On the afternoon of March 23, Western Time, the 75th Academy Awards Ceremony was held on time, but this was destined to be the most intensely opposed awards ceremony.

Starting two days ago, the intersection of Highland Avenue and Hollywood Avenue also gathered a large number of protesters who supported and opposed the Iraq War. They were separated by the Los Angeles police and were still chanting the wolf's slogans and did not stage too fierce conflicts.

Under the shadow of war, the style of Hollywood's annual movie event is obviously a bit solemn.

Today, the anti-war ranks have nearly doubled, swarming to a place not far from the Kodak Theater, holding up anti-war placards with the words "Bush betrayed the United States", "Bush is a dangerous element" and "Oscars demand peace" and making a wave of sounds higher than that.

About half a block away from the entrance of Kodak Theater, the number of Americans supporting the war against Iraq far exceeded the anti-war crowd. They sang the hymn of "America, America" ​​and held a support sign with the words "God Bless America" ​​in their hands, using even greater momentum to suppress the wave of anti-war.

Due to the special situation facing this award ceremony, although the organizers of this award ceremony set up a red carpet, they canceled the entrance ceremony such as walking on the red carpet and TV interviews. Some stars who opposed the war also wore brooches with anti-war slogans printed on them.

Although some stars and film directors refused to attend the Oscars to protest the ongoing Iraq War between the United States and Britain, they were only a few of them, and most of the people who received invitations from the academy appeared on time at the Kodak Theater.

As for those who publicly refuse to attend, they will basically miss the Oscar for Best Actor in their lifetime, although an actor like him has never been favored by the Academy.

First, Ryan was threatened by al-Qaeda, and this anti-war wave, security work naturally became the top priority.

Just a few days before the Oscars, a National Guard and their mobile testing room were arranged to the scene. Responsible for testing suspicious substances, the FBI and the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department deployed elite forces at the Kodak Theater and even arranged observation posts and snipers on the tops of several nearby buildings in case of an accident.

As the live broadcaster of the Academy Awards Ceremony, ABC TV Station, in addition to constantly broadcasting text news about Iraq, will also broadcast war videos in a timely manner.

Although the Iraq War cast a shadow on the Oscars and many industry insiders predicted that the ratings of this Oscar would hit the lowest point since the 1990s, Disney's ABC TV station became a big winner before the Oscars, and the advertising fee for the award ceremony alone earned as much as $85 million.

Anyway, calling for peace has become another theme of this award ceremony.

Although there is no red carpet, most celebrities will still say a few words to the media before entering the theater.

When Ryan arrived, a reporter asked him what he thought about the current situation and the award ceremony was held?

"This kind of question should be asked by the husband of the Academy's chairman, Pierson?" Although he quietly pushed the question out, he said, "Our values ​​are questioned all over the world, and it is very necessary to hold cultural events like the Oscars!"

At this time, what personality is purely causing trouble, and keeping consistent with mainstream voices is the wisest choice.

Although Hollywood's anti-war voices have always been very loud, the actual implementation of the action is still heavy and thunder. Only two or three unnominated people have claimed to withdraw from Oscar Night.

What's more, there are a large number of stars like Bruce Willis and Harrison Ford who support the Iraq War.

Almost all the activities before this award ceremony were cancelled. Ryan walked past the place where reporters gathered at the door. While greeting people, he walked into the theater. After a rough glance, he found the location of the crew of "Yat Moment".

"Drew. No congratulations yet."

With a gentle hug with Drew Barrymore sitting near the passage, Ryan continued, "How is it like best supporting actress?"

"It's just a nomination." Drew shrugged and said without caring, "It's impossible to win the award."

She played the role of Julian Moore in her previous life and won a nomination for Best Supporting Actress through a series of operations, but her baby face is definitely a flaw in winning the award.

"Hi, Anne." Ryan turned to Nicole and greeted her sister first. "I wanted to visit you when I was filming in Sydney, but I didn't expect you to come to Los Angeles."

"Yes, you will be my boss from now on." Antonia Kidman also hugged him. She has joined ABC TV.

Finally, Ryan grabbed Nicole's hand. The Australian girl was wearing a black evening dress and dyed honey gold with long hair neatly wrapped around her head, revealing her smooth forehead and fair face, showing her beautiful face.

"Didn't you say you won't come?" The pair of golden eyebrows frowned slightly. This kind of occasion is a place that is very likely to cause confusion and uncertainty.

"I always have to see you stand on that stage again." Ryan's eyes turned to the stage of Kodak Theater.

"Okay, go back to your seat." Nicole also hugged him.

When passing the seating area of ​​"The Gangsters of New York", he greeted Leonardo DiCaprio. Ryan came to the seat of the crew of "The Lord of the Rings", and his seat was once again adjacent to Peter Jackson, a fat man in New Zealand.

"Peter, the second Oscar is nominated," Ryan said after sitting down.

"Do I need to say thank you to you, Ryan?" Peter Jackson joked. "If I could stand on it, I would definitely thank you very much."

"Hey, Ryan, where is our Princess Arwen?"

Elijah Wood's hand reached out from behind, and Ryan shook him, "Charlie is out."

After filming "Kill Bill", Charlize took on the next movie. Because of going out to the Philippines, he had already made a greeting with the academy that he would be absent.

As Ryan appeared in Hollywood for a longer time, the changes in this circle also increased. For example, Peter Jackson won the second best director nomination for "The Twin Towers". For example, Billy Cristo once again accepted the invitation and became the host of this Academy Awards.

"I'm very happy to see the organizers lower the standards for this awards party, and even the traditional red carpet has been cancelled. If you don't know, I'll bring you this message."

What remains unchanged is that after Billy Christo stood on the stage, he was still showing off his words, and there were routine nomination songs co-branded and so on.

Subsequently, another major change occurred at this award ceremony. Perhaps Ryan had an extra relationship. The Best Animation Feature Award, which should have been released last year, was officially entered the Oscar this year, but the animated feature that won the first award has not changed.

"In recent years, we have seen one excellent animated feature film after another, bringing us countless joys."

The sunny Cameron Diaz, who was smiling with a big mouth, read out the nomination list, "Miyazaki Hayao, Monster Shrek, Jerryfor Carsonberg, Chris Sanders, "Star Silver Island" Ron Clermonds..."

"The winner is..." She looked down at the envelope, and the answer she read out was the same as everyone thought, "Jerry Ferre Carsonberg, Monster Shrek!"

The people at DreamWorks Animation Studio were immediately excited. Jerry Fert Carsonberg came over to hug Ryan before taking the stage to receive the award.

After Jerryfor Carsonberg walked onto the stage, Ryan turned to look at the Japanese. Only he knew that the best animated feature film of his previous life belonged to the Japanese.

However, with "Monster Shrek", the Film Academy will definitely not consider outsiders anymore.

Most of the next few technical awards were divided into "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Twin Towers". The former won the best artistic director, best editing and best costume design, while the latter won the best visual effect and best sound effect editing.

But what surprised Ryan the most was that Jennifer Lopez once again became an Oscar guest. The Latin queen obviously had a good idea. Fortunately, she did not continue to present the best original song...

As the highlight of the opening show, the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress fell on the heads of Chris Cooper and Catherine Zeta Jones. Compared to the last time she greeted her, Mrs. Douglas stood up with a big belly.

Well... From then on, she never seemed to have returned to her former figure.

Then, Michael Moore took over the Best Documentary Little Golden Man from Diane Lynn, but the award speech sparked a lot of cheers and booing more than cheers.

“We live in an era where false presidents are elected by false elections, and we live in an era where one makes us go to war with false reasons.”

His finger was directed at the Bush administration and the Iraq War, and others in the theater responded to this inconsistent response, some applauding, some standing tribute, and most of them booing.

Ryan had no impression of the image of this fat director wearing glasses, but the other party's speech immediately reminded him of a documentary - "Fahrenheit 911".

Could he be the director of this documentary?

Holding his chin, Ryan felt that this possibility was very big. Although Hollywood never takes the Washington government seriously, there are probably not many people who openly criticize it on such occasions.

Shaking his head, Ryan threw away these thoughts so that he would not get involved in such things.
