On February 12, the eyes of the whole country and the world were focused on Los Angeles and New York, and everyone was anxiously waiting for a vote, and members of the Writers Guild were voting in these two cities to decide the course of the strike drama.

After the final vote, at the press conference in Hollywood, the chairman of the Western Writers Guild of the United States, Wei Long, announced a good news that relieved all the nervous people: of the more than 37,000 people who participated in the vote, 92.5% advocated an end to the strike, and all screenwriters would retreat behind the scenes to continue their work.

Looking back on the more than 100 days of the screenwriters' strike, many people in the United States suddenly didn't know how to spend their free time. Turning on the TV, they can't see the soap operas that were once hit, and the repertoire is postponed indefinitely; When they came to the theater, they couldn't see the blockbuster movie that was planned, and the filming was postponed indefinitely; Even the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which shines with countless stars, has become a press conference.

Screenwriters, these people who were originally working silently behind the scenes, jumped on the stage at this time and staged a strike drama written, directed and acted by themselves in front of everyone, which strongly shook the entertainment industry in the United States and almost paralyzed the Hollywood entertainment industry with an annual profit of 30 billion US dollars.

Now it's finally over, the two sides decided to put aside their prejudices and work together, in this general strike, the major TV stations were hit the hardest, the loss of the film company has not yet been apparent, many blockbusters in preparation and production have postponed and suspended the release, and even "Avatar", which has nothing to do with this dime, has also postponed the release plan, Twentieth Century Fox knows that James Cameron is taking the opportunity to skip the ticket, but there is nothing to do, this guy does this kind of thing, it is by no means the first and last time.

In this strike turmoil, the best handling is MM, except for variety shows that cannot be broadcast, several ace dramas, none of them have been subordinated, monopolizing the screen, and the ratings are overwhelming the four major channels, and the blockbusters that are being prepared or released in the film company have not been taken down or suspended.

Therefore, in terms of movie box office in 2007, MM alone accounted for 2.1 billion of the $10 billion box office, ranking first.

In terms of earnings for the whole group, it is similar to the Disney Group, which integrated the MM television network this year, acquired Pixar, and created the world's largest IMXA cinema chain, MM Theater, and also sent an invitation to Rainbow Media Holdings Group to buy AMC Cinemas on the first working day of 2008.

Rainbow Media is one of the top 10 media companies in North America, with AMC TV and AMC Cinemas under its name.

AMC Cinemas is the world's second-largest cinema group, with revenues of about $2 billion in 2007, about 200 million moviegoers, and 321 theaters with a total of 5,028 screens. Among them, there are 10 IMAX screens and 920 3D screens, which is currently the world's largest IMAX and 3D screen operating company, and the theaters owned by AMC are concentrated in the center of large cities in North Mi, with 23 of the top 50 theaters with the highest box office in North Mi.

Once the acquisition is successful, MM Cinemas will become the world's largest cinema company, with an offer of US$2.8 billion for 100% of the shares, plus its foreign debt of US$1.1 billion.

According to Wall Street's "Pengbo Information", Rainbow Media, which has been affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and debt pressure, is very interested in this, and the two sides are in negotiations.

MM is the only group to make a big purchase of companies in the midst of the strike, and the impact of the strike is negligible, and they can live their lives however they want.

On the list of nominees for the 80th Oscars announced on January 22, Mark's "No Country for Old Men" and Paul Thomas Anderson's "Blood is Coming" are undoubtedly the biggest winners, with 8 nominations each, but the performance of the feature film "Michael Clayton" starring George Clooney is also eye-catching, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, it can be seen in almost every major unit, and "Michael Clayton" has received 7 nominations for " Atonement" occupies a place in the two main categories of Best Picture and Best Supporting Actress.

In addition to "Michael Clayton" and "Atonement", "No Country for Old Men," "Blood Is Coming" and "Juno" were also nominated for Best Picture.

This year's Oscar winner will be chosen between Daniel Day Lewis, George Clooney, John Depp, Tommy Lee Jones and Viggo Weaving. The Oscars, as in previous years, always bring surprises, and despite the acclaimed success of Tommy Lee Jones' "Battle of Elira Valley", it is difficult to find a trace at various award ceremonies, and the recognition of the Oscars finally makes up for the neglect of the film and the actors.

Eva Green, Ellen Page, Julie Christie, Kate Blanchet and Laura Linney will compete for the actress crown, and the Elf Queen was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in addition to being nominated for the actress.

Best Supporting Actor nominees include Javier Barton, Philip Seamuel Hoffman, Cassie Affleck, Hal Holbrooke, and Wigginson.

The five actors nominated for Best Supporting Actress are: Kate Blanchet, Ruby Dee, Saoirse Ronan, Amy Ryan, and Tilda Swinton.

Mark, Anderson, "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly" director Julian Schnabel, "Juno" director Jason Reitman and "Michael Clayton" director Gillo were nominated for Best Director for their respective works, but Mark is now a big favorite and is leading the way, like Daniel Day Lewis in the acting department, and he is crushing other opponents.

Two veteran actors who have never been nominated, 83-year-old Ruby Dee and 82-year-old Hal Holbrooke were nominated for Best Supporting Actor for "American Gangster" and "Out of the Wilderness" respectively, and finally realized their lifelong wish, but Javier, who was also nominated, is too strong, and the killer Anton is known as one of the top ten screen villains, and he also crushes the others.

There are joys and sorrows at the Oscars, and the most disappointed this year is "Atonement" director Joe Wright and the two leading actors Keira Knightley and James McEwo, who have not achieved an inch in the best director and acting unit, and Angelina Jolie, who performed well in "Strong Heart", and "Out of the Wilderness" director Sean Penn, who also suffered a cold shoulder and returned empty-handed.

According to the Oscar process: December 3, 2007

Submission of the official cast and crew, 26 December 2008 Nomination ballots mailed, 12 January 2008 Nomination ballots closed, 22 January 2008 final ballots mailed, 4 February 2008 Nominees Luncheon, group photo of all nominees, 9 February 2008 Science and Technology Awards Ceremony, 19 February 2008 Final Ballots Closed, 24 February 2008 80th Academy Awards.

The academy stipulates that once the nomination is announced, all public relations activities will be stopped immediately, and in previous years, no company complied with this rule, they just made it more subtle and low-key, because now it is starting to move to the stage of precision public relations.

This year, many companies thought that the Oscars could not be opened, and did not carry out public relations activities, and the college judges were also sought after and publicized by Youheng, which was very unhappy.

To put it mildly, everyone has been hungry and thirsty for several months, and if we don't take the opportunity to make a profit, will we wait until next year?

Hollywood suddenly became lively, returning to the old style of singing and dancing, and being drunk with money, and the academy turned a blind eye to this, who doesn't have a life to live? This annual Oscar is the best stage for the academy judges and celebrities to exert their influence, and if they miss it, it will be a huge loss.

MM has done the best job in public relations, and since the awards season began, their public relations activities have not stopped, because they know that the Oscars will not be stopped, there is no wait-and-see, no hesitation, and they will do what they want.

So after the Golden Globe Awards, whether it was "No Country for Old Men" or "Juno" and "La Vie en Rose", it suddenly became popular and became the biggest hit now.

Mark didn't hold himself up as a big name, he attended the nominee luncheon on February 4, took a photo with all the nominees, accepted an interview arranged by the official, and attended the official party, which was well done, full of gestures, and many old guys nodded, this Mark did a good job, if it weren't for being too young, too young, only twenty-five years old, this award would be nine out of ten.

The youngest nomineeJohn Singleton in 1991 (24 years old) was nominated for two Academy Awards for Best Director and Best Original Screenplay at the 68th Academy Awards

, the youngest winner of the 1931 (32-year-old) children's feature film "Skypie", won the 4th Academy Awards, Best Director.

Now the average age of the Oscar Best Director is forty-six years old, which is almost double Mark's age, this is not like the acting department, talent plus hard work, juvenile fame is not a luxury, the director needs artistic talent and life perception, which requires the accumulation of time.

The Hollywood Daily claimed: "Age is the biggest force that prevents Mark from winning the Best Director Award!"

The original Coen brothers, who have been in Hollywood for 30 years and have been recognized by Cannes three times, finally won the Best Picture and Best Director Award for "No Country for Old Men".

However, some people have objections, this is a movie, pay attention to talent and artistry, not moving bricks or nursing homes to fight the elderly, if it is vetoed by seniority, what awards will be held?
