[US Entertainment] Actor

With Leonardo around, Ebert will not feel bored even if he is walking the red carpet.

In fact, as a possible award nominee, Ebert was reminded when he responded that he would attend the party, that is, all actor awards this year will be jointly awarded by 5 actors who have won the same award. Therefore, in the afternoon The red carpet was packed with people, star-studded, and the number of previous film winners and actresses reached the highest in history.

"The number one is of course for high ratings." Leonardo curled his lips, "Now is the economic crisis, and the most generous sponsors are usually tight on their pockets. If the Oscars can't prove their influence among the audience through the ratings, No business is willing to spend a penny on sponsorship."

"Oscar's preference is for those companies that the middle class can afford, Apple, Samsung, Cadillac...Imagine, because people's wealth shrinks, people prefer low-cost alternatives, $100 mobile phones, cheap used cars , in this case, these companies are not willing to spend money to sponsor flashy Oscars, unless it can prove that its driving force for consumption is the same as its authority in the film industry. Can you imagine that one day KFC’s The ad blared at halftime at the Oscars — Wings at Orleans, your favourite, God, no big star could stand that."

"Of course the organizing committee is very happy, but those of us who walk the red carpet are not very comfortable. Have you noticed that the skirts of several female stars have been secretly stepped on? It's really pitiful."

Ebert looked around. On a solemn occasion like the Oscars, all the female stars chose long skirts that stretched the floor. The flowing lines rippled when they moved, but it was a bit troublesome to walk, which was not the case on the red carpet. The assistant lifted the skirts for them, and they had to walk through the whole venue in high heels that looked like murder weapons.

Ebert never thought that those female stars with sweet appearances could really be weak enough to make fans feel distressed.

The reason is simple.One is that no matter what occasion these female stars appear on, their soles are sky-high. In terms of physical strength and endurance, they are far better than ordinary girls.The second is that the depth of the entertainment industry is terrible, power and sex transactions can be put on the bright side, grabbing roles, and sisters turning their faces is even more in a flash. Since female stars can live in the circle safely and even climb to the front line , Their psychological endurance is very strong.

Ebert never discriminated against women, nor looked down upon women.

He felt that if there were no explicit and implicit discrimination in this world, and no glass ceiling, the careers that women could create would not be inferior to those of men.

Even all kinds of restrictions have become the motivation for them to work hard. It is admirable that they are struggling in the male-dominated world and constantly opening up their own sky.

Before the awards ceremony started, Ebert chatted with his old friends for a while. Martin Scorsese also appeared on the red carpet this time, but Mr. Director did not bring his works this time. Therefore, his attitude was particularly relaxed during the conversation.

Leonardo greeted him as soon as he saw him.

Ebert first communicated with Heath Ledger for a while, and then met Natalie Portman, who was invited this time. Only when he saw Portman did Ebert really feel the passage of time.

Or things are changing too fast.

In fact, Natalie Portman's emotion is even stronger.

Ebert had a conversation with her 7 years ago, probably at the first Tribeca Film Festival, when Ebert was only introduced to Martin Scorsese by Al Pacino Si's newcomer, the biggest fame is the Golden Raspberry Award for Worst Actor.

Natalie Portman became famous at a young age with "This Killer Is Not So Cold", and her role in "Star Wars" made her a representative figure among young Hollywood actresses. Compared with her, Egypt Burt is not worth mentioning at all, but in just 7 years, Natalie Portman's advantage among post-80s actresses is no longer obvious. Anne Hathaway was nominated for Oscar for the first time this year, and Amanda Sey Fried and others have also produced excellent works, but Ebert has repeatedly made history, becoming a super star in Hollywood, leaving all his peers behind.

After chatting for a while, Leonardo came over with a smile on his face: "Martin has a new movie plan, and it will start shooting in a few years, but I have already booked the leading actor in the movie."

"Then I'll order a supporting actor." Ebert blinked, "I look forward to our cooperation again."

"it is good."

After the awards ceremony began, the guests and nominees took their seats. Ebert was still in the middle of the auditorium, not far from him. Sean Penn and Mickey Rourke nodded to him one after another, and there was no tension between them. , There is no smell of gunpowder in the media at all.

Sitting next to Ebert is Taraji P. Henson, who played Button's mother in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button." It is not the most popular award, and film critics are more optimistic about Penelope Cruz. Her performance in "Midnight in Barcelona" not only contains a strong Spanish style, but also plays with Scarlett Johansson and Rebecca Hall. She has always had the upper hand in the competition of actresses, and she is not inferior.

The ceremony had just begun, and Hugh Jackman stepped onto the stage in a neat suit.The Australian actor was ferociously sexual when he was Wolverine, and he was so personable when he took to the stage.Hugh Jackman is not an actor with outstanding acting skills in the traditional sense, and there are not many nominations for awards, but Hugh Jackman has a serious and hard-working attitude, a tough and soft temperament, a handsome appearance and diversified attempts But it allowed him to open a path in the fiercely competitive Hollywood.

"Good evening, welcome to the stage of the 81st Academy Awards, I hope you have a pleasant evening." Hugh Jackman's appearance drew thunderous applause from the audience," Kate Winslet said in "Life and Death Reading" I played a German in Tropic Thunder and Robert Downey Jr. played a black guy in Tropic Thunder and I, an Australian, played an Australian in Australia, which is probably why I didn't get an Oscar nomination .”

With a simple opening, coupled with Hugh Jackman's funny song and dance, he parodied half of the Oscar-nominated films this year, and he ended the performance unsatisfactorily, and the ceremony began to enter the formal awards ceremony.

The first award was the Best Supporting Actress Award, and five actresses who had won supporting actresses took to the stage to present the trophy to Penelope Cruz, who is very popular in the awards season.This is Cruz's second Oscar nomination and first Oscar trophy. She is the most well-known world-class film star in Spain. When she first came to Hollywood, she was known for being sexy and unrestrained like most foreign actors. Until 2007's " "Return" made her nominated for an Oscar for the first time, and people gradually eliminated the impression of her sexy body.

This is a very explosive and tense actor.

However, the sad reality is that when an actress is beautiful enough, the first step in her career is often to show off her sexiness in various movies. Only when she is famous enough does she have the opportunity to make the audience See her connotation.

The best supporting actress award was followed by two heavyweight awards -- Best Original Screenplay went to "Milk" and Best Adapted Screenplay went to "Slumdog Millionaire."

After that, Jennifer Aniston and Jack Black joined forces to present the best animated feature and short films, and there is no doubt that the best animated film of the year is "Wall-E".

Sarah Jessica Parker and Daniel Craig then presented Best Costume, Best Makeup and Best Art Direction, with the Costume award going to The Duchess starring Keira Knightley , and the other two awards belong to "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which are also the first two awards that the film won at this year's Oscars.

With 13 nominations, there are currently only two awards in the account. Compared with some films that have not won one award so far, such results seem to be good.But it's a pity that art direction and makeup are not that important in the Oscars. Even if they win, they can't provide much help for the film's road to the Olympics.

After the awards for photography and live-action short films were awarded, the results of the Best Supporting Actor Award were finally announced.

Similar to the awarding process of the Supporting Actress Award, the awarding of the Supporting Actor Award also invited 5 actors who have won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, including Christopher Walken, who is more familiar to the audience, and with "Little Miss Sunshine" Award-winning Alan Arkin.

"The Academy Award goes to - Heath Ledger, The Dark Knight, congratulations!"

Ebert was about to stand up and applaud Heath Ledger when a gray-black shadow suddenly flashed in front of him. The next second, Ebert felt himself being hugged tightly. He shouted "Ebert, I won the award!", and then, a wet mouth leaned forward and kissed him on the face.

Having done all this, Heath Ledger quickly ran up to the stage to take the trophy from the presenter.

Ebert's hands were stiff, his cheeks were hot, and his mind was full of chaos.

At this moment, he just wanted to say one thing—he was finished.

Now jumping into the Yellow River can't wash it.

Heath Ledger literally killed him.

He no longer dared to turn his head to take a peek at Leonardo's face... In fact, he didn't even need to look or turn around, he could feel a scorching gaze piercing his back fiercely, as if he wanted to put his whole body on the ground. People burn to ash.

It's over, it's over, it's over...

Heath Ledger really killed him...

However, the lovely Mr. "Joker" seemed to feel that this was not over. When he delivered his acceptance speech, he sincerely expressed his gratitude to Ebert: "Without Ebert's help, I would not be able to regain my confidence." , he is a great actor and the actor I admire the most, only when I met you did I know the true meaning of life."

Only when I meet you can I know the true meaning of life? ? ?

No matter how you hear this, it sounds so basic!

The camera followed Ebert closely all the time, he had to smile and his expression was indifferent, but his heart was already overwhelmed, he was up and down, and he was extremely anxious.

How should I punish myself when I go back at night to make myself look pitiful?

Please answer! ! !

The author has something to say: 1. I plan to finish the text after winning the 81st Oscar.

2. There are many side stories and they are relatively long.Because Leonardo won the award later, but the timeline is too long and there are too many repetitive things, so I simply leave his award to the side story.

3. Leonardo won awards, came out, and became a director and producer.
