This year, there will be many surprises for fans of movies around the world. Despite some complaints about black actors who usually get cast, when they do, as servants and slaves (as they did in the movies mentioned above, with the exception of Precious, in which most of the minority actors were ghetto characters). But the main issues with Hollywood and beyond not creating enough roles for minority performers and not looking beyond, creatively, to cast a role in an original script of, say a cop or a teacher with, instead of another middle aged white guy, with a woman or a person of color (or both). But now, I will prefer to talk about some successful Latin Directors and some actors that will be part of this ceremony. Director, Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu from Mexico, could win the Oscar for best director for the second year with “Birdman.” Argentina’s Foreign-Language nominee Wild Tales from Director-Writer Damián Szifrón and The Reaper (La Parka) is nominated for Documentary Short Subject. Directed by Gabriel Serra Arguello from Nicaragua, produced by the Centro de Capacitación Cinematográfica (CCC). Who is  going to win the valuable Oscar?

BAFTAS was shining than ever with many awards

By GalaTView staff

It’s always nice to see awards being spread across more than one film. Gravity is a fine film (stunning in 3D), and the obvious choice for technical awards and Gravity’s Alfonso Cuaron was named best director and Chiwetel Ejiofor won best actor for 12 Years a Slave won the coveted best film honour. British star Chiwetel Ejiofor collected the best actor Bafta for his role as Solomon Northup in 12 Years a Slave. Cate Blanchett was named best actress for Blue Jasmine.

BAFTAS over all are ok, but should be a little more humble in times of austerity and some people were seriously impressed since the last year with this important event.
