Chapter 1577 "Shakespeare in Love"
[PS: I'm very sorry, my home has been out of power for a day today, and I only called at 8 o'clock in the evening. Finally, I only wrote two chapters and will be added in the next two days. I'm very sorry!]
The Oscars organizing committee also wants to save face. After their first invitation was rejected, of course, it is impossible for them to invite each other again. The Oscars organizing committee cannot afford to lose this face.
Therefore, the audience saw that since 1951, it can be said that it was the dimest Oscar party, with almost 13 first-tier stars around the world did not attend.
Only 13 top-level stars attended, because top-level stars are bound to make commercial blockbusters, and the chances of commercial blockbusters winning the Golden Dragon Award are very high. In the face of tens of millions of dollars in prize money, top stars cannot refuse this temptation.
Even if these stars can refuse, the companies and crew behind them cannot refuse. In short, no one will be unable to get along with the money.
However, the entire Oscar Auditorium was still full of people. It was impossible for the Oscar Organizing Committee to sit and see that there was an empty space in its auditorium.
Since these stars are unwilling to come, Oscars must lower their attitude and invite some stars who they originally didn't like.
And those second-tier or third-tier stars who were not very fond of it would naturally not miss this opportunity to be on the Oscar stage, and they did not have the chance to win the Golden Dragon Award anyway.
In short, the 1999 Oscar dinner and award ceremony were still very lively. In order to reflect this kind of lively, the organizing committee told those who refused to recognize the stars that if you don’t come, we can have a better life, so the organizing committee rarely raised the standards of the party.
Even the final Oscar dinner raised the standard by $1,000 per table, which is indeed the highest Oscar party ever in terms of hardware conditions.
But some smart people still smelled a lot of crises from it. After all, no matter how good the hardware conditions of the Oscar party are, it is not as important as software like the stars who come to attend the party.
And the most important point is that when all the Oscars were awarded this year, a greater sense of dissatisfaction and doubt began to spread between the audience and professional filmmakers.
Because the final result of this year's Oscars has made many people unbelievable, or to a somewhat outrageous level.
The most prominent ones are the movie "Save Private Ryan" and the Academy Award for Best Picture. After all the movies were released in 1998, all filmmakers knew very well that there were only two movies qualified to compete for Best Picture, one is "Beautiful Life" and the other is "Save Private Ryan".
Although from the perspective of later generations, one is a tragedy-selling film invested by Jews, and the other is a great main theme film of the United States. If such a movie is placed in China, if you don’t give you a Douban score of less than 7.0 points, you will be very awesome.
However, in 1999, this was definitely the most appreciated film in Hollywood and the highest artistic achievements. It is the only two Oscar-best competitor to the best film.
However, when the Oscar nominations in 1999 were announced, everyone was shocked. Because of the attention, the film "Save the Soldier Ryan", which was considered to be the uncrowned king, was completely defeated and no one film nomination was obtained.
You know, even though the biggest failure of the year, "Titanic", ended up winning only one award, the other party was nominated for more than a dozen film awards.
But this time, "Save Private Ryan" has not received a nomination for an award.
In fact, it is not just "Save Soldier Ryan", but also movies that are quite impressive, such as "The World of Truman", "The Peerless Heavenly Tribulation", "The Peak Moment", "The Great Collision of Heaven and Earth", and "Godzilla".
These movies were nominated for an Oscar, so the industry was shocked just when the nomination movie was announced.
Of course, they all knew later that the reason why these movies were not even qualified to be nominated was that the main members of these movies attended the award ceremony of the Imperial Capital International Film Festival.
So it seems that Oscars directly erased all the nominations, which is a very reasonable thing, after all, it is a competitor.
But this still makes many filmmakers complain.
Because as an opponent, the Imperial Capital International Film Festival, although they directly regard the Oscars as competitors, they are very generous. Even if the person does not come, whether it is nomination or final awards, they are strictly awarded according to the results of the audience voting. There is no intention of not giving you awards just because you participated in the Oscars.
Of course, although the prizes will not be awarded to them, the prizes do not represent honor, and the Golden Dragon Award trophy that truly represents honor is always awarded genuinely.
From this point of view, the Imperial Capital International Film Festival surpassed the Oscars in terms of demeanor and justice.
In this regard, the Oscar Organizing Committee is actually very regretful in its heart, because they are not as generous as Daqian, and can give out huge prizes and then award the trophy and prizes separately. This not only ensures fairness, but also makes the winners unable to refuse.
But the Oscar only has such a trophy honor, and the prize is never available. And even if the Oscar Organizing Committee wants to get the prize, it will only cost about hundreds of thousands of dollars at most. Compared with the prize of tens of millions of dollars at the lowest cost of tens of millions of dollars, it is simply a complete joke.
They were ridiculed by everyone, so it would be better not to do it. But in this way, they lost the fact that they both maintain fairness and the threat to the stars.
If all the films participating in the Imperial Capital International Film Festival awards are understandable, then the emergence of the film "Sharmony Love History" is unacceptable.
After "Save Private Ryan" was banned by the Oscar, the only movie that can win the best film in everyone's heart is "Beautiful Life".
Even if "Beautiful Life" falls unexpectedly, it should be an excellent film such as "The Thin Red Line", "The World of Truman" and "Elizabeth".
But the best film ended up falling on "The Love History of Shawn".
Although this movie is not too bad, at least much better than "Tiny Times" or "Jade Trace", it is just stronger than these movies. At most, it is a medium-sized film and has no comparison with other competitors.
But such a work eventually won the Best Picture Award, and the film won 13 nominations and finally won 9 awards, becoming a well-deserved super winner of the 1999 Oscar.
But after such a super winner was released, it brought endless ridicule to the Oscars.
"That year, "Titanic" won 16 nominations but failed. Today, "Shawn Love History" won nine major awards, which fully proves that "Shawn Love History" is a film that far surpasses "Titanic".
"If Mr. Shakespeare knew about a movie that was made up and arranged for him to win the Oscar for Best Picture, he would be very pleased!"
"The result made me feel extremely disgusting. I swear, I will never pay attention to any Oscar-related news again!"
"Originally, I felt very sympathetic to Oscars and was tortured by a rich man so much, but now, I just think Oscars are disgusting. When they are treated injustice, they should announce more just results. This is what Oscars should do, instead of treating us as fools!"
