Chapter Seventy-Six: Raise Your Eyebrows
During this time, the Oscar nominations also came as scheduled.
Unlike the few encouragement awards when the Golden Globe Awards announced the nominations, Chen Tiandu spent an additional million US dollars for the public relations of "The Sixth Sense". The delivery of the 6,000 collector's dVd alone is enough to set a public relations history for the Oscars, so Chen Tiandu is also very much looking forward to the Oscar nomination.
"Why snuggle up in my house and watch TV, damn it, church-hole don't put your foot on my sand, I just bought it last week." Vin Diesel roared at Kong Yiji. It was a bit terrifying that the muscles were angry, but the few people in the room didn't take him seriously.
This group of unwanted guests came to his house in the middle of the night, emptied his refrigerator as soon as they came, and occupied the whole sand. Kong Yiji said as a matter of course: "Because it's convenient, if we get nominated after watching TV, we will go out to drink directly, and we don't have to wait for anyone." β
Like most single men, Vin Diesel's house is a mess. Chen Tiandu suddenly frowned, took out an undershirt from the sand gap under his buttocks, and said, "Fan, it's time for you to find a girlfriend." β
βFuοΌckοΌβ Fan scolded baldly, snatched it and threw it into the bathroom.
Charlize chuckled from behind, which made Fan's bald face burn. "Curse you, don't get a nomination."
"Thank you for your blessings!" Chen Tian said disdainfully, "Do you think you are a gypsy wizard, your words are destined not to come true." β
Vin Diesel said angrily: "You guessed it. I have astrologer blood, and my mother was an astrologer. Also, this is not a blessing. β
Chen Tiandu frowned, "Man, you're still a wizard, this is really unfriendly." β
Kong Yiji chimed in, "That's right, it's really unfriendly. If you really don't get nominated, it's all your fault. β
"Haha, I don't mind at all." Vin Diesel sneered.
"Hey, gentlemen, can you be quiet, the show is about to start." Kate scolded, and the men arguing in the room immediately shut their mouths. Charlize nibbled on an apple and chuckled again.
With the Oscar statuette logo on aBc TV to the sound of music, the nominees for the 71st Academy Awards were revealed under the auspices of Whoopi Goldberg. The black actress was born in a low-class neighborhood in Manhattan, and her representative works include "Ghosts Are Not Gone", "Nuns Are Crazy", and "Purple". In addition to being busy with movies, she has her own late-night talk show TV show and published a fairy tale. She is one of the more famous and successful black actresses in Hollywood.
She will also be the host of the upcoming 71st Academy Awards at the Los Angeles Music Center on March 21.
Sure enough, as predicted by the previous media, "Shakespeare in Love" and "Saving Private Ryan" are still Oscar favorites. This kind of war epic and nostalgic old film is just right for Oscar's spleen. The former won a total of 13 nominations, only one less than last year's "Titanic", and the latter also won 11 nominations, which can be called the biggest winner of this year's Oscars locked in advance.
In third place is the Italian film "Life is Beautiful", which has been shortlisted for 7 Oscars, which is the most awarded non-English film in Oscar history.
Chen Tiandu should be honored, because "Saving Private Ryan" has been nominated for Best Original Screenplay again, and this is his Oscar nomination. But he obviously doesn't pay much attention to the script nominations in "Deliverance", he cares more about the results of "The Sixth Sense", which he directed and acted.
Perhaps Chen Tiandu's act of handing out 6,000 dVd and exquisite small gift boxes played a role, and when the Best Supporting Actor mentioned Haley Joe Osmond, everyone smiled. This is probably the youngest Best Supporting Actor in Oscar history. The little boy received countless praises for a while, but he was too young, and if he could keep it crooked if he was a little older, it would almost certainly have a bright future.
"Best Supporting Actress nominee, Kate Belcekin, who played Cole's mother in last year's box office champion film "The Sixth Sense", successfully played a purchasing mother who lacks communication with her children with excellent emotional investment......"
"Wow~!"
There was a sudden cheer in the room, and Kate had already froze, and had been in disbelief since she heard her name pop up on TV.
"Kate, you've been nominated, Oscar! Congratulations! Chen Tiandu kissed her on the cheek.
Vin Diesel was also stunned, "I really got the nomination, congratulations to Kate." β
"What?" Kate was still confused.
But they rushed up to her and embraced her.
Charlize was a little jealous, and said reluctantly, "Kate, you must have a few more drinks tonight." β
This is not the last, in addition to being nominated for two acting awards for Best Supporting Actor and Supporting Actress, "The Sixth Sense" was also nominated for Best Picture, and Jeffrey Katzenberg will compete with "Shakespeare in Love", "Saving Private Ryan", "Life is Beautiful", and "The Thin Red Line", and there is little hope of winning.
But it's a blessing to be shortlisted.
The previous media predicted that "Elizabeth" was unfortunately defeated, starring Cate Blanchett, depicting a deep tone, full of danger of the palace political struggle, the legendary Queen Elizabeth I's power and politics and the choice between marriage and love. Several other supporting characters also brought the roles to life. is a movie that is very much in line with the Oscar temperament, but it was defeated. If nothing else, there will be newspaper criticism tomorrow - this is the Oscars.
Host Whoopi Goldenberg was nominated for Best Picture, and joked about the situation that the two giants of DreamWorks are about to see at the Oscars, talking about Katzenberg and Spielberg.
In addition, Chen Tiandu, the best original screenplay, was nominated again for "The Sixth Sense", and finally there was a nomination for the best director of "The Sixth Sense".
A total of five Oscar nominations, none of which are technical, are all significant awards, and the number of nominations is only the fourth highest among many films this year.
As soon as this result was announced, it naturally attracted the attention of all parties.
The Oscar-nominated screenwriter of two consecutive hit movies is actually the same person, whether Chen Tian wants it or not, anyway, he is famous in the screenwriting line.
The most incredible thing is that on "The Sixth Sense", Chen Tiandu was nominated for Best Director.
God, it's not going to be the youngest nomination for Best Director.
Soon someone went to consult the number of jΓΉ libraries, and then exhaled lightly, but fortunately it was not.
In 1989, the 26-year-old "prodigy director" Steven Spielberg won the best picture at the Cannes Film Festival with "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", but at the Oscars the following year, the 27-year-old "prodigy director" could only be nominated for Best Original Screenplay; Today, in 1999, under the umbrella of Spielberg's DreamWorks, Chen Tiandu, a 24-year-old Chinese director, is almost replicating his template, but the result is somewhat opposite.
Spielberg attracted much attention at the Golden Globe Awards, but Chen Tiandu received a cold reception at the Golden Globes. But back at the Oscars, Chen Tiandu was nominated for Best Director in one fell swoop, which is simply two extremes.
It's a pity that he is three months older than John Singleddon, the youngest winner of best director in history, and he can't get the youngest award.
"Oscar-winning director, wow, don't be too sassy." Kong Yiji roared.
Vin Diesel also shook his head with a smile and said, "My curse has not been fulfilled, have I not inherited the bloodline of an astrologer?" β
"Congratulations, dear." Kate kissed him.
"Thank you."
"Dog, dog, lie down, don't get drunk and don't go home~~~" Charlize shouted.
Golden Globes?
Who is still mentioning what Golden Globe Award now.
The two consolation nominations at the Golden Globes once again validated its Oscar vane, and it is clear that the Oscars still favor last year's box office winner, even if it is a horror film.
Many people think that Chen Tiandu can finally raise his eyebrows, even if he has no expectations of winning the award from beginning to end.
No one thinks that the nomination of "The Sixth Sense" is unpopular, because it is the box office champion, and the drooling box office is all won all the way by word-of-mouth, and it has the strength to be nominated.
It's just that the media inevitably brought up the matter of sending a dVd and small gifts to each of the 6,000 Oscar judges during the previous public relations of "The Sixth Sense". But this kind of public relations is above board, and it is really impossible to find out the fault, if you can't get used to it, you can only mutter, "There are enough gifts", or still complain, "Why didn't I think of this trick." β
When he suddenly heard that he had been nominated, Chen Tiandu was also very excited, but he quickly calmed down.
Although he is now the director and starring in a global box office movie with a box office of 600 million, he is actually not very famous in Hollywood, at best he is a lucky newcomer, and he still has a long way to go.
And the best director...... Hehe.
This result is both glorious and sad, because Chen Tiandu faced too many opponents: Steven Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan", Robert Bernini's "Life is Beautiful", John Madden's "Shakespeare's Love History", Peter Weir's "Truman's World", and Mylens Malik's "The Thin Red Line".
It's almost impossible to win a prize, but even so, it's still worth celebrating.
Even so, it's a miracle for the whole of Asia, with an Asian nominated for an Oscar for best director for the first time in history.
The American film awards are not only the Golden Globe Awards and Oscars, all kinds of awards are dazzling, like the kind of popular candidates who sweep the awards, many times it is not clear how many awards they have won. First of all, there are various associations, the Producers Association, the Directors Association, the Actors Association, the Cinematographers Association, and the Screenwriters Association...... There are also countless film critics' associations in Los Angeles, New York, radio, etc., and various awards such as the Saturn Award and the Young Artist Award.
"The Sixth Sense" has swept many award nominations, which is almost a copy of the Oscars.
It is worth mentioning that on January 11, Haley took the lead in winning the Most Breakthrough Performance Award at the American Youth Audience Choice Awards, and the name of a talented teenager spread far and wide.
