Leni Riefenstahl was honored at the Oscars ceremony earlier this year (she passed away and was among those shown on the "rememberance" screen).

Think they have ever bother to recognize a porn star this way? The woman was a propagandist for the Nazis. Some say that she "had no choice". Fritz Lang was the first choice for the job. He refused and came to America (he even left his pro-Hitler wife behind).

"Think they have ever bother to recognize a porn star this way?"

Gotcha...YEP!

Its Los Angeles, 1977, and adult film director Jack Horner (Burt Reynolds) meets Eddie Adams (Mark Wahlberg), a well-endowed dishwasher in a nightclub. Jack recruits Eddie to be his newest star and Eddie, hungry for fame, quickly agrees, changing his name to Dirk Diggler. Soon Dirk is the hottest star in the porn industry, alongside Rollergirl (Heather Graham), a high school dropout who never removes her roller skates, and Amber Waves (Julianne Moore), the veteran star who pines for the son she's not allowed to visit. On the fringes, Little Bill (William H. Macy) fumes while his wife cheats on him in public, and Buck Swope (Don Cheadle) tries to escape the stigma of being a porn actor. The good times roll, but before long Dirk falls victim to the pressures of stardom and a drug habit that ruins his career while Jack struggles with porns conversion from film to cheaper videotapes. Director Paul Thomas Andersons breakthrough film is an exhilarating ride along the underbelly of the 1970s inspired by the films of Altman and Scorsese, featuring colorful camera work, a dynamic soundtrack, and excellent performances from the entire cast, most notably Reynolds in an Oscar-nominated comeback role.
