http://www.christopherplummer.eu/ Wogan was a chat show on British television, hosted by Terry Wogan. It followed the format of a series broadcast in 1980 entitled What's On Wogan?, which failed to gather viewers. The Wogan show was initially broadcast on Tuesday evenings on BBC1 in 1981 and from 1982 to 1984, it moved into the Parkinson slot on Saturday nights. From here, it was moved to weekday evenings at 7pm, where it remained, three nights per week, from 1985 to 1992

After appearing in over 150 movies, Christopher Plummer received his first Academy Award nomination two years ago at the age of 80 for playing Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station. Since then he has been incredibly busy with nine movies since the beginning of 2009 and numerous voice acting performances for video games. Plummer might be back to win the prize this year for his deeply moving performance in Mike Mills' Beginners. Plummer plays Hal, an elderly man who comes out as gay after his wife passes away. The performance is not as showy as recent winners have been, but it does have a lot going for it. Primarily he comes across as incredibly sympathetic but still flawed. It's a difficult tone to pull off, but Plummer does so marvelously and should have enough respect from the Academy to at lea...
