In the past, most of the Oscars began with supporting actresses, and beautiful women appeared on the stage, which made the audience's eyes shine. However, the first one to be awarded today is the Best Supporting Actor, and this award can be said to be very suspenseful. Christopher Waltz's elegant and wicked genius performance in Inglourious Basterds shines the light of the character, even unquestionably overshadowing the lead character, Pete. not only won the actor in Cannes, but also swept all the way in the Oscar outpost, and the weather vane was all the way.

The answer was soon revealed, and Christopher Waltz won the best supporting actor without dispute. Fifty-three-year-old Austrian actor Christoph Walz had been unknown until now, and almost everyone who saw him for the first time in "Inglourious Basterds" would ask, "Who was that Nazi officer?" for Christoph Waltz, he really soared.

"Inglourious Basterds" is a film produced by Weinstein, which received 7 nominations this year, including Best Picture and Best Director, and Ristofer Waltz won Best Supporting Actor, which made a good start, and the whole crew thundered with joy. Harvey cheered, then turned around and smirked, clapping his hands vigorously.

Zhang Ran scolded the slut in his heart and ignored Harvey, but Neil did not miss this opportunity and flew directly with two middle fingers.

The awards ceremony continued, with "Flying House" comfortably winning Best Animated Feature, followed by "The-Eary-Kind" from the movie "Crazy Heart" winning Best Original Song.

Summit Entertainment's movies were not shortlisted for these two awards, and Zhang Ran watched the excitement on the side easily. However, after the Best Original Song Award, the Best Original Script was to be awarded, and Zhang Ran was shortlisted for this award, and he couldn't help but adjust his sitting posture and sit up.

The Best Screenplay Award was presented to Robert Downey Jr. and Tina Fey, and the award presenters showed how much importance Hollywood attaches to scripts, and everyone understands that a good script is one of the key factors in the success of a movie.

In the Xinlang studio, the host Gu Yu asked: "Are there many foreign language films that have been nominated for Best Original Screenplay at the Oscars? I know that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was nominated for the screenplay, but it seems to be an adapted screenplay. ”

Zhou Liming nodded and said: "Yes, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a nomination for adapted scripts, and there are many nominations for original screenplays for foreign language films, and many masters such as Bergman and Fellini have been nominated for Best Original Screenplay. ”

Gu Yu asked a question that many people are particularly concerned about: "Does Zhang Ran have a chance to win the award?"

Bi Chenggong said with some regret: "There is not much chance." A foreign language film won the award for Best Original Screenplay, and I remember that only the Spanish director Almodóvar did it in '03, and it was the film "Say to Her". Why did Almodóvar win it? Because the most powerful films of the year were not original scripts, but adapted screenplays, and the opponent of the original screenplay award was particularly weak, so it created a miracle. If "The Pianist", "Chicago", and "All the Time" were original scripts, Almodóvar would definitely not be able to take them. The reason is very simple, most of the Oscar judges are Americans, and it is impossible to choose a foreigner if they are strong enough. Almodóvar is white, and the situation is better, but it is even more difficult for Zhang Ran to be yellow. Even if you're a little better than him, people won't choose you. If you want to win a prize, you have to be a lot stronger than your opponent to be possible!"

At the award ceremony, Zhang Ran smiled, turned his head and whispered to Mary Hill beside him, without showing the slightest nervousness. His ease is not pretending, but really relaxed, because he knows that he is not going to win the award.

Robert Downey Jr. announced the results, and it was really not "Love", it was "Bomb Disposal Unit" that won the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Zhang Ran and Neil smiled at each other, stood up, and clapped loudly in Harvey's direction. They knew that the Best Original Screenplay award was lost, and the possibility of Weinstein's "Inglourious Basterds" winning Best Picture was basically ruled out.

Harvey knew that Zhang Ran and Neil were applauding him, and he didn't look back, but his expression was extremely ugly. Quentin's face was also ugly, and he leaned back in his chair and was silent. They know that the possibility of "Inglourious Basterds" hitting Best Picture is completely shattered!

Under normal circumstances, if a movie wants to win the Oscar for Best Picture, in addition to the Best Picture Award, it needs to win almost two more statuettes to be possible. Judging from the sentinel battle and weather vane, the most likely awards for "Inglourious Basterds", in addition to Best Picture, are the supporting actor and the best original screenplay.

The awards ceremony continued, with stars taking the stage one after another, and Oscar trophies being presented one after another.

"The winner of the award for best sound effect was Paul Otson of "Bomb Disposal Unit"!"

"The winner of the award for Best Sound Editing was Ray Beckett for 'Bomb Disposal Unit'!"

……

"The winner of the Best Art Direction Award was Avatar's Robert Stormberg and Rick Carter!"

"The winner of the award for Best Cinematography was Avatar's Moro Fiora!"

"The winner of the Best Visual Effects award was Avatar's Richard Balleham, Joe Reitley!"

The Dolby Theater was constantly drowned out by applause and laughter, and the entire awards ceremony became a stage for the performances of "Bomb Disposal Unit" and "Avatar" in turn, and the two sides chased after each other, and the fight was 3-3. The two hit films, "Inglourious Basterds" and "In the Clouds," had a dismal performance, with "Inglourious Basterds" having only one male supporting role, while "In the Clouds" had no results.

At this moment, the award presenters Almodóvar and Quentin took the stage, and they were ready to present the award for the best foreign language film. Almodóvar has won two statuettes, and Quentin is an unconditional supporter of foreign language films, and they are the best candidates to award the best foreign language film.

Countless Chinese audiences began to beat their hearts faster, and countless netizens kept swiping the screen on forums, post bars, Weibo and other places: "The best foreign language film!", "Come on, come on! Lao Mouzi will watch you!", "Come on, China! Come on, come on, Lao Mouzi!", "This is a script written by Zhang Ran of my family, don't waste it!" ......

In the Xinlang studio, Gu Yu said in a slightly excited tone: "It's finally the best foreign language film that fans across the country are looking forward to, and I'm a little nervous now." Three teachers, which movie do you like?"

Bi Chenggong and Zhou Liming said in unison: "I'm optimistic about "Love"!

Zheng Dongdong laughed: "I'm also optimistic about "Love"! The films shortlisted this year are a little interesting, "Sad Milk" is the Golden Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival, "White Ribbon" is the Palme d'Or at Cannes, and "Love" is the Venice Golden Lion Award. My personal favorite is "White Ribbon", which started completely quietly, such a harsh movie, so calmly filmed, so many black and white films, fixed shots, and things that the entire 20th century human beings had to get something from this movie, which is very powerful. ”

Zhou Liming has a different opinion: "Even if there is no "Love" this year, "White Ribbon" will not win the best foreign language film. That's the case, to win the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film can't be too cruel, in terms of theme and treatment to be a little different from Best Picture, you have to be one step ahead, but not too avant-garde, you can only be one or two steps ahead of what we are doing now, if you are five steps ahead of schedule, no one will appreciate it, too European, too American, in short, a little different from American films, you have to have challenges, but not too many challenges. "Love" is the most compliant of all the movies, the story itself is cruel, but it is not desperate, this is what Zhang Ran is best at, the script is really good, if Zhang Yimou wins the Best Foreign Language Film Award, he should really thank Zhang Ran!"

Bi Chenggong also agreed: "Yes, I should really thank Zhang Ran." In recent years, director Zhang Yimou has received a lot of criticism, and many people have scolded him for Jiang Lang's talent, but in fact, it is not that his level is not good, but mainly because the script is not good. In the past, he filmed "Red Sorghum", "The Red Lantern Hangs High", and "Alive", all of which were adapted from the best literary works in our country; but in recent years, the scripts have all been made by his own studio, and the gap in this level is too big. ”

Zhang Ran, who was sitting at the awards ceremony at this time, still looked relaxed, and the most stable award for the movie released by Summit Entertainment this year should be the best foreign language film. "Love" won the nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay as a foreign language, Zhang Ran dared to pat his chest and said, if I can't win the best foreign language film, I will crawl on the ground!

Zhang Yimou was a little nervous, he had been making movies for more than 20 years, and he had almost won the awards he should have won, but he lacked an Oscar. Until now, he has hit Oscar several times, and each time he has returned with a feather, Oscar is about to become a heart disease of his. At this time, how could he not be nervous. Of course, Zhang Yimou is not a rookie who has participated in the Oscars for the first time, although he is very nervous, he looks quite calm.

Meanwhile, clips from the five shortlisted films have already been played. Almodóvar held the list of winners, slowly opened the envelope under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, and slowly read: "The Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film is ......"

The guests looked nervously at Almodóvar, the members of the "Love" crew clenched their fists nervously, and countless Chinese viewers who followed the best foreign language films held their breath as if their hearts were about to jump out of their hearts.

After a brief pause, Almodóvar loudly announced: "Love, China!"

When "China" came out of Almodovar's mouth, the guests in the Xinlang studio stood up and cheered and applauded, while the host Gu Yu directly picked up the hand-sprayed ribbon that had been prepared long ago and sprayed it in the air, and the whole scene was as lively as a festival.

At this moment, countless viewers across the country who were paying attention to the award ceremony were cheering loudly, and the online world was caught in a carnival, with netizens frantically swiping the screen in forums, post bars, and Weibo blogs.

"Best Foreign Language Film, Chinese Movie "Love"! Congratulations to director Zhang Yimou, it's amazing!"

"Congratulations to director Zhang Yimou for winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film!"

"Best Foreign Language Film! Lao Mouzi has been nominated four times, and this time he finally won!"

"Haha! I knew there was no problem! Lao Mouzi and Zhang Ran, the two swords were combined, how could they lose!"

Zhang Ran let out a sigh of relief, stood up, and applauded Zhang Yimou with a smile; the rest of the crew of "Love" was like crazy, quickly gathered towards Zhang Yimou, and shouted congratulatory words around him.

Zhang Weiping jumped up directly with excitement, starting from "Hero", before the movie was released, he would use the Olympic Games as a gimmick to hype, and now he has been hyped for nearly ten years, and now he finally won the Oscar! His eyes widened, grabbed Zhang Yimou's arm, and shouted loudly: "Yimou, we have won the award! We have won the Oscar!"

Zhang Yimou couldn't hide the excitement in his heart, and his smile was extremely bright. However, he ignored Zhang Weiping, but pushed away the crowd, held Zhang Ran's hand tightly, and shook it vigorously. This time, it was all thanks to Zhang Ran who not only gave himself an excellent script that best suited the Oscars, but also spent millions of dollars on public relations. He said excitedly: "Zhang Ran, thank you! Thank you very much!"

Zhang Ran patted Zhang Yimou's hand and reminded with a smile: "Everyone is waiting for you, hurry up to the stage to receive the award!"
