ACADEMY’S LATINX-FOCUSED INTERVIEW SERIES, “SEEN,” CONTINUES WITH EDWARD JAMES OLMOS
The Academy continues “Seen,” a series of candid interviews on culture, identity and representation with some of today’s most influential filmmakers and artists. Available now on the Academy’s YouTube, episode 2 features Edward James Olmos – nominated for a 1988 Best Actor Oscar® for his role as Jaime Escalante in “Stand and Deliver”– in conversation with journalist Nick Barili, the series host.
Olmos invites Barili to meet him at Bell Gardens Intermediate School, a site of Olmos’s Youth Cinema Project, to see firsthand how the program empowers students to tell their stories on film. Olmos reflects on growing up in the cultural diversity of East Los Angeles, his stints in baseball and rock ’n’ roll before he finally landed on acting, and the importance of collaboration and creative control. He discusses what his roles in “Zoot Suit” and “Stand and Deliver” mean to him, as well as the larger culture, and why he regularly turns down work.

HIGHLIGHTS: “The story itself, the truth of the story itself, is powerful. A hundred years from today, that movie will be seen and understood and be appreciated. All we wanted to do is just document the behavior of this man. And we did it, and I was very fortunate I was able to do it.” – Edward James Olmos on “Stand and Deliver”
“To me, trying to understand your life and then your culture, and your heritage, and the roots that make you the tree that you are, and the human being that you are, sharing it so that others can understand it, makes everybody stronger.”
“Out of a necessity to stay alive in this industry, I had to learn the full usage of storytelling, whether it be in songwriting, filmmaking, or theater. If we weren’t creating it, we weren’t gonna be able to do it, because nobody was creating it for us.”

Tied at 17 with 6:32 remaining, the Rams – helped by 25-yard completion from quarterback Matthew Stafford to wide receiver Cooper Kupp – mounted a go-ahead scoring drive capped off by a 30-yard field goal by kicker Matt Gay for a 20-17 lead with 1:46 remaining.
On the ensuing series, defensive lineman Aaron Donald pressured 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo into an errant pass that was tipped and intercepted by linebacker Travin Howard, which Howard returned six yards to the 49ers 13-yard line. From there, the Rams entered victory formation to run out the remaining 69 seconds and secure the victory.
Stafford completed 31 of 45 pass attempts for 337 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Kupp was on the receiving end of both of those touchdowns, also finishing with 11 catches for 142 yards. Wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. added nine catches for 113 yards.
Here is the complete game recap, presented by Audi:
The teams traded 3-and-outs on their respective opening possessions. The Rams’ second possession reached the 49ers’ 3-yard line, but Stafford’s pass intended for Kupp was deflected, then intercepted in the endzone by 49ers safety Jimmie Ward.
The Rams eventually broke through with a 97-yard scoring drive ending with a 16-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Kupp for a 7-0 lead midway through the second quarter.
However, the 49ers responded a little over two and a half minutes later with a 44-yard screen pass for a touchdown from quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to wide receiver Deebo Samuel to tie the game 7-7.
The Rams were positioned to answer on the ensuing drive, but Gay’s 54-yard field goal attempt missed short to the right. Following the change of possession, the 49ers added a 38-yard field goal from kicker Robbie Gould as time expired for a 10-7 halftime lead.
Los Angeles’ third-down stop early in the third quarter helped gain some momentum, but it was halted at the San Francisco 43 after it unsuccessfully challenged that the ball was short of the line to gain on 4th and 1 from that spot. On the ensuing possession, the 49ers extended their lead to 17-7 on a 16-yard touchdown pass from Garoppolo to tight end George Kittle with 1:59 left in the third quarter.
L.A. answered with an 11-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Kupp on the ensuing drive to reduce its deficit to three early in the fourth quarter.
A third-down stop at their own 45 gave the Rams another chance, despite unsuccessfully challenging 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk being down by contact. The unsuccessful challenges left the Rams without any timeouts or challenges with 10:01 left in the game. The 49ers appeared to be going for it on 4th and 2 from that spot, but wound up taking the delay of game penalty and punting.
Gay’s 30-yard field goal gave the Rams a 20-17 lead with 1:46 to play. On the following series, Donald got to Garoppolo, and Howard corralled the tipped the tipped pass to clinch the victory.
Los Angeles, Calif. – Santa Fe’s Grammy-award nominee, Ottmar Liebert and his band Luna Negra, are coming to the Los Angeles area and will be playing songs fans have come to know and love on Feb. 10 & 11, 2022. Ottmar is a five-time Grammy nominee with multiple Gold and Platinum records who has sold millions of records across the globe. A skilled practitioner of contemporary flamenco guitar (nuevo flamenco), he is always a surprise. He plays with many textures – contrasting traditional and electric instruments. The band, Ottmar Liebert and bassist Jon Gagan welcome back dynamic drummer and percussionist Robby Rothschild – who played with them back in 2008/09 and on numerous recordings.
Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra set to perform at Canyon Club in Agoura Hills & Montclair, Feb.10 &11, 2022.
We are happy to announce new music from Ottmar Liebert & Luna Negra!
Ottmar Liebert has kept himself busy during the past 2 challenging years.
Along with an art+music collaboration with Dallas Museum of Art, Ottmar and bassist Jon Gagan recorded two versions of a new album called “vision 2020” (& “vision 2020- Lockdown version”).
And most recently Ottmar recorded another new album, called “Bare Wood 2” –
“The Mixmaster: Ottmar Liebert Continues his mission to combine traditional and modern … And Liebert is fulsome in his support of musical cross-fertilization. “If you want to keep something the way you think is traditional, you’re really stopping all development,” he (Ottmar) says. Noting that “in the current political climate, it’s more important than ever to celebrate the mixing of cultural traditions”, he says, “In many cases, we’re not even aware of how we’ve been enriched.”…(B.Kopp, MetroActive, 2020)
Jennifer Levin says:
“Ottmar Liebert writes wordless romantic melodies that encourage listeners to float away on a voyage of sound..” (J.Levin, Santa Fe New Mexican, 2021)

The Rams led 27-13 late in the fourth quarter when Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady fired a 55-yard touchdown pass to wide receiver Mike Evans to reduce the Rams’ lead to seven with 3:20 remaining.
Tampa Bay then recovered a fumble by running back Cam Akers at the Los Angeles 30 on the ensuing possession, giving it a chance to tie the game. It reached the Los Angeles 9-yard line, facing a 4th and 1 with 46 seconds left, and converted with a 9-yard touchdown run by running back Leonard Fournette, tying the game 27-27 with 42 seconds left.
With 35 seconds to go, Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford fired a 20-yard completion to wide receiver Cooper Kupp, then connected with Kupp again for 44 yards to put the Rams at the Tampa Bay 12 with three seconds left. From there, Gay drained the game-winning, 30-yard field goal as time expired, sending the Rams to the NFC Championship.
Stafford completed 28 of 38 pass attempts for 366 yards and two touchdowns, also rushing for another touchdown, while Kupp hauled in nine receptions for 183 yards and one touchdown.
Here is the complete game recap, presented by Audi:
After the Rams forced the Buccaneers to punt following a third-down pass breakup by cornerback Darious Williams, the Rams used a pair of explosive plays – a 20-yard completion from Stafford to Beckham, followed by a 29-yard completion from Stafford to Higbee – to get on the board first with a 26-yard field goal by Gay for an early 3-0 lead.
That lead expanded to 10-0 with 3:28 left in the second quarter when Stafford connected with tight end Kendall Blanton for a 7-yard touchdown pass, the first touchdown of Blanton’s NFL career.
The Bucs answered with their first points of the contest on the ensuing possession via a 45-yard field goal by kicker Ryan Succop to reduce the Rams’ lead to seven.
The Rams responded with a 70-yard touchdown pass from Stafford to Kupp to go up 17-3 early in the second quarter.
Following Succop’s missed 48-yard field goal attempt, the Rams added a 40-yard field goal from Gay to go up 20-3 with 2:19 left in the first half.
A Nick Scott interception 19 seconds later gave the Rams another chance to build on that lead, but they were unable to capitalize due to Akers’ fumble at the Bucs 1-yard line which was forced and recovered by safety Antoine Winfield. However, the Bucs chose to run out he remaining 19 seconds, leaving the halftime score 20-3.
Wide receiver Brandon Powell’s 33-yard punt return once again gave the Rams advantageous field position, and they capitalized on the ensuing possession via a 1-yard touchdown run by Stafford to expand their lead to 27-3 midway through the third quarter.
The Bucs added a 31-yard field goal by Succop late in the third quarter to make it 27-6. A fumble by Kupp on the ensuing possession gave the ball back to Tampa Bay at the Los Angeles 30, and, with a 4th-and-9 conversion keeping the drive alive, Tampa Bay cut further into the L.A. lead with a one-yard touchdown run by Fournette late in the third quarter.
Rams outside linebacker Von Miller recovered his own forced fumble on a strip-sack of Brady, giving the Rams the ball at the Bucs 25 early in the third quarter.
However, after the Rams took over, the first snap went over Stafford’s head and was recovered by the Buccaneers and returned five yards to the Rams 45-yard line.The Buccaneers went for it on 4th and 14 from the Rams 36, but were unable to convert, resulting in a turnover on downs giving the ball back to the Rams.
The Rams had a chance to increase their lead to 30-13 on the ensuing possession, but Gay’s 47-yard field goal missed short, keeping it a two-possession game with 6:36 remaining.
The Bucs reached the Rams 31 after the change of possession following the missed field goal, but gave the ball back to the Rams after failing to convert on 4th and 9 from there.
Brady connected with Evans on a 55-yard touchdown pass with 3:20 left, cutting the Rams’ lead to 27-20. On the ensuing possession, the Bucs recovered a fumble by Akers at the Rams’ 30.
Fournette’s 9-yard touchdown run tied the game 27-27, but still left plenty of time for the Rams to get the win with 46 seconds remaining. All Stafford needed was two completions totaling 64 yards to Kupp to put the Rams and Gay in position to win. – Rams Recap Press by Stu Jackson
