Academy president Hernán Findling said, “The Academy will defend and promote Argentinian cinema. We have a long tradition and we’re doing whatever we can to share how important our national industry is.”
Referring to the suspension of public film body Incaa, Academy vice president Sabrina Farji said, “We’re very worried because we don’t know how many films there will be here next year.

Hannah Waddingham credits Game Of Thrones with transforming her career, but she didn’t love everything about filming the epic HBO series.
Waddingham played religious zealot Septa Unella in the Thrones franchise and featured in a torture scene, in which Cersei Lannister, played by Lena Headey, poured wine on her face.
She told The Late Show with Stephen Colbert that they filmed the scene for 10 hours and it was like being “actually waterboarded” in a quest for authenticity.
Waddingham said the scene was “horrific” and, five years on from the final season, she continues to have “chronic claustrophobia” as a result of her experience.
Waddingham said she had discussed the condition with Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss since filming had wrapped. “Thrones gave me something I wasn’t expecting,” she said.

This article contains spoilers for "Drive-Away Dolls."
Pedro Pascal has been acting professionally since the 1990s, but there's no denying he's been exploding in popularity over the last few years. Not only is he the titular star of "The Mandalorian," but he's also Joel Miller on "The Last Of Us," the new Reed Richards in Marvel's reboot of "Fantastic Four," and will also appear in Ridley Scott's highly-anticipated "Gladiator 2." But what makes Pascal such an endearing performer is that he's not limited to just playing huge roles — he also loves popping up into random movies and TV shows to have a little fun. One of the latest examples is in Tricia Cooke and Ethan Coen's "Drive-Away Dolls," where trailers depicted Pedro Pascal as Santos, a mysterious man carrying a briefcase who winds up as a "suave head in a hatbox."

Pedro Pascal is the kind of star who seems like he became a success overnight. But of course, appearances can be deceiving. The actor worked in film and television for 15 years before landing what was his first big break on Game of Thrones. Yet, even with his role on that show, perhaps what fans – and Pascal himself – remember most is his epic death scene.

Game of Thrones, of course, premiered on HBO back in 2011. And the show soon gained attention for its complex storytelling, ensemble cast, and uncompromising approach to sex and violence. During its run, much of its cast found their breakthrough roles, including supporting players and even recurring characters like Pascal’s Oberyn Martell.
The character emerges in Game of Thrones Season 4 to attend Joffrey’s (Jack Gleeson) wedding.

As anyone who's beaten the odds to become a known entity in Hollywood will tell you, there's no such thing as an overnight success. For Chilean-born actor Pedro Pascal, the path to stardom has been a slow and steady rise that started with some fairly memorable television appearances that eventually led to his electric portrayal of the Dornish Prince Oberyn Martell in season 4 of "Game of Thrones." Pascal seemed born for the role of Prince Oberyn, injecting the character with intense passion, sexuality, and a fervor for life, which made it all the more tragic when he met his gruesome fate at the hands of Gregor Clegane aka The Mountain. "Game of Thrones" devotees deeply felt the loss which endeared Pascal even more to a growing legion of fans.
This year marked a significant shift in Pascal's widespread popularity, placing the actor in rarified air with two hit shows premiering at the exact same time.

Pedro Pascal, our collective internet daddy, might be a little bit too comfortable in his role as a protector.
The actor is currently stealing our hearts as a gruff and traumatized survivalist in HBO's "The Last of Us," where he's reluctantly carting a teenage girl across the country despite the ever-present threat of mushroom zombies intent on tearing them apart. Lucky for us, even if Pascal's Joel doesn't manage to survive until the end of the season, the actor will still be all over our screens in March when "The Mandalorian" returns for season 3. This time his child cargo will be an alien infant by the name of Grogu, and instead of trekking across post-apocalyptic America, he'll be cruising through various galaxies.
Needless to say, this is Pedro Pascal's world and we're just living in it. He's everywhere, all the time, making the world a wonderful place as the...
