Abstract

The article discusses the U.S. motion picture industry's Academy Awards presentation in 2014 and the fact that six of the Best Picture award nominees are films about real people or real events, including "The Wolf of Wall Street" starring Leonardo DiCaprio and "Captain Phillips" starring Tom Hanks. According to the article, DiCaprio's character in the movie is based on stockbroker Jordan Belfort. The 1853 memoir "12 Years a Slave" by Solomon Northup is also examined.
