Chapter 133: Best Picture Awarded
In Dorothy Chandler's Hall, before the Oscars began, the star directors wandered and talked.
Lester walked in, looked at the star directors who had arrived first, looked for acquaintances, and saw Robert Downey Jr. and Oliver Stone chatting in their seats on the right, and stepped forward.
His place was placed next to Oliverstone.
"Donnie, Mr. Oliverstone, came early. Lester sat down next to them and said hello.
In the entire place of the awards ceremony, as far as the eye can see, including Leicester and others, only a dozen stars or directors arrived first.
"You're early, too. Robert Downey Road, Jr.;
"Uh-huh!"
Lester smiled and turned his hands to Oliverstone, "How does it feel." ”
Oliver Stone shook hands with Leicester and looked at the podium with anticipation: "This is the first time my work has received so many nominations, and I don't know if I can win it, so I'm quite nervous." ”
""Field Platoon" has the greatest hope of winning the award. "Lester firmly believes in the comfort.
Oliverstone's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought that Lester was still one of the award presenters, and he wanted to ask Lester what he was going to award, but he stopped thinking that he could only see it when he presented the awards, and his heart was less apprehensive.
With the arrival of star directors, the melodious Oscar music resounded in the scene, and the female voice of the narrator rang out at this time: "I invite the three hosts of Chevy Chase , Goldie Han and Paul Hogan to the stage." ”
The narration disappeared, and when everyone applauded, the three hosts appeared on the award ceremony stage together.
This year's Oscars took the 1987 award ceremony very seriously, and invited three hosts to co-host the Oscars.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the 59th Academy Awards. Godie Han greeted the star directors in the audience.
Paul Hogan and Chevy Chase took over the conversation separately, talking about what happened in 1986, and then the three hosts said funny things, making Leicester and other star directors in the audience smile.
In particular, he praised James Cameron, the director of "Alien 2", and Chris Vicch of "Beauty and the Beast".
Without further ado, I invited the guests to present the Best Visual Effects Award. Paul Hogan teased moderately, glanced at Godie Han and Paul Hogan, ended the teasing at the beginning, and the awards officially began.
The first film to win the award was "Alien 2" directed by James Cameron, which was awarded two small awards by the judges for best visual effects and best sound screenplay.
Lester looked to the far left, and saw Moes Cameron chatting with the producer Walter Hill next to him, and treated the award for "Alien 2" indifferently.
Although there are rumors that the Oscars are a bit biased towards commercial films, they still can't get the award position.
After the representatives of "Alien 2" led the little golden man down, the three hosts announced the next Oscars.
Lester watched the Oscar statuettes go down, and looked sideways to find that Robert Downey Jr. became nervous, slightly surprised.
"The presenters are invited to present the Best Actor Award. ”
Goldie Han's voice rang out, and Lester understood Robert Downey Jr.'s nervousness.
For any newcomer, being nominated for an Oscar will involuntarily give birth to a sense of tension in his heart.
As for whether Robert Downey Jr. can win the Oscar for Best Actor, Lester is not in his heart, in his opinion, Paul Newman is the biggest threat to whether Robert Downey Jr. can win the award.
"Relax. Lester patted Robert Downey Jr. on the shoulder.
"Yes. Robert Downey Jr. relaxed a little, but his eyes were still fixed on the open letter in the hands of the award presenters.
"The winner of Best Actor is: In the midst of everyone's curiosity and the nervousness of the nominees, the award presenters read out the name of the winner: Paul Newman.
"Whew!"
Hearing that it was not his name, Robert Downey Jr. looked disappointed, but his heart was a little lighter.
Lester was trying to comfort Robert Downey Jr., when he saw that he was relaxed, and it seemed that his friend was a strong man, and he took the words back into his stomach.
After all, Donnie is still a little immature, and he can't compare with Paul Newman, the brilliant performer in "The True Color of Money".
This is a great lord, and he refused to attend last year's Oscar ceremony, which caused quite a stir.
Lester had heard Tom Cruise, who played Paul Newman, say that the superstar's performance broke through again.
In addition to Paul Newman's appearance, Tom Cruise himself took the initiative to get the opportunity to perform.
Seeing that the person who came to the stage to receive the award turned out to be not Paul Newman, but the representative went up to receive the award, and once again did not come to receive the award.
"Mr. Lester, please follow me. ”
At this time, the staff came and shouted;
Lester looked at the representatives on stage who helped Paul Newman win the award, got up and followed the staff behind the scenes.
As he left, Leicester heard that Best Director had been won by Oliver Stone.
Following the staff to the passage where the guests came to the stage, the person standing in front of the meeting was a little surprised: "Mr. Robert Whites, you are." ”
He didn't expect to see the president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences here, with the award letter in his hand.
"I'm the guest with you presenting the best picture. Robert White smiled.
This surprised Lester a little, and hurriedly stretched out his hand: "Fortunately." ”
Robert White shook hands with Leicester, heard the host on stage announce the last Oscar award, and said to Lester, "Let's go! ”
"Robert Whites, President of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and Director Lesterrey are invited to present the Best Film Award. ”
Bang Bang Bang!
To a round of applause, Lester and Robert White walked onto the podium.
"You first. Robert White asked Lester to speak first.
Since Robert White asked him to speak first, Lester said under the gaze of a crowd: "It was a surprise that the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences asked me to be a guest to present the awards, especially Mr. Robert Whites and me, and it was an honor for me to be able to present the winners of this year's Oscars for Best Picture." After saying this, he stepped back and let Robert White speak.
Robert White said that after another Oscar event and development, he picked up the letter and opened it and showed it to Lester.
Seeing the award-winning work in the letter, Lester looked surprised, and then the camera focused on him, appearing on the video screens on both sides for everyone to look closely.
This made the star directors in the audience curious about Lester's expression.
"The Oscar winner for Best Picture is. Robert White, under everyone's expectant gaze, pronounced the name of the film that won the best picture: "Field Platoon." ”
As soon as the award-winning film came out, everyone applauded.
Amid leisurely music and applause, Oliver Stone stood on the podium with Major Charlie Sheen and stood with Leicester.
"Here you go. Robert White took the Oscar statuette and handed it to Lester.
Holding the heavy Oscar statuette, Lester glanced at Oliver Stone with a smile on his face and said his acceptance speech.
At this time, the Oscars ceremony is also coming to an end, and after the acceptance speech in Leicester, this year's Oscars are officially over.
