Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 1296 Hollywood and Highland Center

This year's Oscars were held at the Hollywood and Highland Center.Why is it not in the Kodak Theater anymore?You must know that the Oscars have used it as the only awards ceremony venue since 2001.

The reason is simple, that is, Kodak went bankrupt and had no money to pay a huge amount of naming rights.

It is really a lot of naming fees, 20 million U.S. dollars in 7400 years, and then 360 million a year alone.So in this year's Oscars, the name of the Kodak Theater will no longer appear, but will be changed to Hollywood and Highland Center.

But it doesn't matter, in May 2012, this theater will usher in a new owner, Dolby Experimental Company, and the theater will be changed to Dolby Theater.

This time it was still signed for 20 years, and by the way, Oscar was renewed for another 20 years.So until 2033, the Oscar awards ceremony will continue to be held in this theater.

This year's host is Billy Crystal, who is hosting for the 9th time.He is a very versatile actor who has served as a screenwriter, director, producer, etc., and he has done a great job.Because of the nature of his father's work, he has been very eloquent since he was young, and has participated in many talk shows.

At the beginning of the ceremony, he sang the ten films nominated for best picture this time into his own song.By the way, he also teased director Martin, thinking that the movies he produced this time are completely different from his previous ones.Everyone knows that director Martin is best at, and the most filmed are gangster-type dark films, and "Hugo", is it a fairy tale, okay?
There are ten films on the list of this year's best films, except for a few that were popular at the beginning, such as "The Artist", such as "The Descendants", such as "War Horse" and Lyra's "Silence", and There were a few movies on it that Laila didn't care about.

For the first time this year, the Oscars expanded the list of nominations to ten.It is said that they hope to promote more and better works.

As long as it is nominated for the Oscars, the popularity and sales of the film will be greatly improved. This is well known, otherwise, who would regard the Oscars as a grand event in the film industry?
I believe that in the past today, the ten nominated best films, as well as the films that appeared in other award lists, will have a straight-up profit.

The first awards to be handed out were for Best Cinematography, and Silence was on the list.Competing with it, it is no surprise that the names of "The Artist", "Hugo", and "War Horse" appeared, and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Tree of Life" followed closely.

Speaking of it, the first three names are almost visually exhausting.

Laila had only average feelings about the mime film The Artist.She prefers more advanced, progressive shoots to nostalgic black-and-white mimes.The times are advancing, and movies are also improving. If you stay where you are and don't move forward, how much will the charm of movies be lost?Is there anything else fans can look forward to?

It cannot be denied that the story of "The Artist" is interesting, but Laila feels that if the filming method is in line with the age, the filming may not be worse than that.

But if you think about it carefully, if you really lose the two elements of mime and black and white, maybe this movie will not be able to achieve the influence it has today.

art value?Do not make jokes!
At best, it's just selling a feeling.

But no one can say that he is wrong, no matter what he sells, if someone eats this set, he is the winner.Now it seems that not only the Oscars eat this set, but also a lot of awards in Hollywood, big and small, which makes this movie and "Hugo" directed by Martin evenly divided in the awards season.

"The winner is... "Hugo" Robert Richardson!"

There was a burst of applause from the audience, and there was an introduction to the photographer.The gray-haired man has been nominated for the 7th time, among which he has won 3 awards. It can be said that he has an absolute advantage compared with other candidates.

Laila frowned slightly as she reflected on her nomination.

The two films received 12 nominations, but that doesn't mean she can get a maximum of 12 trophies, because the best director and best editing overlap.

At this moment, the best photo was lost, which made her feel uncomfortable, as if her precious things had been snatched away by others.

She has great hopes for "Silence" this time. The 6 nominations may seem like a lot to others, but in her eyes they can only be regarded as barely good.She feels that her work should be more affirmed.Let's take photography as an example. The photographer she uses is also an Oscar-winning figure, and her performance this time is even more remarkable.But this deserved award was snatched away by others.

After losing the two most important awards from the Golden Globes, she doesn't seem to have too many negative emotions, but she has been secretly unhappy all the time.Holding back her energy, she wanted to win the honor of "Silence" at the more professional Oscars, but she ran away with the first award, which made her feel uncomfortable and depressed.

Then, as if confirming the ominous premonition in her heart, she successively lost the best sound effect, the best art direction, and even the best make-up, which she thought she was sure of, lost to "Iron Lady".

"Don't worry, we still have a chance." Roy has been paying attention to her. Seeing that she has been silent since just now, and her lips are tightly pressed, he knows that she must be very unhappy.

In his opinion, the award presentation this time is also a bit weird, as if he completely ignored "Silence" and kept chanting the names of other films.

"I know." Lyra smiled reluctantly.She didn't want him to worry about herself, but she really couldn't smile more brightly under the current situation. "Silence" is too important to her, and she needs it too much to get more trophies.But until now, she hasn't even got one in her hand!
"Best Original Screenplay goes to...Midnight in Paris!"

"..." Laila's heart instantly cooled down.

Why not her "Silence"? How does "Midnight in Paris" compare to her "Silence"?Obviously they get more attention and discussion, don't they?
But no one could answer her question.

She was anxious at the scene, and her fans were anxious in front of the TV.

Why hasn't Leila won an award yet?Did Oscar also bully her like the Golden Globes did?

Because she is young?Or is it because she is a woman?Or because he didn't want her to take away too many awards and embarrass the seniors, so he deliberately suppressed her?
It's just too infuriating!

If this is still the case, these fans will definitely use their own methods to protest the injustice of the Oscars!
