Chapter 131
On the other side of the red carpet, Kim Basinger had just withdrawn her gaze. Her husband Alec Baldwin noticed this and couldn't help but let out a cold snort.
In order to build momentum for Kim Basinger's Oscar, this year's awards season started, they did not miss Josie Horton.
Of course, at that time, the whole Hollywood was not optimistic about "Titanic". It happened that this girl had an old grudge with them and had auditioned for the role of "LA Confidential". Their public relations team would not hesitate to pour dirty water on her.
Especially at the beginning of the release of "Titanic", the national public opinion was negative, but the popularity of the movie increased instead of decreasing. At that time, they got a lot of exposure and pushed hard on the movie and its heroine.
Then, the bloody big ship set sail—it didn't sink!
Not only did it not sink, but it also created an eye-popping box office miracle. Up to now, its box office has broken through a terrifying billion dollars, and the whole world is crazy about it.
For God's sake--
Is the box office trend that is so exaggerated even if the data is falsified really exist?
Are those hotheaded teenagers crazy!
And where did they get the money to watch this movie over and over again?
Just like all Hollywood filmmakers, their problems come one after another, none of which can be explained by normal logic, and they face more troubles, because in order to promote "L.A. Confidential", they posted on the media The manuscript has not been collected.
So now, they have also suffered backlash.
Those crazy movie fans not only wrote piles of protest letters to magazines, but also organized criticism and discussions on the Internet spontaneously. Singer, a role that is not a perfect fit, conducts a well-founded analysis——
[Why doesn't she play some roles that are more in line with her real age?Although I admit that Kim Basinger is well-maintained, but when I see an actress who is nearly fifty years old and insists on being young and beautiful, I really have a good show when I watch the movie. 】
[No, no, how dare you beat my Ms. J's performance just like this?Isn't she scolding with a paralyzed face from the beginning to the end?How much public relations did LA Confidential pay for Kim Basinger to be nominated for an Oscar? 】
[One thing to say, the Devil's Advocate is really miserable. This year's Best Supporting Actress nominations were all made by Josie relying on her excellent acting skills. Even in the face of Al Pacino, she did not lose her demeanor. Obviously, the Golden Globes recognized it. her performance. 】
[But the Screen Actors Union gave the Best Supporting Actress to Kim Basinger, she seemed to come out of nowhere and win the award suddenly. 】
[If Oscar gives the statuette to Kim Basinger, I will never watch this shady awards ceremony again.In terms of quality, there are Josie Horton and Julian Moore, and in terms of respect for the elderly, there is Gloria Stewart. It shouldn't be Kim Basinger's turn! 】
[But she is really in the limelight now.Coordinated around Los Angeles, if you open any newspaper, you can see Kim Basinger's performance being touted. 】
[Hey, am I the only one who regrets that Josie didn't play the role of Los Angeles Confidential?Just thinking about her playing with Russell makes my whole blood boil. 】
[I heard that it was just a matter of officially signing the contract, but because of the Titanic, Josie was disliked by many people, so she was returned by Los Angeles Confidential, and now they will regret it to death! 】
【No, no, no, insiders say it's not because of the Titanic, but because of the neglected Devil's Advocate.As we all know, J and K are very good friends. K was taught to be a man by a big boss in the circle before, and J was banned for a while to help him... Fortunately, not only did nothing happen to the Titanic, but she was sent to the ship right away. line. 】
【Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooily 】
[Here we come, the award for Best Supporting Actress is about to begin! 】
Not surprisingly, tonight's Best Supporting Actress award was announced first.
When the last Oscar's Best Supporting Actor, Cooper Gooding Jr., stepped onto the stage of the awards ceremony, this year's Oscars ceremony had just begun, and the ratings ushered in a small peak.
The movie clips of the five nominated actresses began to be played on the big screen of the stage. When it was Josie Horton's turn, the girl with short dark hair looked at the little baby in front of her tenderly. The next second, she realized that all of this was just an illusion. The originally happy expression collapsed in an instant, and the whole person clamored for confusion and pain.
"This part is really good." Gloria Stewart, who was also a nominee, was sitting next to Josie, and she was already open-minded, "Now is the time for you young people. It's Oscar-caliber."
"I don't care if I get the prize or not, but you should get the prize, Gloria." Josie applauded along with the crowd, and faced the live camera with a smile.
"What should Oscar do?" Gloria laughed at herself. "Academy is the most realistic and hypocritical club for retired old white men."
Obviously, the actress who has been in the film industry for decades is not optimistic about winning the award, because she does not have enough energy to deal with the public relations activities of the awards season.
Sure enough, the smile of Cooper Gooding Jr. froze slightly on the stage, and he announced: "The winner is Kim Basinger, LA Confidential!"
The soundtrack of "LA Confidential" sounded at the scene, and Kim Basinger, who was called by name, was very excited and excited, and embraced her husband Alec Baldwin eagerly.
Alec Baldwin patted his wife on the back and whispered in her ear, "I said it, we will win."
However, did they really win?
Kim Basinger on the stage squinted her eyes subconsciously, slightly relieving the discomfort caused by the direct light, and then she saw that apart from her husband Alec Baldwin and the main creators of "LA Confidential" , In this auditorium hall that accommodates hundreds of people, almost no one gave her a heartfelt standing ovation for her award.
They had perfect and hypocritical smiles on their faces, without any sincere blessings at all. It is completely conceivable that after leaving the live broadcast, she will face those cruel gossips.
But it's okay-
Anyway, she's the one who wins in the end, isn't she?
A statuette is enough to rejuvenate her career, even if some people disdain it, it is still a kind of incompetent jealousy!
Kim Basinger took a deep breath, adjusted her mood, and started her award speech with great excitement.
The Oscars that night almost turned into a celebration party for "Titanic" in advance. The film finally won eleven awards, tying the award record of "Ben-Hur" that year. When James Cameron read that When saying the famous "I'm king of world", everyone tonight has become the best foil for "Titanic", looking extremely sad.
As a result, the ratings of this year's awards ceremony have climbed to a record high of 5000 million—you must know that last year's highest ratings were only 4007 million—about one billion people around the world watched this scene in the sacred auditorium on TV. .
But it also created the biggest "unjust case" of this year's Oscars.
On the Internet, NOW, one of the most famous gossip forums, has been massacred by angry fans, and Timi, which has a large number of active users, has also been spammed in various ways.
[I'm so pissed off, what happened to the Best Supporting Actress award? 】
[Come on, brush up the word "shady"! 】
[It turns out that I really like the movie L.A. Confidential, but tonight it won the Best Supporting Actress award, which is too disgusting. Except for the newcomer Minnie Driver who is destined to accompany the runaway, who is the nominee? They are more qualified to win the award than Kim Basinger! 】
[Josie Horton should have won the award last year, but it's a pity that the double nominations were split this year, otherwise the award should have been hers.By the way, I have become a fan, and her look tonight is really beautiful. 】
【E!Don't some people still think that the Oscars are fair and open?Not only did Leo not be nominated, but Josie's performance was also ignored. She can definitely win Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress! 】
[Fans don't have to be self-satisfied.It's true that the female supporting role was wronged, but she wants to be crowned Oscar in her early twenties, so don't dream so early, right? 】
[Anyway, pity my baby girl, I decided to go to the cinema to see a few more episodes of Titanic. 】
[Can I buy tickets tonight?add me! 】
At this time, Josie, who was "loved" by others, cared less about winning or losing Oscar than others imagined.
In the final analysis, the Oscar is only an award voted by a small number of people, and it does not represent the true feelings of audiences all over the world, and the nomination itself already represents a kind of recognition.
So she cared more about practical benefits than actually getting the statuette.
"It's not bad that she won that award. Our follow-up PR here just happens to help you get another wave of public favorability." As a professional PR, Eve has already lined up before the award ceremony even started, " According to the current situation, the influence of the previous black material on you has basically been washed away, and next year will be our real battlefield."
What is the best supporting actress award?
If you want to take it, you can take the highest honor that belongs to an actress and become the youngest Oscar queen in film history!
You know, the current record holder is Mary Matlin of "Falling into God's Child". Her winning age is 21 years and 218 days, and Josie's date of birth is November 1977, 11. If she can be successfully sealed at that time, she will refresh this record to about 11 years and 21 days.
So in this year's awards season, they just made a small test, and won the only nomination for "The Devil's Advocate", which had no chance of Oscar at all, forcibly relying on public relations.
——Of course, it wouldn’t be a bad thing if he could win an award this year, it would just “slightly” increase the difficulty of public relations in next year’s awards season.
Obviously, the Oscars are a game of PR and money.
"For such a small amount of sympathy points and compensation points, we really worked so hard." Josie joked casually, "But I didn't expect the academy to really give the award to Kim Basinger, instead of awarding the award to someone who is more commendable." Loria."
"Who would have thought? To be honest, this trophy is too hot this year, and only if it is won by you or Ms. Stewart will it not make the general public feel dissatisfied." Eve took out a lady's cigarette while talking.
This year's "Titanic" has an unparalleled high popularity, so the Academy also had to let it occupy the C position, and gave the best director and best picture to James Cameron, who they had previously looked down upon. Director of commercial films.
However, they were still unwilling, so Leonardo DiCaprio, the leading actor of "Titanic", didn't even get a nomination for Best Actor, and he was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Supporting Actress. Good Will Hunting and L.A. Confidential.
It can be said that they are trying their best to divide the pork.
Assuming that the Oscar winners are to be voted according to public opinion, then this year will obviously become the ending of "Titanic".
But the Academy is always so arrogant.
They both want ratings and dare not completely confront the audience, but they also want to emphasize their authority and artistry, so big or small Oscar injustices happen from time to time.
