Lina wertmuller, Geena Davis, David Lynch and Wes Studi are the four filmmakers will be awarded in 2019, with the honorary Oscar. Actress Davis gets the prize for its humanitarian commitment.
Scoffers think that the honorary Oscar was awarded to all those who are considered the “normal” Oscars always empty. The honorary Oscar was a kind of compensation for the missed Oscars.
But that is only half the truth. It is true that there are many film makers who have often been nominated at the Oscars to the other nominees but always the Shorter pulled.
Some of today’s famous actors or Directors are even never been nominated. Their fame has developed either late, or even that the Academy should Academy grant to be honest – the Academy members have slept through it easily, earned film in honor of artists at the peak of the career.
The first honorary Oscar in film history: Charlie Chaplin, here in “The Kid” alongside Jackie Coogan
The honorary Oscar has been around since 1929, the year in which the United States is also the most famous film prize in the English-speaking world was introduced to The Oscars. Charlie Chaplin got a and the Film-production Studio “Warner Brothers”, too, because Warner had brought the first sound film to premiere in cinemas: “The Jazz Singer”.
Since then, there has been a lot of honor-Oscar-award winners, were also honored as the Warner companies and Film organizations. The individual films were for a long time about honorary Oscars, since 1990, the conclusion was that, from now on, it was An honorary Oscar, there’s only individuals.
And the are Excellent in the year 2019:
Lina Wertmuller
Your great time-the 1970s, since the 1928 Rome-born film Director turned out one Hit after another. The Hollywood was back then. For her Film “Seven beauties” was nominated in the category “Best Director” for an Oscar – as the first woman ever to do so.
Lina Wertmuller
So she was following in the footsteps of one of their sponsor: Federico Fellini. Had you obliged as an assistant Director for his masterpiece “eight and a half”. The value of müller, who came from the theatre, was so much Liked that you staged in the same year, their first Film: “The Basilisk”.
But you still had to wait a few years until you are offended with such films as “Mimi, in his honor” (1972), “love and anarchy” (1973), “Seven beauties” (1976) and “In the rain of the night” (1978) great success with the audience and also the funds could be celebrating.
Lina wertmuller movies at the time were also in the German programme cinema a promise. Today, the 91-year-old Director’s mind, it is in your best films to merge your great Temperament as well as its political setting in a highly emotional, very entertaining and politically current film narratives.
Geena Davis
The American actress Geena Davis gets – in contrast to the other on Sunday (27.10. 2019) excellent honor-Oscar-winners – the Statuette, which bears the additional title “the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award”. This is a “real” Oscar, but emphasises, above all, a social and humanitarian commitment in the film industry.
Geena Davis
The 1956 in the US state of Massachusetts-born Davis was founded in 2007 and is a designated Institute, which deals with the issue of gender justice in the film industry. Studies of the Institute soon came to the little surprising result: women are under-represented in U.S. Film. Davis was an important pioneer in a much-discussed topic.
Previously, the performer had been able to celebrate in front of the cameras success. Your great time-the late 80s and early 90s were years when she acted in films such as “The travels of Mr. Leary”, “Thelma & Louise” and “An ordinary Hero”. For “best supporting actress” got you that time for her role in “Mr. Leary” an Oscar.
Later, Geena Davis has had less luck with their movies. In the new Millennium, she made a Comeback, with appearances in series and TV-movies for which she also won Emmys and Golden Globes.
David Lynch
The best-known face among the four honorary Oscar winners. And the classic case of a film that would have long deserved an Oscar. The American Director may be considered one of the most influential film artists of the present and Quentin Tarantino would be without the influence of Lynch’s hard to imagine.
Director and artist David Lynch
David Lynch has brought about path-breaking in many areas. His cinema debut “Eraserhead” from 1977, the midnight cinema: films outside the major Studios, produced, invented, to the best of the Horror Genre faces that worked at a student audience, also in Germany.
“The elephant man” from 1980 is still one of the best American films from those years – humanistic, aesthetic, exciting, Anthony Hopkins is terrific played. With films like “Blue Velvet” (1986) and “Wild at Heart” (1990) he found then to a unique mix of styles – also for a larger audience: the view behind bourgeois facades, where the everyday horror and the presence of madness was going on, was the hallmark of David Lynch.
Another exploit: His TV series “Twin Peaks” of 1990/91 pointed to the years prior to the series Hype of our days-even on the small matte art and entertainment can be found. The honorary Oscar for Lynch comes to law, even if late: The big European Festivals in Cannes and Venice have considered the Americans long ago with the highest prices.
Wes Studi
As the first American actor with indigenous roots, Wes Studi gets an honorary Oscar. The Oscar Academy has been trying for some time to have more diversity in their awards. However, the 1947 in Oklahoma born Wes Studi is undoubtedly a great actor, caught in 1990, a worldwide sensation when he was on the side of Kevin Costner in the Late-Western “to see dances with wolves”.
Actors from the tribe of the Cherokee: Wes Studi
In an Indian reservation, who grew up to study, belongs to the people of the Cherokee, played with and then in numerous Hollywood movies. Including some Western, and others, but also Crime and fantasy films. Among the most famous appearances of Wes Studi roles in “The Doors” by Oliver Stone (1991), in Michael Mann’s “last of The Mohicans” (1992) and “Heat (1995).
