"Thank you." Tom tried to speak again, he looked down at his jacket pocket, which contained a pre-written acceptance speech, which he and the entire PR team had written after deliberation and deliberation, everything was guaranteed to be perfect, but at this time, Tom didn't want to come up with this acceptance speech, he just wanted to let his emotions run wild, this was the only time in his twenty years of acting career, he wanted to be himself again.

"First of all, I must thank the entire crew of 'Killing with a Knife', and all the people who helped with this film, thank you, without everyone's concerted efforts, there would be no 'Kill with a Knife'." Tom didn't want to list the long list of names, from the crew to the agency team to the PR team, those unfamiliar names no one knew, but they were the foundation of his career success and the help for him to continue in the future, but he chose to give up at the moment, "Standing here, I want to sincerely thank one person - Mr. Lancelot Strello." ”

Tom's gaze fell on the direction of Lance at the bottom of the stage, and in an instant, the eyes of the audience gathered again, and the feeling of all eyes once again weighed heavily on Lance's shoulders.

"In fact, when I first started filming this film, I thought about giving up because I didn't think I could do it, and I thought Lance was trying to make things difficult for me. At that time, Lance was almost about to kick me out of the crew. After speaking, Tom chuckled twice, as if recalling the absurdity of the beginning, and he himself seemed a little helpless, but this made the scene silent, because some media had previously broken the news about the internal discord of the "Borrowed Knife Killing" crew, but it was quickly denied, "What I am most glad about now is that I chose to stay." It was difficult to shoot 'Kill with a Knife', Lance was not a good director to work with, and he could spend an entire day for a single shot, which almost drove me crazy. But I must admit, Lance, thank you for pushing me to the extreme, and thank you for pulling me back and not making me a real madman, but on the contrary, for standing here and accepting ...... Uh, this trophy ......"

Tom's gaze fell on the Little Golden Man trophy, and his emotions began to stir again, "Jesus Christ, this is really incredible. I stood on the stage of the Oscars to receive my little golden man, and it was like a dream that I would never wake up from. So, thank you, Mr. Lancelot-Strello, and here, with my sincerest thanks. ”

Tom's left hand rested on his heart, staring intently at Lance. The camera of the director of the scene was also immediately focused on Lance, who obviously did not expect - this was Tom's moment, but he became the protagonist, he showed a restrained smile, clapped his hands lightly, and paid his respects to Tom.

"Finally, thank God, thank you to the Academy, and thank you for those days of confusion and self-doubt. Thank you! With that, Tom clutched the trophy tightly, paused for about two seconds, and then turned away from the stage.

The applause, once again, reverberated and stirred in the interior of the Kodak Theater.

Martin turned his head and looked at Lance with a smile, "Well done." "While it was Tom on stage, it was Lance who was in the spotlight, a young director who turned decay into a miracle and almost single-handedly brought Tom to the Oscar podium, a feat that will last long after tonight's ceremony.

Lance laughed widely, "Hopefully it's not luck." This response made Martin laugh too.

Ryan sat in his chair a little stunned, he couldn't even accurately describe his feelings, jealous? Wrath? Depressed? Regret? Repression? Suffering? Maybe it's neither, maybe it's all a little bit, and the mixed emotions gently churn in the chest, so that the brain completely stops functioning.

The success or failure of "Killing with a Knife" tonight really has nothing to do with Diora Pictures, and even if they win the statuette, it won't make Diora Pictures' situation worse. But even so, Ryan still doesn't want to "borrow a knife to kill" to win the award, not because of Diorama Pictures, just because of Lance, it's just a personal grudge. He hated seeing Lance's smile, hated seeing Lance's pride, hated seeing Lance's happiness.

But apparently, he was disappointed again.

Don's defeat, this is a long time of psychological preparation, after missing the Best Supporting Actress award, Ryan knew that all the hopes of Diorama Pictures really fell on the "Sahara Cavalry", and now it is up to them, it has nothing to do with Chaos Pictures, and it has nothing to do with other companies, success or failure is here. But even so, Don lost to Tom, not Jamie, not Leonardo, but Tom, which was almost like an ice pick in the chest, and Ryan couldn't breathe at all.

The rise of Chaos Pictures is so fierce, so strong, so unstoppable, from the box office to the awards, the comprehensive harvest is jaw-dropping, and the undefeated myth of three consecutive works has become the hottest hot topic in Hollywood. Now, even Tom, the "Idol of Ten Thousand Years", has broken the shackles and been recognized by the Academy, so what else is there that Chaos Pictures can't achieve? So, will Chaos Pictures' next work climb to new heights?

Involuntarily, Ryan's eyes fell on Jason again, if they hadn't struck while the iron was hot and made a big fuss about the scandal between Penelope and Matthew, then what would happen now?

Tucker looked up at Ryan, looking for some resonance, as he was caught off guard by the victory of "Kill with a Knife", only to find that Ryan's gaze had fallen elsewhere. Following Ryan's line of sight, Tucker saw Jason's figure, "Should I remind Tucker and Jason that they should avoid repeating my mistakes?" The words of Lance when he left the company echoed in Tucker's mind.

The 77th Oscars are the most competitive and suspenseful Best Actor Award, the dust has settled, Tom Cruise with his calm and restrained but far-reaching performance in "Killing with a Knife", after the fourth Oscar nomination in his actor's career, he won his first Little Golden Man trophy, and seems to have become the biggest winner tonight. Perhaps, the only thing that can be compared is that Martin won the best director of the Golden Man and wrote the perfect ending of the fairy tale.

However, the award for Best Actress must be presented first before the Best Director award can be announced.

Needless to say, this year's battle for the actress is between Hillary Swank of "Million Dollar Baby" and Annette Bening of "Becoming Julia", and the other three nominees are all running runners, which is also the second collision between the two after the showdown between Hillary and Annette five years ago.

Annette became famous very early, won the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 1990, and contributed many excellent works, 1999's "American Beauty" was widely believed by the outside world to be her posthumous work, but the result was lost to the little-known Hillary, creating the biggest upset of the year.

Hillary is only 31 years old this year, and almost no one knew the actress before the movie "Boys Don't Cry", but she relied on this independent film to win the Oscar in one fell swoop, composing a Hollywood fairy tale of stars and moons. Five years later, the two stood in the same position and started the same competition...... The same ending was reached.

Hillary Clinton defeated Annette for the second time with her wonderful performance of "Million Dollar Baby", won her second Oscar statuette, won two trophies in two nominations, and the 100% winning rate was shocking, closely following the footsteps of Louise-Rainer (Luise-Rainer) and Jodie Foster (Jodie-Foster), becoming the third youngest actor in film history to win two statuettes.

It was obviously a night full of regrets for Annette, and the second time she lost to the same opponent, which was not only embarrassing, but also lamented the trick of fate, who knows when the next nomination will be, and who knows if the first Golden Man trophy will come?

From the upset of the Best Actor to the regret of the Best Actress, the two consecutive awards detonated the emotions of all the guests at the scene, making people deeply feel the charm and magic of the Oscars.

When Hillary walked off the stage, people suddenly woke up, and before they knew it, the "Million Dollar Baby" had begun to rise again. Corresponding to Leonardo's defeat of the actor, Hillary Clinton won the film, and between one in and one out, the balance of victory and defeat between "Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby" has quietly changed, and the situation has begun to gradually change.

Of course, "The Aviator" is still the biggest favorite for Best Picture, and with only Best Director and Best Picture not awarded, only "The Aviator" and "Million Dollar Baby" have won two or more trophies, which also means that other works have withdrawn from the race for Best Picture.

For "Million Dollar Baby", the two heavyweight trophies of Best Supporting Actor and Best Actress make it stand out and have the possibility of hitting the ultimate award, but if it wants to win Best Picture, the only possibility is to win Best Director, which is an inevitable option, once it misses Best Director, whether this little golden man is awarded to Martin or others, it means that "Million Dollar Baby" basically misses Best Picture.

But for "The Aviator", the five-seater golden man has already secured its lead, and even if it misses out on the best director award, it is still the top seed for best picture. But the problem is that Best Director is precisely the award that Martin Scorsese values and desires the most, and even if he misses the best picture, Best Director is Martin's inevitable trophy; On the other hand, if Martin wins Best Director, then there is no suspense about Best Picture.

But, for reference, the final winner of the Directors Guild of America Award is Clint Eastwood. (To be continued.) )
