Chapter 65: Best Live-Action Short Film (Revised)

Jack Lemmon opened the podium with a simple opening, causing everyone to laugh and announce the official start of the awards. ''There are guests invited to present the best sound effects. ”

The first award was the Best Sound Award, which was awarded to the best sound effect award last year, and unlike last year's sound and sound awards, there was only one sound award this year, which was won by five films: "2010 Megatron Helios", "Deep in My Heart", "Journey to India", "Cotton Club" and "Mozart".

The next Best Visual Effects Award was awarded to "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2", and the crew went up to take the little golden man, casually said a word of thanks, and then went down to the presenters to announce the next award.

The subsequent awards for best costume and design were won by "Mozart", which is also well deserved, and other films really can't compare with these two.

The previous awards are not mainstream awards, and they are being awarded little by little.

When it came to the mainstream awards, the best adapted screenplay was won by "Mozart" at one time, and the best original screenplay was won by Robert Benton, the screenwriter of "Deep in My Heart".

"The winner of Best Animated Short Film was Dumb/Guessing Game. After the presentation of the documentary awards, the award presenters opened the envelope and read out the first important award of the day.

Another official thank-you, the director of "Dumb Fan/Guessing Game" walked off the podium with a little golden man.

"Spielberg and Diane Lynne are now invited to present the winners of the best live-action short film. ”

Host Jack Lemmon said after a brief introduction;

Spielberg and Diane Lynne walked up to the podium holding hands and stood where they had spoken.

The two jokingly talked, Spielberg picked up the letter and opened it, saw the name written on the envelope, raised his eyebrows, and smiled.

In the back of the four short films that were nominated, Lester looked nervously at the stage.

Spielberg showed Diane Lynn, who pretended to be surprised and announced with a smile: "The winner for the best live-action short film is Lestrore of "Stuttering." ”

"Congratulations!"

There was warm applause around, and Madonna clapped her hands and said congratulations;

The winner of the live-action short film is Lestrore, which actually makes some people a little unbelievable, and the media report that "Up" has the highest demand for the award, but I didn't expect it to be upset halfway, and "Stuttering" won the Best Live Action Short Film award.

David Moria looked at Lester with a smile on his face, and felt quite unhappy: "Isn't it just a Best Live Action Short Film Award, what's there to be happy about." ”

"The youngest winner, Lestrore, is invited to be nominated for the first time. With the introduction of the music and the female voice in the narration, Lester's nervousness disappeared, and he got up with a happy face and hugged Harrison Ford and the others, and walked onto the podium.

The little golden man who took Spielberg's hand, hugged Spielberg and Diane Lynn, and stood in front of the microphone.

Under the gaze of a group of people, Lester said with some excitement: "I am very grateful to the academy for supporting me and allowing me to win the Short Film Award, and thank you Robert Jr. for his wonderful performance, and thank you to the crew for their efforts." ”

In a simple speech, in the applause of the stars in the audience, Lester sat back in his place, winning the Oscar for the first time, even if it was a niche mainstream award for a live-action short film, he was very excited.

On the podium, after going down to Leicester, the Oscars invited the performers sang a song and presented the Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, and the winners were Wu Han and Peggy Ashcroft respectively.

"Best Actor is awarded below".

Jack Lemmon invited the award presenters to the stage, and the picture behind him appeared the male lead of the 6 films that were nominated.

After the picture was played, the award presenter opened the envelope letter, and when he saw the name in the envelope, the awarding guest was stunned, and the stars in the audience looked at the two people on the stage with some confusion.

"The winner for Best Actor was Michael Douglas of Wall Street. ”

Coming back to his senses, the award presenters pronounced out the names that made the stars in the audience unbelievable.

"Upset. “

Stars thought of the word dark horse, and the most popular winner for Best Actor was F. Maury Abraham in "Mozart", but Michael Douglas won the Best Actor in a blink of an eye.

In fact, thanks to Lester's public relations and publicity, the New York City government listed "Wall Street" as a classic Wall Street movie, and the Oscars have always had political tendencies.

"Wall Street" as a commercial film is different from this year's policy, and the academy finally saw that Michael Douglas's acting skills were not similar to that of "Mozart" F. Maury Abraham, so that Michael Douglass won Best Actor.

In the warm applause, Michael Douglas took the little golden figure in the hands of the guests and made a personal speech and said; I would like to thank the Academy for their support, and I would like to thank Lestrore for finding me during my window break and letting me star in "Wall Street". ”

Michael Douglas finished speaking, and the final best picture was won by "Mozart", becoming the biggest winner of the 57th Oscars.

The Oscars ended, and everyone did not end, and came to the "Vanity Fair" held at the Oscars, which was called the Oscar Night Party.

The award-winning star director came to "Vanity Fair" and was questioned by reporters.

"Cheers!"

Leicester raised his glass of red wine and drank it with Spielberg and the others.

In addition to Harrison Ford, there are also new Oscar winner Michael Douglas and others at this table, which attracts the attention of reporters, and reporters frequently take pictures with cameras.

Except for Michael Douglas who won the leading actor, the others, although they did not win the grand prize, did not diminish the nature of their party.

"Mr. Spielberg, why haven't I seen you come to Flying Bird Films these days? ”

Lester put down the juice in his hand and asked with some confusion;

Robert Zemeckis edited the trailer of "Back to the Future", and Spielberg, as one of the producers, often came to Flying Bird Film and Television to follow up, until the promotional board trailer was released at the Super Bowl, Spielberg rarely came.

Spielberg thought of the plot of the past few days, and said with a headache: "I fancy a novel "The Color Purple" and want to buy her to adapt it into a movie, you know, I am doubted by the author about his directing ability, and I am still negotiating." ”

"Haha, Mr. Spielberg has a day of suspicion. Harrison Ford teased;

Spielberg showed a helpless look, causing everyone to laugh and attract the sideways glances of those around him.

Lester was thoughtful and blurted out: "I don't know if you have found an investment from a distribution company, is it Lucasfilm or Warner Bros." ”

"It's too early, she hasn't promised me an adaptation yet. ”

Spielberg said helplessly;

"Mr. Spielberg, in this case, I asked Emmanuel to go with you to talk about the film you filmed by my Bird Films. Lester finished in one breath and looked at Spielberg.

The tone is very clear: he wants to invest in him, Spielberg.

"That's great, Mr. Emmanuel is not a small worker. Spielberg was a little surprised, surprised;

After the party, the few people left separately, and Lester told Emmanuel with Spielberg's news, asking him to help Spielberg get the film adaptation rights to "The Color Purple" tomorrow.

Emmanuel was just about to hang up the phone, Lester thought of something, and said: "Help me and Paramount win "Top Gun", in exchange for the two cooperative development of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", I will make up for the funds they spent, and we will take over, I think Paramount is more important, and we should not give up our conditions." ”

"Okay. Emmanuel hung up.
