Date: March 2003

Location: Kodak Theatre, Hollywood, Los Angeles, USA

Host: Steve Martin

The annual Oscars were soon arrived.

The 75th Academy Awards ceremony was also held to commemorate the 75th anniversary of this ceremony, but due to the close date of the US-Iran War, the ceremony was not publicly announced until five days before the ceremony was held.

The shadow of war blinds the entire United States and the world, and the Americans want to find the place. Driven by the Bush administration, this seems to have formed an unstoppable trend. No matter how many anti-war parades there are, the army has begun to start.

Affected by this, the scale and public opinion propaganda of this ceremony were very small, and there were many winners, and even radicals loudly declared that "The Oscars should be suspended to protest the war in the United States"!

Before the meeting was held, Chen Tiandu had already returned to Los Angeles. The reporter soon found his figure and rushed to ask him about his views on the war. Not long after he got off the plane, he hadn't been inverted with the jet lag, and he was so annoyed by the time he was about to attend the awards ceremony. I guess all the big names who were about to attend the award ceremony could not ignore this problem.

"Okay, let me talk. My position can be considered neutral to both the United States and Iraq. Do you agree with this?"

"yes,yes..." Hearing that Chen Tian was willing to accept an interview, the reporters quickly responded.

Chen Tiandu said seriously: "Peace, I love peace. Any war is a rude and despicable villain, no matter what the reason is."

"My motherland has experienced a long war invasion and finally recovered from prosperity. I feel most empathetic about it. But the Americans have obviously forgotten the pain of war for a long time. Obviously, this battle will not end in a short time as the US government advocates. You will be dragged by the war, one by one, one by one, like a whirlpool of hell, dragging the young people deeply into the whirlpool of this quagmire."

"Young people in the United States will be injured, and the army will definitely die. At that time, many families will lose their relatives and be displaced. And even more miserable scenes will happen in the Middle East, and your photography lenses should be shot there. Compared to the high-tech weapons of the United States, you should go to fight Iraq. That is completely no different from massacre. Once the war begins, many innocent people who are unarmed and even wear clothes in a bad manner will die tragically under the fire of no eyes. I think this is anyone with a conscience who will not forgive his actions, and God will not forgive a tycoon."

“That’s all.”

He turned around and got into the car.

The reporters quickly asked, "Chen. Why do you think the war will last for a long time? The United States has the most cutting-edge weapons, and Irak, who can fight without sending troops at all, has no power to fight back..."

"Then what do you think Yilak will surrender soon?" Hearing this, Chen Tiandu rolled down the window and asked, "You are wrong. Even if your missiles can clean the land of Yilak, they will not be able to cover the long mountain caves in the Middle East. The situation is complicated. Street fighting is inevitable. If you don't know the cruelty of street fighting, then please go back and watch those Hollywood war movies. My words will be verified, just not long after."

The car was driving on the road, and Peck worriedly said, "Chan, is it okay for you to say these words? After all, we have made many enemies. And your nationality will also be subject to some hatred."

"It doesn't matter."

Chen Tian was very happy, "Because I wouldn't be the most attractive moment, there will be more radicals who will steal the limelight from others."

After such a fuss, Chen Tian became even more indifferent to participating in the Oscars.

In the shadow of war, for this ceremony that gathers celebrities, security work is naturally the top priority. The hotels, shopping malls, subways, bus stations and other facilities near Kodak Theater are all closed; any planes are prohibited from passing over the Kodak Theater area; patrol security personnel are everywhere inside and outside the theater and in the Hollywood Avenue where the theater is located.

This year's media prediction awards are very different from the critics' calls. The biggest voice of the fans is of course "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Twin Towers", which I wish it could sweep all awards; but the media are not optimistic about the Oscars' surprise change, and they are even more optimistic about the academic orthodox, retro "Chicago".

On the red carpet, I met Natalie Portman again, and she was still so... "small".

"Chan, I have a bad premonition. This Oscar must be ugly." Natalie predicted with a look of a gypsy witch on her face. Look at the people around her. When they were interviewed, they all avoided talking about war. There were also radicals such as Sean Pan, who was giving a speech to a large group of reporters in a fierce manner. People who don't know thought he was going to run for US president.

Behind him were enthusiastic fans watching the red carpet.

And further away, those who were blocked by security guards were parades holding anti-war slogans.

Chen Tianshu shrugged, "Sir Witch, have you only predicted these things? Can you also predict the award tonight?"

Natalie glared at him, "In Chinese, that's 'no chance', I'm here to run away."

Chen Tian smiled, "Okay, I'm here to run with you too. For you, nomination is equivalent to victory. The next time the host will broadcast, Natalie, nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress twice, then the hope will be much greater."

"Hmm." The little girl raised her head proudly, "I think there will be such a day."

Steve Martin, who served as the host of the Oscars for the second time, still maintained his humorous style: "I am very happy to see that the organizers lowered the standards of this awards ceremony, and even the traditional red carpet has been cancelled. If you don't know, I will bring you this message."

Regarding Nicole Kidman's outstanding performance, he also made fun of it: "Nicole Kidman has never used a fake nose in the movies he has appeared in before, so this time "Fiction Life" brought her good luck. Nicole, your fake nose looks good!"

The winner of the last Academy Award for Best Actress Harry Berry sat in the front row, and Martin used to joke with the stars: "Harry Berry was sitting there, and I was about 22 feet away from her, which should be the closest distance stipulated by law." A burst of laughter was heard from the audience, because Harry Berry was very upset with paparazzi recently. The Los Angeles court declared that a reporter named Franco must be prohibited from appearing next to her.

Then he joked about himself, "This is my second time hosting an Oscars. It makes me feel like I'm dating another lover, which makes me extremely excited."

But Steve Martin was so funny and funny that he couldn't make the audience in front of the TV excited.

When the winner of the Best Documentary went on stage to receive the award, he did not make his own speech on winning, but suddenly scolded Bush for being "shameless". His move instead won the applause of many celebrities in the audience.

Unfortunately, the winners all wanted to express their political views, which made the audience sitting in the audience feel worried about this Oscar.

For example, Adrian Brody and Michael Moore took this opportunity to call for opposition to the invasion of Irak. The documentary filmmaker (also winner of the next Oscar for Best Documentary) filmed a short film to be screened at the ceremony. The short film recorded 100 celebrities' discussions on the film, from Laura Wales Bush, Gorbachev to Iggy Pop (godfather of punk music), Lou Reed (lou reed, rock music celebrity), Kenneth Joseph Arrow (1972 Nobel Prize winner in Economics) to Morris's own son Hamilton.

"It's really enough. My dear, don't say this when you receive the award later." Kate sat beside him in a beautiful dress, and told Chen Tiandu a little annoyedly.

"Don't worry, I may not have the chance to go on stage." He patted Kate's hand, and Natalie on the other side rolled her eyes.

In the past, the beautiful and handsome men competed for beauty and beauty, and the most fashionable ornaments were peace brooches, and the numerous black evening dresses also set a solemn tone for the evening party.

Of course, Oscars are a grand event in the entertainment industry after all, so when pregnant Zeta Jones went on stage with a big belly, when the ruffian Eminem was talking and singing, and when the bizarre images appeared on the screen again, everyone had forgotten the war for a while.

"Chicago" won six awards including Best Picture, Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Director, Best Costume Design, Best Sound Effect, Best Movie Editing, and other awards.

The best animated feature film was taken away by "Spirited Away" which sets a box office record in Japan.

The anti-war theme "Pianist" was unexpectedly popular and became the biggest dark horse of this year. Even the best director nominated by Chen Tian was ruined and awarded it to Polansky, director of "Pianist".

But before, the immoral scandal about him 26 years ago was hyped up by the media for a while, and it was well known. In the end, the police were alarmed and threatened that if he came to attend the award ceremony, he would arrest him.

Although "Pianographer" has been recognized by many top international awards including the Palme d'Oscars in Cannes, the British Oscars, and the French Caesar, even Polansky himself is worried about the Oscar nomination and has almost no hope.

Now, "Pianoist" is a big upset, and local American media can only express their confusion and doubts by using "very surprising". In addition to being shocked, everyone speculated about the original intention of the judges. Some critics believe that Oscar has always liked to go against media comments, "The more you say anything, the less I am."

This time, I am afraid that it was because of the excuse that "art and character are two different things" to restore Polansky's innocence in the selection.
