432 make a prompt decision
Renly Hall, the biggest dark horse among this year's Oscar nominees, also forms a new generation of "The Three Musketeers" with Jennifer Lawrence and Hailee Steinfeld - the eldest Renly was also a 10-year-old in 1989 Born in January, so the media generally called them, "three young actors who have not yet obtained legal drinking qualifications"”.
Of course, Renly can actually drink alcohol legally now.
Throughout this year's awards season, discussions about "Generation Y" actors have been endless, extending from Toronto to the Oscars. Until now, whether Natalie Portman can become the first actor of Generation Y to win a statuette remains to be seen. It is a hot topic. Not only the major media, but also the college officials have joined in..
After the Oscar nomination list was released, all walks of life were disappointed, because the number of nominees for Generation Y shrank by almost two-thirds, which once again made people feel that the Academy is unfriendly to young actors. They still seem to be holding on to gold. The remnants of the times and unwillingness to accept the fact that the 21st century has arrived. This has caused the college to suffer controversy and criticism.
Under such circumstances, the academy had to respond. They promoted the "Three Musketeers" and intended to make these three people the representatives of this year's awards ceremony to give more encouragement to the younger generation..
Because these three people are really young, even among Generation Y actors, they are still on the tail. Strictly speaking, Hailey, who was born in 1996, is no longer Generation Y. She belongs to the Millennial generation - born after 1991. generation. These three absolutely young actors are enough to bring hope to the new blood of Hollywood. They also mean that the younger generation will undoubtedly make a shining debut..
Since the announcement of the nomination list, both the media and the academy have been working together to add fuel to the fire. There has been a lot of news focusing on the Three Musketeers. Even though there are enough topics during this year's awards season, it still grabs a lot of attention. Less sight. It can be said that many people are looking forward to the attendance of the Three Musketeers.
But now, Renly is actually going to be absent? And it was at the last critical moment？
The attendance lineup for the Oscars ceremony is just like the guest list for a wedding banquet. It is not only difficult to produce, but also complicated. Generally speaking, the academy has begun to arrange guests from mid-December..
Although in December, there is still a long time before the nomination list is announced, and even within the academy, it is impossible to predict the results. However, since the awards season has begun, major awards have been awarded one after another, and objects worthy of attention have also been awarded one after another. Surfaced, in addition to top names like Tom Hanks and George Clooney, the Academy welcomes them to attend at any time.
Therefore, the academy will issue invitations in four to five batches. The first batch may be fresh topical figures worthy of attention, and a large number will be updated every year; the second batch may be the frontrunners of the awards season, regardless of whether they can win or not. Oscar nominations, their attendance is bound to get enough attention. And so on..
After the nomination list comes out, the Academy will send out another batch of invitations. On the one hand, it will prevent dark horses from entering the nomination list, such as Hailey this year. On the other hand, it will send out heavyweight award guests because of their popularity and popularity. Considering the attention and the competition between major brokerage companies, the invitation of these top guests will be the highlight of the award ceremony night..
Willing to attend, refuse to attend. No matter what the answer is, the invitees are required to respond as soon as possible. If there happens to be a conflict in schedule and unable to attend, then the college can also prepare a backup plan to avoid embarrassment and confusion, and every award must be There are corresponding award-winning guests and rehearsed speeches. This cannot be taken carelessly..
All in all, this is a careful and thorough process, and the college tries to minimize unexpected situations as much as possible..
Of course, are there any special circumstances? have.
Take Woody Allen, for example. After the academy sends out an invitation, he can consider it slowly and decide whether to attend, or he may not choose the "reject" option until the last moment. But even Woody won't procrastinate too much. For a long time, inform the college of the decision early so that they can make arrangements for the ceremony..
At this moment, there is only one week left before the Oscar ceremony, but at the last critical moment, Renly confirms his absence.？
This... definitely caught everyone off guard, and it was even after they had already nodded in agreement before. If it is not handled properly, then the academy judges will be offended. Once the case record is left, if they want to make a comeback in the future, they will You must spend twice as much effort. What’s even worse is that after hard work, it is very likely that you will not be able to change the result - Pride and Prejudice, this can be said to be the motto of the academy..
This is the most deadly！
The most famous case in Hollywood is Viggo Mortensen.
Back then, he starred as Aragorn, the king of mankind in "The Lord of the Rings". Especially in the third film, there was a lot of demand for nominations during the awards season, but Vigo had no interest in the Oscars at all and almost missed the entire Oscar. Academy public relations during the awards season naturally failed to receive nominations in the end..
Later, Vigo collaborated with David Cronenberg twice in 2005 and 2007 respectively, and received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor for "Eastern Promises". In that session In the selection, Daniel Day-Lewis of "There Will Be Blood" stands out, and others can hardly pose a threat. However, it is recognized in the industry that Vigo is the biggest challenger. Among the previous major trendsetters, Vigo has gained a lot. Good reviews.
However, Vigo not only refused to promote it, but also believed that the Oscars were just a "game" and he was very disdainful..
This gesture caught the ears of professionals in the industry and spread. Coupled with his indifference and alienation in 2003, he was blacklisted by the academy..
After that, Vigo gave countless wonderful performances, such as "The End of the Road" in 2009, "A Dangerous Method" in 2011, and "Off the Tracks" in 2014. These works have received numerous recognitions in Europe, large and small. It has won a lot of awards from small film critics associations and film festivals, but has always been ignored in North America..
It wasn't until 2016 that Vigo put down his posturing and worked hard for the small-budget independent film "Captain Fantastic". He even took the initiative to attend numerous public relations activities and truly integrated into Hollywood. Only then did he receive an Oscar nomination for Best Actor..
In other words, not just anyone can be Woody Allen.
Now, just thinking about it in his mind, Andy feels like he has a splitting headache..
However, Andy is not the indecisive type. After making a choice, no matter how difficult it is, he must stick to it and say, "Yes, I won't attend.".
Renly looked at Andy in front of him, but he shrugged nonchalantly and agreed simply, "Okay..”
Andy agreed so readily without any nostalgia. Andy felt a little tight in his chest, but he was not surprised. He could only shake his head helplessly, "Then you have a good rest. We will continue to work tomorrow."？”
Although this was a question, Andy already knew Renly's answer..
Sure enough, Renly nodded in affirmation, "The next step is the difficult part." Renly looked at Andy quietly. He knew how important it was to miss the Oscar..
In fact, Hollywood Vanity Fair and British Aristocrat Vanity Fair are of the same origin..
The Oscars are like the Queen's private banquet. Everyone knows that it is extremely difficult to talk to the Queen when attending such a banquet. After most people attend, they are reduced to the background. But no one will Absence. Anyone who is absent is bound to become the focus of onlookers, and may even become the subject of conversation after dinner in social situations..
To put it simply, when the nobles hold banquets in the future, this person will be on the blacklist, and they may not be invited. After all, the social network of the nobles is complicated. If you look at them repeatedly, they may be relatives; but the intensity of the invitation, Enthusiasm and frequency will plummet, and then you will become an outcast in the social scene without knowing it..
Now, the same is true for the Oscars. Unless Renly can be like Woody Allen, with a transcendent status but uniquely becoming an artistic representative on the East Coast of New York. Then the Academy will have no choice but to swallow its anger. Otherwise, things will be terrible. Tricky.
As Renly said, he could attend if necessary.
For the aristocrats of London, this is one of the things they do best: conceal their true emotions and true state in public, and complete all social activities with ease and leisurely, even under special circumstances.
To give a simple example, nobles can control their hiccups - not the hiccup action itself, because the action itself is uncontrollable; but when they realize that they are about to hiccup, they will adjust their breathing or cover up their speech. , cover it up quietly, then turn around and leave.
Because hiccups are a very rude behavior and are detrimental to the noble manners, even if it is a natural reaction of the body. This sounds incredible, but it actually exists in real life..
Of course, such behavior is not without traces. For experienced people, it will be obvious at a glance, and it will become the talk behind their backs; but for novices or laymen, they will not notice it at all..
As for small etiquette such as controlling farts, I can only say that it is just a matter of sprinkling water..
In other words, he can attend Oscar, but he doesn't want to.
Compared with the Oscar, he has more important things to accomplish now - the exploration of method acting..
Originally, Renly thought that Andy would give some instructions or nag a few words, but unexpectedly, Andy turned around and was about to leave, apparently planning to let him have a good rest..
To be honest, Renly felt a little warm in his heart because he knew better than anyone else what a difficult decision this was for Andy..
“What about the academy? What are your plans? "Renly took the initiative to ask..
