Chapter II Nominations
Suddenly, Sid felt Lindsay and Britney shake himself at the same time, he looked up, and the two girls pointed at the TV in unison. It turned out that it was time for www.biquge.info the nominations for the Best Live Action Short Film award to be announced.
I saw the president of the academy, Robert Raimi, open the envelope, put on his trademark squinting eyes and read with a smile: "The Oscar for Best Live Action Short Film is Casco Jayer, "Homeland", "Tann to Tann" Emil Kusturitsa, ......"
As he pronounces his name, the television set on the wall behind Robert Raimi and Kevin Spacey will reveal the nominated short film, with the name of the short film and the name of the director below.
"The Pistol with Six Bullets" Sid Leonhardt. Robert Remy's flat voice spoke, but it immediately caused a burst of chemistry in the room.
"Oh!" Jeremy and Max Martin cried out in surprise, while Lindsay and Britney were already holding hands and shouting together.
Sid suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to hold these two Nizi in his arms, think about the feeling of two adolescent girls screaming in your ear together, that sour~~
The screams made Sid not hear the name of the short film that was nominated next, but when it came to the last short-cut film, Robert Raimi suddenly paused, he smiled slightly, and then said, "Curfew" Sid Leonhardt. ”
"Wow, wow, wow, wow, !!" even Sid himself was taken aback, although he knew that these two short films were originally short films that had won the Oscar "in history", but one award, two films by the same director?
That's a lot of.
Sid said with a smile.
"What's the, how much do you think Ali (Emmanuel) and Sean spent on public relations? Jeremy shouted with a smile, although he was complaining, but he had a completely excited smile on his face.
"Don't talk nonsense, this is called recruiting the academy to like it. Amy Adams smiled and waved.
After the excitement of the crowd, it was time to watch the next nominations.
Overall, the Oscars in 99 were mainly dominated by Miramax's "Shakespeare in Love" and Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", but in the early stage of the awards season, the Italian film "Life is Beautiful", which was not very eye-catching, appeared at the Oscars.
The film won several nominations, including Best Editing, and when it came to Best Original Screenplay, "Life is Beautiful" was the first to be called.
"Oh hoho, it seems that "Life is Beautiful" is going to exceed the evaluation of the media, and it may be tied with the other two blockbusters. Sid couldn't help but say.
"It seems that yes, I didn't expect the Oscars to be so 'open' this time. Jeremy also nodded and said that it is indeed rare for a European film that was not very optimistic in advance to be nominated for a key award.
At this time, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Shakespeare in Love" were also nominated for Best Original Screenplay one after another. At this time, Sid suddenly nervously shook Lindsay's and Britney's hands, because "Little Sunshine Beauty" also applied for this nomination.
"Truman's World" Andrew Nicol. Well, 'Truman's World' is a good story," Sid thought with a shrug, but the force in his hand was even greater.
The last list finally came out of Kevin Spacey's mouth: "Sid Leonhardt, Little Sunny." ”
Then Sid's picture appears on the last screen.
"Oooooooo
Following Matt Damon and Ben Affleck at 28 last year, 17-year-old Sid broke their record and officially became the youngest Oscar original screenplay nominee ever.
The announcement of this list of nominations not only made Sid's house boil, but also broke the peace of all the people who watched the announcement of the nominations.
"Holy, man, can you believe this!?" Ben Affleck said, pointing to the TV with a shocked look on his face, to his friend Matt Damon.
"Calm down, Ben. Matt Damon said helplessly.
"Calm down, 18-year-old best screenplayer!?" Ben Affleck cried out speechlessly, shaking his head, "18 years old! a full 10 years younger than us?"
"Well, actually, I've always had this hunch that Sid will be shortlisted. In the past few years, the academy has been especially fond of young geniuses. Matt Damon shrugged.
Not to mention the "Ben Da Meng" brothers who created a miracle last year, other industry insiders who saw this nomination in front of the TV couldn't help but sigh that the back waves of the Yangtze River pushed the front waves.
And when the nominees finally got their turn to the most talked-about actors, Sid and they soon heard a familiar name again, and Robert Raimi, the president of the academy, read out "Ian McLean, "Little Sunny" after "Truman's World" and "Shakespeare's Love History" were shortlisted for Best Supporting Actor. ”
"Oh, Mr. Ian is also shortlisted. Amy Adams sighed again.
The excitement that has been repeated several times has made everyone a little out of breath, so they are not too excited about the entry of Old Man Ian. But then again, in terms of the old man's acting skills, it's just a nomination, isn't it a matter of course?
"I heard that "Gods and Devils" starring Mr. Ian also applied for Best Actor. Sid suddenly said, "If it goes well, the old man may become a candidate for Best Actor and Supporting Actor at the same time this year." ”
"Oh, thinking about it this way, this year's protagonist is actually Mr. Ian. Jeremy said with a smile.
"That's right. Sid smiled and spoke, and the list of nominees for Best Supporting Actress had begun to be announced.
From Judi Dench, who played the Queen of England in "Shakespeare in Love", to ...... Well, Sid said that he hadn't heard of the other Best Supporting Actress nominees and their films. We have the ability to remember instantaneously, but this is not impressive, it can only mean that you are too scummy.
But after Kevin Spacey finished reading the first three finalists, he raised his eyebrows in surprise when he saw the fourth name, and then read: "Lindsay Lohan, Little Sunshine." ”
Sid directly blocked his own ear with his hand.
But Lindsey seemed to freeze, not screaming or jumping. Sid and Britney looked at each other in some strange way, and Sid put down his hand and patted Lindsay on the back, turning her around.
I saw Lindsay frozen there, and asked with a confused expression, "Brother Sid, did you say that I ...... just now?"
"Well, Lindsay, you are shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress ......" Sid didn't finish speaking, Lindsay, who reacted, jumped up instantly, "Ah!!h
Sh―!
Sid "cried" as he looked at his unplugged ears.
Lindsay screamed excitedly as she ran around the room and announced her nomination for Best Supporting Actress to the rest of the villa.
Sid smiled and looked at Lindsay who ran out, and couldn't help but hold his forehead and said: "Am I helping you to make success too easy, and becoming famous at a young age is not a very good thing." ”
"Hey, are you bragging?" Max Martin couldn't help but complain, "People say I'm a genius, but I find that I can't compare to you as a monster." ”
"Hee-hee. Sid laughed, "I'm just a teenager and precocious, and don't be jealous that I'm handsome than you." ”
"Go-" Max Martin directly/vertically/up/his/middle/finger.
Just when everyone was chattering and busy, the shortlist of candidates for Best Actress and Best Actor was also announced.
From Gwyneth Paltrow in "Shakespeare in Love", to Cate Blanchett (Queen) in "Elizabeth", to Aunt May (Meryl Streep) who has been there for decades.
Whether it is an actress or an actor, from the perspective of the strength of the actors, the competition is quite fierce. Moreover, living up to everyone's expectations, Mr. Ian was really shortlisted for the best actor candidate with his performance in "God and the Devil".
"Whew~~~" Sid suddenly felt a little nervous, just like when the shortlist for Best Screenplay was announced just now. Lindsey and Britney both held Sid in their hands, and they looked more nervous than Sid.
Sid didn't let Ali (Emmanuel) apply for the best director of "Little Sunshine Beauty", just like Amy Adams didn't apply for Best Actress, when the competition is too strong and its own resources are limited, it is better to concentrate resources and specialize in a few most certain awards for a film like "Little Sunshine Beauty", which is represented by small costs.
But Ali (Emmanuel) and Shirley (Sandberg) and others were persuaded to finally get Sid to agree to apply for best director. After all, the youngest nominee for Best Director in history, this title is just too tempting. Sid and Shirley (Sandberg), who have always been calm, couldn't help but be moved.
"Next, there are ...... finalists for the Oscar for Best Director" Kevin Spacey took out the envelope, the list of Best Directors of this era is not as "flooded" as it was later, with only four places.
Kevin Spacey opened the envelope and read: "Stephen Spielberg, "Saving Private Ryan," Peter Weir, "Truman's World," Terrence Malick, "The Thin Red Line," ......"
At this point, Kevin Spike suddenly stopped mischievously, and then he looked at the camera with an expression that seemed to imply something. Seeing his expression, everyone in front of the TV couldn't help but hold their breath.
There can't really be that kid, right?
Everyone in Hollywood couldn't help but think in their hearts.
John Madden, Shakespeare's Love History. Kevin Spacey replied with a flat expression, bowed his head and read out the final result, as if the person who had just deliberately made a hinting expression was not him, and the actor-level acting skills really opened Sid's eyes.
"Damn, this Kevin Spacey is so bad!" Lindsay said, waving her little fist.
"That's it, I wish him a lifetime of wilting when he sees a man. "Britney, you're bad at learning.
Sid smiled and patted the hands of the two women, "It's normal that there are no nominations, there are too many good films this year." ”
"If there are five nomination spots, then Brother Sid, you will definitely get it. Lindsey said.
"Well, that's a real possibility. Jeremy (Reina) couldn't help but reconcile.
