Frost/Nixon & The Reader

Frost/Nixon is a historical drama film based upon the play of the same name by Peter Morgan, which dramatises the 1977 televised Frost/Nixon interviews. The film reunites its original two stars from the London and Broadway productions of the play, Frank Langella as former President of the United States Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen as British TV broadcaster David Frost. the filming of Frost/Nixon began on August 27, 2007.

The Reader tells the story of Michael Berg, a German lawyer who as a teenager in the late 1950s had an affair with an older woman, Hanna Schmitz, who then disappeared only to resurface eight years later as one of the defendants in a war crimes trial stemming from her actions as a concentration camp guard late in the war. Michael alone realizes that Hanna is illiterate and may be concealing that at the expense of her freedom. Winslet and David Kross, who plays the young Michael, have received much praise for their performances.

Both the films have been nominated for several major awards.
