[US Entertainment] Actor

At 5 p.m., the much-anticipated Oscars finally kicked off at the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles. This year's host is Ellen DeGeneres, a well-known gay female supporter in Hollywood. This is her first time hosting the Oscars.

Because of the inflexible style of work that is often criticized by the audience, Oscar always faces overwhelming criticism after the end of each gala. Oscar always racks his brains when choosing a host, hoping that the host can use his witty words to change the dull atmosphere of the scene. .However, for some reason, the hosts who always make shocking remarks on talk shows always seem to be stuck after encountering the Oscars. Jon Stewart or Whoopi Goldberg, who is full of bad words, not only did their hosts not bring much ratings to the Oscars that are eager to reform, but they also attracted rave reviews.

The selection of Ellen DeGeneres this year is also the result of multiple competitions within the academy.As a homosexual, the Academy was hesitant about whether she should appear on the solemn and sacred stage of the Oscars, but the choice of "Brokeback Mountain" in the past few years did give the Academy a taste of a lot of sweetness. Driven by this trend, Ellen · DeGeneres also successfully got the Oscar host tickets.

However, the audience may care about what fun the Oscar host will bring, but the actors only care about the attribution of the award. After all, a slightly more interesting line will indeed make the entire awards ceremony less boring-boring is certain, in the Academy No matter how talented the host is, he can't perform well in front of the set standard line and the prepared lines.

Ebert yawned to hide his tiredness.

This year, he was seated in the middle of the second row near the aisle, Leonardo happened to be placed next to him, and the second row was on the left side of the aisle on the other side was Forrest Whitaker. Behind Burt is Ryan Gosling, and a little farther away is Peter O'Toole.The seat arrangement of the award ceremony has always been very particular, the nominees of actor and actress and nominees and crews with hot nominations have always been the best, so that they can save a lot of time when they go to the stage to receive awards.

Raising his eyebrows at Leonardo opposite, Ebert stepped out his long legs and stuffed something into Leonardo's palm.

Leonardo spread out his hands, and there was a piece of candy lying quietly on it. It was the most common kind sold on the market. The candy wrappers were colorful and colorful, and the shape of the candy inside could only be seen clearly after being disassembled. However, Leon Nadeau remembered this brand, because Ebert always liked to eat a candy to decompress when he was stressed, and this brand of candy was his favorite to buy.

So he frowned, and approached Ebert before the party started: "A lot of pressure?"

Ebert shook his head: "It's just a little hungry, aren't you hungry?"

"Hold on even if you're hungry." Leonardo tore open the candy wrapper slowly, "I always think that the important reason why most actors can maintain a perfect figure is that they always want to attend parties like the Oscars."

Ebert squinted at him: "You don't want to?"

"I think, but the premise is that I don't serve as an accompanying runner." Leonardo said helplessly, "Now the company has already placed a bet. You and Whitaker have the lowest odds, and he is a little lower than you."

"That's a pity."

"Are you talking about the odds?" Ebert and Leonardo were chatting happily, and suddenly a head popped out from behind the seat, "I took a look before I went out today, and my odds are the highest, which are terribly high ...My biggest wish now is that the judges can give me the award in a brainstorming, so that I will definitely become a millionaire."

It was Ryan Gosling, who was also nominated, who was nominated for "Half Nelson". This guy was undoubtedly very excited to be nominated for the first Oscar in his life. Although he is recognized as the most unlikely nominee, his excitement Also beyond words.In the history of Oscar, Ryan Gosling is old enough to rank among the top ten actors among all the actors nominated for best actor. As long as he does not take plays indiscriminately in the future, his future must be smooth.

Ebert and Ryan Gosling were not familiar with each other before, but they met many times on different occasions during the awards season, and they were the same age, so the two gradually became acquainted.Although the two were compared by the media because they were both born in the 80s and were nominated for Oscars, the relationship between the two is actually pretty good in private, and they can chat with each other whenever they meet.

Ryan Gosling mainly takes the literary route, while Ebert is both commercial and literary. The cost of the films he starred in is relatively high, and the two do not overlap in terms of role types.

Ebert asked, "You bought it?"

"Of course!" Ryan Gosling spread his hands. "It's the first nomination. My mother and sister both bought it for thousands of dollars. It doesn't matter if you lose. Didn't you buy it?"

Ebert and Leonardo squeezed their eyes at the same time, showing a smile that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

Although Ebert is relatively introverted to the outside world, Leonardo is relatively public, but narcissism is a common hobby of the two, just as Ebert can let himself step on the ground with his messy hair in pajamas and bare feet in private, But every time he goes out, he must dress up as if he will appear on the cover of a fashion magazine in a second. Leonardo always laughs at his habit, but Ebert himself insists that this is "appearance self-confidence". Leonardo is similar, but his way of expression is different from Ebert's. Before falling in love with Ebert, his narcissistic way was to pay for parties and pick up hot girls. After falling in love with Ebert, his narcissism The way to fall in love is to show off your intermittent abs and rapidly improving acting skills.

From this point of view, Oscar is not harsh.

In the history of Oscars, there are indeed actors with outstanding talents who won awards at a young age, such as Anna Paquin who won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the age of 12, but Anna Paquin's development was not particularly smooth afterwards, although in "X "Men" series and the TV series "True Blood" played an important role, but compared with her achievements in winning the statuette at a young age, her current situation actually somewhat failed that precious trophy.

Leonardo belongs to the type of actor who is addicted halfway but insists on rising, and let the strict academy judges see his hard work and progress.

With "The Aviator" and "Blood Diamond", he won two Oscar nominations, and the time interval is not too long. Compared with actors of his age, such achievements are already quite outstanding.

So the two not only bought bets to bet on themselves to win the lottery, but also bought a lot. Not only did they buy it themselves, they also threatened their brokers and friends to buy it.

In Leonardo's words: "This is the power of ideas. Our ideas are sent to God. Everyone who buys me hopes that I can win. God will feel it."

Ebert didn't know about others, but Lynn really hoped that Ebert would win the prize, because the agent was very reluctant when he was forced to buy a lottery: "I still remember the few times you lost a few years ago. Thousands of dollars, you bastard."

Ebert was very helpless: "Maybe God knows you are the one who really wants to make money. My fortune is not as bad as yours."

In 2007, Ebert still grasped the dynamics of the next few years. At least the technology companies and new industries he invested in the past few years have made a lot of money. Although he rarely ranks among the top three in the Hollywood income list, Coupled with the income from his investment, he definitely has a place among the richest stars in Hollywood.

Even Leonardo made a lot of money by investing with him.

While the three were chatting, the stage slowly opened, and the discussion on the scene disappeared without a trace. Leonardo and Ryan Gosling both returned to their original positions, watching Ellen DeGeneres appearing on the stage solemnly. on the stage.

In terms of appearance, Ellen DeGeneres actually belongs to the intellectual category. As a talk show host, her most successful part is that as long as she stands there, the audience can't help laughing.

As a nominee, Ebert was severely teased at the beginning of the award ceremony. When Ebert was teased, Leonardo winked and was very happy, but in the blink of an eye, Ellen DeGeneres He pointed the gunfire at him: "Leonardo DiCaprio, a diamond dealer in Sierra Leone, there are so many female friends at the scene, do you have enough diamonds?"

"Of course!" Leonardo made a mouth shape while making a gesture of begging for mercy.

After the awards ceremony started, the Best Art Direction Award was awarded first, which was a bit different from previous years, where the Best Supporting Actor Award was often awarded first.Ebert noticed that Mark Wahlberg, who was sitting next to him, seemed less nervous than the Golden Globes, and he sighed helplessly.

In a way, the announcement of the Oscars can almost be said to be a moment of life and death.

It only takes a few minutes from the moment when the award presenter walks onto the stage to when the award is awarded. It is great to win the award, but for the actors who did not win the award, just a few minutes wiped out their months of hard work during the entire awards season. And no one cares.

Even for the best art direction, the Oscars invited big names. Actress Nicole Kidman and 007 Daniel Craig jointly presented this award. The award-winning film was the magical film "Pan's Labyrinth".

Speaking of which, although he has been nominated for 3 Oscars, Ebert has never stood on the stage of the Kodak Theater. Although the Oscars have invited him to be an award presenter, he always has to choose to refuse due to time conflicts.

After the award for Best Art Direction, Maggie Gyllenhaal took to the stage to introduce one of the winners for their contributions to the Hollywood film industry, followed by a brief performance.

In fact, the performances at the Oscars are all top-notch. After all, this is a grand event where Hollywood stars gather, but maybe the occasion is too grand, and the singers and actors participating in the performance will always appear to perform abnormally. The most important thing is that, apart from the TV Before the audience who had no burden, every nominee who appeared on the scene was full of thoughts, and there were not many people who really paid attention to the performance.
