Many people have a hard time separating movies from the real world and some people assume the character is that person in real life Denzel Washington is the first African American male to win an Academy Award for the Best Male Actor category.

Scott was regarded as one of the best to his peers, thanks to classics like Alien (1979) and Blade Runner (1982). However, he did suffer harsh criticism, particularly with Thelma and Louise (1991), 1492: The Conquest of Paradise (1992), and White Squall (1996). Most directors would have wilted under the crushing failure, but Scott’s imperviousness to failure and drive to soldier on led him to achieve enormous success, starting with his Oscar-winning historical epic, Gladiator (2006), and American Gangster (2007), which earned the director his third Academy Award nomination for Best Director.

In 1999, Tom Hanks was arguably as big as any movie star had ever been. He was coming off of Oscar-wins for Philadelphia and Forrest Gump, plus Apollo 13 (nominated for nine Oscars) and Saving Private Ryan (nominated again for Best Actor).

Peter Pham Mr. Daniel English AS 4 5 March 2009 Thou art not tragic if thou art not responsible According to the world, Richard Nixon is considered an ambitious phony. To be frank, that is quite true, for Nixon did after all cheated his way into re-election.

These once honorable leaders were soon corrupted by the fatal flaw of ambition, and thus, fell quickly into a downward spiral due to errors on their own part.
He used his own money and fundraisers to give back to a better cause and that was to save lives and make the community around him a better place.
