The bar was full of people, even the standing area next to the bar was crammed, and the surrounding walls were hung with posters of "Babel", "The Departed", "Berserk Road", "Little Sunshine Beauty" and "The Queen", and the blank space in the middle was plastered with Polaroid photos, each representing a nominee; There is a pyramid of beer glasses in the shape of a small golden man on the bar, and the grand ceremony is broadcast live on four large screens in front of it, and the strong party atmosphere fills every corner of the bar.

However, at this time, no one in the bar was making any noise, but the sound of Suosuo's discussion was endless, and you could really feel that everyone was participating in the feast.

Matt Owen sat on the edge of the bar in the bar, put down the empty glass, motioned for the bartender to refill the glass, and then looked up at the big screen again, the anticipation and anxiety in his eyes betraying his nervousness at the moment. "So, who do you fancy about it?" The bartender's voice came, and Matt's reaction was half a beat slower, but Isabel Owen, who was sitting next to her, picked up, "He unconditionally supports 'Fury Road'." ”

Matt came back to his senses and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I love Lancelot Strello, I love every one of his works." Then he imprinted a kiss on his wife's cheek, "You still say that I, who the hell went to the cinema with me to watch 'Fury Road' six times?" ”

Isabel shrugged, "I admit my guilt. ”

This made the bartender laugh heartily, "I'm bullish on 'The Departed', and it should be Scorsese's turn this year." But before the words could be fully spoken, the people on the other side of the bar shouted, "Eddie Murphy!" This is Eddie Murphy's moment. The whole bar burst into laughter, and many people slapped the table to cheer for Eddie. It can be seen that as a top black comedian, Eddie has a lot of supporters.

At this moment, everyone in North America is focused on tonight's Oscars, which is the only focus of tonight, more than 48 million people sit in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the party, easily surpassing the "Lord of the Rings 3" summit three years ago, becoming the second only award ceremony after the "Titanic" swept thousands of troops in March 1998. Moreover, with the momentum of "Fury Road" sweeping the awards, the number of viewers continues to rise.

Among them, the family ratings reached a gratifying 30%, and the ratings of 18 to 49 year olds reached an incredible 18.9! You only have to make a comparison to see how unbelievable this set of data is: last year's "crash" event for Best Picture was watched by only 38 million people, and the household rating was only 22 percent. This year can definitely be said to have made a qualitative leap, a big step up, and I clearly feel people's expectations and attention for this year's Oscars.

This can't help but remind people of the most watched Oscars in history, the winner of the ratings is undoubtedly the year when the "Titanic" won the championship, and the number of viewers of 55 million has been unrivaled so far; The highest household viewership was at the 42nd Oscars, when "Midnight Cow/Lang" made history when 43 percent of households tuned in to the live stream. The former is the all-time pinnacle of commercial cinema, and the latter is the all-time breakthrough of the Oscars, so what about tonight?

"Michael! Michael! Michael! ”

On the square to the right of the Kodak Theater, the big screen is broadcasting the party live simultaneously, Emerson Carter's right hand is clenched into a fist, waving neatly and powerfully, cheering for Michael Fassbinder, Lily Carter, Andy Isaac, Chloe Moore and others sitting next to him exchange an excited look, and then they all began to call in a low voice, as if as long as their sincerity is enough, they can decide the award results.

Emerson looked at his friends around him, with a bright smile on his face and a surging heart.

Tonight, they organized a total of 600 fans from all over North America to come to Los Angeles in person to support Lance. Not only to support the Oscar journey of "Fury Road", but also to express their admiration and admiration for Lance, they believe that Lance deserves more recognition than now, whether it is nominated for Best Director or Best Picture for four consecutive years, all of which are not enough to make people feel Lance's excellence...... And greatness.

All of them went into the Kodak Theater to see the ceremony up close, which was absolutely impossible. As a result, they simply gave up on the idea of entering the infield, and instead collectively stayed outside, united as one, and expressed their support for Lance with practical actions. Oscar winner or not, Lance is the victor in them – of course, it would be nice to be recognized by the Academy, by his peers, and by the professionals, and they don't want Lance to be like Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick.

"Michael! Michael! Emerson did not shout loudly, but lowered his voice to show strength, and the light and powerful support grew faster and faster, as if to unite everyone's enthusiasm into a rope. At this moment, they were all one, gathered from all over the world because of Lance!

Compared with the tension and liveliness of the audience in front of the TV, the atmosphere of the scene seems a little dull, because every guest can not show the inner tension, can only clench their fists, control, and control, the muscles that are tense to the extreme have begun to feel a slight soreness, the sound of blood flowing, the sound of sweat sliding down, the sound of pore breathing, the sound of heart impact, little by little amplified, the suffocation makes the air condense.

And that's just the Best Supporting Actor award.

Standing on the stage, Rachel also felt this solemn atmosphere, the burning and dry feeling landed on the surface of her skin, even her heartbeat rhythm couldn't help but start to speed up, after a simple cross-talk, the big screen began to play the short film of the five candidates, Rachel relaxed a little.

Alan Arkin for "Little Sunshine Beauty", Germain Hansu for "Blood Diamond", Mark Wahlberg for "The Departed", Eddie Murphy for "Dream Girl", Michael Fassbender for "Fury Road"

According to the practice of previous years, the Best Supporting Actor department has always been a respectful unit for the elderly, this year's five nominees cover three generations of old, middle and young generations, Germain and Eddie are in their early forties, Mark and Michael are under thirty-five, and this year's seventy-two-year-old Allen is the leader in terms of age, but objectively speaking, Allen is not conspicuous in the awards season, and he has not even been shortlisted for the final five of the Golden Globe Awards. So Eddie and Mark, who have received numerous accolades during the awards season, are still the biggest candidates.

It is worth mentioning that the winner of the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Supporting Actor is Eddie Murphy.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly tensed up again, Michael, who appeared in the live broadcast camera for the first time, looked extremely jerky, couldn't even squeeze out a smile, with a stunned expression, exuding nervousness all over his body, he couldn't hide it at all, it was really unbearable.

Rachel tore open the envelope and glanced down at the card, "The winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor is ......" Rachel paused for a moment, glanced at the name of the winner again, and then said into the microphone, "Alan Arkin, 'Little Sunshine Beauty'." ”

After the answer came out, there was a moment of solidification at the scene, and even all the audience in front of the TV were stunned and dazed. Unpopular, Oscar actually broke out again!

Eddie, who swept the entire awards season and won the award, was overtaken by Allen, who was "nominated by a handful" at the last moment! Allen, who won two nominations for Best Actor as early as the 60s, unexpectedly won his first Little Golden Man with a dark horse work like "Little Sunshine Beauty"! The "Fury Road" that swept thousands of troops was not able to continue its strength, although this was a long-expected result, and Michael's competitiveness in the supporting actor department was indeed not enough, but it was still a little stunned to announce the termination of the monopoly so early! The Screen Actors Guild's winning results have been overturned again, and this is the sixth consecutive year that there has been a deviation, and after last year, the Best Supporting Actor category has been upset for the second year in a row! "Rage Road", "Departed", "Dream Girl", and "Blood Diamond" are all placed under the sketch "Little Sunshine Beauty"!

The momentum of "Sunshine Little Beauty" suddenly rose.

Michael's mind was relieved, and he let out a long breath, but instead showed a relieved expression; The disappointment between Eddie's eyebrows could barely be concealed, he tried to sketch a smile, but he still failed, and finally simply showed his helplessness, the regret on the corner of his mouth was embarrassing......

Alan was stunned, then showed a proper smile and walked onto the stage. The guests at the scene came to their senses, and the applause was a little hesitant, but it still rang out, and then gradually began to increase - not only because this result was voted for by them, but also because of Allund's high esteem, the third Oscar nomination won the first statuette, which was completely deserved, and at the same time, it was also in line with the Oscar's tradition of respecting the elderly for Best Supporting Actor. This should not be a surprise.

It's just, Eddie Murphy......

The afterglow of the eyes still fell on Eddie more or less uncontrollably, almost everyone thought that Eddie had won nine out of ten, and almost the entire awards season was swept with a strong attitude, who knows, it was actually upset tonight. So, what does this mean, does it mean that the "Departed" or "Babel" may be blown up, or does it mean that the academy refuses to innovate and the future of the "berserk road" is in jeopardy?

Speculation, suspense, apprehension, nervousness, curiosity, anticipation...... Countless emotions began to surge, and tonight's highlights seemed to be so much that it was dizzying, and before a third of the awards ceremony had passed, the tense atmosphere had almost stopped the heart.
