Chapter 13 Awards

"Some of you may think I'm Queen Elizabeth I, but I can't imagine who that guy would be. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info"This is another year in the Neodymium legend of the Queen of England."

"My grand task tonight is to welcome you to the 71st Academy Awards. At this ceremony, you will see that there are a lot of people who have played me this year. That's right, either the screenwriter writes about me, or the love life for me is exciting. "It's a reflection of this year's Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth I.

"Because my dear, it's all about me!" Whoopi Goldberg remarked, and the audience burst into loud laughter every time.

"I wanted to greet you, but they told me that we were late. This is obviously complaining about the Oscars, and the length of time that has been complained about many times.

"The ceremony was long enough for Sid Leonhardt to be a big adult and then apply for best director. Sid didn't expect Whoopi Goldberg to change his tune and suddenly turn the conversation to himself, which was obviously complaining that the Oscars ignored him in the nomination for Best Director.

This time, the venue immediately resounded with laughter that was far better than just now, and the photographer in the venue had already run to Sid's side and aimed the camera at him, Sid pretended to be innocent and shrugged his shoulders, and his playful expression made many stars in the venue lean forward and backward with laughter.

"Now, it's the biggest night in Hollywood, baby. But to get there, I think we've all learned a lesson, which is to never rush the Queen. ”

"I don't want to be impressed, but I would say that there are many types of reception. So I'll step back and give the stage back to my most loyal people and friend, Elton John. ”

――――――――――――――――――――

After a brief opening, the first award was presented not for Best Supporting Actress, as in previous years, but for Best Art Direction, which was a more technical category. It's clear that the academy wants to put the hot matchup between the old and the young (Judi Dench and Lindsay Lohan) a little later to boost the ratings.

And it can be said that the art direction and the best makeup were divided between "Shakespeare's Love History" and "Elizabeth I", which tell the story of the United Kingdom, and these two films about the same queen have been staged.

And after the awards for the two documentaries were awarded, today's first highlight finally came.

"People say that children are our future. And this year we see them also become Oscar contenders, so let's welcome Lindsay Lohan and Amy Adams from Oscar-nominated films, "Little Miss Sunshine." After a short presentation by Whoopi Gothenburg.

Amy Adams and Lindsay walked on stage arm in arm, although it was the first time they stepped on the stage of the Oscars, but under the consideration of public relations and the main committee, they also gave them a chance to present the award.

Lindsay and Amy Adams' "mother-daughter match" is particularly eye-catching, especially Lindsay's red-haired and blue-eyed cleverness and cuteness, which made the audience laugh and applaud, Meryl Streep also covered her cheeks with heart.

"Lindsay, do you like tonight's movie?" asked Amy Adams with a smile.

"Well, it's okay. Lindsay said with a critical expression, and her cute expression immediately drew a burst of laughter from the audience.

"I'm just a little confused, do we have two Elizabeth Queens, or is Judi Dench Cate Blanchett's grandmother?" Although Lindsay only followed the lines written by a professional screenwriter in advance, her sharp complaint was said by a watery little Lori, and the interesting contrast immediately caused a burst of laughter in the audience.

The camera swept over Cate Blanchett, she could already afford to laugh and lean back, and Judi Dench, who had never been smiling, also showed a rare smile.

"No, if that's the case, it's too dramatic. Amy Adams' answer caused another burst of laughter at the scene.

"Well, let's look at the nominations for the Best Animated Short Film award. Lindsey shrugged and announced.

After the screens of several shortlisted nominated short films were played in turn, Lindsay opened the envelope, drew the results, and read out the name of the winner: "Mrs. Brown Rabbit, Chris Welch!"

When the name of Chris Welch, the current director of Blue Sky Studios, was revealed, he jumped out of his seat in excitement.

Watching him take over the little golden man from Lindsay, Sid suddenly remembered that one of the three giants of European and American animation in the future was now only the director of a small studio. Isn't it time to start ahead of time to expand the scope of 3D animation?

Sid was pondering when he suddenly heard a round of applause, and several more photographers crouched in front of him, aiming their cameras at him. Sid looked up and saw that Lindsay and Amy Adams had already begun to present the list of Best Live Action Short Film awards.

And just played one of Sid's selected short films, "Six Pistol Bullets", introducing the scene of the British uncle who is about to commit suicide in the video, and accidentally drops the gun to the ground. But on the big screen, after Sid suddenly woke up, the appearance of looking up caused everyone to laugh.

Immediately after Sid's second short film selection, "Curfew", an introductory video was aired, showing Lindsay dancing in a fairytale image of a bowling alley, which looks like a unique brilliance.

It is also rare in the audience, and there was a lot of applause for this short film candidate.

"The winner of the Oscar is ......" After Amy Adams pulled out the list in the envelope, Lindsay couldn't help but let out a small scream when she saw it, and the audience couldn't help but let out a good-natured laugh.

The results speak for themselves.

"Curfew, Sid Leonhardt!"

Although I have long been mentally prepared, the fact that two films were selected for the same award is actually a hint.

But after being called by name, Sid couldn't help but be excited for a moment, and then he took a deep breath and stood up, and Jeremy, Ryan Gosling, Zach and others next to him also extended their hands to congratulate him.

After shaking hands with a few people, Sid stepped onto the stage and took the golden figure from Amy Adams. The almost four-kilogram feel made Sid feel a heavy pressure.

"Sorry, my elementary school teacher, said I had trouble concentrating since I was a child. The first thing Sid said was that he had just been out of the world at the Oscars.

The stars in the audience didn't expect Sid to say this after winning the first Oscar in his life, and they were immediately amused.

"And that's why I got into film, because only movies and stories can make me addicted. Sid said with a smile, and his confident words made the stars in the audience laugh.

"'Curfew' is about an imbalance of family and affection, and love and tolerance are the ultimate themes. ”

"I am grateful to the Academy for supporting the short films, because I know that the vast majority of people who make short films are small teams that do not have the funds and resources. Well, except for me. Sid, who was still sensationalizing the endorsement of the weak, suddenly changed his words and blackened himself again.

The stars who didn't react in the audience laughed again.

"And then I want to thank my producer, Henry, and the crew for not having been able to finish this short film without your help. And Charles Shear, thank you for introducing me to the world of cinema. Ali Emmanuel, my agent, has helped me a lot. Jeremy Renner, Amy Adams, you're amazing. And Lindsay Lohan, I love your show!And, thank you!"

Sid said the end, waving his arms excitedly, bowing to the audience, and walking backstage with Amy Adams and Lindsay under the guidance of the guide.

It was the first time Sid had walked backstage at the Oscars, and he looked around curiously, only to see the table in the distance, neatly placed with little golden figures waiting for the winners.

Sid pointed to the dense little golden figures, and said to Lindsay with a smile: "Wow, Lindsay, where is your supporting actress little golden man." ”

"Please, you don't really think I'm going to win a prize. Lindsay rolled her eyes and said, "Since the 80s, there hasn't been an actor under the age of 20 winners. Besides, there are no more youth awards, okay?"

Lindsay was talking about the special youth award given to Shirley Temple, which was discontinued after 1961.

The female guide next to her couldn't help but laugh when she heard the conversation between Sid and Lindsay.

"Look, people are laughing at you for being stupid. Lindsay smirked.

Before Sid could speak, the guide hurriedly waved his hand to deny it, Sid reached out and pinched Lindsay's cheek, and said with a smile: "Okay, don't tease this little Jie anymore." ”

At this time, the guide pointed to a straight passage and said to Sid, "Mr. Leon, you need to take this road and go to the media. ”

"Okay, we'll see you later. Sid nodded, gestured to Lindsey and Amy Adams, and walked into the hallway.

Award presenters can return to their seats or relax backstage. Each winner walks the famous "Winner's Road", where the walls of the lavishly decorated red and gold walkway are hung with photos of the most representative winners in history.

Sid saw a photo of Tom Hanks, a two-time Oscar winner, holding the trophy and overjoyed. There is also a photo of legendary photographer Robert Richardson holding the trophy. Even, Sid also saw that James Cameron, who swept the audience with "Titanic" last year, raised the golden man to celebrate domineeringly.

Seeing the photo of the last king of the world made Sid's blood boil, and when he walked out of the passage, the reporters who had been waiting for a long time all raised their cameras in unison, and the flash light clicked on.

In fact, in terms of the weight of the awards, the best live-action short film has not received so much attention, mainly because the winner is the 18-year-old Hollywood prodigy, Sid Leonhardt.
