Oscar Alert
Nominated for six Oscars, “Fanny and Alexander” won four: Best Foreign-Language Picture, Cinematography (Sven Nykvist), Art Direction-set Decoration (Anna Asp), and Costume Design (Marik Vos).
Bergman was nominated for the directing and original screenwriting Oscars, but lost the former to James L. Brooks (“Terms of Endearment”) and the latter to Horton Foote (“Tender Mercies”).
Bergman's films include “Wild Strawberries” (1957), “The Seventh Seal” (1957), “Persona” (1966), “Cries and Whispers” (1972), “Scenes from a Marriage” (1973), and “Autumn Sonata” (1978). He recently wrote but didn't direct “Best Intentions”(1992), which won major awards at the Cannes Film Festival.
