Martin Scorsese&#8217;s 2004 Best Picture nominee The Aviator is the next feature in the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences&#8216; &#34;Great To Be Nominated&#34; series. The handsome but vapid Howard Hughes biopic will be screened on Monday, July 28, at 7:30 p.m. at the Academy&#8217;s Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. 
Following the screening, cast members Alec Baldwin, Jacob Davich, J.C. Mackenzie, and Amy Sloan, production sound mixer Petur Hliddal, special effects supervisor R. Bruce Steinheimer, and miniature effects supervisor Matthew Gratzner will take part in a discussion about the film.
The US$100-million-plus The Aviator wasn&#8217;t quite the hoped-for critical and box-office hit, though the biopic won numerous accolades and did good business thanks to the casting of Leonardo DiCaprio [...]]]></description>

Tommy Lee Jones plays Howard Hughes (above, lower photo) in the TV movie The Amazing Howard Hughes (1977); Jason Robards plays the old and haggard Hughes in Melvin and Howard (1980), for which he received an Academy Award nomination as best supporting actor; George Peppard plays a fictionalized Hughes in The Carpetbaggers (1964); and Robert Ryan plays another Hughes clone in Caught (1949).
