1981: The drama "Reds," starring and directed by Warren Beatty, opens in theaters. The movie, which also stars Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson, tells the life story of John Reed, the revolutionary communist, journalist and writer who chronicled the Russian Revolution in his book "Ten Days that Shook the World." The movie would earn 12 Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor and Actress for Beatty and Keaton, but would win only three, including a Best Director Oscar for Beatty.
