Chapter 810： Oscar leaks

As we all know, the ratings of Oscars in recent years have hit record lows. This year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and the Oscar Organizing Committee have spent huge sums of money to build the most luxurious crystal stage in history, aiming to capture people’s attention visually. According to information received by Ryan, the stage design for the 81st Oscar Awards, designed by Broadway setting master David Rockwell, is decorated with 92,000 Swarovski crystals, forming a spectacular "Crystal Waterfall" To create a fairy tale world.

This year’s Oscar Organizing Committee has not only refurbished the stage decorations, but also boldly reformed the specific viewing links. During the awards gala, the organizing committee will follow the example of the "Super Bowl" and intensively broadcast the upcoming Hollywood blockbusters to strive for more. Eyeballs also get more advertising fees.

The organizing committee also deliberately added interactive links to give full play to the enthusiasm of the audience.

In addition, the traditionally conservative Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences was rarely opened once. One week before the awards ceremony, a huge publicity and hype was launched in conjunction with numerous media.

Of course, the academy represents the authority of the film industry, and it is naturally impossible to create those inferior gossip news to win attention.

Therefore, the key speculation goals are the highlights of this awards ceremony.

For example, can a handsome host become a "killer" for young women.

In order to save the ratings decline of recent awards ceremonies, the Oscar Organizing Committee has worked **** the host. The Australian male star, recognized as the world’s **** man "Wolverine" Hugh Jack Man, will host this awards ceremony. Oscar Organizing Committee This time, the "Beauty Men's Plan" will be set up, in the hope that more older female audiences can drive family members to watch the awards ceremony and attract viewers.

At least from the perspective of the publicity effect, the public is still full of expectations for Hugh Jack Man’s hosting.

For example, can Meryl Streep set a new Oscar record.

Meryl Streep, who has been nominated for the fifteenth Oscar, unsurprisingly broke the record held by Catherine Hepburn, setting the highest number of Oscar nominations, but only two Oscar nominees have been awarded so far, and four The second time winner Catherine Hepburn still has a big gap.

If this year's Oscar for best actress is in the competition. Meryl Streep can really hug the Golden Man as the media thinks, then she will once again be recorded in the annals of history and become one of the few actresses to win three Oscars for acting.

It is undeniable that Meryl Streep is the best acting actress today, at least one of the top three or four.

For example, can Nicole Kidman win the Oscar for Best Actress for the third time.

Like Natalie last year, Nicole swept the best actress crown in a series of awards, including the Golden Globe Awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards. If she wins the third time, she can at least surpass May in the number of golden figures. Lil Streep.

The world is very realistic, and the uncrowned king will never compare to someone who has many honorable awards, otherwise Hollywood actors and directors will be one by one. Nor will he go crazy for Oscars.

For example, can **** films win Oscars again?

Even after "Brokeback Mountain", the society has become more tolerant of coming out, but the subject of homosexuality is still a more sensitive topic. Oscar will not discriminate against homosexuality, at least not on the surface, while the homosexual film "Milk" Won many important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, etc., the former bad boy Sean Penn and "Milk" have once again embarked on the Oscar road with the hope of the **** community.

For example, can Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie win both.

Pete and Julie were nominated for Best Actor and Actress for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" and "Suspicious Cloud" respectively. If they can win both at the same time, it must be a major Oscar record.

unfortunately. This is just a booze from the academy. Even the most confused people understand that the odds of this pair of winning are infinitely close to zero.

For example, who will be the most beautiful actress on the red carpet.

This is completely a topic that the academy put together, after all, every Oscar red carpet. The audience saw the female stars fighting over and under.

Also, in order to attract eyeballs, the academy never let go of even the dead.

Although there is no "Batman", there is no such crazy character. But Heath Ledger still came to the end of his life, because he died at home because of an overdose, and he played another mentally ill role. Unexpectedly, he won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actor, just like his previous life, with the advantage of having died, he almost booked the statuette.

Hollywood always doesn't mind making money. From the crew of the movie "The Third Kind of People" he starred in to the Oscar organizing committee, they all use Heath Ledger's death to hype in order to profit from it.

Of course, such a person has nothing to sympathize with. No first-line Hollywood actor bears less pressure than Heath Ledger. There are many ways to vent pressure. Since Heath Ledger has chosen to take drugs, It is normal to bear the consequences of drug overdose.

It's like Ruifan Phoenix who died of a drug overdose, even if there are some reasons behind their brokerage team and public relations team, but they chose the road after all.

Although the media sighed like Refan Phoenix when he died, they did so only because the public likes to see this. In fact, few people in Hollywood really care, even those actors who are similar to Heath Ledger. Take a long sigh of relief, after all, there has been one strong competitor missing.

As for the best supporting actor, from judges to competitors to ordinary audiences, no one minds giving it to a dead person. After all, even if the opponent wins the award, it will not bring any surprises or threats in the future.

It can be said that in order to save the declining ratings of Oscars year by year, the college and the organizing committee are really planning to fight.

You should know that in the past, the Oscars ceremony was basically stable in the second and third ratings in the United States. Except for the Super Bowl—no programs and events can compete with it—there are almost no real opponents, but the ratings and ratings in recent years The decline in the viewing crowd has already made the entire Hollywood feel a crisis.

Propaganda, hype, and throwing eye-catching boo heads are the only ways to increase ratings.

Of course, if the college is willing to consider those movies that are popular at the box office in the important awards, the ratings will definitely not be a problem, but the college will easily not do so.

From another perspective, the decline in Oscar ratings is inseparable from the college's increasingly conservative and niche choices.

Perhaps the academy felt that the highlights were not attractive enough, or it was just a hype in the media. Just two days before the awards ceremony, surprising news that the Oscar winners list was leaked was posted on the Internet.

In this list, "Slumdog Millionaire" will win three awards for best film, best director and best photography; while another hit film "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" will only receive best costume design and Two technical awards for the best makeup; for the actor award, Brad Pitt lost to rival Mickey Locke and missed the actor, while Nicole Kidman will defeat Meryl Sterry with "Weakness." Pu won the Oscar for the actress.

The list also claimed to have the signature of the new academy rotating chairman Sidney Gannis, Amy Adams will win the best supporting actress award, and the best supporting actor award belongs to the dead Heath Ledger, the best director award winner It's Danny Bowie, the director of "Slumdog Millionaire."

Numerous media were in an uproar. Disney received a mysterious call from some people, and began to stir up the incident with other entertainment media. Many media collectively asked questions on the eye-catching page-is it possible that the highly confidential Oscar winners list has also been leaked time?

It is certain that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences came out to refute the rumors.

"This list is absolutely false," Leslie Unger, spokesperson of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, responded in an interview with the media. "PwC is still making the final statistics on the votes, and the results of the awards are announced. Before, only two people would know the attribution of the award. The college will not inform the winners of the results in advance, let alone send out such a list of awards."

Generally speaking, Oscar leaks are almost impossible.

The Oscar selection is a rigorous process. The well-known accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers is responsible for overseeing the selection and counting process. Since they took over the Oscar counting work, there has not been a leak.

After the ballots are collected, PwC will send two credible vote-counting supervisors to supervise a team in a secret place for the final vote-counting until the winners are out, and they will be divided into two letter-packed bags.

Only these two supervisors knew the final selection results, and on the night of the awards, the two men took two cars to the Kodak Theater on different routes to prevent them from encountering traffic jams and other accidents at the same time. The whole process seemed Foolproof.

However, UU reading www.uukanshu. Only the rotating chairman of the academy and the rotating committee of this session know whether there are any tricks in it.

Perhaps, the big guys in the academy saw a fake list on the Internet and deliberately wanted to take advantage of the hype to increase the attractiveness of this year’s Oscars; or perhaps, this list was faked by them, deliberately adding topics to the media and the public. …

You know, there is no convincing conclusion about the theft of the Little Golden Man at the beginning of the new millennium.

Under Ryan's signal, Disney's media fully cooperated with the academy's actions. He has never been a rebellious or unconventional person. It is what he considers most to make money from it.

At this year’s Oscars, Disney only has the key public relations award for Best Actress in "The Weakness". As for the best film, the North American box office of "Weakness", which continues to climb to 300 million US dollars, is one of the biggest obstacles to winning the award.

In most cases, high box office is the killer of important Oscar awards. (To be continued...)
