Chapter 480: Breaking the Record
Don's award speech was just an interlude, and the ceremony continued.
Sharon Stone and John Travolta took the stage to present the award for Best Foreign Language Film for the film "Borderlands" in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
Barbra Streisand was the guest of honor and presented the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement to veteran filmmakers Sidney Poitier and Robert Rayford.
With the presentation of this award, it marks the end of the Oscar ceremony and the final climax!
The four most important awards are about to be announced-
Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Picture.
Through the remarks of the previous host and award presenters, a politically correct atmosphere of great unity has been created for this party, and even in order to set off this mood, there are fewer witticisms.
Many experienced industry insiders have basically seen it.
With Sidney Poitier's film credentials over the years and his Hollywood position, does he deserve the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement?
The biggest reason is that he's black!
He is the first black actor in Oscar history!
Coincidentally, there is also a black man on this year's list of actors.
Maybe...... This year will be the second black actor in Oscar history.
As for Best Actress, Halle Berry's voice is too low, and her acting skills are significantly inferior to those of the other actors nominated. If the Oscars are forcibly awarded to her for the sake of political correctness, I am afraid it will cause a lot of turmoil.
Candidates for Best Director: Donn Walker, "A Beautiful Mind", Robert Altman, "Gosford Manor", James Cameron, "Unsinkable", Peter Jackson, "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring", David Lynch, "Mulholland Drive".
David Lynch was the first to rule out that "Mulholland Drive" was too explicit;
Peter Jackson ruled out the second that "The Lord of the Rings 1: The Fellowship of the Ring" is only the first part of the trilogy;
Don is too young, Cameron's "Unsinkable" is a commercial film;
Only Robert Altman, who is the Golden Globe Award for Best Director this year, is probably also the favorite for the Oscar for Best Director!
As for the best picture, there should be no suspense - "A Beautiful Mind"!
Of course, all this is just speculation, depending on the results of the awards.
Russell Crowe, the last actor, took the stage with a big envelope and smiled, "In the past year, there have been many excellent actresses who have contributed outstanding performances, and the Oscars have given us an authoritative list of nominees, and they have given the best performances in the past year!
As the big screen behind him changed, names appeared, and Russell Crowe read them one by one: "Harry Berry, Renee Zellweger, Sissi Spicek, Judi Dench, and, of course, the amazing Natalie Portman." ”
Donn smiled slightly, Russell Crowe's words, although not obvious, showed his attitude, and in the whirlpool of public opinion between Donn and the Golden Globes, he recognized Natalie's acting skills.
Even bluntly said that the list of Oscar nominees is fair and authoritative.
"Don't be nervous. Don held Natalie's hand, a little chilly.
Natalie pouted, "I'm just not convinced!"
Don En smiled: "What do you say? The answer hasn't been revealed yet, how can you be sure that it wasn't you who won the award?"
"Are you stupid for me? Idiots know, I'm sure I'm not playing. Natalie pouted.
Tang En held her little hand in his hand, his eyes were firm, "We can grab other people's things, but no one can grab our things!"
"Huh?"
Natalie's beautiful eyes widened, and she felt that Don was weird, and there was something in her words.
At this time, the award presenter Russell Crowe had already opened the envelope, and a flower-like smile appeared on his face instantly.
That's right, like flowers!
It's like a blooming peony flower!
It doesn't match his tough guy image in "Gladiator" in the past!
Make people dance!
Distracting!
But it was such a creepy smile that made the guests all "chuckle" in their hearts.
It seems that something was premonited.
Something big is coming!
There are no Australian actresses on the shortlist.
The almost gaffe that can excite Russell Crowe can only have one result!
Natalie, who was sitting next to Donn, was already about to jump.
She was so smart, of course she could tell something from Russell Crowe's expression.
Sure enough, the next thing I heard Russell Crowe say something that shocked the audience: "The winner of the Best Actress is ...... Natalie Portman, Juno!"
Rumble!
The audience was in an uproar!
If Donne's acceptance speech 20 minutes ago surprised the guests, then Russell Crowe's words made everyone feel like they were returning to the Middle Ages!
Best Actress turned out to be Natalie Portman!
My God!
Something really happened!
Except for the four crews of "Unsinkable", "A Beautiful Mind", "Juno", and "Monster Electric Company", the rest of the guests present seemed to have seen ghosts and were stunned.
How so?
Everyone, there was a slight chill on their backs, and behind the shocked faces, there were bursts of fear.
The most incredible thing happened!
Prior to this, the youngest actress at the Oscars was Mary Matlin, the heroine of "Silent Love", who was disabled and starred in her true colors, and was 21 and a half years old when she won the award.
Natalie Portman has more than 2 months to go before she turns 21!
She will be the youngest actress in Oscar history!
It's not that everyone is against Natalie winning Best Actress, her acting skills in "Juno" are indeed wonderful.
But......
She's in a special environment right now, and she can't win an award!
She was not nominated for a Golden Globe, but she won the Oscar in one fell swoop.
Isn't this a clear telling the world that the Oscars want to stand up for Natalie, applaud Natalie's acting skills, and expose the scandals and dark box operations behind the Golden Globe Awards?
The battle between Donn and the Golden Globes, with the participation of the Oscars, will be overwhelming!
Hollywood insiders know that Kirk Douglass must be behind the scenes, preventing Natalie from winning the award.
Under the main theme of political correctness at this year's Oscars, common sense will definitely suppress "Juno", which is too radical and too feminine.
But under these many unfavorable factors, Don can push Natalie to the throne of the actress!
What terrifying strength is this?
Don is only 24 years old this year, and he already has such extraordinary influence, where is the boundary of his future? or ...... Is there a boundary?
The scene was silent for seven or eight seconds, and the warm applause in that impression gradually came.
Natalie was a little confused, and looked at Don stupidly, "I...... I've won a prize?"
"Fool. ”
Don kissed her, then took her hand and held it high, dignified like a king and queen who had been worshipped by his subjects.
The crew of "Juno" came over and high-fived Natalie, and the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" was equally excited.
It's normal, the two crews were originally a family.
Nicole Kidman walked over and hugged Natalie gently, "You deserve it, you're great!"
"Thank you. ”
"Congratulations, you're so good. ”
"Thank you. ”
"Congratulations. ”
"Thank you. ”
……
Kirk Douglas has long gotten a letter from within the Oscars that this year's awards must be in line with the general trend of the country and follow the main theme.
After Sidney Poitier, a black man, won the Academy Award for Lifetime Achievement, he became even more confident.
The first black man in history to win the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award has appeared, will the first black person in history to win an Oscar be far away?
Although Harry Berry's acting skills are not very good, she is black, this is her biggest guarantee!
Kirk Douglas leaned back on the couch and closed his eyes.
The award ceremony was too long, and he was too old to hold on.
Leaning on it, he took a nap.
It wasn't until he heard a particularly loud applause on the TV, the high-pitched screams of the ABC broadcastwoman, that Kirk Douglas was called again.
"Got the award?"
Kirk Douglas smiled slightly, rather proud.
In his opinion, the chanting of the hostess at the ABC broadcast scene is a representative of surprise.
Why be surprised?
It must be Harry Berry, a black actress, who won the award!
This is a record that broke the Oscars.
"Natalie! That's right, it's Natalie Portman, the star of "Juno", she became the best actress at the 74th Oscars! She broke the age record for an Oscar actress, she is the youngest actress in Oscar history! She has 77 years to turn 21, and she is even in college!"
"Last year, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with "The Soul Shifter", and a year later, she made a comeback and once again showed her acting skills to the fullest with "Juno!"
"There is no doubt that she is a representative of the young actors born in the 80s! After Kate Winslet, Don won another Oscar through his movie, yes, she is Natalie Portman!"
The biggest difference between watching the Oscars in front of the TV and watching it live is that there is a host to explain the live content.
But the hostess's words directly made Kirk Douglas stand up from the sofa, staring at the TV screen with his eyes, and his face was as pale as death.
ABC's broadcast footage has been following Natalie, live streaming the whole process of her slowly walking onto the podium.
Kirk Douglas is stupid, completely stupid!
He figured it out, and that's right!
This year's Oscar actress turned out to be really Natalie Portman!
"How...... How could this be...... So?"
Kirk Douglas couldn't believe that the Oscars really broke a record, not a record for a black actress, but a record for the youngest actress!
He vowed to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association group that Natalie would never win the prize.
Outcome...... It was as if he had been slapped dozens of times on his face, and his whole body trembled with pain!
"Ahh
Kirk Douglas clutched his chest in pain, leaned back, and collapsed on the couch...... ()
