Chapter 1060: A good start
In the previous list of nominees, "The Dark Knight" won Best Supporting Actor, Best Sound Editing, Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, Best Makeup, and Best Director and Best Actor than the original.
Ten nominations make the film once again the brightest star at the Oscars. "Slumdog Millionaire", which attracted much attention during the same period, could not match its momentum.
This is Hugh Jackman's first appearance as a host. Although it was the first time, he did it quite smoothly, and his witty words were like beads, which attracted bursts of applause from time to time. The emotions of the people present were quite high.
Soon entered the award ceremony, Nolan saw Roy looking at his watch all the time, and couldn't help but tease him: "How long have you been away from Leila, and you are so anxious to go back?"
"The doctor said she was going to give birth in the next few days, and I really didn't want to leave her at this time. Roy can still maintain his demeanor as an actor on the surface, and his impatience can be heard from his slightly hurried voice.
Nolan tapped him on the shoulder with a funny look, "It's not bad for a while, you said it was a few days ago when I called you last week." ”
"I really didn't want to come, but Laila asked me to help her receive the award. If it weren't for her, he would definitely stay by her side and never leave, and God knows what a regret he would have in his life if he hadn't seen his little princess born for the first time!
"Well, you guys don't want to say anything to me anymore. Nolan shook his head speechlessly. One is a wife protector, the other is an award-winning professional, who said that these two people are not a natural pair, he will definitely be the first to stand up and argue.
It really didn't start with him to win awards, Leila, who has been working hard in Hollywood for ten years, has really won various awards, and even the Oscars, a grand event that all filmmakers yearn for, has almost become her personal performance stage.
What is the youngest Oscar for Best Director, what is the first female Best Director in film history, and what is the individual who has won the most awards, etc., almost all the records that can be broken by her have been broken.
And she not only won Best Director, but also won awards for screenplay and editing, which will definitely not be much lighter than the director. Although for fans, it is certain that the director's profession is more handsome, but in the hearts of real filmmakers, the script and editing are also a very important part of the movie.
"The winner of Best Film Editing is Leila Moran's The Dark Knight!"
Just as Nolan was thinking about Leila's deeds, the presenters on the stage had already read Leila's name.
Leila didn't come, and it must have been Roy who took the award in her place. At this time, he had already strode to the stage in three or two steps.
"Thank you, thank you all for presenting this award to Leila. She was unable to come today due to her health, and I would like to express her gratitude to everyone on her behalf. She has always said that 'editing is a very important job', and in her heart, it will never be easier than the work of a director. It's just that it's hidden too deep to be understood by the audience. You may not know that every time she enters the editing room, the whole building gets nervous......"
Roy picked up two interesting things and said two things, causing the audience in the audience and in front of the TV to laugh and lean back.
Many people will have a sense of distance from Leila because of her identity and status and the achievements she has made, thinking that she should be cold, a boss who is high up and full of noble and glamorous presidents. But in Roy's mouth, she is a little cute and cute, whether it is Roy's eyes with a love filter to see, or it makes many people who see this passage like Laila even more.
"The Dark Knight" got off to a good start, but the next nominations were a series of misses.
Best cinematography and sound effects went to The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, while best art direction, visual effects and makeup went to Millionaire in the Slums.
One miss after another made the audience in front of the TV go crazy.
"Why not give 'The Dark Knight'? If nothing else, the visual effects and art direction, which one would dare to say better than our favorite Batman?"
"That's right, why is such a great film losing to that kind of movie? Is it because it's a commercial film? Is it because it's a superhero story? It's so unfair!"
"The brains of the Oscar judges should also be younger, what's wrong with commercial films? As long as they do well, do they still need to care whether they are commercial films or art films?"
"Leila is so pathetic that she can't come and see what is rightfully her own being obtained by others. ”
The internet is full of grievances about Leila and the Dark Knight crew. When Leila was watching the live stream at home, Janet meant the same thing.
"If you want me to say what kind of Oscar this is, it should be closed! I can't even be fair, what's the use of keeping it!"
Leila wasn't so angry: "Actually, it's something that can be predicted. In the past two years, my limelight has been too strong, they can't give me all the awards, and now two are not bad, and it just so happens that my movie is a superhero movie again. Ignoring me and choosing something else is a normal choice. ”
The Oscars weren't for her, and if she had to win a bunch of awards every year for her films, would anyone care about the awards? If she were a judge, she would probably do the same thing.
"Then you can't do that!Your strength is there, those should be your easy, how can you be casually given to others!" Janet didn't care about the mess, she only saw that her daughter had worked hard but didn't get the reward she deserved, which made her very angry.
Leila smiled and patted her mother's hand: "There will be a chance in the future, I'm still young, isn't it?" There are very few people in history who can win more than two Oscars, but look at her, although she is not the same trophy, she has already won several. If she wants, she can remake all the popular films that will win Oscars in the future.
But she doesn't plan to do that again, she wants to make her own films. The previous accumulation is enough, and she believes that even if she doesn't count which ones will be liked by the audience, she can accurately grasp their appetite. As long as they know what they like, will they not be able to make the film they want?
So she doesn't care as much about Oscar as she used to be. Maybe it has something to do with the obsession that she has completed two lifetimes, right? When she got the little gold figure that represented the director's highest honor, it was as if a burden had been put down on her shoulders.
Of course, that doesn't mean that she has lost her momentum for making movies. On the contrary, the time that truly belongs to him has officially arrived!
