Ganis ended his four-year term as president of the Academy Academy, and after a selection by the Academy's Board of Trustees, veteran filmmaker Tom Murphy ended his four-year term as president of the Academy Academy. Sherak took Sid. Gannis's baton, who has been in Hollywood for more than 40 years, has been the head of studio finance and is currently a consultant to Marvel Studios and a partner at the film production studio Zuò Revolution Studios.
In addition to the chairmanship, the College Council elected three vice-presidents, the most famous of which was two-time Oscar winner Tom Brown. Hanks, before that, Tom. Hanks's voice has always been very high, and in the actors' strike that intensified last year, it was he who repeatedly stepped forward and used his prestige and good popularity to resolve the strike crisis, and his election was expected and smooth.
The other two vice-chairmen are producer Kathleen Kennedy and screenwriter Phil Alden. Robinson, the former is a Hollywood gold producer, successively served as one of the founders of Amperin Entertainment and Kennedy/Marshall Film Productions Co., Ltd., and produced "Ghost Exorcist", "Back to the Future" trilogy, "Jurassic Park", "The Sixth Sense", "Spy Shadow", "Schindler's List", "E.T.

The annual Oscars are the most important source of income for the Academy, and it is crucial to ensure that the ceremony is held smoothly.
And then there's Sid. The three drastic reform measures thrown out by Gannis before leaving office are to increase the number of Oscar nominations for Best Picture from 5 to 10; the second is the selection principle of the best movie song; The third is to withdraw honorary awards, including the Lifetime Achievement Award, the Joan Hersholt Humanitarian Award, and the Irving Sahrberg Memorial Award, from the Oscars and hold a separate awards ceremony in November with about 500 attendees. also made the film company complain, and now the problem is handed over to the four people.
The Academy of Cars is still struggling to restart the construction of the college's new museum, which is located near the Arclight Theatre, which was shelved last year due to the financial turmoil. The construction budget is $400 million.
The transition of power to the Academy Academy is noteworthy, and as is James. Cameron's new movie "Avatar", in fact, news reports about "Avatar" have never stopped, and it has become more frequent after entering the summer season. The latest news is that the world premiere of the "Avatar" advance version trailer on Wednesday set a record of more than 4 million views on Apple's website in one day, breaking the single-day viewing record for the trailer in Apple's Itunes movie trailer section, and the previous record was set by "Wild Story: Rise of the Apes", which received 3.2 million visits in a single day.
Also in the spotlight is Leonardo Dicca. "Shutter Island" starring Prio was revealed to be postponed to February 19 next year, which also means that this film directed by Martin Scorsese, according to Denise ? Lehane's 2003 thriller adaptation of the novel of the same name will not compete for next year's Oscars, rumored to be due to Paramount Pictures' reluctance to spend tens of millions of dollars on Oscar PR promotion, which is clear despite the fact that the film is quite promising from the outside world. Within Paramount Pictures, they are not optimistic about "Shutter Island", and they are not willing to spend money in vain and make money at a loss.

"Haven't you eaten a lot of food from all over the world during this time? I think it's delicious. Liu Yifei said with a smile.
"How can it be the same, the meaning is completely different, before it was more about work, now it's about having dinner with the people you care about." Lin Yuquan said with a smile.
