"'Independence Day' officially ends!"

"Twentieth Century Fox: Everything went well for'Independence Day' and it will be released on July 4th as originally planned."

"Hugo Lancaster is officially determined to attend the Oscars ceremony that will kick off this weekend!"

"Hugo: It is my honor to be able to attend the Academy Awards. I am very willing to join this carnival."

"The 68th Oscar will be unveiled soon: Hugo is sure to attend!"

...

With the closing of "Independence Day", all the news became lively in an instant, with reports from major newspapers and magazines flooding in. It was only then that people realized that the Oscars ceremony, which had been thought to have to wait for a while, had been silently. Is here. Suddenly, the topic of Oscar was noisy.

Compared with the troika of "Pulp Fiction", "Forrest Gump", and "Shawshank's Redemption" that went hand in hand last year, all the attention this year was focused on the acting department, the most important being the overall quality of the film. The decline was too obvious, and the competitiveness of the script, director and other departments has also declined.

The "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" leading the nomination stage, the "Sense and Emotion" and "Pig Baby" that have attracted much attention at other award ceremonies before, and the topical "Death Row" and "The Postman" "Far from the gambling city", these works do not have the ability to sweep the army in terms of influence or the work itself, and the overall strength is slightly inferior. The overall momentum is quite short compared to last year. .

However, the competition for the four major awards in the acting department has undoubtedly created countless eyeball effects, especially after experiencing the list of winners referred to by the Golden Globe Award, where the four Oscars in the acting department will go has become the hottest topic. Especially with regard to Hugo's prospects at this year's Oscars, even reporters who are members of the entertainment circle are no exception.

When Nicholas McLenna entered the media center, he saw a group of colleagues gathered together, each holding a cup of coffee in his hand, arguing about something fiercely, Nicholas raised his eyebrows, and then headed toward the "Los Angeles Times" workspace. The direction took a step forward.

Tomorrow is the Oscars ceremony. Today, almost all media from all over the world gathered in the media center in Dorothy Chandler Hall to prepare for tomorrow’s live broadcast, which can accommodate more than a thousand journalists working here at the same time.

"Hey, Nick." A voice rang, Nicholas followed the voice and looked over, and he saw James Rattle standing on the side. The American Weekly’s workshop was on the right hand side of the entrance, "How is it outside? Is the protest still going on?"

Nicholas shook his head, "It has been evacuated. I heard that it is going to the broadcasting facility of the subsidiary-tv."

As the Oscars approached, all topics began to warm up. Starting yesterday, a black priest named Jesse Jackson (jesse.) led the radical group Rainbow Alliance (.) to conduct protests. Jesse is a well-known leader of the black movement and is hailed by many as another leader after Martin Luther King.

This time, Jesse organized a protest against the problems faced by African Americans and other minorities in the film industry. They believe that the outspoken portrayal of minorities in movies and TV needs to be adjusted, and the entertainment industry The employment ratio of minority groups in China is too low. In this year’s Oscar nominations, Dianne Houston (.), who was nominated for the live-action short film award, is the only African-American nominated. This shows that minorities are in The terrible situation in Hollywood.

However, this situation is not limited to Hollywood, in fact, it is true throughout the United States, and discrimination exists in all aspects. Jessie just wanted to use platforms like Oscar to promote her ideas. So the media didn't worry too much.

James nodded and changed the subject, "How about, are you sure when Hugo will appear on the red carpet tomorrow?"

But before Nicholas could answer, someone nearby shouted, "Hey, Nick, you said, do you choose the "Seven Deadly Sins" or the "Death Row"?"

After this sound rang in the noisy media center, it attracted the attention of a large number of people in an instant. The circle of people who had gathered to drink coffee and argued quickly walked over and surrounded Nicholas, babbling. Arguing tongues. Nicholas couldn't help but chuckle. He wondered how these colleagues got together, because they were all gossip.

Obviously, for every ordinary audience in the United States, this is the ultimate problem: Which of Hugo's performance in "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Death Row" is better?

"I choose'Death Convict Walk', you know." Nicholas said with a smile without hesitation.

No, Nicholas just said a word, and there was a crackling and quarrel around him, it was so lively. "But Hugo's performance in the'Seven Deadly Sins' is so amazing, it makes Brad look like a wooden stake." "Even Morgan was eclipsed in front of Hugo." "But watching Hugo and Susan Biao play, that It’s amazing! The performance in'Death Row’ is absolutely unmatched!" "Do you support Brad's victory over Hugo? This is ridiculous!"...

James saw the smile on Nicholas’ face and he laughed, "They have been arguing for almost 30 minutes." Obviously he has heard a lot just now, and this question is a matter of opinion. It is estimated that everyone will have their own opinions. The choice, which is also the most difficult part, shows that Hugo has contributed an amazing performance in these two works, "So,'death prisoner's walk'? Huh?"

"Why, do you support the'Seven Deadly Sins'?" Nicholas asked rhetorically.

James shook his head, "No, I'm just worried. It is really too difficult to choose between'Death Row' and the'Seven Deadly Sins'. It is even more difficult than whether it is Forrest Gump or Pulp Fiction. It’s all difficult. I’m worried that the college judges will not be able to make a decision. This will cause a serious division of votes and ultimately nothing."

"Sometimes, being too good is also a bad thing." Nicholas said with a small smile.

If Hugo didn’t get double nomination for acting, and just won a nomination in Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor, then the result is obvious. No matter which award it is, Hugo is absolutely outstanding and able to relax. Included in the bag. The breathtaking performances of the three works "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row" are enough to form a strong word-of-mouth power, allowing Hugo to easily win the competition for that award.

But now the college has given Hugo double nominations. This shows that even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has affirmed Hugo’s performance; but on the other hand, it has given this problem to every college. The judges, it is conceivable that the voting crisis has reached an unprecedented height.

"I support Hugo in taking a supporting actor, and then the actor will give Nicholas Cage..." Suddenly a voice came out, but there was no time to say the following words, which triggered another fierce debate.

"I also support Cage, his performance in "Far from Casino" is really outstanding!" "Yes, yes, I was watching autobiography when I was watching the movie. Cage's performance completely shocked me! "Cage's performance this time is simply impossible to replicate" "I can sink endlessly without expression, please, I can also do it well or not, everyone can do it, without any technical content" "The true performance is also a kind of performance. , Don’t you know? It’s just as exciting!” “Even in terms of hard power, Cage is more than two blocks worse than Hugo, not to mention the fact that'Away from Casino' is not as good as'Death Row's Walk'”...

There were a lot of disputes that made people unable to hear the words themselves, "Nick, what about you? Do you think it should be Hugo defeating Cage?"

"Of course, it has always been the case." The named Nicholas did not hesitate at all. "Don't tell me how outstanding Cage's performance is. After you watch Hugo's soul-shocking performance, all the compliments to Cage are Pale as ****. As for Hugo’s previous outstanding performances, I will not list them one by one, lest I speak of thirsty."

These are reporters, relying on their pens and mouths to eat. At this time, they are not public statements published in the newspapers, but their own private discussions, and each of them is very sharp. When Nicholas said this, some people were dissatisfied again.

"I don't think that Hugo is better than Cage. The performance of two people can only be a tie at best!" "Kaiqi is truly outstanding, and his breakthrough is more difficult than Hugo." "You are a personal emotional color ~ www .wuxiaspot.com~Unfair or objective" "You should really look at "Away from Casino"" "Then you saw you fell asleep, didn't you?"...

The last conversation suddenly emerged from the noise, everyone heard it, and then everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, people walked into the media center one after another, and they saw the discussion circle of at least 30 people in front of them. They were unwilling to squeeze in. After hearing the topic of discussion, some people laughed. Hehe turned and left, and then argued with the people around him; some stood on the periphery of the encirclement and discussed lowly with those around him; others walked directly to the middle and said loudly Coming out of my own thoughts:

"Why everyone is talking about Hugo and Cage, I think Richard Dreyfus should get the prize." Amidst the laughter, a voice seriously explained that everyone was stunned. The person involved seemed to take it for granted, “Why look at me so strangely, as long as you are a nominee, you can hope to win, don’t you? I think Richard’s performance this time is very wonderful, he deserves the second Oscar. people."

Indeed, this is the Oscar, and every nominee is a competitor. This is also the biggest variable in the awards ceremony. With the approach of the Oscar, the whole Los Angeles is lively, and countless discussions are coming, making the City of Angels instantly become the focus. In the focus.
