Page "Russell Crowe" Paragraph 11

All three films were also nominated for best picture, and both Gladiator and A Beautiful Mind won the award.

Within the six year stretch from 1997 – 2003, he also starred in two other best picture nominees, L. A.

Confidential and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

In 2005, he re-teamed with A Beautiful Mind director Ron Howard for Cinderella Man.

In 2006 he re-teamed with Gladiator director Ridley Scott for A Good Year, the first of two consecutive collaborations ( the second being American Gangster co-starring again with Denzel Washington, released in late 2007 ).

While the light romantic comedy of A Good Year was not greatly received, Crowe seemed pleased with the film, telling STV in an interview that he thought it would be enjoyed by fans of his other films.
