To some actors, winning a statuette—almost any kind, as long as it’s gold and shiny—is of the utmost importance. Despite her numerous musical and business achievements, Rihanna has spoken about her desire to win an Academy Award, although not many others admit to their naked Oscar ambitions. On the other hand, Johnny Depp has said that he doesn’t ever want to win one. Marlon Brando took his disdain one step further by refusing to pick up his Academy Award for The Godfather , and instead sent actress Sacheen Littlefeather to protest the treatment of Native Americans in the film industry. So should actors care about their award ceremony success? If you’re a man, the answer’s yes— a study shows that male Academy Award winners’ salaries jumped 81 percent, while female winners “do not experience this same clear boost in their salaries.” A statuette doesn’t guarantee career invincibility either.

Full Metal Jack star and Golden Globe nominee R Lee Ermey dies aged 74
FULL Metal Jacket star R Lee Ermey has died aged 74, his longtime manager announced late on Sunday night. The Golden Globe nominee was best known for his role as sadistic Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Stanley Kubrick's hit 1987 movie. The character will go down in movie history for unleashing a string of x-rated insults on new army recruits in the Oscar-nominated movie. In a twitter statement, Bill Rogin said Ermey had died due to complications from pneumonia. "He will be greatly missed by all of us," Rogin wrote. "Semper Fi, Gunny. Godspeed."
