In fact, Teddy Bell's assessment of his brother's group is really not wrong, because Evan Bell just went home for a quick dinner and then ran to the studio again. Teddy Bell remembered that Evan Bell had planned to continue post-production on "There Will Be Blood" at night, but now he was hooked by the music. And Ryan Ted and the others didn't feel comfortable eating, so they pulled Adam Levy's group back and ordered pizza to eat in the recording studio. A large group of people worked in the recording studio all night.

All night. It was already five o'clock in the morning when Evan Bell came home, and was pulled by Catherine Bell, who got up early, to drink a glass of warm milk before going to sleep.

Evan Bell's passion for music has not changed over the years. Although he has achieved a height in the music field that makes everyone jealous, he does not feel that he will lack motivation at all, because he is obsessed with Music has never been for sales, awards, or fame, but simply love music.

Therefore, the purest joy of being immersed in music will never disappear.

Led by Evan Bell, Ryan Tedder, Adam Levy, Bruno Mars all joined the frenzy in high spirits, Adele Adkins and Katy Perry These two little girls, who have been busy with publicity since Taylor Swift released the album, have become the new red flowers of Eleven Music, and it is rare to experience that kind of pure madness.

When Teddy Bell got up at 8:00 in the morning, standing on the balcony, he saw Bruno Mars, Ryan Ted and Adele Adkins, Katy Perry, elated and dancing, watching them The direction of progress should be to just leave the recording studio and prepare to go back to the apartment to rest. Teddy Bell couldn't help laughing.

June in New York is still not hot. Although the sun can be seen before 6 in the morning, the sunshine always has a cool feeling in this reinforced forest, and June in Los Angeles has made people sweaty and become a forest. The palm trees can't resist the penetration of the sun, so that the city of Angels is filled with a kind of midsummer sultry.

The American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced on June 18, local time, the complete list of 115 filmmakers who were selected as new members this year-that is, they were elected as Oscar judges, and they could also join the Academy. The 6,000-strong jury cast their votes for the Oscar winners each year.

In fact, every year the academy draws in a group of new judges, not only to reward these artists for their contributions in their respective fields, but also to allow more professionals to join the Oscar selection, striving to keep the fresh blood of the academy up-to-date with the times. Of course, every year, a small number of judges will drop out of the academy and upgrade their honors, so it is necessary to add new judges.

However, it is not that simple to be shortlisted for the academy judges. Although the threshold has dropped in recent years, a small number of singers have even been absorbed—singers who have very little relationship with the film field have entered the judges lineup to enrich the composition of the judges. That said, it still maintains a high standard. Especially the classification of judges, the standard is as strict as ever.

In the Oscar selection, voting is divided into two stages, the nomination stage and the award stage.

During the nomination stage, all cadet members are eligible to nominate for Best Picture, while in other awards, nominees are voted on by members of the Academy working in the sector. To put it simply, in the nomination stage, a member who joins the Academy as an actor can cast votes for five divisions, leading actor, supporting actor, actress, supporting actress and best picture, while a member who joins the academy as a director can vote Members can only vote for Best Director and Best Picture.

In the awarding stage, all members have the right to vote for all awards, except for documentaries, foreign language films and short films - documentary short films, live action short films and animated short films, which must be selected by those who have seen all nominated films in cinemas to vote. The Academy reflects this when designing the ballots, because the ballots sent to regular members do not include these five items. To vote for these five departments, you must first go to the designated screening venue to watch all the nominated films, and then Pick up ballots at the cinema and cast them in the ballot boxes located in the cinema.

In other words, except for those five departments, all other awards are available to everyone. Of course, being able to vote does not mean that you will vote. Generally, the more professional the awards are, the fewer people will vote. Many non-professional members will deliberately vacate these awards and not vote, while members of related majors will definitely vote, so naturally The result of the attribution of the award is cast by the relevant professional members.

Judging from the fact that artists show their votes every year, basically everyone votes for the eight major awards for films, directors, performances and scripts, and then there are relatively more awards in the art category, and very few people vote in the sound effects and visual awards in the technical category. , the editing awards will be relatively better. In fact, in the final analysis, everyone is eligible to vote, but out of professional considerations, it is more appropriate to focus on their own field.

There has always been a saying in Hollywood that Oscar nominations depend on strength, but luck or character. That's why.

Because in the awarding stage, 6,000 judges are eligible to vote, and among these judges, actors are the largest group, so it is very important to have a good relationship, and character and luck are indispensable. On the contrary, in the nomination stage, since only members of the association in this department are eligible to vote, this is the real recognition of strength. The works that can be ranked among the top five finalists all show that they have received the highest recognition from their respective award departments. This is why many people who are shortlisted for nominations say "it's an honor to be shortlisted" when they finally miss the award. Although politeness is one thing, it is also true.

Among many departments, the number of actors increases the most every year, and the threshold is relatively low. For example, in this year's list of judges, the number of actors is close to one-third. "Sixth Generation 007" Daniel - Craig, Jennifer Aniston, who made the big screen move from Friends, Jennifer Hudson, who just won an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Little Miss Sunshine and Forty "Old Virgin" Steve Carell and others were shortlisted for the judges list, in addition, Ryan Gosling, Eddie Murphy and others were also lucky to be selected.

The threshold of the director department has always been recognized as the highest, which can also be seen from the evaluation of the industry. Although many American directors coveted the Oscar's golden man, the highest honor of the American Directors Guild in the industry is also recognized as great. An award that the director cannot miss. In the position of director, due to its special professionalism, both the Directors Guild of America and the academy's lineup of judges are very cautious. The five seats that can be nominated for best director every year are all cautious.

For example, Florian Henkel von Donnersma, who just won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for "Eavesdropping Storm", although this self-written and directed German cutting-edge has successfully entered the lineup of the academy judges, But he was nominated as a screenwriter. It can be seen that the Academy is cautious, and it can also be seen that the Oscar Best Director Award has a long-standing habit of being very strict with the threshold for newcomers, and it is even reflected in the absorption of new members.

This year, among the 115 shortlisted judges, there are only two fresh blood in the director department, which is so rare that it ranks with the art director as the two departments with the fewest newcomers this year.

One of the two shortlisted directors is Paul Greenglass. The individual director who filmed "Bloody Sunday" and "Flight 93" was born in a journalist, with a sharp and sensitive perspective, a tight and realistic rhythm, and a real and cruel subject matter. After winning attention with "The Idea of ​​Flying" in 1998, he was talented. has always been affirmed. In 2004, a "Bourne Bourne 2" won a wave of applause, pushing the commercial action movie to a brilliant height again, and it did not lose in the head-on confrontation with the "mechanical public enemy", whether it was the box office. Or word of mouth, it can be seen that the director is excellent; and "Bourne Bourne 3" is still directed by him, which will be released in six weeks, which is also highly anticipated.

Paul Greengrass was shortlisted for the jury lineup at this point in time, which is recognized as a move by the academy to make up for "Flight Ninety-Three"'s failure to be nominated for best director. Above the Oscars that just ended, the competition is too fierce, Paul - Greengrass talent is amazing, but after all, it is a step behind. Now being shortlisted for the jury lineup of the college is also a kind of affirmation.

And the other person is Evan Bell.

Evan Bell? When reporters saw this list their first reaction was not to be surprised that Evan Bell was shortlisted as a director, but "Didn't Evan be a Academy judge before? Oh, God!" Evan Bell Since the "Death Illusion" was born in 2001, it has been attracting attention. Leaving aside everything else, Evan Bell has won the nomination in the acting department for five consecutive years. Everyone takes it for granted: Evan Bell is not too early. Are you shortlisted for college judges?

However, after this year's list came out, everyone realized that Evan Bell actually waited until this year to be officially shortlisted. This immediately caused the college to be criticized. No matter what Evan Bell is, his talent is really not to be underestimated. In the past five years, Evan Bell has proved his strength with one work after another, and such a one can almost kill more than half in seconds. The existence of the academy judges has never been among the ranks of the academy judges, which is really incredible.

Of course, as for Evan Bell's identity as a finalist for the academy judges, director? actor? screenwriter? soundtrack? These details and details can be discussed later.

But why has Evan Bell been shortlisted as a judge until now? If the academy does not give an explanation, I am afraid it will be difficult to fool the past.
