Eric Roberts attends the Global Premiere Screening of “Babylon” at Academy Museum of Motion Pictures on December 15, 2022 in Los Angeles, California. Between the brick buildings and tree-lined streets of Augusta, Georgia, Oscar nominee Eric Roberts works on his next film. The star's arrival marks another step in the city's rise as a movie destination. The state's generous tax breaks make Georgia a smart choice for production companies. In 1985, Roberts earned his Academy Award nod for Runaway Train.
