2007 Oscar Nominee


Undoubtedly,one of the most popular news is the list of Oscar nominations in 2007 who comes out fresh this week. The Academy Awards, affectionately known as the Oscars, are the oldest, best known, most influential, most prestigious, and famous of film awards.


However, there were a few surprises in the list of nominees for the 79th Annual Academy Awards. Oscar nominations were announced in Beverly Hills by Sid Ganis, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and former Oscar nominee Salma Hayek. As we can see, many films and film workers who have international background have been nominated in 79th Oscar Awards, once this indicates centering on oneself Hollywood being casting sight to the whole world gradually.


Many acquisitions are nominated for the films are without in USA shoot, the content of story has been narrated being far away from the American, and subject having more international significance as like discuss global warming and individual situation in war or in force etc.

So, along with globalization course carry with the world, Hollywood evidently is trying to change self. Culture and language barrier have gone with the wind, film becomes a good approach for expressing emotion and human nature, and also has the strength breaking the region and the national boundaries obstacle.

Certainly,I would like to have more expecting red carpet of Oscar in February 25, because from the screen sirens of the past to today's modern beauties, the Academy Awards always reflect the incomparable elegance of Hollywood.

my view of blog...

This is my first time to write a blog by using so much of time. If we were been surfing the web for the past few years, we undoubtedly heard of "blogs" or weblogs. But I am not very clear until now that what are "blogs" or weblogs, why is it become popular? How and why the phenomenon influenced our life? When we understand more about "blogs" or weblogs, maybe we will get more interested to writing our blogs.

I think that a blog is often a mixture of what is happening in a person's life and what is happening on the Web, a kind of hybrid diary/guide site, and also, there are many unique designs of blogs that can show the author’s personality. These personal Internet journals have become popular like a storm. Different bloggers write about different themes, sort of newspaper columnist but with no specialized training necessary.

However, blog is not only for writing, it is including the different types of technique and pattern designs. A blog comprising videos is called a vlog, one comprising links is called a linklog, a site containing a portfolio of sketches is called a sketchblog or one comprising photos is called a photoblog. Otherwise, several blog search engines are used to search blog contents (also known as the blogosphere), such as blogdigger, Feedster, and Technorati. Technorati provides current information on both popular searches and tags used to categorize blog postings. The importance of the blogging community (and its relationship to a larger society) increased rapidly. But partly, some blogs are strictly vanity projects as they ramble on their daily observations of family and friends. For others, blogs take on a deeper meaning. Blogs can be used to state the political statements, promote products, and provide research information, and give tutorials. If there's a subject that interests you, there's a good chance someone's writing a blog about it.

In addition to, blogs have also become the center of controversy. Though you can write what you want in the blog, you're not exempt from the repercussions. Anyone who makes a controversial statement had best be well prepared to back it up.
Many bloggers differentiate themselves from the mainstream media, while others are the members of that media working through a different channel. Some institutions see blogging as a means of "getting around the filter" and pushing messages directly to the public. Some critics worry that bloggers respect neither copyright nor the role of the mass media in presenting society with credible news.

In conclusion, the role of blogs became a mainstream increasingly; there are essentially two measures of this: popularity through citations, as well as popularity through affiliation (i.e. blogroll). The basic conclusion from studies of the structure of blogs is that while it takes time for a blog to become popular through blogrolls, permalinks can boost popularity more quickly, and are perhaps more indicative of popularity and authority than blogrolls, since they denote that people are actually reading the blog's content and deem it valuable or noteworthy in specific cases.
