Hollywood Road

Most of the behind-the-scenes staff of this new crew have participated in the filming of Dark City before, and are also very concerned about whether the film can be nominated for an Oscar.

Then Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie and others who came out of the dressing room also walked to Gal Gadot and Emma Watson who followed her to visit the set.

Murphy also walked over and cast a concerned look.

Guess... Emma Watson intentionally kept things a secret, How many Oscar nominations did Dark City get?

James Franco knew her very well, and said directly, Speak quickly, don't be verbose.

Emma Watson glanced at Gal Gadot next to her and said, Best Makeup, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Sound Effects, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!

After finishing speaking, she asked Gal Gadot, Is that so?

Gal Gadot nodded slightly.

One, two, three...

Jonah Hill, who was following James Franco, was counting the number of nominations on his fingers, A total of thirteen Oscar nominations.

Thirteen. Robert Downey Jr. repeated the number with somewhat regret in his tone, It's not the most in history.

Murphy laughed, Thirteen Oscar nominations are quite a lot.

The important thing is that Dark City won the four most important nominations of Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!

Yes! Seth Rogen echoed, Thirteen can be said to be quite a lot!

Everyone around laughed, isn't thirteen Oscar nominations not too many?

Judging from the Oscar nominations, Dark City was defeated at the Golden Globe Awards before, and it did not have much negative impact.

The wind vane awards that can really influence the Oscars are, after all, the major trade union awards within the industry.

After being nominated for an Oscar, it is natural to prepare for the final awards ceremony. How many of those participating in the Oscar competition do not want to win the statuette?

Emma Watson looked at the heated discussions around her, and there was a little envy in her eyes. If she could be nominated for an Oscar for acting, how could she be in such trouble as today, and she couldn't get rid of Hermione Granger? influences.

Thinking of the recent attacks on her by the media and some people, Emma Watson is also a little helpless.

Okay, it's almost time. Murphy raised his voice slightly, reminding the people around him, Get ready for the next work.

People nearby gradually dispersed and returned to their respective posts, preparing for the next shooting.

Emma Watson followed Gal Gadot and accompanied Murphy back to the director's monitor. Seeing that Murphy would be fine, she leaned over and said with a smile, Congratulations, Murphy.

Thank you. Murphy turned his head and glanced at her. They were more familiar with each other, and said casually, You have had a lot of troubles lately.

Yes. Emma Watson shrugged, Some people always like to attack others from the moral high ground.

Murphy casually reassured, It will be fine after a while, and the criticism won't last long.

A few days ago, after the latest issue of Vanity Fair was published, Emma Watson, as the cover character, took some relatively large-scale photos for Vanity Fair, which aroused criticism from many people, and some people directly Throw the bashing on her head.

Some feminists, in particular, bombarded Emma Watson for being hypocritical, saying that she considered herself a feminist, but she still took the kind of sexy photos that please men.

There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, just like the Catholic Church attacked Murphy, no matter what they say or do, they always have excuses and reasons to attack.

After a few chats with Emma Watson, Murphy got back into filming.

Since the old-fashioned 35mm camera and film were used for this shooting, the photography was also back to basics. Murphy seldom interfered with the photography team, and the photography was basically handed over to Philip Lascher.

Regardless of the need to use too many skills in shooting, it is also very basic, but it is not difficult for Philip Lascher to deal with it.

The filming continued until close to five in the afternoon, and Murphy announced that today's work was over.

I just read the script.

When they walked towards the entrance of the studio together, Emma Watson said to Murphy while walking, The content is too amazing! Those reporters back then were also very courageous!

For American society, the sexual abuse of children by bishops is a phenomenon that some people know but many people don't know. Journalists stand in front of a huge power organization, accusing not one or two bishops, or seventy bishops, but direct Refers to the institutional cover and corruption of the Holy See.

What Murphy said are some objective facts, This is a story that has not been faced up to and taken seriously, but it has to be told. It is different from revealing the Watergate incident or the tobacco group's nicotine infringement. Confirmation of the truth and repeated legal procedures, but persuasion of one's own heart.

Then they walked out of the entrance of the studio, and were immediately surrounded by reporters, and the bodyguards quickly blocked Murphy in the middle.

The Oscar nomination list has just been announced, and Emma Watson, who has been in the vortex of public opinion recently, is here again. The enthusiasm of the reporters can be imagined.

For the promotion and marketing of the film, Murphy is also preparing to accept an interview.

With a loud reminder from a bodyguard, the order on the scene gradually improved, but the bodyguards still surrounded Murphy tightly, for fear that any reporter would rush in front of Murphy.

The reporters and the paparazzi quickly reached a tacit understanding and asked several representatives to ask questions.

In fact, these people are not stupid. If the scene has been chaotic, Murphy will just turn around and walk away. Now he can still get some news.

After Murphy answered a few low-level questions about whether he was happy to be nominated for thirteen Oscars, a reporter asked about the current film.

Director Stanton, why did you choose such a theme for your new film?

I feel that I have an obligation to let more people know about these things and these people, and know what efforts those reporters made for justice and the truth!

The real reason, of course, is that Murphy doesn't, and what he's saying now are all righteous words, How many people knew about the situation reported by the Focus column back then, but they didn't talk about it, because after weighing it, social pressure and the pressure of this tall organization The actual benefits are far greater than the small honesty of telling the truth, and sometimes it even creates, 'If I said it, I betrayed God and my faith', 'Did my sacrifice put myself dedication to a greater meaning' mentality, so we want to applaud the courage of the Spotlight crew, even though they were only doing what they had to do.

He paused for a while, and then said, These stories that have not been faced up to and taken seriously, but have to be told, can be found everywhere; the courage to stand on the opposite side of the authority is a requirement for those trapped in it. There are too many, but for those who are in the media, it should be their job. Sometimes, you want to make the truth clearer, the power you want to domesticate is weaker, and the power to spur is stronger.

A reporter suddenly turned his attention to Emma Watson and asked, What do you think of the criticism Miss Watson has caused recently?

Murphy certainly knew what they were asking, and looked at Emma Watson, and said, Feminism is about giving women the right to choose. Feminism is not about attacking other women. It's about freedom, about liberation and Fundamentals of equality. I don't really understand what boobs have to do with this? It's very confusing.

Later, the reporter turned the question to Emma Watson. Emma Watson did not evade, and replied directly, This incident made me realize that people still have many misunderstandings and wrong ideas about feminism. .I'm confused, and so are most people, but I'm literally dumbfounded.

Seeing Murphy's hint at this time, the bodyguards left the reporter's encirclement and let the three of Murphy get into the car together.

Thank you, Murphy. Emma Watson said sincerely, Thank you for supporting me.

Murphy smiled, It should be.

It's just saying something in favor of Emma Watson, not doing anything remarkable.

Emma Watson also followed Murphy to Wave Manor, and other members of the Stanton Party also drove here to attend Murphy's dinner together.

It's a small celebration of Dark City's thirteen Oscar nominations.

Since the 86th Academy Awards will not be held until the beginning of March, although Murphy will be busy with the filming of Spotlight in the following time, the Oscars will not relax at all.

After the nomination list was announced, the situation became clear. Murphy could easily identify his biggest opponent. For example, for the four most important awards, he faced competition from Alfonso Cuaron for best director. Twelve Years is quite strong because of its special subject matter. James Franco and Leonardo DiCaprio won the Best Actor award, but it is still unknown. Margot Robbie is nominated for Best Actress Facing Cate Blanchett...

It is no exaggeration to say that every opponent is strong, and there is no certainty of victory at all.

However, one thing still shows the perception of Dark City within the academy. On the directors' union awards and producers' union awards that announced the list of awards six times, Dark City all won the Best Actor and Best Actress awards. The top ten awards for leading role, best director and best picture, no matter how you look at them, are the biggest hits of this year's Oscars ceremony!

By mid-February, Murphy finished filming in the studio and led the crew to Boston to begin filming the remaining exterior scenes.
