	Actors - Broadcast News

Broadcast News is a 1987 romantic comedy about a brilliant yet prickly reporter (Albert Brooks), his charming but admittedly far less seasoned rival (William Hurt), and their virtuoso producer (Holly Hunter), who has daily emotional breakdowns. It also stars Robert Prosky, Lois Chiles and Joan Cusack, with an uncredited cameo by Jack Nicholson.

The movie was written, produced and directed by James L. Brooks.

The events depicted in the movie closely parallel and satirize the 1984 mass layoffs ("downsizing") that occurred at CBS News. Longtime CBS Evening News producer Susan Zirinsky was a technical advisor on the film.

It was nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor in a Leading Role (William Hurt), Best Actor in a Supporting Role (Albert Brooks), Best Actress in a Leading Role (Holly Hunter), Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Picture and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen.
