"Comedy icon Eddie Murphy must turn into a serious actor, mastering the troubled heart of his predecessor as a musical genius. Former child star Jackie Earle Haley must find the softer side of a hated pedophile. . The experienced Stanley Tucci must plunge into the psychology of a pedophile serial killer. John Harkes must find a way to play a Boston policeman who is a fierce but family-oriented drug dealer. , he himself was arrested 25 times by this kind of police when he was young."
As Weisz read out the nomination list, there were bursts of applause in the Kodak Theater. The live images displayed on each screen were film clips of each nominee. Mr. Harvey smiled in the cornfield and tricked Susie: "You are the Shamon family." "My eldest daughter, right?" Uncle Tears confronted Thumper Milton at the farmhouse: "If she does something wrong, you'll blame it on me." Liz and Jennifer both appeared in the video.
"They call this kind of role a supporting role." The camera returned to the stage, and the five nominees on the big screen had different expressions. Tucci's smile was the most comfortable. Weisz opened the envelope to look at the results and said, "The winner is Eddie Murphy, "Dreamgirls."
The whole audience burst into warm applause. This was not an upset, and the four losers laughed without any disappointment. The five first-time nominees have no seniority standing in their way. After the Golden Globe and Screen Actors Guild Awards, Eddie Murphy, the biggest favorite, won the Oscar.
But many double-hearted fans were disappointed. Although they wanted to kill Mr. Harvey with their own hands, it just showed that Tucci acted well and still shed tears.
Ye Wei had returned to the guest seat. The atmosphere of the people around him was so-so. Of course he would not be happy. He whispered to Lily: "It's not bad for a comedian to be recognized for acting in a drama." Lily said softly: "I don't even like them. You care too much." He smiled and looked at her, "What do you care about?" She squeezed his hand.
Jennifer looked at the two of them, I can hear it, my hearing is so good, I can¡¯t stand it.
After Eddie Murphy received the award, it was time for the Ellen Show again. Allen took a document and walked in the aisle between the middle seat and the right seat in front of the main hall. He joked about Wahlberg, walked to the front row and interviewed Martin Scorsese. After a few words of praise, he It turned out to be to promote her script, about a family of two brothers and an aunt called "Good Mother". The guests laughed loudly, not only because of Allen's behavior, but also because of Martin Sr.'s classic "Goodfellas". Moreover, he is a gangster film professional and does not make warm family films. Old Martin smiled and took the script and promised to read it during the ceremony.
Allen then introduced the Pallas Dance Company and its director to the stage. They will perform shadow dance tonight to interpret the nominated films of this year. Soon they performed a group of penguins from "Happy Feet" behind the curtain. After Leonardo introduced "The Departed" personally, the nominated song "our-town" from "Cars" and the nominated song "i-need-to-wake-up" from "An Inconvenient Truth" were performed by the finalists.
The applause continued. Leonardo and former Vice President Al Gore came on the stage. They tried to have fun with the former Vice President tonight. As soon as Leonardo appeared on the stage, he said: "Mr. Gore, so many people are here tonight." There are even more people here than in your hometown. Is there anything you want to announce?" The guests laughed and shouted. Gore's defeat to George W. Bush in his hometown of Tennessee was the main reason for his defeat. Gore said helplessly: "I'm just here for the movie, Leon. I'm here tonight to thank all the elites in the film industry."
The two then gave a special report on the college's environmental protection plan, and then Leonardo asked Gore with a smile: "Now, are you sure that these efforts you have made before will not make you want to announce it to the world tonight?" Another big thing?" Gore sighed: "Well, I really appreciate it, Leon, I'm surprised by the enthusiasm, I think everyone is sincere. To be honest, I was not prepared to do this. With more than a billion viewers watching, this should be an opportunity." He took out a speech from his jacket, "So, dear American people, I want to take this opportunity now to officially announce that I will"
At this moment, the ceremony music sounded thunderous, and there was roaring laughter from the audience. Gore, who was expelled, shrank his shoulders in shock. The audience applauded, and the camera showed Streep and Otto laughing. Laughing, Gore's acting skills in self-destruction are really high.
Gore and Gore returned to the backstage with a smile.
After the commercial break, host Ellen talked about "recycling" jokes, but they were not very funny. The biggest reaction from the guests was that she said "anyway" in a boring way.
She led out Cameron Diaz to present the Best Animated Feature Film award, and Diaz presented the upset winner, beating "Happy Feet" from "Cars." The happy penguin, the depressed car and the three children from "Monster House" all appeared in the live video as animated special effects.
This is the first time George Miller has won the award after being nominated four times. Unpopular, he was seated in the middle of the back row. At this time, he happily and hard squeezed his way to the aisle to go on stage.Receive the award. The applause was loud, and as a big fan of the "Mad Max" series, Ye Wei stood up and applauded excitedly, and several girls also stood up.
After George Miller gave a happy speech, Ben Affleck, who won the Best Original Screenplay Award, appeared to "pay tribute to the screenwriter." He preached behind the glass podium: "Some people say, 'Write what you know.' The screenwriter knows best. A journey that begins with a blank page, Oscar-nominated director and screenwriter Nancy Meyers cuts a soulful clip about how writers have been portrayed in movies over the past 70 years, a timeless thing about the creative process. "
This short film was played on the big screen. Some people wrote with typewriters, some with pens, and some with computers. "I am a writer, I don't like to meddle in other people's business.", "I am a screenwriter, I write plays that are not staged. .", "I'm an artist!"
The Coen brothers' "Barton Fink" is indispensable. At the dance at the USO Club, Patton pointed at his head and yelled at people crazily: "This is my uniform. This is where I serve ordinary people. Here" A man in a sailor uniform came over and pressed his shoulder. As soon as he turned around, he was punched in the face.
"Hahaha!" The laughter in the theater was sporadic. Almost all the guests stopped smiling, but Ye Wei laughed unscrupulously, not afraid of offending the screenwriters. Jennifer was so amused by him that she couldn't help laughing, "I like it here too." Ye Wei said excitedly: "The Coen brothers are geniuses!" Lily looked at the two of them and reached out to high-five them, hey I'm here
Ye Wei not only laughed at the funnyness of this paragraph, it was actually very ironic and very sad.
After experiencing the oppression of reality, the struggle of the soul, and the suffering of loneliness, Barton finally completed the script! The next day he arrived at the USO dance in an excited mood, but was first asked to dance with his partner. His refusal caused a conflict, and others surrounded him. He argued excitedly, but was knocked down with a punch.
Barton, who believed that "pain is the source of creation", sacrificed everything in order to write "artistic and good works that belong to the public". The public not only did not appreciate him, but also despised him and beat him because everyone has his own head, and the brain serves. No one is really surprised, and it also implies that what Patton completed is no longer the work he pursued. He has changed, but it is not Hollywood that changes people, but people's desires, ambitions, and needs. "Hollywood" exists in every industry, no one It can be avoided. It allows the down-and-out idealists to see what kind of life the glamorous realists live and the beauties they have, and then raises the question, do the public really need art? Given the choice again, do you really want ideals rather than wealth? Even if wealth is mostly mean and vulgar?
Barton, who was in the midst of the satisfaction, excitement and self-admiration after the completion of his creation, received this punch. He understood that his ideal would never be realized, and his loneliness would be forever. He had changed, and he had made a choice, but His best work was scolded by his boss as worthless, and the public would not like that pile of rubbish at all. He was also trapped in a contract with the studio, he could write something, it would belong to the studio, and the studio would never produce it. This is the ending of the film for Patton, and this is exactly the creation itself, painful.
"For the first time in my life, I can't write anything. The inspiration doesn't come to me."
"I haven't written a word yet."
¡°It¡¯s like my quill broke.¡±
¡°I didn¡¯t write 46 pages, I wrote the same page 46 times.¡±
Writers are suffering from the pain of Kavin. Some are staring at the white paper in a daze, while others are restless.
¡°It must be great to be a writer?¡±
"Hehehehereally?"
Some people threw shoes, some repeatedly typed the same sentence "all-work-and-no-play-makes-jack-a-dull-boy (all work and no play makes smart children stupid)", and some people kneaded paper balls , someone threw the entire typewriter out of the window.
Writers also suffer from the pain of revising their manuscripts. Bosses, editors, friends, family, and everyone who has read the manuscript come to criticize them.
¡°I don¡¯t like the title and some of the characters.¡±
¡°So you¡¯ve read it?¡±
¡°I haven¡¯t read it yet, but I will.¡±
¡°Isn¡¯t there anything in the first draft that you think could have stayed?¡±
¡°The stage directions are very clear, the best I have ever seen, and the colors of the folders are great.¡±
¡°Fink, you¡¯re not a writer at all!¡±
Bang! There was a gunshot. Writers drown their sorrows in drinking, smoking, and wiping away cold sweats
¡°I¡¯ve got an idea, I¡¯ve got an idea, the first good idea in four months!¡±
"Boys need girls, boys lose girls, boys get girls. Girls need boys, girls lose boys, girls get boys again. Put your money on love, love will never go out of style!"
"I like that idea! "
The writers were suddenly enlightened and had a flood of ideas. They howled with excitement and giggled with pleasure in front of the typewriter. They wrote page after page, typing and writing the-end one after another.
¡°It¡¯s done, it¡¯s over!¡± Melvin Uday (Jack Nicholson), the romance novelist in ¡°As Good As It Gets¡± said happily.
The short film ended like this. Amid the roaring applause of the guests, the live video returned to the theater and was aimed at Nicholson. He was holding a pen and writing something on the label in his palm. After a few seconds, the narrator said: "We would like to invite three-time nominee Helen Mirren and two-time winner Tom Hanks to present us with the Best Adapted Screenplay award."
As the two guests walked out of the aisle, there was constant applause and whistles.
At this time, all the Weimi people in the TV audience were in high spirits and called on their friends to watch the ABC channel! Here comes the exciting part again. As we all know, Hanks is Ye Wei's favorite. Ninety-nine percent of the time, double nominee Ye Wei wins the award. The Academy's arrangement for Hanks to present the award is really unique.
"If you have ever read a book and thought that this story could be made into a good movie, then you have taken the first step towards being nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay." Mirren on the left shows her queenly style, and on the right Hanks took over: "There are other thousand, two hundred steps, but first" His clumsy way of pretending to be lyrical and the nine-step success rule of "Little Miss Sunshine" caused a burst of laughter, "Admit you I can¡¯t resist pretty girls and make my life a mess.¡± This teasing to Ye Wei made the laughter even louder, with a girl shouting!
"The second step" Hanks wanted to say, but Mirren quickly stopped him: "Tom, Tom."
"Oops, I said the wrong thing." Hanks' face paralyzed, "Okay, let's jump directly to the last step, when your name appears on the nomination list. There will also be a short excerpt from your script. Excerpts from this year¡¯s Best Adapted Screenplay.¡±
The big screen cut to the nominations, Mirren read first: "Sacha Baron Cohen, Anthony Haynes, Peter Barnham, Dan Mazer, Todd Phillips, "Pola" Special: Learning American Culture to Build the Great Motherland of Kazakhstan, adapted from Sacha Baron Cohen's original series character. "A small round of applause, a clip from the film played, and Mirren introduced: "Borat. Go to the center of the bullring and say to the audience. "I am Borat from Kazakhstan, and the first thing I want to say is that we support your war on terror." The audience in the bullring applauded and cheered. There was applause in the theater, too.
Hanks read: "William Monaghan, "The Departed", adapted from the movie "The Departed". Two priests and a nun were sitting two tables away, one was an old priest and the other was a young man. Stroro noticed this, and the nun stood up and left. "Castro said to Billy in the image: "If your father is still alive and sees you sitting here with me, even if he wants to. He could kill seven people before slitting my throat." The guests applauded even louder.
Mirren read again: "Michael Arndt, Ye Wei, "The Lovely Bones", adapted from the novel by Alice Sebold. Susie was late for school that day, and she slipped in through the back door of the school and met her The boy I have a crush on." In the image, Lei was sitting on the stage support. "Hi." Susie looked up a little crazy and asked with a smile, "Didn't you hear the bell for the first class? What are you doing up there? ? "This is an advertisement, ready to win awards. Paramount did not arrange sad scenes to attract viewers who have not seen it to go to the theater or buy the video.
A burst of high-decibel applause, shouts and whistles broke out! In addition to Ye Wei's camp, there is also an extended relationship with producer Spielberg, and TLB, which is difficult to adapt, is one of the two favorites for this award throughout the award season. The other one is Winter Bone, which won the award. least controversial.
Next to her, Mr. and Mrs. Sebold, who were also invited to attend, were exhaling. Liz could feel the nervous anticipation of everyone on the crew, so why not she! They all made fun of Ye Wei during the award speech, so it was him, right? I asked him at the Independent Spirit Awards yesterday if he had actually prepared a speech to accept the award. He said no: "I'll prepare it while I'm walking to the stage."
Hanks read again: "Patrick Marble, "Scandal Chronicle," adapted from the novel by Zo? Heller." Barbara began to gently brush her fingertips over Sheba's forearm, flicking it back and forth, hoping that Barb felt a sense of shame in the silence. Barb continued to caress Sheba's face, breasts under the tights, and her arms. Barb said, "Barbara said softly in the video." What a good girl." Xiba suddenly pushed her hand away: "I think that's enough." Barbara said again, "Close your eyes." Xiba said anxiously, "I really think that's enough. That's enough, Barbara." The guests applauded loudly.
Mirren finally read: "Ye Wei, "Winter's Bone", adapted from Daniel Woodrell's novel. Rui was killed by a gang of drug dealers in the farmhouse.??After being beaten by her family members, she was likely to be killed and disposed of, she said. "Rui, who was beaten horribly in the image, was lying on his side on the ground, looking down at the ground, "I have two younger brothers, and they can't take care of themselves My mother is sick, and she will never get better. She shed tears of blood, her shoulders trembled, and her weak voice became more trembling: "It won't be long before the police take away our house drive us out we can only sleep in the fields like dogs." "The roaring applause suddenly started again, for Ye Wei's adaptation, for Jennifer's performance, and for this movie.
Guests and audiences who have watched Winter's Bone know that this is only a small part of this scene, and it is not the most shocking. People who have not watched Winter's Bone have been shocked. No wonder Allen said that at the beginning, Jennifer Lawrence, this is really crazy.
Nina watched with envy, admiration and anticipation. A few months later, she still clearly remembers the next scene with Rui, as if it was engraved in her aching heart. She supports Winter Bone to win the award!
"The one who won the Oscar is" The scene returned to the stage. Hanks opened the envelope, took out the result paper, and looked down.
There are too many nominees and there is no five-frame split screen. The audience cannot see Ye Wei¡¯s expression at this moment that they really want to see. At this moment, whether it¡¯s Herman Wright or Harvey Weinstein, whether it¡¯s Tucci, Reeves or Hax, Weisz, Sarandon will Double Bones win, the youngest Oscar? Will the best screenwriter be born?
"Brother, brother!" Duoduo shouted in front of the TV screen at the party. The surrounding family members and friends took a deep breath and screamed with joy. Lev and the others held the fireworks tubes and wanted to release them.
The air in the theater seemed to be frozen, Lily raised her thick eyebrows and opened her eyes wide, Jennifer, Alicia, everyone¡¯s hearts were in their throats.
Ye Wei couldn't help but clasp his fingers, but he didn't want to hold Lily's hand to show his expectation. If any of the nominees here says that he doesn¡¯t want to win the award, he must be lying. He would even think about it if he had even the slightest hope, not to mention the fact that almost the whole world has already said and said "This award is yours". He wants to go on stage to thank many people. , want to win this honor
Hanks looked at the piece of paper with the attention of all the audience, and announced the result without changing his expression:
¡°William Monaghan, The Departed.¡±
After the words fell, Hanks pursed his mouth tightly, so that his chin was full of wrinkles, and he was a little unhappy. Before he finished speaking, the theater was filled with applause and cheers, but this roar was not very consistent. There were shouts of surprise and excited shouts like boos!
"What the hell!!" Gia felt like she was exploding. Others were afraid of offending Scorsese's gang, but she was not afraid. She couldn't swallow this breath: "Shhh!!!"
"I can't believe it" Emma didn't have a good attitude either. William Monahan stole the statuette! That's unique!
The whole audience was either surprised or surprised. The media people in the backstage press room rushed to report, and the secretaries in front of the TV were very disappointed and angry.
Ye Wei, a double nominee, did not win! The only double-nominated screenwriter loser in history. In recent years, double nominees in all awards have won, but he did not. It was a huge upset. Everything was set up for his coronation tonight, and in the end it was not him who was the king. This result even exceeded the college¡¯s expectations.
In the live video, William Monahan, who was sitting in the back of the middle seat, was ecstatic, his fat face flushed, and on his way to the stage, he hugged and celebrated with each member of "The Departed". Some of the guests around were applauding, while others were covering their mouths with their palms and whispering. The camera was now looking at Ye Wei in a close-up view. This was truly an unkind treatment that other people behind the scenes did not get. He was clapping his hands, looking directly at the camera with awareness, slightly raising the corner of his mouth and saying "I understand what to do." It¡¯s over¡± expression.
Seeing her brother forcing a smile like this, Duoduo shed tears, and everyone quickly comforted her. Double nominations are already amazing! Put out fireworks! Although they are also depressed.
"Man" Jennifer didn't know what to say, her mind was empty, "This sucks." Alicia leaned back in her chair and sighed. Lily's face was sullen, and she kept shaking her head a little madly: "No, no no" Ye Wei held her hand and joked comfortingly: "Should I go up and fight with him?"
At the same time, Monahan took the stage and took the statuette from Mirren, took out a prepared speech and began to speak. He was so excited that it was difficult to speak, so he had to speak slowly:
"Thank you to the Academy, thank you to Warner Bros., everyone at Warner Bros., the screenwriters of "Infernal Affairs", Mak Siu-fai, Zhuang Wenqiang, the producers and agents present and absent, and all those who made "The Departed" a success. .Thanks to Matt and Leon who called each other 'let's do it' after reading the script, thank you to Martin"
"Thank you Ye Wei, thank you Ye Wei, thank you Ye Wei" Liz silently voiced Monahan.
Nina got up and left the table to go to the bathroom. She knew that she was nothing. She was nothing on the second floor.No one would notice, just a tiny dot in the background, but she was going to protest.
When Monaghan finished thanking him, he and the two guests who had already accepted the results walked backstage laughing. Everything in the camera:
"I'm Chris Connery backstage. All the elite filmmakers participating in the event tonight will definitely not treat this celebration as just a horse race."
Connery held the microphone in his right hand and said while walking in the bustling backstage aisle. Emily Blunt and Anne Heatherway, who were standing by the TV watching the ceremony and waiting to appear, noticed the camera one after another. Blunt glanced at Connery and turned back, while Heatherway quickly smiled sweetly. He leaned forward and waved his hands to steal the spotlight.
"So we came to do this, with the help of the latest technology, see." The camera shot towards a horse racing plank raised by Connery's left hand. Films such as "Babel" and "Bones" have not yet been released. Some of the horse heads ran away. Connery said with a smile: "Nine awards have been awarded so far. The film part is divided between "The Departed", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Dreamgirls". In addition, among the 9 awards are 3 big upsets: Best Animated Short Film, Best Animated Feature Film.¡±
He paused and then said solemnly: "There is also the best adapted screenplay. The next step will still be exciting, the costume designers will fight fiercely!"
At this time, Connery walked to the trophy room, and the three Hanks who came back from the stage were going to the aisle. He interviewed Hanks and asked: "The best is yet to come, right?"
"You're right, Chris, it will be even more exciting!" Hanks replied with a smile, Mirren also smiled, and Monahan still didn't recover.
"So, don't go away." Connery said with a smile. The camera pans along the trophy rack, connecting to commercial breaks over soft music.
