Hollywood Protests The Oscars

Description

On Thursday George Clooney, Brad Pitt and Robert de Niro joined a large protest in Hollywood over the announcement that Oscars organizers plan to present cinematography, editing and several other awards during commercial breaks at next week’s Academy Awards ceremony. Reuters reports an open letter has been penned, with several big names in Hollywood adding their names to it such as Sandra Bullock, Emma Stone and Jon Hamm. The letter has been signed by directors Martin Scorsese, Spike Lee and Alfonso Cuaron and demands the decision be reversed. The open letter, signed by more than 50 directors, actors and filmmakers, called the academy out for “relegating these essential crafts to lesser status” thereby insulting the professionals who specialize in the four areas.

  • Hollywood opens museum dedicated to cinema

    Los Angeles, US, Sep 21 (EFE/EPA).- Since the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was formed in 1927, one of its objectives, in addition to awarding the Oscars, was to inaugurate a museum dedicated to cinema. Now, more 90 years later, that has come to fruition with a spectacular building designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano.Although other cities in the world such as Paris, Beijing and Turin have for years had museums dedicated to cinema, Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, lacked one. The Academy Museum of Motion Pictures will put an end to this incongruity with a center that hopes to become one of the main tourist attractions of the Californian metropolis.
