1809 Magical Sight
The 86th edition of the Academy Awards was a bit of a bumpy affair, and despite some unexpected results, it was overall expected, but it was Alan DeGianis's interaction with social networks that stole most of the attention and sparked a lot of discussion – both online and offline.
Until the Best Supporting Actress award broke out, causing a tsunami-like storm and reversing the established pattern of the entire awards season in one fell swoop.
The awards ceremony is finally starting to get interesting.
The second stage of the all-round and monstrous "American Hustle" has lost the Best Costume Design Award, the Best Art Direction Award and the Best Supporting Actress Award in the most hopeful, although there are still many awards left in the awards ceremony, and this work has been shortlisted for nominations, but the competitiveness has declined across the board, officially announcing the competition for Best Picture.
This also marks that all the efforts of the "American Hustle" crew in the second phase are in vain, which looks like a flourishing but turns out to be just a mirage.
With the momentum of "Race/Race/Card" to steadily lead the second stage of the awards season "Twelve Years as a Slave", the Best Supporting Actress department was originally the foothold for them to launch a counteroffensive, but now it has suffered an upset, and the forward momentum has suffered a slap in the face, although it is still not completely lost hope, but the situation is not optimistic, the uncertainty of the follow-up awards is continuing to rise, and the melee situation may bring any kind of unexpected ending.
On the other hand, "Gravity" jumped to the top favorite seed for Best Picture in one fell swoop.
In the second phase, Warner Bros.'s college PR suffered repeated blows, except for the small actions of Weinstein and Thomas Toole, the most fundamental reason was positioning, the lack of the emotional card of race and the American dream, just fighting hard with absolute strength, which is really difficult to break through during the awards season - everyone knows that this game is never about absolute strength. This makes "gravity" passive again and again.
The complete disregard in the opening stage of the award ceremony is the most direct manifestation of Warner Bros.'s lack of strength: in the second stage, "gravity", which led the nomination stage strongly, was squeezed step by step to the position of the third seed, and almost completely lost, and the situation is not optimistic. This also makes there more suspense when the technical awards are awarded.
But now, after sweeping the technical awards, "Gravity" has made an incredible breakthrough in the Best Supporting Actress category — and the most important breakthrough — turning the tide in an instant.
The suspense rises sharply!
From the side, it can be concluded that in the second stage, "12 years of slavery" and "American scam" were too strong, and the two opponents showed an intensive confrontation posture of chasing after me, but they were not able to really impress the judges, so the "gravity" that silently opened the way with strength quietly won more support.
All this is reminiscent of the last Oscars: in the race for best director, Ben Affleck of "Escape from Tehran" unexpectedly lost his nomination, causing a lot of controversy, and then Steven Spielberg of "Lincoln" and David O. Russell of "The Happiness Line Behind the Clouds" became the biggest favorites suddenly rose to the occasion and won his second Best Director Golden Man, which detonated an exclamation.
Now, a similar sight seems to be repeated.
At this point, tonight's awards show a very different picture, far from the previous predictions, which also adds more excitement to the race for Best Picture.
Could it be that Allen's ridicule in the opening stage is really going to be reversed?
Following the Twitter frenzy, the awards show itself is starting to get interesting, and that's a good thing.
But there's one more thing that needs to be done before we can get back on track with the awards ceremony.
Alan DeJanis reappeared on the stage with a big smile on her face, "Congratulations again! Wow, your dress is so beautiful!" Alan also praised it casually, deliberately glancing up and down at Rooney who was leaving the stage from the perspective of "men looking at beautiful women", and then said, "I'm almost about to whistle." ”
The guests at the scene couldn't help but laugh in understanding, but the smiles of men and women have different meanings.
Immediately after, Alan snapped his fingers, "Yes, yes, yes, good news, the pizza is here!" and then Alan turned around and waved to the side.
A young man with a red hat, wearing a black T-shirt and a gray hoodie, with a restrained and shy smile on his face, walked out with a cautious step uneasily, looking at the star-studded audience, as if he didn't know what expression to make, and the whole person looked a little wooden.
Alan enthusiastically took the initiative to meet and patted the man's arm, "Come on, come on, let's go down here." ”
The man cautiously stepped away and walked down the steps with Allen, but then Allen smiled and said, "I lied to you, we don't want to go back to the backstage, we need to provide door-to-door service." ”
At this time, the guests and audience noticed that Allen was holding a round dish in his left hand, on which were stacked with thick stacks of disposable plates:
Alan is serious! Alan is really ready to hand out pizza live at the Dolby Theatre!
Make up the picture: the award ceremony is underway, but the guests are secretly eating pizza, like children stealing snacks in class, which is really exciting
Let's make up the picture again: the guests at the scene are holding disposable dinner plates, not ready to eat pizza, but they can't put the pizza on their knees - because it may stain the dress, which is even worse, so they can only be held in their hands so awkwardly, showing a tray state throughout the whole process, and the picture is too beautiful to see.
To eat or not to eat?
This is an extremely embarrassing scene, and then, the guests at the scene looked at Allen's expression and it was really wonderful, it seemed that everyone was hesitating and struggling: what if Allen came over?
The live camera is tightly locked on Alan and the delivery boy, but more images can be seen in the corners of the camera, which is the most exciting content at this moment.
"We've got a garden pizza with tomato sauce, and cheese flavors, a few different flavors, who's hungry? Guys over here?" Alan was already in the audience, "Come on, help, I haven't done this before, we have ......" Chiwet-Ejioo, who was sitting on the outermost side of the first row on the right side of the scene, reached out to catch a box of pizzas, and Allen's words were interrupted, "You want a whole box?"
Chewett smiled and said, "I'm not going to finish the whole box, I'm going to help distribute it." ”
"Okay, okay!" Alan was also a little confused, standing in place stunned, "Brad, Angie, can you help distribute disposable plates?"
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sat right behind Chiwett, and they also stood up one after another and took the plate from Alan.
Lan Li, who was sitting on the other side, had just taken his seat, his eyes hadn't completely taken off Rooney, and then he saw Alan and a ...... A takeaway guy appeared together, he was also full of question marks, there was a pause in his thoughts for a moment, his brows couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he heard Kate's low laughter in his ears.
Lan Li turned her head along with the voice, and Kate's face full of smiles appeared in front of her, "It's really rare for Your Excellency Lan Li to have such a confused expression. ”
Lan Li pursed the corners of her lips slightly, "I'm also an ordinary person." Kate threw her head back and laughed, "So, what the hell is going on here?"
Before Kate could answer, Alan had already turned around, "Hey, man, I can use some help now, how about you, are you going to eat pizza?"
Lan Li looked at the panicked Allen, stretched out his hands, and tried to help, but ...... He's really, really not good at it, whether it's in New York or Los Angeles, he's been banned from the kitchen, and even the simplest table setting work, he's somehow able to mess up, clumsy, like his hands and feet are out of harmony.
Alan caught Lan Li's stunnedness, and she tilted her head from side to side, "Okay, I can accept it. A simple sentence succeeded in making the surrounding audience collectively chuckle.
Lan Li himself shrugged his shoulders and said "guilty plea", "But wait, wait a while, can anyone tell me how these pizzas came from?" Lan Li looked directly at the takeaway guy standing next to him, "Hey, can you tell me the ins and outs of the matter?"
The delivery guy brought the pizza in his hand, "I got a call that the Dolby Theatre had ordered three pizzas, and that's the way it was, and then I showed up here." He himself had a question mark on his face, and it was obvious that he was in a fog and could not understand what was going on.
Alan picked up, "Hey, who's your favorite movie actor? they're all here, you can talk to them about your favorite movie." ”
The takeaway guy was a little too busy, his eyes were full of excitement and he looked at the scene, "uh, uh......" I didn't know what to say for a while.
Lan Li smiled and said, "There are a few too many choices, hey, just a reminder, I'm Lan Li Hall, and this one next to me is Cate Blanchett." "The subtext seems to say that you can choose the nearest one.
The guests at the scene could taste the ridicule in Lan Li's words and laughed one after another.
The delivery boy stammered, "yes, yes, I love 'Drunken Country Balk,' I mean, I went to the cinema three times and loved it every time." ”
"Oh, it looks like we've met a veteran cinephile. Kate also sighed.
With the help of the delivery boy, Lan Li finally got a slice of pizza, and then Allen's voice came, "Wait, Kelly Washington is pregnant, you need to leave a little for her." ”
Immediately after, Alan walked over and patted the takeaway brother on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go, let's go there!" Lan Li, you can't help at all, the pizza should be left for us, you better eat less." ”
Lan Li sat in place, holding a corner of pizza, and glared at him with round eyes and said: Wronged, I didn't take more!
