Highlights of the ceremony of the 75th Academy Awards

Tall and thin, handsome, like al pacino when he was young, and amazing acting talent, Adrian Brody became the youngest winner in Oscar history at the age of "standing".

Adrian was born in new york on April 14th, 1973, and he was determined to be a "great actor" since he was a child. His mother, Plech, a famous photographer, took a fancy to her son's acting talent and encouraged him to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. In 1993, Adrian appeared in King of the Hills directed by Soderberg, and his outstanding performance made him land on the big screen smoothly. Since then, he has participated in the filming of Baseball Angel, Black Street Killer and Sweet Shirt. In 21, Adrian was nominated for the best actor in the Independent Spirit Award for "The Restaurant". Later, he also starred in Sam's Summer directed by black director Spike Lee, Fast kill array directed by Richard Shepard, and The Flying Age by barry levinson, thus becoming one of the first-class stars.

Adrian was invited by the great director roman polanski to star in the epic The Pianist. His solid performance moved the gentle hero deeply. In order to shoot this film, he "gave up everything", practiced piano for four hours every day and lost 3 pounds. Such efforts have finally paid off handsomely. Adrian has won the final affirmation of French Caesar, British Oscar, Golden Globe Award and even Oscar, which has pushed the performing arts career to the peak.

The most controversial figure in this year's Oscar ceremony is probably the French Polish director roman polanski. In the international film world, he is known as the "film black prince". In English, "black" contains dark, obscure, gloomy, pessimistic and mysterious meanings at the same time, and each meaning seems to apply to Polanski.

Polanski was born in Paris. When he was 3 years old, he moved to Krakow, Poland with his parents. His mother died in Auschwitz concentration camp. He was said to have been used as a live target by Nazi soldiers to practice shooting. After the war, Polanski studied at the Polish National Film Academy in Lodz. In 1962, he made his debut novel "Knife in the Water" and won the critic award at the Venice Film Festival. Soon, Polanski went to Hollywood to develop, and the Devil's Baby directed in 1968 was a great success, which had a far-reaching impact on Hollywood horror films in the future. The following year, Polanski's soon-to-be-born wife was brutally killed by a cult in her Hollywood home. Two years later, Polanski put Shakespeare's Macbeth on the screen, a more depressed, gloomy and lonely Macbeth. Many people think that he integrated his inner pain into the interpretation of this character.

In p>1974, Polanski jumped to the top of his career with Chinatown. The film won 12 nominations for the annual Oscar, but only won the "Best Original Screenplay" award in the end. In 1977, Polanski had an improper sexual relationship with a 13-year-old girl at the home of his good friend Jack Nicholson, and then he faced jail. Polanski fled to Paris and never set foot on American soil again. For fear of extradition, he even avoided filming in Britain, and even the previous "British Oscar" award ceremony, he didn't dare to attend in person.

9: a.m. on March 22nd, Los Angeles time:

Renaissance Hotel and Kodak Theatre are closely connected through several passages, so many people will pass through the hotel when they enter and leave Kodak Theatre, and the press center and backstage interview room of the organizers of the Academy Awards are also located in the hotel. At that time, the winners will enter the hotel interview room through a secret passage and be interviewed by journalists from various countries waiting there.

The press center is located on the third floor of the hotel. All journalists invited by the organizers of the Oscar must report in the press center first and get relevant materials and interview certificates. In order to prevent counterfeiting, the news center stipulates that all journalists must be present in person, take their passports, national ID cards or driver's licenses and invitations to collect materials from relevant personnel, and then take digital photos on the spot and make interview cards. The organizers have repeatedly stated in advance that they will not accept any photos taken in advance and will not allow others to collect interview cards. Previously, journalists must also promise to abide by all the regulations of the organizers.

After the press card is made, journalists must wear it when they are in theaters and hotels. Before entering any area, they must be inspected by staff, and the identity and authority of the press card holder can be checked by computer. Due to the martial law in the vicinity of Kodak Theatre at that time, it was almost impossible to move without an interview permit.

The two blocks of Hollywood Avenue near the theater where Da Theatre is located have been blocked by the police, so all vehicles have to bypass, and pedestrians can only enter the blocked area of the theater after showing their interview cards and work permits.

The final rehearsal before the award ceremony is under intense pressure, and the rehearsal personnel all enter the theater through a strictly sealed secret passage to avoid appearing in public. Only a handful of TV media can enter the theater to watch the rehearsal.

The number of visitors to Hollywood has decreased by nearly half compared with previous years, but there are still tourists who are interested in Kodak Theatre. In the tourist area, from time to time, you can see the tour guide explaining the scenery behind a closed door, and repeatedly apologizing that the area is not open to tourists because of the extraordinary period.

2 pm on March 22nd:

The reporter's interview room is located on the second floor of the hotel, which is strictly divided into three types: photography, writing and recording. Each media approved by the Oscar organizer has a designated seat in its own interview room, in which office equipment is fully available, and various staff members help the media solve emergency problems.

The process of entering the interview room is similar to that of airport security check. After checking the interview certificate with the computer, the reporter must also hand over all the equipment and go through the security door. Sometimes, the staff will ask reporters to open the computer bag to check the equipment inside. Journalists in the interview room are strictly forbidden to use cameras or video cameras when interviewing winners, otherwise the staff will confiscate them.

journalists can apply for free telephone lines from staff, but mobile phones and other communication equipment must be turned off or vibrated. The staff warned that if the reporter's mobile phone rang during the activity, it would be confiscated and the person would be expelled. 5: p.m. on March 22nd:

The number of security guards near Kodak Theater has increased significantly, and a policeman can be seen almost ten steps away. The cordon of the hotel reporters' interview room has been pushed out for more than ten meters, so all personnel must pass the security check as soon as they go up the stairs, unlike the space for free activities and rest a few days ago. A section of Hollywood Avenue outside Kodak Theatre was separated from the sidewalk and driveway by black curtains. In this way, pedestrians walking on the sidewalk can no longer peep at the gate of Kodak Theatre.

11: a.m. on March 23rd:

The cordon pushed back two intersections, and the whole Hollywood Boulevard was closed to traffic. The two blocks closest to Kodak Theatre are not even allowed for pedestrians without permits. Therefore, about 5 meters away from Fiona Fang in Kodak Theatre, there are all people with different color licenses hanging around their necks, most of whom are journalists.

5: 25pm on March 23rd:

Everything is ready and the ceremony begins.

The convention stipulated that journalists must wear evening dresses, and suddenly the bathroom became a dressing room for female journalists ...

The Academy Awards ceremony was a competition between stars and filmmakers, as well as a battle between journalists from all over the world. Two weeks before the award ceremony, journalists from various media began to gather in Hollywood to bring the latest Oscar news to their respective audiences. At the moment when the countdown to the Oscar bell sounded, the reporter's Oscar feast reached its climax.

Unlike journalists who cover other major international events, journalists who cover the Oscars are also subject to clothing restrictions. Because the stars and audience all regard this fashion gathering as the best opportunity to show their clothes and temperament, in order to prevent reporters everywhere from "spoiling the scenery" in front of luxurious dresses and bright jewels, the organizers of the Oscar expressly require all journalists involved in the report, including the information couriers who shuttle inside and outside the venue, to attend in full dress, and all men wear tuxedos, while women require evening dresses. The staff explained: "This is also a reporter's party!"

Despite good intentions, this undoubtedly adds a lot of burden to journalists who are busy interviewing and writing articles. As early as the day before the award, reporters discussed in the interview room what clothes to wear the next day to be decent and convenient for running and carrying equipment. The organizing committee "considerate" set up a tuxedo rental field next to the news center, so unprepared male reporters can go to the "rental field" to measure themselves and rent a suit to temporarily put on. But women are not so lucky, so many people have to bring a dress all the way and change it. At noon on the day of the 23rd award presentation, the Renaissance Hotel where the news center is located can be seen everywhere with a skirt in one hand and a heavy computer bag in the other, and female reporters with interview cards hanging on their chests instead of necklaces. The restrooms in five-star hotels were even used as dressing rooms by female journalists, who lined up in a row to help each other, and quite a few actresses had to take the stage.

this rule really makes the reporters' team suddenly colorful and full of flowers. Men are all polite, steady and slow, and women are more beautiful. Whether it is a halter dress, a suspender dress, a cheongsam or a kimono, people can always see more things than they can see. Of course, problems followed. In order to ensure air circulation, the interview room that can accommodate hundreds of people was fully air-conditioned. After sitting down for less than ten minutes, many reporters began to take out clothes from their bags to wrap their bare shoulders and thighs. In spite of this, everyone was shivering with cold. It seems that it is not easy to interview, rush to publish and support for several hours in this luxurious "cold palace" in such a "thin" dress.

fortunately, in order to make this event more like a feast, the organizer also thoughtfully set up a buffet outside the interview room, so that journalists can eat and drink warm food and drinks while working. The interview room should also be fully equipped, and the staff are kind and polite, which makes people feel quite comfortable.

When Nicole Kidman, the newly released Oscar winner, delivered her acceptance speech on the stage, she even mentioned russell crowe, who was once rumored to have an affair with her, which surprised the media and immediately began to speculate whether there was any new progress in their relationship. However, Nicole was confused when interviewed by reporters afterwards, claiming: "I don't remember what I said."

Nicole Kidman, who received the Best Actress Award from Denzel Hayes Washington Jr., was very excited. She started to cry without saying anything for a moment, and then unexpectedly cried and said, "russell crowe told me not to cry on the podium if she won the prize. But I still cried. " The audience immediately broke into a knowing laugh.

So when Nicole finally came backstage to be interviewed by reporters, almost all the questions were directed at her "slip of the tongue". But Nicole immediately put on a confused look and said innocently, "I don't remember what I said at that time." You know, I'm so surprised, talking nonsense. Will you tell me? What did I say? Who are you mentioning? "

under the reporter's repeated questioning, she began to talk about him again, and then said, "I don't wear glasses, so it's a little difficult to see you." Another moment, she talked about her relationship with her mother and daughter, and said sadly, "I forgot to mention my father. I didn't mean to, but I am angry with him." Then he asked the reporter lovingly how to say the word "pajamas" in America. It's really difficult for the old reporters to see her, so they have to let it go.

A while ago, Nicole's affair with Jude Delo was widely circulated, and it was even said that Jude Delo divorced Nicole, and Nicole sued the media for rumors. This time, Nicole publicly mentioned Russell on live TV, which made people doubt that it was a "diversion". Of course, it's confusing between three people.
