The National Board of Review announced its annual awards Tuesday and gave "A Most Violent Year" the Best Picture of the year, while the film's lead actor, Guatemalan-born Oscar Isaac, won Best Actor.
The best actor race is one of the most competitive categories at the Academy Awards. Every year the race leaves out many worthy competitors due to the number of great performances. This year will definitely not be the exception as there are a number of promising contenders.
Mexican writer/director Alfonso Cuarón's Gravity is representing Latinos in film worldwide by leading the pack for this year's Oscars nods -- with 10 Oscar nominations. But fellow Latino, Guatemala-born actor Oscar Isaac who stars in Inside Llewyn Davis isn't quite feeling the Oscar love that he and the Coen brothers deserve, according to many fans of the film.
Guatemalan actor Oscar Isaac and "Inside Llewyn Davis," a film loosely based on 1960s American folk singer Dave Van Ronk, were chosen as the best actor and best picture of 2013 by the National Society of Film Critics.
Guatemalan singer-actor Oscar Isaac Hernandez, known professionally as Oscar Isaac, has earned a Golden Globe nod for his portrayal of the title character in the Coen Brother newcomer, "Inside Llewyn Davis."
