Naomi watts, an Australian actress, walked down the red carpet of the Avenue of Stars with her boyfriend Heath Ledger in a Versace gown. She said, "It's an honor to be here. But I think this year is a good year for Charlize. " Charlize Theron was nominated for starring in The Devil, and Watts' remarks can also be regarded as the style of giving in first.

For the first time, joe roth, former director of Disney Film Studio, was the producer of the live broadcast. To prevent the accident from happening again, there will be a five-second delay. The producer promised that the delay would not be used to check the political statements of Oscar winners or hosts. But when Ross arrived, he told reporters that he was not satisfied with the five-second delay. He said: "I feel sorry for the delay. Once a habit is formed, it becomes bad news. One year may be due to embarrassing excuses, and the other year may be due to political reasons. " The 76th Academy Awards Gala is about to begin, and businesses in Washington, D.C., have made all kinds of preparations for it: from movie cocktails with various names, to movies with the same name nominated by Oscar, and then to partying in hotels like Hollywood stars. Local hotels and guesthouses hope to take this opportunity to make a fortune.
