Ace Hollywood

? On February 11, 2003, at 5:30 pm, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 75th Academy Awards. △↗,

The media described it as "a set of procedures that have been determined to be without fun and surprises." Affected by the shady crisis that has not yet eased at the Golden Globe Awards, there are also many critics who believe that in the Best Picture category, Oscar and Golden Globe Awards. The exact same results suggest that the manipulator may have reached out to Oscar.

"It would be a disaster, and the glory of Hollywood would sink and fall."

But in any case, no one can change the Oscar's status as the most high-profile award - even when the United States has been shrouded in the dark cloud of the Iraq War.

Five days ago, Daniel accepted the appointment of Guterdis on the banks of the East River in Manhattan and officially became the goodwill ambassador of the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees.

Unsurprisingly, he delivered his inaugural speech, or an anti-war speech, in front of a crowd of well-known figures, dressed in a sleek black suit and striped tie with a blue dolphin pattern.

In his speech, Daniel described a terrifying picture.

"...The cities and villages of Iraq will be in ruins, people will be displaced, bloodshed from shell fragments and stray bullets, and the great people bred by the ancient civilization of the two rivers will suffer unbelievable catastrophe and death threats... Army The advantage will be established soon, but it is by no means a victory, the rebels will use their own bodies, and local knowledge, to carry out roaming, unpredictable attacks on the crowded downtown and the camp of the US military, our Armies will face suicide attacks that are impossible to defend, religious beliefs will be abused, brutal ambitions will grow from the ashes of war, and the world will usher in an era of unrest and terror... no one is Victory, all losers, Americans, Americans, Iraqis, Muslims. And people around the world who want to be at peace. We don't want to see countless displaced refugees, and we don't want to see It is a tragic situation where father and son are separated, and lovers are separated forever. I appeal to decision makers not to release the plague of war from Pandora's Box, which will be a horrific disaster that we cannot bear."

This article was picked up by The New York Times—it was pro-Democratic, and at this time, of course, the previous filth was exposed. The Times called it “a poem-like anti-war essay,” it said. "Daniel described a shocking picture in his speech, although he used the words as euphemistically and mildly as possible. But everyone can see how severe the consequences will be in the event of a war."

The rhetoric of other newspapers and media is similar. Although the current power figures support the war as the mainstream, and the silent majority seem to do the same, the people who have jumped out to rally and march in a frenzy are all anti-war groups, so open anti-war remarks, It is now popular. So benefit from this. Daniel's speech this time was basically spread in a positive and positive way.

"Everyone is complimenting you on your well-written speech."

"I wrote it four times and revised it fourteen times. Even if I am a person who doesn't like learning very much, the result should be satisfactory."

"To tell the truth. I really don't believe that your SAT has such a little score at the beginning. Even from your first draft, it seems that you have more than that." Kusa shook his head, expressing puzzlement.

Daniel glanced at him. "Let me see if the top guys at Brown are laughing at me. Well, I didn't see it. Just ask if you're really asking, actually, I'm making up a class, and when I'm filming in Burbank, whenever I was taking time to read while Miller was ravaging his dumbbells and Diesel was making a face mask."

"Wow, are you going to go to college?"

"Why not? I can take a break next year. I'm going to go to college, study business or something."

"But you can't complete all the credits in one year, and you think that even if you don't film, you will be free?"

Cusa couldn't understand Daniel's new idea. "You can go to Harvard or Wharton to give lectures, why should you study business?"

"It's practical, if I go to college in New York or California, I can still handle other things. And I don't plan to finish it in a year. I plan to spend seven or eight years and be able to graduate before the age of 30. best."

"Well, I really don't want to hear my boss say he's going to take the SATs and apply to a college, Berkeley or Los Angeles, when I'm handing the Oscar winner list to me?"

"So should I continue to answer? If it's not Berkeley, I hope it's New York University." Daniel raised an eyebrow. "As for the list, I've seen it. Not bad, isn't it?"

"The Pianist" was nominated for seven awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor - a stark contrast to what it encountered at the Golden Globes. "Chicago" made eleven nominations, making it the biggest winner of the nomination moment. Of course, in general, there are still a few films that were finally affirmed and supported by the judges. They and the judges of the Golden Globes have almost the same overall evaluation criteria, which seems to show that, "The judges of the Golden Globes are still Those who follow a few basic rules, of course, it is also possible that Oscar doesn’t even know what rules are.”

He wasn't particularly interested in the list of nominees because the outcome was no longer in suspense.

...

In March, Raymond has slowly put more than 300 million funds into the crude oil market. He is sweating. This is a tense moment for him and for Daniel.

With the news that the United States is about to start a war with Iraq, the crude oil market has remained relatively stable, but the volatility has become more severe. Prudent investors have begun to carefully consider whether to exit or enter this market. Raymond, who was bought in for many months, did not attract much attention.

Daniel is busy with public relations at the voting stage. This part of the work is very little. After all, this year is completely different. The most important factor is the war, and the second is that the opponents are now their own wage earners. The most important work is the movie "Rwanda Hotel" jointly launched by him, MGM and Lionsgate. This film is not the same as the original version. Daniel's own scenes are cut to be equivalent to the shots in one shot, while Denzel Washington has been deepened a lot vertically, and some moving supporting roles have also been introduced. The film fully demonstrates the kindness and touching hearts of human nature in a man-made disaster.

In December last year, the film had a platform-limited screening. As for the official release time, it was also determined early, March 22--just before the Oscars. In this context, launching such a film with a sensitive subject matter, no matter what, is a matter of caution for investors and distributors. Losing money is the second priority. Once the public is angered, the consequences will be unimaginable. So the workload is quite heavy.

Work continued until March 10, when the Oscars hosted a nominee luncheon at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, where nearly 100 nominees accepted their nomination certificates and posed for photos with the statuettes.

Nicole Kidman was busy performing "Sisterhood" with Renee Zweig and Diane Lena, while Martin Scorsese and Nicolas Cage talked about old friendships, and they collaborated on "Sisterhood" Catherine Zeta-Jones has been talking about her huge belly, and the fact that her due date is right before and after the Oscars - it's hard work.

In general, the biggest topic of the luncheon is war!

Academy President Frank himself made it clear at the luncheon that the Oscars would not be canceled. Since the United Kingdom and the United States set the deadline for Iraq to hand over weapons of mass destruction to March 17, the news that the Oscars will cancel the ceremony has been in an endless stream. Will Smith, Cate Blanchett A large number of stars, including special, said that they would not attend - most of them are not nominated, and not attending is just playing a dozen anti-war cards and gaining a little reputation.

Jill Cates, the producer in charge of broadcasting the Oscars, also indicated that everything will go on normally. He said that at this time the Oscars should give full play to the charm of the film, which will declare unity and cohesion.

After the war, Daniel Sandler.

When he appeared, whether it was accidentally injured by him at the Golden Globe Awards, or he was secretly relieved, he showed him the kindest smile. It seemed that all of a sudden, he knew the whole of Hollywood.

Now a big star who has a little bit of a door, should know that Daniel is completely different.

Fortunately, the murderous Daniel I heard was still mild-mannered, talking to everyone in a low voice, showing humility to the blessing, and then sending a very comfortable wish.

It seems that ~www.readwn.com~ Oscar is more amicable than the Golden Globes.

...

After the March 17th limit arrived, the atmosphere in the entire United States became tense. The Kodak Theater's arrangement of the awards ceremony has been simplified to the point that it cannot be reduced further, and even the gold powder on the Oscar statuettes erected outside the theater has been scraped. A layer fell off and became bleak, and all invited guests were also asked to "dress appropriately for the event".

Three days later, the Anglo-American coalition officially began bombing Iraq.

The night before, Daniel entered the presidential suite of this furnished hotel, he was inside, and Raymond and the trader who came later were outside. He was dressed in a long black tweed with a gray knitted sweater and white shirt, linen trousers and brown leather shoes, like a middle-class American man on a business trip.

He walked directly into the elevator with ease, and waved the key card in his hand to the attendant behind him. (To be continued..)

ps: The first update, pass this paragraph quickly... I want to recommend, I stepped on the death line of 150 votes yesterday and cried. u
