[US Entertainment] Actor

He lingered long enough on the red carpet before Ebert waved out, shoulder to shoulder with Leonardo, out of view of fans.

Behind him, overwhelming shouts came like a torrent, and Leonardo said jealously: "Sure enough, you are really popular."

"That's just because this year's nominees are not easy to give people, um, surprises." Ebert pondered for a long time before he found an adjective that he thought was quite appropriate.

Daniel Day Lewis and Tommy Lee Jones are veterans in the film and television industry, but those who are familiar with them are mostly professional film critics and film workers.Although Aragorn played by Viggo Mortensen is a classic, after the end of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the actor continued to follow his low-key nature, and the topic and exposure were not high.George Clooney and Johnny Depp are old-fashioned male gods in the minds of movie fans, but Hollywood is a place where it is easy to like the new and dislike the old. Facing younger and more attractive newcomers, fans care and love naturally shifted involuntarily.

"Ebert, I found out..." Leonardo paused, seeing Ebert turned his head to look at him, thinking that the other party was really attracted by the trick he could sell, so he didn't rush He said, "You have really thick skin."

Ebert gave him a blank look: "Should I say, thank you for your compliment?"

"You're welcome, just accept it with a smile."

As an award presenter, although Ebert's appearance caused screams from the audience, he was not a nominee after all, so this time his seat was slightly moved back, but it was also arranged next to the aisle, so that It comes in handy when he runs out to hand out awards.

"Actually, the view here is quite good." He commented to Leonardo decently, "It's clear at a glance on the stage, the lights are not so glaring, and you can secretly do what you want without being like a statue. Sitting there for hours."

"But you won't think so if you have to sit in the back row when you have a new movie coming out one year." Leonardo stared at him with piercing eyes, "You hypocrite."

"Aren't you the same?" Ebert said, "Since we are the award presenters, we should remember our responsibilities. I am not an actor now, but an award presenter. But if one day I could have stood at the Oscars as an actor I will be very, very disappointed if I accidentally miss this opportunity on stage.”

Leonardo nodded in agreement, and after a while, he looked around the scene in the Kodak Theater, feeling bored.There were dark heads in front of him, and the lights behind him made it hard for him to keep his eyes open. He had no choice but to use his brains on this year's nomination list.After a while, Leonardo pushed Ebert and said in a low voice, "Do you think this Oscar is like a party for the elderly?"

Albert frowned at him.Leonardo explained: "Think about the age of the nominees. Last year, you, me, Ryan Gosling, our average age was under 30, although Peter O'Toole was a little older. A few, but the three of us can completely suppress the average age of the best actor nominees, but this year—this place is like a nursing home, with more than double digits of cardiologists and medical staff. Johnny, the youngest among the best actor nominees Depp is 45 years old this year, the oldest Tommy Lee Jones is 62 years old, and the supporting actor department is even more exaggerated. Although Casey Affleck is one year younger than me, Hal Holbrook is already At 83 years old, he can still perform at a high level, but honestly, I really think he should be ready to retire."

Tom Wilkinson in the supporting actor department and Ebert worked together in "The Mystery of Shadows" to play the gangster Ficone. This is his second Oscar nomination. In "Michael Clayton" he played an important role.

Compared with last year's scene of three young people fighting for the best actor award, this year's Oscar nominees are indeed a bit older. The average age of the five best actor nominees is 5 years old, and the average age of supporting actor nominees is also 51 years old. The shadow of young people is really It's so rare, no wonder the media always bring up the age issue when criticizing the Oscars.

Although this is not Oscar's fault, after all, compared to the calm and sophisticated middle-aged and elderly actors, the performances of young actors still have ups and downs, and unstable performance is their biggest flaw.

After the opening, the supporting actor and supporting actress awards were awarded first. Spanish actor Javier Bardem won this award. He played a terrifying perverted killer in "No Country for Old Men". His sophisticated performance shocked all the Oscar judges , It also enabled him to win this hard-won trophy among his competitors.Javier Bardem is a Spanish national treasure actor and the first Spanish nominee for an Oscar winner. His current girlfriend, Penelope Cruz, is also developing in Hollywood. At last year's Oscars, she won the award with "Return" The performance in the movie was nominated for an Oscar.

The Best Supporting Actress Award was awarded to Tilda Swinton. The 48-year-old actress was sought after by many fans because of her maverick and indiscriminate temperament. She was born in a Scottish noble family and was the late Day Concubine's classmate, she has outstanding knowledge, and her acting skills are also not weak. This is her first Oscar nomination and award. In "Michael Clayton", she broke out with good acting skills and won the nomination for this movie that night. Next ride.

The party has just started, and Ebert is still very interested. Several of his acquaintances appeared on the scene tonight, Martin Scorsese and Hilary Swank, both of whom are also responsible for sharing with Ebert The same task - award presenter.

Of course, as the battle line for the award ceremony gradually stretched, Ebert also felt that his patience was about to be sold out.He woke up a little early in the morning, and he hasn't watched any of the nominated films. After a long time, his sleepiness doesn't care whether it's the awards show or his warm bed, and he tried to flap his eyelashes several times Finally fell powerlessly.Leonardo still couldn't see it, and kept clapping his fingers to prevent Ebert's profile from being captured by the camera. Of course, when it was unavoidable, he would still cruelly push Ebert to wake him up.

Looking at the sleepy face of the other party, Leonardo couldn't help but let out a deep sigh.

No one is a saint, even actors who are known for being good at acting, in this kind of extremely boring occasion, no one will force them to maintain a positive state all the time, the camera lingers on Ebert for a while and then naturally shifts.Leonardo was surprised to find that Ebert's head lowered again when he was not paying attention, getting lower and lower, and almost only the top of his dark hair was still exposed.

The next time, when the camera came over again, Leonardo simply stopped pushing him.However, something that surprised him even more happened. It seemed that some kind of advanced detection radar was installed on the top of Ebert's head. As soon as the camera came over, he raised his head. As soon as the camera disappeared, the top of his hair was submerged in the black again. among the black crowd.

With a blank look, Leonardo simply ignored this guy.

As an audience, the only joy of watching a whole episode of Oscars is that you can watch the nominees pretending to be indifferent but so nervous that you are going to fly into the sky. You don’t have to worry about the award ownership, and you don’t have to worry about your first award disappearing. When others are nervous and hold their breath and want to know the final result, I can hum a rock song in my heart.

The best original screenplay belonged to "Juno", the best adapted screenplay was awarded to "No Country for Old Men", and the best editing award, which is quite important in the Oscar awards, was awarded to "Bourne Shadow 3". The choice was a little confusing, and it made the awards all night weirder and weirder.

Of course, no matter how nervous you are, the results of the awards will still be announced one by one.

Holding the envelope in his hands, Ebert slowly walked up to the podium.What he wants to present is this year's Oscar queen. The five nominees are arranged in descending order of age. The oldest is Julie Christie, who won the queen for the first time with "Dear" in 1966, and the youngest is the youngest. 21-year-old Canadian actress Ellen Page.Throughout awards season, Julie Christie was far more popular than the other four nominees, however, the awards were announced --

Ebert opened the envelope with a slight smile, and all the audience's attention was focused on him: "The Oscar winner is Marion Cotillard, "La Vie en Rose", congratulations!"

Marion Cotillard stared at the stage in disbelief, until Ebert's gaze and hers met in mid-air, then she opened her eyes wide and excitedly walked to the stage, and took the seat from Ebert that belonged to her. statuette trophy.

As a French actor, Marion Cotillard has undoubtedly made history by defeating 4 American actors to win the Oscar. She is only 33 years old this year and has no reputation in Hollywood before. "La Vie en Rose" is also a purely French film Of course, everyone knows that after tonight, Marion Cotillard's career will undergo a qualitative change. Her acting career will not only be confined to France, but to Hollywood, the center of world cinema.

Of course, on a highly anticipated platform like the Oscars, no famous French actress won the trophy before, which will also create a surprise tonight.

After Ebert stepped off the stage, Helen Mirren immediately came to the stage to present the best actor trophy. Not surprisingly, Daniel Day-Lewis won the second best actor in his life with his outstanding performance in "There Will Be Blood". Trophy, he defeated several opponents and once again proved his strength.

So far, all the acting awards of this year's Oscars have been awarded.It is worth mentioning that at this year's Oscars, none of the four actors who won acting awards are native American actors, Daniel Day Lewis and Tilda Swinton are British, and Marion Cotillard is French , Javier Bardem is Spaniard.

Undoubtedly, after the Oscars ceremony, the ownership of the leading actress and supporting actor will cause heated discussions in the media, which may also include some discussions such as "foreign actors are on the top, while local actors are degrading". The morality of the media is here. This kind of time always seems extremely rare-in fact, Americans always have a sense of pride in the film and television industry. Even if all the awards are taken by foreign actors, they don't care, because the Oscar is a Hollywood award. Although these actors are The best foreign actors, but in Hollywood, they must act according to American standards.

Just as the United States is a country made up of immigrants, Hollywood is also an industry made up of Americans and foreigners. It recruits the best actors and film practitioners from all over the world, but all the rules, standards and money are constantly flowing in. the United States.

Rather than saying that these media are motivating native American actors to work hard, it is better to say that they are expressing a sense of pride in being an American.

The best director was awarded to the Coen brothers, and then the best film Coen brothers also became the biggest winners of the night. "No Country for Old Men" won four awards: best film, best director, best adapted screenplay, and best supporting actor , the directorial strength of the Coen Brothers has once again been fully demonstrated.

"Michael Crichton" won the best supporting actress, "There Will Be Blood" is the best actor, and "Juno" is not empty pockets, a best original screenplay and a typical movie with a small and broad is enough The movie left with a smile on its face.The most pitiful thing is "Atonement" by British director Joe Wright. Although the film was shortlisted for the best picture, there was only one best soundtrack in the final account. Of course, as a young director born in the 70s, Joe Wright, the first film Keira Knightley was nominated for an Oscar for Pride and Prejudice, and her second work, Atonement, was once again nominated for Best Picture, a success unmatched at his age .

Shortly after the Oscars, Ebert entered the filming as required by the crew's contract.The scheduled shooting time is March 3. Ebert just talked to Leonardo about the partner, and Leonardo frowned: "Cate Blanchett? Are you playing sister?" Brother love?"

Ebert is 28 years old this year, a representative of young Hollywood actors, but Cate Blanchett is 39 years old, a full 11 years older than Ebert.Of course, Kate herself does not look old, her face is slightly long, and she was not so bright and beautiful when she was young, but after she was 35 years old, her appearance immediately became a plus.Her acting roles are diverse and she can control a variety of types. She is the object that many directors like to cooperate with.

In fact, in recent years, Cate Blanchett has tried her best to win her first actress trophy.Since she won the Best Supporting Actress award for "The Aviator" in 2004, Cate Blanchett has won countless awards, big and small, not only Oscars, but also the Golden Globes and Screen Actors Guild Awards. But it seems that she is still a little far away from her first actress trophy.

It is worth mentioning that "I'm Not There", which made her nominated for supporting actress again this year, is the movie that Heath Ledger played and had a huge impact on his psychology and personality.

The Oscars are over, The Dark Knight hasn't hit theaters yet, Ebert also hasn't had any news of Heath Ledger's mental breakdown, and it's nice that things are moving in the direction he wants them to be.

"She is 5 years older than me. I thought it was an extreme phenomenon for her and me to act as a couple, but I didn't expect that it would be your turn now." Leonardo complained, "Maybe this is David Fincher The female lead that was specially prepared for Brad Pitt, who knew he would never have the chance to star in this movie, and it became you to receive Cate Blanchett."

Ebert thinks that Hollywood is really a small circle.

He has only been in love in three movies since he was a filmmaker. Counting this "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", he has only had four love experiences. However, except for the cooperation between "Pirates of the Caribbean" and Keira Knightley, he and Leona Kate Winslet has been "shared" too much, and Kate Winslet will not mention it. Cate Blanchett and Leonardo have collaborated in "The Aviator", and the heroine in "The Departed Walker" even "sexed" with both of them. bed".

There are only so many people in the circle of first-line actors. It is normal for actors to fall in love with you today and him tomorrow.

In addition to Cate Blanchett, the actresses in the crew include Taraji P. Henson and Julia Ormond, etc., but they are not very famous, not even as good as the heroine who played the leading role Child star Elle Fanning.

One of the famous Fanning sisters, her older sister Dakota Fanning is the most famous child star in Hollywood, and her younger sister Elle Fanning also performed well. She has starred in several movies since she was 2 years old and is the most popular child star among Americans. one.

"I haven't acted in David Fincher's movie yet. If you feel good about acting, remember to recommend me to try it next time." Lying flat on the bed, with a relaxed smile, Leonardo gloated at the next film. Ebert, who was about to go to the crew to suffer, said, "Poor Ebert, I sympathize with what happened to you. I will give you a parting kiss, provided you don't bite off my tongue too hard. My dear, you You are fine most of the time, but sometimes you look like a little virgin with little sexual experience..." After the two got along for a long time, Leonardo's provocation that he thought he was successful was seen by Ebert. It was all about seduction, but this guy didn't remember his lesson. He was pressed on the bed by Ebert several times and continued to attack Ebert verbally. He thought that Ebert would gradually lose interest in this aspect. However, it is a pity that his various actions will only arouse the more ferocious animal nature in Ebert's heart.

The parting was imminent, and Ebert still had the "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" in his hands, but Leonardo didn't have any work burden.His "Body of Lies" and "Road to Revolution" are both aimed at winning awards. The release dates of the two films are at the end of the year, so from now to the second half of the year, Leonardo can spare more than half a year. time.

This had to make Ebert feel envious and jealous.

"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" may also be released within this year according to the plan before the start of filming, but in any case, after the filming of the film is finished, Ebert will not be idle for a while. "The Dark Knight" is aimed at this year's summer file. As a movie that Warner Bros. has high hopes for, there is "Mystery of Heroes" in front of it, and Warner Bros. has paid extra costs for it. The target blueprint plays a vital role.

As the leading actor, Ebert naturally hoped that the movie would be a success.

He is a very ambitious actor. This kind of ambition is not only reflected in his hope that he can win an Oscar and that his movies can sell well at the box office. He also hopes that every movie he plays in can become a classic.

"Busy guys, but young people should work hard, and old guys like me should take a good rest." Leonardo straightened his face and straightened his hair that was just messed up by Ebert, " Ebert, if you are jealous that I am handsome, you can just say it, don't ruin my hairstyle."

"Really? Hehe." Ebert laughed lowly, and the evil smile made Leonardo instantly have the urge to run away. However, it was too late, and by the time he reacted, his whole body Everyone is already under Ebert's control.

Not even a chance of escape.

If Ebert were to share his daily life with Leonardo, it would be difficult for him to explain clearly. Doing is definitely an eternal theme. The second is eating, and the third is playing games at home, going out to exercise, and shopping.

After getting along with Ebert, Leonardo knew what a homeboy his lover was, and after getting along with Leonardo, Ebert realized that the extroversion he thought Leonardo was just an appearance. If conditions permit, Leonardo will even stay at home for a week like him, unless it is a job that must be completed, unless he can earn millions of dollars at once, otherwise Leonardo is really difficult Impressed.

"So, we are made for each other... Why does this sound so nasty, I must have been infected by you!" Leonardo sneaked a glance at Ebert, seeing that Ebert hadn't responded, he said Holding the phone with treacherous eyes, he "clicked" and took a picture of Ebert.

He usually took pictures of himself more often, and Ebert didn't care too much.

Leonardo took back his phone, pretended to be watching the news, and quietly pressed the send button.

Ebert was still in the dark about everything.Suddenly, his mobile phone rang loudly, and Ebert, who was concentrating on reading the newspaper, was taken aback.

When the phone was picked up, Ebert almost dropped the phone due to the earth-shattering roar of the manager: "Ebert, you are eating potato chips, do you want to die? Tell me, I will definitely not take advantage of you!"

Bang bang bang!Boom boom boom!

The noise was about to penetrate his ears, and Ebert squinted one eye and moved the receiver slightly, glaring at Leonardo, accusing him of being a traitor for secretly taking pictures of himself.

Leonardo spread his hands smartly, and said indifferently: "Dear Ebert, don't you care about nothing? Although I think your agent is the biggest idiot in the world, it seems that he can For the sake of restraining you a little, I can have less prejudice against him."

"Damn Leonardo DiCaprio, do you think I can't hear anything? You nasty guy, I'm glad I'm on the phone right now, or I'd be sick of seeing your face to suddenly lose the ability to think."

"No, it's definitely not because of me that you lost your ability to think, but because——you're an old guy."

As a result, Mr. Broker's attack on Ebert somehow turned into a personal attack between him and Leonardo. Leonardo became interested, and he simply snatched Ebert's mobile phone, and through the receiver and Lynn sparred fiercely.

Ebert, who was forgotten aside: Although I don’t know where their quarrel started, I’m so happy to avoid a big trouble somehow. How to break it?

Ebert, who stayed out of the way, even gnawed on the fruit. The sweet taste made his eyes narrow. It was so delicious!
