Chapter 513： Actor Award

Until about six o'clock in the evening, there were several song and dance shows one after another, and the host Chris Rock came on.

This is a comedian, but the actor is only a deputy. Most of the time, he usually works as a variety show host on nbc TV station, and he is very quick-witted.

After a brief introduction and jokes about the guests, the atmosphere was instantly mobilized, "Actually, after I received the Oscar invitation, I didn't believe it, because I didn't have any work shortlisted at all, but I was a guest host, watching others accept the award, I just thought , this is really torture, because everyone else can bring their girlfriends on the red carpet happily, I am not only alone, but also have to wait for the opening time backstage..."

Speaking of this, Chris widened his eyes funny and swept across the front row of the audience, as if he was really expressing his dissatisfaction.

Therefore, this person is quite skillful in controlling the field, and he said a few one-liners before bringing the topic back to the nominated works.

Naturally, the Oscars also start with less important awards first.

Among the lively music in the audience, the first award tonight was Best Supporting Actress.

This award, "Million Dollar Baby", was not shortlisted, and was finally won by Cate Blanchett, relying on the natural and capable performance in "The Aviator", without any controversy.

"Clap clap clap."

applause.

After Kate hugged the crew members next to them one by one, she walked to the podium - she wasn't too excited, but she was still happy.

Underneath, Hillary was also smiling, meaning that she had one more chance of winning.

After all, although Oscar doesn't like to divide pork very much, "The Aviator" is one of the most beautiful this year. If all of them win some small prizes, wouldn't it mean that the grand prizes belong to each other - it can't be all of them. Oscar is not so generous.

"Best Visual Effects Spider-Man 2."

"Best Sound for The Incredibles."

"Best Costume Award for "The Aviator".

"Best Song "Motorcycle Diary"."

……

Next, as expected at the time of the nomination, the judges were really disgusting or compensating Martin Scorsese. In the technical department, special effects blockbusters must stand out. The project leader of Industrial Light and Magic and Sony special effects are almost complete, but the latter What costume awards, art direction, best makeup and other leftovers, "The Aviator" has all been included, it seems that the Oscar judges appreciate "The Aviator" very much?

It's a pity that when it comes to the important awards, such as the best original screenplay and the best adapted screenplay, there is nothing.

As the awards were announced one after another, the atmosphere became tense.

When the presenter Sean Penn opened the envelope, the audience stared at him...

"In any movie, when the hero and heroine show their brilliance, there is always a green leaf to set off, and a good supporting role will undoubtedly make the movie more brilliant, so let's see who has been nominated for the best male supporting role. "

After reading the script, the nominated movie clips appeared on the big screen one after another - Clive Owen of "Heart Stealing", Thomas Church of "Life with a Glass of Wine", Jamie Foxx of "Murder by Knife", Allen of "The Aviator" - Elda and Morgan Freeman from Million Dollar Baby.

Of the above, anyone could win the award, but in the end, Morgan Freeman won, perhaps because the judges didn't want to neglect the "Million Dollar Baby" crew too much.

Morgan Freeman was quite indifferent, and his acceptance speech was also very simple, "...I would like to thank everyone who contributed to the filming of this film, especially for the recognition of the judges and Lyman Russ. special director."

At this moment, Hillary was even more restless and nervous.

"Best Actor: Clint Eastwood..."

Yeah, congratulations. Ryman thought the jury was kind enough to save face, but he probably wouldn't give "Million Dollar Baby" the best picture, although he always thought the movie deserved it.

Eastwood was a little emotional, and said that he would continue to struggle - Sidney Lumet can still win an Oscar and make movies at the age of 80. Compared with him, I am still 8 years younger.

Well, the old man has such ambitions, and he did exactly that. The later generations are all ninety, and they still look very healthy, and they are still directing and acting...

The applause paused, and the awards continued.

"The following is the Best Actress Award..."

In an instant, Lyman felt that Hillary next to him had stopped breathing, clenched his fists with both hands, and could hardly take his eyes off the envelope.

"Congratulations to Hilary Swank, Maggie in "Million Dollar Baby"..."

Hillary didn't hear it clearly at all. After the name was announced, her mind was a little dazed at first, followed by a scream, she stood up and pulled Lehman over, not to mention how excited she was.

Lehmann didn't remember much about this list, but she vaguely knew that the best actress was Hillary's. Her performance was really wonderful, and except for a few changes, the rest remained largely unchanged. She still won the second golden statuette.

On the stage, she said with red eyes: "I don't know what contribution I have made in my life, so that I am so taken care of by the goddess of luck, of course, I am very grateful to director Lyman Rast for his hard work, without him Given a chance, I don't think it's possible for me to stand here..."

Offstage Several of the nominees were forced to smile, watching the winner's incoherent speech, almost everyone wanted to replace them.

Of course, more guests were secretly looking at Lehmann's side.

This time, "Million Dollar Baby" almost won the actor category except for the best supporting actress, but it should not be too powerful.

When I saw Lehman help Cage make a comeback again, he became more and more powerful, and his mind was different for a while, especially when he was an actor, he felt that Lehman's works were popular - the new a-category actress Eva was also supported by him. of.

Of course, how imposing "Million Dollar Baby" is now can bring out how frustrated "The Aviator" is.

What's more, there is no one with gold content, Martin Scorsese wants to leave halfway - if he is a little rational, he really wants to leave.

Then, the jury went too far, best director and best picture were given to "Finding Neverland".

Lehmann knew that he definitely had no hope. In his previous life, "Million Dollar Baby" won these two awards because Clint Eastwood had the qualifications. People have been in Hollywood for decades, and it would be bad if they didn't give them.

But Lehman is the first time to be shortlisted, and he may be directly excluded because of qualifications - Warner's PR team also said the same, and suggested targeting the screenplay award and actor award.

The result is also the same. I don't know why I didn't win the script award, but the actor award was very rewarding.

But in what way, the director Martin has enough qualifications, and the quality of "The Aviator" is absolutely guaranteed. At least in Lyman's view, "Looking for Neverland" is slightly worse, but it is not given. What can be done? ?
