Today in Labor History April 21, 1915: Anthony Quinn was born. Quinn was a Mexican-American actor, painter, writer, and film director. He played the titular role in Zorba the Greek and was nominated for the Academy Award for best actor. And he did win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor twice: for “Viva Zapata!” (1952) and “Lust for Life” (1956). As a child, Quinn experienced considerable racism growing up in Los Angeles. He later participated in several civil rights and social causes. He supported the Spanish-Speaking People's Congress. He also helped raise funds for the legal defense of Mexican American youth in the racially charged Sleepy Lagoon murder trial in 1942. He also supported the 1963 March on Washington and visited Native American activists occupying Alcatraz Island.

My friends just won the Oscar for Best Documentary! This is an excerpt from co-director Basel Adra's acceptance speech:

"About two months ago, I became a father, and my hope to my daughter is that she will not have to live the same life I am living now, always fearing violence, home demolitions, forced displacement that my community, Masafer Yatta, is facing every day."

Adrien Brody wins his second best actor Oscar for "The Brutalist," 22 years after he won for "The Pianist." Here's his conversation with @Variety about the movie, and how he isn't a typical leading man. “I’ve had to prove that the leading man can be unusual and unique and not typically handsome,” he explains. “But oftentimes, somewhat nondescript-looking choices are easier. Safer.”

Why didn't Michelle Trachtenberg make it into the In Memoriam section? @vanityfair's Anthony Breznican explains it thus:

"There's always an outcry over the In Memoriam segment at the Oscars. Fans always find someone who was left out, and this year the outcry is over Michelle Trachtenberg, star of Harriet the Spy (1996), Ice Princess (2005) and EuroTrip (2004), among other films.

"The producers of the Oscar telecast don't compile the list of people who are recognized. That job is done by a committee, in part to spare the producers from being lobbied by the representatives, families and fans of Hollywood figures who have passed.

"The In Memoriam portion of the show also typically has a cut-off that's roughly a month before the awards ceremony. Exceptions tend to be made when a major star, like Gene Hackman, dies in the interim.

"This committee will likely consider Trachtenberg for next year, although anyone's inclusion is never guaranteed."
