Elba Esther Gordillo accused of embezzlement
 
Elba Esther Gordillo, head of Mexico’s national teachers’ union, has a reputation for expensive tastes, from luxury homes to plastic surgery.
She is known simply as The Teacher, a union boss of such legendary influence that she was credited with putting a president in office and, until this week, so untouchable she flaunted her apparently dubious wealth with abandon. Now Elba Esther Gordillo is behind bars over the alleged embezzlement of stratospheric amounts of union funds.
Gordillo, leader of the 1.5 million-strong national teachers' union in Mexico, was arrested on Tuesday evening after the private jet in which she had travelled from California landed at an airport near the capital. She spent the night in a Mexico City jail before appearing in court where she was formally read the charges of "operations with resources of illicit origin" and "organised crime".
 
 
 
 
MY OPINION
 
ELBA WERE, IS AND IT WILL ALWAYS BE A (BITCH) BAD PERSON WHO STOLES MONEY AND SPEND IT IN STUPID THINGS FOR HERSELF. SHE IS SUPOSED TO BE THE TEACHER LEADER BUT SHE JUST STOLES MONEY.
I THINK, LIKE MUST OF THE MEXICANS, THAT THIS IS JUST AWAY TO MAKE PEÑA NIETO LOOK GOOD; THAT HE DID SOMETHING FOR THE MEXICANS BUT WE ALL KNOW THAT THIS IS A LIE A, WAY OF COVERING OTHER THINGS.
SHE WILL NEVER BE IN JAIL SHE IS GOING TO BE IN HER HOUSE HAPPYIY ALONE AND RICH FOR EVER. WELL NOT ALONE BECAUSE SOME STUPIS PEOPLE STILL SUPORTING HER.

Facts
- “Skyfall” by Adele is the first song that reached the Top 10 on Billboard’s Hot 100 Singles to get a Best Song nomination since Eminem’s “Lose Yourself” in 2003.
- This is the second time in three years the Oscar host was also nominated for an award. Seth MacFarlane was nominated for co-writing the original song “Everybody Needs a Best Friend” from ‘Ted‘ while James Franco was nominated as Best Actor for ’127 Hours’ in 2011. This has happened seven other times including Michael Caine in 1973 and Walter Matthau in 1972.
- Every nominee is the Best Supporting Actor category – Christoph Waltz, Tommy Lee Jones, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Robert De Niro and Alan Arkin – have all won Oscars before.
- Janusz Kaminiski, nominated for Best Cinematography for ‘Lincoln,’ previously worked on the Vanilla Ice movie ‘Cool As Ice.’
- No actor or actress has ever won an Oscar for appearing in a Steven Spielberg movie.
- Quvenzhane Wallis and Emmanuelle Riva – at 9 and 85, respectively – are the oldest and youngest Best Actress nominees ever.
- Quvenzhane Wallis’ name is pronounced Kwe-VEN-zhah-nay.
- ‘Silver Linings Playbook‘ is the first film since 1982 to get nominations in all four acting categories. (That 1982 film was Warren Beatty’s ‘Reds.’)
- ‘The Simpsons‘ were nominated for their first Oscar for the animated short film ‘Maggie Simpson in “The Longest Daycare”‘ which ran before prints of ‘Ice Age: Continental Drift.’
- ‘The Dark Knight Rises’ is the first Christopher Nolan film since 2002′s ‘Insomnia’ not to receive a single Oscar nomination.
- Actress Scarlett Johansson isn’t nominated for an Oscar this year, but she’s close. The actress performs the Oscar-nominated song “Before My Time” in the documentary ‘Chasing Ice.’
Falls 

Jennifer Lawrence trips and falls on way up to accept Best Actress award.

MY OPINION

I think they were an amaizing Academy Awards because they were full of beautiful and horrible dresses and also they were falls and fails so nothing was missing.
