  • Kate Winslet Creer En Uno Mismo Es Poder
    KATE WINSLET CREER EN UNO MISMO ES PODER. LA GANADORA DEL PREMIO DE LA ACADEMIA, KATE WINSLET SE CONVIERTE EN EMBAJADORA GLOBAL DE L’ORÉAL PARIS. Entre las más grandes y reconocidas actrices de cualquier generación, ícono de la importancia de la confianza en uno mismo y activista por el cambio, L'Oréal Paris se complace en anunciar a Kate Winslet como embajadora global para compartir la misión de las mujeres: “nunca dudes de ti misma; todas lo valemos.” “Kate Winslet es un verdadero ícono, en el cine y como mujer fuerte. Es una voz empoderadora para nuestra misión en L'Oréal Paris: creer en ti mismo para que la próxima generación no lo dude ni por un momento. Con su talento para visibilizar historias de mujeres y apoyar a las que no tienen voz, Kate Winslet comparte nuestra razón de estar en L'Oréal Paris: animar a las mujeres a conocer su valor, celebrar su belleza y atreverse a ser ellas mismas.” - Delphine Viguier-Hovasse, Presidenta de Marca Global de L'Oréal Paris. FORJANDO SU PROPIO DESTINO Después de saltar a la fama a través del mayor éxito de taquilla de su tiempo, Titanic, Hollywood llamó a Kate Winslet, a sus 21 años. Sin embargo, la joven actriz eligió papeles significativos, con los cuales ella sintió una conexión personal; papeles que mostraban a mujeres completamente reales y complejas, decidida a "ser" sus personajes en lugar de actuar. Desde interpretar a una mujer a quien se le borraron los recuerdos con su novio en Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, una madre desagradable en Little Children o una esposa inquieta en Revolutionary Road, desarrolló la gama y la versatilidad que convertirían sus actuaciones en las más aclamadas por la crítica y comercialmente.

    88TH ANNUAL ACADEMY AWARDS® SIDEBARS In 2011, the balloting rules first allowed for the possibility of between five and ten nominees for Best Picture. For the first three years, there were nine nominees. For the past two years, there have been eight. Steven Spielberg has set the record for the most Best Picture nominations for an individual producer with nine. In the Acting categories, eight individuals are first-time nominees (Bryan Cranston, Tom Hardy, Mark Rylance, Brie Larson, Charlotte Rampling, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Rachel McAdams and Alicia Vikander). Five of the nominees are previous Acting winners (Eddie Redmayne, Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Jennifer Lawrence and Kate Winslet). At age 25, Jennifer Lawrence is the youngest four-time Acting nominee. Sylvester Stallone, who received his first Acting nomination in 1976 for Rocky, is the sixth person nominated for playing the same role in two different films. He follows Bing Crosby as Father O'Malley in Going My Way (1944) and The Bells of St. Mary's (1945); Paul Newman as Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler (1961) and The Color of Money (1986); Peter O'Toole as Henry II in Becket (1964) and The Lion in Winter (1968); Al Pacino as Michael Corleone in The Godfather (1972) and The Godfather Part II (1974); and Cate Blanchett as Elizabeth I in Elizabeth (1998) and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (2007).

  • And What It Means
    WASHINGTON ( AP)--Henry A. Kissinger said yesterday Hanoi has balked at President Nixo n's Vietnam peace proposals, presented in a nationwide ele- vision speech Tuesday night, on two counts: the fine print on blueprints for a U.S. wit idrawal and the election of a new Saigon government. Kissinger, w ho was Nixon's clandestine go-between in 12 just-disclosed H IXOH S secret Paris c conferences with key figures from Hanoi, said at a rare news conference he still hopes for a negotiating breakthrough. He called th e Presidents eight-point proposal a flexible one, not a take-it-or-leal ve-it proposition. The Presiden t's far-travelled assistant for national security affairs said Nixon, by publicizing 26 months of secret negotiations in an address peaceto the nation, may spur North Vietnam to resume talks "on a more urgent basis.", Nixon unfold ed a peace offer that includes an Indochina cease-fire, withdrawal of American forces and release of war pris- oners, new elections in South Vietnam with the Viet Cong participating, and resignation of the Saigon government a month before the internationally supervised balloting. proposal. Under the Nixon plan, all these developments would take place within six months of a Washington-Hanoi agreement. The basics of the proposal have ie an in 7hanni's hands since Octoberr, Nixon said, bu t Hanoi has given no response. Radio Hanoi, in a quick response to Nixon's address, said it contained nothing new an d insisted that the U.S. position was "not changed in any way." But the broadcast stopped short of rejecting the Chief Executive's proposals.
