Clint Eastwood is a legend when it comes to Hollywood movies but many are wondering why he has won several directorial awards even from the Oscar’s but hasn’t won even one such award for best actor? This may all change though if he gets the nod of the Oscar’s jurors this year for his recent film Gran Torino where he plays a grouchy widower. Gran Torino has yet to be released but talks are rife that this is going to be Eastwood’s unforgettable movie to beat.
Eastwood got the nod of the National Board of Review after they named him top actor for his role in Gran Torino. The Board, which consists of movie experts and buffs as well as film historians, announced their selection for this year last Thursday and the event kicked off Hollywood’s awards season.
Eastwood has won the Oscar Best Achievement in Directing Award for “Million Dollar baby” in 2004 and was nominated
for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in the same movie. He was nominated for the Oscar Best Director Award for “Mystic River” in 2003. He was nominated for Oscar Best Actor for the movie “Unforgiven” in 1992 and won the Oscar Best Director Award for the same movie. His fans are hoping that Gran Torino will make an Oscar best actor out of him this time!
The Board also named Anne Hathaway as best actress for her role in “Rachel Getting Married”, John Brolin as best supporting actor for his role in “Milk” and Penelope Cruz as best supporting actress for her role in “Victoria Cristina Barcelona”. Wall-E was named best animated feature.
