Chapter 46: The Oscar Red Carpet
Therefore, after the start of the awards season, Julia Roberts, who was shortlisted for the actress, has become one of the favorites for the Oscars.
is also expected by everyone to play the Roman general Russell Crowe in "Gladiator".
This is his second Oscar nomination after "Inside Out", and he is also the most accomplished actor in Hollywood among New Zealand actors today.
Of course, of course, in addition to these hot candidates from all over the world, our Hollywood prodigy Sid, also brought his "Juno" with 4 nominations including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
Although the number of nominations is not large, they are all weighty awards, so it can be regarded as some of the face of "Juno".
The 2001 Oscars were also the last time the Oscars were held in the Great Hall of the Temple, and the Kodak Theater, which is now nearing completion, has been scheduled to be the place where the statuettes will be presented forever from next year.
Since it has so many highlights and hot spots, this year's Oscars have naturally become the most watched in recent years!
According to the statistics of the college, the total number of guests and performing arts stars from all walks of life who were invited to attend this year reached more than 2,800, and the absenteeism rate was the lowest in history.
It is precisely because these stars and actors scattered around the world returned to Los Angeles to participate in the Oscars at the same time that a total of $35 million in business opportunities were brought to related businesses in Los Angeles. Among them, the rental service of extended limousines alone reached 1,300 times.
There are also more than 2,000 sets of custom-made and rented dresses that are essential for attending the Oscars. With dresses, of course, there must be accessories, "Rodeo" boutique street and "Harry Winston" jewelers statistics, during this Oscars, the value of fashion, jewelry and accessories sold and rented, a total of more than 75 million US dollars!
It's their best profit ever.
After all, who doesn't want to lose face in front of other stars at the Oscars, right?
————————————————————
In order to highlight the grandeur and grandeur of this year's Oscars, the red carpet area in front of the auditorium of the temple has been arranged more ornately, with huge rear projection displays installed at both ends and in the middle of the middle, which are used to put the official ABC reporter interview screen on it.
But in addition to these, as every well-known star gets off the bus and enters the venue, the sound of introduction will sound over the red carpet at the right time.
"It's an annual Oscar event with stars and stars. Two-time Oscar winners, Tom Hanks and his wife Rita Wilson, who were nominated again this year!"
I saw Hanks, who was wearing a black suit, and his wife in a white suspender dress were walking on the red carpet, and when they saw this powerful star, the audience on both wings of the red carpet suddenly burst into cheers.
Then the camera then hit the big brother of Hong Kong who stepped on the Oscars for the first time - "Chow Yun-fat!"
I saw this old brother Ma with a smile on his face and his wife talking enthusiastically with several North American reporters, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is menacing, so that the starring big brother seems to be expected to impact Jack Cheng's popularity and status in North America.
"Jennifer Lopez!"
I saw that the new singer in a silver-gray long dress was waiting at the entrance of the red carpet, and it could be seen that she was used to participating in the free and casual Grammys, and she was a little exhausted by the crowded red carpet when she first came to the Oscars. It wasn't until she saw the photographer's lens that she quickly put on a smile.
And Angelina Jolie, who had just stepped off the limousine with her husband Billy, was caught by the cameraman's lens, and while they turned the camera to the big screen in the venue, the female newspaper clerk also shouted: "Angelina Jolie has also arrived!"
Julie, who was going out with her husband, also had to smile while turning around and waving to the reporters on the red carpet.
"Wow, this year's formation is really different. Sid sat in the elongated white Limo, poking his head out slightly to look at the crowded red carpet entrance.
I saw a large group of security guards in black suits and black sunglasses maintaining order, while construction workers in fluorescent safety suits were on the other side directing Limo, who put down the star, to come here immediately. After all, with more than 1,000 extended gift cars, it is definitely an unprecedented congestion.
"Brother Sid, how's my dress? At this time, Lindsay, who was sitting opposite Sid, was a little nervous and tidying up her little dress.
Although Lindsay is already a frequent visitor to the Oscars, the limousine drove to the door and saw the extraordinarily grand formation this year, which made Xiao Nizi nervous again for a while.
Sid smiled and held Lindsay's little hand, Xiao Nizi couldn't help but raise her head, a pair of watery green eyes were beautiful, "It's okay, I'm here." ”
In a simple sentence, Lindsay saw Sid's warm demon pupils, and the tension was immediately dispelled, and Xiao Nizi showed a cute and confident smile, "Well, thank you, Brother Sid." ”
At this time, the driver in front of him spoke: "Mr. Leon, you need to go down, the guide is already urging us." ”
"Okay, I see, thanks. Sid turned to the driver and said, he and Lindsay looked in the direction of the red carpet, and a lead man in a red dress and black trousers walked over.
Seeing him, Sid couldn't help but look back and say, "Okay, it's time for us to go down." ”
Then the guide pulled the door open, and Sid thanked him and stepped out of the car. The Oscars are different from the usual movie premieres, where the audience and the media are on the red carpet wings of the entrance, while the entrances and exits above and below the limousine are only staffed by guides, security guards and police.
This is to prevent unnecessary congestion when the celebrities get off the bus, and of course, in addition to these ordinary staff, there is another category of people who can also stay here - that is, ABC photographers.
The photographer who had just followed Angelina Jolie couldn't help but turn around and walk towards the red carpet entrance after Julie and her husband Billy left temporarily. As soon as he came over, he saw Sid stepping out of the limousine.
This immediately made him excited again, and he ran to Sid with the camera in three steps and two steps, but Lindsay, who stepped out of the car, made his eyes shine even more!
Sid wore a navy blue English suit this year, and as is customary, Sid still tailors a slim-fitting suit from a top tailor shop on London's Tailor Street. Although the style is simple and ordinary, the young color of navy blue makes him stand out from the crowd of black dresses.
Coupled with Sid's sunny and handsome youthful temperament, and blue and black two-color demon pupils, people can't help but sigh at God's eccentricity.
