"Living on a Prayer"

Academy Awards and Cinema for Peace
Honor Mission of Conscientious Objector

Desmond Doss Jr. with Mel Gibson                       Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty with the wrong envelope

Los Angeles - Fake news at the Oscars? The satiric film character Borat would probably note: Just like at the US presidential election, the wrong winner was announced at the Academy Awars for Best Picture - by the former Cinema for Peace chair Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty. Trump noted that the participants had been dealing too much with politics to get it right.

The real winner, "Moonlight", is a beautiful small movie that was shot in three days and possibly reflects on the criticism of last year’s "White Oscars", putting diversity and social justice into the focus - similar to several other films with some of their real life heroes in attendance, as for example 98-year-old Katherine Johnson, who helped bring NASA to the moon, while not being allowed to use the same toilet as her colleagues and being forced to walk ten minutes to a toilet for colored people. Katherine Johnson took the stage in a wheelchair, after host Jimmy Kimmel had announced films in which white men saved Jazz and black women the space mission.

Present at the Oscars was also Desmond Doss Jr., for whom Cinema for Peace had hosted a lunch at the Soho House in Los Angeles to honor the legacy of his father and the message of the film "Hacksaw Ridge". At the lunch Mr. Doss Jr. reminded the attendees - filmmakers, producers, representatives of the Golden Globes as well as the Academy, and other real life heroes - that his father, for refusing to touch a gun, was deemed "crazy" and "suicidal" by his fellow soldiers and also threatened: "We will shoot you if the Japanese don't."

Desmond Doss was a man of Christian conviction, which forbid him to kill, and it was a bit "of an irony", according to Doss jr., that it was Mel Gibson who directed the film; but "after hundreds of people wanting to do the film for half a century, he was the first to get it right". Doss was the first conscientious objector to be awarded the Medal of Honor. At his funeral US army helicopters flew overhead in a tribute formation. At the end of the film, after Doss had saved 75 soldiers in the battle of Okinawa under fire, without touching a gun and despite being wounded, a full battalion does not move despite their call to action - until Doss finishes his prayer for them.

The nominated real life heroes and movies 2017 are:

by Jeff Nichols with Ruth Negga and Joel Edgerton produced by Nancy Buirski, Ged Doherty, Colin Firth, Sarah Green, Marc Turtletaub and Peter Saraf

Loving is a touching portrayal of interracial couple Richard and Mildred Loving who fell in love and were married in 1958. The state of Virginia, where they were making their home and starting a family, jailed and then banished them. Thanks to their tireless legal fight for their relationship to be recognized, the Supreme Court unanimously held that laws prohibiting interracial marriage are unconstitutional.

by Garth Davis with Dev Patel, Sunny Pawar and Nicole Kidman produced by Iain Canning, Angie Fielder and Emile Sherman

Lion tells the story almost too fantastic to be true. Five year old Saroo gets lost on a train which takes him thousands of miles across India, away from home and family. He must learn to survive alone in Kolkata, before ultimately being adopted by an Australian couple. Twenty five years later, armed with only a handful of memories, his unwavering determination, and a revolutionary technology known as Google Earth, he sets out to find his lost family and finally return to his first home.

by Clint Eastwood with Tom Hanks produced by Tim Moore, Clint Eastwood, Frank Marshall and Allyn Stewart

We all remember the emergency landing on Hudson River performed by Capt. Chesley “Sully” Sullenberger. Thanks to his mastery and control all of the 155 passengers and crew survived the ordeal, and Sullenberger became a national hero in the eyes of the public and the media. Despite the accolades, the famed pilot now faces an investigation that threatens to destroy his career and reputation.

by Mick Jackson with Rachel Weisz, Tom Wilkinson and Timothy Spall produced by Gary Foster and Russ Krasnoff

Denial tells the story of legal battle for truth. When university professor Deborah E. Lipstadt included historian David Irving in a book about Holocaust deniers, Irving accused her of libel and sparked a legal battle for historical truth. Lipstadt and her legal team fought to prove the essential truth that the Holocaust occurred.

by Theodore Malfi with Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, Janelle Monáe and Kevin Costner produced by Donna Gigliotti, Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, Pharrell Williams and Theodore Melfi
The eponymous Hidden Figures were the three brilliant African-American women at NASA - Katherine Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan and Mary Jackson who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation‘s confidence, turned around the Space Race and galvanized the world. It was made possible partially thanks to efforts of Al Harrison - the NASA boss who lifted the race barrier.
