Rebirth In Hollywood

Los Angeles, which is always sunny, started to drizzle on the 24th, but this did not affect the interest of the stars on the red carpet.

For the rainy weather, the Oscar awarding organization seems to have been prepared for a long time, putting up a white canopy to protect the stars on the red carpet, and for Hollywood, which has just experienced a screenwriter strike, this wind and rain is really nothing.

The bleachers and streets around the Kodak Theater were packed with thousands of fans. The first stars to step on the red carpet included George C. Rooney, as well as German supermodel Heidi Klum and her black singer husband Hill.

Renee Zellweger, wearing a backless evening dress, caused fans to scream; Cate Blanchett, wearing a huge and dazzling necklace, walked slowly on the red carpet; Harrison Ford, Penelope Stars such as Cruz and Hilary Swank also stepped on the red carpet and entered the Kodak Theater.

The more than two-month-long Hollywood screenwriter strike once made people worry about whether the 80th Academy Awards ceremony could be held as scheduled. Now that the strike has ended and the suspense has been eliminated, the Oscars ceremony has been a blessing in disguise. People are more interested in watching live broadcasts. Continuously set new highs.

As the broadcaster, the TV station has surpassed 100 million US dollars in Oscar advertising revenue for the first time, and it seems that the writers' strike has increased everyone's interest in this year's Oscars ceremony.

At all major awards ceremonies, the male stars are all black and old-fashioned, with nothing new or interesting.

Therefore, the important task of attracting attention on the red carpet naturally falls on the shoulders of female stars. Hollywood is full of stars today, and a group of female stars who are well-dressed and brave, spare no effort to show off their sex appeal and nobility, and selling sex is no longer limited to low-cut breasts. Back, slanted shoulders, slits, perspective and even retro...the tricks are endless.

Just like male stars, black has always been the insurance choice for female stars at award shows. The calm temperament exuded by black can be interpreted as mysterious, sexy, or noble, and there are few mistakes.

But this year's Oscars ceremony, the female stars seem to have made an agreement, a large number of people transferred to the red camp, and all of them chose bright red, the newly rising Anne Hathaway, the last actress Helen Mi Lun and the retro beauty Katherine Heigl, no matter the veteran acting school or the youth idol. They all have a special liking for bright red, and bring fire-like enthusiasm to Oscar, which has always been noble and classic.

Just look at the flickering frequency of the spotlights to know how powerful their heat is.

However, even more enthusiastic than them were the tens of thousands of people who gathered on Highland Boulevard and Hollywood Boulevard. They held up the slogans—opposing Iran’s censorship of Hollywood and supporting freedom of speech in Hollywood—and shouting from time to time. The voices of the fans on the red carpet were silenced.

No wonder these liberals are so excited, just yesterday. The Iranian government once again issued an attack against Hollywood, believing that "I grew up in Iran" was nominated for the best animated feature film and "A Separation" was nominated for the best foreign language film. It is Hollywood's ulterior motive and it is an insult to the people of Iran. . Regardless of the final award result, Iran will lodge a solemn protest.

At the same time, they also claimed that Hollywood has been completely occupied by Jewish forces. This is the Zionist war against Iran.

In the midst of the protests of the liberals against Iran. Marion Cotillard walked the red carpet, and although she was thrilled to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actress, it was a sight to see. The mood couldn't stop getting worse.

In the previous series of important awards, she almost lost to Natalie Portman, but she also won many Film Critics Association awards. She knew that the other party and Disney behind it had a poor relationship with film critics, and film critics She still has some influence on the old Oscar judges, so she might be upset.

But now?

Those damn Iranians keep attacking the Jewish forces in Hollywood, which is basically cutting off their own hopes of winning awards.

Although she is French and does not know much about Hollywood, Marion Cotillard also understands that the essence of the Oscars is not much different from the Cannes Film Festival, and it will definitely be affected by the social and political situation.

According to her speculation, I am afraid that the four most important awards will all fall on Jewish people.

After casually saying a few words in the interview area, she walked into the Kodak Theater, and at the suggestion of the agent who came up, she greeted the people around her, including Ryan Jenkins.

He was not enthusiastic about himself, just shook hands and nodded politely, without even a smile, but Marion Cotillard couldn't express any dissatisfaction. Her status and status were too different from the other party's. , I am no different from those little unknown actors.

Then, she saw Natalie Portman, the favorite of this year's Oscar for Best Actress. The other party's smile was extraordinarily bright, just like the sunshine in Los Angeles yesterday. She did have reason to be so happy. The main character's statuette is almost at your fingertips.

In her opinion, it is impossible for this award to be an upset. Jewish identity and Ryan Jenkins' full support are almost the biggest guarantees for winning.

Marion Cotillard was very unwilling, she thought that she would never lose to the other party in terms of acting skills.

However, the difference in other aspects is too far, too far, to win awards only for acting skills and roles? She's not that naive yet.

There is also the social situation, and Natalie is completely the beneficiary.

Thinking of this, she suddenly looked in the direction of Ryan Jenkins, and a thought jumped out of her mind.

Could all this be planned by the other party? In order to get the most favorable situation for Natalie Portman, after all, Iran is world-renowned for its hostility to Jews. After all, he and his movies are the biggest beneficiaries. After all, he has persecuted Iran when operating "Argo" things.

If this is the case, his means...

Shaking her head, Marion Cotillard made up her mind not to offend anyone who has a close relationship with Disney no matter what.

She even strode up to Natalie Portman and sent her best wishes with a spring-like smile.

"What did she tell you?"

When he walked up to Natalie, Ryan happened to see the French woman who was leaving, "Could it be that she came to fight?"

It's no wonder he thinks this way, if female stars really want to compete, the means and intentions are much more sinister than male stars.

"Nothing." Natalie shook her head at him, "I just came to say hello."

"Nate, it's almost time."

Mrs. Shelley on the other side came over and pulled Natalie up, "We should go in."

Natalie sighed helplessly at Ryan, and Ryan waved at her, and together with Harvey Weinstein who followed behind, walked towards the hall of the theater.

"Nothing to worry about."

No one else was around, and Harvey Weinstein whispered as he walked, "I've got the exact information that Nat has a huge advantage."

"What about Miramax?" Ryan asked.

"We are the most competitive company." Harvey Weinstein laughed, "With such a favorable socio-political situation, if we don't win a few heavyweight awards, then Miramax should really go bankrupt. "

"I don't want the investment to go to waste."

Seeing someone approaching again, Ryan changed the subject, "In the future, do a good job of network protection. If there is such a thing for the first time, there will be a second time."

"I see."

Entering the hall, Ryan nodded to the people who greeted him, and found his seat. His seat was not in the front, and he was not on the border with the "Black Swan" crew. Instead, he sat with Harvey Weinstein, a big fat man. together.

Not far ahead was the seat of the "Black Swan" crew. Natalie greeted the people around her, and after she sat down, she began to look around.

"Nate..."

Scarlett Johansson, who came in a little earlier than her, asked curiously, "What are you looking at?"

"It's nothing." Natalie finally saw Ryan's position, and turned around with peace of mind, "Scarlett, are you ready for your acceptance speech?"

"Not very prepared." Scarlett shrugged. "You know, I'm leaning towards business now, and those people may not vote."

"Ryan and Disney did PR for you too."

Hearing Natalie's words, Scarlett just smiled, but said nothing more. It is impossible to say that she is not jealous at all, but the friendship of more than ten years is enough to suppress this negative emotion.

Besides, I am four years younger than Nat, and I still have plenty of time.

Best Supporting Actress, even if Ryan and Disney have done a lot of public relations for her, but under the premise that Natalie is guaranteed to win, how likely is she to get it?

"Why didn't Ryan sit with the crew?" She suddenly found that Ryan was not nearby.

"It's in the back."

Natalie pointed casually, and her eyes drifted to her mother unconsciously. Ryan stayed away from the crew, presumably also avoiding her mother, so as to reduce the possibility of intensifying conflicts.

Sighing secretly, she was the hardest person in the middle, but fortunately, after the award ceremony, my mother will return to New York, and everything will return to normal.

"Nate."

My mother's voice came from my ear, "How would you like me to be your manager?"

Natalie had the urge to rub her forehead, but luckily when the music started, she hurriedly said, "Mom, the awards ceremony is about to begin."

After a brief preamble, Jon Stewart, the host of The Daily Show, took to the stage and started by talking about the just-concluded Hollywood screenwriters' strike.

He said in a joking tone, "The past two months have been difficult. The bitter writers' strike has torn Hollywood apart. I'm happy that this fight is over."

Oscar officially ushered in its 80th birthday, and the 80th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off. (To be continued..)
