Hollywood New Century

The 79th Academy Awards in 2007 were held at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California, USA at 20:30 on February 25th, 2007, by the famous stand-up comedian Ellen DeGeneres Be the host.

"The Departed" won two awards for Best Picture and Best Director;

Xinghai Pictures' family road comedy "Little Miss Sunshine" won the Best Supporting Actor Award and Best Original Screenplay.

The best actor is Forest Whitaker for "The Last Dictatorship", another black Oscar winner.

Helen Mirren, unsurprisingly, won the actress through the movie "The Queen".

Beverly Hills, Simon's house, Emily Blunt is changing and has just come over from the Kodak Theater.

"You and Anne Hathaway presented the best costume design, very interesting," Simon joked, waiting for Emily Blunt to come out.

"Fortunately, it's quite suitable for the two of us to award awards," Emily Blunt said, sitting next to Simon, and sighed:

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be eligible to participate in the Vanity Fair dinner!"

At most, the guests at the Vanity Fair dinner are only around 1,500 people, and there are more than a few people participating in the Oscar party.

The Vanity Fair dinner invites all the Oscar-winning and nominated people, of course, the main thing is to invite other big-name filmmakers, film company executives, producers, directors, stars, fashion models, etc. A series.

After all, there are a lot of big-name filmmakers who didn't attend the Oscars because they didn't have a production, and of course they were invited to the Vanity Fair dinner.

Simon smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't happen in the future. The Vanity Fair dinner was originally just a large party, and anyone with a topic is invited."

"Soon, you can do it. I didn't get the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress this time, but Dakota Fanning got it for "Little Miss Sunshine"," Simon said and kissed the **** the face One bite.

"Fortunately, I had a Best Supporting Actress nomination for the previous American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards," Emily Blunt said, standing up and turning around,

"Is this suit nice?"

A blue sloping shoulder evening dress looks a little playful, but it does look beautiful.

Simon got up and said, "Let's go. When Vanity Fair magazine came up with this Oscar dinner, it was indeed a very genius idea. In the past ten years, the circulation of "Vanity Fair" has become larger and larger, and its influence has also increased. More and more!"

"The shooting of '26 Dresses' is about to start. I should have prepared the role. I met your friend Jennifer Smith. She is beautiful and serious," Emily Blunt said as she walked.

"She is also going to film "Gossip Girl" with Blake Lively. This year should be very fulfilling," Simon has not seen Jennifer Smith for a long time, more than two years have passed in a flash.

Simon feels that he is really a kind person and is too good to people!

After walking down Sunset Boulevard and entering Hollywood Boulevard, this year's Oscar Vanity Fair dinner was held in the ballroom above the Kodak Theater.

Entering the theater with Emily Blunt, Simon saw a tall, beautiful figure on the red carpet.

"Sharapova, the US Open Grand Slam winner last year, was only 17 years old when she won her first Wimbledon Grand Slam in 2004, and she is only 20 years old this year. She has two Grand Slams," Simon said. ·Pike still likes this Russian tennis beauty.

"Oscar invited the Williams sisters from the tennis world to the Vanity Fair dinner last year, and she invited her again this year. Oscar is now approaching the sports circle," Simon said, while looking at the young Sharapeau. baby.

In the banquet hall, Emily Blunt went to "The Queen Wears Prada" and Simon went to "Little Miss Sunshine".

Congrats, of course, to Alan Arkin, who won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, and the screenwriter who won Best Original Screenplay.

"Simon, long time no see!" Rob Moore, the vice chairman of Paramount Pictures and Brad Gray's deputy, came over.

"It's not long, I just saw it at the seminar of "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" before," Simon smiled and walked to the corner with Rob Moore, there must be something he wanted to ask himself.

"This year's Oscars ceremony is still very diverse and international. Two Mexican directors' works "Babel" and "Pan's Labyrinth" received 13 nominations, as well as "Queen" and "The Last Dictatorship". It's a popular film at the Venice Film Festival, the Toronto Film Festival, etc.!" Rob Moore first talked to Simon about the Oscars just now.

"Rob, don't you think that if Babel were an American director, this year's best film wouldn't be The Departed, it would definitely be Babel!" Simon said and drank a glass of wine, talking about artistry , "Infernal Affairs" really can't compare to "Babel Tower".

Is this year really diverse? The well-received "Tower of Babel" and "Pan's Labyrinth" received many nominations, but they basically failed to win.

Who is this year's winner? In the end, it was the pure American culture film "The Departed" that won the best picture.

While "Dreamgirls" describes the history of black pop music in the United States; the American family warmth of "Little Miss Sunshine"; and "Inconvenient Truth", which criticizes the US government's environmental protection policies, the nature of the Oscars is still American movies and American values. An embodiment of the exported American beliefs and culture.

Diversification and internationalization are nothing more than a thrown dog's bone! Foreign films that have won Oscars usually express the inferiority of their countries or show the lack of civilization.

Does the United States have inferiority? So much that America doesn't have human rights issues? That's more!

However, the mainstream in the United States is to show the superiority and democratic freedom of the American nation, and to export American values.

Rob Moore smiled, Paramount's attitude towards Oscar is very bland, it's all about the main creator of the movie.

"Simon, Marvel Studios' superhero movie "Iron Man" has started filming. Previously, due to the acquisition, Marvel Studios and our Paramount film distribution issues were also interrupted. Now you don't want to talk about it again. ?" Rob Moore said the purpose.

Simon was stunned for a moment. Does Paramount remember this?

Now, the CEO of the new Viacom is not Tom Freston, the former chairman of the MTV network who was in charge of the new Viacom Group after the spin-off of Viacom in 2005.

Last September, Summer Redstone parachuted into Los Angeles, and Tom Cruise was not alone in the bad luck. Tom Freston, CEO of the new Viacom Group, was replaced by Philip Dorman.

Philip Dorman had been Viacom's chief lawyer and a very trustworthy person around Summer Redstone.
