492 Regret to run along
Morgan's award seems to be the expected ending, and historically, Morgan did receive his first gold medal this year.
But even so, the tension in Lance's heart has not been alleviated, just like "a soldier who doesn't want to be a general is not a good soldier", Lance will not pretend to be noble and say that he does not want to win awards, on the contrary, he is eager to stand on the stage, eager to win his own trophies, and eager to be recognized as an actor.
Not only because this is his acting dream, but also because this is his third life, he needs to fight against history all the time, in order not to become a speck of dust in the long river of history, and to recreate a world of his own, he is working hard, persevering, like a bird without feet, desperately flapping his wings. Tonight is no exception.
"Best Supporting Actor at the 77th Oscars, the winner is ......" Renee opened the envelope, and the nervousness invaded again, Lance only felt that he couldn't even move a finger, and the whole person stiffened in place, maintaining the previous posture, motionless, and even stopping breathing.
Renee looked up and smiled brightly, "Morgan Freeman, 'Million Dollar Baby'." ”
Thunderous applause! After all, history continued according to the original trajectory, Lance was not able to win the upset, and Morgan still won the praise that should have belonged to him. Lance must have been disappointed, after all, this time he became a companion, but more than disappointment, there was more hope in his chest - he finally determined his heart, he finally determined the direction of the future, so, "killing people with a knife" is just a beginning, and the future is still in the palm of his hand.
Even, Lance felt a hint of joy. When Renee announced the results, she felt a sense of loss as if she had fallen freely from a high altitude, and the gap and stagnation in that moment once again proved that the bonds in his heart had never disappeared. Some ridiculous, some helpless, but more gratifying, that faint joy fluttering gently like a butterfly.
Lance stood up and gave Morgan his blessing with a sincere applause. Admittedly, it was a year for Morgan, who had earned the glory that should have been his, and Lance clapped his hands to pay his respects and congratulations to the black actor who was great enough.
Not only Reims, but all the guests in the audience stood up one after another, expressing their thoughts with practical actions, and the applause gradually gathered together, getting louder and louder, escorting Morgan onto the stage, and when he took the little golden man from Renee, the applause reached its peak, and it continued to echo throughout the Kodak theater, as if this was the moment of the Lifetime Achievement Award.
Almost every actor is thinking: Will they have such a day?
Ryan also stood up, and Tucker and Jason around him stood up one after another, clapping their hands politely, and the tight heartstrings in Ryan's heart loosened slightly. Although Morgan was leading the way throughout the awards season, and judging from Lance's qualifications and age, it can be said that it is difficult to win the award, not to mention that Lance has been absent from the academy public relations for almost the entire awards season...... However, until the suspense is revealed, there is no way to ease the tension, as if the miraculous scene of last year will happen again.
However, it is fortunate that the situation they feared most did not arise - it was obviously difficult for "killing people with a knife" to shake the dominance of "Million Dollar Baby" and "Flyer". Last year, "City of God", as a foreign-language film, can be said to compete in a completely different system, but this year's "Borrowing a Knife to Kill" does not have these conveniences.
Now, it's time to see the "Rwanda Hotel".
After the opening of the Oscars, the two statuettes found their respective belongings, and "Million Dollar Baby" and "Aviator" each won one, which also foreshadowed the main theme of tonight's competition, and the two works will have a fierce battle, but for now, "Million Dollar Baby" won the heavier Best Supporting Actor award, and slightly dominated a little. But the technical department that followed was the home of the "Flyer".
Sure enough, "The Aviator" took home Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design, and only missed out on Best Sound in the technical department for which he was nominated. In addition, "The Aviator" did not have two categories that could win the nomination, with the best sound editing going to "The Incredibles" and the best visual effects award going to "Spider-Man 2".
In the blink of an eye, the technical department found its own winners, and the "Aviator" led the way with three statuettes, making the most of its biggest favorite of the awards season, once again convincing people that the work is still the strongest contender for Best Picture, as evidenced by the award of Best Supporting Actress.
Cate Blanchett successfully stood out, had the last laugh in the battle for Best Supporting Actress, and won the first acting gold medal in her career as an actor, and has become the latest darling of the Oscars - only six years after landing in Hollywood, she was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress once, and then won the award smoothly, and the momentum is amazing!
Kate's victory can be said to be the commanding heights of strategic significance! Because this supporting actress trophy is definitely not easy to come by.
Among the five nominees, Sophie of "Rwanda Hotel", Laura of "Kinsey Professor of Sexology", and Virginia of "A Cup of Wine Life" can be said to be escorts, even the strongest of them Laura - this is her second Oscar nomination, and "Truman's World" did not win the nomination that year, which has always been considered a pity by many people, but this year it belongs to Natalie and Kate.
Throughout the awards season, Natalie and Kate can be said to be two points in the world, evenly matched, and leading side by side. Whether it is the strength of the work or the quality of the performance, the two are indistinguishable, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Natalie's free-flowing, delicate and expressive performance has been highly recognized; Kate's brilliant rendition of Katharine-Hepburn drew even more exclamations, but Natalie had a slight advantage: she was younger, only twenty-three, but she had been rolling in Hollywood for ten years, and the Best Supporting Actress department just liked to celebrate the new generation of actors! After winning the Golden Globe, Natalie's vocals reached its peak. However, in the latter part of the awards season, the overall quality of "stealing hearts" has been questioned a lot, which has made the balance begin to tilt.
In the end, the thirty-five-year-old Kate defeated the younger Natalie, not only won the Golden Man, but also won another city for the "Aviator", and has occupied an absolutely advantageous position in the battle for Best Picture.
Ryan couldn't help but be slightly stunned when he heard the results announced by Tim Robbins. Although I had expected such an ending for a long time, when I really faced it, the hope in my heart couldn't help but collapse. If the "Rwanda Hotel" can make a win tonight, Diora Pictures can quickly get out of the quagmire, but ...... Obviously, this is not an easy task, and after missing out on Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor is even more hopeless. This also means that the retreat of Diorama Pictures has collapsed again, and the despair of watching the road to redemption disappear is suffocating.
At this time, it is meaningless whether "borrowing a knife to kill" can win an award, because this is a war between oneself and oneself, and the failure of the "Rwanda Hotel" means that the fate of Diora Pictures has hung by a thread, and this line is the "Sahara Cavalry", as for the performance of "killing people with a knife", their award will not accelerate the demise of Diora Pictures, and their defeat will not allow Diora Pictures to win a respite. In the end, it still depends on your own strength.
Ryan couldn't help but turn his head to look at Jason, he suddenly remembered the quarrel between him and Jason in the past six months, Jason repeatedly emphasized that they should not spend so much energy on publicity, they should not waste time on intrigue, they should focus on the production of "Sahara Cavalry", they should return to the work itself......
If they hadn't filmed "Troy" in the first place, if they hadn't invested so much during the "Ocean's Twelve" campaign, and most importantly, if they hadn't kept pouring money into the "Sahara Cavalry" campaign, they would have invested nearly 20 million in publicity money instead of having invested nearly 20 million in publicity -- without all this, the diorama's financial chain would not have gone into trouble so quickly, and they would not have immediately faced such an embarrassing situation.
Now, all this has come true, all their hopes are pinned on the "Saharan cavalry", in other words, their vitality is always in their own hands, did Jason already know this?
His gaze lingered on Jason for a moment, and then finally landed on his hands, which made Ryan a little dazed for a moment.
In the blink of an eye, most of tonight's awards ceremony has passed, all the dust has settled in the technical department, and the supporting role department has also announced the results.
Samuel L. Jackson and Adam Sandler will present the Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, which will likely be a game-changer: four films for Best Picture are nominated, and all five for Best Director are nominated, in other words, a little gold man in the screenwriting department may guide the final award.
But interestingly, none of this year's favorites for Best Picture are strong seeded entrants in the screenplay category, which reminds people of last year's "Lord of the Rings III: The Return of the King" - the only flaw in the twelve nominations is that the best adapted screenplay was pulled out by the "City of God". So, what about this year? (To be continued.) )
