Chapter 572： The most boos

On the afternoon of March 23, US Western Time, the 75th Oscar Awards ceremony was staged on time, but this is destined to be the most intensely opposed award ceremony.

Beginning two days ago, at the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Boulevard, a large number of demonstrators supporting and opposed to the Iraq War gathered at the same time. Under the separation of the Los Angeles police, they were still crying slogans of wolves, and there was no excessively fierce conflict.

Under the shadow of war, the style of Hollywood's annual film event is obviously a bit solemn.

Today, the anti-war team has nearly doubled and flocked to a place not far from the Kodak Theater. They held high writings such as'Bush betrayed the United States','Bush is a dangerous element' and'Oscars demand peace'. The anti-war placard made a loud noise.

And about half a block from the entrance of the Kodak Theater, the number of Americans who supported the war against Iraq far exceeded the anti-war crowd. They sang the praises of "America, America" ​​with the words "God Bless America" ​​in their hands. The brand of solidarity, with a greater momentum to suppress the wave of anti-war.

Due to the special situation faced by this awards ceremony, although the organizers of this awards ceremony set up a red carpet, they cancelled the red carpet and TV interviews and other admission ceremonies. Some stars who opposed the war also wore anti-war prints. Brooch with slogan of war.

Although individual stars and film directors refused to attend this Oscars ceremony in protest against the ongoing Iraq War between the United States and Britain, they were only a few of the few, and most of those who received the invitation from the academy showed up at the Kodak Theater on time.

As for people like Will Smith who publicly refuse to attend, he is basically out of the best actor Oscar in his entire life, although actors like him have never been invited by the academy.

First, when Ryan was threatened by al-Qaeda, and then with this wave of anti-war, security work naturally became the top priority.

A few days before the Oscar ceremony, a National Guard and their mobile testing room were arranged to the scene. Responsible for testing suspicious substances, the FBI and the Los Angeles County Police Department have deployed capable forces at the Kodak Theater, and even arranged observation posts and snipers on top of several nearby buildings to prevent accidents.

As the broadcaster of the Oscars, the TV station not only continuously broadcasts textual news about Iraq, but also broadcasts war videos at appropriate times.

Although the Iraq War cast a shadow over the Oscars, many people in the industry predict that the ratings of this Oscar will be the lowest since the 1990s, but the TV station affiliated with Disney has become a big winner before the Oscars. It’s just about The advertising fee for the awards ceremony was as high as 85 million U.S. dollars.

Anyway. Calling for peace became another theme of this awards ceremony.

Although there is no red carpet, most celebrities will say a few words to the media before entering the theater.

When Ryan arrived, a reporter asked him-what do you think about holding an awards ceremony in this situation?

"This kind of question should be asked to the president of the college, Pearson's husband, right?" Although he pushed the question out of the question calmly, he still said, "Our values ​​are being questioned all over the world. The event is very necessary!"

What personality to play at this time is purely asking for trouble, and keeping consistent with the mainstream voice is the wisest choice.

Although Hollywood’s anti-war voice has always been loud, the actual implementation of the action is still the thunder and the rain. Only two or three unnominated people who said they would withdraw from the Oscars.

What's more, there are a large number of stars like Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford who supported the Iraq War.

Almost all the activities before this awards ceremony were cancelled, and Ryan walked past the entrance where the reporters gathered. While greeting others, he walked into the theater, glanced roughly, and directly found the location of the crew of "The Moment".

"Drew. Congratulations yet."

Gently hugged Drew Barrymore who was sitting near the aisle, Ryan continued, "How does the best supporting actress feel?"

"Just a nomination." Drew shrugged. He said indifferently, "It's impossible to win a prize."

She played the role of Julian Moore in the previous life, and got a nomination for best supporting actress through a series of operations, but her baby face was absolutely flawed.

"Hi, Annie." Ryan turned to Nicole and greeted her sister first, "I wanted to visit you when I was filming in Sydney. I didn't expect you to have come to Los Angeles."

"Yes, you will be my boss from now on." Antonia Kidman also hugged him. She has joined the TV station.

Finally, Ryan took Nicole's hand, and the Australian girl wore a black evening dress with her long hair dyed in honey gold neatly coiled behind her head, revealing her smooth forehead and white face, showing her as much as she wanted. Your beautiful face.

"Didn't you tell me not to let you come?" The pair of golden eyebrows wrinkled slightly. This kind of occasion is a place where confusion and instability can easily occur.

"I always want to see you stand on that stage again with my own eyes." Ryan cast his gaze on the stage of the Kodak Theater.

"Okay, go back to your seat." Nicole also gave him a hug.

After passing the "New York Gangs" seating area, I greeted Leonardo DiCaprio, Ryan came to the seat of the "Lord of the Rings" crew, and his seat was again next to the New Zealand fat man Peter Jackson.

"Peter, the second Oscar is nominated." Ryan said after sitting down.

"Do you need me to thank you, Ryan?" Peter Jackson joked. "If I could stand on it, I would definitely thank you."

"Hey, Ryan, where is our Princess Arwen?"

Elijah Wood's hand stretched out from behind, and Ryan shook him, "Charlie is out."

After filming "Kill Bill", Charlize took on the next film. Because of the location in the Philippines, he had already greeted with the college that he would be absent.

As Ryan appeared in Hollywood for longer and longer, the circle changed more and more. For example, Peter Jackson won the second best director nomination for "The Two Towers", such as Billy Chris. Tuo accepted the invitation again and became the host of this Oscars ceremony.

"I am very happy to see that the organizer has lowered the standards of this awards show. Even the traditional red carpet has been cancelled. If you don't know yet, I will bring you this message by the way."

What remains unchanged is that after Billy Christo stood on stage, he was still showing off his tongue, as well as the routine nominated song joint skewers and so on.

Subsequently, another big change occurred in this awards ceremony. Perhaps it was Ryan’s extraneous relationship. The Best Animated Feature Film Award, which should have appeared last year, officially entered the Oscar this year, but won the first one. The animated feature film for the award has not changed.

"In the past few years, we have seen excellent animated feature films come out one after another, which has brought us countless joys."

The sunny Cameron Diaz with a big grin read out the nominations, "Spirited Away Hayao Miyazaki, Shrek, Jeremy Katzenberg, Star Baby "Chris Sanders, "Silver Island" Ron Clemmonds..."

"The winner is..." She looked down at the envelope and read the same answer as everyone thought, "Jeffr Katzenberg of "Shrek"!"

The people at DreamWorks Animation Studios immediately boiled over. Before taking the stage to accept the award, Jeff Katzenberg came over to hug Ryan.

After Jeff Katzenberg stepped onto the stage, Ryan turned his head and looked at the Japanese. Only he knew that the best animated feature film in the previous life belonged to the Japanese.

However, with "Shrek", the film academy will definitely no longer consider outsiders.

The next few technical awards were mostly divided between "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers". The former won the best art direction, best editing and best costume design, and the latter won the best visual effect. And the best sound editing.

But what surprised Ryan the most was that Jennifer Lopez once again became the guest of the Oscars. The Latin queen is obviously very capable. Fortunately, it is not to continue to present the best original song...

The Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress as the opening highlight, unexpectedly fell to Chris Cooper and Catherine Zeta Jones. Compared with the last time he said hello, Mrs. Douglas stood up. pregnant.

Hmm... From then on, she never seemed to regain her previous figure.

Subsequently, Michael Moore took over the Golden Man of the best documentary from Diane Lynn, but the acceptance speech caused a boo of applause and greater than applause.

"We live in an era where a false president was elected through false elections We live in an era where people let us go to war for false reasons."

His spearhead was directed at the Bush administration and the Iraq war. Other people in the theater reacted differently. Some applauded, some stood up to pay tribute, and most booed.

Ryan has no impression of the image of this fat director with glasses, but these words of the other party immediately reminded him of a documentary-"Fahrenheit 911".

Isn't he the director of this documentary?

With his chin resting on it, Ryan felt that this kind of possibility was very great. Although Hollywood has never taken the Washington government seriously, there are probably not many people who openly criticize it on this occasion.

Shaking his head, Ryan threw away these thoughts so that he wouldn't mix in this kind of thing.

"Fahrenheit 911" reflects some real situations, but what is said in the film is true? In essence, the director is no different from the federal government. In order to achieve his own goals, he does not hesitate to use a lot of lies. (To be continued...) ()
