While there are those who think that the other nominees should win the 2014 Academy Award for Best Picture, Captain Phillips is a fantastic and well made movie based on a true story.

There were two hundred seventy people in attendance in the hotel’s Blossom Room on May 16, 1929 (“History of the,” 2013). Today, the ceremony is an eagerly anticipated and globally televised event.
