The Top Listing Of Oscar Winners From Foreign Countries

It goes to justify that a lot of the great Oscar winners in history have been from the United states of america. Of course, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is situated and headquartered in Beverly Hills (on La Cienega Blvd.). The thing that many people don't realize is the fact that there have been plenty of exceptional celebrities who originated from other nations all over the world.

Heath Ledger, an Aussie, won the best actor award posthumously in {2009~last year} for his unparalleled portrayal of the deranged Joker motion picture} The Dark Knight, a Batman film different from any other ever produced. It absolutely was sad and ironic that after a short yet brilliant career, Ledger would win the award but not live to receive it. It was a clean sweep that season for foreign Oscar winners as British born actress Kate Winslet (Titanic) received Best Actress for her role as a German woman who seduces a man and is eventually discovered to have connections to the Nazis and tried as a collaborator. She as well earned a Golden Globe, a BAFTA, as well as a SAG award exactly the same year.

In 2008 Marion Cottilard from France moved into the growing list of foreign Oscar winners when she received Best Actress for her remarkable performance as Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose. At the same time in 2008 one more Aussie, the actress Cate Blanchett was nominated for Best Actress awards for her part as the besieged Queen in the movie Elizabeth: The Golden Age. Spanish born hunk Javier Bardem received Best Supporting Actor for the ultra violent No Country for Old Men, which also received Best Picture.

In 2003, an additional Aussie actress~actress from Australia}, the lovely Nicole Kidman, received Best Actress in The Hours. One more of the Oscar winners that very same year was Welsh born Catherine Zeta-Jones who received Best Supporting Actress for her role in Chicago, the musical, in which she portrayed Velma Kelly. More Oscar winners who are not from the United States feature Jim Broadbent who received Best Actor in the year 2003 for a foreign motion picture that no one watched called Iris, and 2002 saw New Zealander Russel Crowe win Best Actor awards for the movie everyone saw, Gladiator. Additionally , it won for Best Picture that same year. Best Supporting actor in 2002 went to the flexible Puerto Rican actor, Benicio del Toro, who impressed audiences in 2010 as The Wolfman. In 2002 British actor Michael Caine finally joined the ranks of Oscar winners when he bagged Best Supporting Actor for his part as the adoring doctor in the touching Cider House Rules, a excellent movie.

Throughout the years, several foreign born actors and actresses have been counted as Oscar winners and you can anticipate the same in many years to come. The U.S. doesn't have lock on the odds of bagging this award, irrespective of where they originated. Movie making nowadays faces its most difficult challenge ever facing the economic problems in the world. We're vulnerable to losing this much needed industry and individuals should get out and help support film making by paying to see these films, of which some use green screen and green screen backgrounds, as soon as they arrived at moviehouses.
