Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress

My favorite actress, Alicia Vikander, is a Swedish actress who was nominated for the 2016 Academy Award. She is one of the new rising stars in Hollywood. Because of her outstanding performance in the latest film, The Danish Girl, Alicia is getting more and more recognition and finally won her first nomination for the best supporting role, even though she had to go up against many big stars like Kate Winslate, Rachel McAdams and Roony Mara. Although . I really admire her because of her touching performances in many films. She was not only nominated for the Oscar, but also The Golden Globes Award which is a big award for Hollywood. She won both awards which is very hard for this career to earn these awards on first time nomination. Some people were nominated five times but still have not won one.

Her brunette long hair was partially pulled up into a mini bun and left the rest hanging down on her back. She went with simple hair and makeup which drew attention to her beautiful features. Her innocent hazel eyes went well with a…

She tries to change and become more feminine in order to get a guy who happens to be in the ice hockey team. Her dad, wanting her to go back to martial…

the Flies, William Golding leaves an impression on his readers. Overall, William Golding provides a satisfying conclusion to his novel The Lord of the Flies because though the main conflict is solved at the end, the other conflicts that appeared throughout the book are never resolved. In the final chapter of The Lord of the Flies, the stranded schoolboys are found and rescued by a Naval Officer. In hindsight, this should have made for a happy ending. In reality, however, the boys still…
