In short, with the announcement of the nominations this time, the competition for this year's Oscars has also entered a new stage.

All kinds of gifts and PR activities have come one after another, although the rules prohibit excessive PR at the Oscars.

But in the final analysis, the grasp of this degree is still very vague.

At the very least, giving the judges a new DVD player to watch their films is a sign of sincerity, not a so-called bribery.

As for the "little gifts" that come with it......

Although many of the judges of the Oscars are current or former stars, they are not bad for money, but because of Hollywood's poor and extravagant consumption habits, there are also many people who have spent all their money.

What's more, there are some people who become judges as screenwriters or other behind-the-scenes workers, and they are not particularly rich in the first place......

In short, the annual public relations for the Oscars is a time when the nominees cross the sea and show their powers.

Charlize is no exception.

Although because of Tom Cruise's existence, she is not Pat Kingsley's first customer.

But when the former was busy with divorce and had no time to work for the time being, so she could only keep making trouble, Jin Sili was still very pleased that one of her stars could hit the title of actress.

Therefore, she also called on a lot of resources from the CAA to build momentum for Charlize.

Coupled with the large amount of public relations expenses invested by Charlize himself, the momentum suddenly rose.

In the many Oscar outposts – such as the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the Golden Globes and more – Charlize has been inextricably linked to the likes of Hilary Swank and Meryl Streep.

As the director of "The Devil Woman", Patty Jenkins also drew cards to take the film to a Berlin Film Festival.

At this film festival, which is dominated by political films and thrillers, the feminist "Female Devil" shines -

The film was nominated for the Golden Bear.

And Charlize, although she is no longer suitable to fly to Berlin because of her pregnancy month, still won the Silver Bear Award for Best Actress.

In fact, according to the habits of the three major European film festivals, it is generally difficult for movie stars who do not attend to the festival to win awards.

- In their opinion, this is a sign of disrespect for the organizers.

But after all, the reason why Charlize was not there was very reasonable. So, in the absence of a stronger opponent, Charlize still won this award.

And this Silver Bear Award also added a lot of points to Charlize's Oscar PR journey.

Although Americans have always looked down on the awards of the three major European film festivals, Venice, Cannes, and Berlin, on the surface, it is more because they basically can't pee on the same pot as Europeans who are basically "literary".

- Most American films go to the three major European film festivals, and they can only play soy sauce.

- To put it bluntly, "literary" Europeans also can't watch overly commercial American films.

But once America's own movie star or director wins the grand prize of the three major European film festivals, it will immediately be blown into the sky by the American media.

- Like Ravan Phoenix before he died, wasn't he blown up by the American media as an acting genius because he won the Best Actor award at the Venice Film Festival?

And even though he has now become a headless horseman, Ruifan is still quite proud of his experience back then.

In short, the Silver Bear gave Charlize a considerable advantage in the Oscar race.

And her bigger advantage is the growing belly.

You must know that in Charlotte's original world, Natalie Portman's ability to win the title of actress has a lot to do with her pregnancy at the time.

- The human world has always had more care for pregnant women and children.

And unlike some movie stars who are temporarily pregnant before and after the nomination, Charlize was already a lot of months when he was nominated.

After a recent check-up, it is more likely that the due date will be a few days before and after the 72nd Academy Awards.

Although this made Charlotte and Charlize themselves a little worried, it did add a lot of sympathy points.

At the very least, you can participate in fewer public relations drinking parties, and when you participate, you don't have to drink alcohol.

Of course, it's impossible to win because of this.

Whether it is Hillary Swank or Julian Moore and others, they will not admit defeat.

What's more, although Charlize has occupied some advantages for various reasons, it has not reached the level of comprehensively suppressing other opponents.

In this case, the suspense remains.

And in order to counterattack, in addition to head-to-head competition, some smearing tricks have also begun to appear.

For example, recently, some Hollywood tabloids have begun to report on Charlize's father......

"Sure enough, someone will dig this out!"

Charlotte sighed.

To be honest, he's been having a pretty nervous time lately.

On the one hand, he oversaw the post-production of Sherlock Holmes, while also trying out the game of the same name from the studio's games department.

- The game has already produced an initial internal beta and is being tested and optimized internally.

- Because a large part of the game's creativity came from Charlotte, he naturally couldn't just let it go.

On the other hand, he also needs to manage the day-to-day work of the Ghost Party Studio-

With the success of Death Note and the takeover of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings project, the work of the Ghost Party Studios has become more and more complicated.

What's more, because of the ownership of IMAX, Charlotte also has to participate in some of IMAX's decision-making.

- These things alone have already made his daily routine very busy.

What's more, at the same time, he has to follow up on the preparations for his wedding with Charlize.

Although most of the work can be outsourced to professionals, as the protagonists of the wedding, he and Charlize are still more or less involved in the decisions of some things.

- This is their wedding after all.

In fact, through this period of understanding, Charlotte has realized that the wedding may be a seemingly happy moment, but this "happiness" comes at the cost of countless tediousness and fatigue of the day.

- Even though Charlotte is a rich man, there are some things that need to be done by herself.

In fact, as a person who has come over, Lao Gun told Charlotte that many newlyweds' wedding nights will not have any plots that everyone likes to see-

After all, a newcomer with average physical strength, after a day of tossing, was exhausted at that time, and he didn't have that physical strength and interest at all.

What's more, most couples now have experience before marriage, plus they may also encounter the woman's menstrual cycle......

- In short, the beauty of the wedding is largely what it seems.

In order to prepare for this, coupled with Charlize as a pregnant mother, the cycle of testing is getting shorter and shorter......

"It's really annoying that there are people doing things in this situation!"

Charlotte, who has been growing a little tempered recently because she is busy, glanced at Charlize who was also helpless, and suddenly had an idea,

"Sally, I'll just use the Death Note to kill the troublemakers directly!"
