On February 12, the whole rice and even the whole world focused on Los Angeles and New York in the United States. Everyone was anxiously waiting for a voting result. Members of the screenwriter association were voting simultaneously in these two cities to decide the process of the strike drama.

After the final vote, at the American Hollywood press conference, Veron, chairman of the American Western writers' Union, announced a good news that relieved all the nervous people: 92.5% of the more than 37000 people who participated in the vote advocated ending the strike, and all writers will return to work behind the scenes.

Looking back on the more than 100 days of the writers' strike, many Americans suddenly didn't know how to spend their free time. Turn on the TV, they can't see the soap operas that were popular in the past, and the replay of the plays is delayed indefinitely; When they came to the cinema, they could not see the blockbuster planned to be released, and the shooting of the film was delayed indefinitely; Even the annual Golden Globe Awards ceremony, which shines with countless stars, has become a press conference.

Screenwriters, who used to work silently behind the scenes, jumped onto the stage and staged a strike drama written, directed and performed by themselves in front of the public. This drama shook the entertainment industry in the United States and nearly paralyzed the Hollywood entertainment industry with an annual profit of $30 billion.

Now it's finally over. The two sides decided to put aside their prejudices and work together. In this general strike, major TV stations suffered the most, and the losses of film companies have not yet emerged. Many blockbusters under preparation and production have postponed and suspended their release plans, and avatar, which has nothing to do with this dime, has also postponed its release plans, 20th century fox knew that James Cameron was taking the opportunity to jump tickets, but there was nothing he could do. This guy did this kind of thing for the first and last time.

In this strike storm, mm handled it best. In addition to variety shows, several ace dramas can not be broadcast. None of the tribes monopolizes the screen, and the ratings overwhelm the four major channels. None of the blockbusters being prepared or released by the film company has been released or suspended.

Therefore, in terms of film box office in 2007, mm monopolized 2.1 billion of the $10 billion box office, ranking first.

In terms of the earnings of the whole group, it is not much different from Disney group. They integrated mm TV network this year; Acquired Pixar and created the world's largest imxa theater mm theater. At the same time, they also issued an invitation to rainbow media holding group to acquire AMC theater on the first working day of 2008.

Rainbow media is one of the top ten media companies in beimi, including AMC TV station and AMC cinema company.

AMC cinema is the second largest cinema group in the world. In 2007, its revenue was about 2 billion US dollars, the number of film viewers was about 200 million, and the total number of employees was about 20000. AMC has 321 cinemas with a total of 5028 screens. Among them, there are 10 IMAX screens and 920 3D screens. It is the world's largest IMAX and 3D screen operation company. AMC's cinemas are concentrated in the center of beimi large cities, and 23 of the top 50 cinemas with the largest box office in beimi.

Once the acquisition is successful, mm cinema will become the largest cinema company in the world. The acquisition price is US $2.8 billion to acquire 100% equity, plus its foreign debt of US $1.1 billion.

According to Pengbo information on Wall Street, rainbow media, which has been affected by the subprime mortgage crisis and debt pressure, is very interested in this, and the two sides are in production negotiations.

Mm is the only group to buy enterprises on a large scale in the strike. The impact of the strike on them can be ignored. They can live as they should.

On the list of nominations for the 80th Academy Awards released on January 22, no country for old people directed by mark and blood is coming directed by Paul Thomas Anderson are undoubtedly the biggest winners, with eight nominations each. However, the performance of the feature film Michael Clayton starring George Clooney is also eye-catching, including best film, best director, best actor The best supporting actor and actress and the best original screenplay can be seen in almost every main unit. Atonement, which has won seven nominations like Michael Clayton, occupies a place in the two main units of best film and best supporting actress.

In addition to Michael Clayton and Atonement, best picture nominees include no country for old age, blood is coming and Juno.

This year's Oscar winner will be Daniel Day Lewis, George Clooney, John Depp, Tommy Lee Jones and Viggo Vivan. As in previous years, Oscars always bring accidents to people. Although the decisive battle against the valley of Elah starring Tommy Lee Jones is highly praised, it is difficult to find a trace in various awards ceremonies. The recognition of Oscars finally makes up for the neglect of films and actors.

Eva Green, Alan Peggy, Julie Christie, Kate Blanche and Laura Lynne will compete for the title of Queen of the film. In addition to being nominated as Queen of the film, the elf queen also won the nomination for best female partner, which is a big hit and double insurance.

The nominees for best supporting actor were Javier Barton, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Kathy Affleck, Hal Holbrooke and Wilkinson.

The five actors nominated for best supporting actress are Kate Blanche, ruby Di, sylsa Ronan, Amy Ryan and Tilda Swinton.

Mark, Anderson, diving bell and butterfly director Julian Schnabel, Juno director Jason Letterman and Michael Clayton director Gillow were nominated for best director respectively for their respective works. However, mark, who has won three awards, has now become a hot spot, taking the lead, like Daniel Day Lewis in the acting department, It is rolling against other opponents.

Two old actors who have never been nominated, 83 year old Ruby Di and 82 year old Hal Holbrooke, won the nomination for best supporting role with American Gangster and out of the wilderness respectively, and finally realized their long cherished wish for life. However, Javier, who was nominated with him, is too powerful. Killer Anton is known as one of the top ten screen villains, and he is also crushing others.

There are joys and sorrows at the Oscars. The most frustrated this year are Joe Wright, the director of atonement who has failed to make any contribution in the best director and performance unit, and the two starring Keira Knightley and James McEVO; Angelina Jolie, who performed well in "a strong heart", and Sean pan, the director of "out of the wilderness", were also ignored and returned empty handed.

According to the Oscar process: December 3, 2007

Submit the official list of performers; The nomination ballot paper was sent on December 26; The nomination ballot was closed on 12 January 2008; The final ballot paper was sent on 22 January 2008; Luncheon of nominees and group photo of all nominees on February 4, 2008; Science and technology award ceremony on February 9, 2008; The final ballot was closed on February 19, 2008; On February 24, 2008, the 80th Academy Awards ceremony.

The college stipulates that once the nomination is announced, all public relations activities will be stopped immediately. In previous years, no company has complied with this requirement. They just do it more hidden and low-key, because they are now turning to the stage of accurate public relations.

By this year, many companies thought that the Oscar could not be held, and they did not carry out public relations activities. The college judges were also sought after and public relations by relevant people. They were very unhappy. Many people ignored this and had a big party! Make a big feast and stir up the momentum of your own film company.

To put it mildly, everyone has been hungry and thirsty for several months. If we don't take the opportunity to catch a handful, can we wait for next year? How to make up for the loss?

Hollywood suddenly became lively and restored the style of singing and dancing in the past. The college turned a blind eye to this. Who didn't want to live? This annual Oscar is the best stage for college judges and students to exert their influence. If they miss it, it will be a huge loss.

Mm did the best in public relations. After the award season began, their public relations activities did not stop, because they knew that the Oscar would not stop, did not wait and see, did not hesitate, and did what they should do? This has won the favor of many people in the college.

Therefore, after the Golden Globe Award, whether it is "no country for old people", or "Juno" and "life of roses", it suddenly became hot and became the biggest hit now.

Mark didn't hold his own big name identity. He took a group photo with all the nominees at the nominees' luncheon on February 4, accepted the interview arranged by the official, and attended the official party. This was done very well. Many old guys nodded. Mark did a good job. If he wasn't too young and too junior, he was only 25 years old, he would be sure of the award.

John Singleton, the youngest nominee, was nominated for best director and Best Original Screenplay at the 68th Oscar of "block boy" in 1991 (24 years old)

Norman taulogue, the youngest winner, won the Fourth Academy Award for best director in 1931 (32 years old) children's feature film "skypie".

At present, the average age of the best director at the Academy Award is 46, which is almost double that of mark. Unlike the Acting Department, talent and efforts are added. Youth fame is not extravagant talk. Directors need artistic talent and life perception, which all need time accumulation.

"Age is the greatest strength for mark to win the best director award," the Hollywood Daily said

The original Cohen brothers have been in Hollywood for 30 years, won Cannes recognition three times, and finally won the best film with no country for old people! Best director award.

However, some people have objections. This is a film. It focuses on talent and artistry, not moving bricks or fighting the elderly in nursing homes. If it is rejected by seniority, what awards will be held? Just count your resume directly and give the award. Both sides have their own opinions and opinions. However, if mark can win the award, it will be a historic breakthrough.
