Chapter 437: Whose Family Is the Flower?

On December 30, the 3rd African American Film Critics Association Awards were announced, and the fourth "Brokeback Mountain" and the seventh "Firefly" were both selected as the top 10 films of the year, and the first "Bustling River" won the best picture. On January 3, the results of the 40th Kansas City Film Critics Awards (KCFCC) were announced, and Hoffman and Witherspoon won the best actor/actress again, "Munich Tragedy" won Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, and "Good Night, Good Luck" won the best original screenplay, and the flame film lost Kansas City.

On January 7, the results of the 40th National Film Critics Association Awards (NSFCA) were announced, Best Picture: No. 1 "Carterbo", No. 2 "A History of Violence", No. 3 "2046", Best Director: No. 1 David Cronenberg, "A History of Violence", No. 2 Wong Kar-wai, "2046", No. 3 Bennett Miller, "Capote", Hoffman and Witherspoon won Best Actor/Actress again, and the Fire Movie went home empty-handed. On January 8, the second St. Louis Film Critics Association Awards (SLGFCA) were awarded, and FF made a comeback, "Brokeback Mountain" took home Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor, "Firefly" won Best Cinematography/Visual Effects, and "500 Days with Sammo" also had Best Animation/Musical/Comedy Film. …… So far in this year's awards season, the hottest candidates for actors/actresses have surfaced, but the situation of best picture and best director is still confusing.

Wang Yang has won β˜…LAFCA, β˜… Golden Satellite, NYFCO, SFFCC, PFCS, TFCA and other director awards, Ang Lee has β˜…NBR, β˜…NYFCC, BSFC, D-FFC, LVFCS, SEFCA, FFCC, SLGFCA and other awards, and Steven Spielberg has also quietly held AFCA, KCFCC and other trophies in his hands, and seems to be a spoiler who can cause an upset at any time.

But in fact, among the nearly 180 film critics association awards, most of them are small fish and shrimp, and although the BFCA (Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards) has only a short history of 11 years, it is much younger than the two major towns of LAFCA and NYFCC, which held the 31st session and the 71st session of the NYFCC, its "Oscar match" is the highest in recent years, and the BFCA has become the most accurate and forward-looking Oscar vane in the world, and the NBR and the Golden Globe Awards are called the three major Oscar outposts.

Other Film Critics Association Awards have nothing to do with the overall situation, the BFCA determines the odds of this year's Oscars, Ang Lee has already won the NBR, if he wins the BFCA again, then the direction of the Golden Globes and the Oscars will undoubtedly become clearer, so the eyes of media fans are focused on the upcoming BFCA!

After the happy New Year's holiday, Wang Yang returned to work, busy with the preparation of new films such as "I Am Legend", and attended the ceremony activities of the awards season.

"Dingling, dingling......" In the baby's room, looking at the night outside the window, Wang Yang yawned, continued to coax his daughter in his arms to sleep, and sang with a smile: "Jingle bells, how happy is skiing tonight, we sit on the sled......"

On the night of January 9, the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium was star-studded, and although the BFCA Awards Ceremony was not broadcast live on TV, it was only recorded and broadcast on the paid entertainment channel "E!", but due to its status and attention, there were many big-name nominees and award presenters who came to cheer, including Mr. and Mrs. Wang Yang, Hoffman, Mr. and Mrs. Ledger, Russell Crowe, Witherspoon, Natalie Portman, Keira Knightley, Charlize Theron, Ang Lee, George Clooney, Big Fanning, Little Collo...... This has put the camera equipment of the media reporters on the verge of exploding.

"Best Young Actor is...... Freddie Hemmer, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!"

The BFCA Awards ceremony was also held in the form of a gala dinner, and amid bursts of laughter, applause and thanks, the lively ballroom presented awards one after another, Best Supporting Actor: Paul Giamati, "Iron Fist Man", Best Supporting Actress: Amy Adams, "June Bug", Michelle Williams, "Brokeback Mountain", "Hustle & Flo", "Hustle & Flo", "The River", ...... The best young actress was won by Chloe Moretz, who beat Dakota Fanning, Emma Watson, Georgie Henry and others in a small upset with her stunning performance in "500 Days with Sammo".

"Ghost Record 3", "Firefly", "500 Days", Xiao Kolo is a super popular child star selected and promoted by Wang Yang, and treats her very kindly, there is no doubt that her big brother will not be missing in her thank you list.

"Thank you Magic Jan. Little Chloe and his brother Tevo Duke Moretz came to the stage to accept the award together, and were looked at by countless pairs of eyes from the audience, compared to being happy and happy, little Chloe felt more nervous and scared, after thanking her parents and family, she couldn't even memorize the manuscript prepared in advance, and even worse was stuck here in Magic Young! Whether it was the orders of the adults or her own wishes, Magic Young was a very important person, she said: "He ...... Very fun, very nice, very cool......"

The civic auditorium suddenly burst into laughter, and Wang Yang and Jessica also applauded with laughter, amused by Little Colo's words. After thanking the unfortunate Taiwo endorsement, the little Kolo brothers and sisters walked off the stage amid the warm applause of the audience.

The award for Best Soundtrack went to "Walking with the Song", followed by Best Soundtrack: Hans Zimmer, Jenn Kezmerik, "The Firefly", Best Screenplay: Larry McMurtry, Diana Shanna, "Brokeback Mountain", "Best TV Movie": "The West", "The Chronicles of Narnia", "The Chronicles of the Emperor Penguin", "The Emperor Penguin" Best Animated Feature: "Super Invincible: The Curse of the Human Rabbit", "Best Foreign Language Film": "Kung Fu", China/Hong Kong.

Philip Seymour Hoffman and Reese Witherspoon were successfully crowned Best Actor/Actress, and the two almost heralded "must win the Oscar......"; Wang Yang knew her mood very well, he silently held her hand, his thumb gently rubbed her palm, she was excited for this award for several days, and prepared a funny thank you draft early, but now her wish has been disappointed.

After "40-year-old virgin" beat "Wedding Guest" and "500 Days with Sammo" to win Best Comedy Film, there are only two awards left to be announced at tonight's awards ceremony, Best Director and Best Film.

"Whew!" Under the applause and cheers, the award presenter Charlize Theron walked out of the side of the small stage with an envelope, she was wearing a white off-the-shoulder evening dress, her steps were graceful, her smile was charming and beautiful, she came to the microphone in the center of the stage, and said with a smile: "The next is the Best Director Award, the six nominees have had the best performance in the past year, pointing out the direction for the whole crew, they are George Clooney, "Good Night, Good Luck", Ron Howard, "Iron Fist Man", Peter Jackson, " King Kong, Ann Lee, Brokeback Mountain, Steven Spielberg, Munich, and ......"

Every time she pronounced a name, the banquet hall burst into applause, and she smiled at the end: "Yang-Wang, Firefly." The audience immediately burst into thunderous applause, and the soaring decibels set a new record for tonight's nominees, many people looked at Wang Yang with a smile on their faces, and Natalie prayerfully recited a few words "Yang, Young!" Everyone didn't want the BFCA to judge a tie for the award, and Charlize Theron didn't want to, she wanted the magic Young to win the award, but she hoped that she could bring luck.

Among the six people present today are George Clooney, Ang Lee, Spielberg and Wang Yang, at this time the four have different expressions, all three of them are gentle smiles, only Wang Yang grinned as if he thought of something funny, BFCA Director Award, who is this important Oscar vane?

"The winner of the best director is ......" Charlize Theron opened the envelope in his hand, a little nervous in his heart, and so did everyone in the audience, not to mention that Jessica felt that time had stood still, Natalie held her breath, only to see Charlize glance at the envelope, and her face suddenly bloomed with a more charming and gorgeous smile, and shouted loudly: "YOUNG-ANG!" ”

"OO-" The whole banquet hall was boiling! Jessica YEAH shouted in a lost voice, her face flushed with excitement, and she just shouted: "Yang!! It's youβ€”β€”!!" Wang Yang had already hugged her and kissed her on the cheek. Everyone around applauded and congratulated, and Natalie, who was not far away, stood up and applauded happily and shouted: "Yang, congratulations!!" Then everyone stood up in unison, and Clooney, Ang Lee and others also did not hesitate to praise and congratulate the applause, Magic Yang and "Firefly" are definitely worthy of this glory!

"Thank you. Wang Yang smiled and thanked everyone around him a few times, walked on the stage with a little brisk footsteps, and was in a good mood to win the award, but after winning the BFCA, he felt that the situation at this year's Oscars was becoming more complicated, but whatever, now is the time to celebrate! Wang Yang came to the center of the stage, hugged Charlize Theron gently, and saw that she took the initiative to stretch out her neck and turn her face, so he kissed her on the cheek, Charlize exclaimed: "Young, congratulations! "Firefly" is amazing. ”

Wang Yang took the crystal trophy from her hand, and after a few words of thanks, he came to the microphone, looked at the people sitting in front of him, raised the trophy, and said with a smile: "Thank you, thank you! ”

"Haha!" The banquet hall burst into laughter, and everyone laughed or smiled, even the children such as Big Fanning, Little Coloe, and Watson were all smiles on their faces, and the joy of the best director with the greatest humor in history became more and more serious. Tonight's winners all walked off the stage after thanking each other, but the new best director was still full of personality "magic young style", almost completely unexcited, and then said that the thanks were hilarious talk shows.

At this time, everyone was interested, there was no need to control the duration of this ceremony harshly tonight, he wanted to say that no one stopped him for ten minutes, and saw Wang Yang smile and said: "I didn't get this award three years ago, but I got it this year...... What does this mean?"

Wang Yang's questioning words and expressions made everyone at the banquet table laugh, and there was scattered applause, and he continued: "I think I understand what it means, in fact they invited me to present the award, but I resolutely said 'NO!', how smart, they want me to pull the ratings, so ...... Thank you for your support to me!" In the laughter of everyone, Wang Yang suddenly glanced around, only Charlize Theron, who had a lovely smile, and he came to his senses and said: "No live broadcast?" OK, then what nonsense am I talking about?"

"Hahaha!" Seeing him make a gesture of leaving, everyone's laughter suddenly erupted, followed by a burst of applause with cheers: "Huhu-"

"I'm sorry, I'm so nervous, so happy, and a little incoherent...... Look at my face. Wang Yang pointed to his cheek, grinned slowly, and said to everyone: "You can see my expression in the delivery room, right?" The doctor was very angry, she said, 'What are you laughing at?' I said, 'I'm sorry, when I'm nervous, that's how it looks.' A burst of laughter followed, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams exchanged laughter, Jessica looked up and smiled, and immediately heard him laugh again: "And at that time my baby girl was about to be born, I was really happy, I love her." ”

The crowd immediately sent a round of congratulatory applause, Natalie couldn't help but give him a thumbs up, and Keira Knightley next to him sighed and longed, when will she have the opportunity to work with Wonder Young?

"Let's talk about it first, if I'm so nervous that I suddenly faint, who will give me artificial respiration?" Jessica Alba?" Wang Yang glanced at his wife who was at the nearest banquet table in the audience, and shook his head with a frown: "NO." Everyone opened their mouths while waiting for the joke to come, what did he want to say? Charlize and some others couldn't help but laugh out loud, and Wang Yang suddenly said, "George Clooney! ”

"Hahaha!", "Ahaha!" The unexpected crowd was immediately amused and laughed, George Clooney's wrinkled face was also shocked and laughed, and many people cheered: "Whew!!" Everyone knows that Clooney's famous work is the NBC series "ER's Story", and he is of course an emergency doctor.

"George Clooney was there. Wang Yang looked in a direction under the lookout, and his smile quickly turned into a complaint: "Everyone knows my plane accident last year, right? If there was George Clooney on the plane at that time, would I still be in a coma for a week? No, every plane should be equipped with a George Clooney!" Under the laughter of the crowd, Wang Yang made hand movements and continued to frown: "If every news media had George Clooney, the box office of "Firefly" would be 2 billion now, "Wang Yang is critically ill"? No! "Wang Yang is 99% dead". ”

"Haha......" Everyone found that they couldn't stop laughing, even Ang Lee and Spielberg, who had been smiling gently, couldn't help grinning, Jessica, who was extremely sad before, and Natalie, who couldn't sleep well, were almost choked by saliva, Wang Yang died 99%? This guy is really ...... Naturally, this is a joke about the biopic "Good Night, Good Luck" by legendary journalist and announcer Edward R. Morrow, whose father was a news anchor and whose mother was a television station employee, also served as a host. Clooney, who was made a joke, smiled, and many people hoped that they would be teased by Wang Yang, who would be angry? It was funny and not malicious, and it would be too stingy to think it was sarcasm.

"Keeping 1% is just in the spirit of humanitarianism, but it's actually 99.9%. Wang Yang shook his head and sighed: "Why is there only one George Clooney, it's so unfair." He winked in the direction of Clooney in the audience and said with a smile: "He's smiling at me, but everyone pay attention, even if Clooney gives me artificial respiration, it doesn't mean that we are gay, we are not, you know that if another fat boy comes in, we are the live-action version of "Two and a Half Heroes". ”

"Hahaha-" The banquet hall burst into laughter again, many people laughed out of grace, Natalie couldn't help but applaud, it turned out that this sentence was KO! Wang Yang suddenly said: "Heath Ledger, it feels good, right?" Ledger and his wife were immediately surrounded by everyone's laughter, and Heath Ledger smiled a little shyly.

"Heath Ledger is a very good actor. Wang Yang began to thank him seriously, and he said seriously: "This is one of the reasons why "Firefly" was a big success and I won this award, we have a group of great actors! Robert Downey Jr., Daniel Wu, Michael Pitt, Alan Pegg, ......" He quickly counted the leading actors, and finally smiled: "And Jessica Alba, I can't even think of any suitable words to praise your performance, maybe 'I seem to see a golden future'." IT'S NOT A GOLDEN RASPBERRY, WHICH I SAW WITH ANOTHER ACTOR, YOUNG-ANG. ”

The civic auditorium continued to echo with the chuckles of the crowd, and listening to his words, Jessica only felt extremely happy and satisfied, with his praise and recognition, what better recognition?

"And Joss Whedon and Valley Pfister behind the scenes......" Wang Yang continued to read the names of many people, he raised the trophy in his hand, and said: "Thank you to everyone who has worked hard for "Firefly", without you, how could I stand here?"

A burst of warm applause interrupted the speech, and when everyone's applause stopped, Wang Yang expressed his gratitude to his colleagues and fans of Flame Film, and also felt a little agitated, and couldn't help but hold up the trophy and said loudly: "Finally, thank you to my parents, my family, my big and small angels!

"Huhu-" The atmosphere in the banquet hall reached the boiling point again, Jessica's heart was beating fast, her eyes were hit by a hot current, she just kept clapping her hands, staring at the figure, and everyone around her also applauded vigorously, under the thunderous applause, Wang Yang walked off the stage with a smile.
