Meetings, prodes and drinking games: delivery of these awards is already a favorite excuse to get together with friends
Every year the same question: why again we are seeing the Oscar? Why we submit voluntarily to sit four hours in front of the TV to be protagonists liabilities of a more or less predictable ceremony?
Tomorrow Awards Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences are delivered, the highest award the workers can aspire industry the big screen and one of the oldest traditions of Hollywood. Gradually, and perhaps to alleviate the torpor of the transmission, it was also becoming one of the most anticipated social traditions by those who look for TV stations, but they can share with their friends. Perhaps it is because of the networks, especially Twitter, that each show gets Oscar monothematic and draws else who wants to comment as pariah. Like the sporting events, the awards are the few television dinosaurs that only makes sense consume in real time: what is the grace to see an awards ceremony on demand?
But the sports atmosphere also moves to the analog and social life offline. The Oscars are the World Cup final or the Superbowl of the most recognized figures in the world. And, like the top football events engendered in recent years the most varied rituals to enjoy in the company.
Miriam Molero is a journalist and this year puts his house to watch the ceremony with some colleagues, friends and even strangers. “It’s the first time we gather for the Oscars, but since we met at home for the World Cup or any other reason I like to invite groups of people;.. Especially organize barbeques with strangers I feel super healthy interacting with new people, which I have been interesting, for example on Twitter. So I became very good friends, “he says. Each guest brings something to drink or snacks and the meeting and has grill designated for choripaneada, because “it is key that the food is practical to circulate while watching TV.”
Another point in common with the major sporting events is the fun aspect about forecasts: non nominees also play and Prode of who gets the statuettes is standard in the joined Oscar. Once confirmed your guests, Molero proposed by mail betting system… “All items were voted the most correct answers gets wins the prize is to be defined, we must see how much you’re willing to bet it is important that rules are clear, because some people are very competitive. “
for ten years, Mariano Torres and his brother Martin are parading livings turn to friends, partners and former partners. The seat rotates, so the host varies annually. The rules of the game are also rigorous: each guest takes print and complete the form with your bets. If you did not complete it, it has up to ten minutes before the show tolerance. “We have a prize, usually a book or a movie, and also a punishment prize for the least guessed right” details. But gets more complex: “At the same time, to prevent a draw, each participant takes an approximate number of how many celebrities were killed and going out in the cold cuts in memoriam The award is a great time of night..” Traditions are mutating every year and the surprises are key in the meetings. Once they decorated the house with a red carpet and even got to record and pass fake trailers before the ceremony. “There was a year in which we made a cake with Jack Nicholson’s face,” he recalls.
There are those who are not Reu-nen but still compete. Fernanda Fechtenholz, architect, celebrated the sixteenth “family Prode” Oscar this year. The tradition, which began when they were living together, today continues separately and added to the pairs of each. “The first year my mom until the last moment remained and made the count, but now I take care of everything by mail. Mando Excel table with the nominees, complete it and then sent her all to whoever wants would audit “he says, but clarifies that nobody does. This year is special because it is the first time that not only played for the honor but will award: “You should put together a vaquita to make more competitive the matter The family has timba in the cuore.”
.in addition to the Oscar, the group of friends of Tatiana Mon Avalle, community manager, also joins Emmy, Golden Globe and Grammy. Tatiana Prode no weapon but does not leave out the playful side and managed a drinking game: “To make it more fun, we usually set a movie and had a glass of beer with each category to win.” The organization is always done through WhatsApp and as far gathered in the same house, there were logistical problems. “But this year the group widened so we plan to bring the meeting to a bar passing delivery on the big screen.” Why should a spectator fall into such trouble just to see an awards show? “They are a good excuse to hang out with friends and discuss points of view, from a dress to address a movie. We like to get together more for laughs than for the awards itself,” he says.
Mariano Torres believes that there is an urgent need to feel belonging and channeled to these events. “As a personal answer, because there is a better plan for a Sunday night and we love the absurdity of four hours of sleep because of this.” Carolina Aguirre screenwriter Martin Fierro won two awards for his work in the Farsantes and Belles strips, but does not share the enthusiasm for the ceremony. Like, put your home for the occasion. They meet every year, although he admits that the main reason is because he organized his friends. “When are the Martin Fierro, rented suites at the Hilton and that’s good because it’s nice to see that your friend is nominated. Here do not know anyone, do not understand what we will see …” The meeting is usually a Prode, driven by a friend who tries, in vain, that Aguirre interested. “I do not quite understand grace, but I’m very in favor of hanging out with friends for any reason.”
Axel Kuschevatzky is also familiar with the universe of the awards. For years, it is the driver of the red carpet at the Oscar telecast on TNT, and even won the award for Best Foreign Film for the production of the film The Secret in Their Eyes. Despite the experience in the first person, Axel yearns for the time when he saw them with his family. “We had a ritual with my brother, we were fans of John Williams. In the 80s he was nominated all the time and always wanted to win.” And in matches, stuffed for our favorites this year, all the breath is upon the possible triumph of Leonardo DiCaprio, whose frustration at not winning for Best Actor became a meme that year is recycled year
.
the journalist and producer indicates that there are two major reasons behind the rituals. On the one hand, for the cinephile audience, the Academy reward what he likes is a validation of your opinion. But there is a much larger common denominator and has to do with the humanization of the stars: “When you go to the movies, the actors are giants on a screen When you see them lose at the Oscars, you’re at a normal guy in defeat.. we are all equal.” To Kuschevatzky, who lived the Oscars in the same room as Meryl Streep, James Cameron and George Clooney, the best location is the home living. “It’s a lot better for the spectator event for the guest There’s always see it from the same angle, the distance, chiquititos … From experience, is like football. Is cuter to watch on TV than in the court. “
