Chapter 651: Best Actor
"I've lost several awards in front of me, can I get this one?"
In the discussion area of the Internet, Murphy's fans are a little worried that after "Diego Rose" got off to a good start, it went all the way to the black, and then did not win a single award, and Murphy also lost to "The Artist" in the Best Original Screenplay, which made those who were originally full of confidence now begin to doubt the fairness of the Oscars again.

"This time the Oscars are shady, and Murphy is in danger."
In the eyes of fans, as long as the winner is not his favorite object, it is abnormal.
"You can't just give the crew of Diego Rose a best cinematography as a consolation, right? The guys at the academy used to do that a lot! β
"That's right! Just give Murphy a consolation technical award, and then continue to let him accompany him all the way......"
Murphy's fans are visibly worried, worried that the academy will treat Murphy and his films the same way they have done past Oscars.
The atmosphere in the discussion area gradually froze, and even Daisy didn't know what to say.
However, like all Murphy's other fans, she switched back to the Oscars live webpage as soon as possible, waiting for Seth Rogen to announce the award for Best Editing.
In the Dolby Theatre, although it was Seth Rogan of the Stanton Party who stood on the stage, but James Franco was in front of Margot Robbie, few people would think that the organizers invited the members of the Stanton Party to present awards to the Stanton Party members.
Murphy sat in his place, looking very calm, Gal Gadot next to him was a little anxious, holding one of his hands tightly, Margot Robbie on the other side was also nervous, holding Gal Gadot's other hand hard, Robert Downey Jr. frowned, looking at Seth Rogen on the stage, Murphy's past experience of running with him at the Oscars, scenes flashed in front of his eyes.
The entire crew of "Diego Rose" seemed to be holding their breath, they had lost several awards one after another, and they couldn't help but suspect that the Academy and the Oscars didn't want to see them like this? Could it be that so much effort by the crew has been in vain?
In the back position, Carla Firth, dressed in a smart lady's suit, tilted her head and looked at the stage, wasn't it enough that she and Murphy had done so many things together, especially by making full use of the power outside the Catholic circle?
Wrong! Carla Firth thinks back to the judges she came into contact with, and they were very, very unhappy with the interference of outside forces in Hollywood's filmmaking freedom!
"The winner of Best Editing is ......" Seth Rogan opened the envelope, looked down at the card, and the biggest smile on his fat face was stacked, and then read the answer, "Murphy Stanton - 'Diego Rose'!" Congratulations, Murphy! β
βYesοΌβ
Robert Downey Jr. raised his arms and shouted, Murphy clenched his fist and recovered twice hard, this award is really too important!
The Dolby Theater fell silent for this extremely brief moment, as if it couldn't believe that the person who had been running the Oscars for nearly ten years was going to become the winner of the Oscars?
The best cinematography and best editing were all won by the crew of "Diego Rose", and under normal circumstances, what this means is well known to those in the circle.
The Diego Rose crew was the first to burst into applause, which seemed a bit monotonous in the huge Dolby Theatre, but then the applause rang out from all directions, and finally converged into a raging river.
Murphy turned his head and kissed Gal Gadot, then stood up and clapped his hands with the members of his team one by one, and walked straight towards the Oscar stage, this is not the first time he has won the Oscar, but he is extremely excited, because this Best Editing Golden Man proves that it is not useless to do so much before, and the Academy and the Oscars have no intention of letting him continue to run with him, and it is very likely that he will take away one or two important awards later, and in the competition for Best Director and Best Picture, he is already ahead of the competitor "The Artist"!
Watching Murphy approach the stage, Harvey Weinstein's face grim, things are going completely different from what he envisioned, and there seems to be a trend beyond his control.
"Damn it!" He cursed in his heart, "What are those damn old men thinking? β
Although he cursed in his heart, Harvey Weinstein's face was relatively calm, after all, he had not lost to the Oscars in the past, and he did not lose unaffordably.
What's more, it's not yet the end, and it's not certain who will win tonight!
Murphy walked onto the stage, took the golden figure from Seth Rogan, hugged him, and then stepped over to the microphone.
"Thank you!" Murphy was confident that he would make a comeback, so he said as succinctly as possible, "Thank you to the Academy and Oscar, thank you Seth for the good luck you brought me, his luck has always been good, thank you to everyone on my team and crew, I love you!" Thank you! β
After speaking, Murphy turned his head and walked towards the exit position on the side of the stage, probably because he didn't expect his acceptance speech to be so short, and many people under the stage were stunned, and then there was warm applause.
Watching Murphy and Seth Rogan walk and chat backstage, Robert Downey Jr. said to the surrounding crew, "This is not a testimonial prepared by Murphy, he kept it when he won the best director!" β
There was a burst of laughter all around, and the atmosphere of the "Diego Rose" crew was completely different from what it had just been, with almost everyone with a smile on their faces, knowing that they might be the biggest winner of the night.
"Honey, are you ready for your acceptance speech?" Margot Robbie turned to Gal Gadot and asked, "You're the producer of this film." β
The Oscars stipulate that the names of two producers can be nominated for Best Picture, and the names of Gal Gadot and Murphy hang behind the producers nominated for Best Picture for "Diego Rose".
"It's okay, the crew has to go on stage together anyway." Gal Gadot is in a good mood right now and jokes with Margot Robbie, "You'll stand behind me and teach me how to say it." β
As the awards continued, Daisy switched to the discussion board, and the previous coldness had long since disappeared, replaced by a lively message.
"This time the best director and the best picture are very promising, right?"
"Don't think about it, it's all Murphy's! "Diego Rose" has all the Best Actor, Best Director and Best Picture in the back! β
"Robert Downey Jr. is a bit of a hanger, after all, he has starred in superhero movies and is almost Tony Stark's face in the real world."
"Donnie doesn't care, as long as Murphy can get the best director, I'm satisfied!"
"What are Murphy's chances of winning Best Director and Best Picture?"
Seeing this question, Daisy thought for a while and analyzed, "Referring to the past Oscars, it should be more than 70%!" β
"It's only 70 percent?"
"Seventy percent is already a big odd!"
Backstage at the Dolby Theatre, Murphy is giving a routine interview to reporters.
"Do you think you can get the best director?" A reporter from ABC TV asked.
"Who knows...... Murphy shrugged his shoulders and said, "but I think tonight is the best chance in years." β
The reporter was about to ask a question, but Murphy shook his head, signaling that there was no need to continue the interview.
The reporter across from him didn't insist, he had covered the Oscars for years and knew full well that Murphy might be back soon.
Turning through a door into the hallway that led to the main hall, where Seth Rogan was still waiting for him, Murphy reminded, "Let's hurry up and get in, or we'll miss out on Best Actor." β
Although Robert Downey Jr. has little advantage, and even has a minus halo because of his role as a superhero, judging from tonight's situation, he may not be without the possibility of winning Best Actor.
Probably after a long backstage delay, when Murphy returned to the main hall, Billy Crystal began to talk about the stage again.
Frankly, tonight's Oscars are filled with too many nostalgic parts, and if it weren't for Billy Kristol, I'm afraid it would be even more boring.
"How?" Murphy shoved the golden figure to Gal Gadot and asked, "Where's the progress?" β
Gal Gadot took it and looked at it and said, "Just after the award of Best Actress, Meryl Streep took the award for "The Iron Lady". β
"Hmm."
Murphy nodded, and looked over at Harvey Weinstein, who seemed to be the winner.
Then, he looked at Robert Downey Jr., who pursed his lips, clearly waiting for something.
The next award is Best Actor!
Natalie Portman, the last Oscar for Best Actress, has stepped onto the stage.
"This presenter is a bit special."
Robert Downey Jr. suddenly jumped out of a sentence, and Murphy shook his head, "It's good to get the award, it doesn't matter who he presents the award is!" β
"I'm honored to present the list of Best Actor winners this year."
Natalie Portman turned to the big screen and introduced, "The nominees are: George Clooney - Posterity, Brad Pitt - Moneyball, Demien Bizier - A Better Life, Jean Dujardin - The Artist, Robert Downey Jr. - Diego Rose!" β
Previously, Meryl Streep won the Best Actress, which gave Harvey Weinstein a lot of confidence, and at this moment looking at Natalie Portman on the stage, she thought that Jean Dujardin's chances of winning the award were at least more than sixty percent!
As for Robert Downey Jr., a person who has played a superhero still wants to win the Oscar for Best Actor? The chances are not impossible, but too low and too low.
He felt that Jean Dujardin had a completely better chance of winning the award than Meryl Streep.
"The best actor tonight is ......" Natalie Portman's eyes swept over the crew of "Diego Rose" and immediately saw Murphy, but her acting skills were superb, her expression did not change at all, she took out the card and looked down, and immediately said, "Robert Downey Jr., Diego Rose!" β
