Chapter 507: Everything is just beginning
"One of them proved himself to be a good man, another to prove himself to be a bad one, and another was a diamond smuggler full of contradictions, a brutal military dictator and a lust-obsessed old man. Each role is a challenge, yet each role is vividly interpreted in the film by a brilliant male lead. Here is the shortlist for Best Actor: Leonardo DiCaprio, "Blood Diamond";
The TV screen was a highlight clip from "Blood Diamond", the Kodak Theater was filled with sparse applause, Leonardo, with shiny hair smiling at the camera, and Witherspoon on stage continued to read: "Heath Ledger, the Dead;" The big screen behind her lit up a conversation between "Billy" and the psychiatrist, when the camera turned to the smiling Ledger, Wang Yang, who also entered the camera next to him, clapped his hands violently, and the audience applauded, tonight's biggest favorite, the person who may set a new record for the youngest Oscar for Best Actor.
"Peter Otto, 'Eros at the End';" A loud applause erupted, Otto's wrinkled old face was expressionless, the old man was the actor with the most nominations (not including previous awards, 0/8 times), if he had won the award for the first time at the age of 74, he would have set the second oldest record (the record holder was 76-year-old Henry Fonda), maybe he would have liked to win the award, maybe it didn't matter, no one knew.
"Michael Pitt, 'The Dead'; There was another loud round of applause, Michael smiled, and Wang Yang, who also entered the camera next to him, clapped his hands violently; "Forest Whitaker, "The Last Dictatorship." Loud applause erupted, Whitaker smiled kindly, without the style of Amin in "The Last Dictatorship", and if he wins, he will become the fourth black actor after Sidney Poitier, Will Smith and Jamie Fox.
The applause gradually stopped, and the big screen on the scene handsomely listed the character posters of the five people from left to right, and then turned into a live shot, and the quiet Kodak Theater was full of tension, and everyone saw Witherspoon open the envelope and read: "The winner is ...... Heath Ledger, "The Dead". ”
"Wow-", "Whew-" The Kodak Theater suddenly fell into a boil, the applause and shouts were undulating, and the camera zoomed in on the situation in the second frame, and the smiling Ledger had already hugged Wang Yang, Michelle Williams, Michael Pitt, the two laughed and said something, Ledger walked in the direction of the stage, Wang Yang whistled, and Jessica and others next to him were laughing and applauding.
After Jeffrey Rush, another Australian actor, and the youngest Oscar for Best Actor! Ledger broke Adrien Broady's record of 29 years old in one fell swoop, writing a new history at the age of 27 years and 10 and a half months! This is also the second Oscar winner to come out of the film directed by Wang Yang.
"Heath Ledger is a three-time Oscar nominee, a one-time winner, and the youngest Oscar for Best Actor. The narrator of the ceremony briefly introduced Ledger's qualifications, and the applause did not stop.
The audience of Yang fans and Ledger fans in front of the TV are all very excited, and finally won the Oscar! Ledger won the award because of the miraculous "Billy", and last year's "Ennis" and "Blue Glove" also attracted him key popularity, of course, it is inseparable from the strong financial investment and operational ability of the flame movie, in any case, this Australian man has achieved a new legend.
"Wow, uh, thank you!" Heath Ledger took the little golden man from Witherspoon's hand, and he was so overwhelmed that he couldn't speak at all, and he couldn't believe it! Although someone suggested that he read and write a good testimonial, he didn't want to do such an uncool thing, but now he was really speechless! In front of the eyes of thousands of people, he almost wanted to go directly to the backstage, looked at the people on the other side of "The Dead", he settled his mind, adjusted his mood, and slowly began to thank.
"Uh, thank you! I love acting, when I was a kid...... I can't think of today, I'm standing here, and I really want to thank Flame Films, they gave me a lot of roles that every actor dreams of, thank you, the Academy, thank you Hong Kong movie "Infernal Affairs", they wrote such a good story, thank you to everyone on the crew of "The Dead", you guys are so good, Young, Michael, Jack Nicholson, ......"
Under Luo Luo's verbosity, Hiss didn't say anything touching, but he did thank many people, he looked down at the trophy, and said: "I really want to thank Wang Yang, thank you Wang Yang!" The live broadcast camera gave the grinning Wang Yang in the audience, Hiss said: "I can't say clearly how much I thank and admire you, I still want to cooperate with you for ten or twenty years...... For a lifetime, thank you!" he held up the little golden figure and finally said: "Thank you to my fiancée Michelle, my daughter Matilda, my sister and my family, I love you!"
"Whew!!" bursts of thunderous applause rang out in the Kodak Theater, Michelle on the TV screen had tears in her eyes, Wang Yang and Jessica were clapping and laughing at something.
This is really an exciting scene for fans and fans, the youngest Oscar Best Director at the age of 27, the youngest Oscar Best Actor at the age of 28, there is no doubt that everything has just begun, 37 years old and 47 years old will be in their prime, and they still have a long, long way to go.
As Heath Ledger walked backstage to the ceremony, it was immediately the award of the best director, and the audience thundered and applauded, 67-year-old Francis Ford Coppola, 62-year-old George Lucas, and 60-year-old Steven Spielberg walked out of the right side of the stage one after another, and the three legendary directors joined forces to present the awards!
The three of them are known as the four major Hollywood directors of the 80s along with the 64-year-old Martin Scorsese, of course, they were still "movie kids" at that time, in fact, everyone knows who the winner of the director award tonight will be, not Pokémon Wang Yang, not Finch, Freres, Iñárritu, but Martin Sr.
The three directors came to stand in front of the microphone, and when the applause stopped, Coppola on the left said calmly: "The three of us are standing on the stage today because we know very well what kind of excitement we are like when we win the award. Spielberg, who was holding the envelope on the right, seriously agreed: "Yes, it was the best moment of my life." At this time, Lucas in the middle frowned slightly, and looked at the two of them left and right with a puzzled expression, "Hey guys, I have never won this award." ”
"Hahaha!" The Kodak Theater burst into laughter, looking at Lucas's stupid appearance, many people couldn't stop laughing, Coppola won Best Director once (1/4), Spielberg twice (2/6), Lucas was nominated twice (0/2), and in order to show respect, the laughter quickly stopped.
Coppola and Spielberg looked at him inexplicably, Spielberg asked, "Then what are you doing up here?" The audience laughed again, and Lucas shrugged, "Well, I don't know, people don't watch Star Wars anymore." Spielberg said, "I don't watch 'The Godfather' either." Colapo said, "I don't watch "either." In the burst of laughter, the live broadcast camera quickly swept to the popular Wang Yang.
was teased by the three legendary directors, maybe the Pokémon didn't know what expression to make, he just smiled.
Of course, the three old men's sour words are also a kind of self-joking and dissatisfaction with the academy, the science fiction film and the most classic "Godfather 1" did not get it, and Martin did not get it for so long. The protagonist tonight is naturally Martin Scorsese, and the camera immediately swept over him, but he had a very serious and calm expression.
"Well, that's probably two of us who know very well how excited we are when we win. Lucas was about to say something, but Coppola interrupted the infighting, and Spielberg on the right pointed at him and nodded at himself. Lucas looked innocent and said, "I mean, it's too much to reap and give." The two directors glanced at each other, leaned into the microphone and said loudly: "No, that's weird!"
"Haha!" The guests laughed again, and the three who had re-established ended the joke, and Coppola began to read: "Here is the list of nominees, "Babel", Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárrido, "Blood Diamond", Martin Scorsese;" As they announced, the camera focused directly on the nominee, and Martin Sr. finally smiled, "The Dead, Wang Yang", "The Fantastic Director", David Fincher, "The Queen", Stephen Freis. ”
Spielberg slowly opened the envelope, he suddenly looked up a few times, and said while walking to the middle: "Go away!" Lucas aggrievedly gave up his position, and couldn't help laughing; in the laughter, Spielberg came to the middle position, he opened the envelope and looked at it, and said with a smile: "It was Martin Scorsese who won the Oscar!" Before the words fell, the two big directors next to him applauded happily, and the audience fell into a boil, old Martin stood up calmly, and his wife, colleagues, and "Blood Diamond" around him Other nominees and others face up, shake hands, hug, and ......
Martin Scorsese's Oscar path began in 1956 when he attended a seminary, and he has since poured his passion into film. ”
The audience gave a standing ovation, and Martin Sr. finally won the long-awaited Oscar for Best Director. Wang Yang and several other unsuccessful candidates were also clapping their hands and sending sincere congratulations,
Scorsese, who walked on the stage, hugged his three old friends one by one, took the little golden man from Spielberg's hand as if he had received a treasure, turned around and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, calm down, PLEASE, PLEASE! Thank you, can you check the envelope again?" A happy smile appeared on his wrinkled old face, and he paused and said: "I am very excited to receive this award today, and the award was given to my good friend for 37 years, I feel honored and moved......
After thanking a lot of people and Warner Bros., Martin Sr. walked to the backstage passage amid applause, followed by Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton appearing to present Best Picture, and "The Dead" beat "Babel", "Little Sunshine Beauty" and other films to win the 79th Academy Award for Best Picture!
