These movies were so popular they made him famous all over the world!

Baz's movies are special because they feel like a roller coaster of fun! He uses music that makes you want to dance and costumes that are super fancy. He's known for making movies like 'Moulin Rouge!' and 'The Great Gatsby,' which are filled with amazing songs and dazzling scenes.

He's so good at making music for his movies that the soundtracks for 'Moulin Rouge!' and 'The Great Gatsby' were nominated for Grammy Awards, which are like the biggest music awards. He even has his own record label to help make sure the music in his films is just right.
