On the 26th of the end of March, the last and most important awards ceremony of the year-end awards season, the Academy Awards, has finally arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

The eyes of the entire entertainment industry have been drawn to this, although Sid's "Earth Thunder" has won 10 nominations, including Best Director and Best Picture, surpassing the previously promising "American Beauty" (8 nominations).

But Sid and the Fire Lion didn't do a big PR campaign this year, as if a nomination had already satisfied them.

Even Harvey Weinstein's Miramax, who had been troubled by the awards season in previous years, did not perform as well as expected, and this year there is only one second-rate film shortlisted, "There Is Always a Sun".

This makes this year's Oscars always a little lacking in highlights, bland and boring taste,

However, the Academy really deserves to be a master of hype, following the scandal of lost votes and arbitrage results, on the eve of the Oscars, the 55 golden statues prepared for the awards party actually disappeared in transportation.

Although the academy immediately rushed to the manufacturer to produce another batch of small golden figures, to the "relief" of the academy, by the 20th, the lost golden figures were recovered 52.

Originally, the entertainment media was worried that there was nothing to speculate.

Who would have thought that so many selling points would suddenly appear in one week. Finally giving reporters room to play, American newspapers have made a big fuss.

Therefore, some reporters suspect that these news are a trick by the Academy to draw attention to the Oscars, and the Academy of course vigorously denies it.

But in any case, the sudden rise of the Oscars is an indisputable fact.

This also made the celebrity guests who came to the auditorium of the temple on March 26 to be surprised to find that this year's Oscars, whether it was the audience on both wings or the reporters on the red carpet, were as lively as ever.

Speaking of which, although there are not many heavyweight films shortlisted this year, there are really a lot of eye-catching star actors - whether it is Kevin Spacey, who is once again shortlisted for the best actor competition, or Angelina Jolie, who was shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress because of her dazzling performance in "Soul Shifting Girl".

And in "Boys Don't Cry", Hilary Swank, who plays a homosexual as a woman, was nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for her first starring role in a movie with her shocking acting skills.

And these awards in the actor category have a common feature - it is difficult to distinguish between Zhong Bo!

This point, just by looking at the shortlist, you can know that although Kevin Spacey is in the Best Actor Award, Sean Penn and Denzel Washington are also shortlisted and wrestling with them.

And in terms of the actress, there is also the model worker Julian Moore at this time, and the king of the 10,000-year appearance - Aunt May, Meryl Streep.

In terms of supporting actors, there are Tom Cruise, who starred in "Magnolia", and Haley Joe Osmon, who was only 11 years old in "The Sixth Sense".

As for the supporting actress, in addition to Angelina Jolie, of course, there is Lindsay Xiaonizi, who has been shortlisted for this award for two consecutive years!

It can be said that at this time, these actor awards have both veteran actors and talented rookies, which makes the awards ceremony full of suspense and tension, and also makes the media and the audience full of curiosity.

"I think it must be the British, do you need to ask?" In the media area on the side of the red carpet, several veteran reporters who had old acquaintances chatted about gossip while looking at the big-name stars who had stepped on the red carpet.

It was a reporter from the Los Angeles Times who had just spoken, and what they were talking about was, of course, the most talked-about award at the Oscars, Best Director.

And the object he spoke to was Sam Manders, the British director of "American Beauty" and a disciple of Spielberg.

"Are you so sure?" asked a senior reporter for Variety, laughing.

"No, no, I don't think he would have won Best Director even without that British, okay?" said a colleague from The New York Times, holding up his finger and laughing. Then he shrugged his shoulders: "19-year-old Oscar-winning director? Oh my God! That's not going to be possible." ”

"20 years old!" retorted a reporter from Variety.

"Well, what?" the New York Times reporter was stunned.

"He's 20 years old, and this month, he's just turned 20. The reporter of "Variety" Weekly also shrugged his shoulders and said, and then he also nodded and said: "Okay, I agree with you, it is indeed unlikely that he will win this award." But for other awards, I think there is still some suspense. ”

The senior reporter's words made the peers around him nod.

In fact, this is also the judgment of most of the media and industry insiders at this year's Oscars, because in terms of important awards, the only one that can really pose a threat to DreamWorks' "American Beauty" is "Earth Thunder" from Fire Lion Pictures.

Whether it's Best Picture, a screenplay award, or other technical awards, "Earth Thunder" has a considerable overlap with "American Beauty". And these two films are on par in terms of quality and commercial performance.

Among them, "Earth Thunder" has a higher North American box office, while "American Beauty" has better overseas results.

The style of these two films is also diametrically opposed - the delicate and realistic plot of "American Beauty", the interlocking and fascinating rhythm, makes people unconsciously indulge in it, and it is completely a life that can withstand trials and tastes***. It can be described as a classic of the graceful school!

And "Earth Thunder" is just the opposite! -- The rough and heroic western temperament fills the whole film, whether it is a male or female character, whether it is an adult character or a child character, all of them show an indomitable and enterprising spirit. Whether it's their pursuit of justice or the blow to evil.

This film realizes the "resurrection" of the vanished Western, and is definitely an outstanding representative of the extravagant school!

Some people even joked that Clint Eastwood (the representative actor & director of the golden age of Westerns) has a successor.

"In short, he and his "Earth Thunder" can be regarded as saving this year's academy. After the senior reporter of "Variety" weekly saw a joke that was not big or small, everyone laughed.

At this moment, there was a sudden fierce uproar in the direction of the entrance to the red carpet.

――――――――――――――――――――

When the lengthened Rolls-Royce Limo stopped, the first to get out of the car was the long-awaited genius little Lori - Lindsay Lohan, I saw that she was wearing a powder blue dress, which was a small tulle dress specially customized for Lindsay by the wedding queen Wang Weiwei.

Everyone knows that the most eye-catching at the wedding has always been the bride and bridesmaids, but the little angels holding small flowers.

And Lindsay's powder blue dress uses a similar lace Persian skirt design, which makes this little girl look out of the world, adding a bit of fairy temperament that does not eat fireworks in the world.

"Wow!!" The media coke went bad, and these reporters not far away shouted Lindsay's name, and the cameras in their hands kept clicking and clicking, and the flashes of light from them filled the entire Walk of Fame.

But reporters soon discovered that Lindsay, who had been standing by the luxury car for a moment, had not walked down the red carpet, that the door on her side was still open, and that she had not seen her family come out of the other side of the car.

Just when everyone was puzzled, a sturdy figure stepped out of the car - it was actually the long-awaited Hollywood genius, Sid Leonhardt!

I saw that he was wearing a standard black suit and a dark blue tie, but he actually had a hat in his hand - a white cowboy hat!

Sid looked at the media and smiled, then put his white cowboy hat on his head and tightened it, a clear gesture that immediately ignited the enthusiasm of the reporters - "Sid!" "Look this way! Sid. "Here, here, Sid!"

Their enthusiastic shouts made even the stars on the red carpet look back curiously, and Sid unhurriedly took Lindsay's little hand, and the two walked on the red carpet of the Oscars for the first time.

In front of the media wall, whether it was Lindsay's powder blue dress or Sid's cowboy hat, the reporters were like being beaten with chicken blood, and the sound of a tsunami couldn't help but make Sid think that he had arrived at the stock exchange.

finally waited until the end of the photo shoot, Sid breathed a sigh of relief and walked on the red carpet, and as soon as he stepped on the red carpet, there were obviously a lot more stars who greeted warmly this year than last year. With the successive successes of Fire Lion and Sid, these Hollywood stars, of course, do not want to waste the opportunity to make friends with Sid, an upstart real power.

As many people say, Hollywood has always been the icing on the cake, but there are few things to do.

Whether it is the 10 nominations of "Earth Thunder" at the Oscars, or the overall jump of the Fire Lion Group in all aspects from film to television to music last year, this makes the Fire Lion already comparable to the Dream Factory where the Big Three gather. What's more, Fire Lion has also obtained an independent theatrical distribution channel that even DreamWorks can only dream of.

This leaves Sid already in the top 10, or to be exact, 10th on Hollywood's annual list of powers by Premiere magazine this year. Spielberg, on the other hand, is No. 6 at DreamWorks.

Sid's shortlisting not only refreshed the record of being the youngest in the top 10 of the Hollywood power list!, but also the fastest record in the top 10!

With such titles and evaluations, how can these Hollywood male and female stars not be enthusiastic and flock to them?
