With the waves caused by the Best Score award, the 61st Academy Awards has also unknowingly entered the final stage.

When Anne Archer introduced the last Best Picture nominated for this Oscar "Working Girl", Kurt Russell and Godie Han took the stage together and began to present the Best Actor award.

In front of and behind the scenes, inside and outside the court, the people who had just experienced a wonderful 'showdown' held their breath and concentrated again.

On the stage, after a joking speech, the Russell couple took turns to say: "The nominees for Best Actor at this year's Oscars are, Gene Hacockman, "Mississippi is Burning", Tom Hanks, "Flyby Future", Dustin Hoffman, "Rain Man", Edward James Omos, "Teacher", Robert De Niro, "Dead Poets Society". ”

During the introduction, the camera camera focused on the five nominees in the audience.

Kurt Russell opened the envelope and whetted everyone's appetite with Goldie Han, and the couple finally announced at the same time: "The winner of Best Actor is, Dustin Hoffman, "Rain Man", congratulations, this is Dustin's second Oscar." ”

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

The audience burst into applause, and when Dustin Hoffman walked onto the stage, some people took the initiative to stand up, and the applause became even more enthusiastic. Led by those people, the rest of the people in the hall also stood up one after another, and the applause lasted for more than a minute before finally falling.

Dustin Hoffman hugged Russell and his wife respectively, took the little golden figure from Kurt Russell's hand, came to the microphone, looked at the people who got up in the audience, and said, "Thank you, thank you." After the applause stopped and everyone sat down again, Hoffman shook the little gold figure in his hand and continued: "Seriously, it's not easy to get this award. ”

Everyone in the award hall heard Dustin Hoffman say this, and they didn't know if he meant it, but many people let out a 'knowing' laugh.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Michael Ovitz, President of CAA, without whom there would be no Rain Man. The script has been in the works since three years ago, and many times it has been almost unsustainable, and whenever we thought the project was about to run aground completely, Michael would always express his strongest support for the film before everyone could finally see the film on the big screen. Secondly, I want to thank Barry, who took over the Rain Man script after a lot of directors quit one after another, and he created the film, and Tom, who was a great partner......"

Compared with the short speech time of the technical awards, Dustin Hoffman babbled for more than three minutes, telling the entire "behind-the-scenes" story of "Rain Man", from Michael Ovitz to Barry Levinson's royal editors, summed up how difficult it was for the film's creator, how bumpy the birth of this project was, and how much the people he mentioned contributed to "Rain Man".

Although Dustin Hoffman looked at the sky from time to time, as if he was out of shape, he was very precise throughout his speech, bypassing all information related to Daenerys' entertainment.

In recent years, CAA has recruited a large number of top A-list stars in Hollywood, most of whom are judges for the Oscar actor awards, coupled with their intertwined network, CAA's potential influence in actor awards is much stronger than that of the veteran MA, not to mention Daenerys Entertainment, which has only been established for less than three years.

Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment everyone had expected the current result.

However, listening to Dustin Hoffman's speech on stage, Amy and the others' faces were still a little ugly.

Circles know that if Simon hadn't given the green light to "Rain Man", the project might have been in a state of nowhere until now. Now, all the credit seems to have gone to someone else in Hoffman's words.

When Dustin Hoffman finally finished his speech and came backstage, everyone in the CAA department immediately surrounded him, but Daenerys Entertainment just watched from the sidelines, and the two sides didn't bother to be polite to each other.

In the end, there were only three awards left: Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture, and Ella Deutchman whispered Amy if she wanted to leave early. The Best Actress award has nothing to do with Daenerys Entertainment, and as for the other two, after the Best Actor award, the confident Doychman no longer thinks there will be anything special to change.

Amy just shook her head, crossed her arms and looked at the live TV screen backstage, quietly waiting for the final result.

Two months ago, the farce of the Golden Globe Award for Best Actress 'Three Yellow Eggs' naturally won't happen at the Oscars, and Jodie Foster won her first Oscar statuette for "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" as she did in the original time and space.

Jonathan Friedman, vice president of MA, who had been waiting for the results of the awards, looked at Jodie Foster, who was giving an acceptance speech on stage, and was also depressed.

Jodie Foster was also a client of MA earlier.

The decline of MA over the years has not been reversed by the discovery of Simon Westeros, a talented teenager in Hollywood, and MA's clients continue to be lost.

Jodie Foster was also poached from ICM early last year when Ed Limato, another vice president of MA, led stars such as Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington, and Michelle Pfeiffer. Then, in just one year, Jodie Foster changed her tepid career status in previous years with "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms", and won the Oscar at the age of 25.

Thinking about it, Jonathan Friedman couldn't help but secretly clench his fists.

Fortunately, this situation will not continue anytime soon.

MA's president, Norman Broca, is leaving the company in the near future.

Over the years, many of MA's agents have lost ace customers, but Jonathan has not only kept Bryan De Palma, Robert Duval, Billy Crystal and other big-name customers, successfully signed big names like Robert De Niro, but also cultivated Sandra Bullock, Matt Dillon and other first-line stars, Simon's rise in Hollywood is even more dazzling.

As a result, Jonathan is almost the undisputed choice of MA as the next president, and he takes it for granted.

This time, if the old men at the top continue to play with power and hand over the positions that belong to him to others, Jonathan feels that this talent agency that has lasted for more than half a century will also come to a complete decline, and he will choose to leave without hesitation.

In the live footage, Dennis Quaid and Michelle Pfeiffer take the stage, and Friedman retracts his thoughts.

Even though they didn't have too many expectations, Amy and the others were still staring intently at the TV screen.

This is tonight's penultimate award, Best Director.

"A good director is like a good captain, he is the heart and soul of the crew, without the captain's guidance, it is difficult for any ship to sail to the right distance. ”

"It is my pleasure to introduce you to tonight's five 'Captains', and of course, no matter which one of them wins, it will be no one else's name. ”

The nominees for this year's Academy Award for Best Director are: "

"Mike Nicholson, 'Working Girl';

"Charles Creechton, A Fish Named Wanda;"

"Barry Levinson, 'Rain Man';"

"Alan Parker, Mississippi is Burning;"

Peter Weir, Dead Poets Society. ”

After introducing the five nominees in turn, Michelle Pfeiffer, who was wearing a big red V-neck evening dress tonight, looked down the stage with her eyes wandering, but the movements of her hands did not stop, slowly but skillfully 'blind opened' the envelope, pulled out the card with the list of winners, and then bowed her head.

Seeing the results of the award, a flash of surprise flashed on the face of the amorous girl who had been discharging just now, but she quickly smiled and showed the envelope to Dennis Quaid beside her.

Dennis Quaid debuted in the seventies, and his career slowly began to improve in middle age.

has been in Hollywood for many years, so he is naturally very aware of all kinds of gossip in the circle.

Glancing at the award results handed over by Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid did not show a surprised expression, but took the envelope, took it in his hand and looked at it 'carefully' a few times, made a full gesture, and whetted everyone's appetite, and finally announced into the microphone that many people had guessed but were not willing to believe the award results.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Director is, Peter Weir, "Dead Poets Society". ”

Inside the hall, after a noticeable brief silence, applause rang out.

Backstage at the ceremony, although Deutchman was not as gaffe as when the best soundtrack was awarded, he still raised his hand and clenched his fist, and tacitly touched Amy and others.

Inside the hall, Peter Weir, who was overjoyed, walked briskly to the stage.

Although the camera of the five candidates cuts out, the live camera camera once again sweeps to Barry Levinson, the director of "Rain Man", and successfully captures Levinson's obvious disappointment and even anger.

This is Barry Levinson's first nomination for Best Director, and apparently the most likely to win.

At the beginning, everyone was not optimistic about "Rain Man", but the film unexpectedly counterattacked, and the counterattack caught people off guard, which is enough to prove the strong uncertainty of the filmmaking.

Having missed out on this most promising opportunity to win the award, it's hard to say if Barry Levinson will win another Oscar.

You must know that both the media and the audience often compare a filmmaker's work with his predecessor when evaluating his work. Obviously, "Rain Man" is already a pinnacle for Barry Levinson, and he is destined to make a better film than "Rain Man" in the future.

Unable to come up with a work that surpasses "Rain Man", and under the comparison of mentality and public opinion, even if he can be nominated again, the possibility of winning the award is very small.

Calm down and listen to Peter Weir's excited acceptance speech on the stage, whether it is in the hall, backstage of the ceremony or the media reporters waiting for the results outside, after some combing, they gradually realized that the reasons for Peter Weir's award are actually traceable.

Peter Weir has already been nominated for an Oscar for Best Director for 1985's "The Witness," and he already has an advantage over Barry Levinson in this regard. So, while the results were somewhat unexpected, they weren't abrupt.

"Rain Man" is a phenomenal film, which is true, but "Dead Poets" is also a very good film. Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment has spared no effort in its PR offensive this awards season.

"Rain Man" is not too outstanding in terms of lenses, editing and other technical aspects, so it is natural that it missed the previous technical awards. However, under the attack of a group of veteran top soundtrack artists, Simon Westeros's Best Score Award has actually proved the effectiveness of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations.

As for the 'loss' in terms of Best Actor, the main reason is that Daenerys Entertainment has no other strong PR targets in this regard.

Robert De Niro, who was nominated for Best Actor for "Dead Poets Society", has won two Oscars for Best Actor before this, which is already a limit for Hollywood actors. Unless De Niro can come up with another super-phenomenal movie that even surpasses "Rain Man", otherwise, under normal circumstances, he will have to wait at least ten or twenty years to win his third Oscar.

On the other hand, there is no doubt that Dustin Hoffman's performance in Rain Man is as impeccable as the film itself.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment diluted Hoffman's votes by targeting De Niro with public relations, De Niro is unlikely to win the award when the other three candidates other than Hoffman and De Niro are not strong, and the final award is a matter of course.

In this way, Dustin Hoffman's award cannot be regarded as a failure of Daenerys Entertainment.

Now, Peter Weir of "Dead Poets Society" has won the Best Director award, and after many people taste it carefully, they suddenly find that this Oscar, the dark war between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA, after all, Daenerys Entertainment is superior.

Dustin Hoffman just got an award that he had very easy access to.

What Peter Weir is getting now is the result of the award after a fierce battle between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA. You must know that CAA, which has been operating in Hollywood for more than ten years, is strong in terms of actors, and its connections in the field of directing should not be underestimated.

In comparison, the entertainment disadvantages of Daenerys, who have a shallow background, are very obvious.

The fact that he was able to win the award in such adversity, coupled with Simon Westeros's previous best soundtrack statuette, is enough to prove the success of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations strategy this year.

News of Peter Weir's award for Best Director for "Dead Poets Society" spread quickly, and the ceremony continued in the Holy Civic Auditorium, but at the same time entered its final conclusion.

The Best Picture was presented to Cher, the winner of the Best Actress in the previous edition.

This point can once again see the difference in the details of this year's Oscars, in addition to the absence of a host, the award presenters did not follow the traditional model of awarding the best male lead to the best female lead and the best female lead to the best male lead.

There was no suspense in the final award results, and "Rain Man" successfully won the 61st Academy Award for Best Picture.

Daenerys Entertainment has declared a total of two producers, one is Barry Levinson's royal producer Mark Johnson, and the other is Daenerys Entertainment's own spokesperson. Through this arrangement, Daenerys Entertainment will receive a statuette to be displayed at the company's headquarters as a permanent honor.

After Best Picture, the 61st Academy Awards ended successfully.

However, the aftermath of all this has only just begun.
