movies of all-time: “Avatar”, “Avatar: The Way of Water” and “Titanic”. Landau has built a highly successful career with his keen eye for compelling storytelling and a knack for bringing ambitious projects to the big screen.</p> <p>Jon was born in New York City to Ely and Edie Landau, both well-known producers of independent films that included “The Pawnbroker”, “Long Day’s Journey into Night” and “The Man in the Glass Booth”. Landau studied Film at the University of Southern California’s School of Cinematic Arts where he also took liberal art courses in history and literature.From USC Jon moved back to New York for his first job as a set production assistant and his insatiable curiosity about film making ensured that he rapidly moved up the ranks. His early film credits include “Manhunter”, “Making Mr Right”, “Campus Man” “Honey, I Shrunk the Kids” and co-producing “Dick Tracy” with Warren Beatty. At the age of 29 Jon became the Senior Vice President of Physical Production at 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox where he supervised production on films such as “Die Hard”, “Mrs Doubtfire”, “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers”, “The Last of the Mohicans” and “True Lies” where he first worked with James Cameron.When Jon decided to leave 20<sup>th</sup> Century Fox Cameron asked him if he wanted to read the script for a project code-named “Planet Ice”. Their collaboration on the blockbuster hit “Titanic” (1997) proved to be a game-changer for both Landau and the film industry as a whole. “Titanic” went on to become the highest-grossing film of its time and won 11 Academy Awards, including Best Picture.</p> <p>Following the success of “Titanic” Landau continued to work closely with Cameron on other groundbreaking projects. One of the most notable collaborations was the epic science fiction film “Avatar” (2009). Landau’s role as producer was pivotal in bringing the visually stunning and technologically innovative film to fruition. “Avatar” went on to overtake “Titanic” and become the highest-grossing film of all time. The adventure continued with <span class="eop">“Avatar: The Way of Water” which was r</span>eleased in 2022. The film g<span class="eop">rossed more than $2.3 billion worldwide and won an Oscar® for Best Visual Effects.Jon is currently producing three Avatar sequels, with the next one scheduled to be released theatrically worldwide on December 19, 2025.</span></p> <p>Throughout his career, Landau has been instrumental in the licensing and marketing of his films across platforms globally. He takes a hands-on approach to bringing innovation, diversity, and showmanship to these areas of the process. Never one to rest on his laurels, Landau is pro-actively working with companies and individuals throughout the entertainment industry to push technologies to new levels that will allow new stories to be told and then presented in more engaging and immersive ways. His career is characterized by a dedication to excellence, a willingness to take creative risks, and a passion for bringing captivating stories to audiences around the world.</p> <h2>Diane Warren</h2> <h4>27th Satellite Awards, 2022</h4> <p><img decoding="async" class="alignleft wp-image-5567 size-large" src="https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-180x168.jpg" alt="" width="180" height="168" srcset="https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-180x168.jpg 180w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-100x94.jpg 100w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-768x719.jpg 768w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-1536x1437.jpg 1536w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/DW_0837-V2-CROP-2048x1916.jpg 2048w" sizes="(max-width: 180px) 100vw, 180px" />Diane Warren is one of modern music’s most celebrated songwriters.

Ask a dozen folks to name the movie that comes to mind when you mention her name, and you’ll probably get a dozen different movies, from her Oscar-winning performance in <i>Michael Clayton</i> to the archangel Gabriel in <i>Constantine</i> to the White Witch in <i>Chronicles of Narnia</i>. Some may even claim to have seen her play Mozart on stage. For me, it’s that very strange Jim Jarmusch film from 2013, <i>Only Lovers Left Alive</i>. It’s a vampire film filled with atmosphere, where Swinton plays “Eve” to Thomas Hiddleston’s “Adam.” It’s unusual, bizarre, eclectic, and poignant (but not biblical, I don’t think!), which sort of describes Ms. Swinton at her finest. Swinton is the very definition of a Shape Shifter. Her gender-bending roles are part of her repertoire. She asks the question, “How do we identify ourselves?” And answers through her performances—on screen, stage, or in art galleries. She belongs to the Scottish Clan Swinton that can be traced back to the 9<sup>th</sup> century, and if you have seen enough of her offbeat films, you might surmise that if you ask her what those centuries since have been like, she’ll probably fill your ears with all the hair-raising tales she herself has experienced over the last thousand years.</p> <p class="ydp5ced99b1msonormal" style="text-align: right;">— contributed by Lawrence Grobel</p> <h2>Stacy Keach</h2> <h4>24th Satellite Awards, 2019</h4> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-5151 alignleft" src="https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-160x240.jpg" alt="" width="160" height="240" srcset="https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-160x240.jpg 160w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-89x133.jpg 89w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-768x1152.jpg 768w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1-1366x2048.jpg 1366w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/Stacy-Keach-Smiling-Headshot-002-1.jpg 1667w" sizes="(max-width: 160px) 100vw, 160px" /><span style="text-indent: 1.25em;">Among the hundreds of soaring reviews for the acting of Stacy Keach, perhaps the most telling was the comment by director John Huston following one of his several films with him. “Stacy Keach,” Huston noted, “is not merely a star. He is a constellation.”</span></p> <p>Living up to that high esteem, Keach<strong> </strong>has managed the difficult task of maintaining a vibrant series of performances, many of them nominated or award-winning, in top motion pictures and television projects while continuing to add to his remarkable achievement on the stage, both classical and Broadway. His dominant contribution to television entertainment continues with his current key role as Matt LeBlanc’s father in the CBS hit series, <em>Man With A Plan</em>; his recurring role in two hit shows, <em>Blue Bloods </em>and<em> CSI: New Orleans; </em>and his 12 years as the voice of CNBC’s popular series, <em>American Greed.</em></p> <p><em> </em>In feature films, he is teamed with John Travolta in the upcoming <em>Gotti</em>, the highly anticipated mafia drama in which he contends for mafia leadership with the title character portrayed by Travolta. His long string of recent film roles includes:</p> <p><em>Truth</em>, teamed with Cate Blanchett and Robert Redford, <em>Gold</em>, starring Matthew McConaughy, and the film adaptation of the Stephen King novel, <em>Cell, </em>with John Cusack and Samuel L. Jackson.</p> <p>John Huston’s <em>Fat City</em>, an early film in which he starred with Jeff Bridges, launched a rich career as both leading actor and character actor for him in feature motion pictures. His spectacular impressive filmography includes Alexander Payne’s recent Academy Award nominated <em>Nebraska</em>, and such significant works as <em>The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, End of the Road, Doc, The New Centurions, Fat City, Luther, The Long Riders, The Ninth Configuration, Up In Smoke, Nice Dreams, Judge Roy Bean, Escape From L.A., American History X, W., Imbued </em>(for which he also composed the score), and <em>The Bourne Legacy </em>as well as the classic western, <em>The Long-Riders,</em> which he produced with his brother James.</p> <p> </p> <h2>Rade Serbedzija</h2> <h4>23rd Satellite Awards, 2018</h4> <p><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-large wp-image-5024 alignleft" src="http://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Rade-Picture-1-163x240.jpg" alt="" width="163" height="240" srcset="https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Rade-Picture-1-163x240.jpg 163w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Rade-Picture-1-90x133.jpg 90w, https://www.pressacademy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/02/Rade-Picture-1.jpg 196w" sizes="(max-width: 163px) 100vw, 163px" />The International Press Academy (IPA) is celebrating the diverse and versatile actor Rade Serbedzija as the recipient of the prestigious <strong>Mary Pickford Award </strong>for <em>Outstanding Artistic Contribution to the Entertainment Industry</em>at the 23rd annual Satellite Awards.</p> <p>Rade joins the esteemed ranks of previous honorees that include Rod Steiger, Alan J.

He produced an anti-domestic violence documentary called <em>It Ain’t Love </em>(1997) and launched an <em>Americanos Latino Life in the United States </em>multimedia project that was organized by the Smithsonian Institution and turned into a CD, a HBO and PBS documentary and a photo essay book. Fans know Eddie as Commander Adama in the <em>Battlestar Galactica </em>miniseries, Lt. Marty Castillo in <em>Miami Vice, </em>and of course the portrayal of real-life tough teacher Jaime Escalante in <em>Stand and Deliver </em>for a role that earned him an Academy Award nomination in 1988 as well as an Independent Spirit Award. Olmos has turned his art into activism and his role as the tough teacher makes him a favorite speaker at graduation ceremonies.

A longtime artist-activist, Louise Fletcher’s early life experience with deaf parents made her extremely aware of social issues.

You’ve been involved in over 300 films, but these were the ones you had to be most proud of, the ones that won the awards, the ones that will last as long as the movies last. You didn’t have to say anything, but I’ve got to tell you, Mike, it was pretty daunting sitting opposite you in that office with Nicholson, Keaton, Hanks, Hopkins, De Niro and all those others staring down. I mean, really Mike, it’s a not-so-subtle form of intimidation and one-upsmanship.
