The 82nd Oscars are coming as scheduled, and the Kodak Theater is still on the Avenue of Stars, although the Kodak Group has not been doing well in recent years, but it has no intention of terminating the title.

And at this Oscars, the film school finally made some reforms, such as expanding the nominations for best picture to ten - well, this is no different from before the reform, it is nothing more than a few more chaperones.

It's like the bureaucrats, who seem to have made some changes, but in fact they don't use it at all, but they still smug and say, "Look, we've made a change."

Coupled with the fact that they hold power and public opinion is mostly on their side, only those who hardly want to do anything with the film school, or who don't care about taking some profits, will openly express their dissatisfaction or ridicule.

Most people don't blatantly do so, and they might even applaud the Academy, so when the awards ceremony arrives, the red carpet is still full of stars.

"If you want to say that you don't want to win the prize, it's definitely impossible, but I don't know what the chances are, so I'll leave it to God to decide." Sean said with a smile as he smiled into the microphone of the red carpet host.

Although the ratings of the Oscars in recent years have not been high, at least they are much worse than their peak, but after all, they are the most watched film awards in North America and even the world, and they are also the first line of Hollywood's influence. It can be said that if one day there is a need for cheating to boost the ratings in order to maintain the influence of Hollywood, they will definitely not hesitate to use it.

Therefore, as always, there are many reporters, standing on both sides and filming non-stop, and once asked by the host, Sean has to answer a few words.

At this time, he no longer hid it, and made it clear that he had the intention to win a second consecutive year. Of course, face still has to be given, so whether or not to win the award depends on God's arrangement.

"Do you think you're still 70 percent sure?" After leaving the host and posing in front of the camera for the reporter to take a few photos, Shaun, who found Weinstein, asked in a low voice.

"As I said, there are good and bad sides," Weinstein said nonchalantly, "there must be people who don't like you getting involved with the Recording Academy, but there are also people who think you're doing a good job and make the Recording Academy bow down - you should know that, don't you?" ”

Sean, of course, knew that in the post-Grammy lobbying sessions on Feb. 9, some people sneered at him for taking the Golden Gramophone again, and others praised him for his unprecedented achievements. It's not surprising that when lobbying in the past, some people ridiculed or praised various things, such as feeling that he didn't play a good role, or which movie was made well, etc., but this time it was replaced by a Grammy trophy.

"So you're just not sure, are you?" Weinstein smiled and asked, "It's surprising, you can be unsure sometimes, Sean, I thought you would always be confident." ”

"I'm still confident," Sean snorted, then sighed again, "I just need someone to remind me of my confidence." ”

Anyway, what he wants to do now, or what he expects to become a reality, is something that has never been done before, and it is not in the history of the Oscars that no one has won the Best Actor award, and Tom Hanks completed this feat only 15 years ago, the problem is that it is really a huge test to win it at such a young age.

Fortunately, some means were used to postpone some movies until next year, such as the small-budget movie "Crazy Heart". According to Weinstein, Jeff Bridges, who played the leading role in it, was the most likely threat to Sean.

Bridges has acting qualifications, he is not young, and he did perform well in "Crazy Heart" - Weinstein used some means to watch **** - the film school is very likely to lift him out and use it to plug Sean's mouth.

However, even if it took some effort to delay the release of this low-budget film until the second half of this year, the situation is still not optimistic, and even if Weinstein keeps talking about the probability of 70%, Sean can't be relaxed.

However, when he walked into the antechamber of the Kodak Theater, he saw the date engraved on the doorposts on both sides, which was the year the Oscars were held, from 1929 until last year, and soon this year will be inscribed.

So Sean calmed down, it was already this time, and it would be revealed in about four hours at most, so why should he be so flustered? So, even after taking a few steps inside and seeing Naomi who hadn't gone in yet, Sean just nodded to her.

I will definitely take her on the red carpet, and there are them, one at a time, wait and see. He thought to himself.

The hall of the Kodak Theater has not changed much, it is still three floors, plus the left and right sides, Galen They seem to be sitting upstairs? Sean quickly found his place, greeted someone familiar, and sat down.

Knock on your head and carefully recall the list of nominees for Best Actor, there is Colin Firth - British, which is both a disadvantage and an advantage; Morgan Freeman - There are only a few black actors; Jeremy Renner - the one who made up the number to accompany the runner; George Clooney -- I've already taken a little gold man.

The biggest threat is still Firth and Clooney, although it is difficult for the British to win the award, but maybe when the film school will give one to the wind, and Sean vaguely remembers that Firth won the best actor. As for the latter, like Sean, he has won a little golden man, not to mention his qualifications, if the film academy really wants to give a little golden man to someone who has already won an award, he will be considered first.

Thinking of this, Sean laughed, he said before why panic, but now he is starting to think about this again, it's really helpless. Okay, okay, it's the last moment anyway, and when he came in before, he had already seen the accountant of Puyonghua Road coming to the scene with a suitcase, so wait patiently.

In fact, in addition to Best Actor, Sean is also very concerned about Best Movie and Best Actress, because of "Avatar", he remembers that the best film at this Oscar seems to be "Bomb Disposal Unit", and the best director is Kathryn Bigelow of "Bomb Disposal Unit", James Cameron's ex-wife.

It may not be easy for Hazanavicius to win the best director, but it is difficult to say the best film, politics and nostalgia, which side will the film school choose? Will the first best female director be won and then the best film will be given to The Artist?

It's really hard to choose, after all, it's reincarnation that released "Bomb Disposal Unit", and it's also interesting to fight yourself like this.

Sean shook his head, these will be revealed soon, don't worry too much, but if he can, he still hopes that Naomi can win a Best Actress.

Although many people, including Weinstein, believed that Naomi would have a higher chance of winning if she applied for Best Supporting Actress, Sean insisted on declaring the actress and invested a lot of money in public relations.

Although this year there is Sandra Bullock of "Weakness" - also thanks to "Avatar", Sean still has an impression of him, but Naomi is not bad, she also has qualifications, she also has a reputation, but the difference is only time and nationality.

But Naomi can be said to be the embodiment of the American dream - which is how PR packaged her - and persevered day in and day out, finally seizing the opportunity to become famous.

In addition, her performance in "The Artist" is definitely better than Sandra's performance in "Weakness", plus the film that has been revised several times and the name "The Artist" is more appropriate, so Sean believes that she has a fight.

"So, there's more to hope for tonight." Sean pinched his fingers and muttered.

Soon, with most of the people seated, the award ceremony finally began. The stage has not changed much, since the awards have been presented in the same place for several years in a row, it is naturally not easy to change in this regard, so if you want to attract more eyeballs, you can only work hard in other aspects, such as the host, such as the opening statement.

This year's opening remarks were creative, with the nominees for Best Actor and Actress appearing on stage together to be called by narrators to applause, and then the Best Supporting Actor nominees took the stage to lead them down.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, it was Blake Lively who led Sean down.

"In the Clouds" also won a lot of nominations this year, in addition to Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor in Clooney, it also won two Best Supporting Actresses, Vera Farmiga and Blake Lively.

Although the probability of her winning the award is very low, it is enough to raise eyebrows in front of Leighton Mester, so after the nominees came out, the two of them had a good fight with Sean in bed.

After that, there was a grand dance, which was very gorgeous and indeed pleasing to the eye, and then the rare double host appeared.

This year's Oscars were hosted by Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin, the third time Martin and Baldwin hosted the Oscars, and it was the second time since 1987 that the Academy of Motion Pictures invited multiple hosts to run the ceremony.

I have to admit that it's still interesting to turn over the old things from time to time to show them, and the interaction between the two old guys is also very interesting, but Sean's attention is not on this, even if he has calmed down, he is still a little impatient occasionally.

However, no matter how impatient he was, the ceremony proceeded slowly, starting with technical awards - not always, before awarding Best Supporting Actor, with Penelope Cruz as a guest, to Christopher Waltz of "Inglourious Basterds."

The next technical awards were basically divided between "Avatar" and "Bomb Disposal Unit", which is very surprising, isn't it, "Avatar", as a super special effects blockbuster, was actually snatched away by "Bomb Disposal Unit" and several technical awards!

But that's the case, the editing, sound effects and sound effects editing were taken away by "Bomb Disposal Unit", and "Avatar" only received cinematography, visual effects and art direction, so it's no wonder that some media will joke that this Oscar is a dispute between an ex-husband and an ex-wife.
