Top Ten animals "deserved" Oscar

Leonardo DiCaprio is not the only 'forgotten' by the Academy. Although this may finally be the year that takes the Oscar, for now the actor is still part of a list in which there are several Hollywood stars, and not just two legs.

In the animal kingdom also found several examples of worthy interpretations of a statuette, but they did not get their recognition. Ignoring the words of Alfred Hitchcock on that of never shooting or with children or animals, the truth is that many classic film feature a four - legged hero as Babe, the brave piggy Toto Wizard of Oz, or the legendary Beethoven.

We then review the list of animals that could well have taken a statuette for his work in film:

1 Babe, the brave little pig

Started by the protagonist of Babe , the brave little pig is one of the characters who certainly should have won an Oscar for best interpretation. The film earned seven nominations for the awards, including best film, and the award for Best Visual Effects was in 1995.

2 Toto, the dog from "The Wizard of Oz"

The puppy appeared in The Wizard of Oz Oscar could have taken as the faithful companion of Dorothy in the 1939 movie.

3 Chee Chee, the chimpanzee "Doctor Doolittle"

In the original film Doctor Dolittle , 1967, he appeared Chee Chee the chimpanzee. This character, recalls Moviefone, became the best friend of the doctor and traveled with him around the world.

4 Bruce the shark

The central character of Jaws , the 1975 film Spielberg, Oscar should have been taken to make scream of terror to all swimmers who crossed his path.

5 Horse "Seabiscuit"

The real star of " Seabiscuit " was the horse able to perform amazing feats in racing during the Great Depression. This film by Gary Ross was nominated for best picture in 2004.

6 The orca "Free Willy"

One of the most recognizable scenes of youth cinema is the time when Willy gets jump on the dike that separates you from freedom. As one of the most emotional scenes that are remembered, this orca should have won the award.

7 Uggie, the dog from "The Artist"

Uggie, the dog from " The Artist " put an end to his acting career in 2012, shortly after participating in the filming of this tape Michel Hazanavicius. The surprising interpretive capabilities of this animal could also earned him an Oscar.

8 The San Bernardo of "Beethoven"

Within this list of animals that deserved to win the Academy Award Hollywood highlights the San Bernardo who appears in the film Beethoven. Sometimes it really seems to be able to understand the dialogue and follow the script.

9 Tai, "Operation Elephant '

A level of interpretation, Tai the elephant was not the best of the animals that had to be an Oscar. However, Tai is a four-ton elephant capable of film scenes with some coordination.

10 Cat 'way of Llewyn Davis'

Adorable cat that appears in the film by the Coen brothers Oscar also could have taken. It seems incredible that a cat has been able to endure a trip in arms in the subway in New York.


The legend Oscar Marisa Tomei was by mistake

No one has confirmed, nor disproved, and takes years circulating among film buffs as one of the great conspiracy theories in the history of the statuette

The chronicle of the Oscar ABC  , published on March 31, 1993, read: "The first surprise of the night gave Marisa Tomei , who took the statuette for best supporting actress for ' My Cousin Vinny ' front four strong British actresses. " The ceremony was held at the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion in Los Angeles and any betting pointed to the American interpreter of Italian descent as the winner, which certainly helped that one of the legends generated (never disproved, but not confirmed) Most commented on the history of the award: which ensures that the Oscar was for a mistake in reading the award from Jack Palance .

It is true that in La Tercera that day, José Luis Garci commented: "Dear Enrique Herreros, have seen that Marisa Tomei, besides you and me, many people voted." But the fact is that, before the ceremony, except the Spanish director and producer and contributor to ABC, did not look like someone gave a hard actress 29 years, especially if we consider that its competitors were nothing less than Judy Davis , nominated for "Husbands and Wives" Woody Allen, Joan Plowright , who had received the Golden Globe for his performance in "enchanted April"; Vanessa Redgrave , who added his sixth nomination to "Howards End" and Miranda Richardson , who came to "wound" Louis Malle's film.

Marisa Tomei had sneaked almost as an anecdote in the nominations. And not because his performance or -directed film by Jonathan Lynn and starring Joe Pesci - were bad, but because it was unusual that a relatively simple role in a light comedy barriera other dramatic roles played by actresses weight. So doubly strange that our hero out winner. There was no more to see the image of Gene Hackman , who gasped and petrified, as they picked up the cameras.

Jack Palance, the protagonist

The true origin of the legend was not, however, the actress, but in charge of delivering the Oscar, Jack Palance. The man icy stare and eternal villain had won last year's prize for best actor for " City Slickers ."

His former problems with alcohol did not help. The gossips claimed that Palance was drunk and was an act of bravado. Other versions argued that opened the envelope of the nominees and gave the first name. Some blame the alderman of the gala leisurely leave the monitor with the name Tomei, while others believe it was an act of patriotism, being the only American actress nominated in that category. But one of the most bizarre hypothesis is that the actor has had bet with some friends that would give the statuette to whoever wanted and not really chosen. The fact is that even she was expecting. It got so nervous I stumbled up on stage, stepping on her dress from Chanel.

Legend has it that the Academy did not dare to discredit a figure like Jack Palance and wrest Tomei Oscar for fear of ridicule. Criticism of the actor disfigured face for boxing and an air accident at the outbreak of the bomber that flew during World War II , did not wait. Literally he was crushed, even though the official version claimed that if Palance had been wrong, notaries located in the room would quickly come to correct the error.

The actor died on November 10, 2006, at age 87, taking the secret to the grave that Hollywood has never fully clarified. Legend pursued Marisa Tomei, who has again won the Oscar.

Top 10 histories from the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress

For many performers, winning an Oscar means the direct leap to stardom, a recognition that should mark a before and after in their lives. And while it is what happens in most cases, there is an urban legend that relates the statuette for best supporting actress with an eternal jinx. Known as the "Oscar Jinx", this curse has fallen on several performers who have seen their careers plummeted after winning the Oscar in that category.


10. Octavia Spencer for The Help (2011): Finally we Octavia Spencer, the last actress to join the list of performers for the secondary damned Oscar. After working in endless series like The X-Files, ER and CSI, among others, she won the statuette in 2012 for her poignant and playful performance in The Help. Despite the success of the film, Spencer tried to stay in the world of cinema with supporting roles in films like Fruitvale Station and Snowpiercer, but eventually had to return to his television roots.

9. Melissa Leo for The Fighter (2010): A Melissa Leo happens just like Marisa Tomei. A talented actress who does not enjoy the recognition it deserves. After more than thirty years in the industry, he won the Oscar for best supporting actress for her wonderful interpretation of suffering mother and calculator on The Fighter (2010). But the curse is also primed with it despite having participated in acclaimed productions such as Mildred Pierce or prisoners ... but always as secondary.

8. Anna Paquin for The Piano (1993): He was only 11 when she made her film debut winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for The Piano. And although his magnificent performance should have served to gain a foothold in the industry, the fact is that we did not hear about it until seven years later when he gave life to Rogue in X-Men. Over the years I continue to work in the shadow of other actors in supporting roles until HBO gave him a chance in television as the star of True Blood. And it is that even Bryan Singer eliminated its cameo in X-Men: Days of Future Past the final footage angering fans

7. Marisa Tomei for My Cousin Vinny (1992): Marisa Tomei is a clear example of a talented actress repressed. A performer who proved himself to be a novice in the world of cinema when he won the Oscar for My Cousin Vinny. But despite its success, this award remains of the most criticized in the history of the Oscars because many critics say did not deserve it (it was nominated with other great performances of Vanessa Redgrave, Judy Davis and Miranda Richardson). Unlike other actors who are opening the doors of success after winning an Oscar, Tomei was quickly relegated to supporting roles settling despite picking up two Oscar nominations.

Top 7 biggest scandals in the history of Playboy magazine

Is probably the most controversial Playboy magazine ever published. In fact, since Hugh Hefner founded in 1953 it has only accumulated one scandal after another.

But earlier this month the magazine took what is perhaps his most controversial decision so far, it aims to get rid of the naked and reinvent itself as a lifestyle magazine for men.

On February 12, the star of the networks Sarah McDaniel (bottom picture) became the first model on the cover of Playboy does not appear nude.

In fact, the original idea was not Hefner, the chief editor of the magazine. However, he agreed with the decision to change forever the style of Playboy.

Many wonder if the new style to take the magazine, leaving behind bare, will be the end of his years of controversy.

The controversial cover

Sara was very happy to be the first star that was not naked in Playboy, but has admitted he would have considered appearing naked if it was necessary. However, one of the biggest controversies of the cover is related to another star that would not even appear on the front page of the magazine.

Jessica Alba was asked the proposition. The actress was chosen for publication sexy star of the year in its edition of March 2006 (in the picture above). However, Alba did not like the idea of appearing on the cover of the magazine, so Playboy used a publicity photo from the film Into the Blue in which the actress appears in a bikini.

The actress did not like the surprise. He published a statement in which he revealed that Playboy "violated my personal rights" and "has blatantly misled the public" into thinking that she had consented to appear on the cover.

The actress was so angry that he filed a lawsuit against Playboy alleging that the publication had "seriously damaged" reputation. Hefner relaxed somewhat delicate situation donating money to two charities, Keep A Child Alive and Until There's A Cure .

In October 1971, Darine Stern, became the first African American woman on the cover of the magazine, which was considered controversial by some, even though it had been eight years since Martin Luther King Jr. offered his speech "I have a dream" which called for an end to racism in America.

A new controversy erupted in 2012 when the news that Bollywood star, Sherlyn Chopra, became the first Indian woman to appear on the cover of the magazine and would undress in their inside pages are known. The news was not well accepted in India, where the publication is prohibited due to strict national standards of decency issues.

Soon after, the feminist comics fans were up in arms because of the cover of the February 2008 in which she appeared Tiffany Fallon painted like Wonder Woman. Many thought that picture of heroin would damage its image in young women.

Interview with Jimmy Carter

Playboy has also been embroiled in controversies related to politics. In 1976, then-candidate for president of the United States, Jimmy Carter, granted an interview to the magazine by freelance journalist Robert Scheer. It confessed that he had "looked at many women with lust" and had "been unfaithful many times in my heart."

However, the honest review of Carter was not well received among American voters.
