Dmitri Tiomkin, also an immigrant, was nominated for 22 statuettes, and became the winner of four. Peter Ustinov became the winner twice: in 1960 and 1964.

The first winner of the "Oscar" of the Soviet Union became a documentary filmmakers Varlamov and Kapalin "Moscow Strikes Back." The film won the award in 1943, the year before she was awarded the Stalin Prize.

Nominated film also on the "Best art director," but did not win. Magnificent ensemble cast, a whopping cost of complex, innovative shooting battle scenes, great screenwriter - only a small part of the indisputable advantages of this painting. Above its creation literally beat half of the country, the Ministry of Defence has provided the horses and entire military units, the Ministry of Light Industry to invest in the creation of costumes, during the filming was formed a cavalry regiment cinematic.

In 1975, the "Oscar" won the film "Dersu Uzala". Joint Russian-Japanese project rezhisserstvom classic movie by Akira Kurosawa got, except for "Oscar" awards six more festivals around the world. The film, like the work of Vladimir Arsenyev affects many issues: the relationship between civilization and nature, the problem of urbanization and man's place in the world, the problem of faith and ethics. According to the book Arsenyev director Babayan in 1961 has already been removed from the picture of the same name, but international fame was to find exactly version of Kurosawa. The film is undoubtedly good, and today it looks the same breath, however, the controversy surrounding the significance of the two adaptations continues.

The third Russian director has received "Oscar" was Vladimir Menchov and his painting "Moscow Does Not Believe in Tears". The film could not help but be interested in Oscar committee. In 1980, it looked about 90 million Soviet viewers, and "Oscar" like "cash".

The film is called, "went to the people", sold for a quote, his characters have become role models. Vladimir Menchov in 1981 was restricted to leave. Some of cinematic brethren dashed off to the director cavil. He received a statuette for Soviet cultural attache. The award has found a hero in eight years when fewer received the award "Nika».

7. "The Old Man and the Sea»
2000 - American Academy Award winner was the film "The Old Man and the Sea" by Alexander Petrov. Labor multiplier is fundamentally different from cine, it requires no investment fabulous, but great talent, patience, will, and once again the talent to literally paint film. In technology, Alexander Petrov, for example, one second of screen time is 20 drawings on the glass. Four to four and a half minutes per shift relieve directors, cinematographers. See the difference? 4 minutes - is 240 seconds and 4,800 drawings director-animator. This is an extremely laborious and difficult work - to draw cartoons.
