[US Entertainment] 1994

The moment Josh in a black suit appeared on the red carpet, the screams of the fans broke through the sky, and the reporters on both sides of the red carpet almost lost their cameras—even though their arms were firmly grasped, and their ears were always The ear-piercing screams still caused them to perform abnormally, and they couldn't help complaining in a low voice:

"Josh Walter still didn't walk the aisle with his girlfriend, is he trying to tell the world he's not interested in women?"

In fact, before the Oscars, there were media bets on whether Josh would take his girlfriend on the red carpet. Now, not long after the Oscars red carpet started, Josh took the initiative to reveal the answer.

"Josh Walter is such a gutsy lad."

"Walter is 25 years old, maybe we should guess whether he is a virgin or gay! God, I was not a virgin when I was 15 years old, and he has not touched a woman at 25 years old..."

Josh naturally didn't know the reporters' complaints in private. He waved at the fans around the red carpet and walked through the red carpet with ease.

It’s the third time for Josh to walk on the Oscars red carpet, and Josh has no sense of nervousness. Compared with the grandeur of walking on the red carpet for the first time, Josh’s current outfit is more natural and unintentional. He already has the demeanor of a first-line star in his gestures, but maybe Naturally, it will make him in a better condition, so after the red carpet ended, Josh once again appeared on the list of the best dressed on the red carpet voted by fashion magazines. Among the mature male stars, the 25-year-old The Josh is undoubtedly a chic landscape.

Reporters' cameras also favored him.Front face, side face, back view... Josh's looks and clothes are naturally eye-catching. He also has the glory of the Oscar winner and Golden Globe winner. The reporters are naturally more reluctant to let him go. If it is not popular If the duration of the blanket is limited, the reporters almost want to abandon the last star who appeared on the stage, and only focus on shooting Josh alone.

Similar to previous years, this year's Oscars red carpet is still a party for the elderly.

Among the actor nominees, the 25-year-old Josh is undoubtedly the youngest. Apart from him, Tom Hanks, who was born in 56 and is 39 years old this year, is simply a representative of youth and strength, not to mention the 73-year-old supporting actor Nominee Paul Schofield and Best Actor nominee Paul Newman, 70.

Even the "National Enquirer", which has never taken a serious line, couldn't help but complain that the Oscar actor department has become a playground for the elderly, except for last year's Leonardo DiCaprio and the lush Rui Fan Outside of Phoenix, Oscar never saw a young boy again.

"Except for the nasty Josh Walter, who wouldn't be dangling around in front of us all day if the Oscars weren't so partial to him, swear to God, there's no guy in Hollywood who can stand him many."

...After reading this sentence, all of Josh's questions were answered. Originally, he really thought that the "National Enquirer" had changed its style and planned to take the route of realism. Now it seems that, ha, it really still treats him The resentment is too deep.

"Entertainment Weekly" gave a completely opposite explanation for this phenomenon:

"As we all know, the acting skills of older actors are usually better than younger actors, but Josh Walter can be nominated and even won in the middle of a group of older actors every year. Isn't this the greatest recognition of his strength? ?”

Josh said that he has always admired the style of "Entertainment Weekly". Not only did he subscribe to the magazine's 1995 full-year issue, but he also subscribed for 5 years in advance at one go, and he subscribed until 2000. Startled by his arrogance.

After his fame skyrocketed, more and more people chatted with Josh during the ceremony.

Directors, actors, producers...Josh received a thick pile of business cards alone. Among other things, Julia Roberts, who was a little bit honest to him when Josh was nominated for an Oscar, spent the whole night Tim Burton, who greeted people with a smiling face and was not good at dealing with people, also stopped to chat with Josh for a while, not to mention those stars who have always been in the second and third tiers.

In short, after Josh walked the red carpet, he received invitations from six or seven film companies.

"As long as you have time, we can give you the best remuneration."

"We can get Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster to play with you, and I'm sure there will be a perfect spark between you."

"Cameron Diaz can do it too, she's a sexy blonde hottie and guys are loving her since 'The Mask' comes out!"

At this moment, the producers in full clothes and leather shoes seem to be the most dedicated salesmen, talking about the advantages of the new project. In fact, the producers who can enter the Oscar ceremony are well-known in Hollywood, and their projects may not be Each one is excellent, but it's not bad. Josh even heard the names of several films with good reputation and box office.

Among them is Titanic.

Of course, there are also some films that producers and film companies are quite optimistic about, but the box office has given reality a hard blow.

Josh managed to catch his breath for a while, when someone grabbed his back suddenly.

"Have you experienced what it's like to be an A-list star?"

Josh turned his head, and his expression couldn't help but relax: "I thought you had retired, Al."

"Can't the elderly find something to do?" Al frowned displeasedly. "Paul Newman hasn't retired yet. When will it be my turn? Not only am I not retiring, but I still have two movies to be released this year."

"Feel sorry."

"There is no sincerity at all, and I refuse to accept it."

The two were joking, but a low laugh came from the side: "Al, you're bullying young people again, and you even said bad things about me."

Al greeted the visitor with a smile: "Good afternoon, Paul, Josh, this is Paul, you don't need me to introduce you?"

"Paul, nice to meet you." Josh hastily stretched out his hand, and gently shook hands with the evergreen tree in the Hollywood film industry.

Although Paul Newman is 70 years old, he is hale and hearty, and his breakthrough performance in "A Foolish Wisdom" is also eye-catching.Paul Newman is one of the handsome guys in Hollywood. Although he is not as handsome as Marlon Brando, nor as elegant as Gregory Peck, his performance has always been praised. Since 1959, Paul Newman has been Nominated for Oscar winner several times, he has portrayed many classic roles in films such as "The Liar" and "Blood Behind the Bar".

What's more worth mentioning is that Paul Newman and his second wife Joanna Woodwood lasted 37 years of marriage, which is simply a miracle in Hollywood where divorce is commonplace, but there is no doubt that a loyal marriage will give men Bringing luck, Paul Newman's eyes are bright and he moves freely. He doesn't look like a 70-year-old man at all.

His mental state is also completely different from that of many 7- and 80-year-olds.

"You know me, and I know you. Melissa asked me to ask you for your autograph yesterday. God knows how many children she is already a mother." Paul Newman shrugged helplessly, "But she is considered a mother It's still my daughter, and I have to satisfy all her capricious and unreasonable demands."

Josh showed a bright smile: "Of course there is no problem with signing, but in exchange, you have to give me one too."

"A good deal." Paul Newman blinked playfully, "Josh, I like the movie "The Shawshank Redemption" very much, more than "Quiz", but I can only say it secretly, otherwise Robert will be angry. "

Paul Newman and the director of "Quiz" Robert Redford are a pair of classic Hollywood partners. The handsome images of the two in "Tiger Cub" and "Liar" have been talked about so far. Robert Redford Redford has established himself in the director circle through "Ordinary People" and "Love on the River", holding an Oscar director trophy, while Paul Newman has a smooth career as an actor and has become the most successful actor in Hollywood history. one of the actors.

"How about "Smart and Stupid"?" Al Pacino interjected suddenly.

"Al, you're really one of the most unlikable guys in the world." Paul Newman said helplessly, "Is there anyone who doesn't like your own movies?"

Paul Newman's peak period was in the 60s. During those years, he was shortlisted for 4 Oscar nominations. In the 70s, his career stopped. At that time, it was Al's rising period. Al was nominated for 4 times Oscar nomination, but when Paul Newman returned to the peak of his career in the 80s and won the Oscar winner for "The Color of Money", Al was in a state of silence until he won the Oscar for "Scent of a Woman" two years ago people.

It can be said that the peak periods of their careers were completely staggered, and there was a 15-year age difference between the two, but the handsome Paul Newman, who had been married for more than 30 years, and Paul Newman, who was considered unattractive and unsuitable for working together Al, who developed in Hollywood, became friends. The latter's girlfriends can't be counted with two fingers, and there are many beauties among the girlfriends, including Diane Keaton, the Oscar queen.

It can only be said that handsome guys are often loyal, while not-so-handsome guys are often...

Josh didn't mean Alzah. Everyone has a different attitude towards feelings. Al is just more used to playing in the world. For him, marriage means bondage, and it is normal for men and women to separate and combine.

Josh just can't understand those guys who obviously have marriage but can never be sincere.

If Carlos married him, Josh swore that he would never look at other men from now on, and would only guard Carlos forever.

Marriage is like a contract, which binds two people. Since that person is willing to bind himself with a contract, Josh is also willing to be loyal.

After chatting with Paul Newman, Josh had a brief exchange with Tom Hanks. Tom said that he and Josh were destined, and Josh could only nod in agreement.

He and Tom Hanks are indeed destined, but he doesn't want to be Hanks' opponent at all.

........................

More than 10 minutes later, the 67th Academy Awards ceremony officially began. This year's awards ceremony was held in the Holy Auditorium in Los Angeles. It has always been one of the venues for Oscars and Grammys and other award ceremonies, and there are many cultural and artistic activities.

The host of this year's awards ceremony is David Letterman, probably because Whoopi Goldberg's host last year had too many pornographic jokes, which did not match Oscar's temperament. This year, Oscar invited "The Tonight Show" David Letterman, hoping his face will bring a little freshness to the Oscars.

But it turns out that David Letterman may be a qualified talk show host, but he is definitely not a competent Oscar host.

At the beginning, he stood alone on the stage and chanted "Oprah, Uma, Oprah, Uma..." and then laughed happily. Off the stage, Oprah Winfrey Ray and Uma Thurman looked at a loss, especially the latter. She didn't know where David Letterman's joke was, but she was just a newcomer after all, so she could only helplessly face the camera. giggle.

Also because of this poor opening, David Letterman did not have a second chance to host the Oscars until more than 10 years later.

Those hosts who were lucky enough to take over the Oscars but were always reluctantly returned always gritted their teeth in private: "Fxxk Oscar, if you want to restrict everything, just don't do anything!"

But whenever Oscar's invitation came, they couldn't refuse the temptation.

There always seems to be an invisible line between comedy stars and the film industry. In the eyes of the academy, they are like clowns for fun, and they will never be able to hand out those heavyweight awards even at the award ceremony.

It would be an exaggeration to say that the Academy would rather favor blonde, busty actresses than give comedians a chance.

Talk show hosts are somewhat similar to comedians in a sense, their only chance to show up at the Oscars is to host the awards ceremony, in fact, there are countless people who have tried to take over the Oscar hosting, but to be honest, most of them do Not so good.

After the embarrassing opening ended, the award ceremony officially began. Josh arrived backstage early to prepare. After the staff reminded him, he stood on the stage with a faint smile.

"Good evening, supporting actress..."

With the experience of the Golden Globe Awards, the task of the Oscar presenters is no longer difficult for Josh, but the slightly dull atmosphere of the Oscars and the serious faces of the staff still calmed down Josh, and he successfully presented the awards. trophy.

Dianne West still won the award for "Bullets Over Broadway".

She was so excited that she almost fell in front of the stage, and Josh quickly stepped forward to support him.

"Tonight's skirt is really too long, but my friend solemnly reminded me to dress beautifully, so that maybe many viewers will see me. If I really fell off just now, many people should remember me." Dianne West made a small joke and continued her award speech.

Josh walked off the stage under the signal of the staff and returned to his seat.

In the three Oscars, this time he was shortlisted for the best actor nomination. His vision is the best, as if he bought a movie ticket with the best position, and he can see the performance on the stage very clearly.

But it is also understandable that important actors must occupy an important position, and those who sit in the back row don't want to be a little bit forward. This is not only a problem of vision, but also a symbol of status.

But the Oscars are cruel after all. Even if there are four other actors who occupy the most favorable position like Josh, there is only one who has the last laugh.

Martin Landau of "Ed Wood" won the Best Supporting Actor Award. This result is exactly the same as the Golden Globe Award two months ago. The strength of the nomination department, both won the Golden Globe and the Oscar.

Next came awards for special effects and make-up.

Best Makeup went to "Ed Wood," Best Costume Design went to "The Desert Charm," Best Art Direction went to "Mad King George," and Best Sound Effects went to…  "The Speed ​​of Life and Death"!

Josh clapped his hands excitedly.

The sound engineers of "Speed ​​​​and Death" are Greg Landak, Steve Maslow and other 4 people. Before "Speed ​​​​and Death" won the award, this team of sound engineers has relied on "Star Wars 2" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark". " won two Oscars.

The subsequent best sound editing was also won by "Speed".

This shows that the tense atmosphere created by this action movie has been affirmed by professionals, especially on the Oscar stage, the award of "Speed" is particularly eye-catching.

After all, "Speed" is just a commercial film with a cost of 3000 million U.S. dollars. From the first three years of the summer file to being nominated for an Oscar in the second year, Josh's commercial path is undoubtedly correct.

It is worth mentioning that in June, "Life and Death" will usher in a big explosion in awards.

At the 95th MTV Movie Awards in 4, Josh was not only shortlisted for Best Actor and Sexiest Actor, his kiss scene with Sandra Bullock was also nominated for Best Kiss Scene, and they also won Best Award for Best On-Screen Partner.

Before this, Josh had always felt that he was not in the same world as the MTV Movie Awards. After all, none of the movies he acted in seemed to be the style that the audience would vote for. There is still a market in the group, because the MTV Movie Awards are completely voted by the audience.

Of course, Josh discovered a very strange thing later.

Viewers of the MTV Movie Awards actually voted for Brad Pitt for best actor, while Josh won the sexiest actor award instead.

……

sexiest...

He wasn't angry, but felt that perhaps the brain circuit of young audiences was different from that of a middle-aged man like him. After all, no matter from which point of view, he should be the one who won the best actor, right?

Of course there is nothing wrong with being the sexiest actor, after all, he is much sexier than Brad Pitt.

Let's just say, MTV Movie Awards viewers might have a little problem.

"Sexiness is a good thing. When no audience loves you, you can still sell meat." Mr. Manager glanced at Josh, "You already have Golden Globe Awards, do you still need MTV Movie Awards to prove that you are an excellent actor? ?”

"It's not bad to be shortlisted, Josh, don't think too much."

After all, in the future, Kate Winslet will lose to Kristen Stewart, and Christian Bale's performance can't even compare to Zac Efron in "High School Musical".

But that's the nature of the MTV Film Festival, if all award shows were as boring as the Oscars, Donald Trump wouldn't even have a chance to run for president of the United States, and the only leader for Americans would be God.

Josh was complacent and dreamed of a sexy male god for a few days, and then when he went to bed at night, he took off Carlos' clothes and compared his muscles.

then……

Hehe, the MTV Movie Awards are a bunch of liars!
