Oscar winner Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu's film "The Revenant" is among the early favorites for the 2016 Academy Awards, but will the Mexican director be up for a second consecutive Oscar?
This week two Oscar winners will be released on DVD hoping to obtain a bigger audience and obtain more buzz. Latin Post.com breaks down the hottest DVD releases of the week
One of the big stories to circulate after the announcement of the Oscar nominations was the lack of diversity. Most prominently, "Selma," a film about Martin Luther King, was shut out in all but two categories. There was no diversity in the acting categories either.
And yet, Latin Americans had solid representation at the 87th Academy Awards. One best picture nominee was helmed and shot by Mexicans and also had a few Argentine nominees as well. Another Argentine film was nominated for the best foreign language film.
So how did Latin Americans do at the big ceremony?
The Best Director category has become one of the most unpredictable categories this year as three directors could easily win the top prize. However, one director, Mexican filmmaker Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu, could walk away with the Oscar this year for his work on "Birdman," and here's why.
The Best Foreign Film category at the Academy Awards is always one of the most exciting categories because it is always unpredictable and sometimes the front-runners never win. Here's why Argentina's submission, "Wild Tales", may walk away with the Oscar this year.
Alejandro Gonzelez Inarritu's "Birdman" is not only the top contender to take home the Best Picture Oscar this Feb. 22, but it is officially the Mexican director's top grossing film of all time. After it took home a solid $1.3 million this weekend, the filmsurpassed 2006's "Babel" to take sole possession as his most profitable film domestically.
The Editing category is one of the most contested awards at the Academy Awards and it has become a norm that the Best Picture winner must be nominated in this category. This year all five nominees will compete for Best Pictures and it is presumed that one of these five will also take home Best Picture.
The Production Design category is one of the most interesting categories this year as three of the nominees are also nominated for Best Costume Design.
This Best Supporting Actor Award is one of the most predictable awards as one actor has swept all the precursor awards and will most likely secure his first Academy Award on Oscar Sunday.
