Academy President Sid Ganis and actress Salma Hayek announced the nominations to more than 800 journalists from around the world at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills.

Hayek is a representative figure of Mexican actors currently active in Hollywood. The reason why the Academy made this selection arrangement is because of several popular films this year: Babel, Pan's Labyrinth, Children of Men, Apocalypse Record has many Mexican nominee candidates; and this year is destined to be a year of racial diversity and an international year, including black Dreamgirls and The Last Dictator, Asians The Dead (adaptation of Infernal Affairs The Road), The Director, and Borat, The Queen, Scandal and other films British Legion...

On the TV screen, Ganis and Hayes read the results at intervals, and the large screen behind them displayed the photos and names of the nominees in the categories of Best Visual Effects, Best Editing, Best Costume Design, etc. After the awards, came Best Photography.

The nominees for Best Cinematography are: Pan's Labyrinth by Guillermo Navarro; The Black Dahlia by Vilmos Siegmund; The Dead by Harry George; Children of Men by Al Manlauer-Laubisik; The Magician, Dick Pope.

Oh, my God - A trembling scream echoed through the living room, unbelievable! ecstatic! Harry George's fat face was shaking wildly. He actually got an Oscar nomination for Best Cinematography. Surprisingly, unexpectedly... Harry stamped his feet crazily, raised his head and shouted: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhin on on.

How can it be! He has entered the hall that represents the highest level of film photography. What an honor! ? damn it! Harry sat down on the sofa and gasped for breath, his eyes flashing with tears, how is this possible! He's shortlisted! Once upon a time, he enthusiastically went to interview with various film crews; once upon a time, he gave up on himself and was angry at McDonald's, and then Yang showed up, and then... now, he did it! Dreams have come true, dreams come true again.

Wow—— At the same time, Wang Yang and others were jumping and shouting with excitement and joy. Harry's voice was not an absolute advantage. Being shortlisted was a narrow win. It seemed that simultaneous shooting and the short production cycle of The Dead gave him The bonus is huge, and works such as The Hangover and 500 Days with Summer also give him sufficient qualifications.

damn it! Yang, Yang, Yang! After regaining his composure, Harry picked up his phone and prepared to call Wang Yang, with a big smile on his face. He really wanted to share this joy with the director. It was great! Now let’s move on to the reveal ceremony!

Leonardo DiCaprio, Blood Diamond; Heath Ledger, The Dead; Peter O'Toole, The Last Day; Michael Pitt, The Dead; Forest Huey Turk, The Last Dictatorship.

Oh! Looking at the handsome young man on the live screen, Yami Bochet opened his mouth wide and shouted in joy. Michael Pitt sat motionless without any expression. He was nominated for an Oscar. He was nominated for an Oscar. Best Actor, oh my God! His heart was pounding, and he suddenly wanted to smoke a cigarette.

He likes acting, and it doesn’t matter if he is nominated for any award. He just likes acting, likes to enter the inner world of different characters, and likes to experience different lives... Colin is his most successful and proudest role. This Oscar The nomination seemed to affirm his life. Although I was mentally prepared after the Golden Globe Awards and other preliminaries, happiness still came too suddenly! This feeling of being punched all over was just like when he got his first role, his first male lead... his dream came true.

I want to be an actor!, I want to be an excellent actor, an actor with many scenes and many lines. This is what I want to do! This is my answer! Michael's eyes gradually became moist. Who would have thought? Just laugh, he really wants to cry!

When the unveiling ceremony was completed, Wang Yang was selected for the best director and best film for the second consecutive year. There was a burst of warm applause in the living room for a long time before it stopped. Yami saw Michael pick up the phone immediately, and he knew without guessing that he was going to give Wang Yang called. He had to say something to the director before he cried! Michael's mind was surging, but his cell phone showed that the other party was on a call. He couldn't help laughing. There must be many people looking for Wang Yang.

Wait! Michael suddenly exhaled a long breath, remembering Wang Yang's words that inspired him, if you can become actor Michael Pitt from Michael Pitt, you can become anyone!

Yes, anyone! His road will continue, and Colin is definitely just the beginning. Maybe he will lose to Heath Ledger or others this year, but he believes that one day he will win an Oscar for Wang Yang and himself. Best Actor, that means he gave a great performance, that was the answer to his life.

In the clear blue sky, the sun gradually rose completely, and it was another good day. Media from all over the world are reporting on the fresh and hot nomination list of the 79th Oscars. Yahoo, AOL, Sina, Tencent...

The hit The Dead lived up to expectations and was nominated for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Ledger, Pitt), Best Supporting Actor (Wahlberg), Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, with a total of 8 nominations in 7 categories, and Dreamgirls jointly lead this year's Oscars!

Little Miss Sunshine won Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor (Alan Arkin), Best Actress (Toni Collette), Best Supporting Actress (Abigail Breslin), Best Original Screenplay, becoming a dazzling dark horse with 5 nominations! In addition, The Illusion entered the competition for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design, The Prestige had Best Art Direction, and Mamma Mia! 》There is no gain.

Nonetheless, another great harvest for Fire Movies! Entered into 12 awards (50), with a total of 16 nominations (14)! It has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Picture for three consecutive years, and two films each year. This also means that it has completely entered a mature track and become one of the most important forces that cannot be ignored during the awards season.

In terms of other films this year, films such as Dreamgirls with 8 nominations, Babel with 7 nominations, and Pan's Labyrinth with 6 nominations all had a great harvest; Mexicans, who received 12 nominations, The 13 nominated Brits stole the show; there are also Asian, African and Latino Americans, making it the most racially diverse lineup ever. It is worth mentioning that Xi Zhongwen from the Chinese film A City of Golden Armor was shortlisted for Best Costume Design.

The Amazing Director had a total of 5 nominations for Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Score, and Best Sound Effects; it surprisingly failed to win Best Picture, and failed to create a new record in Best Actor. History has become a very controversial topic this year.

I love Magic Yang!!! But Yang fans still have to be depressed for a long time, Yang fans are overjoyed, and the media are rushing to praise the madness that they are accustomed to. Magic Yang has received 3 nominations, and has been selected for the Oscar for two consecutive years. Best director, nominated for 3 Oscars for Best Director at the age of 27 (23)! A new glory has been achieved!

Time flies. On January 28, this year’s Sundance Film Festival came to an end. Fire movies did not find dusty pearls like Little Miss Sunshine and The Illusionist, but the number of films in the film library increased by more than a dozen. .

Wang Yang's family had left Park City a few days ago and traveled to San Diego. Keke saw three giant pandas after a year's absence. For her, this may be the first time she saw black and white bears. Anyway, she has always seen them. She immediately fell in love with this naive animal, but she is also very interested in lions and tigers.

When the calendar turned to February, Wang Yang's family ended their sweet and happy wedding anniversary trip. Wang Yang felt tired and full of energy. He could devote himself to the post-production work of I Am Legend, and it The special effects production started very early.

Wang Yang is not the only one who has returned to work. The filming of Bridesmaids has started. Jessica, who has been away from the studio performance area for more than two years, is making a strong comeback!

Director Anne Fletcher did not see a person who was constantly having sex, but a mature actor. From Sweetheart to Bridesmaids, she could naturally see Jessica's progress. This time it's not as simple as making progress. Jessica is very comfortable with Cathy. It's not like acting at all. Standing in front of the camera is just a show. As for positioning, angles, etc., she knows how to make herself the most beautiful.

If this is her first time making a movie, she can be called a genius! What Fletcher doesn't quite know is that after recovering from the second baby, Jessica was preparing for this role while caring for her husband and goddaughter. Cathy is perfect for her! All her temperament, preferences, identity, etc. are completely designed for her. Jessica is undoubtedly a person who likes to perform, and Cathy makes her feel that she can fully devote herself to it, so she is determined to confidently say to herself, this It's going to be a great show!

Keke is being taken care of by Wang's mother, but Jessica can work with complete confidence. Her comeback will last until the filming of Firefly 2 is completed in September. The latter will have to leave Los Angeles for a long time when filming location and studio scenes. Time, I don’t know what will happen if Keke can’t see her mother all day. Fortunately, the little angel has been independent and self-reliant since he was a child. He is not too clingy and can play happily with anyone, which eliminates a lot of worries.

Bridesmaids has been filming for several days and there is another reason why there are so few ngs on the set. Of course, it is because the leading actors such as Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, and Anne Dalen all performed very well.

No, this dress has a better temperament!... On the bridal shop set, the bridesmaids and the bride in the performance area were trying on wedding dresses and bridesmaid dresses. Jessica and Wiig were arguing endlessly, tit-for-tat and glaring. A fight is about to start at any time, the bride Rudolf looks embarrassed, and Anne and others have nothing to do.

Cut! Anne Fletcher shouted to stop the camera. Everyone saw her nodding and smiling: Well, this is over, let's prepare for the next set of shots. The leading actors were going to the fitting room to change dresses, Jessica Maintaining her character's momentum, she walked ahead and returned to the set for almost two weeks. She quickly got used to the rhythm of working during the day, and sometimes she would inevitably miss Ke Ke. Jessica. Anne suddenly called out and pointed to the side with a smile, Look who is here?

Jessica turned around and saw Ke Ke running over quickly, Mom! She opened her arms in surprise and walked away with a smile, Sweetheart! Who brought the baby here? Immediately she saw Wang Yang walking into the bridal shop again. She picked up Ke Ke and walked towards him, smiling and saying, Why are you here to visit me!

Hi, guys! Wang Yang waved to everyone. Seeing Jessica's bright smile, he was quite satisfied with the effect of this surprise, and pretended to be confused: What did you say? This is my set. Jessica then remembered that he was the producer of Bridesmaids, who told him not to show up all day long! She stuck out her tongue and laughed: ok. Keke kept shouting: Mom, mom, mom, mom! She grabbed her cheek again and successfully attracted her mother's attention. Jessica A childish voice asked: What's wrong?

Wang Yang left them behind and walked towards the staff in front, greeting, encouraging, praising, etc. When he saw the woman with freckles on her face, he smiled again: Hi, Annie!

Hi, Miraculous Yang, director. Annie smiled. Every time she saw this man, she would feel particularly happy. Whether he knew it or not, he had always been motivating her to move forward and giving her Lots of sunshine power. I heard from Annie that you performed very well! Wang Yang looked at Fletcher not far away and shouted with a smile: Annie! How is this guy's performance? Fletcher gave a thumbs up and praised. : Very good! Everyone smiled. Anne-Dahlen, who is kind to others, is very popular.

Thank you. This role suits me very well. Anne's smile was a little shy, because her character was very neurotic, but she felt really great playing it, and she cherished it very much.

Annie's hard work is obvious to all, and her acting skills are becoming more and more mature. If there is a chance in the future, Wang Yang hopes to work with her as a director and heroine. He thinks there will always be this opportunity. The result is exactly different from the audition result many years ago. He He nodded and smiled: Come on. He walked towards Weig again, Hi! Kristen.

After a round of greetings, Wang Yang took Keke back and stood on the sidelines. His identity really became the family members of the visiting team. However, it turned out that the two people’s visiting team was not very effective. It was probably due to distraction. Jessica’s The number of ngs rose sharply, and then slowly dropped after they left in the afternoon.

Previously, the results of the Directors Guild of America Awards were announced on February 3. The impressive Martin Scorsese eliminated Wang Yang and others and won the trophy with a smile; the Screen Actors Guild Awards were announced earlier on January 28. On February 9, the star-studded The Dead successfully won the Best Actor, with Heath Ledger and Helen Mirren winning Best Actor and Best Actress; at the Writers Guild Awards announced on February 9, Little Miss Sunshine and The Dead Won the Best Original Adapted Screenplay respectively...

Time flies, and the festive and joyful Lunar New Year arrives with the sound of firecrackers in Chinatown. On February 25, the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, night falls, and the much-anticipated 79th Oscar Awards Ceremony is held at the Kodak Theater!

Tens of millions of viewers across the United States watch the live broadcast channels, and hundreds of millions of global viewers either watch the broadcast or follow this annual film event online.

Awards that touched the hearts of movie fans were awarded one after another under the host of Ellen DeGeneres and various award presenters took the stage. The heartthrob Wang Yang came on stage to award the best makeup (David Marty, Monte West Leiber, Pan's Labyrinth), he did not disappoint the long-awaited audience. His wonderful speech stole the spotlight from DeGeneres, causing the audience to burst into laughter that reached a new decibel level.

Oscar night basically followed the trend of the frontline battle. There were no upsets in the technical awards. The Magician and The Prestige did not win. Best Editing (Angus Wall \u0026 Kirk Backus) Special) and Best Original Score (Trent Reno) all belong to The Amazing Director; however, the Best Cinematography Award was won by Guillermo Navarro of Pan's Labyrinth, and the Photographers Guild previously selected Ayman Laue-Laubisik in Children of Men.

Regarding this result, big fat Harry George has a very cheerful and calm mentality. His journey has just begun. Besides, compared to selling hamburgers at McDonald's, the most important thing is the fun that the camera brings him.

The German film Overheard was crowned the best foreign language film; Happy Feet won the award for the best animated film; Wang Yang defeated Alan Thaw of The Director amid crazy thunderous applause and loud cheers from the audience. King and others raised the trophy for Best Adapted Screenplay high; then Michael Arndt of Little Miss Sunshine kissed the trophy for Best Original Screenplay. This is not the only performance of the dark horse, Grandpa Ai Len Arkin won Best Supporting Actor, but in terms of supporting actress, the most popular Olive little Abigail lost to Dreamgirls Jennifer Hudson.

The media had analyzed beforehand that the Academy judges might think that it would be bad for a child's growth and development if she won the award so early. In addition, the performances of several other nominees were also amazing enough, so the Oscars are likely to make a decision. The other options turned out to be like this.

With the 61-year-old Helen Mirren winning the Oscar for Best Actress for the first time for The Queen, the awards ceremony has reached its most tense moment, including Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture!

Hoo ho! Under the applause of thousands of guests and spectators, the last Oscar-winning actress Reese Witherspoon walked out of the side of the stage with a result envelope in hand and a sweet smile.
