Chapter 466 Interesting facts behind the Oscars


Chapter 466 Interesting Facts Behind the Oscars
By March, the heat of the Super Bowl incident between Justin Timberlake and Janet Jackson had passed, but the subsequent impact of this incident was still great.

Not only the TV station and Super Bowl organizers, but also the quarrel between the guests.

Because of this incident, the Super Bowl had to be delayed to thirty seconds to prevent similar accidents from happening again.

The most talked about event in March is undoubtedly the Oscars.

In fact, in terms of traffic, the increasingly conservative Oscars ceremony is far inferior to the Super Bowl.

Oscar also worked hard to increase the popularity. On a whim, I wanted little Gilbert to be the host of the Oscars.

Generally speaking, Hollywood directors do not receive such invitations.

Only comedians, talk show hosts and the like host the Oscars.

Maybe the Oscar organizers saw that Gilbert was relatively young and wanted a new taste, so they invited Gilbert to host the Oscars ceremony.

However, Gilbert Jr. refused. He felt that he did not have the humor and eloquence to host the Oscars ceremony.

Even if he was like this, Oscar would not let him go.

Because according to tradition, the winner of the previous Best Director will be awarded the award to the winner of this Best Director. There was no need for little Gilbert to refuse, so he agreed.

In conjunction with the Oscar campaign and movie promotion, the two Toms shared the stage for the first time to present awards to this year's Oscar winner.

Charlize Theron, as last year's Oscar winner, will also present this year's Oscar winner.

The Oscars understand traffic. Although they are unwilling to make big compromises for the sake of the market, they at least know who the audience wants to see.

After the award ceremony started, Scarlett sat directly next to little Gilbert.

"You're not going back? Are you going to leave Sophia alone?"

"No," Scarlett took Little Gilbert's arm and said, "I didn't nominate, I just came to join in the fun."

"Join in the fun, I think you are here to create excitement." Little Gilbert said speechlessly.

As expected, the live TV broadcast was very focused on this side, and some footage was shown from time to time.

Seeing how Scarlett almost melted into little Gilbert's arms, I don't know how many people secretly cursed in their hearts, and how many people were envious.

The award ceremony was uneventful, almost as predicted by the media. "Pirates of the Caribbean" won the award for Best Visual Effects.

This is the third time that Orange Studio has won this award in four years, which is the best proof that it is a first-class special effects production studio in Hollywood.

The rest of the awards are not related to "Pirates of the Caribbean". It may be because Little Gilbert has won too many times before. Now many anti-Gilbert media say that Oscar is currying favor with Little Gilbert.

In order to avoid suspicion and balance, we won’t give too many awards to Gilbert Jr.’s movies this year.

Fortunately, as a pure commercial blockbuster, "Pirates of the Caribbean" doesn't actually need an Oscar.

I just didn't expect that Johnny Depp could be nominated for an Oscar, which really made the media excited.

In terms of best original screenplay, "Lost in Translation" created a surprise, and Sophia won this award.

Sofia has always had a desire for an Oscar. She even told Gilbert Jr. that she wanted to be the first female director to win the Oscar for Best Director.

However, now that he didn't win the Oscar for Best Director, he did win the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay. No matter how you calculate it, it is rewarding.

After Sofia was interviewed, she came down specifically to talk to little Gilbert.

"How about, my best original screenplay?"

Little Gilbert gave full play to his role as the best friend: "So-so, you know I have won this award a long time ago."

"when?"

"Have you forgotten? "The Sixth Sense"."

"Fake," Sophia couldn't help but uttered a curse word: "Really, forget it, I know you have many awards, so I won't show off in front of you.

Scarlett, come back and sit with me. "

Scarlett refused: "I don't want it, I want to sit next to little Gilbert."

"Oh my God, Scarlett, can you be more reserved? Little Gilbert will be going to present awards later!" Sophia couldn't help but pull Scarlett away.

Scarlett looked at little Gilbert with pitiful eyes, and little Gilbert said with a smile: "Go ahead, let's talk when we get back in the evening."

Scarlett reluctantly returned to her seat.

Awards were handed out one by one. Best Supporting Actor went to "Mystic River"'s Tim Robbins, the same guy who starred in "The Shawshank Redemption."

The winner for Best Supporting Actress was Renee Zellweger, a relatively plump actress. Naomi Watts stole "Chicago" from her life and won Best Actress.

But Renée Zellweger's career is developing smoothly. This year she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "Cold Mountain." When it comes to awarding Best Actress, Nicole Kidman has very, very high hopes this year.

Naomi Watts was once again nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress for "21 Grams", but she was basically just a sidekick, with no hope.

Another nominee, Keisha Castle-Hughes, is only eleven years old. Although she is nominated and becomes the youngest Oscar nominee for Best Actress, it is basically impossible.

Nicole Kidman nominated two films this year, one is "Love is Compromise" and the other is "The New American Dream", both of which were invested by Tom Cruise's production company.

With the guarantee of two nominations, the Oscars have no intention of not awarding the award.

So the final winner is Nicole Kidman, who has entered the Oscar three times. She finally realized her Oscar dream with "The New American Dream".

Nicole Kidman almost jumped to the moon when she heard Charlize Theron say her name. She hugged Tom Cruise excitedly and kissed him wildly on the face.

Afterwards, he accepted congratulations from those around him and then went on stage to receive the Oscar statuette from Charlize Theron.

Speaking of the two movies "The New American Dream" and "Love Is a Compromise", there is another story.

The female lead role in "The New American Dream" originally belonged to British actress Samantha Morton, but after "Moulin Rouge" and "The Hours" failed to win Oscars in succession, Nicole Kidman was a little hungry.

So with investment from Tom Cruise's production company, Nicole Kidman picked this movie.

The investors asked for a replacement heroine, and it was the more popular Nicole Kidman. Of course, the director of "The New American Dream", Jim Sheridan, couldn't ask for it.

The same goes for "Love Is a Compromise," except that this movie is a little bit special, with Nicole Kidman starring opposite Jack Nicholson.

In the film, she needs to grow old and ugly, playing the role of a grown woman's mother.

Anyone who knows something about Hollywood should know about the plight of Hollywood actresses. Actresses in front-line positions are very taboo about playing roles such as mothers, and they also have to act old and ugly.

But it is almost impossible to get an Oscar through normal roles and channels. The Oscars discriminate against beautiful women more seriously than against handsome men.

So Nicole Kidman was ill and rushed to the doctor, violating the principles that an actress cannot violate in her prime, just for the sake of becoming an Oscar-winning actress.

She believes that after winning the Oscar, all the losses will be recovered.

Of course, Nicole Kidman also made choices during this process. She gave up "21 Grams", the film for which Naomi Watts was nominated this time.

If Naomi Watts wins the Best Actress Oscar this time, Nicole Kidman will probably regret it.

The two are good friends, and it is unknown whether they still maintain the same close relationship as they did back then. But after putting in so much effort and having her friend snatch it away in the end, Nicole Kidman might be jealous.

Fortunately, such a thing did not happen. Now there is no divorce incident to win Oscar sympathy. Nicole Kidman finally realized her dream of Oscar and won the Best Actress.

Credit goes to Tom Cruise, too, because just as awards season begins, Nicole Kidman is once again pregnant.

Pregnancy has always been a very useful trick for actresses to win Oscars, provided that they are really pregnant.

Not surprisingly, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman are expecting their second child.

Watching Nicole Kidman on the stage constantly thanking her husband Tom Cruise, her daughter, and her unborn child, little Gilbert felt a little magical.

The same goes for Tom Cruise. He didn't have the Best Actor award at first, but because of his role in "Chicago", he won the Best Actor award directly.

This can be considered one of the butterfly effects caused by him. The world has changed a lot, but fortunately, the powerful historical trend is still moving forward.

It’s just that it’s impossible to tell where the future will lead.

When the Best Actor was awarded, the two Toms appeared together, making this Oscar for Best Actor extra grand.

In the end, Sean Penn won this award for his outstanding performance in "Mystic River" and became the new Oscar winner.

It is worth mentioning that Sean Penn is the only American actor to win Best Actor at the Berlin International Film Festival, Venice International Film Festival, and Cannes International Film Festival.

European film festivals have never looked down upon Hollywood, but Sean Penn was able to win the three European Best Actor Awards for several consecutive years, which shows that this person is not simple.

Another interesting thing is that "21 Grams" starring Naomi Watts is Sean Penn's work that won the Best Actor at the Venice International Film Festival.

The director of this film is Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu, a Mexican director who once approached Cantaloupe Studios for investment with a script.

Later, he also appeared at a party held by Warner Bros., but at that time he was naked and did not take a shower for several days, which was unconventional.

So before he saw little Gilbert, he was asked out by security.

When Nicole Kidman gave up on the film, Naomi Watts asked little Gilbert for his opinion.

Little Gilbert thought he could give it a try, and Naomi Watts just took the role, and sure enough, she was nominated.

It doesn't matter if you don't win an Oscar, being nominated is also a reward. Otherwise, Johnny Depp's public relations would be in vain. He is the runner-up for the Oscar winner this time.
