The network is headquartered at the 20th Century Fox studio lot on Pico Boulevard in the Century City section of Los Angeles , with additional major offices and production facilities at the Fox Television Center in nearby West Los Angeles and the Fox Broadcasting Center in the Yorkville neighborhood of Manhattan , New York City . It is the third largest major television network in the world based on total revenues , assets , and international coverage .

The network is named after sister company 20th Century Fox , and indirectly for producer William Fox , who founded one of the movie studio 's predecessors , Fox Film .

The 1994 United States broadcast television realignment consisted of a series of network affiliation switches and other transactions that resulted from a multimillion-dollar deal between the Fox Broadcasting Company ( commonly known as simply Fox ) and New World Communications , a media group that -- in addition to its involvement in film and television production -- owned several VHF television stations affiliated with major broadcast networks , primarily CBS . The agreement between Fox and New World resulted not only in Fox affiliating with stations with histories as major network affiliates but also various other deals , most notably the buyout of CBS by Westinghouse , that caused several other broadcasting companies to reach affiliation deals that either extended ties with networks that were already aligned with some stations owned by the individual groups or created new relationships between at least one of the networks and the affected partner groups . The repercussions of this realignment were gradual but swift , with nearly 70 stations in 30 media markets throughout the United States changing affiliations between September 1994 and September 1996 . Fox ascended to the status of a major television network , comparable in influence to the Big Three television networks ( CBS , NBC and ABC ) , while CBS was dealt the major blows of losing both its partial broadcast rights to the National Football League ( NFL ) and key affiliates in several major markets to Fox . All three major networks also wound up affiliating with stations that broadcast on the UHF band in a few cases , the vast majority of which operated as either Fox affiliates or independent stations prior to the switches ; most of the new Big Three affiliates also created news departments from scratch or expanded their existing ones .

According to Lanford Beard of Entertainment Weekly , `` The Simpsons turned Fox from the little network that could into the little network that could not be ignored . '' The science fiction television series The X-Files also contributed to the network 's success , which led to two spin-offs Millennium and The Lone Gunmen . Fox began airing in high-definition on September 12 , 2004 , with a series of National Football League ( NFL ) American football games .

The 1994 United States broadcast television realignment consisted of a series of events , primarily involving affiliation switches between television stations , that resulted from a multimillion-dollar deal between the Fox Broadcasting Company ( commonly known as simply Fox ) and New World Communications , a media company that -- through its then-recently formed broadcasting division -- owned several VHF television stations affiliated with major broadcast television networks , primarily CBS . The major impetus for the changes was to allow Fox to improve its local affiliate coverage , in preparation for the commencement of its rights to the National Football Conference ( NFC ) television package , which the National Football League ( NFL ) awarded to the fledgling network in December 1993 . As a result of various other deals that followed as a result of the affiliation switches created by the deal between Fox and New World , most notably the buyout of CBS by Westinghouse , the switches constituted some of the most sweeping changes in American television history . As a result of this realignment , Fox ascended to the status of a major television network , comparable in influence to the Big Three television networks ( CBS , NBC and ABC ) . Nearly 70 stations in 30 media markets throughout the United States changed affiliations starting in September 1994 and continuing through September 1996 ( although an additional affiliation switch would occur in February 1997 , through the launch of an upstart station that gained its network partner through one of the ancillary deals ) , which -- along with the concurrent January 1995 launches of The WB Television Network ( a joint venture between Time Warner , the Tribune Company and the network 's founding chief executive officer , Jamie Kellner ) and the United Paramount Network ( UPN ) ( founded by Chris-Craft/United Television , through a programming partnership with Paramount Television ) , both of which affiliated with certain stations that lost their previous network partners through the various affiliation agreements -- marked some of the most expansive changes ever to have occurred in American television .

`` Nice Pete '' redirects here . For `` Nice Peter '' , the co-creator of Epic Rap Battles of History , see here Achewood is a webcomic created by Chris Onstad in 2001 . It portrays the lives of a group of anthropomorphic stuffed toys , robots , and pets . Many of the characters live together in the home of their owner , Chris , at the fictional address of 62 Achewood Court . The events of the strip mostly take place in and around the house , as well as around the town of Achewood , the fictional suburb which gives its name to the comic . The comic 's humor is most often absurdist , typically lacking a traditional set punchline , and very often moves to the highly surreal . The world of the strip is expansive , featuring many major and minor characters with detailed backstories , and often references previous events , making it an ongoing narrative . As Onstad is a food and cooking enthusiast , many Achewood strips contain some reference to food or drink . Originally published regularly , the comic began to skip days in late 2010 , and in March 2011 Onstad announced that Achewood would be going on indefinite hiatus . In November 2011 the comic returned , followed by an announcement in December that the hiatus was over . However , Chris Onstad has stated that no regular schedule will be in effect , and new strips have been sporadic . Chris Onstad indicated in 2012 his plans for pitching Achewood as an animated series . No further news has come on this front , and the comic itself was not updated between April 7 , 2014 and December 24 , 2015 . The strip returned on December 24 , 2015 and was updated most subsequent Fridays . On December 25 , 2016 , Onstad announced that the strip was again on hiatus .

History of art includes architecture, dance, sculpture, music, painting, poetry literature, theatre, narrative, film, photography and graphic arts.
|
The history of art is the history of any activity or product made by humans in a visual form for aesthetical or communicative purposes , expressing ideas , emotions or , in general , a worldview . Over time visual art has been classified in diverse ways , from the medieval distinction between liberal arts and mechanical arts , to the modern distinction between fine arts and applied arts , or to the many contemporary definitions , which define art as a manifestation of human creativity . The subsequent expansion of the list of principal arts in the 20th century reached to nine : architecture , dance , sculpture , music , painting , poetry ( described broadly as a form of literature with aesthetic purpose or function , which also includes the distinct genres of theatre and narrative ) , film , photography and graphic arts . In addition to the old forms of artistic expression such as fashion and gastronomy , new modes of expression are being considered as arts such as video , computer art , performance , advertising , animation , television and videogames . The history of art is a multidisciplinary branch of the arts and sciences , seeking an objective examination of art throughout time , classifying cultures , establishing periodizations , and observing the distinctive and influential characteristics of art . The study of the history of art was initially developed during the Renaissance , with its limited scope being the artistic production of Western civilization . However , as time has passed , it has imposed a broader view of artistic history , seeking a comprehensive overview of all the civilizations and analysis of their artistic production in terms of their own cultural values ( cultural relativism ) , and not just western art history . Today , art enjoys a wide network of study , dissemination and preservation of all the artistic legacy of mankind throughout history . The 20th century has seen the proliferation of institutions , foundations , art museums and galleries , in both the public and private sectors , dedicated to the analysis and cataloging of works of art as well as exhibitions aimed at a mainstream audience . The rise of media has been crucial in improving the study and dissemination of art . International events and exhibitions like the Whitney Biennial and biennales of Venice and São Paulo or the Documenta of Kassel have helped the development of new styles and trends . Prizes such as the Turner of the Tate Gallery , the Wolf Prize in Arts , the Pritzker Prize of architecture , the Pulitzer of photography and the Oscar of cinema also promote the best creative work on an international level . Institutions like UNESCO , with the establishment of the World Heritage Site lists , also help the conservation of the major monuments of the planet .

The arts is a general term for the theory and physical expression of creativity found in human societies and cultures . Major constituents of the arts include literature -- including poetry , novels and short stories , and epic poetry ; performing arts -- among them music , dance , and theatre ; culinary arts such as baking , chocolatiering , and winemaking ; media arts like photography and cinematography , and visual arts -- including drawing , painting , ceramics , and sculpting . Some art forms combine a visual element with performance ( e.g. film ) or artwork with the written word ( e.g. comics ) . From prehistoric cave paintings to modern day films , art serves as a vessel for storytelling and conveying humankind 's relationship with its environment .

Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual , auditory or performing artifacts ( artworks ) , expressing the author 's imaginative or technical skill , intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power . In their most general form these activities include the production of works of art , the criticism of art , the study of the history of art , and the aesthetic dissemination of art . The oldest documented forms of art are visual arts , which include creation of images or objects in fields including painting , sculpture , printmaking , photography , and other visual media . Architecture is often included as one of the visual arts ; however , like the decorative arts , or advertising , it involves the creation of objects where the practical considerations of use are essential -- in a way that they usually are not in a painting , for example . Music , theatre , film , dance , and other performing arts , as well as literature and other media such as interactive media , are included in a broader definition of art or the arts . Until the 17th century , art referred to any skill or mastery and was not differentiated from crafts or sciences . In modern usage after the 17th century , where aesthetic considerations are paramount , the fine arts are separated and distinguished from acquired skills in general , such as the decorative or applied arts . Art may be characterized in terms of mimesis ( its representation of reality ) , expression , communication of emotion , or other qualities . During the Romantic period , art came to be seen as `` a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science '' . Though the definition of what constitutes art is disputed and has changed over time , general descriptions mention an idea of imaginative or technical skill stemming from human agency and creation . The nature of art and related concepts , such as creativity and interpretation , are explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics .

Dance is a performing art form consisting of purposefully selected sequences of human movement . This movement has aesthetic and symbolic value , and is acknowledged as dance by performers and observers within a particular culture . Dance can be categorized and described by its choreography , by its repertoire of movements , or by its historical period or place of origin . An important distinction is to be drawn between the contexts of theatrical and participatory dance , although these two categories are not always completely separate ; both may have special functions , whether social , ceremonial , competitive , erotic , martial , or sacred/liturgical . Other forms of human movement are sometimes said to have a dance-like quality , including martial arts , gymnastics , cheerleading , figure skating , synchronized swimming , marching bands , and many other forms of athletics .
|
Performing arts are a form of art in which artists use their voices and/or their bodies , often in relation to other objects , to convey artistic expression .

The visual arts are art forms such as ceramics , drawing , painting , sculpture , printmaking , design , crafts , photography , video , filmmaking , and architecture . Many artistic disciplines ( performing arts , conceptual art , textile arts ) involve aspects of the visual arts as well as arts of other types . Also included within the visual arts are the applied arts such as industrial design , graphic design , fashion design , interior design and decorative art . Current usage of the term `` visual arts '' includes fine art as well as the applied , decorative arts and crafts , but this was not always the case . Before the Arts and Crafts Movement in Britain and elsewhere at the turn of the 20th century , the term ` artist ' was often restricted to a person working in the fine arts ( such as painting , sculpture , or printmaking ) and not the handicraft , craft , or applied art media . The distinction was emphasized by artists of the Arts and Crafts Movement , who valued vernacular art forms as much as high forms . Art schools made a distinction between the fine arts and the crafts , maintaining that a craftsperson could not be considered a practitioner of the arts . The increasing tendency to privilege painting , and to a lesser degree sculpture , above other arts has been a feature of Western art as well as East Asian art . In both regions painting has been seen as relying to the highest degree on the imagination of the artist , and the furthest removed from manual labour -- in Chinese painting the most highly valued styles were those of `` scholar-painting '' , at least in theory practiced by gentleman amateurs . The Western hierarchy of genres reflected similar attitudes .

Arts and entertainment in India have had their course shaped by a synthesis of indigenous and foreign influences that have consequently shaped the course of the arts of the rest of Asia , since ancient times . Arts refer to paintings , architecture , literature , music , dance , languages and cinema . In early India , most of the arts were derived Vedic influences . After the birth of contemporary Hinduism , Jainism , Buddhism , and Sikhism arts flourished under the patronage of kings and emperors . The coming of Islam spawned a whole new era of Indian architecture and art . Finally the British brought their own Gothic and Roman influences and fused it with the Indian style . They have a culture infusion in their art .

An epic is traditionally a genre of poetry , known as epic poetry . However , in modern terms , epic is often extended to describing other art forms , such as epic theatre , films , music , novels , stage play , television series , and video games , wherein the story has a theme of grandeur and heroism , just as in epic poetry . Scholars argue that the epic has long since become `` disembedded '' from its origins in oral poetry , appearing in successive narrative media throughout history .

Narrative art is art that tells a story , either as a moment in an ongoing story or as a sequence of events unfolding over time . Some of the earliest evidence of human art suggests that people told stories with pictures . However , without some knowledge of the story being told it is very hard to read ancient pictures because they are not organized in a systematic way like words on a page , but rather can unfold in many different directions at once . Static images in any artistic medium do not naturally lend themselves to telling stories as stories are told over time ( diachronic ) and pictures are seen all at once ( synchronic ) . Although there are some common features to all narrative art , different cultures have developed idiosyncratic ways to discern narrative action from pictures . Prior to the advent of literacy most narrative art was done in a simultaneous narrative style with very little overarching organization . Once literacy developed in different parts of the world pictures began to be organized along register lines , like lines on a page , that helped define the direction of the narrative . This method of linking scenes together led to other ways of telling stories in the 20th century , namely the newspaper , comic strips and comic books . In painting in traditional Western art since the Renaissance , the concept of history painting covers most narrative scenes . Narrative is generally easier to represent in painting and relief in sculpture than in sculpture in the round , where depicting several figures becomes complicated , though the Roman Sperlonga sculptures are a lavish exception .

Art history is the study of objects of art in their historical development and stylistic contexts , i.e. genre , design , format , and style . This includes the `` major '' arts of painting , sculpture , and architecture as well as the `` minor '' arts of ceramics , furniture , and other decorative objects . As a term , art history ( its product being history of art ) encompasses several methods of studying the visual arts ; in common usage referring to works of art and architecture . Aspects of the discipline overlap . As the art historian Ernst Gombrich once observed , `` the field of art history -LSB- is -RSB- much like Caesar 's Gaul , divided in three parts inhabited by three different , though not necessarily hostile tribes : ( i ) the connoisseurs , ( ii ) the critics , and ( iii ) the academic art historians '' . As a discipline , art history is distinguished from art criticism , which is concerned with establishing a relative artistic value upon individual works with respect to others of comparable style , or sanctioning an entire style or movement ; and art theory or `` philosophy of art '' , which is concerned with the fundamental nature of art . One branch of this area of study is aesthetics , which includes investigating the enigma of the sublime and determining the essence of beauty . Technically , art history is not these things , because the art historian uses historical method to answer the questions : How did the artist come to create the work ? , Who were the patrons ? , Who were his or her teachers ? , Who was the audience ? , Who were his or her disciples ? , What historical forces shaped the artist 's oeuvre , and How did he or she and the creation , in turn , affect the course of artistic , political , and social events ? It is , however , questionable whether many questions of this kind can be answered satisfactorily without also considering basic questions about the nature of art . Unfortunately the current disciplinary gap between art history and the philosophy of art ( aesthetics ) often hinders this inquiry . Art history is not only a biographical endeavor . Art historians often root their studies in the scrutiny of individual objects . They thus attempt to answer in historically specific ways , questions such as : What are key features of this style ? , What meaning did this object convey ? , How does it function visually ? , Did the artist meet their goals well ? , What symbols are involved ? , and Does it function discursively ? The historical backbone of the discipline is a celebratory chronology of beautiful creations commissioned by public or religious bodies or wealthy individuals in western Europe . Such a `` canon '' remains prominent , as indicated by the selection of objects present in art history textbooks . Nonetheless , since the 20th century there has been an effort to re-define the discipline to be more inclusive of non-Western art , art made by women , and vernacular creativity .

A work of art is an aesthetic physical item or artistic creation . Work of art or Work of Art also may refer to :
|
A work of art can be analysed by considering a variety of aspects of it individually . These aspects are often called the elements of art . A commonly used list of the main elements include form , shape , line , color , value , space and texture .

The arts of China ( Chinese : 中國藝術 / 中国艺术 ) have varied throughout its ancient history , divided into periods by the ruling dynasties of China and changing technology , but still containing a high degree of continuity . Different forms of art have been influenced by great philosophers , teachers , religious figures and even political leaders . The arrival of Buddhism and modern Western influence produced especially large changes . Chinese art encompasses fine arts , folk arts and performance arts .
|
Art historians and philosophers of art have long had classificatory disputes about art regarding whether a particular cultural form or piece of work should be classified as art . Disputes about what does and does not count as art continue to occur today .
|
Throughout history , forms of art have gone through periodic abrupt changes called artistic revolutions . Movements have come to an end to be replaced by a new movement markedly different in striking ways . See also cultural movements .

Accounting or accountancy is the measurement , processing and communication of financial information about economic entities such as businesses and corporations . The modern field was established by the Italian mathematician Luca Pacioli in 1494 . Accounting , which has been called the `` language of business '' , measures the results of an organization 's economic activities and conveys this information to a variety of users , including investors , creditors , management , and regulators . Practitioners of accounting are known as accountants . The terms `` accounting '' and `` financial reporting '' are often used as synonyms . Accounting can be divided into several fields including financial accounting , management accounting , external auditing , tax accounting and cost accounting . Accounting information systems are designed to support accounting functions and related activities . Financial accounting focuses on the reporting of an organization 's financial information , including the preparation of financial statements , to external users of the information , such as investors , regulators and suppliers ; and management accounting focuses on the measurement , analysis and reporting of information for internal use by management . The recording of financial transactions , so that summaries of the financials may be presented in financial reports , is known as bookkeeping , of which double-entry bookkeeping is the most common system . Accounting is facilitated by accounting organizations such as standard-setters , accounting firms and professional bodies . Financial statements are usually audited by accounting firms , and are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ( GAAP ) . GAAP is set by various standard-setting organizations such as the Financial Accounting Standards Board ( FASB ) in the United States and the Financial Reporting Council in the United Kingdom . As of 2012 , `` all major economies '' have plans to converge towards or adopt the International Financial Reporting Standards ( IFRS ) .

In the 2000s , Boston 's professional teams had arguably the most successful decade in sports history , winning ten championships ( five by the Patriots , three by the Red Sox and one each by the Celtics and Bruins ) . When the Bruins won the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , the city of Boston became the first city in the 21st century to have all four of its major professional league teams win a league championship , and it is the only city ever to have championships in all four major professional leagues within a ten-year span ( from the Patriots ' victory in February 2002 to the Bruins ' in June 2011 ) . In just ten years , between February 2002 and June 2011 , Boston 's teams completed what Sports Illustrated dubbed as the `` Grand Slam of North American sports . '' With the Patriots ' victory over the Seattle Seahawks in Super Bowl XLIX , the four major Boston-area sports teams completed a grand-slam in six years ( the 2008 Celtics , the 2011 Bruins , the 2013 Red Sox and the 2014 Patriots ) . Beyond that , several of the teams were league finalists : the Revolution four times , the Patriots twice and the Bruins and Celtics once apiece . With the Bruins reaching the 2011 Stanley Cup Finals , this allowed Boston to join Philadelphia as being the only cities to have had all of their teams play in each of the four major North American professional sports leagues ' title rounds since 2000 , following the Patriots in Super Bowls XXXVI in 2002 , XXXVIII in 2004 , XXXIX in 2005 , XLII in 2008 , XLVI in 2012 , XLIX in 2015 , and LI in 2017 and winning all of them , except Super Bowl XLII and XLVI , the Red Sox winning World Series titles in ( ending the Curse of the Bambino ) , , and , and the Celtics in the NBA Finals in and and winning in 2008 . In addition , Boston beat out Philadelphia for playing in all of the `` big '' league championship rounds in the shortest time in the new millennium , as it took 9 years for Philadelphia to achieve this feat ; Boston needed only three years and eight months . From 2004 to 2015 , all four Boston major league teams have each reached the championship rounds two times or more .

The Celtics -- Raptors rivalry is a National Basketball Association ( NBA ) rivalry between the Boston Celtics and the Toronto Raptors . Over the last two full seasons , plus the first third of this one , the Raptors hold a 7-3 advantage over the Celtics . Last night the Raptors beat the Celtics after a stirring comeback in the second half . At one point Toronto was down 16 points ( in the second quarter ) ; later they faced a nine-point deficit in the fourth . There were stretches that looked mighty grim . Until , that is , a couple of Raptors -- mainly DeMar DeRozan and Jonas Valanciunas , with an assist from Kyle Lowry -- decided to put the team on their metaphorical backs and save the day . Before the game , the word `` rivalry '' was tossed around -- mostly by reporters -- in relation to the nascent competitive grudge between Boston and Toronto . Both teams are in the Atlantic division ( which admittedly means nothing these days ) and both have been on similar ascendant timelines . The Raptors turnaround began in late 2013 , while the Celtics started their climb into relevance the following season . Both teams have respected and long ( ish ) tenured coaches -- Brad Stevens is in his fourth year in Boston , Dwane Casey working on his sixth in Toronto . Both , most importantly , have a solid identity and aspirations for greater success . ( And , it goes without saying , but : both have little chance of beating LeBron James and Cavaliers in any significant way as currently constructed . ) Category : Toronto Raptors Category : Boston Celtics

The Ten Commandments is a 1923 American silent religious , epic film and produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille . Written by Jeanie MacPherson , the film is divided into two parts : a prologue recreating the biblical story of the Exodus and a modern story concerning two brothers and their respective views of the Ten Commandments . Lauded for its `` immense and stupendous '' scenes , use of Technicolor process 2 , and parting of the Red Sea sequence , the expensive film proved to be a box-office hit upon release . It is the first in DeMille 's biblical trilogy , followed by The King of Kings ( 1927 ) and The Sign of the Cross ( 1932 ) .

The Ten Commandments is a Brazilian movie of 2016 released by Rede Record in association with Paris Filmes . The film is an adaptation of the eponymous television series presented by Rede Record in 2015 , with new footage and different developments of which were shown in its last chapter on television . The adaptation was written by Vivian de Oliveira and directed by Alexandre Avancini , with the same cast as the soap opera . The film was widely released by Universal Church of the Kingdom of God ( UCKG ) , but a news report in São Paulo showed empty screening rooms at the premiere of the film , despite the tickets sold at the box office . It was reported that in Recife a single buyer associated with the UCKG bought all the tickets for all showings of the film in its first two weeks , more than 20,700 tickets . UCKG officially denied the negative reports about the film . During pre-order the film broke several records . In two weeks more than 2 million tickets were sold , and it was also shown at more screens in Brazil , over 1,000 , than any previous film . However , it was poorly received by critics . The UCKG was criticised for heavily promoting the film at their services , and asking those attending for money to buy tickets for those who could not afford them ; pastors at church services distributed envelopes with the Ten Commandments logo , and asked for them to be filled with money and returned to help the `` cause '' , interspersed with stressing the importance of tithing 10 % of salary , plus extra donations , every month .

The Ten Commandments ( Italian : I dieci comandamenti ) is a 1945 Italian drama film directed by Giorgio Walter Chili . It features an ensemble of Italian actors in episodes based on the Ten Commandments . It was made during the German occupation of Rome , which brought a halt to all ongoing work at Italian film studios . Only two films made with Vatican support went into production at the time , providing employment for actors and technicians . The other film was Vittorio De Sica 's The Gates of Heaven . Their work on the films enabled them to refuse demands that they relocate north to work in the Venice-based film industry of the puppet Italian Social Republic . The lengthy production process meant that it was n't released until long after Rome had been liberated by Allied forces .

The Ten Commandments , also known as the Decalogue , are a set of biblical laws relating to ethics and worship , which play a fundamental role in Judaism , Christianity , and Islam . The commandments include instructions to worship only God , to honour one 's parents , and to keep the sabbath , as well as prohibitions against idolatry , blasphemy , murder , adultery , theft , dishonesty , and coveting . Different religious groups follow different traditions for interpreting and numbering them . The Ten Commandments appear twice in the Hebrew Bible , in the books of Exodus and Deuteronomy . Modern scholarship has found likely influences in Hittite and Mesopotamian laws and treaties , but is divided over exactly when the Ten Commandments were written and who wrote them .

Cecil Blount DeMille ( -LSB- 's ɛsəl_dəˈmɪl -RSB- August 12 , 1881 -- January 21 , 1959 ) was an American filmmaker . Between 1913 and 1956 , he made a total of 70 features , both silent and sound films . He is acknowledged as a founding father of the cinema of the United States and the most commercially successful producer-director in film history . His films were distinguished by their epic scale and by his cinematic showmanship . He made silent films of every genre : social dramas , comedies , Westerns , farces , morality plays , and historical pageants . DeMille began his career as a stage actor in 1900 . He later moved to writing and directing stage productions , some with Jesse Lasky , who was then a vaudeville producer . DeMille 's first film , The Squaw Man ( 1914 ) , was also the first feature film shot in Hollywood . Its interracial love story made it a phenomenal hit and it `` put Hollywood on the map . '' The continued success of his productions led to the founding of Paramount Pictures with Lasky and Adolph Zukor . His first biblical epic , The Ten Commandments ( 1923 ) , was both a critical and financial success ; it held the Paramount revenue record for twenty-five years . In 1927 he directed The King of Kings , a biography of Jesus of Nazareth , which was acclaimed for its sensitivity and reached more than 800 million viewers . The Sign of the Cross ( 1932 ) was the first sound film to integrate all aspects of cinematic technique . Cleopatra ( 1934 ) was his first film to be nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture . After more than thirty years in film production , DeMille reached the pinnacle of his career with Samson and Delilah ( 1949 ) , a biblical epic which did `` an all-time record business . '' Along with biblical and historical narratives , he also directed films oriented toward `` neo-naturalism , '' which tried to portray the laws of man fighting the forces of nature . He went on to receive his first nomination for the Academy Award for Best Director for his circus drama The Greatest Show on Earth ( 1952 ) , which won the Academy Award for Best Picture . His last and most famous film , The Ten Commandments ( 1956 ) , is currently the sixth-highest-grossing film of all time , adjusted for inflation . In addition to his Best Picture Award , he received an Academy Honorary Award for his film contributions , the Palme d'Or ( posthumously ) for Union Pacific , a DGA Award for Lifetime Achievement , and the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award . He was also the first recipient of the Golden Globe Cecil B. DeMille Award , which was later named in his honor .

Principal photography took place at an abandoned monastery in Azrou , Morocco with careful attention to authenticity .

The Powers of Ten films are two short American documentary films written and directed by Charles and Ray Eames . Both works depict the relative scale of the Universe according to an order of magnitude ( or logarithmic scale ) based on a factor of ten , first expanding out from the Earth until the entire universe is surveyed , then reducing inward until a single atom and its quarks are observed . The first film : A Rough Sketch for a Proposed Film Dealing with the Powers of Ten and the Relative Size of Things in the Universe -- was a prototype and was completed in 1968 ; the second film : Powers of Ten : A Film Dealing with the Relative Size of Things in the Universe and the Effect of Adding Another Zero -- was completed in 1977 . The Powers of Ten films were adaptations of the book Cosmic View ( 1957 ) by Dutch educator Kees Boeke . Both films , and a book based on the second film , follow the form of the Boeke original , adding color and photography to the black and white drawings employed by Boeke in his seminal work . The 1977 film has a number of changes from the prototype , including being entirely in color , moving the starting location from Miami to Chicago , removing the relativistic ( time ) dimension , introducing an additional two powers of ten at each extreme , a change in narrator from Judith Bronowski to Philip Morrison , and much improved graphics . In 1998 , Powers of Ten ( 1977 ) was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant '' .
