“The Godfather” is regarded as a Hollywood classic, one of the highest grossing films of all time.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Joseph Fiennes expressed regret to The Observer over his decision to play Michael Jackson in a pulled 2017 episode of Sky Arts’ anthology series “Urban Myths.” The episode centered on Jackson taking a post-9/11 road trip with Marlon Brando (Brian Cox) and Elizabeth Taylor (Stockard Channing).

Absolutely. And I’m one part of that — there are producers, broadcasters, writers, directors, all involved in these decisions. But obviously if I’m upfront, I have become the voice for other people. I would love them to be around the table as well to talk about it. But you know, it came at a time where there was a movement and a shift and that was good, and it was, you know, a bad call.

The modern method approach to acting is generally credited with being popularised by Marlon Brando who requested to have a bucket of ice water thrown over him during his first Broadway play to make him look like he had actually been thrown in an icy lake.

For nearly a century, the Academy Awards of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has provided the highest levels of achievement to professionals working in the entertainment industry.  Every year, the Academy hosts an awards ceremony watched by millions of Americans to honor the best films and actors/actresses. More than 9,000 industry experts in Hollywood are members of the organization and help to select the nominees for the various categories.  Some of the biggest names in Hollywood have received Oscars throughout their career, including Marlon Brando, Leonardo DiCaprio and Meryl Streep.  Who has won the most Oscars in the history of the Academy Awards? Aside from acting, the Academy Awards offer a wide variety of high-profile awards for other professions within the film and entertainment industry.The individual who has won the most awards in the history of the organization was Disney founder and animation pioneer Walt Disney.Through a career that expanded across decades, Disney won 26 Oscars and received 59 nominations.  The period Disney received his Academy accolades occurred between 1932 and 1969 in the Best Animated Short category for "Three Little Pigs," "The Ugly Duckling," "Winnie the Pooh" and "The Blustery Day." Disney continued receiving awards from the Academy after his death in 1967 and is widely regarded today as a media and entertainment innovator.  By the time of his death, Disney had turned his company into the biggest animation studio in the United States and founded the Disneyland theme park to entertain millions.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s ties with Malaysian financier turned fugitive, Jho Low, have been detailed in new FBI documents.According to a report on Bloomberg, DiCaprio was interviewed as a potential witness by the FBI in 2018 about his relationship with Low, who is accused of embezzling $4.5billion from Malaysia’s sovereign wealth fund, 1Malaysia Development Berhard (1MDB).DiCaprio is said to have first met Low at a New York nightclub in 2010 and went on to establish a close relationship.Low is said to have showered the actor with gifts – including a first edition of The Great Gatsby and Marlon Brando’s Oscar for On The Waterfront – and helped finance 2013 film The Wolf Of Wall Street, directed by Martin Scorsese and starring DiCaprio.“I was working for him… and that business also translates into being social,” DiCaprio told a grand jury, according to the report. “And so we saw each other more, and there was more interaction.”According to the FBI documents, Low called DiCaprio “L-Dogg”.

Will Smith notwithstanding — Sacheen Littlefeather is virtually assured a spot in the In Memoriam segment when the show airs Sunday, March 12, on ABC.But her family would rather the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences just forgot about the late actress.Publicly recognizing her will continue the “biggest blunder in the history of the Oscars,” Littlefeather’s sister Rosalind Cruz told The Post Monday.“They will [include her] because they need to keep covering up for themselves,” Cruz, 65 said of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. “They’re endorsing a Pretendian and keep pushing the lie and slander of our family and they don’t care.”Littlefeather, who died of breast cancer at 75 in October, established herself in Oscars lore in 1973 when she declined Marlon Brando’s Best Actor Oscar on his behalf.

When Kerry Condon heard her Oscar nomination announced in the early hours of the morning in LA, she was clustered around the television with a group that included her Banshees of Inisherin co-star Colin Farrell. “I remember thinking, ‘Oh Jesus, hang on though. What if it’s bad for one of us?’” Condon says. Fortunately, neither actor was left out in the cold. Making Banshees was a chance for the actress to reunite with writer-director Martin McDonagh, in whose plays and the film Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri she had already starred. The Banshees character of Siobhán lets Condon show us her chops — from a scene in which she gently lets down the amorous but tortured young Dominic (Barry Keoghan), to telling Brendan Gleeson’s bull-headed Colm (and men in general), “You’re all feckin’ boring!” Here, Condon reflects on her career thus far and some of her onscreen favorites.

Nick Vivarelli International Correspondent Prior to becoming an actor, Giancarlo Giannini, who on March 6 will be getting a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, studied electronic engineering, a skill he’s been known to put to good use even on movie sets. “I was meant to start working on the first artificial satellites, or on the first computers at IBM,” the Italian film and theater thesp recalls.
