"The one who won the Oscar is." Arkin looked at the result paper in his hand, "Jennifer Hudson, "Dreamgirls."
In an instant, the Kodak Theater was boiling with shouts and cheers, but it was not an upset.
On the big screen, Blanchett suddenly turned her head and clapped, her pursed smile unchanged at all. She had only won this award two years ago; Rinko Kikuchi grinned again, oh, that's it; Saoirse and Alicia smiled and clapped; while Hudson opened his mouth wide in surprise, as if he couldn't believe this fact.
The female voice narration said: "Jennifer Hudson's road to winning the award began in a small church in Chicago, where she sang soul songs as a soloist in a gospel choir."
As Hudson stood up, hugged everyone, and walked to the stage to receive the award, the camera paid attention to the unsuccessful people. Alicia's mother said some words of comfort to her.
Outside the camera, Ye Wei clapped his hands and encouraged Alice: "Believe me, you are the bestI mean your performance! When you are the best, there is no distinction between high and low." Although he said It sounded so good that Alicia, Jennifer and Lily couldn't be happy, but everyone still ran with them.
No upset! There must be an African-American actor tonight as the big winner, three of the four acting awards? This is the most diverse Oscars in history.
But the Weimi audience is getting more and more disappointed, it¡¯s so unreasonable. PR people want Vikander to win an award too! Even Academy President Sid Ganis is upset. The less a viy movie can win an award, the more likely it is that it will win that award. Scorsese joked with his wife Helen: "It looks like it's happening again."
Graham King, who is right next to him, really can¡¯t laugh. Harvey, don¡¯t be so smart
Do you want "Winter's Bone" to win Best Picture? Does it deserve it? Even Dan Lin, the Warner producer of "The Departed" and a senior executive of Warner's production department, would not think that Ye Wei should be on the podium for the film tonight. That kid is only 18 or 19 years old!
In the guest seats on the second floor, Gia, who was going to the bathroom, saw Harvey Weinstein¡¯s obscene, fat face with a smile on his face. Maybe the situation is not that bad?
¡°What¡¯s next is great performances from Jerry Seinfeld and Celine Dion. It¡¯s unbelievable that Jennifer Hudson has become a real ¡®Dreamgirl.¡¯ This is the Oscar.¡±
After Hudson excitedly accepted the award, the male voice narration transitioned to the commercial. After the commercial came back, there was an introduction to "Tower of Babel", and then Eva Green and Gael Garcia Bernal came on stage to present the Best Documentary Short Film, directed by Chinese-American female filmmaker Yang Ziye and produced by Thomas Lane. "Children of Yingzhou" won the award.
In recent years, Yang Ziye has actively promoted AIDS prevention and publicity in mainland China and produced a series of public service announcements, short films and programs. Among them, "Children of Yingzhou" focuses on AIDS families and infected children in impoverished mountainous areas of Anhui. The filming lasted more than a year and received support and assistance from the Chinese Ministry of Health and other departments and associations. After the filming, it won many awards and aroused the awareness of Chinese society and society. world attention on the issue.
This is Yang Ziye¡¯s first nomination and win, while Thomas Lane¡¯s first win is his second nomination.
Amid applause from the audience, they received the statuette. Lane said: "Thank you everyone. Shooting a documentary is really a treacherous job. Although my heart is in a remote town in Anhui, China, I also want to come here, Beverly Hills. My emotions are very complicated." After thanking him, , Yang Ziye said in Chinese: "Thank you to all the anti-AIDS heroes and friends who support us, thank you."
The guests applauded like thunder, but such a heavy topic inevitably affected the glitzy atmosphere, so Jerry Seinfeld appeared. When he saw him, the theater suddenly became lively again.
¡°A few years ago, I was the subject of a documentary called Comedians Who Don¡¯t Win Awards and Make Little Money. But it was so good that I was invited here tonight to present the award for Best Documentary Feature. I love documentaries and I think they have a very real quality to them. I know everyone who was nominated was excited because when you were nominated, you were told that we thought you might be the best. Just maybe. When you dress up together and show up on TV, we can figure out who it is because everyone has to see the look on your face knowing that maybe you're not the best."
Jerry Seinfeld¡¯s talk show caused bursts of laughter in the audience. The camera captured the smiling faces of celebrities, including Nicholson, Lucas, Spielberg
At the same time, many public relations officials breathed a sigh of relief. Yang Ziye's award will undoubtedly lower Ye Wei's market. Asian filmmakers have won awards, and the Oscars have also paid attention to the ecological conditions of the world's impoverished and backward mountainous areas. It makes sense for Ye Wei to win zero awards. The Weinstein brothers failed to deal with this obstacle.
"This movie didn't get a nomination tonight, but these five extremely sad movies did."
NameAmong them was Lionsgate's "Emergency", but this documentary about the notorious pedophile crimes of American Catholic priest Oliver O'Grady did not become an upset. "An Inconvenient Truth" which focused on global climate issues won. . Director Davis Guggenheim, former Vice President Al Gore and other crew members took the stage together, and the guests stood up and applauded to pay tribute to this environmental documentary and these people.
Immediately after the soundtrack of "Red Dead Redemption", the old cowboy Eastwood appeared to present this year's honorary award, which belonged to the 78-year-old Italian soundtrack master Ennio Morricone, "Days of Paradise", "Paradise" Cinema" and countless other classic film scores were composed by his hands.
A highlight of the ceremony made the audience extremely quiet again. Celine Dion appeared and sang i-knew-i-loved-seduction composed by Morricone, which made the listeners mesmerized. After Morricone took the stage to accept the award and thanked him, Penelope Cruz and Hugh Jackman immediately announced the best original score, Gustavo Santalara, "Tower of Babel"!
"Babel", which was proud of its 6 nominations, finally won an award, but the Girls Trilogy continued to force a smile, and both SS and TLB failed.
Allen¡¯s appearance was lively and led to a one-minute short video that Academy Chairman Sid Ganis had already recorded introducing the Academy¡¯s many tasks besides Oscars. His speaking speed was greatly sped up. After the short video ended, the camera cut to Gannis who was at the guest table. He stood up and accepted the applause of the audience.
Tobey Maguire and Kirsten Dunst came on stage to present the award. There were cheers. Maguire stood still and said: "The war in reality inspired a little girl's fantasy; a drug-addicted teacher and The friendship of a student whose family was harmed by drugs; a time-changing meditation on the recent global village." Dunst continued: "There are also two real-life tragic events. These stories are the original scripts we are honoring tonight. . Below are some script fragments and the screenwriter¡¯s original presentation.¡±
"Tower of Babel", "Letter from Iwo Jima", "Half Nelson", "Pan's Labyrinth", "The Queen"
After the nomination list was read out, in a tense atmosphere, Kirsten opened the envelope, took out a piece of paper, looked at it and announced with a smile: "Anna Burton, Ryan Fleck, "Half Nelson."
An exclamation of exclamation preceded the loud applause, and another big shock! ! !
It¡¯s not ¡°Tower of Babel,¡± which won the Writers Guild Award, or other movies that are more popular, but this is the coldest independent film with a production cost of only 700,000.
The theater was once again boiling with complexity. The camera cut away from the guest seats. The 30-year-old Frecks were ecstatic. They jumped up and embraced each other, as if they had won the world! Everyone around them laughed and clapped their hands. Gosling, who was in the front row, was also beaming with joy. He opened his arms and hugged the two new best screenwriters who came quickly.
"Hahaha!" Ye Wei over there clapped his hands and laughed excitedly. Lily and others were also a little happy. This is the group's gain!
Make a lot of money! Ye Wei, who bought "Half Nelson" for 1.5 million from Sundance last year, made a lot of money. This thought flashed through the minds of many people. At first, everyone said that he was a kid who took advantage of him and spent money frivolously, but now he is getting nothing for nothing. Why question a genius?
A group of public relations personnel laughed one after another. IFC and Paramon, Wright laughed and was surprised.
Watching the two men take over the golden trophy from Maguire on the big screen, Harvey Weinstein's face darkened.
Burton on the left said first: "Oh thank you, my God, it's so unexpected. We didn't prepare a speech to accept the award." The guests chuckled, and Flake sighed and said: "Thank you Erin, Rozan , Craig, James, Alex, they were the ones who first thought this script could be made into a movie, thank you Ryan, not me.¡±
The whole audience laughed, and the camera captured Ryan Gosling's smiling face. Fleck continued: "We couldn't have made it without him. His great performance made this story shine, and Sharika , Anthony God, there are so many people to thank." He looked at his wife, and Bolton said quickly: "I especially want to thank Wei Ge for his appreciation and selflessness when no one was willing to release it for us. Support it and let it meet everyone." The camera cuts to Ye Wei's sunny smile, appearing on camera for the first time tonight because of being thanked.
The music of the ceremony was blaring, and Frick said quickly: "Thank you ifc, thank you to the college, and our families, everyone who supports us, and Anna, thank you!" Bolton looked at him with a smile, and he and the two The guests walked backstage together.
Everyone gave this sweet couple a warm round of applause!
After the Pallas Dance Company's shadow dance performance "The Devil Wears Prada", the image came to the crowded backstage passage, where the two winners were already being interviewed.
??And Chris Connelly, who was in the live broadcast, was holding a microphone and a result sheet.They walked by and reported as they walked: "After the 18 awards were awarded, are the winners you predicted last week on the list? Maybe many of them will surprise you." He waved the results paper in his left hand and smiled. A little frown: "But the big upsets like Best Costume Design and Best Foreign Language Film show that these projects are not ordinary. By the way, "Pan's Labyrinth" has already won two Oscars."
In fact, it was three seats. Connery didn't realize the slip of the tongue and continued walking: "Ye Wei's movies haven't gained anything yet. They still have a chance, like Best Original Song, but since "Dreamgirls" has double nominations Being shortlisted, the result shouldn't be too bad." He walked into the award display room, stopped, and smiled as if it was a big deal: "After the best adapted screenplay, who can say for sure? The script was won by "Half Nelson", maybe this is just the beginning of the upset? "
He smiled and said: "Stop turning the channel, please continue to watch, there is a lot of exciting content. The 79th Academy Awards will continue. Who will these babies go home with?" The camera followed his gaze and moved closer to the display rack. There are only a few scattered statues of golden figures on the floor.
¡°There are really many Weimi viewers who turned the channel in frustration and anger. What¡¯s left? Both the heroine and the director are definitely out of luck. Ye Wei had great glory when he came, but now he has become a loser who was broadcast live. He was nominated the most but came up empty-handed, which means he lost the most.
Back from commercial, Jennifer Lopez took the stage to lead the ensuing performance, with Beyonc¨¦, award-winning Hudson, Anika Noni Rose and Keith Robinson singing a rendition of "Dreamgirls"-nominated song . Their high-pitched singing ignited the audience, but the best original song was really a surprise! ! !
"Dreamgirls" paid the price for best supporting actor and actress and best sound effects. John Travolta and Queen Latifah handed the statuettes to the winner Marissa Elsoridge. The i-need-to-wake-up songwriter of "An Inconvenient Truth."
Elsoridge and Allen are really similar, with short blond hair, neutral suits, and homosexuality. She began by thanking her wife, Tammy, and her four children.
There are also gay winners tonight, and Allen¡¯s joke at the beginning, ¡°If there were no blacks, Jews and gays, there would be no Oscars.¡± is even more intriguing. This year's Oscars are also very female. The producers and hosts are female, and the Humanitarian Awards are given to women. There are more female nominees and more female films than in previous years
But at this stage, the Girls Trilogy¡¯s 13 nominations have been reduced to 3 award nominations.
Went to see the commercials and came back with the introduction of "Winter's Bone". Rui was working on the filming set of the video clipping of the film "Chopping Firewood". In the desolate mountain forest, Ye Wei was beside the camera and said something with coordinated gestures to a group of crew members. Jennifer said in a calm voice: "This film tells the story of a girl who has to find her father for the sake of her family. She has to deal with criminals. Director Ye Wei said to us, 'You are not making a movie, you are making a documentary.' It The style is just like that, not flashy at all, very cold, and it can inspire you to think a lot. When preparing for the film, Ye Wei said, "If you think you can't bear the pain, get out of here now." We can bear it, and we shoot with pain. This movie came out." The clip ends with Rui and Gale driving pigs together in the mountains late at night, and the title appears: winter's-bone.
A burst of crazy applause brought the camera back to the Kodak Theater. The camera focused on Ye Wei, Jennifer and other guests. The three young finalists all looked calm, showing maturity beyond their years, as if they were saying, "Yes, it's us." You did it." And Lily and the two mothers were clapping and laughing.
Next, Will Smith appeared to introduce the montage edited by Michael Mann, "American Politics in American Films." After the montage, Kate Winslet appeared to present the best editing award to Thelma Schoonmaker, "The Departed." ! The 66-year-old legendary female editor, Scorsese's partner since college, won the award for the third time (3/6).
"Thank you. This is the third time you have awarded an award to a movie directed by Martin Scorsese. Please believe that if it were not for his work, I would not be standing here. You can understand what a great movie this is, excellent. Great director, great script, great actors.¡±
Schoonmaker calmly thanked him, and the camera cut away, and the guests and audience saw Scorsese smiling and unable to hold back tears of emotion. They have been along the way. She had already won the Oscar for "Raging Bull" (1980), but he never had it, and tonight he is almost certain to win it. Finally, he won the award in the same year. This is really a legend.
It¡¯s just two awards for ¡°The Departed¡±, three if you include the director award, and young people are still eyeing it
"Thank you to the college. I'm very honored. Thank you very much." Schoonmaker left the stage amidst applause.
Jodie Foster came on stage to host a tribute to the Oscar-winning/nominated filmmakers who passed away in the past year. After paying tribute to the short film, the theater turned off the lights.Only the stars in the sky that represent them shine. When the lights at the venue came back on and the atmosphere was still heavy with mourning, Allen came out to make jokes at the right time.
"Okay." She clasped her hands and said with a smile, "That's what the show is all about, and I'm proud to say that I ended it on time." The audience burst into laughter, and she looked at her watch: "It seems it ended early I'm sorry. , Wait" She turned her head and listened carefully to the earbuds, "Oh, yes, I know My fault, okay, okay, don't yell at me, okay." She sighed and looked at it. Ahead, "Someone told me there are still a few awards yet to be awarded, so"
She looked very reluctant and didn¡¯t take those awards seriously: it¡¯s been so long since they were awarded, and yet there are still some!
The guests laughed again, there were only four awards left, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.
From now on is the most important part of this award ceremony, which is gradually becoming like a hellish journey. It is the most anticipated part of the global media audience! The ratings are peaking now, and countless viewers have switched to the ABC channel. Although there is no suspense in the first three items, unless there is a shocking upset, everything is still possible now.
Allen introduces last year¡¯s Best Actor Philip Seymour Hoffman. Who will be crowned Best Actress this year?
