Novelists like Nicholas Sparks, with works like The Notebook and A Walk to Remember, have particularly ignited a new perception towards love, passion, and romance, gaining popularity among readers of all ages and backgrounds. Naturally, literature and cinema go hand-in-hand, with the former historically providing inspiration for the creation of the latter....

The Academy Awards, otherwise known as the Oscars, have traditionally been viewed as one of the most prestigious awards an actor can receive. Countless actors have received recognition from the Academy, and yet some, despite all expectations and their talent, are still waiting for their awards.

Ever since its inception in classic Hollywood films like The Red Shoes, the “obsessive artist” trope has become an extremely popular one throughout film.
