Takeaway Oscars The Oscars 1 The Oscars 奥斯卡金像奖 The biggest night of the Hollywood year 好莱坞最隆重之夜 Read the text below and do the activity that follows. 阅读下面的短文，然后完成练习： The Oscars are the biggest movie event of every year, and are always a star- studded, glamorous occasion. Their full title is ‘Academy Awards’, and the first awards took place in 1929, when films had only just begun being ‘talkies’, and not silent movies. The famous golden ‘Oscar’ statuettes represent the greatest honour an actor or film-maker can achieve. This year’s event, the 78th Academy Awards, was as fashionable as ever, with designer frocks and tuxedos parading up the red carpet. The awards this year were dominated by intimate, thought-provoking films, and there was a good spread of awards – no one film swept the board. ‘Crash’ was the surprise winner of the coveted best film award, as well as two other awards. The film is about racial tension in Los Angeles, and features an ensemble cast – lots of different characters with no one lead role. Despite being tipped as ‘the hottest favourite ever to win best picture’, ‘Brokeback Mountain’ only won three of its eight nominations, including a best director award for Ang Lee. George Clooney won the best supporting actor award for ‘Syriana’, but was also nominated as a director for ‘Good Night and Good Luck’. He joked about why he likes directing, “You can get old and grey and they still let you do the job!” British films had limited success, but a seven-months pregnant Rachel Weisz collected the best supporting actress award, and British-made ‘Six Shooter’ won in the best short film category. British animators Nick Park and Steve Box were surprised and jubilant that their film ‘Wallace and Gromit in the Curse of the Were-Rabbit’ won the animated film award. They collected their award wearing matching oversized stripy bow-ties. Steve Box commented, “We really didn't think we would win because a lot of the films were worthy and meaningful and deep and our film is just ridiculous.” 2 Glossary 词汇表 star-studded 群星汇集 talkies 有声电影 statuettes 金像奖 designer frocks 名牌晚礼服 tuxedos 燕尾服 red carpet 红地毯 intimate 探索内心世界的 thought-provoking 发人深思的 swept the board 包揽众奖 coveted 贪求的 racial tension 种族关系紧张的 tipped as 预测 hottest favourite 最热门的获奖者 nominations 提名 category 项目；类别 animators 动画片 jubilant 兴高采烈的 bow-ties 领结 worthy 值得称颂的 deep 深刻的 1.

  • APPENDIX Lesson 1.: Introduction
    APPENDIX Lesson 1.: Introduction The Academy Awards, informally known as The Oscars, are a set of awards given annually for excellence of cinematic achievements. The Oscar statuette is officially named the Academy Award of Merit and is one of nine types of Academy Awards. Organized and overseen by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS),http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award - cite_note-1 the awards are given each year at a formal ceremony. The AMPAS was originally conceived by Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer studio executive Louis B. Mayer as a professional honorary organization to help improve the film industry’s image and help mediate labor disputes. The awards themselves were later initiated by the Academy as awards "of merit for distinctive achievement" in the industry. The awards were first given in 1929 at a ceremony created for the awards, at the Hotel Roosevelt in Hollywood. Over the years that the award has been given, the categories presented have changed; currently Oscars are given in more than a dozen categories, and include films of various types. As one of the most prominent award ceremonies in the world, the Academy Awards ceremony is televised live in more than 100 countries annually. It is also the oldest award ceremony in the media; its equivalents, the Grammy Awards (for music), the Emmy Awards (for television), and the Tony Awards (for theater), are modeled after the Academy Awards. The 85th Academy Awards were held on February 24, 2013 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award Time of downloading: 10th January, 2013.

  • International Feature Film Award Rules
    RULE THIRTEEN SPECIAL RULES FOR THE INTERNATIONAL FEATURE FILM AWARD The unprecedented coronavirus/COVID-19 global pandemic mandated the closure of commercial motion picture theaters worldwide. Until further notice and for the 93rd Awards year only, country selected films that had a previously planned theatrical release but are initially made available through a reputable commercial streaming distribution service or video on demand may qualify for awards consideration in the International Feature category for the 93rd Academy Awards under these provisions: Provide to The Academy documentation (original document(s) and an English translation) of government mandated theater/cinema closure dates, previously planned theatrical release and steaming distribution or video on demand agreements. The film be made available on the secure Academy Screening Room member site within 60 days of the film being officially selected; That it meets all other eligibility requirements. When theaters reopen in accordance with national and local specified guidelines and criteria, and on a date to be determined by the Academy, this rules exemption will no longer apply. All films released thereafter will be expected to comply with the standard International Feature Film category theatrical qualifying requirements. In order for films to more easily meet theatrical exhibition requirements, the Academy will allow films to qualify outside the country of origin, provided the film is theatrically exhibited outside of the United States and its territories for at least seven consecutive days in a commercial motion picture theater for paid admission. The International Feature Executive Committee will evaluate all matters of rules and eligibility. Film festivals have been impacted by the coronavirus/COVID-19 pandemic.

  • Food for Soul
    Food for Soul A unique compilation of M ovies and Books to keep you on the edge! Part 1­ MOVIES This is a beginner’s list of movies that will stir your imagination. We recommend that you watch these carefully, over the next few months and try to understand the director’s message. These are interesting, but difficult movies. They will force you to question some of your beliefs, and will help your thought patterns take on new dimensions. Happy viewing! 1. THE UNTOUCHABLES “The Power of Character” Kevin Kostner, Sean Connery, Robert de Niro Kevin Costner became a star as the legendary “G­Man” Eliot Ness in THE UNTOUCHABLES, a slam­bang gangster saga with bravura direction by Brian De Palma, a witty David Mamet script and superb acting, including Robert De Niro as Al Capone and Sean Connery’s Oscar­winning turn as a wily veteran cop. It’s a terrifically entertaining and exciting movie. The story is almost totally fictionalized (Ness never killed Frank Nitti and had nothing to do with Capone’s income­tax rap), but this becomes completely irrelevant in light of the beautifully crafted film’s accomplishments. De Palma, who has often been accused of emphasizing style over content, here has a strong and substantial script to work with, and his flashy direction meshes perfectly with the film’s flamboyantly operatic design. The script may not be true to history, but it’s true to human emotion and very moving, personalizing the battle between good and evil by concentrating on the impact that violence and corruption has on families.

  • Culture of South Africa
    Culture of South Africa From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Zulus in Natal Castle of Good Hope, the oldest colonial building in South Africa The culture of South Africa is known for its ethnic and cultural diversity. The South African black majority still has a substantial number of rural inhabitants who lead largely impoverished lives. It is among these people, however, that cultural traditions survive most strongly; as blacks have become increasingly urbanised and Westernised, aspects of traditional culture have declined. Urban blacks usually speak English or Afrikaans in addition to their native tongue. There are smaller but still significant groups of speakers of Khoisan languages who are not included in the eleven official languages, but are one of the eight other officially recognised languages. There are small groups of speakers of endangered languages, most of which are from the Khoi-San family, that receive no official status; however, some groups within South Africa are attempting to promote their use and revival. Members of middle class, who are predominantly white but whose ranks include growing numbers of black, coloured and Indian people, have lifestyles similar in many respects to that of people found in Western Europe, North America and Australasia. Members of the middle class often study and work abroad for greater exposure to the markets of the world. Indian South Africans preserve their cultural heritage, languages and religious beliefs, being either Christian, Hindu or Muslim and speaking English, with Indian languages like Hindi, Telugu, Tamil or Gujarati being spoken less frequently as second languages. The first Indians arrived on the Truro ship as indentured labourers in Natal to work the Sugar Cane Fields, while the rest arrived as traders.

  • Abstract Taiwanese Identity and Transnational Families
    ABSTRACT TAIWANESE IDENTITY AND TRANSNATIONAL FAMILIES IN THE CINEMA OF ANG LEE Ting-Ting Chan, Ph.D. Department of English Northern Illinois University, 2017 Scott Balcerzak, Director This dissertation argues that acclaimed filmmaker Ang Lee should be regarded as a Taiwanese transnational filmmaker. Thus, to best understand his work, a Taiwanese sociopolitical context should be employed to consider his complicated national identity as it is reflected in his films across genres and cultures. Previous Ang Lee studies see him merely as a transnational Taiwanese-American or diasporic Chinese filmmaker and situate his works into a broader spectrum of either Asian-American culture or Chinese national cinema. In contrast, this dissertation argues his films are best understood through a direct reference to Taiwan’s history, politics, and society. The chapters examine eight of Lee’s films that best explain his Taiwanese national identity through different cultural considerations: Pushing Hands (1992) and Eat Drink Man Woman (1994) are about maternity; The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Brokeback Mountain (2005) consider homosexuality; The Ice Storm (1997) and Taking Woodstock (2009) represent a collective Taiwanese view of America; and Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (2000) and Lust, Caution (2007) reflect and challenge traditions of Taiwan Cinema. The eight films share three central leitmotifs: family, a sympathetic view of cultural outsiders, and a sympathy for the losing side. Through portraying various domestic relations, Lee presents archetypal families based in filial piety, yet at the same time also gives possible challenges represented by a modern era of equal rights, liberalism, and individualism – which confront traditional Taiwanese-Chinese family views.

  • States' Failure to Compensate the Wrongfully Convicted
    Facing Freedom: States’ Failure to Compensate the Wrongfully Convicted Emily T. Lurie Government Honors Thesis Georgetown University Defended April 30, 2010 2 Acknowledgements Completing this thesis would not have been possible without the help and support of several people. I want to first thank my parents for their guidance and encouragement throughout this process. I am extremely grateful to my mom, who traveled with me to Williamsburg, VA to conduct an interview for my thesis, and to my dad for attending the 2010 Innocence Network Conference with me in Atlanta. I would also like to thank my boyfriend Alex for offering his constant support and enduring countless conversations about wrongful convictions. My thesis advisor, Professor Marc Howard, has been an incredible source of inspiration and guidance over the past year. When I first decided to write on wrongful convictions, I was delighted to learn that there was a professor in the Government Department who had such a personal connection to the topic and shared my passion for issues related to criminal justice reform. Additionally, I am very appreciative for all of the guidance that our program director, Professor Eric Langenbacher, has offered over the last three semesters. Professor Langenbacher was the inspiration behind my research on how other countries approach the issue of compensation, which is presented in Chapter 5 of the thesis. I am also grateful to Professor Michael Kessler for being willing to serve as a second reader and participating in my defense. I also want to thank the individuals who took the time to speak with me about my research: Pam Oddo and Eric Nelson in Representative McGeehan’s Office (D-PA), David McGlaughlin in Representative Caltagirone’s Office (D-PA), Stephen Bruder in Senator Ferlo’s Office (D-PA), Duquesne University Professor John Rago, Senator Kent Rogert (D-NE), Carol Chamberlain in Assemblyman Solorio’s Office (D-CA), former Assemblyman Scott Baugh (R- CA), Cory Pomeroy in Senator Duncan’s Office (R-TX), Damien Brockmann in Representative Anchia’s Office (D-TX), Rep.

  • Oral Reading Test
    Universal Screening • Fall • Passage 2 Path Driver for Reading™ Grade 7 Oral Reading Test ▼ The Academy Awards is an event held every year to honor the people who work in movies. It is run by a group called the Academy, whose goal is to promote advancements in film. There are award categories for actors, directors, and writers. Awards are also handed out in categories such as costume design and sound effects. All of these awards are presented in a spectacular show held in Hollywood. It is perhaps the biggest night of the year for celebrities, and millions watch the show live on television. The awards show has changed a great deal over the years. The first Academy Awards event was held in 1929 in a hotel ballroom in Hollywood. The event was a private dinner, and there were only 270 people in attendance. When the awards were handed out, there were very few surprises because the winners had been announced three months earlier. Today, award winners are kept secret until the night of the event, when they are revealed live to the audience. Each Academy Award winner receives an award called an Oscar: a small golden statue of a knight standing on top of a film reel. No one is sure where the statue got its name. The most popular theory is that a woman who worked at the Academy once said it looked like her Uncle Oscar. Wherever the name came from, it has stuck. The Academy Awards are often called the Oscars. The Academy Awards can change from year to year as award categories are added or dropped.
