Chapter 810 Oscar Leaks

As we all know, the ratings of the Academy Awards Ceremony have hit new lows in recent years. This year, the School of Film Arts and Sciences and the Oscar Organizing Committee have spent a lot of money to build the most luxurious crystal stage ever, aiming to capture people's attention visually. According to news from Ryan, the stage design of the 81st Academy Awards Ceremony designed by Broadway set master David Rockwell was decorated with 92,000 Swarovski crystals to form a spectacular "crystal waterfall" to create a fairy tale-like world.

This year's Oscar Organizing Committee not only has a new stage decoration, but also boldly reforms in specific ratings. During the gaps in the awards ceremony, the Organizing Committee will follow the example of the "Super Bowl" and intensively play the upcoming Hollywood blockbusters to win more attention and get more advertising fees.

The organizing committee also specially added interactive links to exert the enthusiasm of the audience.

In addition, the ever-conservative Academy of Film Arts and Sciences has rarely been opened. A week before the award ceremony, it joined forces with many media to conduct a huge publicity and hype.

Of course, the academy represents the authority of the film industry, so it is naturally impossible to create inferior gossip news to attract attention.

Therefore, the goal of the key hype is the highlights of this award ceremony.

For example, can a handsome host become a "killer" for young women?

In order to save the ratings of recent awards ceremony, the Oscar Organizing Committee has worked hard on the host. Australian male star and recognized as the world's sexy man "Wolverine" Hugh Jack Man will host this awards ceremony. The Oscar Organizing Committee has set up a "beautiful man plan" this time, hoping that more older female audiences can drive family members to watch the awards ceremony and stimulate the audience.

At least from the perspective of publicity effects, the public is still full of expectations for Hugh Jack Man's hosting.

For example, can Meryl Streep set a new Oscar record?

Meryl Streep, who has been nominated for Oscar for the fifteenth time, broke the record held by Catherine Hepburn and set the highest Oscar nomination, but only two Oscar winners have won the Little Golden Man so far, and there is still a big gap with four-time winner Katherine Hepburn.

If Meryl Streep can really win back the Little Golden Man as the media thinks, she will be recorded in history again and become one of the few actresses to win three Oscars.

It is undeniable that Meryl Streep is the best actress with the best acting skills today, at least one of the top three or four people.

For example, can Nicole Kidman win the Oscar for the third time as she wishes?

Like Natalie last year, Nicole swept the Best Actress Award in some awards including the Golden Globes and the Actors Union Awards. If she wins the award for the third time, she can at least surpass Meryl Streep in terms of the number of young gold.

This world is very realistic. The Uncrowned King will never be as good as those who have many honors and awards, otherwise Hollywood actors and directors will not go crazy for the Oscars.

For example, can gay videos win the Oscar again?

Even after "Brokeback Mountain", society became more tolerant of the issue of coming out, homosexual themes are still a more sensitive topic. Oscars will not discriminate against homosexuality, at least on the surface. The homosexual film "Milke" won many important awards such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, etc. The former bad boy Sean Pan and "Milke" carried the hope of the homosexual community once again and embarked on the Oscar path.

For example, can Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie both win awards?

Pete and Julie, the tall couple, were nominated for Best Actor and Actress for "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button" and "The Strange Things of Son". If they both win the award at the same time, it would definitely be an alternative record for the Oscars.

Unfortunately, this is just a hype that the academy has taken out. Even the most confused people understand that the chance of winning this pair is infinitely close to zero.

For example, who will be the most beautiful actress on the red carpet?

This is a topic that the academy has compiled. After all, every Oscar red carpet is the audience who are fighting openly and secretly.

Also, in order to attract attention, the college did not even let the dead go.

Although there was no "Batman" and no "The Crazy Character," Heath Ledger still reached the end of his life, and another mentally ill role he played was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor. Just like in his previous life, he almost booked this little golden man with his advantage of losing.

Hollywood has never minded making money. From the crew of the film "The Third Type" he starred in to the Oscar Organizing Committee, they are hyping up Heath Ledger's death in order to make a profit.

Of course, there is nothing worth sympathizing with such people. No Hollywood first-line actor is less stressful than Heath Ledger. There are many ways to vent his stress. Since Heath,...

Just like Ruifan? Even though there are some reasons behind their agency and public relations team, this path is their own choice.

Although the media sighed as much as Rhodion Phoenix died, it was just because the public liked to see these things. In fact, few people in Hollywood really care about it, and even those actors who are similar to Heath Ledger will breathe a sigh of relief, after all, there is no strong competitor since then.

As for the best supporting actor, from judges to competitors to ordinary audiences, no one minds giving it to a dead person. After all, even if the other party wins the award, it will not bring any surprises or threats in the future.

It can be said that in order to save the Oscar's ratings that have been declining year by year, the college and the organizing committee are really planning to fight.

You should know that in the past, the Oscars were basically the second and third-third-scoring programs in the United States. Except for the Super Bowl - no programs or events can compete with it - there are almost no real opponents, but the decline in ratings and viewership crowds in recent years has made the entire Hollywood feel a crisis.

Promotion, hype, and throwing eye-catching booing are the only way to increase ratings.

Of course, if the college is willing to consider the movies with a hot box office in important awards, the ratings will definitely not be a problem, but unfortunately the college will not do this easily.

From another perspective, the decline in Oscar ratings is also inseparable from the academy's increasingly conservative and niche choices.

Perhaps the college felt that the highlights were not attractive enough, or perhaps it was just media hype. Just two days before the award ceremony, shocking news that the Oscar winners list was leaked online.

On this list, "The Slums Millionaire" will win three awards: Best Movie, Best Director and Best Photography; while another popular movie "The Strange Things of Benjamin Button" only won two technical awards: Best Costume Design and Best Makeup; in terms of actor awards, Brad Pitt lost to his rival Mickey Locke and missed the Best Actor, while Nicole Kidman will defeat Meryl Streep for "Weaknesses" to win the Oscar.

The list also claims to have the signature of the new college rotating chairman Sidney Ganess. Amy Adams will win the Best Supporting Actress Award, while the Best Supporting Actor Award belongs to the Dead Heath Ledger. The winner of the Best Director Award is Danny Bowie, the director of "The Millionaire in the Slums".

Many media were in an uproar, and Disney received a mysterious call from some people and began to hype the incident with other entertainment media. Many media collectively asked on the eye-catching page - Is there a time when the highly confidential Oscar winners' list is leaked?

It is certain that the School of Film Arts and Sciences came out to refute the rumors.

"This list is absolutely fake," Leslie Unger, spokesman for the School of Film Arts and Sciences, responded in an interview with the media. "PwC is still conducting the final statistics on the voting. Only two people will know the ownership of the award before the award results are announced. The college will not inform the winners of the results in advance, and will not issue such a list of winners."

Generally speaking, Oscar leaks are almost impossible.

The Oscar selection is a rigorous process. The famous accounting firm PwC is responsible for supervising the selection and vote counting process. Since they took over the Oscar counting work, there has been no leak.

After the ballots are recycled, PwC will send two trustworthy vote counting supervisors to supervise a team to conduct the final counting in a secret place until the winners come out and divide into two envelope bags.

Only these two supervisors knew the final selection results. On the night of the award ceremony, the two people took two cars to the Kodak Theater on different routes to prevent them from encountering traffic jams and other unexpected situations at the same time. The whole process seemed foolproof.

However, only the rotating chairman of the college and the rotating committee of this term know whether there is any trick in it.

Perhaps, the big guys of the academy saw a fake list online and deliberately wanted to take advantage of the situation to hype it up to increase the attractiveness of this Oscars; or perhaps, this list was faked by them, deliberately adding topics to the media and the public...

You should know that there is no truly convincing conclusion yet that the theft of the Little Golden Man at the beginning of the new millennium has so far.

At Ryan's instructions, Disney's media fully cooperated with the academy's actions. He has never been a rebellious or unconventional person. The thing he considers the most.

This year's Oscar, Disney only has the best public relations award, "Weakness", which is the key PR award. As for the best film, "Weakness"'s box office in North America, which is constantly rising to $300 million, is one of the biggest obstacles to winning the award.

In most cases, high box office is the killer of important Oscar awards. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
