Oscars: Antonio Banderas and Scarlett Johansson Among First-Time Nominees

Want to attend the 2020 Oscars? According to Antonio Banderas, it's going to cost you a pretty penny.

MADRID — Spain’s two most recognizable cinematic faces, Antonio Banderas and Penélope Cruz, will co-star in a new film from Madrid’s The Mediapro Studio, titled “Competencia Oficial” (Official Competition), directed by Argentine filmmakers Mariano Cohn and Gastón Duprat (“The Distinguished Citizen,” “The Man Next Door”).

Beauty runs deep within the family for Stella del Carmen Banderas. The only daughter of Spanish actor Antonio Banderas and American acting royalty Melanie Griffith, Stella is a beauty of her own, but we can’t help but to think of how much she looks like her famous grandmother (who is an actress, animal rights activist, and former fashion model) Tippi Hedren (aka Melanie’s momma). Although Tippi is blonde, Stella and her share the same slender and fit frame with delicate facial features.
