Chapter 280 Honor

Danny Ball jumped with excitement after receiving the trophy, "You are so generous to award me this honor, thank you to the Academy, now I have this award, but my children are grown, but I hope they can still win this award in the future." Thank you Mumbai, thank you to the people there who helped us make our films, and thank you to those who didn't help us, everything about you (Mumbai) overshadows this award. ”

There is nothing outstanding about the testimonial, and the audience may listen carefully because of the importance they attach to this award, but Lin Mingyang, who is standing next to Danny Ball, does not listen to the other party's testimonial at all. "Slumdog Millionaire" is a foregone conclusion at this year's Oscars, and the British director, who tells the story of Mumbai, India, and is an Indian film produced by an American film company, is obviously somewhat ingenious against the dual backdrop of the global financial crisis and the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

At least in Lin's view, this is not director Danny Ball's best films, and his past films have basically been about showing the theme of human evil. Now, when he is over 40 years old, he surprises the audience with the clichéd, warm and sharp "Rich and Poor". His previous films reflected life in purgatory, while "Rich and Poor" is a fairy tale drama blinding in the sun. This is a blood-spilled and absurd story that is impossible to occur in Britain today. The only way to make it happen in a credible time and space is only one or two hundred years ago in England, or in Mumbai today.

The status of India, Brazil, Russia, China and other BRIC countries appears in the vision of Western developed countries. It's an undeniable visual model that involves a lot of grand narratives and individual experiences, and that's why Danny Ball was able to win Best Director.

After thanking a long list of people, Danny Ball finally used up all his speaking time, probably because he was too excited, and when he came down from the front desk, he stumbled on his feet and almost fell. Fortunately, Lin Mingyang helped him in time, and after Danny Ball stood firm, he helped his glasses and thanked Lin Mingyang with palpitations.

The two broke up offstage, and the camera of the live broadcast did not follow Danny Ball to capture his celebration offstage, but followed Lin Mingyang back to his seat, where Julie took the initiative to lean into his ear, covered half of his face with his hand and whispered a few words, Lin Mingyang just smiled after hearing it.

The camera turned back to the front desk again, and the winner of the Best Actress was about to be revealed, in order to attract attention, the Oscar organizing committee invited 4 past Oscar actresses to serve as award presenters for this award, and the live camera swept over the faces of several nominees in the audience one by one, and the picture finally stopped at Angelina Jolie.

The other nominees were more or less nervous at this time, only Julie looked relaxed, and her appeal for the award was the highest on the Internet, but unfortunately the Oscar was not the People's Choice Award, and according to convention, the most popular nominees in the online selection basically missed the award.

Sure enough, when the four award presenters shouted Kate Winslet's name in unison, "Fat Wen" covered her mouth excitedly, while the other nominees sat there with different expressions, and when the camera came to Julie's side again, she was talking and laughing with Lin Mingyang on the side, looking at the expression on her face, it was difficult to find a trace of loss.

With 5 previous Oscar nominations, Kate Winslet has finally fulfilled her dream of being an actress, and no one in Hollywood has ever received so much Oscar recognition among female movie stars under the age of 40. When she received the trophy, the venue rang out with the warmest applause since the beginning of the award ceremony.

Each winner came to the stage to receive the award, took the trophy and spoke, the countdown display on the stage began to work, the winner can see the black back plate marked with white letters 45 seconds to start counting down, and when 10 seconds, the back plate of the monitor turned yellow, the countdown number was black, and when the timer cleared, the display turned red, and kept flashing: "Please end." But most of the winners ignored the countdown cards, and Winslet, who had fulfilled his long-cherished wish today, cried and thanked many friends.

"I would be lying if I said I hadn't prepared my speech beforehand. When I was 8 years old, I was holding a shampoo bottle and pretending to win an Oscar in front of the mirror, and now, it's finally not a shampoo bottle anymore."

To another round of applause, Winslet walked off the stage with her beloved "shampoo bottle" in her arms. In order to save time, the host did not have any strings at all, and directly invited the best actor to present the award.

The live broadcast screen still captures the expressions of several nominees in the crowd as usual, probably because the photographer's lens "patronized" Lin Mingyang has reached the number of times required by the director, or it may be that the time for gags between several award presenters is a little shorter, in short, Lin Mingyang has not been seen in the camera, and the picture has turned back to the foreground.

Coincidentally, among the two presenters this time, one is Daniel Lewis, the actor of the last Oscars, and the other is Jack Nicholson, who was sitting with Lin Mingyang not long ago.

"Mr. Nicholson, I don't know if you noticed, two of the five actors nominated this time have won this award before." Daniel Lewis made a point of mentioning this when introducing several nominees, referring to Lim Mingyang and Sean Penn, of course.

"In fact, the two people you mentioned have the highest demand for awards on the Internet, and they are both very controversial figures in reality..."Jack Nicholson even pointed the finger at their performance in real life.

Lin Mingyang has rapidly risen to become the most dazzling new star in Hollywood in just 6 years, and in the process he has been accompanied by various scandals and controversies. The topic of who his girlfriend really is has been an unsolved mystery in Hollywood over the years. The youngest Oscar-winning actor and the most legendary chairman of a film company, no matter how the media has slandered and satirized him over the years, Lin Mingyang's self-styled character and popularity momentum are almost unstoppable.

Sean Penn's fame began in the 80s of the 20th century, when he was the undisputed figure in the entertainment industry, and he was also the second actor in Hollywood history to win the best actor at the Cannes, Berlin and Venice film festivals and the Oscar. However, his fame cannot be attributed entirely to his charming acting skills, his bad temper, and his brief marriage to Madonna are the main reasons that made him a household name.

Looking at Sean Penn's resume, it can be described as a "bad record" in the summer, when he threw stones at a British photojournalist. The following spring, he threw his old fist at Daniel Volynsky again, only for the songwriter to kiss "Mrs. Pan" Madonna in a friendly way. For this, Sean Penn was given a one-year suspended sentence. A few months later, he was furious again, kicking the ass of two photojournalists who were ambushed in front of his New York apartment. After that, he lived quietly for a year, but when he found out that an extra was secretly taking pictures of him in the studio, he couldn't help but rush forward and beat the unlucky guy with a swollen nose and face. The physical assault kept Sean Penn in jail for a month. After he was released from prison, Pan's temper was much better, and he was able to handle the flickering flashes with composure, only occasionally showing the unquenchable flame in his chest in front of the camera.

Lin Mingyang is a scandal-ridden "playboy", and Sean Penn is a bad-tempered "bad boy", and the two do have to fight each other in terms of personality. Among the five nominees, the two of them are the most famous, and making fun of them has naturally become a "sharp weapon" used by the award presenters to warm up the scene.

Daniel Lewis humorously chimed in: "I think one of the biggest things they have in common is that they don't like journalists very much, and if the winner is one of the two of them, I think the editors-in-chief of major Hollywood media should have a headache about how to get the opportunity to interview the new actors."

"But the other nominees were also very good, and I wouldn't be surprised if any of them won." Jack Nicholson put a timely sniff on Lin Mingyang and Sean Penn before turning the conversation back to the awards.

"When I sat in the audience last year, I used to complain that the guests on the stage talked too much nonsense, but now that I have become a guest, I have also become a chatter when I present the awards, is this the charm of the Oscars?" Daniel Lewis nodded, "Okay, I know a few people in the audience can't wait, so let's ask Mr. Nicholson to open the envelope and announce the results to everyone."

At this moment, all eyes were on Jack Nicholson's hand, who expertly opened the envelope and shared the note with the list of winners with Daniel Lewis next to him.

"I announce that the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is..."Jack Nicholson's long coda did not drag out the name of the winner, but the atmosphere of the scene was fully mobilized by him.

Daniel Lewis, who worked well with him, followed closely behind and shouted the names of the winners in a high-pitched and loud figure.

The scene immediately boiled, the audience in the back row applauded vigorously, screams and cheers were continuous, Lin Mingyang got up from his seat, bowed deeply to the audience in front of the stage, and when he got up, he stretched out his arms and made a gesture of hugging the audience, of course, he also hugged the thunderous applause of the audience.

The long-lasting applause lasted until Lin Mingyang hugged Daniel Lewis, and then took the trophy from Jack Nicholson, which gradually subsided, before Lin Mingyang delivered his acceptance speech, the electronic screen behind the stage played back the 78th Academy Awards, Lin Mingyang received the award at the 78th Academy Awards, three years later Lin Mingyang stood on the Oscar stage again, ready to receive the second actor trophy.

Before Lin Mingyang himself could speak, the audience couldn't help but stand up, and the standing drum applause resounded throughout the theater, Lin Mingyang held the trophy high, responding to the enthusiastic reaction of the audience.

Daniel Lewis and Jack Nicholson, who were standing beside him, were full of emotion at the moment, they were also Oscar winners, and they had never enjoyed such a warm atmosphere when they won the award. If Lin Mingyang's last award was a dark horse for an upset, this time he really deserves this honor.

The applause faded away, and Lin Mingyang could finally start his acceptance speech. Other award winners like to hold the trophy in their hands when they give speeches, but Lin Mingyang lightly put the trophy aside and straightened the microphone.

"I am very honored to be the first actor in the history of the Oscars to win an Oscar for playing a villain, and I can also win an award for playing a villain, and the Oscar has given me a taste of his tolerance for art, so I would like to express my gratitude to the Academy here... Of course, I also have to thank the role of the Joker, without whom I would not be standing here today; Without him, I wouldn't have known I could have played a role so well."

Looking at the reminder board on the opposite side, the 45-second speaking time has not yet run out, Lin Mingyang continued after a pause of half a second: "Like other winners, in fact, I have a lot to say, but I don't think it will be the last time I stand on the podium of the Oscars to make a speech, in order to have something to say in the future, I will say so much now, thank you."

Lin Mingyang hugged the trophy and kissed it lightly, then waved to the audience, and walked off the stage in a chic manner.

The award ceremony continued, but many people were still reminiscing about Lin Mingyang's speech just now. In fact, no matter how famous the Oscars are, the process of the awards ceremony will inevitably have boring elements, and it is definitely a painful ordeal to make ordinary audiences hold on to the TV for two hours in addition to hardcore fans.

Every organizing committee tries their best to make the show more interesting, and there is never a shortage of big-name stars on the Oscar stage, but on this stage, it's not you who are famous, and the audience will like you.

Many stars are usually very popular, but their charm has decreased sharply when they appear on the Oscar stage, and the reason is that the awards ceremony itself is just an event to announce the results, which has been held for more than 80 years, and it is already difficult to play any tricks, and most of the performances of the award-winning stars are decent excitement, tears and then a lengthy thank you. Generations of viewers have long grown tired of these repetitive procedures, so much so that the ratings of the Oscars show a trend of declining year by year.

Of course, the awards of some stars will attract much attention, and the ratings of the same period will increase significantly. Just like the Oscars are not over yet, the video clip of Lin Mingyang's award has received more than 1 million views on it. The audience likes to see stars like Lin Mingyang win awards at the Oscars because a small number of Hollywood movie stars represented by Lin Mingyang are often different when they give their acceptance speeches, and actors with personality are often more easily loved by the audience.

The awards ceremony continues, and the highlight of every day will fall on the competition for the best picture, but this year's award was unexpectedly swept away by "Millionaire in the Slum", although the award presenter is the famous Spielberg, but the audience reaction is not positive, and when the filmmaker came to the stage to accept the award, the applause was not as warm as when Lin Mingyang accepted the award just now.

The whole award ceremony came to an end with a cheer of anticipation, and the top hit "Slumdog Millionaire", which had already set a record for winning awards of the year, unsurprisingly won eight awards, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Editing.

Compared with last year's Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress, the results of this year's four major acting awards seem to be decent, the best supporting actress is like the gorgeous enthronement ceremony of Spanish sister Penelope Cruz, and the best supporting actor has unsurprisingly become the Josh Brolin in "Mick's Biography".

In contrast, the competition for the best actor and actress is the most suspenseful award of this year, Kate Winslet won the old actor Meryl Streep in one fell swoop, and finally ended the glorious regret record of five nominations without being able to do so, and with only one year of dedication to the two major performance masterpieces of "Reader" and "** Road", this award is also indisputable.

Lin Mingyang and Sean Penn's most comparable actor duel in history ended with Lin Mingyang's precise acting skills in "The Dark Knight", although it is the second time he has won the title of actor, but from Lin Mingyang's acceptance speech, it can be seen from the beginning of Lin Mingyang's acceptance speech that the hard-won and heavyweight of this award is worth remembering for a lifetime. Although the attribution of these major performance awards is not unexpected, the peerless grand occasion of the awards is still enough to bring out the emotions of the audience to the extreme, especially when Lin Mingyang won the award, the audience stood up and saluted, which is a rare grand scene at the Oscars.

The awards other than the acting awards are basically evenly distributed, with few dark horses except for Japan's "The Undertaker" for best foreign language, the popular animated film "Wall-E the Robot" swept away the shame of the Annie Award, and the original screenplay and adapted screenplay awards were taken away by the frontrunners "Milk" and "Slumdog Millionaire" in their respective categories.

The technical awards were divided equally between "Slumdog Millionaire" and "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", and there were occasional lightweight upsets such as "The Duchess" for Best Costume Design and "The Dark Knight" for Best Sound Editing, and the overall ending was a happy ending.
