The main intrigue of the 89-th “Oscar” was the question, how many prizes will be given to the musical “La La Land”.

If you manage to swim to a beautiful beach, the ship called “La La land”, a musical paying homage to the Golden age of Hollywood, with its 14 nominations — record up film to “Titanic”? Asked this question all the movie lovers 89 on the eve of the ceremony of the Academy awards.

The organizers of the “Oscar-2017” was something to think about after last year’s ceremony, which critics have declared almost the end of film. I must say, the organizing Committee has a great job and diligently considered all complaints and fulfilled promises. One of them is to increase the number of academics, they became over the past year, 683 people more! Fixed another drawback: the absence of the nominated actors and Directors with dark skin. This time for Oscars in these categories was nominated seven African Americans. Much less among the nominees this time the British. Because academics have accused that in recent years they have experienced a clear weakness to colleagues from Foggy Albion.

A pre-criticized the excessive softness of the academics, just the “prodigal son” Mel Gibson. It is more than ten years was considered a Hollywood persona non grata. And then nominated his new directorial film “conscientious objector” — and the Gibson as a Director. And thus, once again took in his arms (Gibson is an Oscar winner for “Braveheart” in 1996) rowdy, insulting a police officer, home of the perpetrator (scandals with ex-girlfriend Oksana Grigorieva), received three years probation one of the lawsuits.

By the same principle tried to slightly spoil the party the younger brother of Ben Affleck — actor Casey Affleck. He played brilliantly in the film “Manchester by the sea” and got to “Oscar” and “Golden globe” and other awards. But brother recalled lawsuits 2010 for sexual harassment, filed by him from two women. Although before the court then is not reached, the parties agreed behind the scenes, the amount of arrangements as well as proof of guilt Affleck, in addition to statements ladies, the audience was not provided.

Three weeks before the ceremony, the nominees (more than 160) gathered for a traditional lunch at a hotel in Beverly hills. Gourmet lunch came to enjoy Meryl Streep, but rehabilitated Mel Gibson continuously showed the audience a photo of his ninth child, and boasted an excellent appetite son. Nicole Kidman, as usual in recent times, have shared their desire to have more children (no wonder the actress plays the adoptive mother in the film “lion”) and claimed that, in her opinion, the best host the ceremony of “Oscar” — Hugh Jackman. The tables were decorated with orchids and roses in pastel shades, and for dessert they served chocolate-covered strawberries and champagne — the harbinger of victory for the main festival in the world cinema.
