Chapter 42: Oscar nominations

"Okay, let's do this for today. Sid nodded.

Then Josh Thurruben pulled Avril Avril, who was still absent-minded, greeted Sid with a smirk, and hurried away.

Only then did Avril react, she grabbed her agent, "Josh, how are we going to get out?"

Josh Thurruben looked at his underage client speechlessly, "Didn't Mr. Leon just say that when they run out of the studio in the past two weeks, they will vacate the studio for us." You've just ...... Never mind. ”

"Eh, that's it?!" Avril was stunned for a moment, then immediately shouted.

"Of course, what else do you think?" Josh Thurruben rolled his eyelids, and then he looked at Avril who was still absent-minded and said, "We were lucky today, Mr. Leon, they didn't blame us." ”

Then Josh Thurruben paused and looked at Avril, "What's wrong with you today?

"No! nothing. Avril jumped up like a cat with its tail stepped on, and in the face of Josh Thureben's puzzled eyes, Avril shook her head and said, "It's really nothing!"

"Oh well. Josh Thurruben didn't bother to think about it, walking around Sid's "ghost gate" today had overworked his little heart, and he just wanted to rest now.

"And that's it for today?" Avril asked, reluctantly.

"Of course, what else?" would you expect Mr. Leon to invite us to dinner?" replied Josh Thurruben.

As she left the studio, the blonde girl reluctantly looked back in the direction of the guy, and then a wave of anger came back - hmph!

"Why didn't you talk to that Avril about something?" Max Martin asked curiously.

"What are you talking about?" asked Sid knowingly.

"Oh, don't forget, this little girl was dug up by you and asked me to go to Canada, today should be the first time you meet, right? Why are you acting so cold?

But he knew that Sid's actions would never be so simple, she was just a rookie female singer who broke in by mistake, even if Sid was big, there was no need to discuss her affairs with them.

Sid is not a meticulous and point-in-chief boss like Michael Eisner, so his behavior today is quite rare, and Max Martin can't help but "think crookedly".

"Let you dig her out, it's just that I'm moved by my love for talent, and I've always been pushing for Jeremy and Amy, do I still have any ulterior secrets with them?" Sid said, rolling his eyes.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going to gossip, as long as you don't get caught by Britney and Lindsay. Max Martin pouted as well.

After this vignette, Sid et al. returned to the recording of the new single.

And five days later, on January 25, this year's Oscar nomination live broadcast was finally broadcast on the ABC television network.

This year's Oscars are not much different from the Golden Globes in terms of overall trends, with "A Beautiful Mind", "Moulin Rouge" and "Begin Again" changing lives.

In addition, although there are other films such as Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings", Ridley Scott's "Black Hawk Down", and the solid script "Gosford Manor", it is difficult to compare them with the three most popular films because of their natural flaws.

Among them, the highest-quality "The Lord of the Rings", although since its release at the end of last year, has been all the way to the level of acclaim and popularity, comprehensively surpassing last year's "Gladiator".

But as the first part of the trilogy that is clearly laid out, it is clear that the increasingly conservative Oscar Academy will not put the treasure on this prologue from the beginning.

After all, this is not the era when the "Godfather" series is rampant in Hollywood, and even if a series of movies is good now, it is impossible for the Oscars to give two best pictures to a series.

So the best thing for the academy to do is to wait for the price to sell, because of the exception success of "The Lord of the Rings", New Line Pictures and Warner Bros. have definitely shot the remaining two parts of the trilogy back-to-back.

Obviously, this year's Oscar "The Lord of the Rings" must only be soy sauce, at most it will win two awards in terms of technology and sound and sound effects.

The same is true of films such as "Black Hawk Down" and "Goldford Manor".

"Amelie, France. As the guests and the dean of the academy were announced one by one, all five films shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film award were also revealed.

Although for Sid, "Angel Amelie", a good film that has not stood the test of time, is a truly excellent work. But at this point in time this year, the film about the lives of people in turbulent areas, Bosnia and Herzegovina, is obviously more champion.

Therefore, although the Oscars are not necessarily political, they must reflect the psychological reflection of North America.

It's not as "fair and just" as outsiders think, but it's also understandable, after all, this is a North American film award, and it's normal to reflect the social situation in the region.

With the announcement of the list of nominees step by step, many "unexpected" things have appeared one by one, first of all, "The Lord of the Rings", which was not favored by everyone, won 13 nominations including Best Director and Best Adapted Screenplay.

The previous biggest hit "A Beautiful Mind" also "only" won 8 nominations, including heavyweight awards including Best Picture and Best Director.

Although "Moulin Rouge" failed to be nominated for Best Director, it also won 8 nominations including Best Actress and Best Picture, which is on par with "A Beautiful Mind".

This film, which was promoted by Fox, fell into a very embarrassing situation, a film nominated for Best Picture, but it couldn't even get a nomination for Best Director.

If a director is not good enough, why should he make a film that is shortlisted for Best Picture?

This film, which was completely created for Nicole Kidman's rush to the Olympics, has already conceded three points before the battle, and if you consider that "Moulin Rouge" lost to "Begin Again" in the comedy and music category of the Golden Globe Awards, then their future at the Oscars is even more precarious.

And when the new president announced the nominees for Best Director and Best Film, people were surprised to find that "Begin Again" also quietly won 8 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

Not only is the number of nominations on par with the other two competitors, but it is also the most comprehensive among them.
