ROBERTO BENIGNI - Every so often, Hollywood embraces a foreign film, and audiences overcome their aversion to subtitles to make it a box-office success. Such was the case in 1997 with the Italian film 'Life Is Beautiful,' a heart-wrenching depiction of a concentration camp seen through the eyes of a father and son. The movie left few dry eyes in theaters, winning over critics and audiences alike. Benigni, who both directed and starred in the film, became the unlikely darling of the Oscars season, his infectious energy and heartfelt performance captivating voters.

What happened after the Oscar? The charm began to wear thin almost immediately after Sophia Loren announced his name for Best Actor. Benigni climbed over audience seats to reach the stage, and his exuberant declaration that he wanted to make love to everyone left some viewers questioning their enthusiasm. Though Benigni wasn’t a newcomer — he had long been a fixture in Jim Jarmusch’s films and even starred in Blake Edwards’ regrettable 'Son of the Pink Panther' (earning him a Razzie) — he had largely flown under Hollywood’s radar until 'Life Is Beautiful.'

And after his Oscar win, he remained under the radar. His 2002 version of 'Pinocchio' remains one of the most infamous flops in recent memory, rejected by both critics and audiences alike. With his larger-than-life personality proving too polarizing for mainstream Hollywood, Benigni returned to Italy, where his distinctive brand of humor continues to be celebrated in his highly successful career as a comedian.
