Made in Hollywood

"Duke Rosenberg isn't one of the best directors on the planet."

The TV screen switched to the studio, and Roger Albert continued to talk, as if he had already won a big victory, "If he doesn't get the recognition of the Oscar statuette, no matter how good he is in business, that is, with Michael Bay. Staying at the same level, and he can't get Oscar recognition..."

Looking away from the TV, Norman Miller suppressed the urge to spit at the ugly guy on the TV, and put his eyes on the opposite computer screen. In his instant sharing circle of friends, countless people have already started. abused.

Abuse against Roger Albert!

These Rosenberg film lovers, they naturally know who Duke's enemies are, and also understand the origin of the grievances between the two sides.

"For my own selfishness, I'm just talking about it on TV, and it's a Pulitzer Prize winner, bah!"

His circle of friends has almost swiped.

"Is someone going to gag the mouth of this ugly ghost? He's more disgusting than a fly!"

"Every time I watch the Oscars, I'm in a good mood, but when I see Roger Albert at the opening, it always makes me nauseous!"

"He said Duke can't win? It's like the Oscars are set by film critics. What are professional film critics!"

"Just a bunch of outdated obsolete garbage!"

Norman Miller was relatively calm and restrained, "When Duke wins the Oscar statuette, I don't know what color this guy's face will turn into!"

"I'm sure I'll be stunned..."

"Maybe I'll be pissed off..."

"Let's not talk about it, the awards ceremony is about to start."

The Kodak Theater also gradually turned quiet. While Ivanka was going to greet people elsewhere, Mrs. Leah, who came over in the afternoon, asked some questions.

"I heard some bad news in New York," she whispered. "Ivanka intends to bring Donald's Trump Organization into your company."

Duke nodded, "I was dragged down temporarily."

Ivanka wants to list the company, and is preparing to conduct a rights issue before going public. The most important aspect of the rights issue is to introduce funds from the Trump Organization.

Although Ivanka did not say it explicitly, Duke actually got the news when he was in Paris. Then the listing thing was dragged down.

This happened after Ivanka went back to New York a few times, and Duke knew it, just like Mrs. Leah did to him. Donald's father is equally important to Ivanka. It is obvious that Donald Trump used family affection as a weapon to persuade Ivanka.

However, Duke has no plans to back down again to Donald Trump. Human greed is limitless. Too much concession will only invite more greed.

"I'm measured," Duke whispered.

Mrs. Leah patted his hand lightly, she was still a little worried before, worried that Duke was blinded.

Ivanka came over quickly. Unlike before, Mrs. Leah just nodded slightly to her.

The music on the stage suddenly sounded, and everyone turned their eyes to the front. Along with the others, they clapped their palms together, and the 76th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.

Perhaps the ratings in the past few years have been disastrous. This year's awards ceremony not only has a more gorgeous stage layout, but also has some retro flavors of the 1990s.

Billy Crystal after three years. Once again on the Oscar-hosted stage and edited into the nominees, he sailed with Russell Crowe in "Burst", competed with Johnny Depp on swordsmanship and catwalking, and On the picture with Viggo Mortensen's head cut out, he held the holy sword of Anduril high, transformed into Legolas to kill the mammoth, and even appeared naked...

The comedian really fought for the ratings.

"It's time." Arwen encouraged him, "Oscar needs you!"

"Take out all the honors you hold dear and go back to the Oscar stage..." shouted Aragorn, who was wielding his sword on a prancing horse.

"You'd better continue this job, Lord Christo." Captain Barbossa, who turned into a skeleton, solemnly warned.

Finally, under the escort of Jack Nicholson in white and white, he passed through St. White City and came to the Kodak Theater.

"It's your turn to come on stage." Jack Nicholson, who was holding a cane, took off his iconic sunglasses and handed them to Billy Crystal. "Go and win the applause, Billy!"

"Let me show them!" Billy Crystal put on his eyes and walked into the Kodak Theater.

The stage was bright, and Billy Christophe was greeted with applause as soon as he came on stage, and the best Oscar supporter at the turn of the century, even if he didn't say a word, already won bursts of laughter.

After poking fun at Charlize Theron and Johnny Depp, the well-known comedian took out his Oscar-hosted repertoire -- a sing-along mashup of nominated films.

"There's Sofia Coppola, the first American woman ever to be nominated for best director... She made the film in just 47 days, and her best friend, Ilya, just took that time. ?Wood wakes up from sleep..."

"Frodo and Sam were walking on a mysterious land, and Smeago suddenly jumped out, just like Janet Jackson's right breast! Britney and Jennifer Lopez dumped their husband after watching this movie, they I thought this film was called an engagement ring..."

"Lithium salts, sake, Xiaoyao pills and psychedelics, and drugs from Truman Capote," Billy Crystal took aim at Duke again, "Duke Rosenberg That's what he ate when he made The Lord of the Rings trilogy, he made such a great trilogy, he was as good as God, I love every frame of the Lord of the Rings! Duke Rosen Berg, maybe your name will be recited on stage tonight!"

Next, Billy Crystal made fun of Russell Crowe and Clint Eastwood, and the first award officially arrived.

As the guest of honor, it is an old acquaintance of Duke - Catherine? Zeta Jones.

Although the British actor starred in "Chicago" ahead of schedule, which resulted in only the best supporting actress nomination that year, he still won the best supporting actress for a literary film last year.

Seeing this waist-length, slightly plump actress, Ivanka frowned slightly. It was her first time to accompany Duke to the Oscars, and the experience was definitely not too pleasant. Having said that Duke's previous lace, I don't care too much in my heart, but these people keep jumping in front of me, and it's not something that makes people happy.

As a group play, "The Return of the King" was not shortlisted for any performance awards, and the best supporting actor presented by Catherine Zeta-Jones was won by Tim Robbins.

Duke accompanied the audience to applaud softly, and the moment that belongs to the Lord of the Rings trilogy still needs to wait.

He knew very well that, like "Titanic" back then, even if it was nominated, "The King Comes" would not make a difference in the acting awards.

Combining commercial films and group dramas, it is too difficult to win an acting award.

As a die-hard fan of The Lord of the Rings trilogy, Brad Miller has been following Oscar all the time. He is engaged in an IT job. Like many young people, he turns on his computer and TV at the same time, watching live broadcasts while paying attention dynamics on the network.

“This site is really good!”

He logged into his instant sharing account, a newly emerging social networking site. With its ultra-fast response speed and simple and smooth sharing functions, it has surpassed blogs in an all-round way and has become the most popular social networking site in the United States.

"What's the next award?"

Someone in the circle of friends was asking questions, and someone immediately replied, "Best Art Direction! "The Return of the King" has been shortlisted for this award!"

"Oh, the first award, I wonder if I can win a good start?"

"It's definitely possible, think about the nominated films, which one can surpass "The Return of the King" in the background?"

Seeing this, Brad Miller recalled the nomination for this award and couldn't help nodding his head. The gap between the other films nominated at the same time and "The Return of the King" is too obvious. If this award does not fall On the head of the Lord of the Rings, Oscar's most basic justice will be questioned.

At Brad Miller's age, even if he's not a Hollywood insider, he can see a lot of things.

On the TV screen, Angelina Jolie stepped onto the stage as the guest of honor, and she will present the first award related to "The Return of the King".

On live TV, Rope asked Roger Albert, "Roger, which film do you think this award will go to?"

"Rage of the Seas!" Roger Albert replied without hesitation, as if he could decide the attribution of the awards, and explained, "The Rage of the Seas uses more traditional sets. , and "The Return of the King" is more of a computer stunt, the former is more eligible for this award than the latter."

Angelina Jolie on the stage had come to the microphone, and the two immediately shut up.

"The job of an art director is to design and sketch everything on the screen that makes you believe you're on a racetrack, that you're in a hobbit house or a British ship, or even a samurai village in Japan..."

After speaking the routine string of words, Angelina Jolie said in coordination with the picture on the big screen of the stage, "The nominees for the best art direction are - "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" Hannah Serena, "Girl with a Pearl Earring" Ben Wanos and Cecil Heideman, "The Last Samurai" Lily Clevant, "The Age of Thrones" Jeanne Claudina, "Rage" William ?Heidel..."

Hearing the list of nominations read out, the place where The Lord of the Rings crew is located, the air seems to be a little stagnant, not only Hannah Serena, but also Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, Viggo Moore People like Tessen are a little nervous. After all, if the film wins a big victory, they will also have their share of the honor.

And a successful beginning often represents a happy ending! (To be continued..)
