From the LA Times: “Christopher Plummer has already won numerous awards for his turn as a widower who comes out of the closet in ‘Beginners,’ while Max Von Sydow has earned kudos as an elderly man who doesn’t speak in ‘Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close.’ If either wins, he will become the oldest performer to garner an acting Oscar. Both are 82 years old, with Von Sydow, who turns 83 in April, eight months older than Plummer.” Click here to read the list of the ten oldest winners of an Academy Award in the Acting Category.
EngAGE has a connection to the film “Beginners” – the Director is the brother of Katie Mills, who is our resident Humanist Consultant for the Talk Story Democracy project. Good Luck with the Academy Awards!
