Chapter 514: Surprise VS Loss
The host of this year's Oscars is Hugh Jackman. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Australia's 'Uncle Wolf' has not declined because of the absence of Wolverine in this life, he is still famous, and he is still rising because of other movies.
Shortly after the opening, Hugh Jackman teamed up with Beyoncé Norris to perform the show "Musicalisback" at the awards ceremony.
For Beyoncé, who likes to wear panties to show big/fart/stock/, Wang Meng has seen it.
The performance of the two was very exciting, although Wang Meng felt that it was just like that.
However, the applause at the scene and the follow-up reports showed that the two performed well.
Maybe it's a cultural difference, right?
Hugh Jackman not only has wonderful acting, but also has good hosting skills, constantly ridiculing the actors who are doing it to liven up the atmosphere, and he doesn't let it go at all compared to ordinary talk show hosts.
The first award was the Joan Hersholt Humanitarian Award, which was won by Jerry Lewis.
And then -
Best Costume Design Award - Michael O'Connor, "The Duchess"
Best Editing Award - "Slumdog Millionaire", the beginning of the sky, the first award.
Best Documentary Feature - "The Tightrope Walker".
Best Documentary Short Film - "Smiling Pinki".
Until there was a nomination for "The Matrix" - the Best Cinematography Award.
The 81st Academy Award nominees for Best Cinematography are Deborah Harper's "Changeling", Claudio Miranda's "Rejuvenation", Anthony Dodd Manto's "Rich and Poor", Wylie Pfister's "Batman: The Night Knight", and Kevin Solo's "The Matrix". ”
When the award presenters announced the list of nominations, the atmosphere at the scene was a little tense.
Not to mention anything else, "Slumdog Millionaire", "Rejuvenation", "The Matrix" and "Batman: The Dark Knight" will all compete for this award, which can be imagined.
In the previous awards, "Slumdog Millionaire" has won the Best Editing Award, which can be regarded as the top prize.
However, Wang Meng is not very confident, how can he say it?
After all, it's not an award-winning literary film, but a science fiction film.
"Batman - The Dark Knight", which is much higher than his own box office, is not as nominated as "The Matrix".
It's not that The Dark Knight isn't good, but it's less substantial, much less than the philosophy and warnings of The Matrix.
Not only the audience, but also the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV was nervous.
Support everything is there. However, there are many points that support "The Matrix" and "Batman: The Dark Knight". Who called Hackers and Batman a commercial blockbuster?
After all, commercial blockbusters are well-known.
Nominations for Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Foreign Language Film, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, these seven nominations, to be honest......
There are only a few things that Wang Meng is a little confident in, that is, the nomination of foreign language films and the best visual effects, and nothing else.
"The winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Cinematography is Anthony Dodd Manto's "Slumdog Millionaire", congratulations to Anthony, congratulations to "Poor Millionaire", congratulations to ......"
Sure enough, the award went to Slumdog Millionaire, and it was Anthony Dodd Manto.
Anthony Dodd Manto, amid the applause of "Boom la la ......", walked onto the podium after hugging Danny Boyle, director of "Slumdog Millionaire".
"Hey man, don't be discouraged, we're just as good. Looking at Kevin Solo, who was a little lost, Wang Meng comforted.
"Director Wang, I know, after all, we are science fiction movies, but my first nomination, this is my lifelong dream, a little disappointed. Kevin smiled miserably, but it was ugly.
Wang Meng understands Kevin's feelings, especially for an award like the Oscars, who can completely let it go, right?
However, the crew of "The Matrix" didn't feel sad for long, and a big surprise, a surprise that Wang Meng didn't expect, came.
"The winner of the 81st Academy Award for Art Direction is "The Matrix". ”
The ......scene erupted in warm applause.
The footage of "The Matrix" flashed on the big screen, and everyone seemed to relive that crazy time, watching the plot on the screen, and the applause was even more enthusiastic.
"Brother Meng's "The Matrix" won the award, the first one. ”
"Finally won the award, haha, not bad. ”
"The art director award, it seems that Yuan Heping accepted the award, right?"
At this moment, the audience in front of the TV, especially the Chinese audience, was boiling over it.
Just like we like something, whether it is reasonable or not, we want to get everything we like.
Fans who like Wang Meng at this moment are the same, the loss of the best photography makes them very upset, and the acquisition of the best art direction makes them very happy.
"Congratulations to the eighth master, you go up to receive the award. Wang Meng said to Yuan Heping with a smile. The surrounding crew members also congratulated Yuan Heping.
Although art direction is a film award, not a personal award, it is Yuan Heping who has contributed the most, as well as Ye Jintian and others who have worked with Wang Meng many times, and Yuan Heping also received it on his behalf.
This eighth master, who galloped to Hong Kong martial arts instructors decades ago, slowly walked onto the podium.
Words of thanks are always so insignificant, and words of thanks seem a bit repetitive.
However, the last sentence of the eighth master lit up: "Thank you to the director Mr. Wang Meng, in addition, the sequel to "The Matrix" has begun, we will continue to create classics, and we will not disappoint everyone." ”
"Haha......" Wang Meng laughed below, and the eighth master can be regarded as advertising "Hacker".
The camera followed all the way, and it was not until Yuan Heping Wang Meng, Michael, Lawrence and others hugged and congratulated one by one that an award was completed.
"The first one, how many do you guess?" Scarlett was also very happy to see the award, obviously forgetting Wang Mengmu's behavior just now, and asked again.
"Uh, two or three?" asked Wang dreamily.
Obviously, the award that is not played according to reason makes Wang Meng a little confident.
The original version of this art direction is "Rejuvenation", and now it is his own.
"Two or three, that's fine. Scarlett was easily satisfied, and after listening to Wang Meng's answer, she nodded with satisfaction.
The awards continued......
Best Original Screenplay Wang Meng was not selected, and Dustin Lance Black won "Milk".
If this is still acceptable to everyone, then the next Best Visual Effects Award is a bit inexplicable.
"The Matrix", which created bullet time, was unexpectedly defeated?
"Rejuvenation", "Batman - The Dark Knight", "The Matrix", three films competed, and the award was not two sci-fi commercial films, but "Rejuvenation" with miraculous makeup technology.
"Wow!" When the award presenters announced the list, even the scene was stunned for a while.
Of course, it's not that "Rejuvenation" is bad, it's not.
"Rejuvenation" is also amazing, and the makeup technology is also a classic template.
But "The Matrix", which created bullet time, was too popular before.
So much so that everyone was very uncomfortable when they were defeated.
Not to mention anything else, the crew of "Rejuvenation" felt incredible, the previous art director was "The Matrix" who cut them down, but the retribution was unhappy, and they returned after a while.
Even the award-winning guests were blindfolded and said, "God, that's incredible, of course we deserve it, but ...... "The Matrix" and "The Dark Knight" are also very good, and it's an honor to be a rival to them. ”
The incoherent guest of honor walked off the podium after thanking him.
However, the audience in front of the TV and the live broadcast on the Internet are fryers.
"Is the Oscar confused? It wasn't "The Matrix" that got the visuals? It's unbelievable!!"
"A bunch of guys in the academy just look down on science fiction and really look down on them. ”
"Dog/, it's unreasonable. ”
……
"Director Wang, it's not ours?"
"yes, let's try it next time. Wang Meng couldn't figure it out.
But it can't be helped, isn't it?
The dust has fallen, and it is doomed, and there is no way.
…… (To be continued.) )
