829 reduced to a joke

readx;?“ "Crash" was the first best picture to win only two statuettes at the Oscars since "Butterfly Dream" in 1941, making history for 65 years, but a disgraceful record. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Butterfly Dream" regrettably missed the best director of the Golden Man at the event, which was the 13th Oscars, which also became the representative time point for countless people to choke Alfred Hitchcock. But taking a step back, it was only the thirteenth Oscars, and in the distant entrepreneurial era, the award setting was still not perfect - the Best Score Award even had seventeen works nominated for the award, and even the Golden Globe Awards had not yet been born.

So, since then, there has never been such a ridiculous and chaotic situation.

Sixty-five years later, at the 78th Oscars, "Crash" once again wrote this "record", becoming another best film in the long history of the Oscars that only won two trophies, in a vigorous alternative way, announcing the end of another year's awards season, but this year's awards season has forever become a joke -

The judges were immersed in the intrigue of the college's public relations, and even did not hesitate to reverse black and white for their own selfishness and profit, not only ignoring the artistic standards of the works, but also refusing to watch the absurd situation of the nominated works; The academy's top management, film companies, and Wall Street forces standing behind them are driven by interests and have endless means, but a world film event has evolved into a gladiatorial arena for the exchange of interests, which is not a film awards ceremony, but a self-exaltation/tide full of copper smell; Throughout the awards season, there have been ups and downs, dramatic twists, and constant topics, far from the essence of film art, and completely turned into a farce.

The victory of "Crash" pushed this farce to the top, and it was truly ridiculous and generous, and no one cared about it, and the two lonely awards for Best Picture and Best Film Editing were even more ironic!

No one could have predicted that the 2005 awards season would end in such a dramatic way, and even the college judges themselves would be caught off guard. The ups and downs of public opinion in the process of public relations of the college have confused the news media, the judges of the college, and the final vote.

Before the awards ceremony, everyone was curious about who would win Best Supporting Actor and Best Picture, and what would happen between Lance and George...... But no one doubts that in the showdown between Lance and the Academy, the Academy is bound to have the last laugh, because whether Lance wins the award or not, the Academy will be the one who has the upper hand in public opinion. As for the future, the academy could ignore Lance forever, and even make people unaware that Lance has released another work - good or not, even if there is a deviation, the academy only needs to nominate Lance and then ignore him during the voting process, and that is enough.

Academy, it is easy to be invincible.

In this huge showdown, it is always the artist who compromises. The most direct case is Viggo-Mortensen (Viggo-Mortensen), a name that is quite unfamiliar to many viewers, but just mentioning Aragorn, the king of humans in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, is enough to awaken the memory of every movie lover.

Born in New York and born in an authentic academy, Viggo rolled in Hollywood in the early nineties, and it wasn't until "The Lord of the Rings" that he won the attention of the public. In fact, when "Lord of the Rings 2" was launched, many people were optimistic about Viggo's performance, thinking that he had the opportunity to impact acting nominations in the awards season, but at that time, Viggo privately expressed his disdain, thinking that the Oscars were just a group of hypocrites entertaining themselves. was originally just a joke in a private place, but it was spread by someone with a heart, and Vigo's Oscar journey was completely cut off from then on.

"A History of Violence", "Doomsday", "Dangerous Methods", "Mercenary Legend" and other works have given wonderful performances, but they were completely ignored by the Oscars, and only one nomination came from 2007's "Promise of the East", which was directed by David Cronenberg (David Cronenberg), which won the top spot at the Toronto Film Festival and won a lot of love from the audience. Lost to Daniel Day-Lewis who was "Coming in Blood".

It wasn't until 2014 that Viggo relented and expressed friendship to the Oscars and the Academy in public many times, but the golden decade of the peak of his acting career has passed.

However, who would have thought that the invincible academy would dig its own pit and bury itself. Although it is said that "Fruit Hard Candy" won two small gold statuettes, the feud between the academy and Lance seems to have come to an end; But the bizarre victory of "Crash" is really not convincing in the face of "Brokeback Mountain" and "Fruit Hard Candy", and the root of it all seems to return to the confrontation between Lance and George, and Lance and the Academy. Now, there is a chaotic mess in front of them, but the academy leaders are completely dumbfounded, what are they going to do? Where do they start?

It's the end of another year's awards season, but it's not a celebratory ceremony, and everyone looks at the chicken feathers in front of them and doesn't know what to do.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, from an unknown small organization, has grown step by step to the king of the world film industry, even if people criticize the Oscars more and more commercially, even if the annual Oscars are more and more boring, but the Oscars are still the most influential feast in the world, and the winners and even nominees of the Little Golden Man will maintain a series of peripheral interests every year.

But now the academy exudes a rotten and gray atmosphere, and Oscar, who is about to enter his old age, is staggering, stumbling, and crooked, especially unconscious, still immersed in the glory of the past, refusing to forge ahead. In terms of entertainment, the competition is not as lively as the Golden Globe Awards, and Cannes at the beginning of summer is also becoming the focus of world attention; In terms of professionalism, it is far behind the lonely Berlin Film Festival, and even the Venice Film Festival, which is too busy to take care of itself, is far more wise; In terms of momentum, the Toronto Film Festival has a commercial foothold, and the Sundance Film Festival has started independently, breaking into a ...... But what about Oscar?

The list of winners of the 78th Academy Awards is in front of me, and I am at a loss.

After all, the trajectory of history still does not follow the law, and it will take time for the sensitive topic of homosexuality to break the shackles of centuries, and the old pedants of the academy also need to take the lead; But the wheel of history has still shifted slightly, "Brokeback Mountain" lost the best picture statuette, but won the hearts of the people, "Crash" successfully won the ultimate award, but I don't know whether it should be celebrated, "Fruit Hard Candy" accompanied the entire awards season to fall short, but achieved the glory of Lance, where the future will go, no one knows.

However, these troubles are all from the academy and have nothing to do with Lance.

Lance can easily leave that mess behind him, and shift all his energy to the competition for summer slots, leaving the Kodak Theater, Lance's brain begins to work, how should he make the most of the chaos created by the Oscars, grasp more initiative at tonight's Oscar night, and add more chips to the box office journey of "Fury Road".

What is certain is that George won't be an issue for a while, at least not at Oscar night; And the members of the academy will not refuse to befriend Lance, not only because "Fruit Hard Candy" is on the podium again, but also because of the tenacity that Lance has shown in the melee over the past few months, there are still two people left in the summer season, and no one wants to jump to conclusions now, not even Warner Bros. and Sony Pictures; It can even be a little bolder to speculate that the academy doesn't want Lance to add fuel to the fire at such a moment, and the media hopes that Lance can explode violently, then tonight's party will be extremely lively.

Thinking about it this way, the originally boring Oscar night party suddenly became exciting.

“…… It seems that Charlize is your lucky star. Cole's voice came, and Lance retracted his thoughts and looked at him suspiciously, and Charlize, who was sitting across from him, was also puzzled.

At this point, the group left the Kodak Theater, drove around, and then returned to the Roosevelt Hotel, diagonally across from the Kodak Theater, where they would change their clothes, eat something to cushion their stomachs, and then head to the Sunset Tower Hotel for Oscar night.

Cole shrugged his shoulders and reminded, "Last year it was Charlize who presented Tom with Best Actor, and tonight you're walking the red carpet with her." ”

Lance's memory was awakened, he raised his eyebrows, and his eyes met Charlize's, "You forgot, you also awarded me the best foreign language film." The smile on the corner of his mouth has been involuntarily outlined.

Charlize was stunned, and then remembered that night, she won the actress for "The Witch", and she was also the guest of honor for Best Foreign Language Film, which was the first time she and Lance met, "Hey, it looks like someone owes me a dinner!" ”

Lance and Cole couldn't help laughing, such a coincidence was really interesting, inadvertently, the two of them had already had so many fates, "So, I think this is a good thing for the 'Fury Road', right?" ”

Charlize winked playfully, "I won't deny the claim, so I'm your lady of luck." ”

Lance nodded his chin meaningfully, "Lady Luck, I like that title. Then, Lance took the little golden figure in Cole's hand and offered it with both hands, "Dear lady luck, please accept my heart." ”

Charlize raised his head proudly, stretched out his slender jade fingers, and nodded the little golden man's head condescendingly, "Cole, you can keep it for me for the time being." "Goddess demeanor, domineering side leakage. (To be continued.) )
