In the end, Miramax still lost to DreamWorks' "A Beautiful Mind", and it is impossible to say that Harvey Weinstein, who is sitting in the middle of the first floor at the moment, has no idea in his heart.

Of the five nominations, Miramax accounted for two and the other accounted for two, but the final winner was "A Beautiful Mind" with only one shortlist, which seemed to announce the failure of the "awards season PR battle" that Harvey Weinstein relied on to become famous.

Around Harvey Weinstein, some insiders glanced at this fat man with playful eyes, and Harvey didn't have to look back to know the expressions of the people around him, although they didn't show it too obviously, but it was very distinct.

But for Harvey Weinstein, even if he loses this time, he can prepare for the next time, and as long as the game of the Oscars and awards season is still in play, then he, the old Duke, will not lose.

As for the current defeat, Harvey Weinstein is just "bad luck".

"Certainly not bad luck. Sid smiled faintly, with obvious banter in his expression.

Jeremy, who was standing next to him and went to the toilet, asked curiously, "Jennifer can win the award, but it can be regarded as a breakthrough, and this is not luck?"

"This is called the general trend!" Sid shook his head lightly, he still didn't understand Jeremy, so he explained: "It's very simple, what film has a good chance of winning awards this year, just look at the recent state of the public." ”

"There's really only one theme this year – 911, people need to be soothed, people need to be happy. The reason why our "Begin Again" and "A Beautiful Mind" have become big hits, and even "Moulin Rouge" has been able to shine light, is because we reflect this collective mentality. ”

And although Harvey has been shortlisted for several films, none of them have anything to do with this year's theme, so even if he gets more nominations, he will not use it indiscriminately. Sid shrugged his shoulders as he spoke.

Jeremy immediately screamed, "Hey, don't mess around, you're going to come to me!"

It turned out that Sid and Jeremy were in the bathroom of the Kodak Theater, and the two of them took advantage of the intermission to come out to drain the water.

"Okay, you're shouting louder, the ladies outside are really thinking it's Kevin Spacey looking for a man in the bathroom. After Sid washed his hands, he said with a poisonous tongue.

In the following award process, in addition to the regular awards and witty jokes, the organizing committee also inserted a warm clip very intimately, such as asking celebrities to talk about their favorite movies and favorite reasons.

Of course, what is released is a warm and sweet movie, not a violent and exciting film.

In a series of technical awards that followed, "Black Hawk Down" took home the award for Best Editing, "The Lord of the Rings" took the award for Best Makeup, and "Moulin Rouge" took the award for Best Costume Design.

When Jodie Foster, a beautiful woman in a silver dress, walked onto the stage with a gold envelope, Amy Adams suddenly said excitedly: "I have a good premonition!"

"What?" asked curiously, applauded by the crowd around them.

"We're going to win a prize!" Amy Adams said with a smile.

"Are you serious?" asked Sid and the others in surprise.

"Don't ask me, I dreamed about it last night. Amy said with an excited smile on her face, and as she spoke, she crossed her fingers like a little girl.

"Photography is the first step in the beginning of film. "The cinematographer acts as the director's eyes on the set, and through them, the director can show the audience the world in their minds." ”

Although Jodie Foster is also here to present technical awards, but what she presented today is a little different, for a long time, best cinematography and best editing are generally regarded as awards that are relatively closely linked to best director and best picture, or even more closely than screenplay awards.

After all, if a best film or a best director isn't even the best in the two crucial aspects of cinematography and editing, it's hard to convince people that it's good.

Therefore, the result of Jodie Foster's current envelope can be said to have touched the nerves of many people.

After the opening greetings, she didn't make a fuss, but quickly turned to the introduction of the movie.

The five shortlisted films are "The Lord of the Rings", "Moulin Rouge", "Amelie", "BeginAgain", and "Black Hawk Down".

Whether it's the epic "The Lord of the Rings", the cheerful and vivid "Moulin Rouge", or the realistic and cruel "Black Hawk Down", or the beautiful "BeginAgain Song Changes Life", they all have their own unique side, and even Sid is hard to judge who really has an overwhelming advantage.

So, everything still has to wait for the moment when the answer is revealed.

"The winner of the Oscar is...... Lance Arcod, "BeginAgain Songs Change Lives"!

“OMG！”

Lance jumped up excitedly and kissed his girlfriend next to him without shy in front of the camera.

The cheers at that moment even exceeded the applause of congratulations, and then everyone in the "BeginAgain Song Changes Lives" phalanx, especially everyone around Amy Adams, showed incredible expressions.

Sid stood up with a smile and applause, looked at Amy with a raised eyebrow, and said with his lips, "You're actually the time-traveler, aren't you?" ”

But in the cheers of joy around them, the sentence was drowned out without even a ripple.

And after Lance finally let go of his girlfriend and walked to the stage, he suddenly turned a corner and ran to Sid's side to hug him and thank him.

At the same time, an introduction to Lance sounded in the Kodak Theater: "This is the second time Lance has been nominated, the first to win, after he was nominated for the Best Cinematography Award for "Earth Thunder". ”

In the live camera and the cheers and applause of the crowd, everyone smiled and watched all this, a 21-year-old young man, not only succeeded himself, but also led the work partners around him to succeed together, which in the past, but only in Hollywood for more than ten years of struggle can be achieved.

Is the year 2000, the new millennium, really so wonderful?

In the midst of everyone's complicated thoughts, Lance Arcod walked onto the stage and felt that his breath was a little difficult after taking over the heavy little golden figure from Jodie Foster.

And then he pulled out a business card?

"Well, it's really just a business card from the front desk of the hotel. Lance Arcord laughed nervously, and his funny remark drew laughter from the audience.
