As in the past few years, the 86th Academy Awards ceremony was still held in the Highland Center of Hollywood, that is, the Dolby theater, which was renamed the year before last. However, different from previous years, after the announcement of the nomination list of this year's Academy Awards, all the cast members who participated in the Oscar competition were much quieter than in previous years. Even Harvey Weinstein and Murphy, who were very thick skinned and had special means, had a good reputation Many people are no exception.
The reason is very simple. The Academy of film arts and Sciences seems to want to rectify the public relations order of Oscar. After the announcement of the nomination list, the director made a warning to others.
《 Alone.Yet.Not Bruce Broughton, the producer of the song "alone", has been found by the Academy of film arts and Sciences to have violated the public relations rules of the Oscars and is forbidden to participate in the Oscars!
According to the Academy's announcement, Bruce Broughton solicited votes from the Academy judges through e-mail, calling on them to "pay attention to this work". The Academy ruled that Bruce Broughton violated the voting rules and therefore canceled his nomination for the best original song award.
Bruce Broughton is not an important person, but the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has undoubtedly shown its attitude. The contestants including "dark city" have been quiet since then, and no one wants to touch the bad luck of the Academy at this time.
This is one of the most eye-catching things before the award ceremony, and the other is whether the rain will stop in Los Angeles.
The weather is unpredictable. With more than ten hours to go, the 86th Academy Awards ceremony is about to officially start, the rainstorm and temperature in Los Angeles begin to drop suddenly.
Every spring is the rainy season in Los Angeles. In the past, the Oscars did not experience any rain. It's just that it rained so heavily this year that even the red carpet was affected.
Although the staff carried out waterproof measures in time and set up a rain shelter, the red carpet paved in advance at the door of Dolby theater was soaked in rain.
Of course, the red carpet show will not be cancelled because of the rain, but it is likely to be affected by the weather and affect the effect of taking photos and interviewing.
According to the weather department, the bad weather will last until the night of the Oscars ceremony, and the temperature will become very low.
As long as we have money, it is not difficult to solve the problems caused by rain.
In just one night and one morning, all the soaked red carpets were replaced with new ones, and the inside and outside were covered with plastic cloth, drainage channels were added, and the staff kept monitoring the rain and the drainage situation on the site, and they would remove water with tools in time.
In addition, the college also expanded the area of the canopy, and even covered up the driveway.
It's not uncommon for the Oscar red carpet show to encounter bad weather. The stars and the organizers are very experienced. The rainstorm is really a test. There's too much rain. There's no panacea to deal with such an emergency, but it won't delay the Hollywood stars to walk on the red carpet.
The red carpet show of the 86th Academy Awards ceremony began in the heavy rain and low temperature.
But most of the stars have already chosen the shape and clothing, which will not change.
For example, Emma Watson, who is walking in front of Murphy, is wearing Vivian Wang's evening dress made of high set perspective tights. The dress is thin and transparent, and it looks really beautiful.
"Estimate..." Gail gado took Murphy's hand and controlled his speed slightly. "Emma wanted to fight back the attacks of those people and the media."
Murphy nodded. "It's possible."
In his contacts, Emma Watson is a girl with a lot of personality. Some people and the media criticized that her breast opening is false feminism. She simply chose a perspective dress on such a very important occasion as a response to those attacks.
Compared with the red carpet in the past, Murphy doesn't walk fast. He can feel Gail gado's meaning. After all, the people in front of him can be regarded as friends. If they walk too fast and catch up, Emma Watson will be embarrassed.
Murphy and Gail gado walked slowly over the carpet and waved to the fans on both sides. There was a torrential rain on the top of their heads, falling on the rain shelter. The sound made him unable to hear what the fans were shouting.
But many people hold up his posters, and Murphy smiles back at them.
"Traitor!"
Daisy stood among the fans on the left side of the red carpet, looking at Murphy's familiar face. A cold light flashed in her eyes. "Damn traitor!"
Although she thought so in her heart, she did nothing but watch the two men enter the media interview area in front of the Dolby theater.
Dobby theater and the whole avenue of stars are full of police. If something happens, she can't run away. Even if she doesn't care about it, she can't do anything. After three security procedures, guns and other weapons can't be brought in.
"Director Stanton, the Academy once again refused to set up the best stunt Award for the Oscars. What do you think?"
In the interview area, Murphy was being interviewed by a reporter. Hearing this question, he thought a little and replied, "we can't ignore the contribution of stunt actors to the industry. They deserve to be rewarded."It has been proposed to set up special effects awards for many years, but it is not easy for the conservative academy to recognize special effects actors. Although the academy has made many reforms on Oscar this year, it once again refused to set up special effects related Oscar Awards.
The reform of the college is mainly aimed at the existing awards.
As early as last year, the Academy of film arts and sciences made several changes to the evaluation criteria, the most important of which is the restriction on the number of actors to be declared for each film and the relaxation of the selection criteria for the best picture candidate producer.
In terms of the best actor declaration, the new rules changed by the college limit that each film can only declare 20 actors and 20 actresses to participate in the best actor category.
In the past, the producer or distributor could list all the actors in the film.
The purpose of this change is to simplify the list of candidates provided by the annual selection premise to the judges, and further avoid the trouble caused by the too complicated list. Whether the actors who apply for the list will participate in the best actor award or supporting actor award is still up to the applicant.
In addition, the 40 candidates under the new rules can be any actor participating in the film, and the producer or distributor does not need to decide according to the cast ranking.
In terms of best picture awards, the main selection criteria have not changed much. The Academy will select three or less of the best picture producers as the nominators, and reserve the right to add a fourth nominator according to the situation, so that the possible fourth person will be elected.
If a producer appears as a team, in the past, the academy only admitted that members of the production team who have worked together for more than five years and produced at least five feature films become candidates for the best picture award.
Today, the standard is relaxed to include only two feature films.
The rules of other awards are also slightly adjusted based on linguistic semantics. Another notable change is the best original song award. In the future, the college will allow the candidates of the best original song to appear in groups, and the winners will only receive a small gold medal in the name of the team.
After simply answering the reporter's questions, Murphy declined the following interview, holding Gail gado, ready to enter the Dolby theater.
At this time, a sudden cry came from behind. The sound was so loud that even the sound of the rainstorm falling on the rainproof shed was suppressed.
Murphy looked back. Close to the media coverage area, Jennifer Lawrence fell down on the red carpet, which not only caused the fans to scream, but also turned the camera lens of the media reporter.
"We're going to make headlines again." Gail gado shook his head. "If I remember correctly, this is the fourth time I've fallen on the awards or the red carpet."
Murphy smiles, turns around and pulls Gail gado into the Dolby theater.
It's also a good way to make entertainment headlines when there's no chance of winning an important award.
The Archbishop of Marquez Costello in Santa Monica Beach District finished his day's work and looked up at the wall clock. It seemed that it was about to start.
He told the assistant standing by, "go and turn on the TV."
The assistant is very strange. It's not evening news time yet. Why does the Archbishop suddenly want to watch TV?
He turned on the TV, and the Archbishop of Marquez Costello in the back said, "change to ABC!"
After taking the remote control, the assistant switches to ABC TV station, and then sees Oscar live.
"So it is." He turned to peep at Archbishop Marquez Costello and muttered, "do you want to see Murphy Stanton?"
Now who doesn't know that Murphy Stanton is very embarrassing to the archbishop. A few days ago, the Pope himself called and severely reprimanded the archbishop. At that time, he was in this office and could hear words like incompetence and failure
This does not bode well for an archbishop.
The assistant thinks that the Archbishop of Marquez Costello may not be in the Diocese of central and South California for a long time
In the Dolby theatre, Murphy and Gail gado, led by the staff, walk into the VIP lounge of the theatre, where they add a group of friends.
When the stantons got together, Margot Robbie asked, "how many golden men can we get tonight?"
Murphy shrugged. "The more the better, of course."
"Not the more the better!" Robert Downey, Jr. said seriously, "we're going to take all the 13 nominees!"
Everyone began to laugh.
Just a few words of joking, Gail gado suddenly pulled Murphy's arm and reminded him, "Leonardo DiCaprio is coming."
