The first to appear is the Best Director Award!

Among the four final awards, the least suspenseful is the Best Director Award.

Alfonso Cuarón in "Gravity", Steve McQueen in "Twelve Years a Slave", David O. Russell in "American Hustle", Alexander Payne in "Nebraska", Martin Scorsese in "The Wolf of Wall Street"

Among the five nominees, Alfonso Cuarón has created a perfect cinematic experience through the powerful control and use of image, sound and space in "gravity", and has shown unparalleled talent and talent in the directorial position, and he can be said to be unrivaled throughout the awards season.

Regardless of the attribution of the best picture, the number one favorite for best director is Alfonso Cuarón, people can criticize the weakness of the script, or the lack of details, but they can't criticize Alfonso for the viewing effect created through his own lens, which once again proves that movies are still a product of cinemas!

The main reason why "gravity" has a unique advantage in the technical department, and even "Captain Phillips" cannot match it, is that Alfonso's scheduling and combination of various production techniques of the film fully exerts the potential and charm of the filmmaking technology, which is amazing.

For Alfonso Cuarón, a "tech nerd", "gravity" fully demonstrates his understanding of the director's position, and the other four directors have not been able to create more magical works at the technical or content level, purely in terms of "director", Alfonso is undoubtedly the number one contestant for best director.

From the Golden Globe Awards to the British Academy Awards to the Directors Guild of America Awards, Alfonso swept all the way and led all the way, showing a strong posture of the top favorite throughout the awards season, and the Best Director Award almost never left anyone behind.

What's more, looking at the overall trend of tonight's Oscars, "gravity" swept the technology awards, and all the momentum of the Best Director award was further surging towards this commercial masterpiece. The only suspense may be "12 years as a slave".

With the "race card" in the second stage of the "12 years of slavery", fully equipped with the ability to push Steve McQueen to the best director, with "hunger" and "shame" in the independent film industry to make a name for himself British director, strength and reputation have been absolutely recognized, low-key and pragmatic personality has also won him a lot of goodwill in Hollywood, under the continuous operation of the academy's public relations, the sprint stage to surpass Alfonso, who opened the situation with absolute strength, although the probability is not large, but it is not impossible.

Having just won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, "12 Years a Slave" wants to further squeeze the advantage of "gravity" in the battle for Best Picture, so every award must go all out. In other words, they need to have confidence and anticipation in each award department, and then go all out to win the grand prize.

So, will it be the absolute strength that wins, or the college PR wins? Who can predict in the Oscar game?

Angelina Jolie and Sidney-Poitier joined hands as the guests of honor

In 1964, Sidney Poitier made history by winning the Oscar for Best Actor with his outstanding performance in "Lilies of the Field", becoming the first black actor in history to reach the top of the actor's throne, and now 2014 is also the 50th anniversary of Sidney Poitier's history, which is definitely a special year to remember.

Sidney Poitier was invited by the Academy to present the award, and Angelina Jolie is also the winner of this year's Oscar for Humanitarianism, a move that also shows the importance it attaches to the Best Director award.

Sidney Poitier, who is 87 years old this year, appeared on stage with the support of Angelina, his spirit is still strong, but his steps are extremely slow, and the traces of time can be clearly seen, and the guests in the audience collectively stood up to send thunderous applause to the actor.

Unintentionally, the suspense dragged on the old elder

Because Sidney was eighty-seven years old, he moved very slowly, slowly opening the envelope and slowly pulling out the card, the whole action went on for at least five seconds, and in the close-up of the camera, it was like five centuries, and the smiles of the five nominees couldn't help but stiffen slightly.

Especially Steve McQueen. It's not that his mentality has changed, but that the close-up of the camera lens magnifies all emotions to the extreme, and that sense of anticipation and tension begins to grow exponentially

After "12 Years as a Slave" has been repressed by the audience, can it be the beginning of the explosion with the award for Best Adapted Screenplay? If he can, then he will win his first Oscar! Just by imagining it in his mind, the blood began to boil, and then Sidney unintentionally lengthened the revelation process, and he became more and more nervous, more and more nervous, and his facial muscles were faintly twisted.

On the contrary, Alfonso Cuarón was more calm but only relative, his state of mind was originally very relaxed, but after such a procrastination, the relaxed mood slowly tightened, and he began to fidget inexplicably, and he adjusted his sitting posture without noticing.

Finally pulling out the envelope, Sidney's presbyopia could not read the handwriting clearly, and he just looked left and right with the card, as if looking for the best angle.

Not to mention the nominees, even the other guests began to feel anxious and nervous, the feeling of heat was slowly heating up, the air was almost condensed, and the tense mood was climbing little by little, making people breathless. But the audience couldn't rush Sidney, because everyone will face the same problem when they reach the age of eighty-seven, which is not Sidney's intention.

The suspense lengthened little by little, and it dragged on for so long that there were no gags to ease the atmosphere, so that the tension reached its peak and then began to slide again, like a spring.

Angelina waited patiently, and after taking a closer look at Sidney, she also realized that Sidney might need reading glasses to see the handwriting, and they had forgotten to prepare in advance, so she politely said, "Is this for me?"

Sidney immediately nodded, "Okay!"

Angelina took the card, looked down and read it, and then spoke the answer aloud, "Alfonso Cuarón, 'gravity'." ”

There is no suspense!

Alfonso Cuarón won the Oscars strongly, winning the eighth Statuette Trophy tonight for the "Gravity" crew, and also his first ever Statuette Trophy, pushing the momentum of "Gravity" to a whole new level

"Twelve Years a Slave" wants to defy "gravity", then it must win the Best Actor award, otherwise ...... It's hard to get to the top. Things are starting to get excited!

Alfonso still showed a slightly surprised expression, and then a smile bloomed, not hiding his happiness, wantonly showing his happiness and joy, and then warmly embraced his wife, surrounded by the cheers and applause of the guests, on the stage.

After taking the stage, Alfonso looked a little cramped, and expressed his gratitude in non-standard English, thanking the academy, the crew, his family, and then showing a little humor, "Luckily, we won this trophy, otherwise it would have taken so much time for so many staff members to follow me, and for them, in addition to contributing wisdom, the color of their hair has also changed." ”

Looking at Alfonso's gray hair, the audience burst into laughter.

"I need to give a special thank you to Ranley Hall, you are gravity. To the applause of the audience, Alfonso looked at Lan Li in the first row, and the camera also focused on Lan Li.

"You are the heart and soul of the whole movie. Thank you for your trust, when I went to the West End to find you, you were willing to slow down and listen to my plans, and to be bold and adventurous in this journey, which was undoubtedly the most important turning point for the whole crew, and your performance made everything possible, otherwise it would have been just an empty shelf. It was you who made me realize what a good actor can change. ”

Lan Li did not answer, but gave Alfonso a round of applause with a smile, any excellent work is the result of coordination and cooperation between all links, and Alfonso's talent is the first and foremost contributor to "gravity".

"I still remember that on the first day of entering the crew, you stayed in the equipment for hours for the role, and finally caused dehydration and almost fainted, this professionalism ......" Alfonso said emotionally, slightly choked, as if recalling the many hardships and hardships during the filming, as well as the full dedication of the actors, his excitement also infected the audience, and the applause rang out again, paying tribute to Lan Li!

"You've earned the respect of everyone on the set!" Alfonso said sincerely, "At the same time, I would like to thank Rooney Mara for your dedication and dedication, even if you are not a heavy role, you are still unreservedly committed to it, and it is an honor to have you as a whole crew." ”

Then, after a series of Warner Bros. producers were thanked, Alfonso officially concluded his acceptance speech.

Immediately after, Alan reappeared on the stage and said with a smile on his face, "We did it! We're done! Now it's finally over, thank you for making me your host, I hope you are as happy as I am." ”

Wait, what?

The guests at the scene were already confused: this is the end? What is going on?

Alan looked back at the side stage, "What? No? This is not the end? Oh, there are still awards to be awarded? So, let's see you after the commercial." She also emphasized in the direction where Lan Li was, "Yes, advertising. ”
