Chapter 1298 Hollywood Heights Center
『Chapter error, click here to report』
This year's Oscars are held at the Hollywood Highland Center. Why not at the Kodak Theatre? Consider that the Oscars have been the only awards venue since 2001.
The reason is simple, that is, Kodak is bankrupt and has no money to pay for the huge naming rights.
It's really a lot of naming fees, 74 million US dollars in 20 years, and then 3.6 million yuan per year alone. So in this year's Oscars, the name of the Kodak Theater will no longer appear, but will be changed to Hollywood Highland Center.
But don't worry, in May 2012, the theater will have a new owner, Dolby Experiments, and the theater will be changed to the Dolby Theater.
This time it was still signed for 20 years, and by the way, the Oscars were also renewed for another 20 years. So until 2033, the Oscars will continue to be held in this theater.
This year's host is Billy Christo, who is hosting for the 9th time. He is a very versatile actor who has served as a screenwriter, director, producer, etc., and has done a great job. Because of the nature of his father's work, he has been eloquent since he was young and has participated in many talk shows.
At the beginning of the ceremony, he skewered the ten films nominated for Best Picture into his own songs by singing. By the way, he also teased director Martin, thinking that the movie he made this time was completely different from his past. Everyone knows that director Martin is the best at it, and the most he makes is dark films like gangsters, and "Hugo", that is a fairy tale, okay?
There are ten films on this year's list of best pictures, except for a few that were popular from the beginning, such as "The Artist", such as "The Descendant", such as "War Horse" and Leila's "Silence", and a few films that Leila didn't care about on it.
For the first time this year, the Oscars have expanded their list of nominees to ten. It is said that I hope to promote more and better works.
As long as it is nominated for the Oscar, the popularity and sales of the film will have a very big increase, which is well known, otherwise who would regard the Oscar as a grand event in the film industry?
I believe that after today, these ten nominees for the best films, as well as the films that appear in the other winners' lists, will have skyrocketed profits.
The first award was Best Cinematography, and the name "Silence" was prominently listed. In competition with it, the names of "The Artist", "Hugo" and "War Horse" appeared without accident, followed by "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Tree of Life".
Speaking of which, the first three names are simply visually tiring.
Leila's feelings about the mime film "The Artist" can only be considered average. Rather than nostalgic black-and-white mime, she prefers more advanced and progressive shooting. The times are advancing, and so are the movies, if we stay where we are and don't move forward, how much will the charm of the movie be lost? Is there anything fans can look forward to?
It can't be denied that the story of "The Artist" is still a bit interesting, but Lyra feels that if she uses a shooting technique that is in line with the era, it may not necessarily be worse than that.
But if you think about it carefully, if you really lose the two elements of mime and black and white, maybe this movie will not reach the impact it has caused today.
Artistic value? No kidding!
At best, it's just a sentimental sale.
But no one can say that he is wrong, no matter what he sells, if someone eats this set, he is the winner. Now it seems that not only the Oscars eat this set, but the entire Hollywood awards of all sizes eat this set, which will make this film and Martin's "Hugo" equal in the awards season.
"The winner is Robert Richardson ...... Hugo!"
There was a round of applause from the audience, as well as an introduction to the photographer. The gray-haired man has been nominated for the 7th time, including 3 awards, and it can be said that he has an absolute advantage compared to other candidates.
Leila thought back to her nomination, frowning slightly.
The two films received 12 nominations, but that doesn't mean she can get a maximum of 12 trophies, because the best director and best editing coincide.
At this moment, the best photography was lost, and she felt uncomfortable, as if her precious things had been snatched away by someone else.
She has great hopes for this "Silence", 6 nominations seem to others to be a lot, but in her eyes it can only be regarded as barely good. She feels that her work deserves more recognition. Let's take photography as an example, her royal photographer is also a figure who has won an Oscar, and her performance this time is even more remarkable. But this well-deserved award was snatched away by others.
After losing the two most important awards from the Golden Globes, she doesn't seem to have too many negative emotions, but in fact, she has been secretly unhappy all the time. was holding back her efforts to win the honor of "Silence" at the more professional Oscars, but who knew that the first award would run away, which made her feel uncomfortable and depressed.
Next, as if she had confirmed the ominous premonition in her heart, she lost the best sound effects, the best art direction, and even the best makeup that she thought was nine out of ten to "The Iron Lady".
"Don't worry, we still have a chance. Roy had been paying attention to her, and seeing that she had been silent since just now, and pursed her lips, he knew that she must be very unhappy in her heart.
In his opinion, this award is also a bit weird, as if he completely ignores "Silence", and keeps reading the names of other films.
"I know. Leila smiled reluctantly. She didn't want him to worry about herself, but she really couldn't smile brighter in the current situation. "Silence" was too important to her, and she needed it too much to get more trophies. But until now, she hasn't even gotten one in her hands!
"The winner of Best Original Screenplay is...... 'Midnight in Paris'!"
"......" Layla's heart instantly cooled.
Why not her "Silence"? How does "Midnight in Paris" compare to her "Silence"? Obviously they get more attention and discussion, don't they?
However, no one could answer her question.
She was anxious at the scene, and her fans were anxious in front of the TV.
Why hasn't Leila won the award yet? Did the Oscars learn to bully her like the Golden Globes?
Is it because she's young, or is it because she's a woman, or because you don't want her to take too many awards and make the old-timers lose face, so they deliberately suppress her?
It's so infuriating, there is wood!
If this is the case in the future, these fans will definitely use their own methods to protest against the injustice of the Oscars!
