818 Suspense strikes
The opening of the 78th Academy Awards was really disappointing, Jon's humor never scratched the itch, and the atmosphere was filled with a jerky and embarrassing taste, even if the guests wanted to cooperate, they still couldn't laugh, which made the atmosphere of the scene seem a little cold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
On the contrary, Lance successfully detonated the atmosphere of the audience with only two actions, and the right entry point fully demonstrated Lance's sharp mockery but witty and humorous side. For the audience, Lance's presence is definitely a surprise, and it also brings hilarious humor for industry insiders, but the short confrontation is worth savoring, not to mention the two extreme positions of Lance and George, all of which are filled with a strong smell of gunpowder, although I have long known that tonight will not be simple, but I really feel that sense of urgency, or people can't wait.
After the Oscars, the ratings recorded the second worst result in 20 years, with an average of 38.8 million viewers, only higher than the 75th edition held on the cusp of the Iraq war, and it was also the second time in 20 years that the average viewership failed to break the 40 million threshold, which is a very bad result. Of course, there are many reasons for this, and Jon's boring opening is just one of them, but it's worth noting that Jon and Lance received 42 million viewers in just 20 seconds.
That's an interesting set of numbers.
After a brief interview with the crew of "Hard Candy", Jon continued to tease the other four Best Picture nominees one by one, and even made a short film edited by a Western film, mocking the cowboys in previous Westerns for being all gay, echoing this year's hit "Brokeback Mountain", but still laughing mediocre and unable to turn the tide. The opening talk show ended like this, like chicken ribs.
The painful ordeal finally came to an end, and everyone began to wonder which was the first award to be presented tonight, generally speaking, the supporting actor department is the first to appear, because the supporting actor department can attract the audience's attention at the beginning, but it is not the most important among the core six departments, and has the weakest influence on the direction of the best picture.
However, this year is obviously a little different, the Best Supporting Actor award is comparable to Best Picture, which can be called one of the biggest suspense, if purely from a topic point of view, it even exceeds Best Picture If it opens with the Best Supporting Actress Award, it seems a little weak, because this year's supporting actress department really lacks highlights, and even less suspense.
Therefore, after discussing with the college, which award will be used to open up tonight's competition is also a point that many people are curious about.
In Jon's introduction, Nicole Kidman walked onto the stage, and the audience was stunned What award did Nicole present? According to the convention, the four awards in the actor department will invite the winners of the previous year, and the awards will be presented in a gender-staggered manner, Nicole was the actress winner three years ago, but she was not able to win any acting nominations last year, so, if Nicole goes on stage, what will be the first award?
At the beginning, all the guests were confused.
Raise your head, and the subtitles on the big screen begin to appear, "Best Supporting Actor". Wow, the audience sounded a gasp of cool air, connected together, the irrepressible uproar looked funny and weird in the elegant piano soundtrack, Nicole's dignified and calm steps could not hide the restlessness of the scene, no one expected that the first award awarded would be Best Supporting Actor!
Best Supporting Actor is not only a little golden man, nor is it not only a bargaining chip for the three dazzling works of "Brokeback Mountain", "Crash", and "Fruit Hard Candy" to compete for Best Picture, but also the ultimate showdown between Lance and George, which can be said to be a showdown that runs through the entire awards season, and even runs through most of Hollywood!
One is a man with a solid foundation in Hollywood for more than ten years, a man who has risen strongly in recent years and stirred up Hollywood, a man who has connections all over all walks of life and has been loved by countless people, a man who is arrogant and uninhibited, wanton and debauchery, a man who is endlessly charming and personable, and a man who is talented and arrogant. These two men who were originally best friends, but they turned against each other because of the work "Good Night, Good Luck", this turmoil in artistic creation caused half of Hollywood to begin to stand in line, and the connections involved, interests, and power distribution were originally just a simple plagiarism door, clear, black and white, right and wrong, but the development of things was completely off the track, and even began to affect the reputation of the Oscars! Two little soldiers, two small chess pieces, but they have the ability to change the battle and chess game, this is the true face of the ultimate duel.
It is no exaggeration to say that the direction of the best supporting actor is one of the biggest suspense tonight.
Now, one of the biggest suspense is about to be revealed at the beginning, and it is a huge surprise to end this showdown that has lasted throughout the awards season with a vigorous attitude! But if you think about it, this is the most appropriate choice, because in the second half, the heavyweight awards are one after another, dizzying, compared to the dense area of the war, the opening attention is worthy of the weight of this showdown, and the prelude to tonight's suspenseful Armageddon will be unveiled.
However, the senior leaders of the academy are now full of bitterness. If they had known about the result, they would never have given the Best Supporting Actor award at the opening ceremony, because it would almost be equivalent to adding fuel to the fire, making it clear that everyone should pay attention to the competition for this award, making it clear that the duel between Lance and George was put in the ring, and beating gongs and drums for everyone to come and watch, which is the last thing the academy wants.
The original intention was based on Reims' absence.
Here's another tidbit, since Lance has never been able to confirm whether he will attend, Chaos Pictures, Academy, TV B, etc., are all arranged according to the results of "absence". After learning of Lance's absence from the Oscars, Cate Blanchett, the original guest of honor for Best Supporting Actor and winner of last year's Best Supporting Actress, declined the college's invitation and refused to attend this year's ceremony.
In this showdown between George and Lance, Kate was steadfast on Lance's side. During the awards season, Kate even ran around to do her best for Reims' college public relations, but unfortunately the strength was meager, following the Golden Globe Awards, George also had the last laugh in the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the Seattle Film Critics Association, and the industry's pursuit of George continued to rise, which made Kate angry.
It seems that all the evidence shows that the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor will be awarded to George, which is unacceptable to Kate, and if the trophy is still presented to George, this is even more unacceptable to Kate. As a result, Kate confirmed that she would be absent from the Oscars.
Kate's absence, the academy did not hype it, and Kate has been relatively low-key, so people are concerned about Lance's absence, but ignore Kate's absence. But after the news of this incident came out, it still caused a small commotion in the Hollywood industry, adding another fire to the showdown between Lance and George.
Therefore, when the academy arranged the award for Best Supporting Actor, it first invited Nicole to be the guest of honor Nicole who had just taken over Kate, who had just resigned, and confirmed to appear in "Berlin Labyrinth" directed by Steven Soderbergh, partnered with George Clooney, Nicole and Lance are good friends, but the relationship is not as hardcore as that and then after careful consideration, the Best Supporting Actor Award was placed in the opening The results have been sealed, and they don't know the result, but no matter what the result is, thanks to Lance's absence, It's like a drop of hot oil falling into a pot of cold water, and it's going to be ignored peacefully. In this way, it can maintain suspense and create topics, but it will not intensify contradictions and malicious hype.
However, things are clearly off track, and now it's too late and there is no way to undo it.
What's more, putting aside the personal grievances of Lance and George, purely from the perspective of awards, the competition for the Best Supporting Actor category is also the most competitive among the four major acting awards this year.
In the battle for Best Actor, Philip Seymour Hoffman of "Capote" is unbeatable, and the only one who can launch the impact of "Walking with Song" Jacquin Phoenix is still not enough, and the competition for Best Actress depends on the duel between Reese Witherspoon of "Walking with Song" and Felicity Hoffman of "Crossing America" As for Best Supporting Actress, Rachel Weisz of "The Immortal Gardener" has obvious advantages, and even Michelle Williams of "Brokeback Mountain" is difficult to pose a threat.
But the Best Supporting Actor department is different, in this department for the elderly, there is no "old man" this year, the eldest Paul Giamati is only forty-three years old, far from being called "respectful" The youngest Jack Gyllenhaal is only twenty-five years old, but he has been rolling in Hollywood for six years, and he is fully capable of impacting the awards. This also means that the practices of previous years in the sector no longer seem to work, and everything must be overturned and rebuilt.
In terms of strength, Lance of "Fruit Hard Candy" is unbeatable, George of "Cinrena" is fully worthy of the evaluation of "Brilliant", Jack of "Brokeback Mountain" should not be underestimated on qualifications, Matt of "Crash", Paul of "Iron Fist Man", and George of "Cinrina" have all been rolling in Hollywood for more than fifteen years, even Lance, before the resume of the actor and director, has been rolling in Hollywood as a producer for nearly four years in terms of networking, the five have their own strengths, even the youngest Jack is completely in the film worldThe whole family is a film industry participant, and there are three Best Picture contenders for five nominations
From any point of view, this is an award full of sparks and suspense.
unintentionally inserted willows and willows, so the most beautiful pattern of the 78th was formed, with the best supporting actor at the beginning and the best film at the end, the two major suspenses complemented each other one by one, truly outlining the smoke of the awards season. To be continued.
