Every fan is excited to be able to witness this era with their own eyes~~ No matter what the result of this time, it will be the most glorious one of the Oscars in history~~!

With the magnificent opening music on the scene, the red carpet ceremony of the 80th Academy Awards was officially opened, under the dense flashing lights, the first to appear on the red carpet tonight was the crew of "Juno", only 20-year-old Alan Peggy appeared with a sunny smile, which made fans and reporters boil, this sweetheart baby is the new favorite of Hollywood~~

In the dress of an energetic girl wearing jeans and a T-shirt, Ellen Page looks like a girl next door, she is a little shy when she participates in this kind of big scene for the first time, and she is a little nervous in the face of the flash greeting of reporters on the spot, in front of the interview camera, the girl who just turned 20 years old 3 days ago said modestly to fans in the world:

"Wow...... It's amazing, I never thought I'd be standing here, it's like a dream, I really didn't expect to be nominated for an Oscar...... I feel like I'm so lucky now. ”

There were 512 reporters from 129 countries around the world to report on the scene, and the number of reporters participating in this event reached 1,678, breaking the record just set last year, which can be described as unprecedented.

Jon Stewart, the host of the red carpet, excitedly said to the camera: "Wow~ We can see that this is really the biggest event of the year in the film industry, and we are here to pay tribute to all the wonderful films and actors participating in this year~~ We can see that there are a lot of cross-border cultures at this year's conference, and filmmakers from China, India, and the United Kingdom have never appeared in the Oscars with such a strong attitude~~."

And this year, 43 TV stations in the world also broadcast the ceremony live~~ The power in the movie is radiating to the whole world~~~"

Yes, at this moment, the scene is being transmitted to all parts of the world through TV signals, including China, because Li Xiaole, the mainland director, has been shortlisted for 11 Oscar awards for the first time, CCTV has also broadcast live on the movie channel and Sina Live, and netizens are excited to cheer for Li Xiaole in the text section.

"Li is crazy and mighty~! This year, Ang Lee's "Lust and Caution" was not shortlisted for any award, and Li Crazy is the only Chinese seedling~! Come on~~"

""Life of Pi" was shortlisted for eleven items~! This is a record break for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! This time, we must surpass the records of the four awards of "Iron Man" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"~! Fight for mainland filmmakers! ”

Only a few netizens left a message calmly: "Although "Youth Pi" has been shortlisted a lot this time, the opponent this time is too strong, as long as you can win two, it will not be a loss~~Everyone calm down~ Don't wait for not winning the award and scolding people~"

Bai Yansong, the host of the Oscar live special program of the movie channel, also commented objectively:

"Although the call for "Life of Pi" is very high this time, and the shortlisted 11 items are to cheer up our mainland filmmakers, I think we still have to stay sober, most of the Oscar judges are Americans, I believe that at the same level, they will naturally vote for their own people, after all, except for Ang Lee, a director educated in the United States, Asian directors have never won an award at the Oscars, if Li Xiaole is elected best director, then for Hollywood people, It's like seeing a black president in the United States, it's going to be incredible~~

Saying that, Bai Yansong turned his head and asked Feng Xiaogang, the special guest commentator of the live broadcast next to him, and said, "Director Feng Xiaogang, do you think Director Li has the possibility of winning the two awards of Best Director and Best Film this time?" ”

"I don't think it's very likely." Feng Xiaogang shook his head very dryly:

"After all, the Oscar is not an international award, it is an internal circle award in the United States, just like the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Award we have here, do you imagine, if Spielberg comes to China to participate in the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards, can we give him the Best Director Award? I don't think it's possible, so I'm leaning for Life of Pi to win a few technical awards, such as Best Visual Effects and Best Cinematography, which are well deserved. ”

When the two were talking about how many awards Li Xiaole could win on TV, there were also two votes in the Sina live broadcast room, one was "How many golden statuettes do you think Li Xiaole can win tonight", and the other was "Can he win one of the best directors and best film?" ”

Among the 20.80,000 selections, only 12.1 percent chose "Li Xiaole can win more than 4 Oscar awards, breaking the record of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" and becoming the No.1 of Chinese directors" and "Li Xiaole will win the best director and one of the best films." ”

The 34.9 percent people only agreed with the former item, and the rest of them chose "Li Xiaole won less than 4 awards" and "He is too young to win the best director and best picture." ”

In the canteen hall of China Film Company, Han Sanpin, Han Xiaoli, Ha Zhiyuan, Ning Hao, Jiang Wen, and Wei Xiao all gathered in front of the TV to watch this live show in the early hours of the morning.

"Why hasn't Director Xiao Li come out yet? Could something be wrong with him? Jiang Wei walked around with his hands behind his back, it was rare and a little anxious, this was the first time that this domineering filmmaker had joined in this fun with a large group of people, in order to cheer him on.

In Hong Kong, TVB, Japan's Fuji TV, Taiwan's Bada, and South Korea's KBS are all broadcasting the same signal, and they have worked with Li Xiaole, Zhou Yunfa, Zhang Guorong, Wei Desheng, Li Dongxu, Li Junji...... All these people are waiting in front of the TV for Li Xiaole to appear, this night Li Xiaole not only represents himself, but also carries the dreams of countless Asian filmmakers~~

In the shot, Adrenee Frantes is wearing a golden fishtail floor-length dress, Anne Hathaway makes an elegant appearance in a one-shoulder red dress, Heidi Klum's delicate red dress shows her proud figure, Jessica Alba shows her elegant temperament in pregnancy and walks the red carpet, Renee Zellweger is glamorous, and Jennifer Hudson's pure white dress is beautiful and picturesque......

In this "fashion road to the Oscars", a charming actress who has attracted the hearts and souls of fans around the world competed on the red carpet, making fans excited.

In contrast, the appearance of the powerful people in this award ceremony is another scenery, and British director Danny Boyle led the 12 Indian-American actors of "Slumdog Millionaire" to appear with great momentum.

"Wow~ They are really a big team, these Indian guys will be the strongest contenders for the major awards tonight, in the previous interviews with major film critics, everyone is very optimistic that "Slumdog Millionaire" can win the best director, two awards for best picture~~ They are undoubtedly one of the biggest favorites tonight."

The host Jon Stewart was also extremely excited to take the microphone and ask Danny Boyle: "Danny, welcome to Hollywood, welcome to the Oscars~"

"It's really beautiful today, to be able to invite so many people from the crew to come~~It's really good~ We created this movie like a family~~" Danny Boyle looked excited, and his speech was a little slurred.
