Ace Hollywood

? On February 11, 2003, at 5:30 pm, the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nomination list for the 75th Academy Awards. △↗,

The media described it as an established program that has been determined to be boring and surprising. Affected by the shady crisis that has not yet been alleviated by the Golden Globe Awards, there are also many comments that in the best picture category, the Oscars and the Golden Globe Awards The exact same result indicated that the manipulator may have reached out to Oscar.

It would be a catastrophe, and the glory of Hollywood would sink and perish.

However, no matter what, no one can change the status of the Oscar as the most watched award—even though, at this time, the United States has been shrouded in the shadow of the Iraq War.

Five days ago, Daniel accepted the appointment of Gutdis on the banks of the East River in Manhattan and officially became the Goodwill Ambassador of the United Nations Refugee Agency.

Unsurprisingly, he delivered his inaugural address, or rather an antiwar speech, in a crisp black suit and striped tie with a blue dolphin pattern, in front of a crowd of notables.

In his speech, Daniel described a frightening picture.

...The cities and villages of Iraq will become ruins one after another. The people will be displaced, bleeding and dying in shell fragments and stray bullets. The great people bred by the ancient Two Rivers civilization will suffer unbelievable disasters and threats of death...Army The advantage will be determined soon, but that is by no means a victory. The rebels will use their bodies and local knowledge to carry out roving, unpreventable attacks on crowded downtowns and US Army camps. Armies will face suicide attacks that are impossible to prevent, religious beliefs will be abused, cruel ambitions will grow from the ashes of war, and the world will usher in an era full of anxiety and terror. Winners, all losers, Americans, Americans, Iraqis, Muslims. And people all over the world who want to be at peace. We don't want to see countless refugees uprooted, and we don't want to see It is a tragic situation where fathers and sons are separated, and lovers are separated forever. I appeal to policymakers not to release the plague of war from Pandora's box, it will be a terrible disaster that we cannot afford.

This article was published by the New York Times—it is pro-Democrat. At this time, of course, the previous filth was exposed. The Times called it a poem-like anti-war essay, it said Daniel described a shocking picture in his speech, although his words were as euphemistic and gentle as possible. But everyone can see how disastrous the consequences will be if a war breaks out.

The arguments of other newspapers and media are also similar. Although it is the mainstream for power figures to support the war, and the silent majority seems to be the same, but those who jump out to rallies and marches are all anti-war groups, so public anti-war speeches, It is popular now. So benefit from that. Daniel's speech this time was basically spread in a positive and positive way.

Everyone is praising you for your well-written speech.

I wrote it four times and revised it fourteen times. Even if I'm not a person who likes to study very much, the result should be satisfactory.

To tell you the truth. I really don't believe that you got that little score on your SAT. Even from your first draft, you didn't take that much. Kusa shook his head, expressing his puzzlement.

Daniel glanced at him. Let me see if the top students at Brown University are laughing at me. Well, I didn't see it. Just pretend you mean it. In fact, I was making up classes. When I was filming in Burbank, whenever While Miller was ravaging his dumbbells and DeShare was making a face mask, I was finding time to read.

Wow, are you going to college?

Why not? I can take a break next year, I'm going to go to college, do business or something.

But you can't complete all the credits in one year, and you think that even if you don't film, you will be free?

Kusa couldn't understand Daniel's new idea, You can already go to Harvard or Wharton to give lectures, why should you study business?

From the perspective of feasibility, if I go to college in New York or California, I can still handle other affairs. And I don't plan to finish it in one year. I plan to spend seven or eight years and graduate before the age of 30. It's the best.

Well, I really don't want to hear my boss say he's going to take the SATs and apply to a college, Berkeley or Los Angeles, when I hand the list of Oscar winners?

So should I continue to answer? If it's not Berkeley, I hope it's New York University. Daniel raised his eyebrows. As for the list, I've seen it. It's not bad, isn't it?

The Pianist was shortlisted for seven awards including best picture, best director, and best actor-this is very different from what it encountered at the Golden Globes. Chicago was shortlisted for eleven items, becoming the biggest winner at the nomination moment. Of course, generally speaking, there are still a few films that were finally affirmed and supported by the judges. They and the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are almost the same in terms of overall evaluation standards, which seems to indicate that the judges of the Golden Globe Awards are still Those who abide by some basic rules, of course, it is also possible that Oscar does not know what the rules are at all.

He is not particularly interested in this list of nominations, because the result is no longer in suspense.

...

In March, Raymond has slowly invested more than 300 million funds into the crude oil market, and he is sweating. This is a tense moment for him and Daniel.

As the news that the United States is about to launch a war against Iraq has become more and more intense, although the crude oil market has remained relatively stable, the volatility has become more violent. Prudent investors have begun to carefully consider whether to exit or enter this market. Raymond, who was bought for many months, did not attract much attention.

Daniel is busy with public relations during the voting stage. This part of the work is very little. After all, this year is completely different. The most important factor is the war, and the second is that the opponents are now his wage earners. The most important work is the movie Hotel Rwanda jointly launched by him, MGM and Lions Gate. This movie is not the same as the original version. Denzel Washington has been deepened a lot vertically, and some moving supporting roles have also been introduced. The movie fully demonstrates the kindness and touching of human nature in a man-made disaster.

In December last year, the film was screened on a limited platform. As for the official release time, it was also finalized early, March 22—just before the Oscars. In this context, the release of such a film with sensitive themes is a matter of caution for investors and distributors. Losing money is the second priority. Once the public is angered, the consequences will be unimaginable. So the workload seems quite heavy.

Work continued until March 10, when the Oscars held a nominees luncheon at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where nearly 100 nominees received certificates of nomination and posed for photos with the statuette.

Nicole Kidman is busy performing Sisterhood with Renee Zweig and Diane Lane, while Martin Scorsese and Nicolas Cage talk about old friendships, and they collaborated on After all, Catherine Zeta-Jones has been talking about her huge belly, and the fact that she's due right around the time of the Oscars—that's a lot of work.

In general, the biggest topic of the luncheon is war!

Academy President Frank personally stated at the luncheon that the Oscars would not be cancelled. Since the United Kingdom and the United States set the deadline for Iraq to hand over its weapons of mass destruction on March 17, there has been an endless stream of news that Oscar will cancel this ceremony. Will Smith, Kate Blanche A large number of celebrities, such as special, said that they would not attend - most of them were not nominated, and not attending was just playing the anti-war card and gaining a little reputation.

Jill Cates, the producer responsible for broadcasting the Oscars, also stated that everything will go on as normal. He said that at this time, the Oscars should give full play to the charm of the film, which will declare unity and cohesion.

After the war, it was Daniel Sandler.

When he appeared, whether he was accidentally injured by him at the Golden Globe Awards, or he was secretly happy in his heart, he showed the most kind smile to him, and it seemed that he knew the whole Hollywood all at once.

Now a big star with a little knowledge should know that Daniel is completely different.

Fortunately, the murderous Daniel in the news still had a gentle attitude, chatting with everyone in a soft voice, expressing humility to the blessings, and then sending comforting wishes.

It seems that the Oscars are much more harmonious than the Golden Globes.

...

After the March 17th limit came, the atmosphere in the entire United States became tense. The Kodak Theater’s layout of the awards ceremony had been simplified to the point where it could no longer be reduced. Even the gold dust on the Oscar statuette outside the theater was scraped off. It dropped a layer and became dull, and all invited guests were also required to attend the event in appropriate formal attire.

Three days later, the British and American coalition forces officially began bombing Iraq.

The night before, Daniel entered the presidential suite of the furnished hotel, and he was inside, while Raymond and the trader who came later were outside. He was wearing a long black woolen suit, a gray knitted sweater and a white shirt, linen trousers and brown leather shoes underneath, like a middle-class American man on a business trip.

He walked straight into the elevator with ease, and waved the room card on his hand to the service staff behind him. (to be continued..)

ps: The first update, pass this paragraph quickly... Please recommend, I stepped on the death line of 150 votes yesterday, crying. u
