[US Entertainment] Actor

After replying to all the phone calls and text messages, Ebert was finally able to calm down and carefully study this year's list of Oscar nominations.

The five films shortlisted for best picture are "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King", "Lost in Translation", "The Raging Sea", "Mystic River" and "The Age of Pentium". Previously, the Golden Globe Awards received 8 nominations "Cold Mountain" missed the best picture at the Oscars. This film was originally quite optimistic, and was even considered to be the biggest competitor of "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" at this year's Oscars.

It was Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" that kicked it away. There is no doubt that after the nomination list is released, the discussion about "Lost in Translation" may continue.

In addition, in addition to Diane Keaton and Charlize Theron, who won the Golden Globe Awards for comedy and drama, Naomi Waugh of "21 Grams" was shortlisted for best actress. Samantha Morton of "The New American Dream" and Caesar Castle Hughes of "Whale Rider."Caesar Caster Hughes is the youngest nominee for this year's Oscars. She is under the age of 14 this year. She did not receive any nominations at the Golden Globes held yesterday, but the Oscars gave her a competing film opportunity later.

There is no doubt that Kaiser Custer-Hughes will be a pure escort.

Scarlett Johansson, who was nominated for both comedy and drama at the Golden Globes, missed this Oscar. Last year's actress Nicole Kidman was shortlisted for the Golden Globes this year, but she played in "Cold Mountain" "The performance in "The Oscar judges failed to impress, but the supporting actress Renee Zellweger was quite popular and was considered the most likely seed player to win the Best Supporting Actress Award.

Although "The Age of Pentium" was shortlisted for the best picture, it was more lucky than "Cold Mountain", which fell behind in advance, but Gary Rose still lost the best director, and his place was awarded by the director of "City of God" Fernando May Riles took over. Anthony Minghella, the director of "Cold Mountain", was also not shortlisted for the best director competition, but Sofia Coppola was lucky. In addition to being shortlisted for best director, he was also nominated for best original screenplay.

"The Pentium Age" was shortlisted for eight nominations: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Sound Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Photography, Best Costume Design, and Best Editing. Films such as "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" and "Rage of the Sea" have lagged behind by one position, but compared to the miserable situation of only three nominations at the Golden Globes, the current situation has greatly exceeded the expectations of the crew.

"The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" received the most nominations at this year's Oscars, with 3 nominations in total.This film trilogy has received a total of 11 Oscar nominations in three Oscars, second only to Francis F. Coppola's "Godfather" series, which received a total of 19 Oscar nominations, ranking first in film history. one.

After Ebert was nominated for an Oscar, the discussion about him in the media also reached the highest peak ever.Discussions about him on search networks and forums in the United States and in Los Angeles have been intermittent, but within half an hour of the announcement of the nomination list, the number exceeded five times the usual level and reached a historical high.Fans and fans are discussing nothing more than how Ebert transformed from a Razzie to an Oscar nominee, or whether his "Lucky Ebert" legend will continue and he has become the youngest Oscar nominee in film history one of them.

To be precise, Ebert can be ranked fourth in film history.

Although he grew one year after 04, in fact he has not yet celebrated his 24th birthday, and is now 23 years and 206 days old.

In the history of Oscars, the fifth youngest nominee is John Travolta, who is exactly 50 years old this year. He was nominated for best actor at the 1978th Oscar in 50. At that time, he was exactly 24 years old and 3 days old.

前三名记录的创造者分别是9岁20天的杰基·库珀和19岁、23岁都获得提名的米基·鲁尼，后者获得第二次提名的时间是23岁137天，略小于埃伯特。

Although not the youngest nominee, Ebert has broken a string of records.The competition in the actor department is completely different from that in the queen department, especially with the development of the Hollywood film industry and the maturity of the selection mechanism, the Oscar competition becomes more and more fierce every year. For young actors, if they want to break through their predecessors Blocking a nomination is a very difficult thing to do.

But Ebert did.

There is no doubt that he will be one of the most watched Oscar nominees this year.

The "National Enquirer" and "News of the World", which thought that Ebert would lose the Oscar nomination, could not help but stop at this time and focus on other nominees. Of course, they praised Sean in disgust. When Penn, Bill Murray, and others performed seasoned performances, the two newspapers would also add a sour sentence: "Competing with them, Albert Dawson has no hope."

But neither Ebert nor Lynn had time to care about the ridicule of the gossip tabloids at this time. After the nomination list was announced, Lynn quickly contacted Armani. Perhaps Armani would be indifferent to a Golden Globe nomination, but Oscar?Or providing costumes for one of the youngest Best Actor nominees in Oscar history?Even big names like Armani dare not underestimate them.

Armani is a company, and what companies are best at is identifying business opportunities.In the previous cooperation with Ebert, they have already sold a lot of hits, and that was still when the publicity platform was only fashion magazines and entertainment news, but Oscar is the most watched, the most dazzling star, no matter which luxury goods An important platform that companies dare not underestimate, for Armani, this is simply the best opportunity to advertise!

It is completely conceivable what will happen when Ebert puts on an Armani dress and appears on the red carpet of the Oscars. Ebert has a perfect face bestowed by God, and even a nondescript shirt can be worn by him For the perfect effect, Armani firmly believes that as long as Ebert puts on this dress carefully designed by the designers, it will definitely produce a 200% or even greater effect.

The Armani company is extremely grateful that Mr. Giorgio Armani signed a two-year contract with Ebert when he was not yet famous. At that time, the agreed endorsement fee was 2 US dollars a year. For an actor, this is already considered a good salary, and there was a lot of controversy within the Armani company.

But now, no one would doubt that the 160 million dollars was worthless. Ebert has created hundreds of millions of dollars in sales profits for Armani, and as he was shortlisted for the Oscars and attended the Oscars, this data will only be recognized. Unlimited magnification.

When "Pirates of the Caribbean" and "White Night" were shining in the summer of 03, Ebert's endorsement fee had already risen to 200 million US dollars a year. As of now, some companies are willing to pay 500 million US dollars. As long as the young Oscar nominee is willing to show his face in front of the camera for 2 minutes!

No one is a fool. There are already several luxury brands eyeing Ebert. Once the contract between Armani and Ebert reaches the agreed period, they will rush forward and prepare a sincere contract for Ebert.

At this time, the one who regrets the most is undoubtedly Givenchy.You know, the shirt that Ebert wore at the beginning was a product of Givenchy, but considering Ebert's status and fame at that time, Givenchy did not take a fancy to Ebert, but was seized by Armani.

But now, Armani, which only invested 160 million US dollars, has reaped hundreds of times the rate of return. Even if Givenchy wants to win Ebert's favor in the competition of major brands, the price it will pay will be 160 million dollars of 6 million. times or even 7 times.

After the Armani company contacted Lynn by phone, it sent the best designer of the American branch. Mr. Giorgio Armani also planned to fly from Milan to Los Angeles to participate in the dress design during this time.

As for Ebert, in addition to trying on red carpet dresses over and over again and giving his opinions, the most important thing for him is to welcome the blessings and jealousy of his friends.

Needless to say, Leonardo DiCaprio, although he was nominated for an Oscar before the age of 20, the best actor nomination has always been something he can't reach, even if he thinks he has contributed the most outstanding However, those "proud old men" in his mouth failed his hopes over and over again.

Tobey Maguire has established a friendship with Ebert since that visit. For Ebert's Oscar nomination, he also has a trace of regret. In any case, he gave up "Pentium" first. "The Era", and Ebert conquered the judges with his performance, Toby thought that even if he played the leading role, he might not be able to be nominated.

This is Ebert's strength.

Among the three of them, Ebert was the lowest in terms of fame and status, but after the Oscar nominations came out, his fame and social value almost achieved a leap-forward rise. In just three years, he was cast aside by everyone A golden raspberry winner turned Oscar candidate for best actor is a real-life version of "overnight success."

Both Leonardo and Toby have gone through a long period of struggle to achieve what they are today. Although they are already the youngest among Hollywood's first-line male stars, when they think of Ebert's Oscar nomination and his age, the two People still inevitably feel a sense of helplessness.

"I won't just look at that guy to be proud." Leonardo pointed to a photo of himself attending the Oscars ceremony that year. "Next year, I will definitely stand there."

Even if it's not next year, the year after, the year after... 10 years later, it's fine. After all, referring to the average age of an Oscar winner, he is too young.

If Leonardo was in the same time and space as Ebert in his previous life, he would definitely know what it means to make a prophecy come true.

But now, in this sky, history has quietly turned a corner.
