- Amid the warm welcome from the audience, Hoffman walked slowly to the glass podium with an envelope and said with a smile: "Hi, uh five heroines, five talented actresses. The following are the best actresses. Shortlist." As he was introduced, film clips and reactions from the nominees were shown.
First, there was Penelope Cruz from "The Return". The applause was generally loud, and there were smaller shouts from relatives and friends. Cruz did not look at the camera, and his smile was a little nervous.
"Jennifer Lawrence, "Winter's Bone."" Hoffman read again. The big screen showed the porch of Dolly's house. Rui said to Officer Baskin: "I will find him." The officer hesitated: "Girl, I have been looking for it, and" Rui looked at him, her face Determined and tough, "I said, I will find him."
Fanatic applause and whistles erupted at the incredible performance of the 16-year-old girl! In the camera, Jennifer laughs and smiles, while her mother smiles proudly.
But there are more than one or two young actresses who are worried about this. No one who is not a friend wants Lawrence to win the award. The pretty 16-year-old actress is definitely a disaster for her peers.
Jennifer knows this. She even thinks that except for Alice, the other future girls will have complicated emotions. Who cares about them, just have hope as he said, it¡¯s me! ! !
Hoffman continued to read, and Helen Mirren, the most popular "Queen", received general applause. Instead of cheering, there were some boos. Mirren pursed her lips, and her husband, one-time Best Director nominee Taylor Hackford, put his arm around her shoulders protectively, and she chuckled. This was not directed at her, it was just that there were Americans present who were unhappy with the Queen of England.
Meryl Streep of "The Devil Wears Prada" is leaning on her husband Den Ganmer. She sits upright and smiles as soon as the camera is on. She opens her hands to say hello to the camera. The whole audience was already excited again to pay tribute to this legendary actress. When it came to Kate Winslet, the clip of "Motherhood" that was aired was a kiss scene between her and Patrick Wilson. When the camera returned to the theater, she was grinning, and her husband Sam Mendes was laughing next to her. He raised his hands and clapped. The best director didn't seem to care. The applause was general and there was no shouting.
The five actresses in the split screen had different expressions. Cruz was already smiling the most happily, Jennifer was still smiling lightly, Streep smiled and raised her eyebrows, Winslet smiled, and Mirren lowered his head and closed his eyes, obviously showing off. pray.
At this moment, it¡¯s not just them who are nervous, but also the audience in front of the TV, those backstage, in the aisles, at the party
"The Oscar winner is" Hoffman's voice was very calm, "Helen Mirren, "The Queen."
The moment Helen was read out, the audience burst into applause, but there were no boos. Streep burst out laughing. Cruz and Winslet both stood up and applauded. Jennifer applauded and looked to the right with a smile. It was time to talk to Ye Wei. Mirren, on the other hand, was not too excited. She stood up gracefully and waved to her husband. Hackford stood up and came over. She hugged him and kissed him before walking towards the stage with a smile.
The male voice narration said: "Helen Mirren's road to the Oscar is very difficult. An Indian palmist once told her that she would not be able to reach the peak of her career until she is almost 50 years old."
Mirren was 49 years old when she was nominated for her first Oscar (Best Supporting Actress, "The Madness of King George", 1994). She is 61 years old this year.
The old woman winning the award made the nervous young actresses relax, and those who felt sorry for Jennifer would not have a big reaction, because this was a cash-in rather than an upset.
"Brother." Jennifer clapped her hands and shouted to Ye Wei, "I just want to say thank you, and I can only say it here. I rarely talk like this, but" She suddenly choked up, "I won't be until I'm 60. You are the first person I want to thank for receiving the award, do you understand?" Alicia said the same thing with her eyes.
Ye Wei didn¡¯t look at them, looking at Mirren on the stage taking the award from Hoffman, don¡¯t hurt me, my queen is right next to her
¡°He also wants to thank you for your performance.¡± Lily nodded to Jennifer.
When the theater fell silent, Mirren spoke gently. After thanking the Academy, her fellow nominees, the cast and crew, etc., she added: "You know that in the past fifty years, Elizabeth - Windsor has always maintained her dignity, her sense of responsibility and her hairstyle." There was unexpected laughter. After Mirren continued to thank Elizabeth II, she raised the statuette with her right hand and said, "Thank you, thank you very much!"
Mirren and Hoffman walked backstage amidst applause. The Pallas Dance Company took the stage to perform a pistol representing "The Departed". The live camera then reached the crowded backstage passage. Chris Connery walked and said with a smile: "Everyone is still here to congratulate Helen Mirren. If there are still people who don't want to face the winner of Best Original Song, then you may not be able to get up early tomorrow. Now except "Winter's Bone", all the best picture nominees All have won awards.¡±
"There are many exciting and interesting contents." Connelly walked to the trophy display room again and asked with a smile: "Can Ye Wei win the award tonight? Can Martin Scorsese win? Or Peter O'Toole Who will win the Best Actor? The candidates are ready, the award recipients are ready, and the award winners are ready, are you ready? "The camera shoots. A staff member held up one of the shining golden trophies and gently wiped it with a brush.
How do the viewers who support Ye Wei and Shuanggu feel? All films with 5 or more nominations have gained, except Two Bones! They each also have one nomination.
After the commercial came back, the sound of the vacuum cleaner and the laughter of the guests could be heard. Allen was pushing a vacuum cleaner to clean the front row of the audience. The female guests had to lift their feet, but the evening dress was troublesome. After Ellen made some jokes, she invited last year's best actress Reese Witherspoon.
Wearing a strapless, low-cut black dress, Witherspoon entered the venue to present the award and first introduced the shortlist.
Leonardo DiCaprio in "Blood Diamond" received the same big applause. He smiled and probably knew it wouldn't be him tonight; Ryan Gosling in "Half Nelson" pretended to be shocked by the camera. was surprised, and the applause he received was just as big; Peter O'Toole in "The End of the World" smiled with an old face, and the audience applauded loudly with some cheers; the snickering Will Smith in "The Pursuit of Happiness" was also well received. The audience applauded; the smiling Forest Whitaker in "The Last Man" burst into applause and cheers.
"The one who won the Oscar is." At the moment when the announcement was about to be announced, the five male actors all had expressionless faces. The old man's blue eyes turned a little, revealing the desire in his heart.
The last time he was nominated was 24 years ago for "Days of Our Lives" (1982). Can he still live another 24 years at the age of 74? Perhaps this is Peter O'Toole's last Oscar bid.
However, the result was cruel, and only one person could laugh with joy. Witherspoon announced: "Forest Whitaker, "The Last Man"." The theater went into a boil at the sound, and Otto was stunned for a few moments without responding. He took a breath and then clapped his hands. There was no smile on his wrinkled old face, and he did not hide his disappointment. It was the eighth time to run with him.
Oscar really owes him a statuette, but who cares about a has-been old man?
"Forest Whitaker's road to the Oscar began when he won a scholarship as an opera tenor." The female voice narrated.
Whitaker, the fourth black actor in history, stood up and walked to the stage. He took the award in his hand and said, "Thank you, thank you, wait, wait, take it, okay, okay" He took a deep breath. Come back to your senses. Although this is not an upset, the four acting awards and the Screen Actors Guild Awards all overlap, but African-American actors accounted for three seats, which is of course very surprising!
"I wrote something because I knew that if I won the award, I would be a little excited, and now I am a little excited." Whitaker took out the acceptance speech from his jacket, sighed to calm down, and then read it, thanking the performance and the crew. Colleagues, producers, the people of Uganda, his family, he raised the award with increasing excitement: "And God, God believes in each of us; and those who gave me this unforgettable moment, I hope I can carry this moment to the end of my life and to the next life, thank you!¡±
Amid applause from the audience, Whitaker and Witherspoon walked to the left aisle, and a male voice narrated: "Please welcome the three award presenters! Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, and George Lucas. "Coppola, Lucas, and Olds appeared side by side from the right aisle of the stage, walked to the center microphone, and stood still.
The camera focused on them. Three of the four major Hollywood directors of the 1980s were on stage presenting awards, while the other was waiting to receive the award offstage.
Even if she is Ye Wei's partner, Giya doesn't expect this to be an upset. This is completely without hope, there will be no disappointment, and it won't work no matter who comes.
"The three of us are standing here because we know how great it feels to win the Best Director Award." Coppola on the left leaned towards the microphone and said, 1/4 Best Director, 5/14 Oscars. Old Si on the right agreed: "Yes, that is the greatest honor I have ever received." 2/6 Best Directors, 3/12 Oscars. Lucas in the middle was stunned, and looked at the two of them honestly, "Hey guys, I have never won an Oscar." He was nominated for 2 Best Directors, 4 times in total.
The whole audience burst into laughter, and the two people on the left and right were stunned. Old Si asked: "Then what are you doing here?" The laughter couldn't stop, and Lucas helplessly said: "Uh I don't know, I was nominated. A few times." He shrugged. Coppola intervened: "In any case, the two of us will feel how honored we are to know that one of the five finalists will win the award." Olds nodded and pointed at Coppola and himself. Lucas said anxiously: "Okay, I just want to say that giving feels better than receiving." Amid laughter, Coppola and Olds leaned toward the microphone and said in unison: "No, it's not."
PalmThe sound was heard everywhere, and the three old guys also smiled. Young people are not the only ones who can be funny.
"Here are the nominees for Best Director," Lucas said.
Solemn music sounded in the auditorium, and Coppola read: "Tower of Babel, Alejandro Gonzalez I?¨¢rritu." The camera focused on the smiling I?¨¢rritu. Because "Tower of Babel" is unproductive and boring. The applause that erupted in the theater was like everyone coming to life, and it was louder than any of the nominees for Best Actor and Best Actress just now.
¡°¡®The Departed,¡¯ Martin Scorsese.¡± Lucas announced. The camera had already cut to Scorsese earlier. He was grinning, his old face looking like he was sitting on pins and needles. The enthusiasm of all the guests was instantly ignited again. Wahlberg, who was sitting behind him, clapped his hands fiercely and whistles rang out!
The camera cuts to Eastwood, who is also smiling and applauding, with a leisurely expression. In fact, he has already won the Best Director 2/4 times. Coppola read again: "Letter from Iwo Jima, Clint Eastwood." The audience continued to applaud and cheer a little, but there were no shouts or whistles.
"'The Queen', Steven Frears." The camera cuts to Frears before Lucas's words. His old fat face is smiling, and his two nasolabial folds are wrinkled, and his skewed sitting posture makes him look Listless. He received little applause, and some weak cheers seemed like boos.
The camera panned sharply towards Ye Wei, who was applauding gently, with a leisurely smile on his young face. Lily on the left immediately clapped her hands excitedly!
"The Lovely Bones, Ye Wei." Coppola read again. All the cheers exploded crazily. Loud whistles, almost uniform shouts, and clear girls' screams were tumbling in all directions. Ye Wei's smile became brighter, and like magic, he took out a rose and handed it to the camera. The cheers grew louder.
Who is this given to? Scorsese? audience? female? Future girls?
"Haha wow." Liz couldn't help but chuckle, feeling that this was for her, or Susie.
Give it to me? Emma's heart skipped a beat, why is it a rose? Because her middle name is Ro. Is this my 16th birthday gift?
Nina exhaled nervously. Is it possible that she would be upset? It's a little bit possible right Yunik, no, Weige, may the Force be with you!
"Hoo ho!" So what if 99.9% of the people are running with us? Jennifer yelled like she was in high spirits, we are the best! We are!
The camera returned to the stage, and the audience gradually fell silent. Spielberg, who had not read about the nomination, walked to the center while opening the envelope, and expelled Lucas: "Get in line." Lucas laughed and moved to the right. , the theater burst into laughter. Old Si stood in the middle, opened the envelope and took a look at the results. Coppola and Lucas looked over and were already delighted. Old Si said: "Martin Scorsese!"
In one moment, the most exciting moment tonight so far! The camera cut to the guest seats, and everyone in the audience stood up. Scorsese, who had already won the 1/6 Best Director award, bounced up and was surrounded by everyone laughing and applauding, finally getting a taste of receiving it.
The female voice narration said: "Martin Scorsese's road to the Oscar began in 1956. He discovered his love for movies after entering the seminary."
Scorsese hugged everyone one by one, Leonardo, his wife Helen, Wahlberg, and Graham King. He walked to the stage and took out his speech. The camera was all over, and Nicholson, who was waiting in the aisle on the left side of the stage to present the Best Picture Award, was also very happy. Scorsese walked quickly onto the stage, opened his hands gracefully, and gave Coppola, Lucas, and Laos a big hug one by one before accepting the statuette.
The camera just scanned the four unsuccessful directors. They all stood and applauded with a standard smile, and so did the people around them. Ye Wei's rose disappeared again.
"Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you. Rick, thank you! Thank you!" Scorsese was a little incoherent. He raised the award in his right hand and wanted everyone to sit down. However, the whole audience burst into congratulations. Wahlberg Several people whistled. Scorsese said a series of thank yous before people were willing to be quiet. He looked at the three Laos and Scorsese outside the frame on the right and asked, "Can you check the envelope again?" With laughter, he was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly: "Did I really win the award? I mean, I couldn't control myself when I received this award from the academy, and it was given to me by my old friends! We have been friends for 37 years, I¡¯m so touched, so moved.¡±
No one will rush this old man, he can take as long as he wants. He first thanked Warner executives, the film's producers, screenwriters, Monahan, the director of the original Hong Kong film, Andy Lau, the cinematographer, the soundtrack, his old friend Schoonmaker, the casting director, and all the leading actors. , those who have blessed him over the years, and his family.
"Okay, I'll see you in the morning. Thank you!"
ApplauseAmid the cheers, the camera followed the four great directors toward the left aisle. Coppola and Scorsese held Scorsese's arms, while Lucas stayed behind and looked at them. As soon as they entered the aisle, Scorsese and Nicholson hugged and laughed, and the camera cut to introduce "The Queen," the last film nominated for Best Picture.
Soon, Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson appeared to present the last award of the night, the biggest winner of the entire awards season: Best Picture
By now, the surging undercurrent has become a huge storm, and all the executives and public relations of each company are involved in it! There are no hits this year, and Ye Wei's film still has zero awards. The Weinstein brothers are taking a big shot at success or nothing.
Every movie and every team will have a good public relations strategy on paper, but this is an uncontrolled game and no one will win every year.
¡°Diane, please tell everyone the nominees for Best Picture.¡± Nicholson hid the nomination envelope behind his back. Keaton smiled helplessly: "I'm happy to do it, Jack, thank you." She read out the nomination information from memory, after "Tower of Babel", "The Departed", "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "The Queen" , she became more and more nervous: "Oh my god, there is also "Winter's Bone". The producers are Ye Wei and Peter Heller." She raised her hands and made a victory sign.
The camera once again focused on Ye Wei's seat, and the audience gave another loud round of applause, and they were also applauding. Peter Heller and his wife Terry in the back row smiled forcefully, Alicia and Jennifer in the front row had expressionless faces, Lily smiled, and Ye Wei raised his head, all looking forward to it.
How could it not be?
This damn Oscar! Ye Wei knew that all the people who supported him and loved him were looking forward to and praying for him at this time. He didn't care about the Weinstein brothers, but he cared about his family, friends, colleagues, movie fans, and himself His heart felt like being beaten. The stone holds down.
I really want to win an award tonight, just this once.
Lily¡¯s right hand was held tightly. Ye Wei looked at her and held her hand tightly.
On the big screen, Nicholson opened the envelope on the stage, and Keaton was too nervous to look, hiding behind him and putting his arm around his shoulders. This is exactly the mood of the world right now. "The Oscar winner is" Nicholson looked through his sunglasses, and Keaton looked too, and Nicholson announced: "The producer of 'The Departed' is Graham King. Keaton suddenly screamed: "Oh!"
Loud shouts and shouts were heard from all over the stage. Not all the audience stood up, but the ecstatic "The Departed" members stood up instantly, pumping fists, hugging, and laughing. It was unbelievable! Graham King proudly buttoned his coat and walked to the stage. Scorsese was confused in the aisle and didn't know how to react.
"The Departed" won, "Winter's Bone" lost. Ye Wei's 13 nominations for his three films all failed, and "Two Bones" became the only runner-up in five categories this year.
Many public relations professionals exhaled with laughter. The battle ended in a loser. Harvey Weinstein and Ye Wei lost their bet. They were the biggest losers tonight and the biggest controversy this year.
At the moment of the announcement, something seemed to break. Jennifer covered her shaky head with both hands, and Alicia yelled out loud: "Ahhhh!!" She was not shouting for "The Departed" like Keaton, hers The cry was almost a cry, and there were many more such cries in the auditorium.
The handsome Lily leaned over, and Ye Wei was also a little depressed.
Sitting here for a night, more than three long and complicated hours, expecting again and again, being disappointed again and again, listening to this speech, listening to that speech, and finally my heart broke.
