HAROLD PINTER’S BIO Harold Pinter, 2005 Nobel Laureate for Literature (October 10, 1930 - December 24, 2008), was born in London’s working-class Hackney district to Hyman and Frances Pinter, Jewish Eastern Europeans who had immigrated to the United Kingdom from Portugal. Pinter has said that his encounter with anti-Semitism while growing up in England was the fuse that ignited the organic process leading him to becoming a playwright. As his Nobel Prize citation attests, Pinter developed into the greatest En- glish dramatist of the post-World War II era.

In the history of the countries around the world, it is the political leaders who get the attention and history is often measured by their reigns. Chinese history is measured by the dynasty in control at the time; England has eras dedicated to rulers and families; and the “Louis” at the time measures French history. In America, we have the presidency, our highest political office. Since the Founding Fathers, particularly George Washington, rejected the idea of a king, we have presidents to mark the passage of our history. The ceremony and protocol that has built up around the office, in order to compete with foreign leaders and legitimize the power of the country, has made the office more constant than the person holding the title, meaning the person in the job has to fit the office, not the other way around.

Voters making selections in their own branch categories list only film titles on their ballots, not the individuals responsible for the various achievements. For that reason, as well as for reasons of printing time and convenience of using this pamphlet, full credit rosters are not provided for the listed films. An exception to the above exists in the four Acting categories, where simply listing titles would not provide enough voting information. Actors Branch members filling out their Nominations ballots must indicate both titles and the particular performers they are voting for.

Pictures eligible in the Animated Feature Film, Documentary Feature and Foreign Language Film categories are also eligible in the Best Picture category, provided they meet the qualifications for the category.
