The past 19999 was generally considered by the media to be the bleakest year for Hollywood, and if it weren't for the two "American Beauty" and "The Last Samurai" that popped up at the last minute, perhaps this year's Oscars would have become a talking point. Films such as "The Cider House Rule", "The Insider", "The Sixth Sense", "The Genius Mr. Ripley", and "Anna and the King" were barely considered first-class films in previous years. But just when film critics generally believed that this year's Oscars would be the most insipid, there was suddenly more news related to the Oscars.

Fans may not be able to guess who will win the Oscar, but they can be sure that host Bill? Krystal will take the news to the Oscars at the awards on March 26.

First of all, it was strange that 4,200 ballots suddenly disappeared in transit at the post office, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to resend the ballots and extend the voting deadline to March 23.

The Wall Street Journal secretly extracted voting information from the judges in an attempt to announce the results in advance, leaving the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences angry. The academy issued an open letter on March 10 accusing the Wall Street Journal of violating the studio's privacy rights by trying to conduct individual interviews with judges to know the results in advance.

But the most humiliating thing for the college was that the 55 golden statues prepared for the awards gala were lost in transit. You can't give Barbie to the winners, right? The academy had no choice but to order the golden statue maker to make another batch of small golden figures. To the relief of the college, on the 20th, 52 golden statues had been recovered.

The Oscars are about to be awarded, but public opinion is not enthusiastic, and reporters from all walks of life are worried that there is nothing to speculate. Who would have thought that so many selling points would suddenly appear in one week, and finally reporters would have room to play, and various newspapers in the United States would make a big fuss. Quite a few journalists suspect that the news is a ploy by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to draw attention to the Oscars, which of course vehemently denies. In any case, it is an indisputable fact that the Oscars have suddenly heated up.

Since everyone agrees that this year's Oscars, except for "American Beauty" and "The Last Samurai", the rest of the films are sub-heavyweight films, and naturally these two films have received a large number of nominations. Among them, "The Last Samurai" won nine nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Original Screenplay, Best Original Score, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Costume Design, while another sci-fi film "The Matrix" also won five technical nomination awards, including Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, and Best Sound Editing.

……

In Sun Ziming's estate, a large group of people are preparing for makeup and preparing for the awards ceremony in the evening. The people who got the nominations were all elated, and those who didn't get the nominations were also giggling, only Ken Watanabe, although he looked excited and danced with his friends, was actually a little lazy and couldn't lift his energy. This is also something that can't be helped, he has long known that it is impossible for the company to spend money to help him with public relations, because Cruise also got a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for "Magnolia". Ken Watanabe is just an artist under Toho Co., Ltd., and Tom? Cruise is a shareholder of Light and Shadow Company, and "Mission Impossible 2", which will start filming next year, will definitely help the company make a lot of profits.

However, everyone has no time to pay attention to a Japanese actor, because everyone's boss is about to have a child again, and makeup and costume artists are all circling around Lee Young-ae, trying to not only damage her beauty, but also hide her bulging belly. Colin? Atwood is the costume designer of Sun Ziming's royal family, although he has never won a small gold man, he is also quite a big name in Hollywood, except for "The Last Samurai", she did not participate in the costumes of the rest of the films.

Originally, during the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, big-name costumes and stylists like Colin were the most sought-after, and many stars who wanted to show their charm on the red carpet were willing to pay a high price to hire the best costume stylists to help them. However, Colin has little interest in making hundreds of thousands of dollars a week, and it is better to come to the light and shadow company for free when he has that time.

In Hollywood, you have to have strength and connections, Talina? Portman and Annie? Hathaway won the heroine of "Very Little Spy" by virtue of their parents' relationship with the people of light and shadow, which is one of the very good examples.

But today, Colleen? Etwood is in trouble, and Lee Young-ae's five-month-old belly is really impossible to hide. Exhausted or desperate, Coleen? Atwood had no choice but to say, "Ming, it's really not good." Unless Ae pushes her lower abdomen in, or we tie her lower abdomen tightly, but I don't do that. If that's the case, it might be bad for the child. ”

yes, how does that work? For the sake of the red carpet, let the child be wronged? Hearing Colin say this, Li Yingai, who was looking forward to a child as talented as Sun Ziming, hurriedly said: "Then please help me prepare a looser dress." ”

Sun Ziming had no choice but to accept it reluctantly, and asked Douglas to prepare some excuses for reporters' questions, so as to save time for getting stuck. Watanabe Qian next to him suddenly had an idea, and said, "Sun Sang, why don't you consider Song Dynasty costumes?" Isn't ESPN going to promote "Shang Shi Gong"? ”

"No, no", Colin, who has some research on the costumes of various countries, hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, the award ceremony has a dress code, actresses can only wear dresses, if Ae wears ancient Asian costumes, it will make people laugh." Boss, you should be a gentleman, there is no need to grandstand. ”

There is no way around it, although the ancient Chinese costume is very elegant, but the Americans do not see it that way. Light and shadow are one of the giants of Hollywood, and Sun Ziming is also a big name in Hollywood, so it is impossible to attract their attention in public with other people's fancy clothes.

However, Ken Watanabe's Jian Yì also gave Colin some inspiration, and he went to the dressing table next to him to compare for a while, and said dejectedly: "Boss, even if we use some oriental elements to design a dress and make it as loose as possible, it is impossible to completely cover it up." ”

Sun Ziming glanced at the sketch a few times and thought about it, if you can cover up a little, it is a little, women want to be beautiful, not to mention celebrities who eat image meals.

"Ok, we'll do it right away, we can definitely do it before five o'clock in the afternoon", Colin immediately led Li Yingai to the guest room with his assistant and helped her measure her body size.

Seeing Colin and them stammering like this, Watanabe Ken felt a little lost, and couldn't help but lament in his heart, Hollywood is really a snobbish place.
