[US Entertainment] Actor

On January 1, the long overdue Oscar finally announced the nomination list.

A total of five films were selected for the best picture, "Babel", "The Departed", "Little Miss Sunshine", "The Queen" and "Letters from Iwo Jima". There was no Best Picture nomination at all, only Eddie Murphy and Jennifer Hudson continued their strength throughout the awards season and continued to lead the supporting actor category.

"The Departed" was shortlisted for 6 awards including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Editing. Unsurprisingly, Ebert was once again shortlisted for the best actor category. Leonardo DiCaprio received his second Best Actor Oscar nomination for his performance in "Blood Diamond."In addition to the two, Forrest Whitaker, Peter O'Toole and Ryan Gosling were shortlisted for the best actor category. Will Smith, who tried the tender route in "When Happiness Knocks", did not. He won the favor of the judges, but unfortunately missed his second best actor nomination.

Once the nomination list was announced, it immediately aroused an upsurge of discussion in Hollywood.The Golden Globe awards ceremony was described by the media as "chaos". In fact, the list of nominations for the Oscars is not much better. Martin Scorsese is a tragic role in the Oscars. In fact, he had several sympathy votes at the beginning of this year's Oscars.Clint Eastwood's performance is as stable as ever. Although his "Million Dollar Baby" has already won an Oscar, but this time "Letters from Iwo Jima" is still an eye-catching masterpiece.

"Little Miss Sunshine" represents the victory of independent films. The current chairman Sid Ganesh has been committed to promoting the development of independent low-budget films since he took office. This is why films such as "Crash" and "Little Miss Sunshine" are so popular. As a result of a trend, it is therefore not out of the question that the little ship Little Miss Sunshine will overwhelm such giants as The Departed, based on Sid Gannis' consistent taste and the style the Academy has upheld since he took office. matter.

"Tiantian Tower" gathered the first-line big names such as Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett. The director Alejandro Gonzalez was crowned the best director of the Oscar twice in later generations. Although his reputation is now Not too high, but since his previous work, "Love Is a Bitch," was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film, his development in Hollywood has gradually smoothed out.The movie itself is also very good, with a complex plot, 4 completely different stories, and the movie's control of the rhythm is top-notch.

Among the five shortlisted films, only "The Queen" starring Helen Mirren is slightly inferior in momentum. This film is completely Helen Mirren's showcase, and its plot and theme are slightly inferior to the other four films.

These four films combine police violence, ordinary families, complicated marriages and war history, and their styles are completely opposite. Therefore, after the Oscar nomination list was announced, the media and film critics called this Oscar the most confusing one. , no film has an absolute advantage, and no actor can dominate.

Compared with his biggest competitor, Forrest Whitaker, Ebert's biggest advantage lies in the excellence of the movie "The Departed". "The Last Dictator" was not shortlisted for best picture and best director. Whittaker's performance is more dependent on the film, and being one step behind in the best picture competition means that not all judges can see his performance, which is undoubtedly a great pity.

On January 1, the 28th Screen Actors Guild Awards opened in North America.As the most important award after the Golden Globes and before the Oscars, the Screen Actors Guild Awards are no less important than the Golden Globes. It is more professional than the Golden Globes. The global influence is far from being comparable to the Golden Globes.

The Screen Actors Guild Award is also an award Ebert has high hopes for.

If he can win the Screen Actors Guild Award, he still has 50% chance of winning the Oscar. Traveling is just empty talk.

"Pray to God it must be me this time."

A suit fell from behind on top of Ebert's head: "Poor Ebert, have you been driven crazy by the bad results of the first two days? If you usually believe in God, God may give you some Preferential treatment, but you are a guy who doesn't believe in God at all, believe me, God will not help you."

"Get out, you crow mouth!" Ebert rolled his eyes, "Lynn, if you say that again, I will fire you the next second."

"Discriminatory treatment, a guy who is ungrateful." Mr. Manager handed the shirt to Ebert, "Put on your hypocritical skin and go to deceive those young and ignorant judges."

The venue of the Screen Actors Guild Awards is naturally not as grand as the Golden Globe Awards, but because the organizer is the largest actor organization in Hollywood, and the judges are also professionals, the nominated actors and guests took the initiative to come to the venue to win Oscars for themselves Award for adding one more chip.

In fact, according to past practice, the overlap between the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Oscars is higher.Last year's Screen Actors Guild Awards and Oscars overlapped in the Best Actor and Best Actor divisions. The year before last, the Screen Actors Guild Awards awarded Best Actor to Johnny Depp, but it was Sean Penn who finally won the Oscar. But in the supporting actor and actress awards, The Screen Actors Guild and the Oscars are on the same page.

"I thought you would come a little later than me. Sure enough, I was in a hurry." Leonardo patted Ebert's shoulder lightly, "How about it, how sure are you?"

"Want to hear the secrets? I refuse." Ebert showed a hearty smile, turned to Leonardo's shoulders, and let the reporters on both sides of the red carpet pat the two of them back and forth.After more than 6 years, Ebert is already a 27-year-old man. Compared with the pure handsomeness of previous years, he now has more charm of a mature man, and his gestures are full of charm. Facing the reporter's camera, he is not stage frightened either. With his tall stature, slender figure, and God-given appearance, he easily grabs everyone's attention and becomes the focus of the audience.

A reporter was busy changing the film and muttered: "I really don't know what those female readers think, they seem to go crazy when they see Albert Dawson, they don't care about the result of next year's general election, and they don't care about our future. The president came out of which garbage dump, but they are willing to save money for a guy with only face."

"If there is only face, he should appear on the stage of the Teen Choice Awards. At least he can be nominated for an Oscar. Albert Dawson is still very capable."

"Yeah, if Albert Dawson can really win the Best Actor Award, I don't know anything else, but there will definitely be the most handsome actor in Oscar history." The reporter browsed the photos just taken, and quickly deleted "Didn't the Oscars insist on reforms in recent years? Anyway, no matter who they choose, they will be scolded. It's better to choose Albert Dawson. At least his face will make a bunch of female fans rush to the war. Frontline, so that Oscar can win people's hearts without worrying about being scolded by his fans."

While these journalists were talking, behind them, an associate editor and senior female reporter of a magazine gave them a cold glance: "In your opinion, doesn't being handsome represent strength? On the contrary, the appearance is that of Eber. Dawson is the burden of crowning Oscar winner, his strength is far more than that. Instead of choosing a few ugly guys for several years in a row, I would rather the Oscar organizing committee choose Albert Dawson, at least in watching I don’t have the urge to switch channels during the live broadcast.”

Among the Oscar winners selected in recent years, apart from Adrien Brody, who is recognized as a handsome actor, Sean Penn, Philip Seymour Hoffman and others are indeed not outstanding in appearance.

"You know, ugly guys are ugly in their own way, but handsome guys always have a lot in common."

Bickering with women is the most unwise thing to do. The male reporters who were gossiping just now shut up and concentrated on taking pictures.Despite the verbal complaints, they gave Ebert more shots when the photo was taken.

As a reporter, sales and bonuses are linked.

The award setting of the Screen Actors Guild Awards is also very simple. There are only five awards in the film department, Best Actor and Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Collective Performance Award. Practitioners in every profession in Hollywood have their own unions, such as directors union, The screenwriters' union, they will also award their favorite awards during the awards season, but usually they are within the scope of the union's blame. The directors' union will only award director awards, not actor awards.

The nominees for the Best Actor category of the Screen Actors Guild Awards this year are exactly the same as the nominees for the Oscar winner, and the awards will be announced soon.

"The Screen Actors Guild Award goes to Albert Dawson for The Departed, congratulations!"

Even though the guests at the scene were all union members, and even though the place was far less star-studded than the Golden Globes, Ebert still pursed his lips and suppressed the urge to cry as he took the trophy from the presenter.

This is a difficult year, and this is a difficult awards season. From the moment the list of Golden Globes was announced, Ebert felt that he was holding a breath in his heart. If he didn't vent it in time, he might really will go crazy.

But now, at this moment, the trophy is firmly in his hands. Although the shape of this trophy is not as gorgeous as the statuette, for Ebert, this trophy is the most timely salvation.

This trophy tells him that his hard work will be seen and rewarded.

Ebert was content.
