Heads Up Hollywood

Are the Oscars fair?

From the perspective of the selection mechanism, it is very fair!

Every judge has the right to vote, and the voting statistics are controlled by PricewaterhouseCoopers. The selection process is the same as the presidential election, using the preference voting system. There is no possibility of fraud in these links.

However, is the academy really just a service party to the Oscars and has no influence over the outcome of the awards?

of course not.

The Academy must ensure that the Oscars are a cultural export of American values!

When the war broke out, many entertainment awards, including the Golden Globes, were awarded correctly, but the Oscars were not. So much so that the Organizing Committee of the Oscars has yet to confirm whether this year's Oscars will go ahead as scheduled.

Because political correctness is the first principle that the college adheres to!

For example, in the previous life, this year's Oscar, the best actress was awarded to Halle Berry, and the hardest actor was awarded to Denzel Washington/Ton.

The reason is simple, they are all black!

During the special period of the national war, such awards are in line with the current principles of racial equality and harmonious coexistence, which caters to the main theme of unifying the hearts of the people during the national war.

So here comes the question, are the acting skills of Halle Berry and Denzel Washington/Ton really worthy of the Best Actress and Best Actor Awards?

Halle Berry failed to win the equally grand British Oscars and American Golden Globes.

She won the Oscar queen, which was a big surprise in the "expected"!

Denzel Washington/Ton is even more ridiculous, "Training Day" is a crime action movie, a commercial movie through and through!

In the history of Oscars, no action star has ever won an Oscar winner.

Not even celebrities like Mel Gibson, Tom Cruise, and Will Smith.

Like the Golden Globes, free from political interference - tonight, Best Actor in a Drama is Russell Crowe for A Beautiful Mind and Best Actress in a Drama is Sissy Spay for Unbelievable Seck.

Halle Berry and Denzel Washington/Denzel are already burning up for nominations, and there is no possibility of competition at all.

It can be seen from this that the Academy must be behind the push for them to win the Oscar!

However, the Oscar selection mechanism is very fair. The judges vote by secret ballot, and the statistical agency is PricewaterhouseCoopers, so there is no possibility of exploiting any loopholes.

How exactly does the Academy control the Oscars?

The answer is ready to come out: the academy has controlled the judges through its influence!

There are now more than 3,500 Oscar judges.

Among them, more than 90% are American filmmakers, and more than 55% of the judges are "old antiques" who have retired.

There are too many films nominated for Oscars every year. Most of these judges are in their seventies and eighties. They usually struggle to eat. How much energy do they have to watch movies?

And still concentrated in just two or three months?

Even if every movie is a classic such as "The Godfather" and "Schindler's List", it is impossible to watch it.

After watching all the movies, I guess I'm exhausted!

Ironically, such a group of people is the main force of voting!

Because many foreigners and active actors have too many jobs and don’t need to rely on the relationship of the academy to make a living, most of them don’t vote, or they only vote for a few well-known projects.

Only this group of "old antiques" have been eliminated by the times and have lost their direct influence on Hollywood. If they want to maintain their participation, they can only rely on the influence of the academy.

It is also doomed that these two groups have reached an alliance of interests - at least at critical moments, they must maintain unity!

In the atmosphere of this war, they have to cooperate with the academy to send two black people to the throne of actress and actor.

The same goes for Kirk Douglas.

His prestige in Hollywood is too deep, Master Kubrick is his horseman, Francis Coppola has worked for him, many "old antiques" are his subordinates, the influence is too great .

Even... He was able to intervene in the Golden Globe Awards, so that Natalie didn't even get a nomination.

"A Beautiful Mind" is too classic, and the voice is too loud.

Winning this movie will definitely cause an uproar in public opinion, so I can't move it.

But winning Natalie Portman is different. "Juno" is already very controversial, and this year's actresses have collectively exploded, and the competition is fierce.

At this time, Tang En suddenly lost his mind.

Because "Unsinkable" was last year's global box office champion, he successfully obtained the skill of "stealing the sky" through the sunglasses system. This is a luxury, once a year at most, and powerful, you can steal an Oscar without anyone knowing it!

With the skill of "Stealing the Sky for Prizes", Tang En was once full of confidence, and even planned to fight Kirk Douglas. If this old guy really dares to play dirty tricks, he will use his skills to directly steal the Best Actress Oscar and give it to Natalie!

What racial unity, political correctness, and catering to the main theme are all nonsense!

In Tang En's view, none of these were as important as Natalie.

But now it's a bit difficult, Kirk Douglas has a lot of influence!

To prevent Natalie from being nominated!

This is embarrassing!

If Natalie doesn't even have a nomination, when the Oscars are presented, the TV cameras lock on the five leading actress candidates in the audience, but the award presenter pronounces the name "Natalie Portman", then there will be trouble big!

This not only blows the authority of Oscar, but even Hollywood will become a joke all over the world.

It would be a real scandal!

Natalie would also be the target of criticism.

Therefore, Twain now has to fight for an Oscar nomination for Best Actress for Natalie!

Otherwise, everything is negligible.

The awarding time of the Golden Globes is very long, including film awards and TV awards, which are all presented together.

Taking advantage of this time, Dunn thought a lot.

"Hey! What are you thinking? You haven't congratulated me yet!" Nicole Kidman was radiant and smiling, shaking her little white hand in front of his eyes.

Only then did Tang En smile slightly, "Congratulations, Best Supporting Actress, not bad. Let me just say, if you are nominated for Best Supporting Actress instead of Best Actress, the chances of winning the award will be greater!"

Nicole Kidman is the heroine of "A Beautiful Mind", but she doesn't have many roles. In terms of the length of time, it is also eligible to apply for Best Supporting Actress.

"Including Oscar?"

She has won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress, and she really doesn't like the Best Supporting Actress. What she cares about is the Oscar.

Tang En leaned over and said in a low voice: "I have a hunch that this year's Oscars will definitely not be able to escape!"

"A Beautiful Mind" is amazing, with excellent performances from Russell Crowe and Nicole Kidman. However, due to political reasons, Russell Crowe is doomed to miss the chance to defend the title of Best Actor. As a consolation, the academy will definitely give the supporting actress to Nicole Kidman. There is almost no suspense!

"Thank you." Nicole Kidman was in a good mood, and then teased Twain, "What about you? The Best Director Award will be presented soon, can you win it?"

Tang En snorted coldly, "What do you think? Nat doesn't even have a nomination, so I can win the award? Hmph! If it wasn't for the fear of too much public opinion, I can assure you that I wouldn't even get a nomination!"

Nicole Kidman bit her lip and lowered her voice, "Film awards... are almost the same all over the world. Our Australian Academy Awards, including the three European awards, can all operate in secret. It depends on who is more capable. "

"You think Kirk Douglas is better than me?" Dunn squinted at her.

Nicole Kidman is not afraid of him, she gave him a white look, "At present, it seems that's the case. At least in the award season, you are not his opponent. Even Nat has been implicated by you, what are you talking about?"

"Hmph! Let's wait and see!"

Tang En's face darkened, and he was very angry.

Nicole Kidman frowned slightly, "Pay attention to the image, there is a camera."

Tang En's expression did not change, he pondered for a while, "Nicole, you said..."

The voice stopped.

"Ah for what?"

Tang En hesitated for a while, and then said slowly: "What do you think about my complete break with the Golden Globe Awards?"

"ah?"

Nicole Kidman was taken aback and nearly screamed!

She knows Tang En too well, this kid can do anything.

Breaking with the Golden Globes and putting it on someone else is a fantasy.

Put it on Tang En... Anything is possible!

"Twain, you...don't mess around!"

Nicole Kidman was messed up at once, and a little out of place.

At this time, she missed Natalie a little bit. When Tang En was about to explode, only she could control his emotions.

Tang En's face was cold and resolute, his lips were purple, he clenched his silver teeth, and said coldly: "Then let's see the results of the Golden Globe Awards. I will give them one last chance!"

Nicole Kidman's anxious face paled, and she was a little incoherent, "Tang En, you...you have to calm down, the competition for the best director is very fierce, and Spielberg, even if you can't get it , also... is also normal."

"Best director? I never counted on it!"

"Then you mean?"

"I'm talking about the Best Screenplay Award!"
