King of Hollywood

The sacred auditorium on Jefferson Boulevard near the University of Southern California in the south of central Los Angeles, ushered in countless reporters and flashing lights again today. , the appearance of the crowds of people was even more lively than previous sessions.

This is not surprising. From the announcement of the nomination list to the present, a lot of news has happened around this year's Oscars, attracting the attention of countless reporters and ordinary people. First, when the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences mailed ballots to members, they disappeared in transit, so much so that they had to resend them and extend the voting deadline to March 23. [M]

Then the "San Francisco Chronicle" secretly obtained voting information from the judges and tried to announce the selection results in advance. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was so angry that it issued an open letter on March 10, accusing the "San Francisco Chronicle" of such behavior. It is a violation of the film academy's integrity and legal action will be taken if it is not stopped.

Next, 55 statuettes disappeared during transportation, and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences had to contact the manufacturer to remake them. Fortunately, 52 of these statuettes were recovered on the 20th. According to gossip, the transport driver stole the statuettes on the spur of the moment, and then an old homeless man found the statuettes in the garbage dump and reported them to the police. The college rewarded the statuettes with 50,000 US dollars. tramp.

If you have a little head and the spirit of in-depth research, you only need to divide it carefully and you will find that the first time to publish these stolen news is the media under the media, and the "San Francisco Chronicle" is also the property of the Hearst Group.

Of course, no one discovered this, and even if someone saw the clues, they would not gnaw at it. It is meaningless to chase these things, and it is enough to ask whether the film academy is hype-after these few news came out, the originally weak Oscar The award ceremony received a lot of attention immediately and continues to this day.

However, the enthusiasm of the reporters is not all on this. The big and small stars at the awards ceremony are the objects they pay the most attention to. Let me give you a simple example. Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, who have never been on the same occasion since their divorce, have a Best Supporting Actor nomination. A nominee for Best Actress, if they can be photographed in the same picture on the red carpet or in the auditorium, tomorrow's newspaper sales will increase by two percentage points no matter what.

Although the reporters all know that this is unlikely, both Cruise and Nicole will inevitably stagger the time, but who knows what will happen then? Plans are never as fast as changes. Maybe an accident will make their wishes come true. It would be even better if the miracle director Adrian can also be filmed.

However, that's unlikely, Cruise and Nicole are still missing. Adrian had already appeared in front of everyone, and he was chatting with Kim Carrey at the moment. Speaking of which, this is also an amazing aspect of this year's Oscars. Kim Carrey, who has always been known for his exaggerated comedies, won a Best Actor nomination for "The Man on the Moon"!

"This fully proves that the best comedians are not bad at acting in serious dramas." Facing countless flashing cameras, Adrian patted Jim Carrey on the shoulder and said so.

"How does it feel, Kim, first Oscar nomination." After entering the hallowed auditorium. Adrian asked him with a smile.

"Hmm...it's amazing." Kerry thought for a long time and gave such an answer, then grinned and showed a signature smile, a little excited and a little shy.

"It seems that you are very confident, maybe you can win the Oscar for Best Actor like the Golden Globe." Adrian said jokingly.

"I'm self-aware. Ed," Kerry shook his head first. But he immediately cheered up again, "But at least I tried, and they recognized my efforts, so I won't just give up."

As he said that, he turned his head to look at Adrian, with a sincere look: "I want to thank you, Ed, I really appreciate it...it's nothing, as you said, you have worked hard, and in this case, you have to Admit it." Adrian smiled and patted him on the shoulder again, and then sighed in his heart after watching him leave, and he could only help him so far.

First, he delayed the release of "The Truman Show" until 1999, and then when Universal's production department asked him for his opinion on the actor candidate for "The Man on the Moon", he named Jim Carrey without hesitation. With the prestige of two films and his slight push from behind, Jim Carrey finally got a best actor nomination.

However, it can only stop here. The film academy discriminates against comedians just like it discriminates against sci-fi film directors. Even sci-fi directors may be nominated, but comedies like Kim Carrey are known for their exaggerated style. It is basically impossible for an actor to nominate or even win the best actor, no matter how outstanding his acting skills are.

So in the previous life, no matter how hard Jim Carrey tried to act, he couldn't win the favor of the film academy, and he couldn't even get a nomination. For the sake of everyone getting along well, Adrian did him such a favor, and it was considered a wish of his. As for whether Kim Carrey will be inspired by this in the future, and continue to attack Oscar in vain, That is something beyond Adrian's control.

Entering the hall of the sacred auditorium that has been there countless times, Adrian quickly found his place, that is, the crew of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". As always, the heroine sat next to him.

"I thought you wouldn't be back in a while." Monica said with a light smile. She was wearing a black evening dress with lace, and her black hair was simply tied behind her head. She was mature and sexy. The style is as charming as ever.

"I don't want to keep you waiting for a long time." Adri said pretentiously.

"It's because no one else has met it." Monica snorted immediately, her crooked eyes carried a smile that couldn't be hidden. Under the influence of Kate and the others, she became fond of teasing him. Of course, the number of times Not many.

Adrian just shrugged his shoulders. Although Julia, Gwyneth, and Blanchett all participated, he didn't see any of them on the red carpet, and finally entered the auditorium. I saw Zeta Jones from a distance, but at that time Jim Carrey was by his side, so it was not easy to wait there with him. So straight in.

"It's a pity that Sophie didn't come." Adrian then changed the subject.

Seeing his appearance, Monica also smiled and talked about other things according to his meaning: "Sophie wants to stay at home with Diva and Juliet. The children must have at least one mother by their side."

"Oh, at least one mother?" Adrian drawled.

"It's like this anyway, what else can I say?" Monica looked at him and spread his hands.

"Okay, let's change the subject," Adrian laughed and squeezed her hand. The other hand was squeezed into a "microphone" and handed to her, "Dear Miss Monica, you are about to be crowned tonight, what do you think about it?"

"We won't know the result until the award ceremony is almost over. Ed." Even though Monica said so, a faint flush of excitement still inevitably appeared on her face, and her gaze at Adrian became softer.

"Didn't you see those critics' comments? As for the audience's opinion. The box office has given the best answer, so why worry? And I've got a competitor for you." Adrian shrugged and said.

Monica burst out laughing, of course she knew who he was talking about, even if she was a little upset because of the scene she thought of. It will also disappear quickly.

"Okay, Monica, don't worry, I've put in so much effort just to let you win the Oscar for Best Actress with your strength. Believe me." Adrian took her hand and patted her gently. shoot.

That fellow Harvey Weinstein spent so many resources and made such a big deal come out. Hearst Group is also involved. However, he is also prescribing the right medicine, because the weight of the participating films is not enough except for "American Beauty", so in the previous sample survey, people paid much less attention to this year's Oscars. With such hype, the attention was immediately drawn back , is definitely a good thing for the film school.

However, if this fails, Adrian will definitely not let Weinstein pass the test easily.

"I believe." Monica replied with a smile, holding Adrian's hand tightly.

Monica still has some advantages, although film critics are quite controversial about the vague picture in "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily". Okay, this kind of cover-up behavior is pointless. But they still praised Monica's acting skills unanimously, especially the four classic shots designed by Adrian, which were almost 90% positive.

In addition, there are quite a few Italian actors in Hollywood, and the best actor was awarded to an Italian actor last year. Why can't the best actress be awarded to an Italian actor this year?

Well, let's skip it for now, these have been said too much before, and as the awards ceremony is about to begin, Adrian also focused on the stage. Billy Crystal, as always, was good at invigorating the atmosphere. After the pre-play, he came up singing and dancing. The lyrics even made fun of most of the celebrities, and won a lot of applause and whistles.

Being able to host the Oscars nearly ten times, Krystal is also considered to be outstanding, although his style does not seem to have changed much - oh, a little changed, and his forehead is getting more and more bald - but everyone just likes it .

"Everyone likes me, and I like everyone, what a wonderful thing." It sounds normal to speak like this, but Christo turned his head to the side and licked his ears, with a bored and absent-minded look, and the schedule of what he said The strong contrast made people laugh out loud, and Adrian applauded along with the crowd.

As always, technical awards take the lead, such as best make-up, best editing, best art direction, etc., because of Adrian, there have been a lot of changes in certain awards, such as the best visual effects, which should belong to "The Matrix", but because it was released a year earlier, this award was won by another film-"Star Wars Episodes: The Phantom Menace".

Although many hardcore Star Wars movie fans are very dissatisfied with the prequels, even complaining that Lucas ruined the series, and the film academy has always discriminated against science fiction movies, but this kind of technical awards, there is no better and more When it comes to creative candidates, it is none other than "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace", which can be regarded as a comfort to Lucas.

However, the most changed is Best Supporting Actor and Actor. The supporting actor nomination is because there is no "Cider House Law"-the adaptation rights of this novel were taken by him early in order to prepare for Kate, so it was not produced last year- There is no "The Sixth Sense", so there are two more actors on the nomination list that Adrian is not very familiar with. certainly. Cruise's luck is still so bad, or not liked by the film school as always. The Best Supporting Actor corner went to Paul Schofield. After the British veteran actor won the Best Actor in the 1960s, he once again raised the Oscar statuette.

As for Best Supporting Actress, Catherine Keener of "Puppet Life" won the honor, and "Moving Girl" is still only a novel. And the original one, who won the adult Oscar for Best Actress for the third time last year, has become a new generation of sex queen, with wild appearance, sexy thick chún, outstanding acting skills and unscrupulous style. It made her very popular among men.

Really worthy of Joey? Water's daughter, no matter what line of work can do the best. When applauding Catherine Keener, Adrian thought full of evil humor. Still not as good as the other one. That one is indeed a top student at Stanford, although he dropped out of school halfway. At the beginning, she was shooting large-scale portraits for "Penthouse", and then somehow became the playmate girl of "Playboy", and she also had a hot fight with the old man Hugh Hefner. Adrian once participated in Hefner's Saw her once at a slumber party.

Shake your head. Adrian withdrew his thoughts and continued to pay attention to tonight's awards. He had no nominations, just one for best original screenplay for Tales of Sicily, but that award clearly went to Alan Ball. So he couldn't help but sigh when Best Foreign Language Film went to the Spanish film "About My Mother." If there had been Italian capital injected into the production of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", there is no doubt that it could have competed for the best foreign language film. The award will be his.

However, this idea only turned around in my head two or three times before throwing it out. It doesn't matter if it is there or not. Anyway, the main purpose of this movie is to push Monica to the throne of Best Actress, so even if she didn't get it at the beginning It doesn't matter to be nominated for the best director, and Adrian has a bigger plan on it, although the possibility of success is still not very high given his current status, but once it succeeds...

The award presentation was still going on, "American Beauty" finally started to show its brilliance, and won the best photography and best original screenplay in one fell swoop. Special thanks to Sam Mendes and Adrian. However, Adrian didn't hear it. It has become his habit to leave in the middle of the Oscar ceremony, but this time it took a little longer.

"If you don't come back, the awards ceremony will be over." Monica complained a little, then sniffed in front of him, and then showed a suspicious look. Although it smelled of perfume, it wasn't as strong as after fooling around with a woman, at most it was the level of cuddling and kissing, so what did he do when he left?

"Okay, dear, don't worry about these things, the most important moment is coming." Facing Monica with a suspicious expression, Adrian said with a smile.

If she gets down on the ground, she will immediately sniff out the abnormality, because this time she has to deal with two people-they are used to advancing and retreating together-the timing is not very suitable, it is a little later, if there is a delay After a long time, he might really miss the award that he was most concerned about tonight, so he just enjoyed some verbal service.

Even so, he played with them "sexually" for twenty or thirty minutes, and Blanchett and Gwyneth's tongues became more and more flexible, especially when they joined forces.

Well, after the best soundtrack and other awards have been awarded, the best part of this year's Oscars and the climax are coming-it is worth mentioning that because "The Cider House Rules" was not produced last year, the final The best adapted screenplay went to Anthony Minghella, giving the old British man another Oscar after winning best director a few years ago.

"At this time, I feel very sad, because it means that the awards ceremony is coming to an end, but at the same time, I am very excited, because I have finally waited for the most exciting moment." Christo clenched his hands tightly, viciously He waved at everyone, "Does anyone dare to say that he doesn't think so?"

There was a lot of laughter.

"Okay, now, let our award presenters come out." He waved his hand vigorously, and Roberto Bernini immediately came up from the backstage with an envelope.

"I'm very glad that I'm on this stage again..." Bernini said in a brisk voice with a smile on his face, without being too ostentatious like last year. Following his introduction, the faces of the candidates were displayed on the screen next to him. Show lù come out.

Nicole Kidman in American Beauty, Monica Bellucci in Tales of Sicily, Julianne Moore in End of Love, Meryl Streep in Heart Song , Hilary Swank of "Boys Don't Cry", although they look calm on the outside, they must be feeling ups and downs underneath.

"They are all very good actresses, they interpret the
