Chapter 463: The Best Director Winner ......
"Here are the nominees for Best Original Screenplay......"
On the Oscar stage of the Kodak Theater, Uma Thurman, dressed in a backless pale orange evening dress, was tall and charming, and she read: "Joss Whedon and Wang Yang, "Firefly"; With her words, the image of "Firefly" appeared in the middle of the big screen, Captain Marr and others walked in a quiet valley full of plum blossoms, with the words Firefly written on it, and the former bald and fat Wedon and Wang Yangcheng pursed his lips and smiled were displayed in black and white on the right.
"Ahhh
Uma Thurman continues reading: "George Clooney and Grant Heathlove, Good Night, Good Luck;" The screen flashed with dazzling light, the title, the image, and the nominee all changed, the applause suddenly subsided, there were no screams and shouts, and the Kodak Theater suddenly fell silent, as if there were not even a hundred people in front of the stage, and then the audience realized how high the atmosphere was just now.
"Woody Allen, 'The End of the Game';" The little old man with bitter glasses appeared, and the applause was even more scarce, and he did not attend as always; "Noah Baumbach, "The Squid and the Whale"; Quite stylish Jews appeared, and there was not much applause, but a few shouts, probably by happy relatives and friends; The applause was lazy at first, and then the audience erupted, but it was because Thurman had finished reading the list.
From the perspective of the atmosphere of the scene, it is natural that there are more supporters of "Firefly", this situation still happens in front of the TV and on the Internet, but few media dare to "award" this award to it, science fiction films and academic literary films are hard-hitting, after all, there is too much unpredictability, fantasy has (1990 "Human Ghost Love"), and there has never been a science fiction movie to get the best original screenplay!
Originally, or another world, the 78th award was taken away by "Crash", because of the change, "Crash" won the award in the 77th last year, and the unprecedented sci-fi film "The Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Heart" was eliminated, but in fact, "ESOT**" and "Ghost Love" are both love dramas, which are completely different from the sci-fi significance of "Firefly".
However, as we all know, the film critics praised the script of "Firefly" very much, "Whedon and Wang Yang are a perfect combination", its story content, character lines, world setting, connotation and meaning are all wonderful and interesting, novel and profound, which is why it creates suspense.
"It's ...... who won the Oscar" Uma Thurman tilted her head and opened the envelope in her hand, since this year's Writers Guild Awards will not be held until March 9, so the hot and unpopular of this award are all confusing situations, who will it be?
"Firefly"!" The audience in front of the TV shouted loudly, Arden Kohler, Squill Kohler shouted the names of Dad and Uncle Young, and the children such as the Pfisters and the Smiths were also supporting Uncle Young, and Keke seemed to feel a sense of quietness; ”
Seeing Thurman looking at the envelope, the audience was silent, and the hands of thousands of guests were just waiting for the result, Wang Yang's heart couldn't help but clench tightly, can Firefly break the historical fate of science fiction films? Jessica was already unconsciously next to him, silently praying quickly: "Lord, Lord! Lord......
The Joss Wheddons were even more nervous with beads of sweat on their necks, as a family of screenwriters, if they could go home with an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay, what a great honor and what a great pride! Heath Ledger, Robert Downey Jr., Will Smith...... There were also a group of beautiful women who held their breath only to see Uma Thurman raise her head and read the result with a smile, much to their disappointment.
George Clooney and Grant Hislov, Good Night, Good Luck ”
No matter who won the award, the audience would immediately sound a burst of warm congratulations, Clooney and Hislov hugged each other in surprise, and got up from their seats and happily hugged others to celebrate, defeating the most popular "Firefly"!
In fact, Wang Yang's fist slammed the chair hard before he got up and clapped his hands, while Whedon took a deep breath sharply, a big drop of sweat fell from his bald forehead, and like Best Supporting Actor, the work and effort that should have been done have been done to the best, but most of the judges chose other films, there was no way.
Kay Kohler smiled and showed a row of clean teeth, and Jessica just smiled, trying her best to control her emotions, not gritting her teeth or growling, she knew! She knew that the Oscars were like this, high popularity does not mean that you can win the award, and if you work hard, it does not mean that you can win the award, there are losses and wins, this is just an award, respect the result, and the joy of victory is meaningful, but "Firefly" and Jan did not win the award, very disappointed...... "Did you make a mistake!! is not only very disappointed, it is simply maddening! Natalie wants to be Eve and blow up the stage, she can't find dimples on Rachel's face, Hathaway, Scarlett and others feel very sad that things really seem to be moving towards the "Star Wars tragedy"!
Tom Whedon (Joss's father), Samuel Wheddon, Matthew Whitton, Jade Wheedon, Zach Weddon (half-brother), Lee Stearns (Jos's mother, divorced Tom), the whole Weddon family sighed and cursed, Joss almost won the Oscar! The living room was filled with a sense of loss, the family was silent for a while, and they didn't know what to say, Joshua shrugged helplessly and said to Keke: " It's not your dad. Infected by the sad atmosphere, Keke pursed her small mouth, her big eyes quickly fogged, and she was about to cry.
In addition to the joy of the blacks, most of the fans seem to have lost something valuable, pity, irritation, anger, etc., perhaps only F-ORD can describe their current mood: "FUCK!!" Although George Clooney is not low in popularity and is popular with female audiences, but now suddenly, he is the most annoying among young female audiences, and this guy has ruined the stage of Heath Ledger and Fantastic Young one after another...... It should be "Firefly" to win the award!!
"Best Original Screenplay went to Good Night, Good Luck, Firefly didn't make history, it's a shame. In the Sina graphic live broadcast room, the host Zeng Zihang updated this line of text, and the guest Cheng Qingsong said: "Many fans can't accept this result, and they all ask where did "Firefly" lose? . ”…… Who knows! Sci-fi films are as embarrassing as bastards. However, the world's optimistic intergalactic cowboys turned to think that the Oscars sometimes appear "egalitarian", since the original screenplay belongs to the popular "Good Night, Good Luck", then "Firefly" may be able to win the best director, or the best picture! It's a pity that "Firefly" has lost the opportunity to win 12 awards to break the Oscar record (9/12), of course, not many people really have expectations, and the 11 awards with a flat record are very good.
The night is getting thicker and thicker, the awards ceremony continues, and under the bursts of warm applause, the best actor and best actress who lack suspense are announced one after another, and the judges continue the choice of the Golden Globe Awards.
"Thank you to the Academy of Arts and Sciences, the artist's responsibility is to find light when humanity is plunged into the long night of darkness, thank you Anne, Heath, Jack, Michelle, they are there, thank you for believing that we can write this story, thank you Ang Lee, and our amazing members for your support, thank you Flame Films, thank you Wang Yang for trusting us, you have made us a wonderful journey to make our dreams come true, and my dear friend......"
The hit "Brokeback Mountain" finally won its first trophy tonight, Best Adapted Screenplay, and on the spacious stage, Diana Oshana calmly recited the thank-you note, inadvertently sighing to reveal her nervousness, and then the old man Larry McMurtree also thanked the people to thank him.
"You know when I saw Brokeback Mountain win Best Adapted Screenplay, I couldn't help but say to myself, I didn't even know we could wear jeans. On the side of the stage, Jon Stewart pressed his hands against the host's glass podium, looking embarrassed and matching funny words, causing the audience to laugh, Stewart continued to pretend to be silly: "I finally know, if I come to host the Oscars next time, I will wear suspender jeans, I am so excited now......"
The live camera swept over, and I saw Heath Ledger and Jake Gyllenhaal all smiling.
Stewart, who was once suspected of being gay, is not really gay, and he and his wife, Tracy, have two children. In fact, Stewart didn't do well tonight, and after a great opening show, he struggled to improvise and have any hilarious quips. As if he can't be blamed, Stewart's talk show is mainly political satire, news spoofs, and the style is full of thorns, but when he stands in the Oscar hall full of sensitivity and seriousness, and is explicitly forbidden by producer Jill Kates to make the ceremony a political show, his humor is difficult to play.
So Stewart's feelings for Wang Yang are more complicated, if the "guest host" comes to the stage and makes another effort, he will be scolded miserably in tomorrow's media comments, but he will not curse Wang Yang for losing the election, after all, Wang Yang is a very good young man. As the evening drew to a close, Stewart was getting more and more nervous, and he smiled: "Our next award presenter can allow us to hit his head with the violin, we have to respect him, and we have two-time Oscar winner Tom Hanks!"
Thunderous applause, light music sounded, and Tom Hanks, who was in charge of awarding the best director, wore a black suit and gray tie, and he walked out of the backstage with an envelope!
The live camera swept to the guest seats on the stage, and Wang Yang, Ang Lee, Spielberg and others were applauding.
"It's time to award the best director!!" The news spread all over the world in various ways such as the Internet, telephone, and shouting, and audiences across the United States quickly converged on ABC Channel, and the number of viewers skyrocketed! All the people who cared about Magic Yang once again entered a state of tension! Children and many female Yang fans were screaming non-stop, "Forrest Gump" Tom Hanks is a person who brought good luck to Wang Yang, and he handed over the Golden Globe Award for Best Director to Wang Yang in "District 9" three years ago, this time it was the Oscar!
Hundreds of millions of human beings are paying attention, and some Internet forums, chat rooms and other places have been swiped by users who have been swiped by Yang and blackmailed users: "Support Magic Yang!", "It must be Wang Yang!!", "Wang Yang will cry and go back, it's not him!", "Support Magic Yang!!", ...... "The award I want to present now is the Best Director Award, and the four nominated directors have all chosen films of great social significance this year, and one has chosen the society in the next 500 years," Rao was such a tense and serious decisive moment, the audience burst into laughter, Wang Yang, who was on camera again, smiled and leaned on Joss Whedon, Hanks couldn't help but smile, and then said seriously: "Come to arouse our thinking, and at the same time entertain our audience." The nominee for Best Director was ......"
Accompanied by the sound of leisurely and soft music, the entire screen of the Kodak Theater and the TV screen watched by the global audience flashed a little dazzling light, Hanks introduced: ""Brokeback Mountain, Ang Lee;", the screen showed the image of Ang Lee wearing a cowboy straw hat stretching out his hand to direct the film crew on the set, and a round of applause suddenly rang out; "Capote, Bennett Miller;" Miller squinted his left eye, his right eye was on the camera viewfinder, and there was not much applause, but there were groups of relatives and friends chanting and whistling; "Firefly, Wang Yang;"
I saw that the set on the screen was a verdant grassland, Wang Yang, wearing a windbreaker and jeans, was standing next to a group of herding cattle, looking at them, making hand movements with both hands, and saying something with his mouth, as if teaching them how to move and perform, and there were several crew members next to him.
"Whew-", "Wow!!", "Whoosh-" The Kodak Theater immediately boiled, and the applause suddenly became deafening, which was very different from when Wang Yang was introduced to the nomination three years ago, when there were almost only relatives and friends of "District 9", and now they are all over the audience, and the decibel has refreshed the highest number of nominees tonight! The excited Yang fans are not afraid of offending several other nominees at all, and they have enough reasons to fully support him!
"Take the second Oscar for Best Director! Amazing Young!!Once at the age of 23, again at the age of 26!" Natalie clapped her palms vigorously, afraid that the momentum would not go up, but at the same time she was interested, what was he doing at the time? "Tell the cow"? Why can't you see this tidbit on the DVD of "Firefly"? Do you have to keep it for the "Forever Treasured Edition"? What a cunning profiteer! "Young, you will always be my best director." Rachel laughed and clapped her hands vigorously, "Come on, Jan!!" Scarlett, Heath Ledger, Will Smith, Robert Downey Jr., and others all clapped wildly...... "Young, you're so cool." Jessica had a big smile on her face, her eyes were open, and she was really smiling brightly tonight, just because she was very proud, happy and happy...... "Thank you." Wang Yang smiled, he remembered this moment three years ago very clearly, she also said the same, next time, she will do the same.
Lord, Lord, Lord! She clapped her palms in pain, and while she kept praying sincerely, she suddenly closed her palms and stopped.
"Good night, good luck, George Clooney;" Clooney in glasses sat at his desk sorting out papers, the applause suddenly subsided again, like a blackout; Spielberg, who wore small round-rimmed glasses, held a viewfinder and looked at something, and suddenly turned back to talk to the crew, and the applause continued to be low.
After the introduction, the applause immediately stopped completely, and the audience was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, Tom Hanks opened the envelope and said: "It is ...... who won the Oscar"
The screen is divided into six grids, Hanks is in the lower right corner, Ang Lee in the upper left corner is smiling shyly, looking light, or stiff; Bennett-Miller in the middle is looking at the direction of the stage with a calm face; Wang Yang in the upper right corner is naturally grinning slightly, but there is not much smile; Clooney in the lower left corner is smiling unchanged, but his clasped fingers are swinging, and small movements reveal his inner emotions; Spielberg is the most serious and can't see any smile.
Although Hanks moved quickly, time seemed to stand still, and the ceremony hall was silent before the storm, who could it be!?
"Uncle Young, Uncle Young!!" The children in front of the TV shouted loudly, "Amazing Young, Amazing Young!!" Fans also shouted, "Director!!" All the crew members of "Firefly" clenched their fists, "Please......" Joshua stiffened his face, Wang's father, Wang's mother, Mark, Cathy and others looked at the TV screen intently, the young people in the upper right corner, they didn't know, Jessica was so nervous that she was about to faint, and Keke blinked her big eyes due to the atmosphere.
If there is a huge screen, divided into countless grids, and everyone is listed in it, you can see that everyone is so nervous, or frowning, or smiling, or serious, or calm, or bowing their heads, or closing their eyes...... "......" Tom Hanks looked at the results on the envelope, and saw that it was written there...... , he looked up and pronounced the name.
