Look for the stars to light up Oscar night in this year’s red carpet “it” color.

2010

ho needs a golden statue when you can say you won Oscar’s red carpet? RACHEL MCADAMS The right dress can dazzle fans and Blue fashion critics—turning any actress into a fashionista—and it all starts with the perfect color. Color trends during awards season don’t happen by chance. The hues you see on the stars are inspired by colors spotted on the runways in Paris and Milan the year before, says celebrity stylist Elizabeth Stewart. Champagne reigned supreme in 2014, ladies shined in metallics in 2013, coral was a craze in 2012, Hollywood saw red in 2011 and the stars were feeling blue in 2010. So which color will you be seeing most on Oscar night? White. “Throw out the idea that it can’t be worn after Labor Day. Winter white is here to stay!” says Stewart, whose clients include Viola Davis, Cate Blanchett and Julia Roberts. Davis already rocked this trend at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last month, dazzling in an optic-white Max Mara gown. “We’ll also see ﬂorals, inspired by the Paris couture shows,” adds Stewart. “The fashion world is exploring lots of prints and bold color combinations. These trends will eventually make it to the red carpet on the more daring actresses.” In the meantime, this year’s “it” color will be making its mark—from the runways to the red carpet to your own closet. So don’t be afraid to trade in your little black dress for a chic white outﬁt. You’ll be in good company.

As the 2014 movie awards season comes down to the wire with tonight’s Oscars, gripping, true-life dramas compete for trophies and attention. Why we love it when Hollywood gets ‘real.’ By Neil Pond

n our era of the modern-day multiplex, “the movies” are pretty much a something-foreveryone smorgasbord, and ﬁlms about real people, real events and real places are a Hollywood staple. But around this time of year—awards season—those big, meaty dramas noticeably move to the top of the menu. In fact, as Hollywood heads down to the wire for a starstudded, blowout ﬁnish with the 87th annual Academy Awards tonight on ABC, several “reallife” dramas are serious contenders for the evening’s top prizes. “It’s always been that way with 6 | FEBRUARY 22, 2015

the Oscars,” says Robert Osborne, the Turner Classic Movies TV network host and noted film historian whose books include 85 Years of the Oscar: The Official History of the Academy Awards (Abbeville Press, 2013). “Many of the people and films that have won have been based on real life.” He’s talking, of course, of such Best Picture award-winning movies as All the King’s Men, Patton, Gandhi, Amadeus, The King’s Speech and Argo. Tonight, nominees for Best Picture include American Sniper, based on the bestselling autobiography of U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle; KYLE BY CHRIS HASTON/NBC/GETTY IMAGES; DUPONT BY TOM MIHALEK/ AFP/GETTY IMAGES; STRAYED BY REG REGALADO/CHICAGO TRIBUNE/LANDOV

The Imitation Game, the story of British mathematician and WWII code breaker Alan Turing; The Theory of Everything, about astrophysicist Stephen Hawking and his debilitating affliction with ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease); and Selma, which focuses on three flashpoint months in the life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. And several actors and actresses are nominated for performances in these and other films based on real people, including Bradley Cooper (American Sniper); Reese Witherspoon and

Arts at the University of Southern California, says we love movies about real people—especially when they achieve, make or become something—because they remind us that we might be able to do that, too. “Think of Alan Turing, who is the father of modern computing—the fact that he was gay in a time when that was punishable by jail,” Rodman says. “Certainly Dr. King, who by intelligence, rhetoric and moral compass was able to change race relations in the United States… Stephen Hawking was dealing with such a debilitating illness but nonetheless came up with theories that

and hard work and vision, somebody not unlike us can become extraordinary.” But, Rodman notes, Hollywood moviemakers cautiously keep one eye on awards and accolades and another on the bank—and usually not in that order. “Ten months a year, Hollywood seems to make movies about costumed superheroes; for two months, they make movies about great men,” he says. “There are ﬁlms that are designed to generate great amounts of

change the way we look at the universe. “The movies about these people celebrate the very best in us,” he says. “Particularly in America in a time where upward mobility is far more restricted than it’s ever been in our history, they reinforce the sense that those kind of extraordinary life arcs are still possible. Many of them are less about ‘Look at these people who were born genetically gifted and have had to do nothing but utilize these gifts,’ than about ‘Look at this person who began as you or I began, and who overcame adversity in order to do extraordinary things.’ They’re about how, through will

money, and then there are films designed to have prestige, remind us that ‘movies matter’ and get awards.” Sometimes, a film does both: It hauls in a wagonload of cash and attracts the attention of the Hollywood insiders who vote on the Oscars, the Golden Globes, the Critics Choice and the Screen Actors Guild awards. This year, American Sniper was that movie, setting an all-time record for January box office attendance and nabbing six Oscar nominations, including Best Picture. “It’s the one [Oscar nominee] blockbuster,”

Osborne says. “One of the interesting things about movies this year up for Oscars is that none has been a raging hit— except for American Sniper.” The fact that the film’s director, Clint Eastwood, is 84 makes it all the more interesting, Osborne says. “Usually by the time a director is 60 or 65, they’re out to pasture; they’re not thought to be relevant enough to make a movie that anybody wants to see. I think Clint Eastwood is incredible for having made a movie that blows everything [else] out of the water.” The prolific Eastwood directed another movie last year, Jersey Boys, based on the life and singing career of pop star Frankie Valli. It joined a long list of other 2014 movies—including Million Dollar Arm, When the Game Stands Tall, Get On Up, Big Eyes, The Good Lie, Rosewater, The Railway Man and Heaven is for Real—about reallife athletes, artists, journalists, musicians, warriors, kings, crusaders, dreamers and doers, some historically famous, some relatively obscure.

Growth Hormone: Why We Canʼt Stop Talking About This “Anti‑Aging” Breakthrough!

‘‘

There’s no denying that something that has a chance of reducing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, boosting mood, giving you plenty of energy while it gets rid of wrinkles and tightens saggy skin... making you look and feel decades, not years but DECADES younger... is, at the very least, irresistible!

GROWTH HORMONE DECLINE 2000

There are always several layers of creative license in any movie, says Osborne, who worked briefly as an actor before beginning his career as a columnist at The Hollywood Reporter. “Hollywood makes movies based on real life, but they don’t always tell the real story. Movies have always changed the facts around.” Rodman agrees: “You are not watching Chris Kyle. You are not watching Stephen Hawking. You are not watching Martin Luther King,” he says. “You’re watching characters, as seen through the lenses of the

the history books, and “basedon-a-true-story” filmmakers are blasted for veering too far off base from the truth to juice up the story. This year, some historians disagreed with the way Selma director Ava Duvernay depicted President Lyndon Johnson and his relationship with Dr. King. Several critics pointed out how American Sniper strayed from the book on which it was based. Even though Stephen Hawking blessed The Theory of Everything as “broadly true,” several brushstrokes of dramatic enhancement gave additional color to his life story.

what it’s all about

Growth hormone is a single chain peptide hormone that’s manufactured deep within the brain... in the pituitary gland. It’s released into the bloodstream and travels throughout the body. It passes into your fat cells and can actually cause them to shrink. It enters your muscle cells, stimulating lean muscle growth so you look more tight and toned, even if you haven’t been working out. When it reaches the skin it maintains healthy blood fow, ramps up collagen production and strengthens the underlying substructure of the skin’s critical architecture, keeping your skin frm, tight and smooth, which is why so many people call hGH the “youth” hormone... and why some experts believe it’s the key to combatting aging.

how SeroVital works

First of, let’s be clear: SeroVital-hgh DOES NOT contain human growth hormone (hGH). It doesn’t work like hGH injections, which introduce a synthetic form of growth hormone into the body, and which some experts fear may upset the natural production of hGH. Instead, SeroVital works on an entirely diferent principle. It increases hGH naturally in the body by nourishing the pituitary — the gland that manufactures growth hormone — which encourages it to produce hGH at more youthful levels. In fact, in a study of both men and women across a wide age range, SeroVital was clinically shown to increase mean, bioactive, serum (blood) hGH levels by 682%. Te SeroVital formula is so unique it’s been granted not one, but seven United States Patents to protect it from imitators.*

the cost factor

At $99 for a 30-day supply, SeroVital isn’t exactly cheap. But when you consider that growth hormone injections can run as high as $1500 a month, $99 doesn’t seem too bad. And frankly, anything that may have the possibility of reducing wrinkles, tightening saggy skin, decreasing body fat, increasing lean muscle mass, and boosting mood, while giving you plenty of energy and improving sex drive is, at the very least, irresistible.

writers and filmmakers who decided to embody them.” Director Tim Burton’s Big Eyes was based on the story of painter Margaret Keane and her husband Walter, who for more than a decade passed himself off as the creator of her kitschy pop art. At a press event to promote the film, actor Christoph Waltz—who portrayed Walter—playfully threw a question about the accuracy of the movie back at the questioner. “What’s this obsession with true stories?” he asked. “Our work is not the work of biographers or scientists. I’m an actor and Tim’s an artist— that’s a reality.” Whether true, twisted or just tweaked, there’s still nothing like the movies. “A great movie inspires you or thrills you or adds to your life in a way that you want to see it again,” Osborne says. “Movies have this great mythic power,” Rodman adds. “We’re in a room collectively with a bunch of other people, the lights go down, we see a story, and when we stumble back into daylight, even if we don’t realize it, even if we don’t know it, we’ve been moved— and something has seeped into the way we see the world.” 10 | February 22, 2015

Bernice King (far left) remembers special Sunday meals with father Martin Luther King Jr.

taken from a little white book that had, on its cover, a red heart inscribed with “Let not your heart be troubled.” We also sang a prayer together. We would go to our family’s church, Ebenezer Baptist Church. After church, my whole family, including my dad’s sister and brother and their families and my grandparents, would often go to dinner at either Piccadilly or Morrison’s. I don’t have a lot of memories of Sundays with my father because I was only five when he was assassinated. However, I do know that whenever he was home, we loved it, because he played games with us and it was our special time with him. What are your Sundays like today? My Sundays are still about faith and family. Although I am not currently a member of a church, I do visit houses of worship. I sometimes stream a worship service online. During this phase of my life, as CEO of the King Center, I also use my Sundays to rest, relax and prepare for the next phase of my life, which will include launching my own ministry. What did you think of the movie Selma? It’s an incredible film that brought the Selma story to life. It powerfully conveyed the price that so many people paid, as well as the strategy, struggle and sacrifice that led to the approval of the Voting Rights Act. However, because it is a Hollywood film and not a documentary, one does not expect all the facts to be correct. I think the actors both did great jobs portraying my parents. I wish we could have witnessed more of the loving relationship my parents shared. Furthermore, it would have been great to see the true strength and courage of my mother, as well as the support she provided my father. continued on page 14 12 | FEBRUARY 22, 2015

“Sundays are still about family and faith,” says Bernice King.

What do you think the movie helped people understand about the civil rights struggle? I believe most people think that the civil rights movement was merely about protests and demonstrations. Hopefully, as a result of the movie, people will now recognize the level of planning and strategy that was an integral part of the movement. Also, it is my hope that the film will inspire people—especially the new activists that have emerged as a result of the recent incidents in our nation—to learn more about other campaigns, such as the Montgomery bus protest, and why they were so successful. Word is you have an impressive shoe collection. I love shoes and I think, deep in their souls, many women have secret love affairs with shoes. Shoes are the ultimate accessory and I think they allow a woman to make a true fashion statement about who she is and what sets her apart from other women. What kind of shoes do you wear and what do they say about you? I wear the kinds of shoes that help me get the job done. —Beverly Keel 14 | FEBRUARY 22, 2015

Ask Marilyn

You’re only as young as your neck.

By Marilyn vos Savant

I’ve been following the changing “odds” of various nominees winning an Academy Award. What is it that makes us want to calculate the mathematical ratios of winning or losing in any competition? —Anthony Corapi, Atlanta, Ga. Americans love contests! But we want to watch them while they’re ongoing, so those changing odds take the place of scores in other kinds of competitions (think football, tennis, etc.—even polls for upcoming elections) and turn the whole mysterious process into a kind of game, with the winner announced at the end, maybe in a surprise come-from-behind victory. And then, ahem, there’s always the fun of creating an opportunity for a little betting among friends, right? ®
