Chapter 988 Politics

The atmosphere was tense to the extreme, and the top and second seeds of the Best Actress award, Jennifer Lawrence and Scarlett Johansson, were laughing, but their smiles were very stiff, and they looked like they had taken too many Botox shots.

"It was ...... to win Best Actress" Jean Dujardin opened the award list, glanced at the name on it, and said aloud: "Scarlett Johansson!"

The moment Jean Dujardin read out the name of the winner, Scarlett Johansson was dizzy and her mind went blank. If it weren't for Matt Damon, who was clapping and screaming at her, she wouldn't have believed it was all true. A huge joy swept through her body, tears instantly welled up in her eyes, and then crackled and fell.

On the other side of the Dolby Theater, Harvey sighed softly, this time he was too careless. In the past, he staged a big reversal in Oss many times with a British ticket, thinking that with his previous relationship, the British judges would definitely continue to support him this time. But he forgot that the story of "The Happiness Line Behind the Dark Clouds" was too American, and the British judges were not particularly welcome at all. And "Future Apocalypse" is an epic that combines classical and modern, and the British are particularly good at it, plus "Seeing and Hearing" helped Zhang Ran wave the flag and shout, and finally planted it on the British ticket.

Jennifer Lawrence's face was so black that she was dripping water, she won the Broadcasters Guild, the Golden Globe Award, and the actress of the Screen Actors Guild, but she still lost in the end! I slept with Harvey's pig so many times, and finally I still lost!

After hugging the crew, Scarlett Johansson wiped her tears and walked onto the stage to receive the trophy from Jean Dujardin. She held the heavy trophy in her hand, looked at the different faces in the audience, and tears flowed down again: "This is crazy! Thank you Academy! Thank you Matt Damon, you are the ideal opponent actor, thank you Robert De Niro, you have taught me a lot, without you, I would not have been able to win this award." Thank you to all the crew!and my team!Thank you Summit Entertainment!"

Scarlett Johansson stopped, looked at the audience, and didn't see Zhang Ran's figure: "What I want to thank most is Director Zhang Ran, thank you very much for choosing me, thank you for giving me the role of Emily." I want to thank my parents for teaching me that anything is possible, even though I never dreamed I would get this!

The audience applauded like thunder, and the guests gave warm applause. In the eyes of many people, Scarlett Johansson is a typical vase, and there is no particularly eye-catching performance except for "Lost in Translation", but this time her performance in "Future Apocalypse" is convincing, and she completely brings the role of Emily to life.

Next, in the Best Actor contest, Daniel Day-Lewis unsurprisingly defeated all opponents. Matt Damon's performance in "Future Apocalypse" is very good, and if it were in other years, he would have a good chance of winning the actor crown. But Daniel Day-Lewis's performance in "Lincoln" is so powerful that it can be said that people block killing, and God blocks killing God, and finally Daniel Day-Lewis became the first actor in Oscar history to win Best Actor three times.

After the award for Best Actor was awarded, there was the final award, the Best Picture Award, which was presented by the famous actor Jack Nicholson. Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro, Al Pacino, and Dustin Hoffman were hailed as Hollywood's four greatest actors in the 70s, and they have all achieved fame today, and each has at least one Oscar trophy in their hands. Among them, Jack Nicholson has won two Oscars, one Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, and is the first actor to win three Oscars for acting.

Jack Nicholson took center stage with his trademark smirk: "Thank you very much, none of you should have noticed that the best picture has always been awarded by individuals, probably not wanting to see people like me messing around, such as seating order, costumes, makeup, hairstyle......s, etc."

The audience burst into laughter, in fact, this is what everyone likes to watch the most, and they like to watch celebrities complain about each other. It's a pity that the complaints on the Oscars are often very gentle, and it's only interesting if it's like a talk show.

When the laughter stopped, Jack Nicholson continued: "Anyway, I'm very honored to be here tonight for you to live ...... from the White House" There was a commotion in the audience, and the guests couldn't figure out if he was joking or if it was real. Not allowing everyone to come back to their senses, Jack Nicholson directly announced: "First Lady of the United States, Michelle ***!"

As soon as the words fell, the big screen behind Jack Nicholson lit up, and what appeared on the big screen was a room in the White House, Michelle *** was surrounded by a group of men and women in formal clothes, smiling at the camera.

Michelle's appearance surprised many people, and the guests present were simply stunned. After all, the Oscars are an entertainment occasion, and under normal circumstances, the first lady will not appear at the Oscars, which will make people feel frivolous.

Of course, it is not without members of the first family in history to appear at the Oscars, at the 1941 Oscars, then US President Franklin D. Roosevelt gave a six-minute speech on the radio at the White House, paying tribute to Hollywood, which actively participated in the anti-fascist war. In 1980, then-US President Ronald Reagan appeared at the Oscars because he himself had worked in Hollywood. However, Michelle *** is different from Roosevelt and Reagan, she is completely out of line with the Oscars, and her appearance surprised almost everyone and caused the audience to scream.

Zhang Ran shook his head slightly, Michelle's appearance basically means that "Future Apocalypse" is out of the best picture. Before the Oscars, there were many media criticizing this Oscars for being too political, and now that even the first lady of the United States has come out, the political meaning is even stronger, and the winner will definitely not be "Future Apocalypse", which is considered an anti-American film by some conservatives.

Michelle's haircut didn't look very good, and she looked like a village girl, but her speech was very good, and she should have been well prepared and skilled: "Everyone, welcome to the White House, I'm very happy to be with Jack about these excellent shortlisted films, and I want to celebrate the films that lift our spirits, broaden our horizons, and take us to places we never imagined." It's been an exciting year for film, and I'd like to congratulate all the outstanding nominees......" Michelle spoke impassionedly for more than two minutes, and finally said, "Now let's give you back the scene, Jack, and announce the nominees for us." ”

Jack Nicholson returned to the stage and smiled at the audience: "No one will say it's a mess, right?" There was a burst of laughter from the audience, who would dare to say that the first lady is here to make trouble! Jack Nicholson smiled and said, "Let's review the nine outstanding films that were nominated......"

The narrator sounds: "Escape from Tehran!" At the same time, clips from the movie "Escape from Tehran" appeared on the big screen. The audience burst into applause and screams, and "Escape from Tehran" is showing its existence in this way.

The narrator sounded again: "Future Apocalypse!" At the same time as the voice sounded, the image of "Future Apocalypse" appeared in front of the audience's eyes, which was the conversation before Colonel Koo decided to assassinate Norton XIII. Adams looked at Gu and said, "You changed me." Captain. I have a fragment of you in my head, and I will pass it on to my son. The genes that parents give to their offspring are inherited, and the ideas they teach are also inherited. Gu suddenly smiled, "Thank you, boy." I have no regrets, and I have no reason to give up. ”

A few simple lines of dialogue, but the feeling and excitement that "Future Apocalypse" brought to everyone at the beginning were recreated, so the scene resounded with deafening applause and screams. It was so loud that it seemed to collapse the entire Dolby Theater.

Hearing this deafening shouts and screams, the faces of the creators of the crew of "Escape from Tehran" changed slightly, "Future Apocalypse" is so popular, it is really difficult to say whether "Escape from Tehran" can win.

After the nine nominated films were introduced, Michelle appeared on the big screen again, holding an envelope in her hand and said: "Now the time has come for everyone to look forward to it! The award-winning film is ......" She opened the envelope, opened the list of winners, and without the slightest hesitation, directly announced: "Escape from Tehran!"

As soon as the words ended, the entire scene resounded with earth-shattering cheers, and the supporters of "Escape from Tehran" stood up, clapping and screaming. The crew of "Escape from Tehran" was simply crazy, Ben Affleck and George Clooney, who completely ignored their own image, hugged each other frantically, and roared to vent their excitement.

In the studio of the peak of the century, Wu Ershan scolded directly: "the Oscar, "Future Apocalypse" actually lost to "Escape from Tehran", the judges are simply blind!" After scolding, he remembered that this was a live broadcast, and hurriedly said: "Art lost to politics, and "Future Apocalypse" lost to "Escape from Tehran"! But it's nothing, not winning the best picture is not a loss for "Future Apocalypse", but a shame for the Oscars. Many great films didn't win the Oscar for Best Picture, "Citizen Kane", "Ecstasy", "2001: A Space Odyssey", and today "Future Apocalypse" is one of them!"

Li Shaohong also sighed: "This result is expected, "Escape from Tehran" is about Hollywood saving people, and the hero in it is Hollywood." Giving this award to "Escape from Tehran" is tantamount to giving Hollywood a high reputation, which is equivalent to acknowledging that Hollywood saved the United States. ”

Li An felt sorry for Zhang Ran in his heart, such a good movie did not win the best picture! He knew that "Future Apocalypse" missed the Oscar not only because it was a science fiction film, not only because Zhang Ran was Chinese, but more importantly, Hollywood played a major role in resolving the crisis in "Escape from Tehran". Hollywood has always flaunted heroism, and "Escape from Tehran" is about Hollywood rescuing embassy personnel trapped in Iran with a fake movie.

Zhang Ran exhaled softly, and suddenly remembered that in his previous life, Ang Lee won the Oscar for Best Director twice with "Brokeback Mountain" and "Youth Pi", but missed the Best Picture award twice. Unexpectedly, he repeated the history of Ang Lee, won the Best Director Award twice, and passed by Best Picture twice.

However, Zhang Ran was not too disappointed, it is not a bad thing that "Future Apocalypse" did not win Best Picture, "Future Apocalypse" does not need the blessing of the Oscar, just like "Star Wars" does not need an Oscar to increase the brilliance. "Future Apocalypse" missed the best picture, and the judges will feel that they owe something to Zhang Ran in their hearts. When Zhang Ran really rushes to the Olympics in the future, many judges will vote for Zhang Ran out of compensation.
