#BEBE BUELL ALMOST FAMOUS TV#
In a Hollywood Reporter 2014 list voted on by "studio chiefs, Oscar winners and TV royalty", Almost Famous was ranked the 71st greatest film of all time. In a 2016 international poll conducted by BBC, Almost Famous was ranked the 79th greatest film since 2000. It also won two Golden Globe Awards, for Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Supporting Actress – Motion Picture (Hudson). Roger Ebert hailed it the best film of the year as well as the ninth-best film of the 2000s. It was also awarded the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Compilation Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media. The film received widespread acclaim from critics and received four Academy Awards nominations, including a win for Best Original Screenplay. Crowe has discussed how during this period he lost his virginity, fell in love, and met his musical heroes-these events represented in the film as happening to William Miller (Fugit), the boyish main character. It is based on his experiences touring with rock bands Poco, the Allman Brothers Band, Led Zeppelin, Eagles, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. The film is semi-autobiographical, as Crowe himself was a teenage writer for Rolling Stone. It tells the story of a teenage journalist writing for Rolling Stone in the early 1970s, his touring with the fictitious rock band Stillwater, and his efforts to get his first cover story published. Almost Famous is a 2000 American comedy-drama film written and directed by Cameron Crowe and starring Billy Crudup, Frances McDormand, Kate Hudson, and Patrick Fugit.
