In its 93 years the Academy Awards have seen some strange occurrences.
In 1973, Marlon Brando, who was announced as the winner of the Best Actor Award, sent an actress pretending to be a Native American up to the podium to refuse the award, citing the way Native American’s were portrayed in films.
The next year, David Niven was startled when freelance photographer Robert Opel decided to “streak” across the stage behind them. I always thought that this was a set-up. The camera angle was such that none of Mr. Opel’s nether-region was shown and Mr. Niven was awful quick and his quip: “The only laugh that man will ever get in his life is from stripping off and showing his shortcomings!”
For the first time ever, two female directors were vying for the Best Director prize. Chloe Zhao (for road movie
Nomadland) and Emerald Fennell (for rape revenge saga
Promising Young Woman) will compete with David Fincher (
Mank), Thomas Vinterberg (
Another Round) and Lee Isaac Chung (
Minari). Should either win, they’ll become only the second female director ever to take the prize, after Kathryn Bigelow won in 2010 for
The Hurt Locker.
More than anyone else, the focus will be on these newcomers. British filmmaker Fennell, famed for playing Camilla Parker Bowles in
The Crown, has three Oscar nominations in total (also Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay).
