Hollywood Road

Every year after the Oscar nominations are announced, the most fascinating topic is who will be the final winner. The media, forecasting agencies, and many movie fans all have their own hearts and look forward to the early arrival of the envelope opening time. 【】

If the audience is interested enough, they can even participate in online predictions and lottery draws on the official website of the Oscars. If their luck is comparable to that of the statuette winners, the grand prize waiting for them will be a 50-inch LCD TV provided by Sony.

As early as a few days ago, the hoisting of the giant golden statue at the entrance of the Hollywood and Highland Center, which was officially renamed Dolby Theater this year, was completed. After the extraordinary "Mr. Oscar" arrived, the construction of the red carpet area was also completed one after another. Especially It is a 600-foot-long red carpet, and it is also a key occasion for stars to show their demeanor.

At the starting point of the red carpet, a giant tent covering an area of ​​about 500 square meters was set up. After the star guests attending the awards ceremony arrive by car, they will pause for a while in the tent, and then step onto the red carpet one after another, entering the In the Kodak Theater, the filming area reserved for various media beside the red carpet is also huge. Since February is the rainy season in Los Angeles, the organizing committee planned ahead and designed the roof for all viewing stands and filming areas in advance.

Just past noon, a helicopter hovered over Hollywood, a cordon was pulled up on the street, and the Kodak Theater, where the Oscars ceremony was held, was defended with the utmost technical and manpower capabilities.

To keep order, there are surveillance cameras, metal detectors, and a police officer at every corner, and even movie fans sitting in the bleachers watching the stars enter the venue on the Avenue of Fame will be closely watched.

Before the Oscars, the most eye-catching thing was undoubtedly the renaming of the Kodak Theater to the Dolby Theater. After years of struggle, the world’s largest film manufacturer finally couldn’t resist the frenzy brought about by digital technology. Kodak officially filed for bankruptcy, and due to bankruptcy The problem filed an application to the court, hoping to suspend the naming rights contract with CIM.

Although it was also reported that a company on the other side of the Pacific Ocean would take over the naming rights of the theater, in the end CIM chose Dolby Laboratories as its new partner.

Dolby Laboratories signed a 20-year naming rights contract with CIM, the owner of the "Dolby Theatre". Officially renamed the Dolby Theater ahead of this Academy Awards ceremony.

"What do you think is the biggest hit at this Oscars?"

Compared with traditional TV viewers, young people like Daisy prefer to watch some programs through the Internet. The Internet can completely express their opinions while watching. She sat in front of the computer in the middle of the afternoon and entered the ABC TV station In the Oscars webcast section of , two guests are discussing who will be the biggest winner tonight.

The degree of freedom of Internet live broadcast is higher, and it will not be as serious as TV broadcast, and guests can also make bold comments.

Daisy sat in front of the computer, listening to the host of the live video website and a guest chattering here.

After the host asked this unnutritious sentence, the guest named Morgan Witwich immediately replied, "I think the most popular or most promising film is "The Artist"!"

The host asked, "Why "The Artist"?"

"It's very simple..." The guest was completely acting like an Oscar expert, "At the Golden Globe Awards, the biggest weathervane award before the Oscars, "The Artist" was the biggest winner, winning the Best Actor in a Drama Series, Best director and best feature film, according to the practice of previous years, the chances of this film winning..."

Hearing this sentence, Daisy almost spit out the water she drank in her mouth. As the leader of a fairly large discussion group on IMDB, she has a little research on Oscar, although unlike the self-proclaimed Oscar in the live broadcast Experts, but also know that the Golden Globes have little to do with the Oscars,

Moreover, the performance of "The Artist" can only be said to be mediocre in the several trade union awards that have been announced recently. Compared with the film "Diego Ross", it does not have much advantage at all.

The two were still discussing there. Daisy switched the window and came to the discussion area organized by Murphy Fans. The discussion here was quite heated.

"Will Murphy get his first Best Director statuette?"

This is the focus of discussion here.

"I will definitely get it, otherwise there will be no fairness in the Oscar!"

"It's time to end Oscar's running career!"

"If we still can't get it this time, we will go to the Beverly Hills Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences to sit in and protest!"

Someone also analyzed rationally, "Murphy's nominated film "Diego Ross" has 10 Oscar nominations, which is comparable to the hit "The Artist". "

Another said, "Murphy is the most audience-favorite director out of all the best director nominees!"

Although most netizens in the discussion are optimistic about Murphy's award, some people are still calm enough.

"It doesn't do anything to win an Oscar, and the old guys in the academy don't care whether a director or a film is liked by the audience..."

As soon as this sentence came out, the discussion area became much quieter. As long as you know a little bit about Hollywood, you will know that this is indeed the case.

"Murphy Stanton won't win!"

Suddenly, such a sentence popped up in the discussion area, which was extremely eye-catching among a bunch of Murphy fans, and immediately attracted Daisy's attention. She dragged the mouse to look, and the other party's ID made her angry.

"Catholics!"

The other party's ID is called this name.

Before the man finished, he said, "I tell you, the Catholic Church has mobilized all its forces in Hollywood to prevent Murphy Stanton from winning the award!"

Without even thinking about it, Daisy typed out a line, "Stop spraying dung here!"

"Shit, it's a Catholic xxxx, fuck him together!"

"I look up his IP, find the address, let's kill him together!"

The friction between Catholicism and Murphy was directly reflected on these fans.

"Murphy Stanton will definitely not win the award! Do you think our sect has no influence in Hollywood? Don't be naive!"

Seeing the other party's response, Daisy's eyes widened and her raging anger began to burn. Those bastards attacking Murphy and the video of attacking Murphy deserve to die!

"Come here if you have the ability!" The man looked extremely arrogant, "I smashed Murphy Stanton with an egg in the Santa Monica business center, and I will be stoned next time!"

"It's you!" Daisy tapped quickly without even thinking, "It's you bastard! You dare to be arrogant here! If I hit you once, I'll hit you a second time!"

The man didn't restrain himself at all, "You think I'm afraid? I curse Murphy Stanton to run with Oscar for the rest of my life!"

"boom!"

Daisy's fist hit the computer desk heavily. If that guy was in front of her now, she would definitely use the most severe punishment to torture him for a whole day before letting him die!

"I swear! If I catch you, you will die!" She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a sentence.

The management area of ​​the discussion area appeared at this time, kicked that person out, and blocked his right to enter the discussion area again.

But Daisy's mood still didn't calm down, and she regretted that she didn't make a more ruthless shot at that time, so she should have stepped his face into the sand and let him suffocate to death!

"Murphy is on the red carpet!"

Seeing the latest red-marked information in the discussion area, Daisy calmed down and quickly returned to the live broadcast page. Murphy and Gal Gadot had already walked on the red carpet, and countless flashing lights were constantly flashing around the two of them. lights up.

In front of the Dolby Theater, Murphy walked with Gal Gadot on his arm. Except for occasionally waving to fans who called his name, there was no sign of anyone else lingering on the red carpet, just like walking at a normal speed Similarly, when they entered the media area, they almost caught up with Anne Hathaway who was walking in front, which made this Princess Anne from New York look quite embarrassed.

Murphy didn't go to see Anne Hathaway, and directly pulled Gal Gadot to pass her. He ignored the media reporter's request to pose for a photo, and walked straight to the entrance of the Dolby Theater.

"Isn't that very polite?" Gal Gadot looked back.

It seems that what you can't get is the best. Most of the reporters' shots have stopped shooting Anne Hathaway, but turned to her and Murphy.

Murphy smiled, "Honey, because you are so beautiful tonight."

Gal Gadot is wearing a white Versace haute couture one-shoulder dress, with a retro hairstyle and red lips, and her gestures interpret what is luxury and gorgeous.

"You..." Gal Gadot shook his head.

But she also knew that Anne Hathaway walked too slowly, almost moving on the red carpet. After entering the media shooting area, she seemed to have no intention of leaving. What should the people behind her do? Can't she and Murphy wait there all the time?

Gal Gadot looked back again. For celebrities, the Oscars are a big party. Many moments of celebrities are also unforgettable. Some of them are spoofs, some are humorous, some are warm, and some are ambiguous.

On this year's red carpet, it seems to be a trend for celebrities to bring their families along the red carpet and share with the audience's family.

Brad Pitt, who was nominated for best actor in the baseball movie "Moneyball," was at the scene with partner Angelina Jolie and Pitt's parents.

Melissa McCarthy, who was nominated for Best Supporting Actress in this year's Oscars for her role in "Bridesmaids", participated in the Oscars for the first time and was also one of the award presenters. She walked on the red carpet surrounded by her husband, parents and sister ...

Coming to the interview area in front of the Dolby Theater, a big fat man suddenly appeared in front of Murphy and Gal Gadot.

"Hello, Harvey." Murphy walked over enthusiastically.

The surrounding reporters who had obtained the interview permission immediately surrounded Murphy and Harvey Weinstein when they saw Murphy and Harvey Weinstein. .
