Evan Bell looked at Christopher Nolan next to him and patted the back of his hand, causing Christopher Nolan to turn his head and look over. Evan Bell showed a teasing smile to his friend, as if he was teasing Christopher Nolan. Nervous, this made Christopher Nolan twitch the corners of his mouth involuntarily.
Christopher Nolan was indeed a little nervous, but it was not because he was looking forward to the award or worrying about gains and losses, but because he couldn't help but be infected by the tense atmosphere at the scene. The previous filming of "The Dark Knight" did not allow Christopher Nolan to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director. This is actually a pity. But this time relying on "Inception" to be nominated, for Christopher Nolan What a happy event.
Strictly speaking, in the competition for Best Director, the biggest attraction is the confrontation between the two British directors David Fincher and Tom Hopper. Is the former crowned with hard work and merit, or the latter relies on historical heritage to return the Oscar to tradition? is the topic that interests people the most. On the other hand, David Russell's ability to overturn the British forces and hold on to the American position is also worth looking forward to.
As for the Coen brothers, their Oscar "exposure" has remained high in recent years, and this time "True Grit" is not the most outstanding work. It is not well received and even failed to be nominated for the Directors Guild Award; while Christopher Nolan It was dragged down by Evan Bell. Not to mention the previous Best Director wins for "There Will Be Blood" and "Juno", this year is the seventh consecutive year that Evan Bell has been nominated for Best Director. William Wyler's twelve nominations are not far away. It can be seen that Evan Bell's Oscar exposure is really high, which will inevitably affect people's voting direction.
so. Objectively speaking, the Best Director Award went to David Fincher, director of "The Social Network," Tom Hopper, director of "The King's Speech," Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan, directors of "Inception," and "The Fighter." Director David Russell and the directors of "True Grit", the Coen brothers, the gap between the top five contestants is not big, and no one who wins can be considered an upset; but according to the trend in recent years, and the situation of the entire previous awards season , the showdown between David Fincher and Tom Hopper is undoubtedly the biggest attraction.
Under such circumstances, Christopher Nolan is even more relaxed. After being teased by Evan Bell like this, he even laughed in a low mood and made simple eye contact with Evan Bell. The tacit understanding between them was also projected on the big screen through the camera, making the scene burst into low laughter.
After Hilary Swank introduced the waiting list, she opened the envelope in her hand without hesitation. He glanced at the envelope inside. He raised his head with a smile and announced into the microphone, "The winners of the 83rd Academy Award for Best Director are Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan, 'Inception'."
In an instant, the whole audience was filled with shouts and shouts. Evan Bell actually won the Best Director Award again after a year. Of course. Tonight's Director Award is probably more of a tribute to Christopher Nolan. The previous failure of "The Dark Knight" accumulated countless sympathy votes and guilt votes. Coupled with Evan Bell's positive blessing, the final award fell on "Inception".
Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan defeated David Fincher and Tom Hopper in an almost fierce competition, becoming the first in film history after Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise in "West Side Story" The pairing that won the Oscar for Best Director!
When Hilary Swank's voice came out of the microphone, Evan Bell's first reaction was to stand up from his chair, almost jump, and then hugged Christopher Nolan with joy. Compared to Evan Bell winning an award or even making history, he is obviously more happy that Christopher Nolan is recognized. This also means that this talented director has won the recognition of the Academy by relying on his deep exploration of commercial films. , this is really rare.
Leonardo DiCaprio immediately jumped on Evan Bell's back, and his laughter was like a storm on Evan Bell's eardrums, clearly conveying his joy. The crew of "Inception" all slapped the backs of Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan with their palms, conveying their inner happiness and joy with this direct and intense expression.
Evan Bell took the lead on the stage. Christopher Nolan stood there for a moment, as if his brain still hadn't reacted. Later, he was pushed by Leonardo DiCaprio, and then he took steps to keep up with Evan Bell. Wen Beier, walked onto the stage together.
Hilary Swank and Evan Bell haven¡¯t seen each other for a long time. Today¡¯s meeting brought such exciting news. Evan Bell gave Hilary Swank a heavy hug and hugged her face. whispering in the earSaying "Thank you, thank you!" Hilary Swank was obviously very happy, and her hearty laughter was particularly clear.
Seeing Christopher Nolan also come on stage, Hilary Swank also gave him a hug, and then awarded the statuettes to Evan Bell and Christopher Nolan respectively, and then took a big step back, leaving the stage to the two protagonists.
Christopher Nolan still looked at Evan Bell this time, and then walked to the microphone with joy, and spoke first, "Well, thank you Emma, ??thank you to my lovely children, thank you to Jonathan, thank you to my parents , thank you for your support, allowing me to stand here today." At this point, Christopher Nolan paused, seemed to be organizing his own words, and then continued, "While creating this movie During the process, I feel it is very wonderful. I believe this is a good story, and I also believe that I can make an excellent movie. But without Evan, I don¡¯t think everything would be so wonderful, Evan. Giving this movie more depth, I mean that, so I have to thank Evan."
The applause of the audience rang out along with Christopher Nolan¡¯s words. Evan Bell stood in the back and made a knight¡¯s salute to the audience with a smile, making everyone smile.
Christopher Nolan then said, "During the filming process, there were many very difficult challenges. Thank you for having a perfect team and a group of the most dedicated actors. It is you who made my dream become a reality. Thank you." ." After saying that, Christopher Nolan took half a step back and gave up the stage to Evan Bell.
Evan Bell took a half-step forward, "Very good, I won't thank Chris anymore, lest the audience say we are too boring and only flatter each other." This sentence immediately made the whole audience laugh, and Evan Bell still turned around and cast a teasing look at Christopher Nolan. The tacit understanding between the two people was obviously extraordinary. "At first, Chris and I thought it would be a good thing to make a movie together, but when the work started, we thought it was a disaster. The whole process went through a lot of hardships, arguments, and bitterness, but we finally completed it. It would be great if the audience likes this work, and even more fortunately, Chris and I felt that it would be a good thing to make a movie together. Fortunately, this movie did not destroy Our friendship, it¡¯s the best thing.¡±
When two directors jointly direct a film, they not only have to blend their own personalities and concepts, but also deal with the conflicts caused by different directing styles. This is not an easy task. Evan Bell's speech clearly presented this process, and this is also the biggest reason why "Inception" made history, because it combines the different concepts of two outstanding directors.
Evan Bell actually knew that this was the best opportunity to announce his withdrawal, because he was not sure whether he would win a better opportunity later, but after thinking about it, he still swallowed the words. This is his moment, but it is also a moment that belongs to Christopher Nolan, and it is a moment that belongs to both of them. There is no need for him to use his own explosive news to take away the focus of this moment. If there is no chance after that, then choose Oscar night.
Thinking of this, Evan Bell went on to say, "This is a wonderful movie, yes, that's what I think." Evan Bell's self-promotion made the audience burst into laughter, but it was also followed by a burst of laughter. Applause, "So I hope the audience can enjoy this process. This is my biggest gain, and I believe it is also Chris's. Finally, thank you!"
After finishing speaking, Evan Bell stopped talking nonsense. Turning around, Christopher Nolan gave Evan Bell a bear hug. He didn¡¯t say anything, just patted Evan Bell hard on the back. , all the words of thanks are too pale, and their friendship does not need to continue with false politeness, a hug is enough.
Looking at the two people hugging each other tightly on the stage, applause rang out again. This cooperation and this friendship can be called the most important significance of tonight's Best Director Award, even more than the so-called three-legged competition. The outcome is even more important, because that's ultimately what makes "Inception" so great.
