Shakespeare In Love#REDIRECT Shakespeare_in_Love Shakespeare in Love''Shakespeare in Love'' is a 1998 film. In this dramatic romantic comedy, William Shakespeare is portrayed as a young, struggling playwright, plagued by money shortages, problems with women, and writer's block. Some of the characters and their lines are references to lines and characters in real Shakespeare plays -- implying that these inspire the film's Shakespeare later in life. Most of the film's major plot devices are also taken from Shakespeare. It should be noted that the movie is entirely fictional, and indeed often inconsistent with the historical record (for instance, the colonization of North America by the English did not begin until 1584 and ''Romeo and Juliet'' was largely written by 1596 or 1597). This is however consistent with the style of Shakespeare's plays, which often featured anachronisms. ==Primary cast== *Joseph Fiennes: William Shakespeare *Gwyneth Paltrow: Viola De Lesseps *Geoffrey Rush: Philip Henslowe *Tom Wilkinson: Hugh Fennyman *Judi Dench: Queen Elizabeth *Colin Firth: Lord Wessex *Martin Clunes: Richard Burbage *Simon Callow: Tilney, Master of the Revels *Imelda Staunton: Nurse *Ben Affleck: Ned Alleyn ==Synopsis== At a fake audition of a play that he has not yet written a word of, "Romeo and Ethel, the Sea Pirate's Daughter", he admires the talent of a new actor, Thomas Kent, who promptly runs away. Shakespeare meets Viola de Lesseps (played by Gwyneth Paltrow), who lives in the same house as Kent, and promptly falls in love with her, which inspires him to begin writing his play again. By the time Will realizes that Viola and Thomas are the same person, she is promised in marriage to a lord approved of by Elizabeth I of England herself (portrayed by Judi Dench). But the couple find themselves unable to avoid a clandestine affair and even risk the wrath of the law against women being on stage by having Viola play "Juliet" in Shakespeare's play, by now renamed ''Romeo and Juliet''. At the conclusion of the play, the Queen applauds the abilities of both writer and "actor," but orders that Viola rejoin her husband, who is about to move to America. On release, the film was compared with the 1941 novel ''No Bed for Bacon'', which also features Shakespeare writing his plays. ==Award wins== *Academy Award for Best Picture *BAFTA Award for Best Picture *Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture - Musical or Comedy *Academy Award for Best Actress - Gwyneth Paltrow *Golden Globe Award for Best Actress - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy - Gwyneth Paltrow *Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress - Judi Dench *BAFTA Award - Judi Dench *Academy Award for Writing Original Screenplay - Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard *Golden Globe - Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard *Writers Guild of America - Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard *Academy Award for Best Art Direction - Martin Childs & Jill Quertier *Academy Award for Costume Design - Sandy Powell (costume designer) *Academy Award for Original Music Score - Stephen Warbeck *BAFTA Award - David Gamble ==Award nominations== *Academy Award for Directing - John Madden (director) *BAFTA Award - John Madden *Directors Guild of America - John Madden *Golden Globe Award for Best Director - Motion Picture - John Madden *BAFTA Award - Gwyneth Paltrow *BAFTA Award - Joseph Fiennes *Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor - Geoffrey Rush *BAFTA Award - Geoffrey Rush *Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor - Motion Picture - Geoffrey Rush *BAFTA Award - Tom Wilkinson *Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress - Motion Picture - Judi Dench *Academy Award for Best Cinematography - Richard Greatrex *BAFTA Award - Richard Greatrex *BAFTA Award - Marc Norman & Tom Stoppard *Academy Award for Film Editing - David Gamble *Academy Award for Makeup - Lisa Westcott & Veronica Brebner *BAFTA Award - Lisa Westcott *Academy Award for Sound - Robin O'Donoghue, Dominic Lester, Peter Glossop *BAFTA Award - Robin O'Donoghue, Dominic Lester, Peter Glossop, John Downer (movies) *BAFTA Award - Stephen Warbeck *BAFTA Award - Sandy Powell (costume designer) *BAFTA Award - Martin Childs 1998 films Romantic comedy films Drama films AFI 100 Passions Shakespeare on film Best Picture Oscar Best Actress Oscar (film) Best Supporting Actor Oscar Nominee (film) Best Supporting Actress Oscar (film) Shakespeare in LoveCan anyone explain or know the reason why Rupert Everett is not credited for his portrayal of the role of KIT MARLOW???
