825 goes hand in hand
The nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay, "Capote", "Brokeback Mountain", "The Immortal Gardener", "A History of Violence", "Munich Massacre". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Among these five works, there are three contenders for Best Picture, and who can take the lead again has become the biggest suspense of the awards. If "The Immortal Gardener" or "History of Violence" were to win in an upset, then the audience would be stunned, and it is estimated that everyone who voted would start to think about life - how did I vote in the first place?
Fortunately, this did not happen, and the name of "Brokeback Mountain" came out of Dustin's mouth, successfully won the Best Adapted Screenplay, and grabbed a spot in the battle for Best Picture.
In fact, there are no surprises in this result, which is consistent with the list of winners of the Writers Guild of America Awards, and the restrained and delicate, long and profound script adaptation of "Brokeback Mountain" has received a lot of praise during the awards season, even on an occasion such as the Golden Globe Awards, which only awards one Best Screenplay Award, "Brokeback Mountain" still has the last laugh, which shows that this work has been recognized. Now, "Brokeback Mountain" has once again won the Oscar, which is well deserved.
The race for Best Picture is finally starting to get interesting, and if "Brokeback Mountain" wins strongly, it will inevitably avoid the dilemma of only two statuettes for Best Picture, but it also means that the Academy has finally taken this gay work seriously, and this film that has spanned the entire awards season will stand on the top podium, and Hollywood's history of ignoring the gay community will change dramatically, not only the film industry, but also the rest of society. It will be a moment that will completely rewrite history; But if "Brokeback Mountain" fails to win the title, and the illusion of writing history is shattered, then which work will win?
When Jessica Alba walked on the stage, she could clearly feel the scorching light surrounding her, and the weight of her shoulders made her steps look a little clumsy - Best Original Screenplay, Jessica is about to award the Best Original Screenplay Award, and the settlement of this award also marks who will join forces with "Brokeback Mountain" to form the first group of the championship lineup, and the award of Best Director is the final sprint before reaching the finish line, and the suspense is narrowing step by step.
So, the air inside the Kodak Theater grew tighter, the air was parching and restless, and all the anticipation, all the curiosity, all the apprehension, all the excitement was focused on Jessica, or more accurately, on the white envelope in Jessica's hand.
Jessica wasn't Dustin, and her stage experience was far less than that, which made Jessica almost unable to take a step, and she did her best to avoid the crisis of her own wrestling, suppressing the panic and fear in her heart, and focusing on her own strings. But the problem is that the voice seems to be her own at all, Jessica has no idea what she is talking about, she can only hear the hollow voice lingering in her ears, but her brain has been completely separated, as if the whole person is floating in the middle of the lake, and her whole body is unable to exert her strength.
Luckily, no one in the audience cared about Jessica's cross-talk, and all the focus was on the white envelope and the answer hidden in the envelope. Not only the ceremony guests, but even the senior members of the academy are no exception, and even Jessica's glamorous appearance has been reduced to a foil and cannot attract more attention.
“…… Lancelot Strello, 'Hard Candy' ......" The introduction came on the big screen, Jessica's mind came back to her mind a little, and she couldn't help but turn her head, and then she saw Lance's smiling gentleman's face on the big screen, how could she forget that Lance was also one of the candidates for Best Original Screenplay.
The competition for Best Original Screenplay isn't that fierce, but it's definitely not that simple. Woody Allen for "End of the Game", Stephen Garhan for "Cinrena", Noah Baumbach for "Squid and Whale", Paul Haggis for "Crash", and Lance for "Hard Candy", these five alternates are definitely outstanding, and the completion of the script has also exceeded the average level of the best adapted screenplay, however, this year's landscape is slightly different.
Woody, who won the nomination for the original screenplay for the fourteenth time, is not a hit this year, although "The End of the Game" is considered to be Woody's best script in the past decade, it is still not Woody's highest level, and the theme of the work itself has also been explored; Stephen, who was born as a screenwriter, is undoubtedly strong, and the "drug network" has won him an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay, and this time "Xin Ruina" is even more complicated, pointing out that the self-proclaimed democracy and justice of the United States/country/government/government are actually just the control of the interests of the consortium behind it, and the greed and ugliness behind the high-sounding excuses are disgusting, but the script is too fragmented, and too complex and complex, quite a bit of high and low, and the whole is still slightly scattered.
"Squid and Whale" has the potential to be a dark horse, focusing on the broken lives of middle-class intellectuals in New York, which is completely Woody's forte, but Noah does not have Woody's narcissism and loftiness, and tells the impact of pain on each family with a more intimate touch to life, and the theme of everyone learning to grow up while hurting each other is even more thought-provoking. In terms of the quality of the works, it is even higher than last year's "Cup of Wine Life", but unfortunately this year is not the year that belongs to it, although it is a small year for awards, but many works are constantly talked about and focused, and the theme of "Squid and Whale" seems to be a little too bourgeoisie and too tepid.
Overall, "hard fruit candies" and "crashes" are the hot spots this year. Although the former has a small pattern, it has far-reaching implications, almost every detail of the script can taste the refraction and irony of society, and the criticism of the dark ending has reached its peak, the combination of characters and plots, lines and stories, is amazing; The latter is a little too straightforward, the discussion of racial discrimination is relatively shallow, and the multi-line intertwined plot structure is completely the model of a TV drama script, but it is undeniable that the script presents the real face of Los Angeles' cultural melting pot, and sharply and accurately elaborates on the reality and intricacies of life, and the theme of racial discrimination is even more worthy of recognition.
Judging from the results of the awards season, "Fruit Hard Candy" has won the hearts of independent filmmakers, and the Independent Spirit Awards, the New York Film Critics Association, the Boston Film Critics Association, the San Francisco Film Critics Association, etc., all prefer this work; "Crash" won the hearts of mainstream filmmakers, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the British Academy of Film and Television Arts chose to award the work.
The Writers Guild of America, which is the most interesting in the wind vane, awarded the best adapted screenplay to "Brokeback Mountain", and the best original screenplay chose "Crash".
It can be simply and crudely summarized as, a niche, a mainstream. It may be biased, but it's a reflection of the direction of the awards season. If this trend continues, then the Oscar statuette will inevitably choose to "crash". What's more, Lance only won the Best Adapted Screenplay with "City of God" two years ago, in contrast to Paul's "Million Dollar Baby" last year but lost to "A Cup of Wine Life", after one plus and one subtraction, it is more logical to praise Paul.
It seems that all signs are that "Crash" will be a dark horse to sprint to the finish line alongside "Brokeback Mountain," and Jessica thinks so.
However, when she opened the envelope and saw the answer on it, Jessica couldn't hide her surprise, her round eyes were stunned, this expression was clearly presented on the big screen through the camera, and all the audience at the scene had a "chuckle" in their hearts, and the tense heartstrings were pulled to the extreme - is this a good thing or a bad thing, what is Jessica surprised about, is there going to be an unpopularity? Finally going to be an upset tonight? Not a "crash" or a "fruit hard candy", but ......
"The 78th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay ......" Jessica's voice came out of the microphone with some hesitation, she raised her right hand and put it on her chest, it seemed to be a bandeau evening dress that covered her possible nakedness, but in fact, she suppressed her wildly beating heart, trying to calm herself down, she looked down at the card in her hand again, and confirmed the answer for the second and third time, the taste in her heart was indistinguishable, and she couldn't tell whether it was disappointment or what, "The winner is, Lancelot Strello," Fruit hard candies'. ”
…… Quiet, quiet...... Two seconds, three seconds...... Be quiet...... Syllable...... Bang Bang ...... The silence was broken by a sparse round of applause, followed by a momentary pause, and then people finally realized the meaning of the result - which also meant that the "fruit hard candy" that had been inseparable from "Brokeback Mountain" in the nomination stage, after winning the second golden man of the night, once again stood out and ran alongside "Brokeback Mountain" towards the finish line of Best Picture; This also means that the Best Director award is likely to witness history, and the odds of choosing one of Lee/Ann and Lance are infinitely magnified, and whoever wins the award will write history!
Bang Bang Bang!
The applause finally came together and thundered, and the eyes of the audience were all cast in the same direction - the edge of the corner, which is a great irony, isn't it?
Lance raised his eyebrows, not hiding his surprise at all, and even a little puzzled. This is a huge surprise, a surprise that even Lance himself did not expect, although "Fruit Hard Candy" also has a certain competitiveness in the script department, but the style of the work has always restricted the possibility of development, so Chaos Pictures did not concentrate on the fire strategy in the college's public relations process; For his part, Lance also thought that the script of "Killing with a Knife" was better than "Hard Fruit Candy", and he didn't think he would win the award at all.
However, the surprise appeared unexpectedly. (To be continued.) )
