The films they produced have grossed over $13 billion. The movies include four for which Grazer was personally nominated for an Academy Award: ''Splash'' (1984), ''Apollo 13'' (1995), ''A Beautiful Mind'' (2001), and ''Frost/Nixon'' (2008).〔(Mike Fleming Jr., "Q&A: Brian Grazer and Ron Howard on 25 Years Together as Imagine Partners" ) deadline.com June 21, 2011. Retrieved September 7, 2011.〕 His films and TV series have been nominated for 43 Academy Awards, and 131 Emmys. In 2002, Grazer won an Oscar for Best Picture for ''A Beautiful Mind'' (shared with Ron Howard). In 2007, he was named one of ''Time''s "100 Most Influential People in the World".〔 ==Early life== Grazer was born in Los Angeles, California, to Arlene Becker Grazer and criminal defense attorney Thomas Grazer. He is the older brother of Nora Beth Grazer (born 1952) and actor/director Gavin Grazer (1956). He was raised in Sherman Oaks and Northridge, in Los Angeles's San Fernando Valley.〔 Grazer's mother is Jewish and his father was Catholic, and he described himself in 2000 as "half-Jewish".〔 Subsequently, third-party reports conflicted as to whether he was Jewish or a practicing Christian.〔()〕〔 ''"Last week we mentioned that mega-producer Brian Grazer has taken over the job producing the Oscars telecast, but he isn't really a Jewish star. Even though he has a Jewish parent, he became a practicing Christian more than a decade ago."''〕 His parents divorced when he was in high school. Grazer said "My best buddy, the most important person in my growing up, was my little 4-foot-10 Jewish grandmother, and she'd say, 'In order to get it, you got to do it. No one's going to get it for you, Brian.'"〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Grazer」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
