Chapter 219: The Not Quite Brilliant Oscar (Part II)

After being nominated for Best Visual Effects, "Legend of Doom" was nominated for Best Editing, along with "American Beauty," "The Rules of the Cider House," "The Insider" and "The Sixth Sense," a total of five films that were nominated. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

However, "Legend of Doom" was not nominated for Best Art Direction, and the five films nominated were "Anna and the King", "The Rules of the Cider House", "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, Mr. Ripley" and "Soul Trouble".

"Not bad." Failed this nomination, Liang Xiaolong thinks it's normal, the story background of "Legend of Doom" is too simple after all, it just shows a post-apocalyptic world, lacks artistic xing, and is naturally not liked by the judges.

"It seems impossible to continue the success of Million Dollar Baby at the Oscars." Jessica sighed lightly, "Million Dollar Baby" broke four records in a row, and it was already a legend that could not be surpassed, or even copied.

"Since it's brilliant, let it hang forever." Liang Xiaolong laughed, the legend of "Million Dollar Baby" was created by him, and he didn't need to surpass it, he just needed to hang it on the record list forever and let future generations admire it.

Best Art Direction went missing, followed by Best Cinematography "Legend of Doom", and "American Beauty", "The End of Love", "The Insider" and "Snowflakes Falling on a Fir Tree" were also nominated. So far, "Legend of Doom" has received seven nominations, and there are still eight nominees waiting to be announced.

The Best Screenplay is divided into Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay, and "Legend of Doom" is adapted from the novel and will participate in the competition for Best Adapted Screenplay. Previously, Liang Xiaolong has been nominated for Best Screenplay three times and won two statuettes. Liang Xiaolong also hopes to be nominated for the fourth time.

"Honey, there shouldn't be any suspense, right?" Jessica has 12 points of faith in "Legend of Doom", and there are not many movies adapted from novels this year, but few can cause strong reactions. Coincidentally, the box office of "Legend of Doom" has been crazy all the way, and the plot is also very exciting, so there is a great chance to win this little golden man.

"There should be no problem with the nomination, as for the final ......" Liang Xiaolong smiled bitterly, fate is in the hands of the judges. His expectation was not wrong, "Legend of Doom" did get the nomination for Best Adapted Screenplay, along with "The Rules of the Cider House", "The Green Sè Miracle", "The Insider" and "The Genius Mr. Ripley".

In addition, the five films nominated for Best Original Screenplay are "Magnolia", "The Sixth Sense", "Soul Troubled World", "Becoming John Malkovich" and "American Beauty".

"There are only eight nominations." Rachel frowned, there are six nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Actor and Actress, Best Director and Best Picture, but the four awards of Best Actor and Actress and Best Supporting Actor and Actress, "Legend of Doom" are not competitive. It is conceivable that the final results of "Legend of Doom" will not be too good, even if every nomination wins the award, it will not be too good.

Sure enough, the two awards for Best Supporting Actor and Actress "Legend of Doom" fell short, and five were nominated for Best Supporting Actress, namely Tony of "The Sixth Sense". Camelot, Angelina of "Soul Shifting Girl". Julie, "Becoming John. Markovich's Catherine. Jena, Samantha from "Sweet and Humble". Morton and Mina in "American Beauty". Suvali.

It is worth mentioning that the original nomination included the supporting actress Chloe of "Boys Don't Cry". Sevignie, but this film has been shot in advance by Liang Xiaolong and helped Rachel win the Oscar. Therefore, this nomination was given by Mina of "American Beauty". Suwari mat.

The five people who won the best supporting actor were Michael of "The Rules of the Cider House". Kane, Tom of Magnolia. Cruise, Jude of "The Genius of Mr. Ripley". Law, "The Green Sè Miracle" by Michael. Duncan and Haley from The Sixth Sense. Joel. Osment.

Among them, the most noteworthy is the supporting role of "The Sixth Sense" Haley. Joel. Osment, at the age of eleven, is the youngest nominee in Oscar history. Little Haley took over the Pizza Hut commercial at the age of four, and at the age of six, he took over the role of "Forrest Gump". Hanks' son Forrest Gump, a very small character sè, is not overlooked.

The two nominations were disappointed, and the next Best Actress "Legend of Doom" also fell short, and the nominees were "American Beauty" Annette. Benin, Jannett of "Tumbleweeds". McTeer, Julianne of "The End of Love". Moore, Meryl of "Song of the Heart". Streep and Winona from "The Soul Shifter". Ryder.

Similarly, this nomination was supposed to have "Million Dollar Baby", but Rachel had already fulfilled it in advance, so it was won by Winona of "Soul Shifting Girl". Ryder mat.

"Can I get a nomination?" Liang Xiaolong suddenly asked, which made the three women laugh: "We thought you didn't care." ”

"Can you not care? Of course, I don't really care. Liang Xiaolong laughed, although he knew that his chances of winning the Oscar were slim, but it was also a great honor to be nominated for the actor for the first time when he starred in a film.

"Wow...... Congratulations, dear. Jessica suddenly hugged Liang Xiaolong, because Liang Xiaolong's name was already displayed on the TV, and Lusail from "The Insider" was also nominated. Crowe, Richard of "The Story of Stray". Farnswerki, Sean from "Sweet and Humble". Pan and Kevin of "American Beauty". Spessie.

In the end, there are only two nominations left, and "Legend of Doom" has already received nine nominations. However, Liang Xiaolong said that there was no pressure on the nomination of the latter two awards, although he didn't know if he could win the little gold man in the end, but there was absolutely no problem with the nomination.

Sure enough, the nominees for Best Director include Liang Xiaolong's "Legend of Doom", Sam. Menders, American Beauty, Rice. Houstrom, The Rules of the Apple House, Michael. Mann, The Insider, Knight. Shyamalan, "The Sixth Sense".

The nominees for Best Picture are: "Legend of Doom", "American Beauty", "The Rules of the Apple House", "The Insider" and "The Sixth Sense".

All the nominations were generated, with "Legend of Doom" topping the list with eleven nominations, followed by "American Beauty" with eight nominations, and the number of nominations for other films was also very limited. Moreover, although there are more nominations for "Legend of Doom" and "American Beauty", they do not overwhelm xing in many aspects, so this Oscar should be the most suspenseful Oscar.

Indeed, even if Liang Xiaolong himself says that the award for best visual effects can be won steadily, the other awards are highly controversial. Especially for the two awards of Best Director and Best Picture, "Legend of Doom" and "American Beauty" symbolize two extremes, the former is to give full play to the special effects, while the latter is to take the realistic approach to the extreme, which are two films with completely different concepts. In the end, whether the film can win the award depends on the love of the Oscar judges.

On the day the nominations were announced, major TV stations broadcast about it, celebrating the nominations of various films, and talking about some views on the film and the details of the film. Even, a TV host threatened: If the captain is allowed to win the Oscar, it will be really intolerable.

As an editor, in the past few years, Liang Xiaolong's scripts have generated more than $10 billion at the box office, won two statuettes, and can be called the most successful editor in the 90s. As an action director, he created the most classic action movies such as "Police and Thieves", "Black Fist", "Million Dollar Baby" and "Legend of Doom". As a director, he set an Oscar record and took away the best director. If, as an actor, he takes away the Oscar winner, he still can't call someone else's soul? Therefore, what the host said really makes sense, let him win the actor, it is intolerable.

In order to improve the competitiveness of the Oscars, Liang Xiaolong inevitably had to attend the press conference, just right, with Rachel and his son, as soon as he appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of all reporters. At the same time, the birth of Liang Xiaolong's son was also like the return of spring to the earth, which quickly spread throughout the United States and overseas.

In this matter, Liang Xiaolong earned enough popularity, and for a while, the limelight also overshadowed other star filmmakers. But in this case, an unexpected situation happened again. I remember last year, the Wall Street Journal bribed the Oscar judges very unscrupulously, broke a lot of news about the vote, and was finally reprimanded by the film school, and was suppressed by the Hollywood municipal FU. But I didn't expect that this year, the Wall Street Journal repeated its old tricks, and there appeared in the newspaper that so-and-so judges were optimistic about that film, and so-and-so judges predicted that the film would be able to pass the test.

"The Wall Street Journal is boring, isn't it?" Liang Xiaolong was a little speechless, the same thing, do it once fresh, do it twice, it will be crooked.

However, the film school responded very quickly this year, and almost in the Wall Street Journal, it reaffirmed the rule set last year: anyone who dares to leak the news will be permanently excluded from the film school. At the same time, it is blocked.

The film school's statement had a good effect, and at the same time, the Hollywood municipal government made corresponding coordination, and the matter slowly calmed down. However, just when everyone thought the storm was calm, something even more unbelievable happened: 4,200 ballots to be sent to the Oscar judges disappeared in transit at the post office.
