Actress Andrea Riseborough will keep her surprise best actress Oscar nomination following an internal investigation, the CEO for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced Tuesday.
Riseborough was nominated earlier this month for the little-seen film "To Leslie," prompting serious questions about the legitimacy of the movie's Oscar campaign process.
Academy CEO Bill Kramer said in a statement obtained by CBS News that the organization conducted a "review into the film's campaign tactics" and "determined the activity in question does not rise to the level that the film's nomination should be rescinded."
On April 15, 1874 – 150 years ago – the first Impressionist exhibition opened on Rue du Capucines in Paris, featuring works by 30 artists, including Paul Cézanne, Edgar Degas, Claude Monet, Camille Pissarro, and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. Hosted by the "Anonymous Society of Painters, Sculptors, and Engravers, etc.," it was founded in response to the Paris Salon, the annual, government-sponsored exhibition that would frequently reject the works of the rising artists.
Alec Baldwin had "no control" over his emotions on the set of a film where the cinematographer was shot dead, according to the prosecutor who has charged him with manslaughter. The Hollywood star was holding a Colt .45 during the preparation for a scene in the budget Western "Rust" when the gun went off, killing Halyna Hutchins and wounding director Joel Souza.
