Chapter 743 The Most Important

Oscar, the ultimate party of the year for the Hollywood film industry.

It may be postponed and may cause controversy, but it will never be absent.

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

Every Oscar ceremony is always accompanied by various noises.

Of course, this session will be no exception.

The groups of the Equal Rights Movement and the Black Movement occupied the best position at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Avenue early, conveying their ideas to the world.

There were also some radicals who lit candles to commemorate the victim in Atlanta, not far from the Kodak Theater.

The Los Angeles police were facing a big enemy, fearing that they would cause an out of control.

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

The current social situation has a huge impact on the Oscars.

These are not only reflected in the award selection, but also the stars with a keen sense of smell have prepared themselves in their outfits early.

For example, black dresses are particularly popular in this year. Not only black movie stars like Will Smith and Halle Berry appear in a solemn black image, such as Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron, Brad Pitt, etc. More than half of the guests walked on the red carpet and were dressed in black or dark colors.

Hollywood stars are very fucked in many things, but their sense of smell is often extremely sensitive.

This time, the black wave was surging and its momentum was unprecedentedly strong. It was also the most nominated blacks in the Oscars ever.

Correspondingly, this has laid a tone for this year's Oscars.

Even the hosts of this Academy Awards ceremony were black comedy star Chris Rock.

Throughout the history of the Oscars, the award seems to be only related to white movie stars most of the time, with blacks only accounting for three percent of the nominations.

This is true in the performance industry, and the technical jobs behind the scenes are the same.

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

In Hollywood, there are even fewer black directors and black producers.

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

Ronan entered the Kodak Theater in black formal attire. Instead of going to the hall immediately, he chatted with Harvey Weinstein he met for a while.

"This time, you're going to have a good harvest." Harvey Weinstein said with his big head shaking: "How many are you sure?"

Luo Nan shrugged slightly: "Who can guarantee it until the end?"

According to his wishes, of course, it is best to take all the nominated Little Golden Men, but this is obviously impossible.

Harvey Weinstein said: "This time, Miramax is going to return empty-handed."

There are not many nominations directly related to Miramax.

The fat man was very polite in front of him, and Ronan said politely: "This is because Disney has dragged you down."

Hearing Disney, Harvey Weinstein could only sigh: "It's not a solution to continue."

"Do you have other ideas?" Ronan deliberately looked curious: "Do you have any good ideas?"

Harvey Weinstein said with a smile: "Where is a good idea? I'm always pressed by Disney. I feel a little depressed, like I can't breathe."

"It will always pass." Ronan said a lie that he didn't believe even himself.

Harvey Weinstein glanced at Ronan: "It's a pity that Miramax does not have the strength of Relativity Entertainment, otherwise I would bite Michael Eisner hard."

Ronan smiled: "It's hard to say about this kind of thing."

Harvey Weinstein invited Ronan into the hall together. The two walked out not far and met the Zhang Baimao and Director Zhang. The two politely shook hands and greeted Ronan, but ignored Harvey Weinstein.

This is also the result of Harvey Weinstein buying copyrights and using tricks.

Compared to this fat man, Ronan is definitely the kind of person who abides by the rules.

Although "The Horizontal" has a bad box office in North America, it is not that it is particularly bad. Lionsgate Film wants to recover its investment through offline operations and also applied for an Oscar for this film.

After "Hero", Director Zhang won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.

At the same time, the film also received a nomination for Best Photography.

The most praised thing about "The Haze" is also photography. Some media in North America even say that the film's directorial level has seriously dragged down photography...

It is very difficult to win this film, just talk about the Best Foreign Language Film Awards. In terms of subject matter and content, the familiarity of the Oscar judges is not even comparable to "Epitaph Storm".

After entering the main hall, Ronan found the crew of "When Happiness Comes Knocks" and sat with Will Smith.

"Are you nervous?" Ronan glanced at him, Will Smith kept shaking his legs.

Will Smith said frankly: "Of course I'm nervous. After doing so much effort, success or failure will be tonight. People will be nervous."

"It's useless to be nervous." Ronan said deliberately: "The award results have come out. We still have a chance to find someone to kill the two big bosses of PwC."

Will Smith rubbed his face and said, "I'm much better." He asked, "Have you paid back the money you invested in "When Happiness Comes Knocks"?"

Ronan understood what Will Smith meant and said, "Don't worry, I've already made a comeback."

The four films of Relativity Entertainment's Ao have already recovered their costs.

Now, "When Happiness Comes Knocks" has been released for 12 weeks, with a total box office of US$210.23 million in North America.

Although the film is still released in North America due to the Oscars, the box office market consumes almost the same amount. If Will Smith can win the Best Actor, she might be able to make another shot.

The North American box office of "The Diary of the Emperor Penguin", which was nominated for the best documentary, had a box office of nearly $75 million, which is the documentary with a box office record in the North American film market that has been second only to "Fat 911" in history.

Due to the subject matter and content, "Fahrenheit 911" did not receive any Oscar nominations, but it has gained a lot at the Golden Plum Awards.

Xiaodai beat Colin Farrell, who had a disaster-level performance in "Alexander the Great", and successfully won the Golden Raspberry Award for Best Actor.

In terms of film awards, Xiao is not already successfully surpassing all US presidents.

The biggest news about this year's Golden Plum is not that it is that the Best Actress of the Oscar at the last Oscar, Halle Berry won the Best Actress Award for the Best Actress of the Golden Plum in person.

The film "Catwoman" directly lowered Halle Berry's career to a higher level.

The Oscar spell was fulfilled again.

Also a film that has not invested much resources, "Epitaph Storm" performed much worse. The scale of screenings in North America has never exceeded 400, and the box office in North America has just reached $9 million.

Fortunately, Embassy Film has always been very rational and has always controlled the investment scale of "Epitaka Storm". Most of the copies were shipped from the UK after they were removed from the UK.

Although "Crash" is also niche, it ultimately involves the Americans. After winning multiple Oscar nominations, the market performance has improved a lot. 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 considerable profits.

Similar to "When Happiness Comes Knocking the Door", heavyweight Oscars can also become a booster for "Crash" to enter the overseas market.

Over time, more and more people are entering Kodak Theater, including popular seed contestants like "Million Dollar Baby".

Clint Eastwood also nominated for Best Actor, and there is also a possibility of uproar.

As for the crew of "The Aviator" led by Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, it is relatively quiet, and the main creative team of the crew has also realized the fate of being able to accompany him.

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

Many film critics Martin Scorsese are even too ugly to see in order to win the Oscar.

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

Perhaps this year's Oscar Organizing Committee has taken into account the current social situation and specially selected a black comedy star like Chris Locke as the host.

Chris Locke made a joke and tried his best to constantly clarify the position of this year's Oscar.

If it were the opposite Pacific Ocean, the atmosphere of the Oscars tonight was the most suitable for this to describe - we black people, I am so happy today...

Some things are very obvious, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that the School of Film Arts and Sciences takes great pains to ensure various balances with the goal of being as politically correct as possible.

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

Those who win Oscars with the art of film alone and who still have this idea today can only be said to be too simple and too naive.

Tonight, Oscars made the black brothers feel that they stood up the most important thing!

Therefore, the first award presented at this Academy Awards Ceremony, which is the best supporting actor, set the tone for the entire awards ceremony.

"The one who won the Best Supporting Actor is..." The last Best Supporting Actress Scarlett Johnson announced: "Morgan Freeman, "Million Dollar Baby."

In an instant, extremely warm applause rang out from the audience, as if this was not a victory of film art, but a victory of social progress!

Morgan Freeman took the stage to receive the award. After thanking him on a routine basis, he shouted loudly: "Hollywood continues to make history, and Hollywood is progressing with the world! I hope that one day, the race and skin color of the actors will no longer be the characteristics mentioned!"

The applause became even more intense.

Then, the technical award began to be awarded, and it was time for "The Aviator".
Chapter completed!
