Chapter 747: Eight of Eight
"It was ...... who won the Oscar for Best Art Direction"
On the stage, Emma Watson opened the envelope in her hand, glanced down, and immediately said, "Helena Espora, Dark City!" ”
The applause rang out in the Dolby Theater, and Helena Espola stood up, hugged Murphy and others in the crew one by one, and soon walked onto the stage to accept the award. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"The first one!"
When Helena Espola began her acceptance speech, Gal Gadot whispered, "The first golden man has arrived!" ”
Murphy, who was sitting on her left, nodded slightly, and the awards ceremony lasted for more than forty minutes, and the crew of "Dark City" won the first Oscar statuette tonight.
This is not that "Dark City" has a bad start, but that the previous awards are all awards such as Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Costume Design, and "Dark City" has not been nominated at all, and there are no nominations, so naturally there will be no Oscar statuette.
"With the first ......," Margot Robbie to the right of Gal Gadot is confident, "and soon there will be a second!" ”
As if to confirm her words, the next Best Cinematography award, Philip Raschel, who just won two years ago, stood on the Oscar podium again.
Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction before that seemed to open the winning account of "Dark City", and in the next 50 minutes, Murphy's drama became a veritable award harvester, and won six Oscars for Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, Best Editing and Best Soundtrack.
"Eight nominations, eight golden statues......"
Leonardo DiCaprio turned to look at Murphy's side, "Is he really going to be the big winner tonight?" ”
Although he very much did not want to see this situation, he was powerless to prevent it from becoming a reality.
"Eight out of eight!"
On the other side, Angelina Jolie frowned and said to Brad Pitt next to her, "Is the academy really going to give Murphy Stanton the biggest piece of cake again?" ”
"It's just eight technical awards, and they don't add up much better than the Best Supporting Actress we won." Brad Pitt is full of confidence, "The best picture is definitely ours, don't forget our film theme!" ”
Black theme, this is the most powerful weapon he used to hit the Oscars, and before the list of nominees came out, he also instructed some black people in the circle to make trouble, those fools who have no brains can't see it clearly, even if the so-called black film wins, the final winner is not those of them who invest in making movies?
The 100 percent hit rate looks quite amazing, but the Oscars are not without a tragedy of winning first and then losing, after all, the eight little gold statuettes won can be said to be technical awards, and no one can guess whether the academy will share the cake.
But Murphy believes that "Dark City" will be the biggest winner!
On the one hand, host Alan DeGeneres opened with a target for Catholicism, and even deliberately ridiculed that Los Angeles had a sudden rainstorm before the Oscars, and it was some people who deliberately prayed that God would punish Hollywood, but Hollywood would not stop, so the awards ceremony began again.
On the other hand, the theme of this Oscars exudes an air of praise for heroes.
What are the artistic criteria for the Oscars to choose a film? Throughout the history of the past 86 years, it can only be said that Oscar is still very fickle, especially in the past ten years, it sometimes likes heavy and iron-blooded topics, sometimes likes to be noisy and positive, sometimes wants to be close to young people, sometimes feels that the rivers and lakes are old and it is not suitable to pretend to be tender, sometimes funny, sometimes sensational, sometimes social responsibility on his shoulders, and sometimes feels that art still serves art itself......
To put it simply, many times, in the Oscar, the most important award in the American film industry, the theme is more important than the standard, set a theme every year, and select films according to the theme, which may be the most suitable for the Oscar, which is more mainstream and commercial than many other film awards, and it is also a valuable summary to find the most prominent annual entertainment trends and annual collective values from a large number of movies every year.
Shortly after the opening of tonight's awards ceremony, there were scenes of animated hero characters introduced by Jim Carrey and real hero characters introduced by Harrison Ford, revealing the tone of this year's Oscars: The world needs heroes, let's praise these people who give themselves to the world.
"The Dark City" is a film that reflects the hero with a strong realism and philosophical reflection, and in a way, it just reflects the spirit of this Oscar.
Even, Murphy is speculating that because of the previous social situation, those old men in the academy want to express the independence of the Hollywood film industry, and in order to support him and "Dark City", they deliberately released such an Oscar theme.
It is true that the Academy Awards have nearly 6,000 judges, and no one can guarantee that they will affect most of them, but the reason why the old men at the core of the academy are extremely important is that it is the opinions and positions they release that will affect the voting choices of many people.
And these views and positions tend to be the theme of the current Academy Awards.
The theme of this year's edition is particularly evident, showing the importance of real-life heroes.
Murphy calmly sat in his seat and watched host Alan DeGeneres joking on stage.
After the last Oscar host Seth McFarlane played his spoof skills and sang "I've Seen Your Mimi" to many Oscar actresses at the beginning, ridiculing Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and others who kept holding their foreheads with black faces, Oscar quickly reflected: Oscars are not a spit conference, and not all stars are willing to be written into heavy jokes.
Therefore, this year's Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres promised early on that she would not make fun of the stars.
In fact, Ellen DeGeneres' special identity and unique affinity for women make her laugh at anyone - for example, in the previous joke, she made fun of the age of the oldest June Squib, but it was all a laugh and hatred, and it was harmless.
But that doesn't mean this year's Oscars were fun.
In the words of Gal Gadot next to him, tonight's Oscars are more like a test of patience, with a lengthy and tedious process and a very poor design.
Even a great host like Ellen DeGeneres can't make the twilight Oscars fun.
Despite her efforts, the results were very mediocre.
No matter how good a comedian is, there are times when he performs badly, especially on the Oscar stage, which is the most difficult to host.
Ellen DeGeneres didn't have many highlights, most of which were in the audience, such as the fact that she also pulled out a large number of Hollywood celebrities to take selfies and posted them on Twitter, although it looked more like a Samsung commercial, but the crazy Twitter clicks still sparked a lot of interest.
Above the stage, Ellen DeGeneres is once again joking about Jonah Hill's JJ, and then running into the crowd again to cause some buzz, and she tries to recreate the kind of impromptu performance in a talk show, but her "magic" is gone.
The brutal truth is that every unfunny meme at the awards ceremony will make the audience and even the audience in front of the TV look up at the clock - it's a long, long time before the whole awards show is over.
That's right, it's the super lengthy rhythm that drags Alan DeGeneres with a weak heart.
The pace of the ceremony was very slow, and the process of awarding the first award took a lot of time, and then the second award.
Some of the major awards ceremonies today go beyond the live broadcast time, but no other awards show has taken as much time as tonight's Oscars to give the awards, until 11:30 p.m. EST and not even the Best Original Screenplay award.
Among them, the most time-consuming is nostalgia, as a tradition of the Oscars, the awards ceremony often shows some edited clips.
But this year's awards ceremony was filled with too many meaningless and time-wasting clips, most of which told how great the actors of the past were, how great the films of the past were, and it was so boring that it forced the audience to look at their watches.
Not to mention ordinary audiences, Murphy turned his head to look, most of the younger generation of directors and actors are also a little impatient, that is, when the camera lens sweeps over, they will squeeze out a smile.
In fact, it is not difficult to understand that the Oscars and the Academy are always nostalgic for the past and praise the golden age, as if the current directors and actors are weak chickens.
Although the academy does not have this awareness, it is difficult not to make such bad associations.
The constant nostalgia led to a slow pace, which also made some of the jokes of host Alan DeGeneres ineffective, and she even sat in front of the stage with a guitar on one occasion and nothing happened.
The lengthy nostalgic sessions, boring retrospectives of old films took up a lot of time, and Murphy even wondered if the Oscar organizing committee was still counting votes backstage.
The show dragged on for too long, and the male guests said that many women were going to suffer, such as stars like Margot Robbie, who didn't eat dinner at all in order to walk the red carpet, and the red carpet from mid-afternoon to midnight to midnight now, that kind of taste was not pleasant.
In particular, Alan DeGeneres also made a big pizza on stage......
Towards 12 p.m., a long old video finally ended, and the awards ceremony came to the final six awards, after Robert De Niro took the lead in presenting the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, Jessica Alba came to the stage to present the Best Original Screenplay Award!
