Chapter Eighty-Three: A Little Silence

Of course, this business card is not used by Lance to play treasures, and the back of the business card is full of names that he will forget and need to be thankful for - Academy Academy is of course first, then Fire Lion Pictures, producer Henry.

"And, of course, Sid Leonhardt, he's a great partner. Hey man, when you first approached me for 'Curfew,' my first impression was, 'Well, another kid who doesn't know the sky.'" Lance's words caused the audience to burst into laughter, and Lance was the first to bury his own director so "unscrupulously" on the Oscar stage.

Sid and the others around him couldn't help but lean back in laughter.

But as he spoke, Lance became more excited, and he tightly tugged at the little golden man in his hand: "You drag me on this journey, this is a wonderful and rugged journey, we will slaughter the evil dragon and climb the peak together." ”

The otaku testimonial of Lance's image couldn't help but cause laughter from the audience, but Lance was engrossed in raising the little gold figure in his hand: "In the end, you brought us unimaginable treasures." Sid, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't be standing here today, this award belongs to you. ”

When Sid heard this, he couldn't help but fold his hands excitedly, his palms against his chin and lips, and his expression was calm but his eyes were radiant looking like his old partner on the stage.

In the end, under the "confession" of Lance holding up the little golden man, Sid couldn't help but put his hands on his lips and came to an unexpected "flying kiss".

The celebrity audience at the scene couldn't help but be stimulated by this touching and loving scene.

Lance's speech dwarfed some of the previous winners, and he later thanked his girlfriend and family, and finally stepped down to the sound of music and applause.

Helen Mirren, who came on later, brought that this year is the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Oscars documentary, so the academy is also very nostalgic for the occasion to make a documentary editing.

From pre-World War II documentaries to the anti-war ideology of the Vietnam War, from Martin Luther King Jr.'s historic speeches to the horrors of the atomic bomb, from the first rocket to the first moon landing.

From the top of the universe to the depths of the ocean, from the vast earth to the small man, although this short film is not long, it seems to condense the big and small bits and pieces of the past 60 years, and in such a day, it seems to have extraordinary weight.

A few weeks ago, Charlize Theron, who was still very young at the time, presented 24 technical and scientific trophies to the old men of the academy to reward engineers and creatives who have truly contributed to technology.

The academy usually selects some distinctive new actresses to present these awards, and these people have to be awarded, but they can't really be on stage on Oscar night.

Therefore, choosing a young, beautiful, and charismatic actress is a technical job, and the really famous ones will definitely not be willing to go, and the winners who are not famous at all will also feel despised by them.

And Charlize Theron, 28 years old this year, happens to be the most suitable candidate for this condition.

Oh, and by the way, this year's Oscars also have a new "innovation" - they have added the Best Animated Film award to reward the best of the best animated films in feature films.

Then, Matthew Broderick, who played Simba's voice in "The Lion King", came to the stage to present this new "award".

Matthew Broderick is also a well-known comedian, and his opening scene was as cheerful as ever, and after his series of jokes, he finally began to introduce this year's shortlisted films.

Only three films have been nominated this year – DreamWorks' Shrek, Pixar's Monsters, Inc., and Blue Sky Studios' Madagascar.

This year, the academy also set up several "empty seats" on site to accommodate the 3D characters who appear in the picture through the camera.

"Monster Inc.'s Blue-Haired Sully and Big-Eyed Mike sit in a funny position, "Madagascar" Alex the Lion and Zebra Marty are excited, and "Shrek" Shrek and Donkey even wear a black suit and black bow tie.

Today, Chris Witch and other main creative staff also arrived at the scene, and they sat in slightly thicker positions with other colleagues, for them, it was already a surprise to be able to add the "Best Animation Award" this year.

In this fast-changing industry, no matter who wins the award, it's a good thing for everyone.

Of course, if it's your own side that wins the prize, that's even better!

Everyone thought about it as they looked at the stage with a smile.

Matthew Broderick tore open the golden envelope, "Shrek and the donkey!"

I'm going to ——, and even present the award so "casually", okay?

Sid applauded speechlessly, and of course it was the director of the animation himself who came to the stage to accept the award.

Although "Monster Inc" is indeed brilliant and "Madagascar" is also standard entertainment, only "Shrek" can be regarded as "epoch-making" this year.

Taking iconoclastic and spoof elements beyond the times to the extreme, and leading the trend of the future, "Shrek" definitely belongs to the genre that can be encountered but not sought.

Whether it's Sid or Chris Wetch, they can't help but admire this final result.

The later music, sound effects, and soundtrack awards were awarded quite long, and people unconsciously felt that the Oscars really deserved to be the longest awards ceremony, and there was no one.

And the Best Supporting Actor and other awards during the intermittent period did not even attract Sid's attention, and after knowing the live performance of a long symphony orchestra, the former male god Hugh Grant appeared with the United States to present the "Best Film Score Award".

"Begin Again: The Song Changes Lives", "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", Randy Newman of Monsters, Inc., and "Artificial Intelligence".

In terms of winning, Sid, who was shortlisted for the two films, seemed to have the win, but as he himself said - the award was not a gamble.

Hugh Grant, the "Lord of the Rings," reads the result.

The magnificent music of this fantasy epic, produced by composer Howard Shaw, although his face is smiling and clapping, everyone around Sid can't help but be a little unhappy.

After winning the award for the best cinematography "upset", "Begin Again" has been silent for a long time, although it is only a "worthless" technical award, but looking at the "Lord of the Rings", "Black Hawk Down", and "Moulin Rouge" next to it, it is no wonder that everyone can't help but envy it.
