v2 Chapter 497： War begins

Every year after the Oscar nominations are announced, the most fascinating topic is who will be the final winner. The media, forecasting agencies, and many movie fans all have their own hearts and look forward to the time when the envelope is opened soon.

If the audience is interested enough, they can even participate in online predictions and sweepstakes on the Oscar’s official website. If luck is comparable to the winner of the Goldman, the big prize waiting for them will be a 37-inch wall-mounted plasma TV provided by Sony .

How can we predict accurately? Of course, you have to listen to the opinions of experts. In the major media on the day of the Oscars, various predictions have appeared, but the predictions of the winners of the main awards are surprisingly similar-the best film and the director are undoubtedly 3: The Return of the King and the film’s director Duke Rosenberg; the best actor and actress will still be Shaun Penn and Charles Theron, who have already won the awards season, and the best supporting actor and actress award Will be awarded to Tim Robbins and Renee Zellweger respectively.

Some media even claim that this is the most suspenseful Oscars, and the disappearance of the suspense will be somewhat boring.

But some people don't think so, such as Roger Albert.

According to the live broadcast practice of abc TV station, Roger Albert will always appear on the live broadcast + before the awards ceremony, on the program "Oscar Night: Guest Admission".

"This is abc TV station, and the highly anticipated 76th Oscars ceremony is about to kick off."

Located in the studio of the abc TV station in Burbank, the hosts Rope and Roger Albert are sitting in front of the live camera and are commenting on this awards ceremony. "I am Rope and I am very honored to be with you again. Spend an unforgettable night, as in the past. We invited the famous film critic Roger Albert as the guest of the show..."

The two chatted a few words at random, and the topic turned to the prediction link that the audience cared most before the award ceremony.

"Roger, the major media in the past few days have given their own predictions, and the general results have been consistent. The media basically thinks this is an Oscars ceremony that lacks suspense. What do you think?"

"I agree with the media in terms of performance awards." Roger Albert is the same as ever. In front of the public and the media, he always looks personable, "But the best film and the best director, I don’t think it will fall on "The Return of the King" and Duke Rosenberg."

"Why?" Rope asked timely.

"It's very simple, because it has been almost ten years since purely commercial films won the Oscar heavyweight award."

Roger Albert’s words can be described as high-sounding, "Moreover, "Titanic" is also based on real events. There is no precedent in the history of Oscars that an unrealistic film won the best director and best film..."

At this point, his teeth seemed to be bitten. I did my best to maintain the peace in the words, "There was no in the past, there is no now, and there will not be a long time in the future!"

He has worked with most well-known film critics to do a lot of work during the awards season. Although he is a little uneasy in his heart, he still firmly believes that the treatment of "Saving Private Ryan" will be reproduced above the Oscar!

Even if it is to let "The Return of the King" take away the best film, they have to prevent Duke Rosenberg from winning the best director!

In the eyes of Roger Albert. This is a war, and the war has begun!

The Oscar has nearly 6,000 members. The final results of the awards simply cannot be changed with personal will. At this moment, there are only two people who know the results of the awards-PricewaterhouseCoopers partners Gligo Garrison and Rick Rosas.

They set off from the Los Angeles branch of PricewaterhouseCoopers and drove to the Kodak Theater from different directions and roads. They each carried a copy of the final result, so as to avoid traffic jams and other accidents causing the winners to not arrive in time.

It's just that this Oscars ceremony is different from the past. Grigo Garrison and Rick Rosas have strengthened their security forces.

On the eve of the awards ceremony, the CIA received a piece of intelligence that said this Oscars ceremony had become a target of al-Qaeda attacks, for the United States, which had just experienced the 911 incident. No matter how much attention is paid to the security of the Oscar site, it is not too much.

The Oscars are a good holiday for Hollywood. Even in the face of the threat of terrorism, it is inevitable to be a big deal, and this Hollywood masterpiece has always been made with a thick US dollar.

A few days ago, the giant golden statue at the entrance of the Kodak Theater was hoisted. After the extraordinary "Mr. Oscar" was in place, the construction of the red carpet area was completed, especially the 600-foot-long red carpet. It is a key occasion for celebrities to show their demeanor.

At the starting point of the red carpet, a giant tent covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters was also erected. After the celebrity guests attending the awards ceremony arrived by car, they would pause in the tent, and then step onto the red carpet and enter In the Kodak Theater, the filming area on the side of the red carpet for the media is also huge. Since February is the rainy season in Los Angeles, the organizing committee has planned for a rainy day and designed a ceiling for all the viewing platforms and filming areas in advance.

Just after noon, a helicopter hovered over Hollywood, and a cordon was pulled up on the streets. The Kodak Theater, the place where the Oscars were held, was defending as much as possible in terms of technology and manpower.

In order to ensure order, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors, and a police officer in every corner. Even fans who sit in the bleachers and watch the stars on the Avenue of Stars will be watched closely.

The live broadcast of this year’s Oscars also caused some controversy. Because of the scene of Justin Dingblake and Jennifer Jackson during the 38th Super Bowl halftime performance, ABC TV had to take five seconds to the live broadcast. The delay ensures that no vulgar content will be broadcast live.

After three in the afternoon, Duke and Ivanka drove to the intersection of Hollywood Boulevard and Highland Boulevard. Under the guidance of a staff member, they walked into the big tent. There were hundreds of celebrities and celebrities waiting here. The red carpet ceremony officially began.

"Hi, Duke. Hi. Evie."

Duke had just chosen a quiet place, and someone came over to say hello. Charlize Theron, wearing a silver-white fishtail suspender evening dress, waved to the two enthusiastically.

"Hello. Sally." Duke nodded to her.

Ivanka shook her stretched hand lightly, and said with a polite smile. "Congratulations, Sally."

"The result has not come out yet..."

Charlize also said politely, then turned his eyes to Duke, not knowing whether it was intentional or unintentional, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Duke."

As she said, she didn't care if Ivanka was beside her, leaning to Duke's ear, seeming to lower her voice. But in words Ivanka could hear, he said mysteriously, "How can I thank you?"

Duke could feel Ivanka's hand tightening his arm slightly, leaning back a little later, and pulling away from Charlize, before he said, "Have I done anything? It's your own choice, Sha Li."

"Duke is right..."

at this time. Another blonde woman walked over, and she took the initiative to speak. "This year is Charlize's lucky year."

After Naomi Watts finished speaking, she pulled her boyfriend around and introduced, "Duke, Evie, Charlize. This is Heath Ledger, like me, an actor from Australia."

"Hello, Director Rosenberg."

This little actor who is not even a second-line actor now stretched out his hand. Duke nodded at him and shook his hand lightly.

Three women in one scene, three blonde women get together, and in each other's words, they all face each other faintly. Duke doesn't care. Naomi Watts and Charlize Theron are long gone. .

But what Duke did not expect is that too many women here have had scandals with him, such as Cameron Diaz, Cate Blanchett, Shania Dunn, Catherine Zeta Jones, Alexandra Ambrosio and so on...

The most important thing is that these people came over and greeted him very affectionately. Duke could see Ivanka's eyes next to him, and he was somewhat unhappy.

Ivanka is really not very happy. Having heard of these women and seeing them with her own eyes, she feels completely different. From their attitude towards Duke, she can be sure that the scandal in the tabloid must be true.

Especially when these people greeted her with provocations that a woman could understand, she couldn't help but make some associations she shouldn't have.

But Duke will not be guilty. He is indeed not a good man. Since his official relationship with Ivanka, he has not done anything excessive, and cut off the previously chaotic private life.

Duke and Heath Ledger talked a few words, the two sides are likely to cooperate in the future, in his heart, the other side is indeed the best candidate to play the clown.

Of course, he wouldn't be so stupid as to remind him that in the Hollywood circle, the road is always chosen by himself.

The red carpet quickly kicked off, and some people stepped onto the red carpet leading to the Kodak Theater one after another. As a favorite of the awards, Duke played relatively late, so there is no need to worry.

And the red carpet is also a moment for actresses, even the thirteen-year-old "Whale Rider" heroine Keisha makes the cheers of the fans sitting in the stands even higher.

From her body, we can also see the political nature of the Oscars. This young actor has indeed performed well, but is she really worthy of the Oscar nomination for best actress than other stars? And now the United States needs the full support of the English-speaking friends in Iraq and Afghanistan!

As before, after Duke took Ivanka onto the red carpet, he just waved to the fan zone, then walked through the red carpet at a normal walking speed, entered the interview zone and said a few words, and walked into the Kodak Theater After meeting with Tina Fei’s mother, she quickly found a seat and sat down and waited for the award ceremony to begin.

This is the seating area of ​​"The Return of the King". Except for Duke and some members of the production team, none of the actors have walked in. They need more exposure than the director. (To be continued...)
