Due to the large number of movie fans from all over the United States, this year's Writers Guild strike, and the still strong anti-Iraq War trend, today's Los Angeles police are facing a formidable enemy. This is also an election year, and Los Angeles is the stronghold of the Democratic Party.

, in order not to offend voters, we did not dare to block the streets this time like last year. This year happens to be another big year in the history of movies. Movie fans from all over the United States flocked to the streets near the Kodak Theater and blocked the streets. California only

Police forces from San Francisco and San Jose were deployed to maintain security at the scene~~

Dozens of police cars were parked on the ground, and eight helicopters hovering in the sky of the Kodak Theater to maintain order and security made people think they were filming a Hollywood blockbuster~~

This year, there was no huge anti-Iraq War demonstration like last time. This year's Oscars is a festival for pure movie fans, including "Pirates of the Caribbean 3", "Captain America", "The Incredible Hulk", "Batman", "Transformers"

"Fans of these super blockbusters came from all over the state. On both sides of the Avenue of Stars, fans wearing various Batman and Captain America uniforms were standing, holding slogans in support of their favorite movies.

And the children shouted excitedly on the roadside: "Long live Captain America~! Defeat that lunatic Joker~!" "The idiot clown is from Batman~! The muscular man with the shield beat the Red Skull~!"

There are posters and slogans everywhere, and at first glance, they are all crowded with movie fans. Tens of thousands of movie fans gathered together at the scene. The entire Kodak Theater area has become a sea of ​​joy for movie fans across the United States~

At this moment, the eyes of movie fans from all over the world are focused on this star-studded golden event~~~Everyone wants to witness the birth of a new legend~!

This year is a year full of great films, and it is also a year for the new generation of talented directors to show off their brilliant talents. Li Xiaole, Christopher Nolan, and the Coen brothers, these new generation directors have all received their genius works.

, and the geniuses of the past have grown into film masters of this era. The "old guys" such as Tim Burton, Danny Boyle, and David Fincher have also brought the greatest hits in their film careers.

A pinnacle masterpiece.

Every movie fan is excited that they can witness this era with their own eyes~~No matter what the result is this time, it will be the most glorious one in the history of the Oscars~~!

As the magnificent opening music played, the red carpet ceremony of the 80th Academy Awards also officially opened. Under the dense flash lights, the first person to appear on the red carpet tonight was the crew of "Juno", who is only 20 years old.

Len Page appeared with a bright and sunny smile, which made fans and reporters excited. This sugar baby is the new favorite of Hollywood~~

Dressed in a vibrant girly outfit of jeans and a T-shirt, Ellen Page looked more like the girl next door. It was her first time to participate in such a big event, and she seemed a little shy. She was a little nervous when facing reporters' flash greetings.

In front of the interview camera, this girl who just turned 20 three days ago said modestly to fans all over the world:

"Wow... It's so surprising. I never thought I would be here. It's like a dream. I never thought I would be nominated for an Oscar... I feel so lucky now."

There were 512 reporters from 129 countries around the world reporting on the scene, and the number of reporters participating in this event reached 1,678, breaking the record just set last year. It can be said that it is an unprecedented event, and with great expectations,

The world's top movie stars appeared on the red carpet one after another, feasting the eyes of movie fans.

Jon Stewart, the host of the red carpet, excitedly said to the camera: "Wow~ We can see that this is really the biggest event of the year in the film industry. We are here to pay tribute to all the wonderful movies and participating actors this year~~ We

It can be seen that there are a lot of cross-border cultures at this year's conference. Filmmakers from China, India, and the United Kingdom have never appeared at the Oscars in such a strong manner~~

This year, 43 TV stations around the world also broadcast the ceremony live~~The power in the movie is radiating to the whole world~~~"

Yes, at this moment, the live footage is being transmitted to all parts of the world through television signals, including China. Because Li Xiaole, a mainland director, has been nominated for an unprecedented 11 Oscars, CCTV is also cooperating with Sina Movie Channel

The live broadcast was broadcast live, and netizens cheered for Li Xiaole excitedly in the text section.

"Crazy Li is so powerful~! Ang Lee's "Lust, Caution" was not shortlisted for any awards this year. Li crazy is the only Chinese star~! Come on~~"

""Pi" was nominated for eleven awards~! This breaks the record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! This time it must surpass the record of four awards for "Iron Man" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"~! For

Mainland filmmakers fight for publicity!"

Only a few netizens left messages calmly: "Although "Pi" has been nominated more this time, the opponents this time are really too strong. As long as we can win two, it's not a loss~~ Everyone, calm down~ Don't wait.

You’re scolding people for not winning the prize~”

Bai Yansong, the host of the movie channel’s Oscar live special program, also commented objectively:

"Although "Pi" has received a lot of praise this time and has been nominated for 11 awards, which is a boost for us mainland filmmakers, I think we still have to stay awake. Most of the Oscar judges are Americans. I believe that under the same level

, they will naturally vote for their own people. After all, except for Ang Lee, a director educated in the United States, Asian directors have never won an Oscar award. If Li Xiaole is elected as the best director, then for Hollywood

For people, it’s like seeing a black president appear in the United States. It would be incredible~~

As he spoke, Bai Yansong turned to ask Feng Xiaogang, the special commentator on the live broadcast next to him: "Director Feng Xiaogang, do you think it is possible for Director Li to win the two awards of Best Director and Best Picture this time?"

"I think it's really unlikely." Feng Xiaogang shook his head simply:

"After all, the Oscar is not an international award. It is an internal circle award in the United States. It is similar to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards here. You can imagine that if Spielberg comes to China to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, we can give the Best Director Award to

Him? I think it’s impossible no matter what, so I prefer that “Pi” can win a few technical awards, such as the Best Visual Effects Award and the Best Cinematography Award. These two are really well-deserved.”

When the two were talking on TV about how many awards Li Xiaole could win, two votes were also cast in the Sina live broadcast room. One was "How many statuettes do you think Li Xiaole can win tonight?" and the other was "

Can he win Best Director and one of Best Picture?"

Among the 208,000 films selected, only 12.1% chose "Bruce Lee can win more than 4 Oscars, breaking the record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and becoming the NO.1 Chinese director" and "Bruce Lee can

It will win Best Director and Best Picture."

34.9% of the people only agreed with the former one, and the rest chose "Lee Lee has won less than 4 awards" and "He is still too young to win the best director and best picture."

.”

In the cafeteria hall of China Film Company, Han Sanpin, Han Xiaoli, He Zhiyuan, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, and Wei Xiao all gathered in front of the TV to watch the live program in the early morning. In order not to miss any news, Jiang Wen also asked

Wei Xiao worked with several assistants who knew English to translate in real time.

"Why hasn't Director Li come out yet? Will something happen to him?" Jiang Wei clasped his hands behind his back and walked around with a rare sense of anxiety. This was the first time that this domineering filmmaker had done this with a large group of people.

It was lively just to cheer up his little brother.

In Hong Kong, TVB, Japan's Fuji TV, Taiwan's Big 8, and South Korea's KBS all broadcast the same signal. People who have worked with Li Xiaole, Zhou Runfa, Leslie Cheung, Wei Desheng, Li Dongxu, Li Junji... all of these people follow

Waiting for Bruce Lee to appear in front of the TV. This night, Bruce Lee not only represents himself, but also carries the dreams of countless Asian filmmakers~~

In the camera, Adrianne Franz is looking very charming in a gold fishtail floor-length dress, Anne Hathaway makes an elegant appearance in a one-shoulder red dress, and Heidi Klum shows off her proud figure in a fiery red dress with exquisite updos.

Jessica Alba showed elegance while walking on the red carpet during her pregnancy, Renee Zellweger was stunningly beautiful, and Jennifer Hudson's pure white dress was picturesque...

In this "Fashion Road to the Oscars", charming actresses who have captured the hearts of movie fans around the world competed for beauty on the red carpet, making fans excited.

In contrast, the appearance of powerful actors in this awards ceremony was another sight. British director Danny Boyle led the 12 Indian actors of "Slumdog Millionaire" to appear with great fanfare.

.

"Wow~ They are such a big team. These Indian guys will be the most powerful contenders for major awards tonight. In previous interviews with major film critics, everyone is very optimistic that "Slumdog Millionaire" can win the award.

Two awards for Best Director and Best Picture~~They are undoubtedly one of the biggest favorites tonight."

Host Jon Stewart also held the microphone with great excitement and asked Danny Boyle: "Danny, welcome to Hollywood, welcome to the Oscars~"

"Today is really wonderful. It's really nice to be able to invite so many people from the crew~~We created this movie like a family~~" Danny Boyle seemed so excited that he couldn't even speak.
