Chapter 885： 81st Oscars

The driving distance from the Firefly Building to the Kodak Theater is not far, about 40 minutes.

Oh, by the way, today is February 23, the day of the 81st Academy Awards.

To be honest, every time Lehman participates, he feels that it is more magical every year. Of course, the future is no longer called magic, it is called stacking labels.

So instead of focusing on it, it is better to focus on the people around you.

However, Lehmann finally persuaded Eva to leave the "Crescent Moon" crew to temporarily stop work and come to sit with him, enduring hunger and exhaustion to accompany him.

in the car.

Eva wore a dark purple woolen skirt with a waist and stiletto high heels. Her makeup is also her favorite purple eyeshadow fairy line. It is very different from the lazy look that is not so particular on weekdays, and looks more pleasing and sexy.

Especially the slender calf was tightly wrapped in black stockings, which made Lehmann's thoughts drift too far. He didn't pay attention to any red carpet, catwalk or academy selection.

Eva noticed this fiery gaze, and felt a little satisfied. After dressing up carefully for a long time, she should have a role to play. Not to mention anything else, when she gradually focused on the field of production, she seldom cared about every day like this. Actors and stars who have to face the camera at any time are as delicate. After all, behind the scenes, there is a lot of power and little spotlight.

Came to the venue and waited for the announcement of the ceremony planner. The nominated crew entered the inner auditorium through the red carpet in an orderly manner.

There are still so many media, still such a lively scene.

After all the people who were supposed to go in entered, Lyman greeted the filmmaker he knew a few times, and took Eva to sit in the seat to rest.

Similar social networking has little effect on Lehmann. Few of the studio's executives will come. It may be that when the results are summarized the next day, when you know that a certain movie has won the award, you can pay attention to the award-winning director.

After all, through the Oscar, there are too many directors who have won big projects. There is at least one guarantee in the academy voting. Those who can win the best director will at least not be poor in directing ability and have solid basic skills.

So, when Lehman was not so eager, everyone didn't dare to bother him. After all, identities are different.

About half an hour later, Edward Norton, who had finished socializing, sat on his right, looking a little nervous, and he revealed some expectations under his nervousness.

The public relations team arranged for him by the brokerage company told him that this time, he is very likely to win the best male protagonist, because the previous "Fight Club" and "Kingdom of Heaven" have already accumulated a lot of "points" for him.

And there is a gap between Sean Penn's "Milk", Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Frank Langella's "Conversation with Nixon", and Richard Jenkins' "Visitor of Life" in the same period. Yes, if the judges are politically inclined, maybe "Conversation with Nixon" will have an advantage. He and Sean Penn's more breakthrough performances are very appetizing to the judges.

In other words, as long as he doesn't do any **** and just relies on his expressiveness, he does have great hopes. The advantage is that the reputation of "The Ninth District" is stronger than that of "Milk". Whether it is the media critics or the audience, it has been praised by the audience. The title is "classic"; the disadvantage is that the box office is too high, which may slightly suppress the impression.

It has been a day or two for Oscar to reject the theory of achievement.

But tonight, it was destined to be surprising.

......

After the song and dance show, as usual, some awards that are not so important to fans are given out.

Among them, after "Iron Man" won the best visual effect, Scott Ross, who had too many honors in the digital field, simply didn't come, and let his deputy go up to do a wave of publicity for the company.

Anyway, when Cameron was still around, the digital field also often won the Oscar technology award. If the number of awards was high, it would be really difficult to pay attention to it. Tower Digital.

During the boring waiting time, the ceremony went on like this for more than 20 minutes, which made people feel a little refreshed.

When the best foreign language golden statuette was taken away by "The Undertaker", Yojiro Takita's excited gesture seemed to put some seriousness on the 81st Oscars.

It still has value, weight, and hope.

When it was the turn of the best actress to be taken away by Kate Winslet, Edward Norton, who was in a complicated mood, didn't know how to place his hands.

Lehmann shook his head and felt that his appearance was too different from the face that was constantly arguing for his performance during the filming.

It seems that some people do not regard actors as their only choice, and they cannot escape the temptation of Oscar statuettes.

Then Edward, who is a little restless, can understand it very well. He is 39 years old, and he is the pinnacle of male actors. Whether it is acting or screen charm, if he misses it again, when will he not regret it?

Then, he boiled.

Hearing his name from the envelope, Edward stood up immediately and hugged Lyman fiercely, with a lot of strength.

For a while, applause erupted, surrounding him on the podium.

Yes, Edward succeeded in taking away the best male protagonist among his competitors.

In fact, there is no suspense. After having been nominated for many Oscars for actor awards, he has won him in the queue Not to mention the great change in the central road of "The Ninth District" and the contrast between the front and rear characters, all of which are bonus.

It's not just the appearance that is deformed.

And everyone generally agrees that Edward has exerted his strength and endowed the character with extra charm, which is why he won the appreciation of the judges and took over the honor.

At this moment, apart from some scenes, Edward is most grateful for the director Lyman Rust, who gave him the opportunity and space to interpret. "District 9" is undoubtedly an excellent movie, and he is also worthy of the best actor. Lord Little Golden Man.

But even so, apart from such a small episode that paid off for "District 9", "Slumdog Millionaire" is basically the only one.

Best Cinematography, Best Original Music, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Sound Mixing... 8 nominations and 5 were taken away, which is enough to show how much the judges like this American expression The romance of his works has a large pattern, European humanistic care, and exotic style, and has both sharp and thorough works in image and thought.

More importantly, the crisis in 2008 has not yet dissipated, and everyone hopes that there will be such a slightly inspirational theme to boost morale, which undoubtedly further implements the results of the "Ninth District" running with it.

However, Oscar doesn't always play his cards according to common sense. You think he is praising, but in fact, he may be compensating. If you think it is compensation, he is really praising.

on the seat.

Danny Ball's mood has not calmed down for a long time. He thought that the long-awaited golden man was waving to him, but now, everything has changed, it is a dream.

Received 5 awards in a row, wouldn't it be the peak again? Why did you go to the bottom of the valley...
