The Best Entertainment Era

The Oscars, the ultimate annual party of the Hollywood film industry.

It may be delayed, it may be controversial, but it is never absent.

On the last weekend of February 2005, the 77th Academy Awards Ceremony kicked off amidst countless people watching.

Every Academy Awards ceremony is always accompanied by various noises.

This year is of course no exception.

The groups of the affirmative movement and the black movement occupied the best position at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard early on, and conveyed their ideas to the world.

Some activists, not far from the Kodak Theater, lit candles in memory of the Atlanta victim.

The Los Angeles police are on the verge of a formidable enemy, for fear of causing an unmanageable incident.

Fortunately, until the red carpet ceremony of the awards ceremony began, the protests and various activities only stayed at the stage of shouting slogans, and did not evolve into the traditional riots in Los Angeles. The situation was completely under control.

The current social situation has a huge impact on Oscar.

These are not only reflected in the award selection, those stars with a keen sense of smell have already prepared for their outfits.

For example, this year's black dresses are particularly popular, not only black movie stars like Will Smith and Halle Berry appeared in black solemn images, like Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Brad De Pitt, etc., when more than half of the guests walked on the red carpet, they were wearing black or dark dresses.

Hollywood stars can be very fucked up about a lot of things, but their sense of smell is often exceptional.

This time, the black wave is surging, with unprecedented momentum, and it is also the Oscar nomination for the most blacks in history.

Accordingly, this has set a tone for this year's Oscars.

Even the host of this year's Oscars is the black comedy star Chris Rock.

Throughout the history of the Oscars, most of the time this award seems to be only related to white movie stars, and the proportion of nominations for black people is only 3%.

This is true of the performance industry, as is the behind-the-scenes technical work.

In the high-tech jobs behind the scenes, the proportion of black practitioners is lower than that of actors.

In Hollywood, the number of black directors and black producers is even smaller.

Of course, these situations are not only caused by the environment.

Ronan wore a black formal suit and entered the Kodak Theater. Instead of going to sit in the lobby immediately, he chatted with Harvey Weinstein who he met for a while.

This year, you're going to have a good harvest. Harvey Weinstein shook his head and said, How many are sure?

Ronan shrugged slightly: Who can guarantee it until the end.

According to his wishes, of course it would be best to take all the nominated statuettes, but this is obviously impossible.

Harvey Weinstein said: This class, Miramax is going to go away empty-handed.

There aren't many nominations directly tied to Miramax.

The fat man was very polite in front of him, and Ronan also said politely: It's because Disney is holding you back.

Hearing Disney, Harvey Weinstein could only sigh: Continuing is not the answer after all.

Do you have other ideas? Ronan deliberately put on a curious look: Do you have any good ideas?

Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: Where there are good ideas, they are always suppressed by Disney. I am a little depressed, like I can't breathe.

It will pass. Ronan said nonsense that even he himself did not believe.

Harvey Weinstein glanced at Ronan: Unfortunately, Miramax does not have the strength of Relativity Entertainment, otherwise I will bite Michael Eisner hard.

Ronan smiled: This kind of thing is hard to say.

Harvey Weinstein invited Ronan into the hall together, and the two walked not far away, and met the white hat Zhang and Director Zhang, who shook hands with Ronan politely, but ignored Harvey Weinstein. Ernstein.

This is also the result of Harvey Weinstein's tricks in buying copyrights.

Compared to this fat man, Ronan definitely belongs to the kind of person who follows the rules.

Although the box office of Ten Faces of Haze is not good in North America, it does not mean that it is particularly bad. Lionsgate wants to recover investment through offline operations, and also applied for an Oscar for this film.

After Hero, Director Zhang won another Oscar nomination for Best Foreign Language Film.

At the same time, the film was also nominated for Best Cinematography.

The most praised thing about Ten Faces of Haze is the photography, and even some media in North America said that the film's director level has seriously hindered the photography...

It is very difficult for this film to win an award. Let’s talk about the best foreign language film award. In terms of subject matter and content alone, the familiarity of the Oscar judges is not even comparable to Eavesdropping Storm.

Entering the main hall, Ronan found the crew of When Happiness Knocks on the Door and sat with Will Smith.

Are you nervous? Ronan glanced, and Will Smith kept shaking his legs.

Will Smith said frankly: Of course I'm nervous. After so much hard work, the success or failure depends on tonight. Everyone will be nervous.

It's useless to be nervous. Ronan said deliberately: The results of the awards have come out, and we still have a chance to find someone to kill the two big bosses of PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Will Smith rubbed his face and said, I'm better. He asked instead, Has the money invested in When Happiness Knocks been paid off?

Ronan understood what Will Smith meant, and said, Don't worry, we've already paid back.

Relativity Entertainment's four films for the Olympic Games have already recovered their cost.

Today, When Happiness Comes Knocking has been released for 12 weeks, and the North American box office has accumulated a total of 210.23 million US dollars.

Although the film is still released in North America because of the Oscars, the box office market is almost exhausted. If Will Smith can get the best actor, maybe he can do another wave.

The North American box office of The Emperor Penguin Diaries, nominated for the best documentary feature film, is close to 75 million U.S. dollars.

Fahrenheit 9/11 did not receive any Oscar nominations due to its subject matter and content, but it did quite well in the Golden Raspberry Awards.

It's not that Colin Farrell, who had a disastrous performance in Alexander the Great, won the Golden Raspberry Award for Best Actor.

In terms of film awards, Little is not has successfully surpassed all the presidents of the United States.

The biggest news of this year's Razzie is not that it's not a small thing, but that Halle Berry, the Best Actress in the last Oscar, holds the Oscar statuette and personally receives the Golden Raspberry Worst Actress award.

The film Catwoman directly brought Halle Berry's career down a notch.

The Oscar curse has also come true again.

It is also a film that did not invest too much resources. The performance of Eavesdropping Storm is much worse. The scale of North American screenings has never exceeded 400, and the North American box office has just reached 9 million US dollars.

Fortunately, the embassy film industry has always been very rational, and has always controlled the investment scale of Eavesdropping Storm. Most of the copies were shipped from the UK after it was released.

Although Crash is also a small audience, it is about American affairs after all. After receiving multiple Oscar nominations, the market performance is much better. After more than two months of screening, the North American box office has accumulated a total of 55.79 million US dollars, which has already brought a lot. Phil's profit.

Similar to When Happiness Comes Knocking, the heavyweight Oscar award can also be a booster for Crash to enter overseas markets.

As time went on, more and more people entered the Kodak Theater, including such hot seeds as Million Dollar Baby.

Clint Eastwood was also nominated for Best Actor, so there is also the possibility of a certain upset.

As for the crew of The Aviator led by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, it is relatively quiet, and probably the main creative team of the crew has also realized the fate of possibly accompanying them.

Compared with other films that have received multiple nominations, The Aviator has suffered too much criticism since its release.

Even many film critics Martin Scorsese is too ugly in order to hit the Oscars.

Finally, amidst the sound of music, the 77th Academy Awards Ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps this year's Oscar Organizing Committee took into account the current social situation and specially chose a black comedy star like Chris Rock as the host.

Chris Rock gagged and tried his best to clarify his position at this year's Oscars.

To put it in terms of the other side of the Pacific Ocean, the atmosphere of the Oscars tonight is best described in this way - we black people, we are so happy today...

There are some things that are so obvious that anyone with a discerning eye can see that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has painstakingly and carefully balanced all kinds of things with the goal of being as politically correct as possible.

In the face of these, film art is no longer important, and even becomes dispensable.

Those who still hold the idea of ​​winning an Oscar based on film art alone can only say that it is too simple and too naive.

Tonight, the Oscars let the black brothers feel that they stand up the most important!

Therefore, the first award awarded at this year's Academy Awards, namely Best Supporting Actor, set the tone for the entire awards ceremony.

Best Supporting Actor goes to... the previous Best Supporting Actress Scarlett Johansson announced: Morgan Freeman, 'Million Dollar Baby.'

In an instant, the audience burst into extremely enthusiastic applause, as if this was not a victory for film art, but a victory for social progress!

Morgan Freeman took the stage to accept the award. After the routine thank you, he shouted loudly: Hollywood is still making history, and Hollywood is making progress together with the world! I hope that one day, the race and skin color of actors will no longer be defined Mentioned traits!

The applause became more enthusiastic.

Then, the technical awards began to be presented, and it was time for The Aviator.

The Oscars have always liked to strike a balance. All aspects must be considered. The competition between various companies must also be balanced, and the various orientations of the film must also be balanced. Therefore, the technical award and the adapted screenplay award have become important bargaining chips for balance. The Aviator has no chance of major awards, but it is well-made, and such labor needs to be rewarded.
