cpa300_4(); The development of tonight's awards ceremony really caught people off guard, first witnessing the sweeping feat of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", and then witnessing the "City of God" unexpectedly win two awards in a row, so the strange direction of the award ceremony also added a suspense to the rest of the award ceremony: how many more surprises are worth looking forward to?

The "Wow ......" question had just popped up, and an unexpected appearance appeared on the stage - Francis Ford Coppola actually appeared hand in hand with Sofia Coppola! Needless to say, this is the most high-profile father-daughter file of this year's awards season, and the prophecy that there will be a father and a daughter has been confirmed tonight, and now the two of them are on stage hand in hand, which can definitely be said to be the most topical group in tonight's award ceremony combination, and it also made the guests on the scene stand up one after another, not only for Francis, but also for Sophia, to send applause.

What's more...... Coppola's father and daughter presented the award for the best adapted screenplay!

At this time, people realized that tonight's Best Original Screenplay Award went to "Lost in Translation", but the Best Adapted Screenplay Award was still not announced, and now, Sophia, who won the Best Original Screenplay Award, teamed up with her famous father to present the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, which is really a very meaningful situation.

"The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", "Shining America", "City of God", "Mystic River" and "Age of Pentium" are the final five in the race for this year's Best Adapted Screenplay. However, this year's Best Adapted Screenplay award is more competitive than ever, and is even widely considered to be the most suspenseful award at the Oscars, because the five nominees are close in strength, and it is not surprising that whoever has the last laugh in a scuffle.

There is no dispute about the absolute superiority of "Return of the King" in the technical department, but as an epic masterpiece based on scenes and special effects, its script is indeed not a strong point, the character portrayal and plot structure are lacking in heat, the story rhythm is also slightly dragged, and the overall quality is inferior to the first part of the series. It's like the "Titanic" back then - it didn't even get a nomination in the script department.

"The Return of the King" dominated the awards season with overwhelming momentum, but the script nominations were as weak as the acting. first missed the top five nominees for the Golden Globe Awards, and then was ignored by the Writers Guild of America Awards. If the script department of the Golden Globe Awards is not divided into original and adapted, the competition among the top five is more intense, and it is understandable that "The Return of the King" is not nominated; Then the loss of the Writers Guild of America Award. There is a clear situation in the table, and this work really lacks highlights in terms of script.

Therefore, people think more that "Return of the King" will be like "Titanic", sweeping the awards in the technical department. However, in the acting and script departments, they all failed, and finally won the Best Director and Best Picture strongly. But after the Oscar nominations came out, "The Return of the King" unexpectedly occupied a place in the adaptation department, which caused a big upset, which also added suspense to tonight's award trend.

Compared with the momentum of "The Return of the King", the absolute strength of the other four has been recognized.

"Pentium Age" has been an escort runner throughout the awards season, but has been nominated for almost all scripts outside the Golden Globe Awards, even if it is an escort, it is also a powerful escort runner; "Mystic River" naturally needs no words, and the thickness and depth of the script have been unanimously praised. At the same time, it is also the most nominated script, which can be regarded as a big favorite for the best adapted screenplay.

"Shining America" has received a lot of praise since the Sundance Film Festival, and it is rumored that when the judges selected the screenwriting award, the competition between "Soul Station" and "Shining America" was fierce, and the latter was only lost by one vote, which shows the certainty of this work. After missing the Golden Globes, being nominated for the Oscars is well deserved.

The recognition that "City of God" won during the awards season was undoubtedly legendary, and it was unknown in the first half of the awards season, but after entering 2004, the momentum gradually increased with the pace of screenings. It first won the highest recognition from the Editors Guild of America, and then the Writers Guild of America Awards, which were awarded to Lost in Lost Tokyo and the City of God for the original and adapted screenplays at this year's Writers Guild of America Awards.

Finally, at the Independent Spirit Awards, held the day before the Oscars, "City of God" made a comeback and snatched the Best Screenplay Award from "Lost in Translation". "Lost in Translation" won three awards for Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Actor. But he missed the most important script award and lost to the "City of God".

This qiē and qiē all make the Best Adapted Screenplay Award full of suspense! Not to mention, three of the five nominees were shortlisted for Best Picture, and the overall strength was affirmed!

In terms of objective quality, "Mystic River" and "City of God" have undoubtedly won the most solid and thick reputation during the awards season. But this is the Oscar, the Oscar voted by more than 6,000 student judges, and the trend of the awards is unpredictable, even if it is considered to be destined to accompany the "Pentium Era", there is also a possibility of winning the award.

It's really interesting that Francis and Sophia will present the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, but what about the Coppola family to escort the upset victory of "The Return of the King" and witness Peter Jackson's victory tonight? Or do you hope that the Coppola father and daughter will resist the fanatics of "Return of the King" and award the award to the truly outstanding works?

Whatever the possibility, it would be a great honor for Francis and Sofia to be the presenters.

At the same time, the suspense is back at the Kodak Theatre once again! Not only is the attribution of the best adapted screenplay a huge suspense, but it is also a shocking suspense whether the feat of "Return of the King" with a 100% award rate can be continued.

In fact, by the time the awards ceremony arrived, the suspense of Best Picture and Best Director had been largely snuffed out, and if nothing else, the "Return of the King", who had won nine statuettes, would have taken home both trophies - otherwise, it would have been the biggest joke in Oscar history, and the work that won the most statuettes was not the winner of Best Picture. Therefore, according to the step-by-step process, "The Return of the King" will receive at least eleven little gold figures - equal to the award-winning records of "Ben Hur" and "Titanic", if "The Return of the King" wants to break the record, all the suspense will be maintained on the best adapted screenplay, which is also the least down-to-earth and least powerful of the twelve nominations for "The Return of the King".

In other words, can "Return of the King" continue to have a 100% winning rate, can "Return of the King" create a history of winning awards, and can "Return of the King" continue its monopoly...... All this suspense is focused on this, the award for Best Adapted Screenplay!

Is it the "Return of the King" that is out of the ordinary? Or is it a dark horse that scares a thousand waves halfway? This sniper mission falls on "Mystic River", "City of God", "Pentium Age" and "Glorious America".

Ryan was nervous to the extreme, but he calmed down, he knew that now that all the awards had been settled, and the answer was in the red envelope in Francis's hand, his nervousness would not help. But reason is reason, reason is reason, Ryan can still feel a thin layer of sweat oozing from his palms, at this moment, his stomach began to churn, an irrepressible urge to vomit began to control his brain, he had to use strong willpower to control the spasms of his internal organs, which made the back of his shirt soak, and even his forehead began to break out in cold sweat.

Shame, an indescribable sense of shame swept over Ryan, almost devouring Ryan.

He originally thought that after taking over Diorama Pictures, it would belong to him; He thought that after driving Lance out, success would be within reach; He originally thought that the success of leaving Reims and "Lost in Tokyo" was enough to prove his wisdom; He originally thought that the choice of the "City of God", Lance's gamble at the end of the road; He originally thought that the list of Oscar nominees was just an accident; He had thought ......

He originally thought that tonight would be a safe one, and it would belong to the "Lost in Tokyo" celebration carnival. But now, he was the one who was cornered, and he saw the humiliation of the "City of God" winning two little golden figures, and burned him like a raging fire. And now, he has to wait for another result with trepidation.

It's like waiting for your own execution.

That's Lance's first script, isn't it? Ryan tried to comfort himself, but suddenly choked, and he forgot "good night, good luck", but ...... It doesn't matter, in the eyes of outsiders, "City of God" is Lance's first script, and he wants to rely on his debut film to take off the script statuette? This is not the award for Best Foreign Language Film! Lance is not Sam Mendes (S-MDS) and Alan Ball (A-B)!

This will not be his death sentence.

The corners of Ryan's mouth relaxed slightly, and he turned his head to look at Tucker and Jason on his right, Tucker was still tense at this time, like a bow that was stretched to the extreme, and it only needed a little more force to collapse; And Jason was hidden behind Tucker, still unable to see clearly, and could only vaguely feel his nervousness from the tightened hands.

Retracting his gaze, Ryan began to take a deep breath and took another deep breath.

At this moment, not only Ryan, Tucker and Jason, but everyone in the audience became nervous, and the huge pressure and astonishing suspense of standing at the crossroads of history filled the air at the same time, and even Sophia standing on the stage felt a little shrunk - even more nervous than when the award for Best Original Screenplay was announced.

Francis, who is accustomed to seeing countless big scenes, took the initiative to take over the task of revealing the answer, "The 76th Oscar, the winner of the best adapted screenplay is ......" Then Francis opened the envelope in his hand, took out the card and glanced at the answer on it, and then handed the card to his daughter's eyes, signaling her to read the answer directly.

Sophia glanced at her father, and the tension was so thick that it almost turned into substance, and the entire Kodak theater was about to explode, so dreary that people just wanted to run away. After seeing the affirmation in her father's eyes, Sophia looked down at the card, and then read word by word:

"Lancelot-Strello, 'City of God'."

Click, the trigger is pulled. (To be continued.) )
