Sean Penn Getting Honorary French Oscar Equlvalent
Sean Penn will be receiving this year's Honorary Cesar Award in France, reports Variety. The Cesar Academie is the French equivalent to the Oscars. In a statement, the Cesar Academie said of their honoree: "A mythical actor, an activist and an exceptional director, Sean Penn is a unique icon of American cinema. A living legend." Past winners of the honorary award include Meryl Streep, Clint Eastwood, and Dustin Hoffman.
It's hard to think of SP in the same category as Streep and Eastwood. C'est la vie.
ReplyDeleteSean Penn is a great actor.Do we need our film stars to also be good human beings?
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry but there is NO French Oscar Equivalent.
ReplyDeleteReally TRose? Why don't you think these are the equivalent? Just curious. I always thought of them that way but would am curious to know why you don't feel that way.
DeleteSherry - In the movie business there is only one Hollywood. Sorry but the French Movie industry doesn't match up. BAFTA is the closest but still well below hollywood. I'm not talking about quality of actors ect but in size of industry$$.
DeleteActually I think Bollywoood may spend more on film than we do if I correctly recall..It's pretty darn close!
DeleteSherry - Bollywood is prolific at film making (over 1000 movies produced a year vs about 500 for hollywood). However, Hollywood's revenues dwarf that of Bollywood - $51 bill to $3 billion.
DeleteThanks for the stats, Rose.
DeleteHa ha ha! Bless your little heart France.
ReplyDeleteYou should have invited me to attend. I would be more than happy to flash the one fingered international symbol of goodwill to him. On camera, even!
Tickle, I guess not. Yet, is it too much to ask? This guy is at the very least a notorious wife beater.
He is a good actor. No where in their nomination statement do they say he's a good human being although I guess that Haiti involvement may count for something,
ReplyDeleteDid Dior buy that for him oh just kidding.
ReplyDeleteBut what about Olivier Martinez? Some pap will pay for this...
ReplyDeleteAlert the medics!
DeleteHe is a very good actor. See a movie called "At Close Range". Awesome. What dulls the shine tho is that this is the country that worships jerry lewis. Lol
