You might not be that familiar with Axel Kuschevatzky's name. But if you're Latino and follow the Oscars you'll probably recognize his face. For years he's been presenting TNT's Academy Awards Preshow — next year will be his 30th — going toe to toe with Hollywood royalty on a regular basis.

You'll also be very familiar with other areas of his work. As well as being a force on screen, Axel has also made quite the impact behind it, producing an impressive (and growing) list of Latin American films and garnering three Oscar nominations and one win in the process. El Secreto de Sus Ojos (Secret in Their Eyes), Relatos Salvajes (Wild Tales), Argentina, 1985... Some of the biggest Latin American titles of the last two decades have Axel's imprint on them.
