[US Entertainment] Actor

On the evening of February 2, Los Angeles time, the much-anticipated Academy Awards ceremony finally kicked off.The seriousness and secrecy of the Oscars is even greater than that of the Golden Globes. As soon as the sun hit the roof during the day, half of the Hollywood celebrities have already come to wait outside the Kodak Theater.

Ebert and the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" crew appeared on the red carpet relatively early. While walking the red carpet, chatting with familiar friends, the time passed quickly.

Already a regular visitor to the Oscars, Ebert no longer had the nervousness of last year. He was dressed in an elegant suit handmade by Armani craftsmen, and a Rolex watch was used as a simple decoration. He only showed his face on the red carpet for a few minutes, and he easily attracted the attention of the audience. look.

This time Leonardo did not walk the red carpet with Ebert, but chose to appear on the red carpet with the crew of "The Aviator". When the nominees, award presenters, and celebrities attending the ceremony tonight, Ebert saw Leonardo.

Like Ebert, Leonardo also wore an Armani suit.

The photos of the two walking the red carpet of the Golden Globes hand in hand and winning the Best Actor Award for Drama and Comedy together made the headlines of more than 200 entertainment newspapers in the United States on the second day after the Golden Globes results were announced. In the selection of the Best Dressed Award, Ebert and Leonardo also took the top few positions. For the brand, this is undoubtedly an excellent publicity and business opportunity. Naturally, Armani faces huge competition in the United States. Will not let go easily.

On the day when the Oscar nomination list came out, Giorgio Armani contacted Ebert, hoping that he could be a bridge between the brand and Leonardo, and that Armani would tailor a suit for Leonardo to attend the Oscar party.

Ebert is not clear about the specific circumstances of their discussions. In short, Ebert did see Leonardo wearing a dark Armani suit that night, with straight legs and a tall figure. , He also put away his usual bohemian appearance, and behaved elegantly and gentlemanly. Seeing this scene, Ebert couldn't help showing a smile.

He knew that Leonardo's private side would not be revealed easily, it would only be seen by him.

At the awards ceremony, Ebert met Johnny Depp, who was also shortlisted for Best Actor.

Depp gestured at him: "How confident are you?"

Ebert shook his head: "It depends on what the judges think. No one knows the final result until the last moment."

The corner of Johnny Depp's mouth was crooked: "It's no different from saying nothing. But Ebert, I'm very optimistic about you."

"Thanks, Johnny, I like you too."

Oscar, as always, upholds a serious and dignified demeanor. In the tide of individualization, independence or commercialization of major film awards, Oscar has always been rigorous and dignified, and has always maintained a set of unique film judging standards.

Of course, in Hollywood, where the film industry is the most developed, as an authoritative film award with a history of 77 years, Oscar does have the qualifications to be reserved.

The history of Oscar is almost accompanied by the development history of the entire film industry, Charlie Chaplin, Shirley Temple, Audrey Hepburn, Bette Davis... every shining name in film history is associated with Oscar They are closely related, Oscar bestowed awards on them, and they also added more luster to Oscar.

Today, the Oscar is not only a symbol of honor, in addition to proving the actor's acting skills, it can also bring more benefits to the actor and the film company. to the benefits.

As one of the nominees for last year's Oscar winner, Ebert's feelings can be described as profound.

A best actor nomination made him a leading figure among post-80s male actors in Hollywood, and his net worth also soared after the awards ceremony. If the general actor’s development trend is followed, he will star in at least one more movie with amazing box office results To be worthy of such a worth, however, with just one Oscar nomination, he got everything he wanted.

There is no doubt that whether Ebert's Oscar journey this time ends in success or failure, his career will still maintain a development curve that most people look up to. After all, he can be nominated twice for best actor at the age of 25. Actors are rare in the 2-year history of the Oscars, not to mention that with the rapid development of the industry, the situation where a certain actor defended the title in a row has almost disappeared.

In Ebert's heart, he is not optimistic about being crowned Oscar winner this year.

Last year he was 24 years old and was nominated for Best Actor for the first time.Although he is nominated for the second time this year, his age is still his biggest disadvantage. In the eyes of the old-fashioned judges, there is no difference between 24 and 25 years old.

Among the five nominated Oscar winners this year, Ebert is the youngest at 25 years old, the oldest Clint Eastwood is 75 years old this year, Johnny Depp is 42 years old, Leonardo is 31 years old , Jamie Foxx is 38 years old. Compared with previous years, this year's candidates are younger. There are three actors under the age of 40, although Clint Eastwood single-handedly raised the The average age of the five candidates, but looking at the young faces of Ebert, Leonardo and Jamie Foxx, most people present seemed to see the future of Hollywood.

Kate Winslet rested her chin on one hand, looking like she was still asleep, she knocked on the chair, turned her head and talked to Ebert: "When did you wake up this morning?"

"7 o'clock." Ebert said, "But I didn't eat at noon, I only ate some bread to fill my stomach, and I am a little hungry now."

Kate Winslet lowered her head, showing a depressed expression: "Do you know when I got up?"

Kate, who appeared in Ebert's sight, looked very tired. Even with a thick layer of powder, she couldn't hide the dark circles under her eyes.She covered her mouth with one hand and yawned, and stretched out three fingers tremblingly with the other hand: "At this time, I especially hope that I am a man, and I can not do hairstyles, make-up, or wear clothes that you don't like." Dresses that won’t fit in after a month’s weight loss, and high heels that give you a concussion if you fall.”

Ebert blinked: "Actors also need to make up and try on clothes, but the process is not as cumbersome as that of actresses."

Kate threw a sharp glance at Ebert: "Oh, yes, you just need to make yourself look fresher, a guy like you with better skin than a woman, oh, you were born to torture me .Yes, all the procedures can be reduced to two things of makeup and changing clothes, but I need to start doing my hair at 3 o'clock in the morning, with earrings that match the hairstyle, dress, then bags, shoes, lip color , foundation, lipstick, and even walking posture should be given to expert guidance."

"I hate every human being who gets up at 7 o'clock." Kate Winslet finally couldn't hold back the desire to sleep, Ebert took the opportunity to offer to look out for her, and Kate agreed.

Just a minute after the conversation between the two, Ebert's cell phone vibrated slightly. He took out his cell phone and checked it. Sure enough, it was a message from Leonardo.

"I found out that you have so many friends."

"They're your friends too."

"Yes, that's right, but I'm still a little worried. Toby had a negative impression of you before, but now, you've become his best friend besides me. So is Kate. When she calls me, she often I will talk about you, and I am really worried that my friends will leave me."

"But I have no intention of robbing your friend at all."

"Admit it, Ebert, admit your crooked thoughts."

Ebert raised his eyebrows, he didn't understand the meaning of Leonardo's words.

But in the next second, the information on the phone made Ebert twitch his lips.

"Admit it, Ebert, you just want to hook up all my friends, so they won't pay too much attention to me, and I will be empty and boring, so I can spend more time with you."

If it wasn't for the Oscars, Ebert swears, he'd be laughing out loud.

Since the two of them met, Leonardo's narcissistic and brain-loving temperament has not changed at all.

But that's what's so cute about him.

This year's Oscars are hosted by talk show host Chris Rock. Locke's complaints about politicians and racial discrimination often attract the attention of countless people. Compared with the relatively mild Billy Crystal, Steve Martin, Locke His remarks are often to the point, even in the face of big names like Tom Hanks, he can still laugh and scold and maintain his consistent style. Therefore, among the previous hosts of the Oscars, Chris Rock is full of personality but can elevate The kind with high ratings.

Of course, this year is also the first time Chris Rock has hosted the Oscars.

At the beginning of the ceremony, he made fun of several nominees for the best actor and actress: "Kate Winslet and Leonardo DiCaprio, "Titanic" separated you, but Oscar can make you Reunited, thanks Oscar."

"Ebert Dawson, his age multiplied by three is equal to Clint Eastwood's age, that sounds incredible. Nice to meet you, Ebert, glad the Oscars red carpet is safe Yes, everyone wears at least three pieces of clothing. Even if there is a naked guy, we will hang him up. The designers of the Kodak Theater seem to have anticipated this possibility before designing the stage. We have professional Lifting equipment. Take it easy, Ebert."

Ebert nodded, showing a helpless look: "Yes, I am very relieved."

"Oscar is a place where people can get rid of the shadows of life." After teasing Ebert, Chris Rock pointed his gun at Hilary Swank again: "Hilary Swank is not playing a man, Just playing non-female, I decided to say a few words, because Hillary's power is not something ordinary people can bear."

After Chris Rock showed his skills to everyone present, the first award of the night was finally awarded.

Cate Blanchett finally swept away the haze of the Golden Globes and took home her first Oscar in her life. This is the Australian actress's second Oscar nomination and first win. The Aviator perfectly interpreted the image of the greatest actress in Oscar history, and Oscar also praised her efforts.

It was not Clive Owen in "Stealing Heart" who won the supporting actor award, but Morgan Freeman in "Million Dollar Baby". This is Morgan Freeman's fourth Oscar nomination and first Although this actor is not the most powerful actor in the eyes of the audience, he is definitely the most familiar face to American audiences.

"Oscar seems to be a little bit kinder to Martin." Leonardo's message happened to come over during Morgan Freeman's acceptance speech. Lynt Eastwood is more merciful, how about a bet?"

"You want to see me lose?"

No need to look, Ebert can think of Leonardo's frowning and indifferent expression at this moment.

So the smile on his lips deepened, and he tapped the letter key with his finger, and sent it.

Leonardo was so angry that he almost dropped his phone.

The content of Ebert's post is-"Leo, you are a loser in every aspect, whether it is filming or in bed, have you not recognized the reality until now?"

Therefore, after vowing to lose weight, Leonardo DiCaprio, a first-line Hollywood actor, Golden Globe winner, and Oscar nominee for best actor, added two more aspects to his plan. One is to hone his acting skills. Burt won the Oscar before, and the second is counterattack, counterattack, counterattack.

There is always a dream, what if it comes true?

Although this plan was not realized until Leonardo successfully won 3 Oscars and refreshed the winning record set by Daniel Day Lewis.

After all, if a dream can be easily realized, it is not a dream.

Ebert has always been an insurmountable mountain in his life, whether it is in awards or in offensive positions.

There is only one thing that is certain, that is, from the moment Leonardo and Ebert walked together, the wheel of history has been turning at high speed, and the two of them have created a new era in the history of Oscars together.

Another golden age.

The real effect of Leonardo nearly dropping his phone was that, like the Golden Globes, he rejected any messages from Ebert that night.

Whether it's the nasty "Baby Leo", "Kiss Leo" or the extremely threatening "I won't get out of bed tomorrow if you don't reply", Mr. Leonardo DiCaprio, who insists on principles, ignores them all.

Of course, if the camera was pulled closer, someone would probably notice that Leonardo's ears were red all night, as if he had been dyed with the most natural red dye.
