Randomly I was wondering what would happen if a CGI'd actor was nominated for an award?
It has happened. When Oliver Reed died during the making of Gladiator in 2000, $3 million was spent to recreate his face, a body double being used for the rest of him, or 3x his salary, for his scenes which were yet to be filmed.
After his death he, though he did not win, being nominated for his performance with a . . .
BAFTA Film award
and a SAG award with his fellow co-stars for . . .
Outstanding Performance by the Cast of a Theatrical Military Picture
AS for the library system or archives system, in the film, as a retired librarian with over 30 years experience, I think that was one of my favorite scenes, and while he have had some unhappy patrons from my last position. None of them, fortunately, were unhappy enough to kill you. Though, it has happened to others. Instead, what we normally got was people who came in to the library and almost left crying. Not because they were unhappy, but because they were so happy, as we were one of the few places that ever treated them with the respect all our patrons deserved.
As a film archivist in South Africa, how about you, Trevor?
