The technical awards at the beginning are both appetizers for the Oscars and consolation prizes for the lost, starting with the award for Best Adapted Screenplay, and tonight's Oscars enter **.

The crew of "Brokeback Mountain" first won the best adapted screenplay, then won the best cinematography, and then the best editing also fell into their hands.

"These three awards are in hand, and the best director is not guaranteed," Ronan whispered to Jessica Felton, "but the best picture is basically ours." ”

Jessica Felton nodded lightly: "I've also heard that the screenplay, editing, and cinematography awards are the outposts of the best picture, and if you get two of them, you have more than eighty percent chance of winning the award." ”

The crew was excited at this time, even Ang Lee, who was a little nervous, even if he couldn't win the best director, it would be a huge victory for him as a director to have the best picture.

It is also possible to completely reverse the decline since "The Incredible Hulk".

However, the actors were somewhat disappointed, Anne Hathaway did not come to the scene at all because she was not nominated, Michelle Williams and Jack Gyllen Hill have lost Best Supporting Actor, and Heath Ledger needs a miracle to win Best Actor.

Indeed, the actor of another gay film, Philip Hoffman, a veteran actor who can beat Heath Ledger in terms of age and seniority alone, won the first Best Actor Golden Man in his life.

This result is also in line with the public relations investment of Embassy Pictures, which does not have enough resources to invest, and of course there will be no corresponding output.

The subsequent Best Actress, Reese Witherspoon, won Best Actress, and another Hollywood vase completed its metamorphosis at the Oscars.

Ronan remembers correctly, this is also one of the most popular actresses in the past 30 years, and it is said that Reese Witherspoon smashed the remaining salary from the past two films to do public relations.

The effect is remarkable, but it is not easy for actresses to recoup their costs.

Since the beginning of the new century, several Oscar Best Actresses have used extremely vivid cases to fully interpret what is called the curse of the Oscar actress.

Halle Berry and Catwoman, Nicole Kidman and The Fairy Wife, Charlize Theron and Magic Woman, there is only one thing to compare, and who pounces worse than whom.

Hilary Swank is a more rational person, since winning the Oscar for Best Actress, she has not taken on any movies until now, which can be described as cautious.

In fact, this situation is not difficult to understand, and now winning the Oscar for Best Actress is often not only the film company investing resources, but also the actors themselves also need considerable investment, and the investment must require a return, and the honor of the Oscar Golden Man alone will definitely not meet the needs of the winners.

Therefore, stars are eager to return to their original costs and take on high-paying commercial films, and the most important thing they are staring at is the salary, so they will naturally ignore others.

Moreover, the goddess of literature and art, touted by the media and film critics, may not be popular among mass fans.

With the sound of passionate music, last year's best director Clint Eastwood stepped on the stage to the beat, and the older and tougher cowboy will present this year's Oscar for Best Director.

Ang Lee maintained a smile, a little nervous, the Oscars have been held for the seventy-eighth session, and no Chinese director has ever been able to win the Best Director Golden Man.

As long as he can win the award, Ang Lee is not only the first person in the East, but will inevitably go down in the entire history of Oriental films, and even become an iconic figure in the Oriental film industry.

After many Oscar awards, Ronan can already face it with a relatively stable mentality.

Jessica Felton glanced at Ronan, she knows Ronan quite well, and in the last two awards, winning the award is not so much an honor, but a means that it can increase the global box office by $40 million and the offline channel revenue by $60 million.

On stage, Clint Eastwood's cross-talk is as direct as his own character: "The following five directors have brought us five wonderful films in the past year!"

As he spoke, he was already looking sideways at the big screen, which was accompanied by images from various films: "Tonight's Oscar nominees for Best Director are, Steven Spielberg's "Munich", George Clooney's "Good Night, Good Luck", Ann Lee's "Brokeback Mountain", Bennett Miller's "Capote", Joe White's "Pride and Prejudice". ”

Clint Eastwood didn't give anyone any time to be nervous or expectant at all, opened the envelope and didn't even lift his head, and said: "The winner of the best director is Ann Lee, "Brokeback Mountain"!"

The applause immediately rang out, Ronan immediately gave a standing ovation, and at the same time beckoned everyone in the crew to stand up, and everyone in the crew stood up and gave Ang Lee a round of applause, and the people around him also stood up.

Soon, in the area where the guests in the front row of the theater were sitting, everyone stood up.

Ang Lee first hugged his wife Lin Huijia, this is a very amazing woman, Ang Lee has ups and downs, and finally won the best director, Lin Huijia has a lot of credit.

Then, Ang Lee hugged Ronan again: "Thank you." ”

These words are short and hasty, but they contain countless gratitude.

"Come on stage. Ronan gently slapped Ang Lee's arm.

Ang Lee nodded heavily and walked all the way to the highest stage of his directorial career, but before he went on stage, he looked back at where the crew was.

At this moment, he felt that he was really lucky to meet Ronan.

Walking onto the stage to take the Oscar from Clint Eastwood, Ang Lee stood in front of the microphone: "Two years ago, I had a serious setback in my career, and all that was left was depression, but one person told me that failure was not a problem of my ability, it was just that I chose a project that wasn't suitable. He encouraged me, he trusted me, he was willing to take risks and invest in me, and I am where I am today. So, I want to thank him!"

Ang Lee looked at the location of the crew of "Brokeback Mountain": "Ronan, thank you! Without you, I might be a loser and wouldn't be standing here." ”

Countless eyes from the audience turned to Ronan's side.

At this moment, the winner is Ang Lee, but the focus of the Kodak Theater is Ronan.

Sitting in his seat, Ronan always maintained a proper smile.

Ang Lee's testimonial continued, but due to time constraints, he sped up his speech: "Thank you for the recognition of the college." The film "Brokeback Mountain" is neither about homosexuality, nor about women and love, but about love itself, which is a story about true love. Thank you all for your support, thank you to my wife and son, I love you and I will always be with you. Although my father passed away during this time, I would like to thank my mother at home. ”

Speaking of this, he changed to Chinese: "Thank you to all compatriots in the East for your support, thank you for your concern!"

Although he is a standard banana man, Ang Lee has always been a very smart person.

After Ang Lee finished his acceptance speech, he did not go backstage, but stood at the exit of the backstage, waiting for the last award to be awarded.

The 78th Academy Awards has been held so far, and only the last award has not yet been announced.

Best Picture!

Jack Nicholson, who wore sunglasses and looked like a gangster boss, walked onto the stage with an envelope in his hand.

Ronan is very stable, there is no dark horse this time, "Crash" was pulled to the Oscar by him last year, and there is no racist suppression.

The only thing to worry about is the egalitarian pie split.

But "Brokeback Mountain" won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Cinematography and Best Editing, and the chances of winning the award are very low.

Since joining this Oscar game and having a certain strength, under the influence of Ronan, Embassy Pictures' Olympic strategy has always been an upright public relations award, from the initial outpost awards, the operating films are popular, and they continue to win various awards, and they have become the number one hit at the Oscars.

Upsets are all small probability events, and the Oscar with the highest chance of winning has always been a popular player in the awards season.

On stage, Jack Nicholson had opened the envelope and announced the results: "Best Picture is Brokeback Mountain!"

The upset did not appear, and it was a common occurrence for the Oscars to win big hits, and "Brokeback Mountain" was no exception.

The applause rang out again, and the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" was jubilant.

Jessica Felton hugged Ronan: "Congratulations!"

Ronan felt the two mountains pressing down, and separated with a little hug: "Thank you." He greeted all the crew members: "Come on stage, go on stage to receive the award!"

This is completely different from last year's "Crash" winning Best Picture.

"Crash" is a film that has been purchased from outside the embassy pictures, while "Brokeback Mountain" is produced and distributed in-house by Relativity Entertainment.

A dozen people in the crew walked to the stage together under the leadership of Ronan, and only Jessica Felton and a few family members were left in the seats.

Someone like Jessica Felton certainly wouldn't keep up and join in the fun.

Ang Lee also walked out of the stage exit and hugged the main creators of the crew one by one to celebrate.

Tonight was a veritable night of happiness for him.

Ronan took over the golden man from Jack Nicholson, and Ang Lee had just given his acceptance speech and stepped aside.

"Thank you, Academy. Ronan's acceptance speech was more like a routine: "Thank you Director Ang Lee for bringing a masterpiece, thank you to all the crew members, and thank you to Shahai Entertainment and all the people involved in the work of this film, you are all good!"

He raised the trophy: "This is my first Oscar trophy! It's a great honor! Life never stops, movies don't go out! I never get tired of movies!"

In a round of applause, all the crew members of "Brokeback Mountain" exited.

Coming backstage, Ronan gave the opportunity for reporters to interview others, and the little golden man also temporarily handed over the technician to engrave the name of the award.

There was a lot of commotion backstage, and many people came over to congratulate Ronan.

There is no doubt that "Brokeback Mountain" is the super big winner tonight, and Relativity Entertainment is also the big commercial winner of this Oscar.

The two heavyweight awards of Best Director and Best Picture are enough for Relativity Entertainment to launch another wave of publicity and distribution offensive for "Brokeback Mountain".
