Chapter 140: The Oscars
The Oscars ceremony kicked off with a rhythmic piece of music.
"Ladies and gentlemen, Billy Christo, host of the 72nd Academy Awards!"
As the curtain rang, the curtain opened, and a policeman in a police uniform walked out of the curtain with Billy Crystal in his arms. Such a funny opening also made the scene chuckle, followed by music and applause.
"I'm sure I'm in the right place, so ...... You see, the Los Angeles police carried me here very warmly. As soon as the scene began, Billy Crystal shrugged his shoulders and teased, "I'd like to thank the enthusiastic LAPD, oh, and the guy who hugged me, and of course it would be even better if you squirted more cologne, man!" β
"Haha......"
There was laughter at the scene, of course, it didn't matter if it was really funny. At least this opening sentence sets the mood up.
Then the comic began to dance on the stage again, dancing and singing the wolf howl in praise of the Oscars' wonderful night, and then used his unique humor to include all the films shortlisted for the Oscars in his singing, and at the same time began to bring the rhythm of the scene.
Looking at the stars who were constantly swept by the camera at the Oscars, everyone cooperated very well to set off the atmosphere together.
Billy Crystal is a veteran of hosting the Oscars, and this is his seventh time hosting the Oscars, and he is familiar with everything from his appearance to the adjustment of the atmosphere.
At the same time, "Green Miracle" was ridiculed by Billy Crystal as soon as it came up, from the starring Tom Hanks to the three-hour film length, which became the object of ridicule by this guy. And the camera will also focus the camera on Tom Hanks who was ridiculed at the right time.
Immediately afterwards, Hilary Swank, a thin beauty who had just won the Golden Globe Award, was also ridiculed.
Looking at Hilary Swank, who was ridiculed on the TV, the embarrassed smirk of the new Golden Globe actress made Sean, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the AB live broadcast, smash his mouth.
Immediately after "The Sixth Sense", the starring "long-haired" Bruce Willis, the supporting actor in "There is Always a Bright Sun", the great old actor Michael Kane, and the starring Kevin Spacey of "American Beauty" were all ridiculed by Billy Christo, the famous American talk show host and harmony star, and every ridicule made the scene laugh.
Watching Kevin Spacey and his partner Annette Bening, who smiled and showed two dimples, appear in the camera, this kind of embarrassment of watching the big star being ridiculed. Sean watched it with relish.
Especially when he saw Russell Crowe, dressed in a tuxedo, appear, Sean smiled even more unscrupulously. Can you imagine Russell Crowe sitting there like a schoolboy? Anyway, Sean laughed when he saw Russell Crow's tight face, he didn't think Russell Crow would have such an interesting scene.
"Shet, this guy is literally filming The Matrix." Sean teased Doug Riman as he drank his beer, "I think these guys must be nervous to death right now." I just saw this group of guys all laughing so stiffly...... I think it must have been Oscar's air conditioning turned on too much, and these guys were frozen. β
Doug Riman smiled faintly. Continue watching the Oscars.
As Billy Crystal said in the opening remarks, this year's Oscars are really star-studded and full of good films. It seems that every movie and every actor has the opportunity to win one of the statuettes.
After the opening speech, Cameron Diaz, a supermodel, appeared with Chinese actress Lucy Liu, and the two of them presented the first award, the Costume Design Award. The winner was the costume drama "Song and Play".
Looking at this Chinese woman with single eyelids, Sean saw Chinese people for the first time in the Hollywood film industry. Despite being a Chinese-American, this feeling still makes Sean feel very good. In Hollywood, the influence of the Chinese is minimal.
followed by a few performances, and then awarded two technical awards for best sound effects and best makeup. And the best sound effect was won by the crew of "The Matrix".
When this award was won, the hacker phalanx also burst into applause.
As the most influential film in 99, "The Matrix" is also regarded by many filmmakers as a popular candidate for this year's Oscar Technology Awards, and it is definitely the kind of popular candidate with a dominant position.
Whether it's the meaning of the film, how wonderful it is, or the changes it brings, it's enough to make it a great enough epoch-making film. Not to mention the brain-burning settings such as matrix theory, occultism, etc., just look at the setting of bullet time on the rotten streets of the United States since the film, which is enough for it to take away a few statuettes.
Apparently. As directors and producers, the Wachowski siblings were selected for the Oscars this time, and they also had great ambitions.
The two siblings, Larry Wachowski, who wears glasses obscenely, and Andy Wachowski, who looks like a butcher, sit in the audience. Whenever the camera swept over, the two of them pretended to be cold, but how could obscenity and horizontal meat not get close to Gao Leng, right?
Anyway, Sean thinks these two guys are the second unpleasant guys in the whole game. As for who the first is?
Don't you see the beautiful soup with her hair constantly shaking and looking like a cool man? This guy never changes his personality of loving the present and being in the limelight. In order to attract the camera, he frequently shook his hair, and Sean was worried about whether his hair would be thrown out all at once and buckled on Bruce Willis's head in front of him.
God knows if this guy Willis will throw a punch at Liangyu's pretty face.
Nicole Kidman, who sat next to Tom Cruise, kept smiling politely. From time to time, she cooperated with her husband to bow his head and whisper a few words, helping Tom Cruise attract the camera. The two of them are completely a loving husband and wife and a model in the circle, and no one can see that there is a crack in the relationship between the two people.
They always maintain the image of this model husband and wife to the outside world, a typical husband and wife. However, this kind of shaping has also made Tom Cruise indeed gain a lot of fans, and he loves his family-loving and responsible performance.

With the introduction of the moderator. Tall and handsome, wearing a black suit and a black bow tie, a smiling Chinese man walked out of the backstage with his pockets in his pocket.
"Chow Yun-fat?!"
When Sean saw the moment when the male Chinese showed honor. I can't help but think of a word. At the same time, countless movie images flashed through my mind.
Swish!
Sean stood up suddenly, almost spilling the beer on the coffee table, and this excited look made Dougliman, Michelle, and Mina on the side all subconsciously look puzzled.
"What's wrong, Sean? The Hoyunat Awards doesn't make you feel excited, right? Michelle looked at Sean with a smile and suddenly said, "Oh, I see." You're a quarter Chinese, aren't you? It seems that you are really excited to meet your compatriots. Hoyunat is a great actor, and his performance of "Anna and the King" is very good! Looks like he's your idol......"
ββ¦β¦β
Sean didn't answer, but smiled at the dashing and handsome man on the screen. Among the group of blondes and blue eyes, Chow Yun-fat, who has yellow skin and black hair, is so conspicuous.
"Hoyunat is really a good actor, in fact, he and Johnoo have made a few previous films that really show his temperament. I remember that movie was called "True Colors of Heroes", right? There is also a "Bloody Couple" that is also very good, and I have also seen these two low-budget movies he acted in, although the picture quality is not high, but it is indeed a good work. These two Oriental-made films were high at the Hollywood box office. β
Doug Liman nodded, obviously as a professional filmmaker, he was more familiar with Chow Yun-fat and John Woo. Moreover, John Woo is now a first-line director in the ascendant. The successes of "The Ultimate Target", "Broken Arrow", and "Changing Face" made him hot in Hollywood.
Even Liang Tang handed over the crucial second part of his bottom-of-the-box series of movies "Mission Impossible" to this Chinese first-line director to shoot. It is rumored that "Mission Impossible 2" will be officially released in May this year.
Chow Yun-fat is a very surprising easter egg for Sean at the Oscars, there is a pony in a trench coat in a corner of his heart, Ah Zheng who sings an erhu in prison, and Ah Lang who rushes into the fire. Of course, these are all imprints in his mind, but they are also enough to affect Sean's mood.
Chow Yun-fat, as the guest of honor, presented a technical award. The award is not very heavy, and it is called a sound clip. The winner is "The Matrix", which has just won the best sound, and I have to say that in terms of technical awards, "The Matrix" is indeed strong, and half of several awards fell into their arms.
Watch Chow Yun-fat award the little golden man to Dain Davis, the sound editor of "The Matrix". The demeanor of the Oriental actor also came to an abrupt end at this year's Oscars. Leave only a charming smile and a signature wave.
It can only be said that Dane Davis is very lucky, excluding the 47 million viewers in North America, at this moment in the gathering place of Chinese and the whole of Asia, I think many people will remember this name called Dain Davis, right? Not because of anything else, just because the Oriental actor personally presented him with the award. He is enough to be remembered by many fans.
At least Sean remembered this guy called Dane Davis.
Then one by one the stars began to appear on stage. Either introducing a certain movie, or making a cameo in the middle to bring some performances, so that the scene is always lively, and with the announcement of these not too important awards, the first important award has finally kicked off.
Best Supporting Actress!
When he saw James Cobain, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, appear on the stage with silver hair and a thin beard, Sean stared nervously at the screen without blinking his eyes, which made Doug Liman and Michelle on the side look at each other and smile. (To be continued......)
ps:ps: I see that some brothers gave a ridicule to the potato stew written by Lao Ye. Indeed, a clerical error.
Look at the back of the beef to know that Lao Ye wants to write beef stewed potatoes, at that time actually wrote all potatoes as potatoes, and then felt that the word potato is too strong, foreigners are called potatoes, Lao Ye went to change, and then it may have caused a clerical error. Originally, it was beef stew with potatoes, but I changed the beef to potatoes in a flash.
Thank you for the correction, it's really a mistake. made Lao Ye himself want to laugh, potato stewed potatoes......
