Sep 11, 2009–John Calley, veteran studio executive and producer, largely in charge of Kubrick’s films, among many others, will receive the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences (AMPAS) prestigious Thalberg Award.
Set mostly within the confines of one submarine, this fascinating, claustrophobic movie occupied the fifth place among 1982's most nominated pictures, receiving six citations, some in major categories (Direction, Screenplay). Moreover, few foreign-language films have received six Oscar nominations, such as Ingmar Bergman’s “Fanny and Alexander” in 1983.
