[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

Most ordinary people may think that Josie Horton's nomination for this year's Oscar is a bit unexpected, but for veteran players who are well versed in the rules of the Oscar game, this actually fully complies with the relevant procedures for Oscar nominations.

As we all know, the Oscars use a preference voting system in the nomination stage. The judges will write the names of the movies or filmmakers according to their preferences on the ballots, and they will be ranked in order.

After PwC receives the ballots, it calculates the total number of votes received in that category, divides it by the number of possible nominees, adds one, and then rounds to the nearest whole number.

Assuming a film or a filmmaker has votes higher than or equal to this integer, it is eligible for an Oscar nomination.

This is how the official nominee is first voted on.

Next, if there are less than five official nominees selected in the first round, PwC will conduct the next round of counting, that is, the person who received the fewest first-choice votes will be eliminated, and this part of the votes will be redistributed to the second-choice name on the ballot.

This process is repeated until five candidates are selected in each category.

What's interesting is that Josie Horton was the second choice for many girls who failed to compete in the Olympics this year.

Yes, she herself and her team did not work hard to get votes. They just followed the crew of "Life Sounds Sounds Because of You" step by step, and participated in parties and screenings for most of the awards season, but they never left people's sight. At the last moment, there was Many traditional paper media around Los Angeles sang her praises.

Some of the votes, Josie can still understand, is nothing more than seeing her nominated for the Golden Globe actress, and the promotion of "Level One Fear" is coming, and at the last minute, Paramount allocated a part of the promotional resources to pretend to be useless. something happens.

Then, Sean Penn not only introduced her into the small circle of the Santa Monica High School Alumni Association, but also praised her in front of many people.And as the rumors said, James Cameron launched his own network to canvass for votes in order to get Fox to agree to let Josie play the heroine of "Titanic".

Finally, it is the college's supporting factor for newcomers.

In any case, the scuffle caused Josie Horton, who was not very visible in the awards season, to emerge suddenly at the last minute and win the last seat on the list of Best Supporting Actress nominations.

On the contrary, Nicole Kidman, who has a strong sense of presence throughout the awards season, was blocked by this year's strong contenders for the Oscar queen because of her ambition written on her face, and she stopped being nominated.

Josie's selection benefited from the public relations strategy and the Oscar's voting mechanism, but the final voting process has always been a direct voting system of one person, one vote, and the one with the highest vote rate will win, so it is impossible to replicate the gameplay of the nomination stage - except for the best picture For the final selection, it is still a preference voting system.

Josie, who was nominated by accident, was very satisfied, and did not rush into public relations because of this, hoping that the Oscar would continue this miracle-in fact, she knew that she would never win the statuette-but at the end of the awards season, she completely Keep a low profile and polite enough.

By the way, she also placed a bet on "Dead Row Walking" Susan Sarandon won the Best Actress, the odds are +800, while Nicolas Cage, who swept the awards season, is -300, which is It will bring her an extra income.

Josie went to the Oscars alone that day.

Appeared on the red carpet and took more than ten minutes of beautiful photos, served as the award presenter for the best animated feature film at the award ceremony, and finally showed a perfect smile in front of the live broadcast of the best supporting actress this year, and gave the award-winning Mira Sorvino of Powerful Aphrodisiac applauds.

Oh, by the way, Steven Seagal, an action star who once had conflicts with Josie, also appeared at the award ceremony to present the award for the best sound effect this year.

The last sequel film starring this "big star" performed unsatisfactorily in theaters. He was crushed by another action star Kurt Russell in the just-released "Maximum Crisis", but Fortunately, the word-of-mouth box office of the film is not bad.

After doing this, on the surface, her task about the Oscars is complete, but the fact is that the various parties after the Oscars are the highlight.

Due to the failure of "Life Sounds to You" at this year's Oscars, Josie went directly to the celebration party of "Death Row Walking" next door after the awards ceremony.

"You came just in time, Josie." Sean Penn said in a very friendly tone. He did not attend the Oscar ceremony, but appeared directly at the celebration party. His own family wrote letters, his mother and sister were in tears, and I think he might be able to take on some simple jobs like hosting Saturday Night Live or something. You know, too long to be in front of people, Hollywood is fast will forget his name."

Josie didn't comment on this, but only reminded: "If your people can fully appreciate him."

Sean Pan was a little shaken when he heard it, but he didn't continue to discuss this topic, but asked Josie: "I heard that you have accepted "Mr. Sweetheart" and "Titanic", so you still have time at the end of this year." Is it? I'm going to do a crime thriller directed by Oliver Stone next, and I'm missing a female lead."

This is the benefit of networking.

Many films do not openly recruit actors, and will not conduct public auditions. Only well-connected agents and friends of the main creative members can get tickets for role auditions early.

Just Oliver Stone and Sean Penn, these two names together, it is already a good show, but it is very regrettable that Josie likes Al Pacino so much, she has already Decided to fight for the "Devil's Advocate" that Keanu was confirmed to star in.

"Sorry, Sean, as much as I'd like to work with you, I'm talking to Warner about a movie, so I don't have the resources to do it." If possible, Josie would like to have 730 days a year, or a little more.

"It's okay, there will be opportunities in the future." Sean Penn didn't care, and still said: "Come with me, I think you should meet old Jack..."

There are many people called "Jack" in Hollywood, but Jack Nicholson is probably the only one who is qualified to be called "Old Jack" by Sean Penn.As one of the top actors and box office stars in the world today, Jack Nicholson is nearly [-] years old, and he was not very tall and handsome when he was young, but he has a powerful aura that cannot be ignored, neither elegant nor vulgar, Just standing there quietly will produce an intriguing story.

Sean Penn introduced Josie to Jack Nicholson, who said: "Oh, I know you, that audition tape you did for Paramount is very famous in the circle, it's kind of like Anthony Burger. Kings style. Well done."

Josie thanked her somewhat restrainedly and shyly, and then heard Jack Nicholson chatting with Sean Penn about a movie project.

"Is there time when Oliver Stone's film is finished? I have a project in hand." Jack Nicholson asked.

"Yes, yes. But I have already signed a new play by Douglas Jr." Sean Penn was referring to Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, whose father Kirk Douglas was also a well-known actor in the circle.He thought maybe Robert Downey Jr. could fight for this role, so he asked, "What kind of role?"

"A very interesting gay painter." Jack Nicholson replied, but immediately added, "You know my temper, I will not tolerate an uncontrollable factor in my crew, such as an actor who is on the edge of OD. "

"Okay." Sean Pan felt helpless.

After the Oscars ended, Josie officially joined the filming of "Mr. Sweetheart". During this period, she received the script of "The Devil's Advocate", but she needs to pass a role audition to have a chance to get the role.

Well, it's Keanu Reeves after all, it's Al Pacino after all, and they're well worth an audition.

Other than that, the filming of "Mr. Sweetheart" is going smoothly.

For Tom Cruise, a superstar, Josie originally admired it very much, so she handled the heroine's admiration for the male protagonist in the script with a mixture of longing and admiration, because she already admired Tom Cruise very much. Brother, so it is quite sincere.

Tom Cruise is indeed a rumored super workaholic, and he also has some perfectionism and control freak tendencies. Therefore, the entire crew seems to be artificially clockworked for efficiency, and no one dares to do some messy things in the crew.

It is worth mentioning that Stacey Dash, who once worked with Josie in "Leading the Show", also got a role, but this time she felt very complicated when facing Josie.

"Thanks." Stacey Dash knocked on the door of Josie's makeup trailer, and deliberately came a day earlier to wait for Josie to finish work, "I know you recommended me to Cameron Crowe. "

After "Leading the Coquettish" was released, the circumstances of the three leading actors were different, but there is no doubt that Qiao Qian was the one who gained the most and had the smoothest star journey among the three actresses.

In contrast, Stacey Dash, who is about to turn 30, can't continue to act in youth movies, and the heroines of orthodox commercial films are almost unavailable to people of color-even if they get their turn, the competition is also unusually fierce .

Besides, her agent didn't seriously choose job opportunities for her at all. Of the three actresses who also starred in "Leading the Coquettish", only Stacey Dash signed the contract for the TV drama version. And one sign is a full three seasons.

It is conceivable that this is not a good situation for actors who are on the rise in their careers.

In this way, accepting the olive branch from Josie Horton, who had conflicts in the past, and appearing in Tom Cruise's movie, for Stacy Dash, it is a dream opportunity .

Because no matter whether it is super rookie Josie Horton or superstar Tom Cruise, even if one of these two popular names is singled out, it is enough to attract people into the cinema.

"It's just a small matter." Josie sat back on the chair and let Kelly remove her makeup.

Her indifferent attitude made Stacey a little uneasy, so the latter couldn't help but say: "Also, I'm sorry, about calling you 'silly blonde' and 'bitch' earlier , Unspoken rules and the like are also because I am too small-minded and jealous that you got the heroine, so I talk nonsense. In short, thank you for helping me regardless of the past."

"It's not completely disregarding the past." Josie glanced at Stacy in the mirror, "You are right, I am a bitch, so I need a follower who is more bitch than me. We each take what we need.—— Do you understand what I mean?"

"What?" Stacey's reaction was a bit slower, and her face was still a little dazed.

Josie sighed in her heart, and said, "What I mean is, if someone in the crew makes trouble, use your courage and eloquence to fight when you come up before, and tear it back for me. Of course, it's best not to really do it."

"It's no problem." Stacey agreed, "To be honest, I have never lost in this respect except you."

Josie showed a smirk: "Then I still have to thank you for your compliment?"

In fact, the crew with Tom Cruise basically don't have to worry about these small conflicts in private.

On the one hand, it’s because Liangtang’s status is too high, and she has absolute control over many things in the crew; her business.

Of course, Liangtang would not even look for things about his little fans. Even because of this, and Josie's focus and professionalism during filming, he was always very kind to her.

Hey, to be honest, this man is really good everywhere, but he is not very good as a boyfriend or husband.

Therefore, under Josie's initiative, she quickly became good friends with Mrs. Cruise who came to visit the class, that is, Nicole Kidman, and occasionally shared some emotional topics.

"So you're in favor of open relationships?" the Aussie asked the day the two touched up on the topic.

"No, it's not like that." Josie thought for a while and replied, "To be precise, I don't believe that love can maintain a stable long-term relationship. I believe in instant gratification. I am a person who believes in myself more. I can't even imagine being careful or tearing my heart for another person, or even shed any unworthy tears."

"Besides, I doubt whether anyone can accept the real, ugly me instead of the bright, beautiful me he sees in his eyes. Can he really love me more than his life? Can he really keep it forever? The first love?" At this point, Josie smiled, "It's a pity that I can't do it myself. And I, I know that many people think of getting engaged or even getting married when they first start dating. Terrible."

Nicole couldn't agree with Josie's point of view, but she respected it, "Maybe you are right, according to your way, you will rarely get hurt in your relationship, which is good."

Although it is very good, for Nicole, she still hopes that she can have a perfect family in the traditional sense, and she is also working hard for another new member of the perfect family recently.

But there is not much time left for her, because Tom is busy filming "Mr. Sweetheart", and she is about to join the group to film "The Peacemaker".

The author has something to say: Ah Tang and Nicole, it's hard to get over it...
