Chapter 462: The List Is Revealed
The voting for the Oscar nominations has ended, and the organizing committee is counting the final results.
Ten days later, the list will be revealed.
In the past few days, many entertainment newspapers have been predicting the list of nominees for this year's Oscars, as for the explosive theory...... This is a professional topic, and most of the entertainment pages are simple reports and will not delve into it.
But on this day, February 6, the Los Angeles Times, The New Yorker, The Hollywood Reporter, Entertainment Weekly and other newspapers and magazines all published a big photo!
Tang En was wearing a red doctor's gown, a black top hat, and a large certificate in each hand, accompanied by two old guys, a man and a woman, and took a group photo cordially.
The Los Angeles News did a special report on this -
"A few days ago, the famous Hollywood director Donn Walker received the title of "Honorary Doctorate" of "Film Studies" from the School of Film and Television of the University of Southern California and "Honorary Doctorate of American Literature" from the School of Drama, so far, he will become the first "alumnus" in the history of USC to receive the title of "Honorary Doctorate". ”
"USC is home to one of the most prestigious film art schools in the United States, with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis, Ron Howard, David Volpe, and many other famous directors. This time, Hollywood's famous director Donn Walker also entered the USC family!"
It is reported that Donn Walker's donation of $120 million to USC to build a new modern academic building to promote the development of high-end technology in the film industry has been deeply appreciated by the USC Board of Trustees and the School of Motion Picture Arts. ”
"If the donation goes through, Donn Walker will surpass Steven Spielberg as the second-largest celebrity in USC history after George Lucas......"
Universities in Europe and the United States, especially private universities, often award honorary titles to some celebrities who have made important contributions in order to enhance their reputation and social status.
For example, Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard when he was young and lost his bachelor's degree, but after becoming famous, he ...... He became an honorary doctor from Harvard.
Dr. Hu in the 40s was even more exaggerated, with thousands of favors in one, and thousands of famous schools rushed to give him honors, as if he had the style of "the first Chinese in the world".
Don's honor has little impact on the academic world, after all, it is an honorary title, but it is a great improvement for personal qualifications. And a double Ph.D. in literature and film!
That night, when Donn came home, he made a stink call to the girls and called Natalie, "Hello Mr. Portman, it's Dr. Walker talking to you right now." ”
"Stinky beauty!"
Natalie smiled back.
Tang En smiled: "By the way, how are you practicing?"
"Okay, my roommates can sing now. ”
"Okay, let's get back some time, let's go record the song. ”
Natalie asked, "Is it so urgent?"
Tang En said: ""Spider-Man 2" has entered the publicity period, after recording the song, this is a wave of explosive publicity." Besides, in half a month, it will be the Oscar nomination luncheon. ”
"Huh?" Natalie's voice was pleasantly surprised, "you...... You're saying I've been nominated?"
Tang En laughed and said, "Stupid, you have no confidence in me so much?"
"Wow, honey, I love you! I love you! I love you!" Natalie shouted excitedly, this is an Oscar nomination, one of the five best actresses in the world!
Don smiled and said, "It's useless to talk about it, you have to show it." ”
Natalie pursed her lips and said, "What do you want?"
"For example...... Hey. Don lowered his voice, "For example, when you come back, call Scarlett, and the three of us will have a good intimacy." ”
"Phew, Bah, I know there's nothing good going on in your head!"
……
On February 13th, the list of nominees for the 74th Oscars was officially announced!
As predicted by many media, the hit film "A Beautiful Mind" was the biggest winner, with a total of 8 nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Makeup, and Best Soundtrack.
However, the focus of everyone's attention is not "A Beautiful Mind", but "Juno"!
Done Walker bombarded the Golden Globes for engaging in a dark box operation, and there was an unfair selection of actors, although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone knew that he was complaining about his girlfriend Natalie Portman.
The attitude of the Golden Globe Awards is very strong, believing that Natalie's acting skills are not enough to be nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Category, and the Golden Globe Awards are very fair, and there is no insider of favoritism.
Now, the entertainment media throughout the United States is closely watching the announcement of the Oscar nominees.
Natalie Portman, is it qualified enough?
Outcome......
Dance of Death Row Inmates, Harry Berry;
"Hand in Hand," Judi Dench;
"Diary of a Bachelor," Renee Zellweger;
"Love No Matter or Nothing", Sissi Spicek;
"Juno", Natalie Portman!
It's really on the list!
For a while, various media outlets turned their guns on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, believing that they were indeed suspected of manipulating the Golden Globe Awards.
The most authoritative Oscars are all on the platform for Natalie Portman, what else do you have to say?
Oscar for Best Actress, a total of 5 places, including Natalie;
The Golden Globe Award for Best Actress is divided into drama and musical, comedy, a total of 10 places, but there is no Natalie's name.
There's nothing greasy in this, who believes it?
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association hurriedly held a press conference, first refusing to admit it, and then explaining again and again that each award has different judging criteria, and the selection process of the Golden Globe Awards is based on the votes of the judges, and there is no insider ......
……
Lorenzo Soria, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, was calling Kirk Douglas and was very indignant: "You promised me! You promised me! This incident has caused irreparable discrediting of the image of the Golden Globes!"
Kirk Douglas had a calm that was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, and said lightly: "What's the matter? Isn't it just a nomination, is it necessary to be so gaffe?"
"A nomination? You say it's easy!" Lorenzo Soria was about to blow up, only to realize that dealing with such an old bastard was a stupid thing, "The Golden Globes are going to be finished! It's going to be over! And the reason for all this is you! It's you!"
Kirk Douglas said coldly: "I can't talk nonsense! I'm just a retired Hollywood filmmaker, not a foreign correspondent, and I don't have the right to vote." ”
"You!"
Lorenzo Soria's shamelessness towards him had a kind of anger like a nuclear bomb explosion.
Kirk Douglas said lightly: "Okay, since the matter has happened, hurry up and deal with it, instead of complaining like a woman." I watched your press conference and explained it very well. Cinema is art, and since it is art, everyone has their own love. Oscar likes that little girl's performance, and the Golden Globe Award can't be seen, which is normal. ”
Lorenzo Soria gritted his teeth and said, "But we've offended Don Walker!
The corners of Kirk Douglas's mouth curled, "What? The Golden Globe Awards have been developed for decades, and the foundation and connections are not as good as a crazy boy? Old man, where is your self-confidence?"
Lorenzo Soria was so angry that he almost vomited blood, "Crazy boy, in this case, that's easy, if the Golden Globe can't last, I'll tell the media that you are behind all this, and the Golden Globe is just a gun!"
Kirk Douglas's face sank, "Are you threatening me?"
"I'm not threatening you, I'm just looking for a way out for the Ballon d'Or. Lorenzo Soria didn't give up.
Kirk Douglas said coldly: "Do you think this will save the credibility of the Golden Globe Award? Let me tell you, if the Golden Globe Award wants to live, you have to fight with Donne Walker to the end! Once you admit the stain of the dark box operation, the Golden Globe Award will be completely finished!"
Lorenzo Soria was speechless with rage.
Kirk Douglas smiled slightly, and said lightly: "It's still that sentence, it's just a nomination, you have 10,000 reasons to explain, as long as that little girl can't win the award, you can't move the foundation of the Golden Globe Award." ”
"Can you guarantee that? What guarantee do you take?"
"I'll take my life as collateral!"
Kirk Douglas's tone was incomparably upright.
This time, he was full of confidence!
No matter how good Natalie's acting skills are, it is impossible to change the main theme. ()
