Just like in the past few years, the 86th Academy Awards ceremony was still in the Hollywood Heights Center, which was renamed the Dolby Theater the year before. However, unlike previous years, after the list of nominations for this year's Oscars was announced, the crews participating in the Oscar competition were much quieter than in previous years. Even people like Harvey Weinstein and Murphy who were very thick-skinned and had many tricks were no exception.

The reason is very simple. The School of Film Arts and Sciences seems to want to rectify the Oscars' public relations order. After the nomination list was announced, the director made a move to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

The song's creator, Bruce Broughton, was found to have violated the Oscar public relations rules by the School of Film Arts and Sciences, and is strictly prohibited from participating in the Oscars!

According to the news released by the college, Bruce Broughton canvassed the Oscar judges through email, calling on them to "be aware of this work." The college determined that Bruce Broughton violated the voting rules and thus canceled his nomination for the Oscar Best Original Song Award.

Bruce Broughton was not an important figure, but the School of Film Arts and Sciences undoubtedly showed its attitude. The contestants including "Dark City" became much quieter afterwards, and no one wanted to get into the academy's bad temper at this time.

This is one of the most noticeable things before the award ceremony, and the other thing is whether the rain in Los Angeles will stop.

There are unexpected situations in the world. When the 86th Academy Awards Ceremony is about to officially begin, heavy rains began to fall in Los Angeles and the temperature dropped sharply.

Every spring is the rainy season in the Los Angeles area. There have been rains in the past Oscars, but this year the rain has been particularly heavy, and even the red carpet has been affected.

Although the staff promptly implemented waterproofing measures and set up a rainproof awning, the red carpet laid in advance at the door of the Dolby Theater was soaked in rainwater.

Of course, the red carpet show will not be cancelled due to rain, but it is very likely that the weather will drag down the photo and interview results will be affected.

According to the weather department's forecast, this bad weather will continue until the night of the Oscars and the temperature will also become very low.

The college has carried out remedial work as quickly as possible. As long as you have money, it is not difficult to solve the trouble caused by rain.

In just one night and one morning, all the soaked red carpets were replaced with new ones, and the inside and outside were covered with plastic cloth, drainage channels were added, and staff kept monitoring the rain and drainage on the site, and would use tools to remove water in time.

In addition, the college has expanded the area of ​​the rain protection canopy and even blocked the driveway.

It is not uncommon for Oscar red carpet show to encounter bad weather. Both celebrities and organizers are very experienced. Heavy rain is indeed a test. The amount of rain is too high. There is no perfect solution to deal with such emergencies, but this will not delay Hollywood stars walking on the red carpet in a thrilling manner.

The red carpet show of the 86th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off with heavy rain and low temperatures.

But most celebrities have already chosen their styles and clothing, which will not change.

For example, Emma Watson, who was walking in front of Murphy, was wearing a Vivi Wang's haute couture, transparent and tight gauze evening dress. The skirt was thin and transparent, and it looked really beautiful and frozen.

"I guess..." Gal Gadot held Murphy's hand and slightly controlled his speed of progress. "Emma wanted to fight back against those people and the media's attacks."

Murphy nodded, "It's possible."

In his contact, Emma Watson was a very personal girl. Didn’t some people and the media criticize her for being a false feminist with her breasts exposed? She simply chose a perspective outfit on such a very important occasion as a response to those criticisms.

Compared with the red carpet in the past, Murphy did not walk fast. He could feel what Gal Gadot meant. After all, those who were walking in front could be considered friends. If they walked too fast and chased after him, Emma Watson would be somewhat embarrassed.

Murphy and Gal Gadot slowly walked past the carpet, waved gently to the fans on both sides, and the rainstorm above his head fell on the canopy, making him unable to hear what the fans were shouting.

But many people held his posters high, and Murphy also smiled at those people.

"traitor!"

Daisy stood among the movie fans on the left side of the red carpet, looking at Murphy's familiar face, and a cold light flashed in her eyes, "Damn the traitor!"

Although she was thinking so in her heart, she did nothing and just watched the two people walk into the media interview area in front of the Dolby Theater.

There were police everywhere on the Dolby Theater and the entire Avenue of Stars. If something happened, she couldn't escape. Even if she didn't care about this, she couldn't do anything she wanted. After three security procedures, she could not bring in weapons such as guns.

"Director Stanton, the Academy once again refused to set up the Best Stunt Award for the Oscars, what do you think?"

In the interview area, Murphy was interviewing with a reporter. When he heard this question, he thought for a moment and replied, "We cannot ignore the contributions of stunt actors to this industry. They deserve to be commended."

It has been proposed for many years, but it is not easy to make conservative colleges recognize stunt actors. Although the college has made many reforms to the Oscars this year, it has once again rejected the establishment of Oscars related to stunts.

The college’s reforms are mainly aimed at existing awards.

As early as last year, the School of Film Arts and Sciences made several changes to the review criteria, the most important of which was the restriction on the number of actors applied for each film and the relaxation of the selection criteria for the best film candidate producer.

In terms of applying for the best actor, the new rules changed by the Academy limit that each film can only apply for 20 male actors and 20 actresses to participate in the Best Actor selection.

In the past, the producer or publisher could apply all actors who appeared in the film to the list.

The purpose of this change is to streamline the shortlist for judges provided before the annual selection and further avoid the trouble caused by the complexity of the list. Whether the actors who are applying to the list participate in the Best Leader or Supporting Actress Award is still at the discretion of the applicant.

In addition, the 40 cast members under the new regulations can be any actors participating in the film, and the producer or publisher does not need to decide based on the cast ranking.

In terms of Best Picture Awards, the main inclusion criteria have not changed much. The Academy will select the main three producers or fewer of each Best Picture producer as nominees, and according to the situation, reserve the right to add a fourth nominee to the film, and the change will occur.

If a producer appears in the form of a team, the college has only admitted that members of the production team that have joined forces for more than 5 years and produced at least 5 feature films will be candidates for Best Picture Awards.

Now, this standard has been relaxed to allow you to be selected as long as you have made two feature films.

The selection rules for other awards are also somewhat based on fine tuning in language semantics. Another noteworthy change takes place at the Best Original Song Awards. The Academy will allow candidates for Best Original Songs to appear in groups in the future, and the winners will also receive only one Little Golden Man awarded in the name of the team.

After answering the reporter's question briefly, Murphy declined the interview below, held Gal Gadot and prepared to enter the Dolby Theater.

At this moment, a burst of exclamations suddenly came from behind, and the sound was very loud, and even the sound of heavy rain falling on the canopy was suppressed.

Murphy looked back and saw that when he approached the media interview area, Jennifer Lawrence fell firmly on the red carpet, which not only caused the movie fans to exclaim, but also turned the cameras of the media reporters.

"It's time to grab the headlines again." Gal Gadot shook his head. "If I remember correctly, this is the fourth time that I've fallen on the awards ceremony or the red carpet."

Murphy smiled, turned around, and pulled Gal Gadot into the Dolby Theater.

In the absence of the possibility of winning important awards, this is also a good way to win entertainment headlines.

In the Santa Monica Beach area, Archbishop Marquez Costello finished his day's work and looked up at the wall clock on the wall, as if it was about to start.

He ordered his assistant standing beside him, "Go and turn on the TV."

The assistant was very strange. It was not yet evening news time, so why did the Archbishop suddenly watch TV?

He turned on the TV, and Archbishop Marquez Costello behind him ordered, "Switch to ATV!"

After taking the remote control, the assistant switched to ATV and then saw the Oscar live broadcast.

"So that's it." He turned his head and secretly glanced at Archbishop Marquez Costello and muttered, "Do you want to see Murphy Stanton?"

Now who doesn't know that Murphy Stanton is very embarrassed by the Archbishop. A few days ago, His Pope called him in person and severely scolded him. At that time, he was in this office and could vaguely hear words such as incompetence and failure...

This is definitely not a good sign for an archbishop.

The assistant felt that Archbishop Marquez Costello might not be able to stay in the Central South Diocese of California for long...

In the Dolby Theater, Murphy and Gal Gadot, led by staff, walked into the VIP lounge in the theater and added their friends to the lounge.

The Stanton party members gathered together, and Margot Robbie asked, "How many little golden men can we get tonight?"

Murphy shrugged, "Of course the more, the better."

"The more the better!" Robert Downey Jr. said seriously, "We are going to take away all the thirteen nominated little golden men!"

Everyone chuckled softly.
Chapter completed!
