Ut/AP Emily Watson British actor. Oscar-nominated for Breaking The Waves (1996) and Hilary And Jackie (1998) Breaking The Waves was my first screen role; I signed off the dole to make it. The film was a very pure product, financed by a lot of people putting in a little money. It was distributed by October Films, which has now gone out of business. I had no publicist, nothing. The studios spend millions promoting their Oscar contenders. You'd open up the trade mags and see full-page adverts; we had a quarter-page on page 15. So we had to rely on press coverage. I went on a two-week tour of meeting journalists before the film was nominated, then I went to LA to do Jay Leno and Letterman. It was terrifying. < ="text/" =""> I have to say that the Oscar parties were a disappointment. They're very corporate, posh and formal: "intimate dinners" with 150 people and valet parking. But it was also a fairytale experience. It's true what they say: those that have shall be given more. When I was nominated for Hilary And Jackie I had Valentino calling up offering to make me a dress and sending me sketches to choose from. A word of advice: if you're ever going for a fitting with Valentino, be sure to wear your best underwear. When I had my inside leg measured, I was wearing the worst knickers in the drawer. Richard Linklater American film-maker. Oscar-nominated for Before Sunset (2004) I was nominated for the screenplay, which is the wild card category - the only place where truly small, truly independent films stand a chance. But we were up against Sideways, which had done 20 times the business we had. We weren't even in the same ballpark. The Oscars are like a virus - you're basically being entered in a competition you didn't ask to be entered in. That creates a dissonance in your brain. You tell yourself the Oscars don't mean anything, but everyone else is whispering that they do, and eventually you get infected. I'd been down that route before, with Waking Life a few years earlier. Everyone told me that it would be nominated, and they were all really excited about it. And then, when it wasn't, there were protests on the internet, and I found myself sitting at home and sulking because I hadn't been chosen. This time, I saw the Oscars as an excuse to go drink and party. I guess I should have promoted the film more. I could have visited the voters in the old folks' homes, but I didn't. Intellectually, I knew I never stood a chance. It's just that, when you're sitting there and they read out the nominees, you always have that moment when you think, "Well, maybe ..." Simon Channing-Williams British producer. Oscar-nominated for Secrets & Lies (1996) It all started when we took Secrets & Lies to Cannes. Mike Leigh [the director] and I showed up for the premiere and were instantly bundled off the red carpet to make way for Arnold Schwarzenegger. He'd somehow heard this was a hot ticket, so he rolled up in the largest limousine in the world, paraded himself on the red carpet and then left before the film even started. That was a foretaste of things to come. Secrets & Lies was nominated for five Oscars, and we thought Brenda [blethyn] had a good chance of winning Best Actress. But Mike and Brenda didn't work the press. They chose to stay in London and get on with their lives, and in the end we didn't win anything. Rachel Weisz did far more publicity when she was nominated for The Constant Gardener and I'm very glad she did. I think it genuinely makes a difference. When I went to the Oscars, I took my two children. We were picked up by a limo and it was wonderful, because the limo is yours to use how you want. The driver was amazing, a lovely chap - he drove us to all the big parties and entertained the boys when we weren't there, showing them the sights. But as soon as you lose it all changes. The limo was taken away from us that very night, and we had to get a people carrier back to the airport. That's how the Oscars work, at least for us common folk. You're a star until the moment you're not, and after that you're nothing. Julian Fellowes British screenwriter. Oscar-nominated for Gosford Park (2001) In December I won the New York Critics Circle award. Until that moment, I'd never even won a fruit cake at the fair. I flew over to collect it, and thought, "Well, that's that." What I didn't realise is that, by winning that award, I had joined the great pack of Oscar hopefuls. The starting gun had been fired. The build-up to the awards is rather like walking towards the sea. At first you can't hear it. Then the roar of the surf gets so loud you can't hear yourself think. I was in and out of LA in the run-up: you do the interviews and gatecrash a lot of parties, sneaking in like Billy Bunter to seize the free grub, but what you're really trying to do is make the film a topic, so the voters will watch it and vote for it. You're simply trying to get it into their frontal lobe. Meanwhile, you can't help but study the form of the other contenders. Even my friends were telling me it was a pity my script was nominated in the same category as Memento. I was convinced Memento was going to win, right up until the moment they read out my name. What made my win so odd for most Americans was that here was this unknown fat bald man who had come out of the shadows to take the prize. In LA it is practically illegal to be over 35, and particularly illegal to be over 35 and a nobody. So I was living proof that you should read a script by anyone, no matter how ridiculous they look. I became an emblem of overlooked ability. Todd Field American film-maker. Oscar-nominated for In The Bedroom (2001) The money was put up by two independent companies, Greene Street and Good Machine. I didn't even take a salary; I gave up every financial interest just to get the film finished. Then we took the print to Sundance, where it was snapped up by Miramax on the very first day - the first festival acquisition the company had made in two years. Miramax proceeded to work me non-stop. From April to April I did maybe 1,500 interviews. This was great, because it kept the film playing in cinemas, but I could never go through that again. It's a very dangerous process, because you become a living, breathing anecdote. Something that seems very personal and honest the first time you say it soon becomes your cliched sales pitch. It's very damaging to your psyche. I never thought we were going to win, and I probably shouldn't have been there at all. I was just a rube who got into the final round of Jeopardy and was waiting to see if I'd won a prize. All the signs were against us. If the Oscars had been a month earlier, we might have stood a chance. But by the time we hit the final round, it was all over. It's like when you stick a thermometer into a turkey to check its temperature. Two weeks before Oscar night, I could tell we were cooling down. Alison Owen British producer. Oscar-nominated for Elizabeth (1998) On the day the nominations came out, I was having lunch with my sister. Afterwards, I was walking up Oxford Street and my fellow producer Eric Fellner was scanning the street, looking for me. He said, "We've been nominated." I said, "What for?" The Oscars just weren't on our radar. After that, it all got rather stupid. I had designers ringing me up to offer me dresses to wear. Harry Winston gave me diamonds. Then there was that whole rollercoaster machine of publicity people and stylists trying to get the most out of you. The actual award campaign was handled by Polygram - they hired publicity people and placed adverts - but it was all done out in LA; I didn't know what was going on. The strangest thing about Oscar night is the place-sitters at the theatre. You only have to get up from your seat for a second and someone in a pink dress promptly hops into it. It sounds silly, but it creates a real problem: you come back from the bar and see someone in your seat and naturally assume that you can't sit back down. It was very disorientating. Elizabeth Karlsen British-based producer of the Oscar-nominated The Crying Game (1992) and Little Voice (1998) I've been to the Oscars, the Golden Globes and the Emmies, and it's interesting to see how the Oscars make sure they stay top of the pile. They definitely crank up the glamour factor. The Crying Game was produced by Palace Pictures and distributed by Miramax. Palace and Miramax came up at the same time - they were young Turks, hungry cineastes, operating outside the corporate structure, and none of us knew quite what we had on our hands or how to deal with it. But a lot has changed since then. When we released Little Voice, it was definitely thought of as an "Oscar-timed" movie. Oscar campaigning has become much more orchestrated and professional. Maybe that takes some of the suspense out of it, at least for those involved. I remember last year being certain Brokeback Mountain was going to win Best Film. I emailed [producer] James Schamus and said, "I can't believe you didn't win." He emailed back and said, "Oh no, we knew about a week beforehand." Donald Ranvaud Brazil-based producer of the Oscar-nominated City Of God (2002) Miramax officially supported City Of God from the beginning, but the money wasn't there and Fernando [Meirelles, the director] had to put up his home just to raise the funding. Then it played at Cannes at 3.30 in the morning. No one cared; people were sleeping in the cinema. The global buzz only began to build later in the year. The movie came out and did OK. But when it wasn't selected for Best Foreign Film at the Oscars, Harvey Weinstein took it personally. He spent an enormous amount of money on advertising, sent out tonnes of videos to voters. We were witnessing the well-oiled Miramax machine, the thing they do so well. But once we had four nominations in other categories, Harvey had made his point. We had no chance of winning; the battle had been won. Actually I think it's better not to win. I honestly do. When you are one of the nominees people identify with you and are on your side. But when you win you instantly make mortal enemies of the other nominees. All at once you have four people who are your enemies for life. All kinds of shit got stirred up when the nominations were announced. City Of God is 100% a Fernando Meirelles movie, so it was right that he should be nominated as Best Director. But Fernando had given a co-director credit to Katia Lund, who had done a wonderful job working with all the favela kids who appear in the film. It's the sort of thing that would never happen in Hollywood, but Brazil is different: people are appreciated and rewarded and the co-director credit is recognised there; it doesn't mean that you are a glorified assistant. Except this meant there was controversy when Katia wasn't also nominated. I don't know how much of that came from her personally and how much from US lawyers who were out to make a quick buck. But it was such bollocks. I tried to ignore it, but Fernando was very disappointed. It just shows how the prospect of an Oscar can bring out the worst in some people.

Members Administrator Posted January 23, 2007 Members Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Mais declarações - a última, do O'Toole, é a melhor! Nominee Reactions Jackie Earle Haley "I'm super thrilled to just be listed with these guys. Who am I? How did I get on that list? There's no way for me to judge my performance. When I look at me on screen, I call it the cringe factor. But this didn't make me cringe, so I know I wasn't bad." "I just want to kiss each and every Academy member. I can't believe they recognized me in such a crowded category. Wow, what a trip." Mark Wahlberg "I spent the first 15 years of my life getting into trouble with the Boston Police Department. It's nice to have put those bad experiences to good use." Judi Dench "I'm very pleased. I'm in frighteningly good company. It is very nice of the queen to allow me in for a minute." Helen Mirren "Whilst her presence is with us from her image on the letters that come through our door and on the money we spend, we know so little of the woman behind the image. I hope that my performance has conveyed a sense of Elizabeth the woman as well as the queen." Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu "I made a bet with Guillermo del Toro that I would not be nominated. Since he won the bet, I have to take him to this very expensive Japanese restaurant tonight, where we will have the best sake. So tomorrow, I will be bankrupt." Barack Obama ``I think it's wonderful. I think it is not only an outstanding film, but it has created a genuine cultural shift in how people think about what I believe to be one of the most important issues of our times,'' Abigail Breslin "We made chocolate milk and I went on my computer. I'm so excited. I just got a new computer, a MacBook, so I was playing games. And then I had a buttered roll." George Miller ''The biggest effect it's having on little kids is they all want to go to tap-dancing lessons.'' Penelope Cruz "I'm so happy, I still can't believe it. I'm still thinking, 'Is this really happening?' It's a big thing for me, especially since it's an Almodovar film. It's the biggest amount of happiness in terms of acting and the freedom we felt through the process of making the film. And, now, this today, what else can I ask for?" Bill Corso "What can I say, stunned. I would have thought Pirates for sure. My Mother called to notify me, by asking, 'is that true, what does it mean?' God bless her." Al Gore ``I am so grateful to the entire team and pleased that the Academy has recognized their work. This film proves that movies really can make a difference.'' Buckingham Palace "It is a very positive day for the British film industry. We are delighted for all those who have been nominated." Patrick Marbar "My wife and I don't have much time to celebrate tonight -- it's hard to get a babysitter on such short notice. We don't get out much with our three kids (ages 1,3 and 5). In fact, to celebrate the Golden Globes, we had dinner at McDonald's!" Kate Winslet "This isn't supposed to happen to a girl who grew up in a tiny town. I was told the only way I'd have a career as an actress would be if I could settle for playing fat girls." ''I am going to be screaming and whooping all day long. I really thought I wasn't going to get a nomination. I am really going to try to enjoy this moment. I'm speechless.'' Rachid Bouchareb "I can promise the members of the Academy that we will take very good care of it and clean it once a week." Helen Mirren Fellow nominee Kate Winslet says she is convinced Mirren will win. And when Mirren hears that, she says: "I think that's very, very kind and generous of her. A classic good British actress kind of thing to say. Actresses are very, very generous to each other. The more I go through this sort of process, when push comes to shove, you realize how generous people are. Meryl Streep has been incredibly generous. I genuinely think we will all be very happy to see whichever one of us wins. We will all celebrate it, and one will share it with them without question. We've all been there before and know the successes and failures of a professional life. We put our chins up when we confront failure." Stephen Frears "if you get put in a list with those guys, you've done pretty well." Jennifer Hudson "I feel like I have reached the impossible." And that's in addition to proving Simon Cowell wrong Salma Hayek "If each one of them got nominated on their own, that would be great, but the fact that they all did ... that's just too much for one little girl this early in the morning." Leonardo DiCaprio ''I'm very happy for Martin Scorsese. He's been overlooked too long.'' Djimon Hounsou "Personally, I feel that the first time I was nominated, people were thinking I got lucky. The second time around is always better. Luck has to do with it, but the film speaks for itself." Mark Wahlberg ''Any time someone says you have an opportunity to work with Martin Scorsese you jump at the chance.'' Davis Guggenheim on Al Gore and An Inconvenient Truth ''For years he's been in the wilderness on global warming. Now he's ready for his grand walk. Now he's at the Academy Awards. It's a hero's return.'' Susanne Bier "I am now going out to buy a new dress." Rinko Kikuchi ''I still can't believe that I was one of the cast members. I was nominated because of the energy and teamwork from every one of the talented people involved in the film.'' Eddie Murphy "'Without a doubt, receiving this nomination will stand out as one of the highlights of my career.'' Peter O'Toole "If you fail the first time, try, try, try, try, try, try, try again."
