Chapter 22 Follow-up of the Olympic Awards
After Kevin Spacey was promoted to the new actor, the swept trend of "American Beauty" at the Oscars is very obvious, after all, the current Oscars have not been reduced to the cake-sharing game that followed. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
So in the end, the rest of the best director and best film, the crew of "Earth Thunder" did not report any expectations at all. And the best director was unexpectedly awarded by Spielberg to his British disciple Sam Mendes ("American Beauty").
And the best picture also fell to "American Beauty" without suspense!
What's interesting is that in the end, this award, because the live broadcast time was too timed out, made Clint Eastwood very unhappy, and he could only announce the results directly.
"Good night, everyone. Tonight is very happy, some people say that this is the shortest Oscar in this century" After the host Brother Billy made a brief summary, the 72nd Oscars finally came to an end.
Whether it was the star audience on the first floor or the ordinary audience on the second floor, they all began to leave.
Seeing Spielberg celebrating his disciple Sam Mendes, Lindsay pouted unhappily, while the Governor and Jeff Bridges patted Sid on the shoulder from behind, and Sid smiled and said to the old man: "It seems that we are brothers and sisters now." ā
Uncle Jeff Bridges chuckled and nodded, "It's a long time coming, boy." You're still young. ā
"So do you, Jeff. Sid patted Uncle Jeff as well.
After the Oscars, of course, there is the customary Oscar night party hosted by Vanity Fair at the Hilton Hotel.
Sid, of course, was not interested, and Lindsay was in the same pace as Sid, "Oh, where did my hat go?" and when he got into the luxury car, Sid realized that the white cowboy hat he brought for the Oscars was gone.
"Did you fall somewhere?" asked Lindsey curiously.
"Forget it, let's go back to dinner, I'm dying of hunger. Sid patted his stomach, and now he finally understood why the first thing Ang Lee did after winning the best director in "history" was to go outside the Kodak theater to buy hamburgers to eat.
The Oscars start at five o'clock and last until nine o'clock, and most celebrities don't eat too much dinner at all for the sake of manners and dresses, especially those female stars.
"Brother Sid, what do you say, I'm so hungry that I can't lift my fingers. Lindsay said weakly as she lay on Sid's lap.
"Here, take a bite of this. Sid pulled out a chocolate bar from the storage compartment of the Limo.
"Wow! chocolate!" Lindsay took Sid's hand and took a bite of it.
"Ah, my hand!" Sid shook his hand, but how could he defeat the almighty foodie at this moment?
"Okay, okay, I surrendered. Sid let go of his hand and let Lindsay eat the chocolate in his hand, and then he gently reached out and hugged Xiao Nizi into his arms, and said softly: "Thank you hard today, Lindsay." ā
After eating a piece of chocolate, Lindsay, who came back to his strength, also smiled a little: "It's nothing, as long as it's for Brother Sid, I'm not afraid of anything." ā
"Then since you have the strength, can you go down from me?"
"Don't, don't!" Lindsay shook her head, flicking her red hair all over Sid's mouth.
"Woo-woo-"

The day after the Oscars ended, the front pages of major entertainment media newspapers and magazines were marked with eye-catching headlines - "American Beauty" killed all sides, and "Earth Thunder" did not receive any grain.
Almost all the media focused on the two films, which were seen as close before the awards ceremony.
But the result surprised everyone, "American Beauty" was nominated for 8 nominations and 5 awards, while "Earth Thunder", which won 10 nominations, did not receive anything, which can be described as the worst shortlisted film in the past decade.
This can't help but make a lot of people discuss - is Sid Leon's genius effect over?
Although "Earth Thunder" also has the "congenital insufficiency" of the director who is too young and adapts the story from ancient old works, the result of such a big contrast is absolutely beyond everyone's expectations.
Of course, there are also some media who complain about Sid, thinking that many members of the academy have overly despised the level of "Earth Thunder" because of his youth, or because of some "unspoken rules", Sid has formed "unfair competition" in some key awards.
The Wall Street Journal even wrote after that that the Weinstein brothers' Miramax was "out of sorts" this year, and that DreamWorks' "American Beauty" finally swept away the humiliation of last year's "Saving Private Ryan" and won an important ride for DreamWorks and Spielberg.
At the same time, although Sid's "Earth Thunder" did not perform well at the Oscars, he and his Fire Lion Group performed more fiercely in the market than "American Beauty" at the Oscars!
Last year's "Youth Musical" swept the market, Britney Spears became popular all over the world, and this year's "24 Hours" performed well, and as for the traditional strong reality show of the Fire Lion, it was invincible all over North America.
The success of both Fire Lion Group and DreamWorks in terms of business and awards seems to confirm the rise of small and medium-sized manufacturers. They end the article with an interesting point ā the creative force in Hollywood seems to be shifting from the big studios to the small and medium-sized studios, and the spring of small and medium-sized studios and independent films seems to be coming!
"It's downright --!" Sid laughed as he threw the Wall Street Journal on the table.
"Eh, I think they have a point, Sid, don't you approve of it? Isn't the Wall Street Journal cheering on you small and medium-sized manufacturers?" asked Amy Adams, curiously picking up the paper.
After the Oscars, Sid and Lindsay quickly returned to Canada and resumed filming of "Juno".
Sid smiled and looked at the actors sitting at his table, next to him were only a handful of close friends such as Lindsay, Amy (Adams) and Lance Arcade.
"yes, I think there is some truth in this article. Lance Arcord nodded, and leaned over to Amy Adams to glance at the newspaper.
Sid thought for a moment, smiled and said, "First of all, how much success at the Oscars does not mean that this company is successful. ā
"Haha, Sid, you shouldn't be jealous of this loss to DreamWorks. Lance Arcord said with a grin.
"Get out!" Sid laughed and raised a middle finger at him.
"Harvey Weinstein has won several important awards at the Oscars every year, so is Disney up to him or Michael Eisner?" Sid then began to explain.
"Secondly, the success of Fire Lion and DreamWorks in their respective fields does not mean that small and medium-sized manufacturers are having a better time. Sid raised a second finger and said, "The performance of Yijiang Pictures and Summit Entertainment last year was far from as good as imagined. ā
"Even if you go back to DreamWorks, this year it is not as glamorous as it seems, and the game division it established at the beginning of its establishment has already spread the news that it is already looking for a buyer because it only loses money and does not make money. It is said that several game companies in North America are now bidding, including EA, Blizzard and other big-name manufacturers. ā
"Oh, I kind of get it. Lance Arcod shouted in a "sudden realization": "Sid, you're saying that everyone except the Fire Lion is weak." ā
"Huh. Sid didn't refute Lance's (Arcord) words, but smiled and shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who left them without a good boss?"
"Ah, Brother Sid is so handsome. "Lindsey is a little nymphomaniac on the side.
"Yes, yes, we know Sid is so powerful, Lindsay, can you give us some breathing space. Lance Arkard said with an exaggerated scream.
Lindsay immediately stood up and glanced at him coldly: "What's the matter, jealous, single dog!"
"Wow!!!" Lance Arcod immediately took 10,000 critical damage, and fell to the table and lay down.
"Alright, let's finish it. It's time for us to get to work. Sid clapped his hands, and everyone immediately stood up solemnly, and a new day of filming began.
āāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāāā
Just when Sid and others were working overtime in Canada to shoot "Juno", April came, and a new TV series quietly appeared on Fire Lion TV.
To say that it is silent, not really. Because of the previous promotional activities and live concerts, it has formed a lot of craze among children in North America, especially in the West Coast California region.
Yes, Lindsay's Hannah Montana has finally aired.
Although this is only a teen sitcom, with the gimmick of writing and starring Sid, this teen drama that does not play at dinner time at 5 p.m. every week is still remembered by many young and young audiences.
So when it's dinner time on the first Friday in April, in the restaurants of many families in North America, the active children are shouting, "I want to watch Fire Lion! ā
"Okay, okay, as long as you eat quietly, I'll change the table for you. The helpless mother had to take out the remote control, while the father could only shout to silence the children.
But with the premiere of "Hannah Monata", it became clear that the wishes of mom and dad could not be fulfilled. Because "Hannah Montana" began!
