The personable James Franco strode onto the stage and stood in front of the microphone with a charming smile, definitely a handsome guy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

"The five actors competing for Best Supporting Actress have very different voice styles from each other, but four of them are first-time Oscar winners, and they all have indelible talents."

James Franco turned slightly, looked at the big screen behind him, and said, "The finalists for Best Supporting Actress are: Bejenice Bejo - "The Artist", Jessica Chastain - "Help", Octavia Spencer - "Help", Melissa McCarthy - "Bridesmaids", Margot Robbie - "Diego Rose." ”

Murphy turned to look at Margot Robbie, who was holding Gal Gadot's hand tightly, looking very nervous.

For an actress born after the nineties, if she can win a Best Supporting Actress award at this age, her career will inevitably take a big step forward.

Originally, Murphy was not optimistic about Margot Robbie winning the award at all, but the academy found James Franco to present the award, not the one who won the Best Supporting Actor last year, there must be a reason, could it be because of the winner's relationship?

"The Oscar winner is ......" James Franco opened the envelope and read the answer directly, "Octavia Spencer - "Help"! ”

The theater was silent for a second, then erupted in applause.

Margot Robbie exhaled, not particularly disappointed because she had been mentally prepared before, and applauded with Gal Gadot next to her.

Seeing the award-winning older black woman walking towards the stage, Murphy could only sigh secretly, the Oscars are still the Oscars, always so politically correct, always so respectful and loving the old.

If I'm not mistaken, Octavia Spencer is the oldest of all the Best Supporting Actress nominees, and if you think about the nickname for the Best Supporting Actress award, isn't she the most winning?

The Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Actress is nicknamed the Old Age Consolation Award!

Octavia Spencer is old enough to be black......

Losing Best Supporting Actress, which was not in the plan, the crew of "Diego Rose" seemed to be possessed by bad luck, and in the next few awards, they lost Best Makeup and Best Art Direction, both of which lost to Martin Scorsese's "Hugo".

Then came the award for Best Original Screenplay.

Angelina Jolie stood on stage and loudly announced, "The winner of the best original screenplay is ...... Michael Hazanavisius - The Artist! ”

As soon as this result came out, the crew of "The Artist" was thunderous, they had already won the best soundtrack and best sound editing, plus the award for the best original screenplay, and the number of little golden figures they took away reached three!

Murphy noticed that Harvey Weinstein was looking this way again, after all, he was also nominated for Best Original Screenplay for "Diego Rose", and now he directly overtook him in this award, and the big Jewish fat man had a clear smug look in his eyes.

However, compared to the people around him, Murphy seems very calm, he directly meets Harvey Weinstein's gaze, without fear and concession, even if he loses this session, he can make a comeback later, even if he uses age to boil, he can boil Harvey Weinstein to death!

Harvey Weinstein took the initiative to look away, he didn't need to compare his eyes with a loser at all, now the ratio of the "artist" crew to the "Diego Rose" golden man is three to one, Murphy Stanton has no performance except for one award at the beginning, and has lost three nominations.

"Looks like the academy is ready to let him run away again." Bob Weinstein, who was next to him, whispered, "So throw the Diego Rose crew a best cinematography as a comfort." ”

Harvey Weinstein nodded his head, "It's very likely." ”

The award ceremony is still going on, and in the discussion area of the Internet, many people are complaining, on the one hand, they are dissatisfied with Murphy's crew not winning the award again, and on the other hand, the award ceremony has become the old tune again, which is a little boring.

"After the first fifteen minutes, except for Billy Kristol's jokes, it was boring."

"It's political correctness again, and it's comforting the elderly, is there any mistake, this is Hollywood's most important film award, and it's not the Association of Respecting and Loving the Elderly!"

"The academy says it changes every year, but it's always the same when it changes, and it's nostalgic to change the way, who still remembers those old films!"

Seeing this, Daisy thought about it for a while and wrote in the discussion area, "There is another reason, the films that were nominated are too unfamiliar, "Hugo", "The Descendants", "The Tree of Life", "The Artist", ...... How many have you seen? ”

There were a lot of responses.

"I haven't seen any of it, so I'm very indifferent to the awards."

"I've watched "Descendants", but I quit without watching it, it's too boring."

"Yes, I've seen it too, and it's slower than the pace of 'Diego Rose.'"

Daisy analyzed these people, "You haven't seen the movies, you don't think these movies are good, naturally you are not interested in whether they win awards or not, and you will be bored." ”

If it weren't for Murphy, she wouldn't be here watching the Oscars.

In the Dolby Theater, awards were awarded one after another, and films such as "The Descendant", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", and "Midnight in Paris" have all gained something, but the ratings of the Oscars are declining.

It is undeniable that, in addition to jokes, the Oscars like nostalgia the most, which is also in line with the appetite of the core members of the academy, and every Oscars ceremony is always full of nostalgic episodes for a long time.

For viewers who are not too old, this nostalgic plot always tastes like chewing wax.

Nielsen Statistics has been monitoring the ratings for this year's Oscars, and when Sean Connery took the stage, the big screen and television set of the show turned to black and white, and the ceremony was once again nostalgic, a Nielsen official kept reporting the number of viewers.

"The number of viewers in North America has dropped from 35 million to 31 million......"

After a minute, the program that missed the golden age was still being broadcast for a long time, and the person in charge reported again, "It's 29 million now!" ”

Every minute that passes, he will report the number of viewers, and the number proves that the old time period is really not very popular, which can be called a killer of ratings, "28 million, 27 million, 26.5 million, 26 million, about to break through the minimum number of viewers of the Oscars in the last ten years!" ”

Fortunately, the program that missed the golden age lasted for more than five minutes and ended, and the subsequent Best Supporting Actor slowly pulled up the ratings.

The academy is obviously not stupid, knowing that the audience doesn't like this type of show, and deliberately arranged to save the scene with the award for Best Supporting Actor, which also shows the stubborn and conservative side of the academy, even if it knows that nostalgia is not popular, it still stubbornly puts this type of program in the awards ceremony, and it took more than five minutes.

At the moment when the gray-haired Christopher Plummer won the Best Supporting Actor statuette with "Beginner", which most people have never heard of, the Oscars finally returned to more than 30 million viewers.

This can be said to be a very serious situation faced by the Oscars in the new century, with the flow of information and the increase in entertainment methods, the ratings of the awards ceremony have been declining, and even hit a new low since the seventies.

In fact, it is not difficult to save the ratings of the Oscars, and choosing a movie with a wider audience will easily solve this problem, for example, since the nineties, the highest rating is the 70th Academy Awards, and "Titanic" easily holds up the ratings of the entire awards ceremony.

It's just that the academy made it, and most of the time, it is contrary to the average audience.

Although a Best Supporting Actor dragged the viewership back to more than 30 million, he was unable to take it to a higher place, and the task of saving the ratings of this Oscar is by no means something that a movie like "Beginner" that may not reach one million viewers can afford.

When it comes to moviegoers and box office, "Diego Rose" has less than $60 million at the North American box office, but it's enough to surpass all the films nominated for Best Picture

And after the next advertising time, the person in charge of Nielsen was even more surprised to find that the ratings of the awards ceremony not only did not decline, but began to rise, and even faintly approached the 35 million mark!

"The next award is Best Editing." His deputy reminded, "Murphy Stanton has been nominated!" ”

The person in charge suddenly woke up, "No wonder the ratings are rising, it turns out that Hollywood's most outstanding young director in the 21st century may be about to win an award!" ”

In the Dolby Theatre, Murphy sees himself on stage again, and Seth Rogan sways to the microphone.

"The famous Hollywood director Ridley Scott once said that the cooperation between a film editor and a director is like a marriage."

The Stanton party seemed to have learned some of Murphy's qualities, and Seth Rogan didn't talk nonsense, speaking directly about the string prepared by the organizers, "It's like going through a marriage, they huddle in a dark cabin without windows, sharing takeout, and watching other people's little movies." ”

He was clearly making a joke, and there was laughter from below the stage.

I have to say that this fat man looks honest, but his talent for creating joy is really different.

After a little joke, Seth Rogan took the initiative to step aside, looked at the big screen and said, "There are ...... people nominated for Best Editing"

On the big screen, a clip of the nominated film, "Michael Hazanavicius - The Artist", began to play. ”

Hearing this name, Murphy remembered that "The Artist", like himself, was a director and editor.

The voices on stage continued, "Thelma Skunmaker - Hugo, Murphy Stanton - Diego Rose, ......"
