Chapter 1468: The First Suspense

After all the guests were in place, the award ceremony officially kicked off, and this year's ceremony began with the performance of the Best Costume Design Award nominations, which made Hugo feel a little speechless, not only Hugo, but all the guests on the scene looked a little weird, because this year's nominated works are really ...... Particularly.

"Restoration of vanity" is a gorgeous costume of the court, which has a unique flavor; And although most of the "Braveheart" are civilian costumes during the war, there are also many court costumes, which are worth seeing.

The background of the story of "Richard III" is adapted to the thirties of the twentieth century, which is very close to the modern feeling; "Sense and emotion" are more of the costumes of the early nineteenth century, although they have strong characteristics of the times, but most of them are rural commoner costumes, which are naturally not as gorgeous and cumbersome as the aristocracy.

The last seat belongs to the "Twelve Monkeys", which ...... Isn't this a science fiction movie that has nothing to do with costumes?

The costumes of these five works appeared on the same stage at the same time, and the spectacular scene turned the fashion show into a silly and funny show, and the eerie crossing effect made it difficult to know how to react. So, just one opening made everyone messy in the wind, and almost everyone's face seemed to be smiling, angry, and the expression was really elusive. It would be interesting if the director was willing to capture the expressions of the guests.

Charlize, who was sitting on Hugo's right, was still a little nervous, but when she saw the model come out in a prisoner's costume and follow the hem of the court skirt, she almost stopped laughing, and she cast a glance at Hugo, as if to say, "Is this normal?" Hugo was also dumbfounded, shook his head, and said that he didn't understand what the director was thinking.

Today's seating arrangement is very interesting, not according to the crew members, but according to the awards department. The four nominees in the acting department sat together, with Charlize on Hugo's right, and Nicolas Cage on his right; On the left-hand side is Meryl Streep, and further past is Anthony Hopkins; And behind Hugo is Kevin Spacey.

The laughable opening soon ended in a state of embarrassment, before Whoopi Goldberg appeared on stage in a loose leopard-print floor-length dress, drawing a chorus of whistles and laughter. Since last year's hosting of David Letterman could be called a disaster, Whoopi, who was highly acclaimed the year before, accepted the invitation again and appeared in the presenter's position.

The second time she appeared on this stage, Whoopi was obviously still a little nervous, she just walked on the stage and mixed garlic under her feet, but she didn't panic at all, stopped in place, raised her head and looked at the quiet guests below, it seemed that everyone was frightened by this little accident, she glanced at the first few rows of guests, and finally stopped on Hugo, "Oh, oh, oh, little naughty, don't look at me with that kind of eyes, although you have never been my type, but I still have a fast heartbeat." ”

The director found the right time to focus the camera on Hugo, and then Hugo's stunned expression appeared on the big screen, and in an instant, the whole scene clapped and laughed. Hugo also reacted at this time, and Whoopi actually made fun of him by taking advantage of this accident, which made him chuckle.

After Whoopi resolved the small crisis, she calmly walked to the center of the stage again, "Wow, it's the annual Oscar season again, it's Christmas for the actors, but this Santa Claus doesn't necessarily give everyone gifts." Whoopi opened the scene with a light-hearted joke, "Personally, though, I've always liked movie actors, no, I should say I have a lot of respect for them." ”

"Movie stars can play all kinds of roles, tall, short, fat, skinny......" Whoopi said, gesturing and outlining the proportions of his body with his plump figure, which made the scene burst into chuckles, "Sometimes they are dressed as politicians, sometimes they are street beggars, and sometimes they are street prostitutes." Woman. When this last word came out, a small number of people at the scene burst out softly, because "prostitute." The word "female" is not allowed to appear on public television broadcasts, but Whoopi doesn't pay much attention to it, and quickly brings it up, "I admire them, I adore them, but sometimes I am unhappy with them, such as some of them only work with their other half." ”

After Whoopi finished speaking, he paused and looked in the direction of Brad Pitt, which immediately reminded people of Brad and Gwyneth's collaboration in "The Seven Deadly Sins", and the scene immediately rang out with a light laugh, Brad laughed heartlessly, and Gwyneth, who was sitting next to Brad, obviously had a stiff expression.

Whoopi paused for a moment and continued, "Sometimes I get scared of them because they're always playing the role of some horrible murderer or psychopath. Whoopi glanced at him slightly, and fell on Hugo, and the people around him laughed even more happily, and the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was also outlined, and he shrugged his shoulders helplessly, as if to show his kindness, which made people smile even brighter.

"Sometimes they feel jealous because they can always have something to do with the lover of their dreams." Whoopi's gaze spun around for half a circle, and finally landed on Emma Thompson, and everyone in the audience clapped and laughed.

When Emma was filming "Sense and Sensibility", she, as a screenwriter, wrote a kiss scene with Hugh Grant out of selfishness. This scene Lee. Ann finished filming, but the final release version was all cut out, because there was no need to save zĂ i for this scene. Emma also admitted that she wrote this scene because she wanted to kiss Hugh.

Emma herself didn't mind, and actually gave Whoopi a flying kiss, which made the applause even more enthusiastic.

Although the opening fashion show was really miserable, it is undeniable that Whoopi's ease and witty remarks made the atmosphere of the scene immediately rise.

In the opening scene of less than seven minutes, Whoopi ridiculed almost the whole of Hollywood, and finally deliberately showed his squinting eyes and looked Hugo up and down, "Dear Hugo, you know that you always have my heart." This caused the audience to burst into laughter again, and Hugo smiled helplessly, "So, let's reveal the final result of the chaotic opening scene, rest assured, this time we don't need to see prisoners and nobles performing on the same stage." ”

This unobstructed but innocuous ridicule made everyone applaud and sent Whoopi down, and then the award presenters appeared on the stage, announcing the winner of the Best Costume Design Award.

Due to this year's ingenuity of the Oscars, the Best Costume Design Award was mentioned to the first award, so the supporting role department was not awarded at the beginning according to the convention, but several technical awards were awarded in advance, and the Best Art Direction Award was also won by "Flashy Temporary Loan", and in the competition for the Best Cinematography Award, "Braveheart" won the first statuette tonight.

If the suspense of the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Art Direction Award is not big, then the competition for the Best Cinematography Award is undoubtedly very fierce, in this department, there are not only commercial blockbusters such as "Batman Forever" shortlisted, but also "Sense and Emotion" such delicate and deep works of art as "Sense and Emotion" are shortlisted, and "Seven Deadly Sins" such a sharp style is also among the nominees, but the result is that "Brave Heart" is strong and strong, which is really unexpected by everyone.

No one will forget that in the race for best picture tonight, "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" are in the lead, while "Sense and Sensibility" and "Pig Baby" are the absolute favorites before the Oscars. Now, apparently, "Braveheart" is starting to get started.

Tonight's awards ceremony is obviously going to be a lot of fun.

Then, tonight's first major departmental awards were officially staged, with last year's Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, Martin Landau, taking the stage to present the Best Supporting Actress award.

This year's Best Supporting Actress department is undoubtedly very interesting, because the overall strength is not outstanding, originally people were most optimistic that Kate Winslet relied on "Sense and Emotion" to come out, but as a result, Kate not only lost the Golden Globe Award, but also the prospect of "Sense and Emotion" in the Oscars began to be blocked, which made the award trend confusing.

In the end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences once again showed its love for Woody Allen, a young man of culture, and after last year's award for Best Supporting Actress for Woody's "Bullets Over Broadway," this year's award was again given to Woody's "Not Strong." Spring. Medicine", Mira Sovino won the Oscar again after winning the Ballon d'Or in an upset.

This is undoubtedly a sight to behold, because Mira has been blamed after the Golden Globes, and it is widely believed that her strength is not enough to be crowned with the award, especially since the Oscars always like to reward young actresses, according to this law, the chances of winning the award for Mira, who is twenty-nine years old this year, are definitely not as good as Kate, who is only twenty years old. However, this is the Oscar, and the first-time nominee Mira made a splash and won her first statuette, and the academy lifted the veil of this year's Oscars in an unconventional way.

The Best Supporting Actor award was awarded immediately afterwards, which made everyone begin to be suspicious, if you follow the trend of the Best Supporting Actress Award, then the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is...... Brad Pitt?
