Chapter 733 The beginning of the year
Let’s turn our attention to the Oscar nomination list. Warner Pictures and Heath Ledger did a lot of public relations work and finally got an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor.
But if you want to further win this award, it will not be that easy.
After all, Heath Ledger is not dead, and Oscar will not have sympathy points.
In addition, "The Dark Knight" won several technical awards, including best photography, best editing, best visual effects, best sound editing, best art direction, best makeup, best sound, etc.
There are quite a few nominations, and I should be able to win one or two awards.
There were no nominations for Best Picture and Best Director, and everyone felt sorry for little Gilbert.
But little Gilbert didn't care much: "Oscar is trying to balance."
"I think you deserve a nomination for Best Director," said Charles Rowan indignantly.
Little Gilbert shrugged: "Charles, don't be so excited. The Academy's habit of discriminating against superhero movies has been around for a long time, and it cannot be changed in a short time.
Unless, I die. ”
Charles Rowan was stunned for a moment, then laughed.
"Indeed, as long as you die, the Academy will definitely nominate you out of sympathy."
Charles Rowan changed the topic: "But you can't die, you are still very young."
"The Dark Knight" has aroused great social repercussions, and the content of discussion is no longer limited to the film, but has spread to real society.
For such an influential film, if you don't give it a few nominations, the Academy will be flooded with public praise.
But when it comes to nominations for heavyweight awards, the Academy is unwilling to do so.
According to Scarlett, if she were to present an award, she would definitely be nominated for Best Picture and Best Director.
But unfortunately, Oscar is not the decision of Scarlett.
"Kung Fu Panda" and "Wall-E" produced by Pixar Studios were both nominated for the Oscar for Best Animated Feature Film.
Another thing related to little Gilbert is that Anne Hathaway was nominated for Best Actress for "Sister's Wedding".
Anne Hathaway specially called Gilbert to help her canvass votes to compete for the Oscar.
But to be honest, Anne Hathaway's hopes are not very high, and the other competitors are very strong.
But from another perspective, if you are not nominated for the award this time, the chance of winning the next award will be greatly increased.
It's a blessing in disguise, but it's not a blessing!
Since January 2009, the entire film market seems to have entered a hot trend. The specific representative is that the films released have achieved good results, and the theater audience is still increasing.
The most significant thing is that the overall box office in January increased from US$891 million to US$1.035 billion, breaking the record in the North American market.
The impact of the financial crisis continues. During the economic crisis, the cultural and entertainment industries ushered in great development.
It seems that everyone wants to use these things to escape the troubles caused by the real world.
Entering February, movies that are aiming for this summer's summer release have also released trailers. However, "Knives Out" directed by Gilbert Jr. is scheduled to be released on March 14 and does not participate in the competition for the summer release.
Maybe I didn't expect that Gilbert Jr.'s movie would arrive at this time, and "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" was first announced.
"Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" has no time to change its schedule and has to face the lineup of Gilbert Jr. and Tom Cruise.
This movie was released by 20th Century Fox, and the production company was a game company called Capcom.
This game company is revered as the Action King by game fans, and its fighting games are very popular. "Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li" is adapted from Capcom's fighting game.
It is worth mentioning that this movie also has an actress named He Chaoyi participating. She is the daughter of gambling king Stanley Ho. Her brother invested a sum of money in the movie and put his sister, Chaoyi Ho, in it.
If he could be more shameless, He Chaoyi could call herself an international superstar. After all, when she walks on the red carpet, she is an international superstar, and she even participated in a movie.
Of course, Ho Chaoyi is paying close attention to her first Hollywood movie.
When she learned that this movie was actually on the same schedule as "Knives Out" and that the director was Little Gilbert. I was very surprised, I didn't expect that this day would come to her.
Ho Chaoyi is not a fan of Little Gilbert. Because of her family relationship, she knows many movie stars in Hong Kong, including Cheng Long.
When she was a child, she often visited Cheng Long's home and was very familiar with Cheng Long.
After learning that her movie was going to compete with Little Gilbert's movie, Ho Chaoyi immediately ran to ask Cheng Long.
Cheng Long said: "There is no need to think about defeating little Gilbert. The number of film directors who can compete with him can be counted on one hand."
Ho Chaoyi curiously asked Cheng Long: "You are very familiar with Director Gilbert Little. What kind of person is he?"
"What kind of person?" Cheng Long thought for a moment before replying: "A talented director with many ideas and weird ideas."
"What about in private?"
Please...you...collect 6...9...books...!
"Privately, he is a warm and cheerful person. He is knowledgeable and educated, speaks well and is well-educated."
"Really?" He Chaoyi was thoughtful.
She begged Cheng Long: "If you have a chance, can you take me to meet him? I want an autograph and a photo."
Cheng Long didn't think much about it: "Well, no problem, I'll take you to meet little Gilbert when it's his birthday."
Little Gilbert didn't know that He Chaoyi, the daughter of the gambling king who was far away across the ocean, was interested in him. If he knew, he would probably complain:
You're too ugly and I'm not interested.
Little Gilbert was only interested in beauties. If he wanted to sleep with a beauty in China, he would look for a beautiful one.
When filming the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy in the dormitory in China, little Gilbert almost slept with Xu Qing. Later, due to some strange combination of circumstances, he failed to sleep, otherwise little Gilbert might have started his stamp collecting journey.
On February 22, 2009, the awards ceremony was held at the Kodak Theater in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California, USA.
The awards ceremony was hosted by Australian actor Hugh Jackman and was broadcast live on ABC channel.
As expected, Heath Ledger missed out on the Best Supporting Actor award, and Philip Seymour Hoffman won the award for "Abuse."
"Slumdog Millionaire" won the best picture award, and Danny Boyle won the best director award for the film.
Sean Penn won the Best Actor award for "Milk" and Kate Winslet won the Best Actress award for "The Reader."
"The Dark Knight" won the technical awards and won the best cinematography. John Schwartzman has won this award for the third time.
Serena Hafey won the best art director award. As Gilbert's royal art director, this is the fifth time she has won the best art director award.
The rest also won, Best Editing, Best Visual Effects, and Best Sound Editing, taking home five awards in total.
The Oscars seemed to use this way of dividing the cake to prove that they had absolutely no intention of discriminating against "The Dark Knight."
However, after the awards ceremony, fans still complained about "The Dark Knight" and believed that "The Dark Knight" deserves more awards.
What's more, they think "The Dark Knight" was the best film last year, and Gilbert Jr. should also win the best director.
Of course, these awards were not even nominated, so they were given up.
But last year, Heath Ledger's Joker was so great that it was only nominated but didn't win. This made movie fans very dissatisfied and they all complained about it.
