Chapter 734 Boring Oscar
"Heath Ledger's Joker is so great, why doesn't it win?"
"Philip Seymour Hoffman is certainly good, but he is not as good as Heath Ledger at all, and the Oscar judges are unfair."
"Yes, not recognizing such an outstanding role will destroy the actor's confidence. From this aspect, the Oscars are far inferior to the Golden Globes."
Even more radical fans say Heath Ledger deserves a Best Actor award. For those who didn’t know, I thought the Joker was the protagonist in The Dark Knight.
In fact, judging from the scale of the entire awards ceremony, scene design, and even the topics discussed by the host, the impact of the financial crisis on Hollywood is obvious.
The Avenue of Stars before the ceremony was obviously much smaller in scale.
Since sponsors are hard to find, the conference does not hesitate to openly advertise fashion designers and jewelry brands through celebrity interviews. This kind of condescending approach was rarely seen in the past.
The entire stage design and seat design of the Kodak Theater also strive to avoid luxury and extravagance. The distance between the audience's seats and the awards stage is only a few steps away.
It gives the audience the feeling that the people in front of and behind the scenes in the American film industry are not just dressed up to watch a luxurious awards stage show, but a professional exchange and emotional exchange between peers.
The stage for this awards ceremony was designed by New York architect David Rockwell. The overall concept of the stage design came from Michelangelo's Piazza del Campido. There were 92,000 Swarovski crystals surrounding the stage.
In addition, the time for the speeches of the winners of this session was clearly limited to 45 seconds.
As soon as the speaker opens his mouth, a large display screen starts a 45-second countdown. At 10 seconds, the numbers turn into yellow characters, and after 45 seconds, the background turns into red characters.
This year's Oscars provides manufacturers with watches worth US$8,000 for each of the finalists and award presenters.
In addition to high-end watches, there are also glass artworks and a full set of top-notch skin care products. With all the gifts added up, everyone can take home a gift package worth at least US$25,000.
Hugh Jackman's opening performance combined singing and dancing with a traditional joking opening line, which little Gilbert felt was a bit out of place.
But the lyrics are still very funny, and the duet with Beyoncé attracted a lot of applause.
The supporting actress and supporting actor awards were presented, and the five former winners each introduced a candidate in a novel and gorgeous way.
The short clips that introduce the film are beautifully connected, and each arrangement is extremely spoofy and relevant to the theme.
In order to control the time of the party, awards were given intensively. The reform of awarding one award to multiple people and multiple awards to one person ensured that the essence of the entire award ceremony was concentrated.
After the awards ceremony, the Governors Ball was held at the Oscars celebration dinner hosted by Vanity Fair magazine.
Mr. Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger personally invited Kate Winslet, the best actress at this Oscar, and the two danced together.
In addition, the banquet was full of Asian style, and the dishes included Asian-flavored lobster salad, Thai pumpkin and coconut soup, ribs slow-cooked for 6 hours, and broth bibimbap.
It's a pity that after so much work and preparation, the Oscar ratings are still declining.
"Variety" magazine analyzed that this is because Oscar's tastes are gradually deviating from the public.
"The tastes of the Oscars have become more and more niche in recent years. It seems that in order to show the Academy's unique taste, the award-winning films selected are not the same as the films that the public considers to be good."
"The Hollywood Reporter" also criticized: "The Academy's conservatism is the main reason for the decline in Oscar attention, even if certain innovations have been made to the awards ceremony this year.
But as long as the criteria for judging awards do not change, this decline is inevitable. ”
Little Gilbert was an audience member at this year's Oscars and didn't even have to present an award. At the final Oscar dinner, he had a long chat with Arnold Schwarzenegger.
Arnold Schwarzenegger is a blue man, and being the governor of a blue state can only be a blue man. However, he himself did not have a good deal with the far-left California Gang and repeatedly vetoed the California Gang's proposals during his tenure.
Speaking of which, the future popularity of DEI will be driven by major capital groups, but the biggest planner is the California Gang. California is also the base camp of DEI in the future, so this position is very important.
"I heard that you fought hard with those people?" "I don't want to either, but sometimes they bully people too much, and I can't help it."
Little Gilbert pretended to be innocent, but in fact he was very innocent. He is kind to people, but some people want to make things difficult for him.
Little Gilbert then said: "Mr. Schwarzenegger, don't you want to go to Washington? Just like Ronald."
"Moving towards Washington?" Arnold Schwarzenegger looked at little Gilbert: "Do I have this ability? You must know that no one in the blue team supports me."
"It all depends on people!"
Little Gilbert said: "Don't worry, as long as you are willing, I will find someone to do the rest."
Arnold Schwarzenegger hesitated and said, "I'll think about it!"
Although this thing is tempting, the risk is too great and I dare not make a decision easily.
You know, once you embark on this path, there is no chance of turning back.
On the way back in the evening, Anne Hathaway asked little Gilbert: "How was it? Have you talked to Mr. Governor?"
This book was recently updated in ##六@@九@@书@@!! Updated!
"We have talked about it, but I don't think there is much hope." Little Gilbert said: "We should consider finding someone to replace Mr. Schwarzenegger. We cannot let his political legacy be lost."
It's not yet time for the red group to change, and at this time, Donald has no intention of red group. In order to keep his fruits, little Gilbert had to dig a hole in the California Gang's base camp.
Recently, the leader of the blue group supported by the California Gang has settled in Washington. The things he proposed are to revitalize the economy and medical business. .
Especially the last one, it was the most fatal thing to little Gilbert.
You know, he and Steve Jobs have opened ten medical centers and are expanding rapidly.
With good results, it has quickly occupied the high-end market of traditional medical complexes. And little Gilbert doesn't share profits with these medical complexes, so people are envious of him.
The leader of the blue group, who was backed by the medical complex, came to power, and the business plan he launched was aimed at the medical center of Gilbert Jr. and Steve Jobs.
Anne Hathaway held little Gilbert's arm and smiled sweetly.
"You don't have to worry about us, no matter what you do, we will support you.
Even if we travel around the world in the future, as long as we are together as a family, we have nothing to fear. ”
Little Gilbert was so moved that he touched Anne Hathaway's hair and kissed her forehead.
"Don't worry, things won't come to that." Little Gilbert said with a smile: "We have laid a big foundation here, and we can't have no resistance at all."
After the Oscars, time suddenly went on a fast track and it was March in the blink of an eye.
The closer we get to the summer season, the hotter the movie market becomes.
But the most anticipated film in March is "Knives Out."
Due to the scale of the film, "Knives Out" did not undergo large-scale publicity. Little Gilbert brought Tom Cruise and Jessica Alba on the show, which was considered promotion.
At the same time, other summer blockbusters are also not idle, and various trailers continue to impact the audience's eyes.
