The only (current) 23 year-old in the world who is also an Oscar-nominated actor if not this year
Can you believe we're less than a month from Hollywood's High Holy Night? Since today's magic number is 23, we're sharing a gallery of beauties related to that number starting with Timothée Chalamet. Now, he didn't make this year's Oscar list despite precursor attention for Beautiful Boy but he is still the only current 23 year-old who can claim the title "Oscar-Nominated Actor". Please enjoy this photo gallery of other number 23 related beauties after the jump...
Glynis Johns, the greatest still-living actor who was born in '23. She turns 96 this year. Where is her Honorary Oscar? We think The Sundowners (Oscar nomination), Mary Poppins (iconic role), While You Were Sleeping and The Ref (late career Oscar-nom worthy hilarity) and her early gorgeous/funny star turns (The Court Jester, Mad About Men, Miranda) warrant it.
Screencaps from the 23rd minute of Black Panther featuring those awesome Ruth E Carter costumes, the historic Production Design (first black woman ever nominated in the category), and Chadwick Boseman's royal nipples.
Two of the most popular films released in '23. Love those old posters. Look at that CRAZY green lighting on the stone tablets for the Cecil B DeMille silent epic (which he'd remake for the thrilling 7 time Oscar nominated technicolor classic in 1956). Also dig that "It's a Universal" at the bottom of the Hunchback poster. Just about the only studio people might use as that kind of descriptor today is "Pixar"
The six 23 year-old actors besides Timothée Chalamet that we're most excited about currently (pictured from left to right but in no particular order): Quinn Shephard (Blame, The Miseducation of Cameron Post), Shameik Moore (Into the Spider-Verse, Dope), Haley Lu Richardson (Split, Support the Girls), Luke Benward (Dumplin', Life of the Party), Sasha Lane (American Honey, The Miseducation of Cameron Post), and Israel's Shira Haas (Princess, The Zookeeper's Wife).
A few stills showcasing the genius of 23-time Oscar-nominated art director Hal Pereira. His classics include but our not limited to Vertigo, Hud, Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Ten Commandments, Roman Holiday, The Nutty Professor, Gunfight at the OK Corral, and many more. Our much-missed series "The Furniture" by Daniel Walber wrote about his work twice: Come Blow Your Horn (1963) and The Oscar (1966).
Nicole Kidman's 23rd movie. Can you name it? Better yet, have you seen it?
