The Terminal (2004)

Oscar cred Tom Hanks (5 nominations, 2 wins); Steven Spielberg (7 nominations, 3 wins)
What about Diego? One of the most charming aspects of this airport-bound dramedy is Viktor Navorski's (Hanks) matchmaking efforts for a food-service employee and the immigration officer he pines for. Who's the dashing burger flipper? Luna, of course.

Open Range (2003)

Oscar cred Annette Bening (2 nominations); Kevin Costner (2 nominations, 1 win); Robert Duvall (6 nominations, 1 win)
What about Diego? In this underrated Western, Luna travels the plains alongside grizzled ranchers Duvall and Costner. His Button is a greenhorn hired hand who would rather play with the dog than herd the cattle.

Frida (2002)

Oscar cred Geoffrey Rush (3 nominations, 1 win)
What about Diego? In this brightly colored swath of a biopic, Luna makes a heartbreaking impression as Kahlo's (Salma Hayek) spineless boyfriend Alejandro -- opposite such talent as Rush and Alfred Molina, no less. Younger man/older, tragic woman... Uh-oh. Are we seeing a pattern?

Before Night Falls (2000)

Oscar cred Javier Bardem (1 nomination); Johnny Depp (1 nomination)
What about Diego? It's Bardem's breakout role, and Depp provides his usual eye-catching work, but it also introduced Luna to U.S. audiences. That he's continued to act opposite so many award-winning performers speaks to a bright future. Bright and shiny -- like a certain little gold man.
