The 905 ceremony ended
The five nominees for Best Director, all the analysis, all the statistics, all the measurements, all the predictions, have lost their meaning at this moment.
Everyone knows that Michelle of the "Artist" was born out of thin air, as a dark horse, paying tribute to the Academy, paying tribute to the film industry, paying tribute to the Golden Age, and becoming the frontrunner in the awards season;
Everyone also knows that Terrence of the "Tree of Life" is undoubtedly a dark horse, just like Gary Oldman, who is the candidate for the actor, and Rooney Mara, who is the candidate for the actress, has outstanding strength, but lacks momentum. There is a high probability that it should be an accompaniment.
But, after a long night and an amazing upheaval, it is clear that the previous predictions and assessments can be thrown into the trash, and sitting quietly and waiting for the results is the best thing to do.
Michael Douglas didn't keep the audience waiting too long, opening the envelope, browsing the cards, his eyes widening, and his voice paused slightly. This short look grabbed the attention of all the audience, and then, he announced the answer, "The 84th Oscars, the winner of Best Director is ......" Michael stared at the card intently, and said word by word, "'Hugo', Martin Scorsese." ”
Tick-tock, tick-tock, the sound of the heart beating and hitting can be clearly heard at the scene, and then in an instant, the depressed emotions are cathartic like a waterfall rainstorm, and all the audience in the audience stood up in shock and shock, and sent blessings and congratulations with the most grand, grandest and most magnificent applause!
Martin Scorse! It's actually Martin Scorse! Prize favorite Michelle Hazanavicius has fallen, and Martin Scorsese has won the gold man again!
Martin Scorsese, without a doubt, is one of the most important directors in the history of American cinema, "Taxi Driver", "Raging Bull", "Good Guy", "Bad Street", "Age of Innocence", etc., all of which are masterpieces that have gone down in history, along with Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and Francis Ford Coppola, as the four major directors of the eighties.
But by mistake, he has never been able to get the recognition of the Oscar statuette. After entering the millennium, Martin was a little crazy, "New York Gang", "The Aviator", "The Departed", each work is a love letter to the Oscars, the love is sincere, but after all, he has lost his usual sharpness and profundity.
2006's "Departed", under the right time, place and circumstances, finally made Martin's dream of the Oscar come true, and he successfully won Best Director and Best Picture. Is this Martin's best work? Apparently not; is this Martin's masterpiece? Apparently not. Under the dual effect of merit votes and sympathy votes, Martin successfully fulfilled his long-cherished wish.
After that, letting go of the shackles of Oscar, Martin got rid of his usual blackness and violence, and after letting go of his hands and feet, he continued to break through himself. This year, the amazing "Hugo" was filmed, the use of lenses, the scheduling of viewing, the locking of performances and the childlike joy of returning to the original intention, showing the different style of this director.
In the opening of tonight's Oscars, Billy Crystal teased Martin in the singing segment, "That violent, bloody, dark, foul-mouthed Martin, if there is a sequel to 'Hugo', please come back, okay?" However, no one can deny that Martin, who broke through himself, was more free, but showed a master's demeanor.
Now, Martin Scorsese has won his second Oscar for Best Director with a love letter to the movie. So unexpected, yet so surprising!
The audience gave a standing ovation, thunderous applause, and amazed again and again.
Under the watchful eye, Martin walked onto the stage with a look of surprise and surprise on his face, receiving the Golden Man trophy from Michael's hand, with a childlike smile on his face.
The audience stood for a long time, and the applause was even crazier than the collective salute of the "Departed", and even more enthusiastic than any of the winners tonight.
Standing in the crowd, Harvey Weinstein's emotions spiraled out of control. In the early years, he had been a scheming fox with a good ability to control his emotions, but as his power grew, he had less and less need to hide and control himself, and his ability to suppress his temper gradually began to weaken.
Tonight, with the victory in hand, it is almost the moment of the coronation and enthronement of the "artist", but after the "Iron Lady" upset and won the actress Xiaojinren, she was defeated again and again, and lost the best actor and best director successively. This is absolutely a great shame! The surging emotions suddenly broke through the shackles.
I took off the cigar from the corner of my mouth, threw it on the ground, and then raised my foot and crushed it again, exerting all my strength. All the manners, all the manners, all the elegance, all the eruption of the volcanic rage, the continuous eruption, but this still could not vent his anger, even if the award ceremony was still going on, Harvey was on the verge of losing control.
Luckily, the audience gave a standing ovation, and in the midst of the surging crowd, Xavi's movements were quite hidden, and the others around him pretended not to see it. No one dared to anger Weinstein in a thunderous rage.
"That's guy! it's all because of that guy!" Harvey began to grit his teeth, it all started with that guy. Damn! Damn it!
The cigar under his feet had been completely shattered, and he watched as the trivial tobacco leaves disappeared into the red carpet as if they had been mutilated. Harvey's temper finally calmed down, took a deep breath, took another deep breath, straightened his suit, straightened his hair, smiled again, and began to applaud politely and gracefully, giving Martin a round of applause.
Tonight's shame is something Harvey will never forget. Or, to be more precise, the stigma of Sundance has never faded, but the war, starting in earnest tonight, has been a little more than a sprinkler of water, and now the real battle begins, let them see who will kill the deer.
Don't quit the entertainment industry. Harvey changed his mind, and he sincerely prayed that guy would never quit the entertainment industry, and they still had a long, long time to compete before the account was settled.
After the award of the best director, only the best picture remains, and the current situation is that "Hugo" is absolutely ahead, with five technical trophies, plus one best director award, deservedly becoming the frontrunner, the favorite in the first half, after a twist and turn, returned to the ranks of the favorites again.
Outside of this, the other four works are equally divided. Two technical trophies for "Artist", and one core award for "Posterity", "Midnight in Paris" and "Help".
With nine nominated works and five competing for the final award, "Hugo" is far ahead, and the suspense of the award ceremony seems to have finally surfaced. So, when the last award presenter, Tom Cruise, appeared on the stage, the atmosphere of the entire Kodak Theater relaxed, the tense pressure seemed to be released in an instant, and the party returned to the noise and prosperity of harmony, singing and dancing.
Even the audience in front of the TV has begun to slacken. Whether it's a port, or a Facebook tweet, or a snack, or a small talk, everyone seems to be sure they know the result. Until Tom Cruise opened the envelope.
Looking at the envelope in his hand, Tom hesitated, but after confirming it repeatedly, he still announced the result, "The winner of the 84th Academy Award for Best Picture is ...... 'artist'. ”
Not "Hugo", but "Artist". The narcissistic academy and narcissistic filmmakers finally chose to pay tribute to their "artists" instead of the "Hugo" of the film; the Weinstein brothers' vicious vision and accurate public relations once again created an Oscar miracle, overturned a lot of opponents, and reached the highest stage.
Harvey, who had re-hidden all his emotions, accepted the congratulations and congratulations of everyone around him with a smile on his face, and Chun/Feng proudly embraced his own glory and light. As for what is really in the heart, this is unknown.
But for the audience, for the guests, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Picture, four consecutive awards upset, such a trend, really fell through everyone's glasses.
In fact, before the award ceremony, in the race for best film, "The Artist" was already slightly ahead, "Hugo" and "Midnight in Paris" were slightly less competitive, and "Posterity" was a little behind.
The award of the "artist" should be expected, but after the ups and downs of the award process tonight, when almost everyone thought that "Hugo" would win the award, it once again overturned people's speculation and returned to the "track", but is this a shock or a surprise?
When the name of the "artist" came out of the microphone, the sound of gasping could be clearly heard, and in front of the television, the sound of breaking things could be clearly heard—not heartbreak, but smashing plates and potato chips, the crisp sound and dislocated jaws, like a satirical mime, showing people's confusion and panic.
This is the result of the hand-voted votes of the college judges, but even themselves, before the award is announced, can not predict the choice of 6,000 judges, and now it seems that in the chaos of this year, everyone's choice is full of surprises and challenges, so it has created another upset after 2005.
Back then, "Brokeback Mountain" lost to "Crash", which is still considered the worst and most wrong choice after the Oscars millennium, and this year, "Hugo" lost to "The Artist", so how will history view this result?
The 84th Academy Awards ended in such an atmosphere, with "The Artist" winning three statuettes and topping the Best Picture, while "Hugo" won six statuettes and won the second Best Director for Martin Scorsese, but unfortunately missed the ultimate award, and the other awards were divided between different works.
In addition, Meryl Streep won her third gold medal and really went down in history, while Lan Li Hall won her first gold medal, breaking the age record for the best actor to win the award, and Christopher Plummer became the oldest acting award winner in film history.
Such an unusual award ceremony has finally come to an end, and as for the awards, it will be left to future generations to comment.
