Ridley Scott made a triumphant return to the top of the box office and added to his lengthy list of historical epics with Gladiator II, but where it ranks among the best movies from his decades-long career is a point of debate. The historical inaccuracies in Gladiator IIdid little to discourage moviegoers from seeing the long-awaited sequel in theaters, with the movie becoming a blockbuster hit in the fall of 2024 and finding more popularity on streaming. However, it faces harsh competition to be considered among Scott's best movies. 4f4k5p

The 2017 biopic All the Money in the World shone a light on one of the most infamous abduction cases in history, and what happened to John Paul Getty III is worth taking a look at. The movie focuses on J. Paul Getty, one of the richest men in America, and how the abduction of his grandson, John Paul Getty III, opened his family to scrutiny from the media. The grandson suffered physical and emotional trauma while his family argued about paying the heavy ransom.

One of the most famous filmmakers of the modern era, Ridley Scott has directed a huge number of beloved and fascinating movies across his prolific career. Often compared to legendary names like Steven Spielberg and Martin Scorsese, Scott has produced a wide variety of well-accomplished stories over the decades that have no shortage of ionate and devout fans.

The nominations for the 90th Academy Awards have just been announced, and by extension, so have the snubs been revealed. Though the Oscars have long been considered to be out of touch with the times, the newer stack of voters is righting wrongs in the Academy's nearly century-old reputation. After #OscarsSoWhite and #MeToo, the Academy appears to be doing its best to stay relevant, and it shows with this year's slate.That said, though, no matter how satisfying it might have been to see Greta Gerwig and Jordan Peele snag nominations for Best Director and Loganget a nod for Adapted Screenplay, the lack of certain films can not go unnoticed. Despite their place amid awards season prior to the Oscars, as well as massive expectations, these films, filmmakers, and actors will be completely absent from the ceremony on March 4.Related: Oscar Bait May Finally Be DeadIn the past, the Oscars have proven to fall short on of their snubs. Martin Scorsese was robbed of a directing nomination for Taxi Driver, Dennis Hopper was ignored for his performance in Blue Velvet, and just last year Annette Bening got the shaft in 20th Century Women. So, will this year go down as one of the more neglectful Academy Awards? Take a look at these snubs and decide for yourself.

All the Money in the World star Michelle Williams and Saturday Night Live delivered different responses Saturday to Mark Wahlberg's donation of his reshoot salary from the film following a controversy earlier in the week. Outcry arose over a USA Today report that found a huge pay discrepancy between Williams and Wahlberg while reshooting scenes for director Ridley Scott's true-life drama All the Money in the World. Following allegations of sexual assault against Kevin Spacey – who originally played oil tycoon J. Paul Getty – Scott proceeded with the unprecedented move of cutting Spacey's performance from the film and replacing him with Oscar-winner Christopher Plummer.

All the Money in the World actor Mark Wahlberg and his agency have donated $2 million to the #TimesUp legal fund in Michelle Williams' name. The move comes after news of a massive pay discrepancy between Wahlberg and Williams during the film's much publicized reshoots. Both actors agreed to return for reshoots after director Ridley Scott replaced Kevin Spacey with Christopher Plummer. Spacey was cut from the film just weeks before release in the wake of sexual assault allegations.

Mark Wahlberg reportedly wouldn't sign off on recasting Christopher Plummer in All The Money In The World until he got a bigger payment. Director Ridley Scott made quite a splash when he made the unprecedented decision to replace Kevin Spacey with Plummer in the film, some two months before it was schedule to open in theaters. Fans and Hollywood players alike respected Scott's decision to remove Spacey from the film, after news of sexual assault allegations against the actor broke.

Michelle Williams reportedly made less than 1 percent of what her co-star Mark Wahlberg did for reshoots for director Ridley Scott's kidnapping drama All the Money in the World. Without question, All the Money in the World is one of the most remarkable films of 2017, not in of its box office, but because of how Scott pulled off the seemingly impossible by slicing apart his completed film weeks before its release, reshooting key scenes and releasing the film before year's end, just in time for awards season consideration.

With the Oscar nominations set to be announced on January 23rd, Best Picture nominee predictions are in full swing. The 2018 Academy Awards have been the subject of much discussion within Hollywood and the critical community alike. Much speculation has swirled around how the ceremony, to be presented by Jimmy Kimmel, will take on the aftermath of the Harvey Weinstein scandal and the countless revelations of sexual harassment and assault within the industry. With the heavy hitters of the season lacking in of diversity, many have worried the year will be a repeat of #OscarsSoWhite.There's also the fascinating reality that this season's awards offerings have been more varied, stranger and less formulaic than ever. Among the most popular contenders are sci-fi romances, genre-busting war epics, black comedies of historical events, touching LGBT dramas, and biopics of some of Hollywood's stranger figures. For the first time in many years, the Oscars have become truly difficult to predict.Related: Hollywood's Sexual Assault Scandals Create an Oscars DilemmaOscar season is usually an inevitable narrative of a handful of winners that everyone knows will win, but we still have to go through the motions of being surprised by it all. That makes the entire campaign a tad boring to watch. Fortunately, that process got a much needed shake-up last year when the flub that was seen around the world revealed the 2017 Best Picture winner as Moonlight. For months, many had been saying that Moonlight was the best film of the year, but that it would never actually beat La La Land - the perfect Oscar-bait movie, set in Hollywood and full of nostalgia and dreams. And then Moonlight actually won.This season, the critics' awards have been all across the board in essentially every major category. There are few certain front-runners, and the major films in contention have all received recognition in some shape or form. There's no single juggernaut in the race snatching up every title. There's still time for one big movie to pick up that mantle with the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards on the horizon, there's certainly a way for that momentum to build but for now, the race really could be anyone's.The Best Picture category can include up to ten nominees. Due to the preferential voting system for nominations, where films must earn either 5% of first-place rankings to make the list, it's been a few years since all ten slots were filled. It seems more likely this year than ever for the category to fill up. There's a lot of ion for the big films of the year, so anything could happen. We've compiled our ten choices for what we feel are most likely to be nominated for Best Picture. Nothing is set in stone, and for once, not being able to predict the winners is genuinely exciting.This Page: All the Money in the World, Call Me By Your Name, Dunkirk, Get Out and I, Tonya

In 2017, Ridley Scott pulled off the seemingly impossible - he reshot all of Kevin Spacey's scenes a J. Paul Getty in All The Money in the World with Christopher Plummer less than a month before the film's release. Here's how he pulled off this award-nominated trick.
