Chapter 745: Grab the headlines
As in the past few years, the 86th Academy Awards is still held in the Hollywood Highland Center, that is, the Dolby Theater, which was renamed the year before last, but unlike previous years, after the announcement of the Oscar nominations this year, the crews participating in the Oscar competition are much quieter than in previous years, even Harvey Weinstein and Murphy, who are very thick-skinned and have a lot of means. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The reason is simple, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences seems to want to straighten out the public relations order of the Oscars, and after the nominees were announced, the director made an example.
Bruce Broughton, the creator of the song "Alone.Yet.Not.Alone", has been found by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to have violated the Oscar PR rules and is strictly banned from the Oscars!
According to the Academy, Bruce Broughton canvassed votes with the Oscar judges via email, urging them to "keep an eye on this work", and the Academy ruled that Bruce Broughton violated voting rules and disqualified him from the Oscar nomination for Best Original Song.
Bruce Broughton wasn't a big deal, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences certainly showed its attitude, and the contestants, including "Dark City," were much quieter afterwards, and no one wanted to touch the academy's mold at such a time.
This is one of the most high-profile events before the awards ceremony, and the other is whether the rain in Los Angeles will stop.
There were unforeseen circumstances, and when the 86th Academy Awards was about to officially start more than ten hours away, Los Angeles began to rain suddenly and the temperature plummeted.
Spring is the rainy season in the Los Angeles area, and it has not rained at the Oscars in the past, but this year's rain was particularly heavy, and even the red carpet was affected.
Although the staff carried out waterproofing measures in time and erected a rain shelter, the red carpet laid out in advance at the entrance of the Dolby Theater was soaked in rainwater.
Of course, the red carpet show will not be canceled due to the rain, but it is likely that the weather will drag down the photo shoot and interview effect.
According to the forecast of the meteorological department, this bad weather will continue until the night of the Oscars, and the temperature will also become very low.
The college has carried out the remediation work as quickly as possible, and as long as there is money, it is not difficult to solve the trouble caused by the rain.
In just one night and one morning, all the soaked red carpets were replaced with new ones, and the inside and outside were covered with plastic sheets, drainage channels were added, and the staff constantly monitored the rain and the drainage situation on the site, and used tools to remove the water in time.
In addition, the college has enlarged the area of the rain shelter, and even the top of the driveway is blocked.
It is not uncommon for Oscar red carpet shows to encounter bad weather, the stars and the organizers are very experienced, the rainstorm is indeed a test, the rain is too large, there is no foolproof way to deal with such an emergency, but this will not delay the Hollywood stars to walk on the red carpet.
The red carpet show of the 86th Academy Awards kicked off in heavy rain and low temperatures.
But most celebrities have already chosen their looks and outfits, and this will not bring about changes.
For example, Emma Watson, who walked in front of Murphy, wore a high-end sheer sheer tulle evening dress from Vivi Wang, the skirt was thin and see-through, and she looked really beautiful and frozen.
"I guess ......," Gal Gadot took Murphy's hand, slightly controlling the pace of his progress, "Emma is trying to fight back against the criticism of those people and the media. ”
Murphy nodded, "It's possible." ”
In his contacts, Emma Watson is a very individual girl, and some people and the media have not attacked her for being a false feminist, and she simply chose a see-through outfit for such a very important occasion as a response to those criticisms.
Compared with the red carpet in the past, Murphy didn't walk fast, he could feel what Gal Gadot meant, after all, the person who walked in front can be considered a friend, if they walked too fast and chased after them, Emma Watson would be a little embarrassed.
Murphy and Gal Gadot walked slowly across the carpet and waved softly to the fans on either side, the rain above their heads was like a torrential rain, crackling on the rain canopy, making a sound that made it impossible to hear what the fans were shouting.
But many people held up his posters, and Murphy smiled back at them.
"Traitor!"
Daisy stood among the fans on the left side of the red carpet, looking at Murphy's familiar face, a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Damn traitor! ”
Although she thought so, she didn't do anything but watch the two men walk into the media interview area in front of the Dolby Theater.
The Dolby Theater and the entire Walk of Fame are full of police, and if something happens, she can't run away at all, even if she doesn't care about this, she can't do what she wants to do, and she can enter here after three security procedures, and guns and other weapons can't be brought in.
"Director Stanton, what do you think of the Academy's rejection of the Best Stunt award for the Oscars once again?"
In the interview area, Murphy was being interviewed by reporters, and when he heard this question, he thought for a moment and replied, "We can't ignore the contribution of stuntmen to the industry, they deserve to be commended." ”
The creation of special effects awards has been proposed for many years, but it is not easy to get conservative colleges to recognize stuntmen, and despite the many changes the academy has made to the Oscars this year, it has once again rejected the creation of stunt-related Oscars.
The reform of the Academy is mainly aimed at the existing awards.
Back last year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences made several changes to the judging criteria, the most important of which was to limit the number of actors who can be submitted for each film and relax the selection criteria for the best film candidate.
In terms of the Best Actor nomination, the new rules changed by the Academy limit that each film can only apply for 20 actors and 20 actresses to participate in the Best Actor category.
In the past, the producer or distributor could put all the actors in the film on the list.
The purpose of this change is to streamline the shortlist provided to the judges before the annual selection and to further avoid the hassle caused by the complexity of the list, and it is still up to the applicant to decide whether to participate in the Best Lead or Supporting Actor award.
In addition, the 40 actors under the new rules can be any actor in the film, and the producer or distributor does not need to be determined based on the ranking of the cast.
In terms of the Best Picture awards, the main selection criteria have not changed much, and the Academy will select the main three producers or fewer of the best film producers as nominees, and reserve the right to add a fourth nominee to the film, depending on the circumstances.
In the past, the Academy only recognized members of a production team that had worked together for more than five years and produced at least five feature films as candidates for Best Picture.
Today, the criteria has been relaxed to include only two feature films.
The rules for other awards are also slightly based on linguistic and semantic tweaks, but another notable change is in the Best Original Song category, where the Academy will allow nominations for Best Original Song to appear as groups in the future, and the winner will only receive a gold figure awarded in the name of the team.
After briefly answering the reporter's question, Murphy declined the following interview and took Gal Gadot in his arms as he prepared to enter the Dolby Theater.
At this moment, there was a sudden exclamation from behind, and the sound was so loud that even the sound of the rainstorm falling on the rain shelter was suppressed.
Murphy looked back and approached the media interview area, where Jennifer Lawrence fell firmly on the red carpet, which not only caused a burst of exclamations from fans, but also turned the camera lens of the media reporter.
"It's headlines again." Gal Gadot shook his head, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the fourth time I've fallen at an awards ceremony or on the red carpet. ”
Murphy smiled, turned around, and dragged Gal Gadot into the Dolby Theater.
It's also a great way to make headlines in entertainment when there's no chance of winning a major award.
In the beach area of Santa Monica, Archbishop Márquez Costello finished his day's work and looked up at the wall clock on the wall, which seemed to be about to start.
He instructed his assistant, who was standing nearby, "Go, turn on the TV." ”
The assistant is very strange, it is not yet evening news time, why does His Excellency the Archbishop suddenly want to watch TV?
He turned on the TV, and Archbishop Márquez-Costello in the back commanded, "Change to ABC TV!" ”
After taking the remote control, the assistant switched to ABC TV, and then saw the Oscars live.
"I see." He turned his head and stole a glance at Archbishop Márquez Costello and muttered, "Is this trying to see Murphy Stanton?" ”
Who doesn't know now that Murphy Stanton has embarrassed His Excellency the Archbishop, and the other day His Excellency the Pope personally called and severely reprimanded His Excellency the Archbishop, who was in this office at the time, and could faintly hear words such as incompetence and failure......
This does not bode well for an archbishop.
The assistant felt that His Excellency Archbishop Márquez-Costello might not be in the Diocese of South-Central California for long......
In the Dolby Theater, Murphy and Gal Gadot, guided by the staff, walked into the VIP lounge in the theater and added a group of their friends to the lounge.
The Stanton party gathered, and Margot Robbie asked, "How many gold figurines can we take tonight?" ”
Murphy shrugged, "Of course, the more the merrier." ”
"More is not better!" Robert Downey Jr. said seriously, "We're going to take all the thirteen nominated little golden men!" ”
Everyone laughed softly.
Just after a few words, Gal Gadot suddenly pulled Murphy's arm and reminded, "Leonardo DiCaprio is here." ”
