Chapter 748: A round of applause
"...... nominated for Best Original Screenplay"
On stage, Jessica Alba turned to the big screen behind her, which was showing the nominees and the film, "'American Hustle,' Eric Seeger and David O. Russell; Nebraska, Bob Nelson; The Dark City, Murphy Stanton; Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen; Dallas Buyers Club, Clegg Bowden and Melissa Voleco. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"
Jessica Alba unpackets, "The winner of the Oscar is Murphy Stanton, 'The Dark City'! ”
There was another round of applause at the Dolby Theater, and Murphy stood up, walked briskly to the stage amid the applause around him, and when he passed by the location of the "Great Gatsby" crew, he vaguely saw Leonardo DiCaprio's slightly annoyed face, but he didn't care at all.
He went straight to the stage and took the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay from Jessica Alba.
"Congratulations, Murphy."
Jessica Alba gently hugged Murphy, who nodded slightly, "Thank you." ”
Murphy then walked to the center of the round stage and said, "Thank you! Thank you Academy, thank you to everyone on the Dark City crew, thank you to my friends and partners, you guys are the best! ”
After saying this briefly, he turned his head and walked backstage.
Backstage, Murphy declined an interview request from an ABC TV reporter and, accompanied by a staff member, entered the special passage and went around the main hall of the Dolby Theatre, where he sat down just as Alan DeGeneres was introducing the award presenters.
"Daniel Day-Lewis, winner of the last Oscar for Best Actor, ......"
The music played, and Daniel Day-Lewis, Hollywood's most atypical actor, walked onto the stage with an envelope.
Margot Robbie, to the right of Gal Gadot, immediately tensed her body because the next thing to be awarded was ...... Best Actress Award!
Thirty feet away from the Dark City crew, Cate Blanchett looked at the Dark City crew, and she knew exactly who her main competitor was.
It's not Sandra Bullock, it's not Amy Adams, it's not Meryl Streep, it's Margot Robbie, who is also Australian!
"Five outstanding women, nominated for Best Actress."
Probably a purpose-built design, the unusually short string of words is in the style of Daniel Day-Lewis, "There are ...... nominees"
The big screen lit up again, "Amy Adams, 'American Hustle'; Sandra Bullock, Gravity; Meryl Streep, "August Orange County"; Margot Robbie, "The Dark City"; Cate Blanchett, Blue Jasmine ”
There was silence in the Dolby Theater, and everyone was waiting for Daniel Day Lewis to announce the final results.
Murphy turned his head to look at Margot Robbie, who was visibly nervous, and grabbed Gal Gadot's hand with one hand.
Then, he glanced at the crew of "Blue Jasmine" again.
The real competitors of "Dark City" in this award are only Cate Blanchett, Amy Adams is not very popular with the academy, Sandra Bullock's face is stiff when she gets a needle, Meryl Streep will continue to break the nomination record, but it is very difficult to win another Best Actress.
On stage, Dennis Day Lewis had already opened the envelope, "Best Actress is...... Margot Robbie, The Dark City ”
Murphy immediately clapped his palms, and everyone around them began to applaud, and the applause quickly spread to the surroundings, eventually converging into an ocean.
Margot Robbie covered her mouth in shock, as if she still couldn't believe that she had won the Oscar for Best Actress, and slowly stood up amid the congratulations around her, hugged the nearest Gal Gadot and Murphy respectively, and then walked to the stage.
Leonardo DiCaprio has a gloomy face and all bad premonitions are coming true.
Not far from him, Carey Mulligan watched with envy as Margot Robbie walked onto the stage, the Australian actress who won the Oscar for Best Actress...... If, if you have been staying by Murphy's side, it should be you who walks up to receive the award at this moment, right?
Kerry Mulligan gave a wry smile.
"Thank you, thank you judges. I...... I really am...... Too...... So excited! ”
Receiving the Oscar statuette handed over by Dennis Day-Lewis, Margot Robbie seemed to be too excited to help herself, "There are so many people I want to thank. ”
She paused, adjusted her breathing slightly, and then said, "I would like to thank Murphy first of all, every time I work with him, I can see my shortcomings and make great progress." I would also like to thank Gal Gadot, you are my best friend and always motivate me to keep moving forward. I want to thank my family, David, Peter, and Lyria, for your care that I will never forget. In closing, I would like to say that it is the atmosphere of independence, freedom and democracy in Hollywood that has made us so successful. ”
As soon as these words came out, they undoubtedly stood on the position of the liberals, and countless cheers rang out at the scene.
Margot Robbie held up the statuette, "Any censorship of Hollywood by any force is interfering with freedom!" ”
No one would have thought that Margot Robbie would say such controversial words on such an important occasion, but there was no argument or ridicule in the Dolby Theater, only a cheer!
No Hollywood film practitioner likes to see those inexplicable censorship under the banner of morality fall on their heads.
The scene resounded with much warmer applause than when Margot Robbie came to the stage to accept the award, and on the side of the crew of "Dark City", everyone stood up, and then all the guests in the front row gave a standing ovation, as if Margot Robbie spoke their hearts!
Murphy was also clapping hard, and no one, including him, liked a mess of censorship.
It is true that Hollywood movies have MPAA classification production, but this is only Hollywood's internal self-examination, and the MPAA's right to speak is in the hands of the six major Hollywood companies, not external forces, such a classification system is very different from the moral review of Hollywood films established by the Church led by the Catholic Church in the last century.
It was precisely because the so-called moral censorship was smashed that Hollywood films really embarked on the fast track to dominate the world film market.
Every country has a certain amount of censorship in film and television, but to be fair, no one in the relevant industry likes overly restrictive restrictions.
For example, when Murphy was still on the other side of the Pacific, he used his summer vacation to work at a film and television company, although he was engaged in the lowest level of miscellaneous work, but he also saw the extremely exaggerated and harsh censorship that the company faced when preparing a TV series.
A TV series that reflects ordinary people doing business and starting a business needs to be reviewed by six departments.
During the project establishment process, one of the main characters of the TV series went abroad to work and needed to be reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security; The small merchant and hawker were arrested by the Administration for Industry and Commerce and asked the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to review it; The characters in the play go to northern Shaanxi to fight for oil, and they have to be reviewed by the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Energy, and the Central Propaganda Department; Farmers who are ignorant and understand that import and export business must also be examined by the Ministry of Commerce......
At that time, Murphy was dumbfounded, although many so-called ministries and commissions are not the kind of big scissors, just a stamp can be stamped, but I believe many people know how difficult it is.
If similar censorship falls on Hollywood, I'm afraid most of the practitioners in this circle will go crazy en masse.
Just when Murphy was thinking about it, Jennifer Lawrence, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Actress, stepped onto the awards stage and prepared to present Best Actor.
Leonardo DiCaprio immediately cheered up, even though he knew that his chances of winning the award were small, but who would not want to take away the little golden man who was nominated?
James Franco was calm, and although he hadn't won Best Actor before, he wasn't as nervous as Margot Robbie before.
"It's a great honor to present the next award."
Jennifer Lawrence seems to pay special attention to the underside of her feet, "The performances of these five nominated actors are all very infectious and mesmerizing, and ...... have been nominated for Best Actor"
She turned her head to look at the big screen, "Matthew McConaughey, Dallas Buyers Club; Chiwet-Ejioot, 12 Years a Slave; Christian Bale, "The American Hustle"; Leonardo DiCaprio, The Great Gatsby; James Franco, The Dark City! ”
Murphy is calm, and James Franco has a better chance of winning Best Actor than Margot Robbie's Best Actress!
The CAA basically didn't put much resources into Matthew McConaughey, and it was luck to get the nomination; Chiwet-Ejiofor is too far off seniority, and being nominated for this is more about taking care of the fragile glass hearts of the Black Uncles; Christian Bale's basic public relations is obviously accumulating seniority; Leonardo DiCaprio's chances of winning are lower than Chiwetel Ejiofor......
In Murphy's opinion, James Franco's best actor is the one with the greatest grasp.
Jennifer Lawrence opened the envelope and read out the same answer as Murphy thought, "Tonight's best actor is ...... James Franco, The Dark City! ”
Hearing this name, Leonardo DiCaprio's face instantly turned to ashes, knowing that it was one thing to know that his chances of winning the award were low, and it was another thing to watch his enemies win the award.
But after all, he is a superstar who is used to seeing wind and waves, and before the camera camera sweeps over, he collects his mood, puts on a smiling face, and starts applauding with the others.
