The lights slowly lit up again, but the host didn't show up, and the big screen began to play a short video, the core of which was that this year's host Jon-Stewart complained to himself, and no one wanted to accept the hot potato of the Oscar host, and finally the pie fell from the sky and fell on his head - because many people believe that his style is only suitable for talk shows, not for hosting, let alone for Oscars. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In fact, the Oscar host is indeed a hot potato that no one wants to take over.

Last year, Chris Rock's jokes were too extreme, not only angered many artists, but even involved racial discrimination. At first, he tried to refute, but unexpectedly, it attracted more scolding, so Chris also died down.

This year, the Oscars have encountered many difficulties in inviting hosts, and Billy Christo, who has hosted the Oscars eight times, bluntly said that he has hosted too many times and is unwilling to take over; Black actress Whoopi Goldberg, who has received a lot of critical acclaim in the past two times, is also unwilling to bear such tremendous pressure again; Steve Martin and David Letterman have also turned down invitations. After much consideration, the organizers pushed Jon Stewart, who has excelled in talk shows in recent years, to the position of host for the first time.

However, the opening video clip seems a little boring, inviting the previous hosts to appear, directly to Oscar to eat closed-door soup, the idea is good, but the execution is unsatisfactory, except for the opening Billy Crystal and Chris Rock hiding in the tent, disheveled, ridiculing the scene of "Brokeback Mountain" after the hilarious, the whole video is lengthy and boring, and the laughter is constantly repeated. Finally, Jon even dreamed that he was sleeping in the same bed with George Clooney, and George told him: The awards ceremony has begun. Then, as the video ended, Jon walked onto the stage to a not-so-enthusiastic applause.

The atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward.

Not only because the video is not funny, but those so-called jokes don't make people laugh at all; Also because of George's appearance, this is almost equivalent to the official statement of position and support for George, considering Lance's unexpected presence today, the tension in the air makes the smile lose color, and even George's "supporters" don't know what reaction to make at this time, so as not to puncture the mask of Oscar and Le Rongrong.

"Thank you, thank you." Jon turned his head to look at everyone, "Gentlemen, ladies......" Jon looked at the circle for a while, and then paused awkwardly, "Felicity ......" Felicity Hoffman, this year in "Across America" won a full house with a wonderful performance as a transsexual, this is Jon's current meme, ridiculing Felicity is a transgender, not a man or a woman, causing many people at the scene to chuckle, "Hello everyone, I'm Jon Stewart, welcome to the 78th Academy Awards." ”

"Tonight, we're going to celebrate the Oscars together, with me, the lead actor of 'Kill the Szimmer 4.'" Jon once again teased himself at the fact that he had nothing to do with the movie, which is one of the reasons why he was questioned, "There are countless viewers who are now watching this awards ceremony with us, and more than half of them are waiting for the adoption of Angelina Jolie, and I am also on this queue list. ”

After the blow of Operation Smith, Angelina's activities in the second half of last year began to shift from movie screens to charity events — all because she changed her PR team, including her adoption of a number of children from Southeast Asia and Africa, which saved her a lot of image, but also became a meme in Hollywood. True insiders know what this is all about.

"Tonight was a rare occasion for many viewers because they didn't have to donate money to a charity foundation to see so many top stars." Jon's joke really made the audience a little unsure of how to react, and the laughter was sparse and very cold, "Of course, it is also very rare for everyone here, because you finally have the opportunity to vote for the winners." This time, the audience finally really laughed, and Jon seemed encouraged, "Yes, yes, learn to enjoy your vote, it's only once a year." The joke even drew applause from a small group of people.

Next, Jon began to ridicule Hollywood again, and the North American film market in 2005 was really sluggish, not only the box office declined significantly, but the average quality of the awards season also fell further. But Jon's joke was so painless that people couldn't laugh at all, only the audience in the back laughed dryly under the guidance of the staff.

Charlize, who was sitting next to him, bowed his head and whispered in Lance's ear, "So, we flew for more than twenty hours, and that's what it is?" ”

Charlize's complaints were funnier than Jon's, and the corners of Lance's mouth rose slightly, "I want to deny it, but unfortunately, I can't." This response made Charlize roll his eyes and point to the stage with his chin, "Maybe you should go on stage and take on the challenge, it can't get worse than this." ”

"Hey, Lance, Lancelot, the Knights of the Round Table who plays for England......" Jon's shout came, and the eyes of all the audience were projected towards Lance, and when he raised his gaze, Lance saw that the camera was aimed at himself and Charlize three steps away, but he didn't panic at all, but stared at Jon on the stage with wide eyes, and said, "You can see me?" Although Lance didn't have a microphone on him, the camera still caught a faint voice, and Lance's surprised tone and puzzled look seemed to say, "I thought there was no place for me tonight", and the taunt of the hidden needle immediately caused everyone around him to burst into laughter, which was better than all Jon's efforts after the opening.

Lance then showed a look of sudden realization, quickly sorted out his expression, looked around with a smile, and greeted the others on the scene, the obvious gap and the mask of pretentious gestures, and the ironic humor were revealed in the gestures. In an instant, everyone in the audience greeted with applause, which was the first full house after the start of the awards ceremony tonight.

"Lancelot-Strello!" Jon took the opportunity to introduce, "'Hard Candy', there were six nominations tonight, of which he won four nominations, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay...... Wow, wow! It's a pity that Warren Beatty isn't here tonight. This ridicule made the excitement of the scene drop a little, Warren's meme was used last year, and this year few people compare Lance with Warren, but more people are surprised that Lance has won the nomination for Best Director for three consecutive years, and Jon's joke naturally cannot satisfy everyone.

But Jon didn't turn back and could only continue, "So, how is the work you're busy shooting?" What's the name? 'Lawrence of Namibia'? This meme is even more far-reaching, drawing on the Oscar-winning film "Lawrence of Arabia", which tells the story of a British intelligence officer who leads Arab guerrillas to blow up a railroad and reunite Arab tribes. Now, Jon is ridiculing Lance's move to shoot a movie in Africa, which is actually to save African tribes, and at the same time echoes the previous meme of "Lancelot is British".

However, the guests at the scene couldn't laugh at all, because everyone knew why Lance went to Africa to shoot a movie, and when Jon mentioned it, it was simply a pot that he couldn't mention.

"I've heard that this work is also an Oscar favorite, and maybe it will be a strong contender for Best Picture as well." This is still continuing the meme of "Lawrence of Arabia", but the laughter on the scene has no sincerity.

But all of a sudden, everyone burst into laughter, and Jon was confused, and he looked back to see the big screen, the camera was pointed at Lance, who was shaking his head, putting his left index finger on his lips, and making a "shhhh

Sure enough, when Jon's gaze met Lance's, Lance shook his head again, pointed at Jon, and then put his finger on his lips, as if to say: The joke is not funny anymore, this meme is rotten, stop killing yourself.

Seeing Lance's two simple actions, all the guests laughed, especially when they saw Jon with a blank face, the comedic effect was even more outstanding, and the laughter of the audience couldn't stop at all.

Jon's heart was broken, but after all, he was a battle-hardened veteran, so he still forced himself to calm down and continued to speak, "Speaking of 'Fruit Hard Candy', in order to shoot this movie well, Lance has not only been implicated in several cases, but now he is even accompanied by a date, Scarlett Johansson, are you okay?" This sentence is just ridiculing a stalk, love/child/fetish, Scarlett is a child star, and she is only twenty-one years old this year.

However, at this time, the guests at the scene were not smiling - strictly speaking, even "meat" could not laugh, because the topic of fetish/child/fetish was too sensitive to be mentioned on any occasion. This is also one of the important reasons why the prospects for the "fruit hard candy" Oscars are bleak.

Then, the audience looked at the big screen again, and sure enough, they saw Lance deliberately slash his left hand across his neck, making a cutting suicidal gesture, and then, the screen went black directly - the live director obviously understood Lance's humor, Lance was suggesting that Jon should "cut himself off", and the topic about Lance had been said for too long and full of mistakes.

At this moment, applause and laughter erupted in unison, and some people even began to wipe the tears from the corners of their eyes, which was really a good laugh.

Jon stood on the stage, his mouth dry and helpless, but he had to force a smile, and he could only pretend to be calm and say, "Joke, it's just a joke because I'm jealous." But apparently, the ending was just more tragic – no comedian would say "I'm being humorous." (To be continued.) )
