The always sunny Los Angeles began to rain lightly on the 24th, but this did not affect the interest of the stars on the red carpet.

For rainy weather, the Academy Awards agencies seem to have been prepared to erect white canopies to protect the stars on the red carpet, and for Hollywood, which has just experienced a writers' strike, this wind and rain is really nothing.

The bleachers and streets around the Kodak Theatre were packed with thousands of fans, and the first stars to step on the red carpet included the first to walk on the red carpet with "Michael? Clayton, who was nominated for this year's Academy Award for Best Actor, George? Clooney, and German supermodel Heidi? Krum and her black singer husband, Hill.

Renee? Zellweger wore a backless evening gown, which caused fans to scream as soon as he appeared; Kate? Blanchett wore a large and dazzling necklace and walked slowly down the red carpet; Harrison? Ford, Penelope? Cruz and Hillary? Swank and other stars have also stepped on the red carpet and entered the Kodak Theater.

The Hollywood writers' strike, which lasted for more than two months, once made people worry about whether the 80th Academy Awards could be held as scheduled, but now that the strike is over, the suspense has been removed, and the Oscars have been a blessing in disguise.

ABC TV, which is the broadcaster, has surpassed $100 million in advertising revenue for the Oscars for the first time, and it seems that the writers' strike has raised everyone's interest in this year's Oscars.

At all the large-scale award ceremonies, the male stars are all black and old-fashioned, with nothing new and interesting.

Therefore, the heavy responsibility of attracting attention on the red carpet naturally falls on the shoulders of female stars, Hollywood is star-studded today, and a group of female stars who are brave in dressing up sparing no effort to show off their sexiness and nobility, and selling sexiness is no longer limited to low-cut and backless, slanted shoulders, slits, see-through and even retro ...... The tricks are endless.

Like male stars, black has always been the insurance choice for female stars at the awards ceremony. The calm temperament exuded by black can be interpreted as mysterious, can be interpreted as sexy, or it can be noble and rarely mistaken.

But at this year's Oscars, the female stars seemed to have agreed, and there were many people who moved to the red camp, and all of them chose bright red, the newly rising Anne? Hathaway, last actress Helen? Mirren and the retro beauty Catherine? Haigel, whether it is a veteran acting school or a youth idol. All have a soft spot for bright red, bringing fiery enthusiasm to the Oscars, which have always been noble and classic.

Just look at how often the lights flicker to see how strong their heat is.

Even more fervent, however, were the nearly 10,000 people who gathered on Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, holding up slogans -- against Iran's censorship of Hollywood, in favor of free speech in Hollywood -- and every now and then they let out a burst of shouts that completely silenced the voices of fans on the red carpet.

No wonder these liberals are so excited, just yesterday. The Iranian government has once again issued a criticism against Hollywood, arguing that the nomination of "I Grew Up in Iran" for Best Animated Feature Film and the nomination of "A Farewell" for Best Foreign Language Film are Hollywood's ulterior motives and insult the entire Iranian people. Regardless of the final outcome of the award, Iran will lodge a solemn protest.

At the same time, they also claim that Hollywood has been completely taken over by Jewish forces, which is a Zionist war against Iran.

In the midst of a protest from the liberal duì Iran. Marion? Cotillard walked the red carpet, and although she was thrilled to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, she saw it. The mood can't help but become bad.

In a series of important awards before, she lost almost all of them to Natalie? Portman, but also won a lot of film critics association awards, she knows that the other party and Disney behind it have a bad relationship with film critics, and film critics still have some influence on the aging Oscar judges, so she is not without the possibility of an upset.

But what about now?

The damned Iranians kept attacking the Jewish forces in Hollywood, and they were simply cutting off their own hopes of winning the prize.

Although he is French, he doesn't know much about Hollywood, Marion? Cotillard also understands that the essence of the Oscars is not much different from the Cannes Film Festival, and it will definitely be influenced by social politics.

According to her speculation, I am afraid that the four most important awards will fall on the heads of Jews.

After a few casual words in the interview area, she walked into the Kodak Theater, and greeted the people around her under the advice of the agent who came up, including Ryan? Jenkins.

He wasn't enthusiastic about himself, just a polite handshake and a nod, not even a smile, Marion? Cotillard can't be dissatisfied, her status is too different from the other party, I'm afraid in his eyes, she is no different from those unknown little actors.

Then, she saw Natalie, the favorite for Best Actress at this year's Oscars? Portman, the other party smiled exceptionally brightly, like the sunshine in Los Angeles yesterday, and she did have a reason to be so happy, after all, the best actress is almost within reach.

In her opinion, this award is simply impossible to upset, Jewish identity and Ryan? Jenkins' full support is almost the biggest guarantee of winning the award.

Marion? Cotillard is very unwilling, she thinks that she will never lose to the other party in acting.

However, the other aspects are too far away to win awards just for acting and roles? She's not that naïve yet.

There is also the social form, and Natalie is completely the beneficiary.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked at Ryan? In Jenkins' direction, a thought popped through his head.

Could this qiē be planned by the other party? So as for Natalie? Portman fought for the most advantageous form, after all, Iran is known for its hostility to Jews, after all, he and his films are the biggest profiteers, after all, he did things to persecute Iran when he operated "Argo".

If that's the case, his means ......

Shaking his head, Marion? Cotillard made up his mind not to offend anyone who had a close relationship with Disney no matter what.

Even, she strode up to Natalie? By Portman's side, with a smile like a spring breeze, he sent his best wishes.

"What did she tell you?"

As he walked up to Natalie, Ryan happened to see the French woman leaving, "It's not going to be a war book, is it?" ”

It's no wonder that he thinks so, female stars really want to compete with each other, and the means and thoughts they use are much more ruthless than those between male stars.

"Nothing." Natalie shook her head at him, "Just coming over and saying hi." ”

"Nat, it's almost time."

Mrs. Shelly on the other side walked over and pulled Natalie up, "It's time for us to go in." ”

Natalie sighed helplessly at Ryan, who waved her hand to Harvey, who was following behind her. Weinstein walked toward the theater lobby.

"There's nothing to worry about."

No one else around, Harvey? Weinstein whispered as he walked, "I get the exact news that Nat's advantage is very great. ”

"Where's Miramax?" Ryan asked.

"We are the most competitive." Harvey? Weinstein laughed, "With such a favorable social policy, if you don't win a few heavyweight awards, then Miramax should really go bankrupt." ”

"I don't want my investment to go down the drain."

Seeing that someone came over again, Ryan changed the topic, "Do a good job of network protection in the future, there will be a first time for this kind of thing, and there will be a second time." ”

"I understand."

Entering the hall, Ryan nodded to the person who greeted him, and found his seat, his position was not far forward, not bordering the "Black Swan" crew, but with Harvey? Weinstein, the big fat man, sat together.

Not far ahead is the seat of the "Black Swan" crew, Natalie greeted the people around her, sat down and began to look around.

"Nate ......"

Scarlett, who came in a little before her? Johnson asked curiously, "What are you looking at?" ”

"Nothing." Natalie finally saw Ryan's position and turned back to her back in reassurance, "Scarlett, are you ready for your acceptance speech?" ”

"Not very prepared." Scarlett shrugged, "You know, I'm leaning towards business right now, and those people aren't going to vote. ”

"Ryan and Disney did the PR for you too."

Hearing Natalie's words, Scarlett just smiled, but didn't say anything more, to say that she was not jealous at all, it was impossible, but more than ten years of friendship was enough to suppress this negativity.

Besides, I'm four years younger than Nat, and I still have time.

Best Supporting Actress, even if Ryan and Disney have done a lot of PR for her, but under the premise of guaranteeing Natalie to win, what are the chances that she can get?

"Why didn't Ryan sit with the crew?" She suddenly realized that Ryan wasn't nearby.

"It's in the back."

Natalie pointed casually, her eyes drifted to her mother's side unconsciously, Ryan was far away from the crew, presumably avoiding her mother, so as to reduce the possibility of intensifying the conflict.

Secretly sighed, she was the most difficult person in the middle, but fortunately, after the award ceremony, her mother would go back to New York, and she would be able to return to normal.

"Nat."

My mother's voice came to my ears, "What do you think of me as your manager?" ”

Natalie felt the urge to cover her forehead, but luckily the music started at this time, and she quickly said, "Mom, the awards ceremony is about to begin." ”

After a brief prefix tidbit, Jon, the host of The Daily Show? Stewart walked onto the stage, opening with the topic of the just-concluded Hollywood screenwriters' strike.

He said in a mocking tone, "The past two months have been very difficult, and the bitter writers' strike has torn Hollywood apart, and I am glad that this fight is over." ”

The Oscars officially ushered in their 80th birthday, and the 80th Academy Awards kicked off. (To be continued......)
