Chapter 215: Emperor Seal

"I'm glad to see that the organizers have lowered the bar for this awards gala, even the traditional red carpet has been canceled, and if you don't already know, I'll bring this message to you by the way."

Steve. With a little humor, Martin opened the Oscars with a little humor.

"Nicole. Kidman has never used a fake nose in the previous films, so this time "All the Time" brought her good luck, Nicole, your fake nose looks good. ”

"Harry. Berry was sitting there, and I was about 22 feet away from her, which should be the closest the law allowed. ”

"Daniel. Sandler, your accomplishments and excellence have made me want to hide my face and leave this stage, well, the Oscars are over now. ”

"This is my second time hosting an Oscar extravaganza, and it's like going on a date with a lover, which makes me very excited and honored."

The opening scene is to ridicule the stars and the host themselves as usual, although it is not suitable to be too lively today, but everyone can't all spend this event with a sad face.

So Steve's efforts are still very necessary.

Before the first presenter came out, Steven said his last words.

"I just want everyone to be safe and happy."

This gave the audience a minute's applause.

The first award of this year's Oscars was Best Animated Feature, Japan's Hayao Miyazaki, who defeated American rivals including "Ice Age" with "Spirited Away". For Asian audiences, "Spirited Away" and "Heroes" attracted much attention.

China's palace-level director Zhang, directed this three-stage martial arts film, lost to "Tell Her" at the Golden Globe Awards, but the latter was not shortlisted for the Oscar. So for a while, public opinion was still optimistic about "Hero", but as the ceremony approached and the situation became clear, it didn't seem to have a particularly good chance of winning, so the main actors of Director Zhang's crew did not come to the Oscars today.

Daniel saw Director Zhang himself. They didn't know each other in the previous life, and of course they must have heard each other's names.

Daniel really wants "Hero" to win an award, but he can't exert influence, which is a bit inexplicable. And. To be honest, director Zhang's film is definitely not his best work, this landmark box office blockbuster for Chinese commercial films, is still somewhat lacking in artistry.

Soon. Daniel needed a standing ovation, and "The Two Towers" won the award for Best Visual Effects, and the four winners took the stage to speak in turn. Legel also hugged Daniel tightly before taking the stage.

From Catherine. Zeta. Since Jones won Best Supporting Actress, this slow-burning party finally had a bit of a lively atmosphere.

Catherine seemed to have forgotten the background of the day, and she was a little carried away with joy.

"Thank you so much to the people who gave me the little golden figure here, I can't believe it's real! Oh, my God! It's so ...... I would like to say that there are so many hormones in my body that I can't cope with this scene right now...... Thanks Rob. Marshall, Harvey. Weinstein ...... My son Dylan. Thank you so much. ”

But she apparently has no plans to mention her partner Renee. Zweig, so happily went backstage.

"The award for Best Foreign Language Film goes to ...... "Nowhere to Live", Germany.

Daniel's slightly raised heart fell back all of a sudden, everything was as usual, there was no change, and "Hero" still lost to "Nowhere to Be Home".

However, Daniel didn't think about the topic for too long, because the best actor was coming soon.

Colin. Farrell has taken the stage to present the award for best cinematography, this award. "Chicago", "The Pianist" and "My Grand Greek Wedding" were all shortlisted.

After a boring sigh, Farrell tore open the envelope.

"The award for Best Editing goes to Jeff. Joan, My Grand Greek Wedding. ”

Daniel's eyes widened suddenly, and it was a real surprise. "Greek Wedding" was supposed to be a grainless piece.

Jeff was visibly dumbfounded, unlike the other finalists, he didn't have any particularly well-known works, otherwise it would have been difficult to get on the crew of "Greek Wedding" in the first place, but with the help of all parties, he cut a good film with a good rhythm - which was obviously noticed by the Academy.

"It's not a dream. But I really can't believe it all. Jeff choked up and said, "I want to thank a lot of people, Nia, thank you for acting and writing, Daniel, this wonderful work wouldn't be possible without you, you're a genius, absolutely ......"

If you don't look closely, you won't be able to notice that Daniel's face is trembling slightly as he laughs and applauds.

Yes, no matter how calm he was before, no matter how sure he was about this award, but in the last lesson, he was still nervous.

There is no one who is not nervous.

With Harry. Berry walks backstage in a gold gown.

When the announcement of the nominees begins.

Daniel felt like he was a little out of breath.

Daniel. Sandler's "The Pianist...... Daniel. Wear. Lewis, "Gangs of New York" ...... Michael. Kane...... Nicholas. Cage...... Jack. Nicholson, "About Schmidt".

The screen cuts out the scene where Daniel lies on the couch because of hunger and lack of water, his lips tremble slightly, his thin cheekbones are raised high, his face is sallow, and his big eyes reveal an unnatural brilliance - as if he saw the light of God, and the hoarse voice in his throat is like a tattered windmill, shaking this fragile life.

This peak performance caused spontaneous applause from everyone.

The faces of five people were visible on the big screen.

Daniel is right in the middle.

In a cluster of wrinkled, gray hairs, Daniel was as tender as a freshly washed, watery green apple. He smiled formulaically, but his lips pursed slightly from time to time, indicating that he was quite nervous.

Everyone looked at this face, and they really didn't know what it was like, the 24-year-old Oscar winner? This makes countless actors who are seventy or eighty unable to win this award feel embarrassed. The Oscars have been held for the 75th time, which is the 75th actor, and in the past 80 years in Hollywood, how many actors have there been? No one can tell.

At this moment, whoever it is, I'm afraid to hope that Harry. Berry pronounced out the name not Daniel. Sandler.

Daniel. Wear. Lewis still has that shy smile, he is indeed a shy person, but this is not shown in the movie at all, although his performance in "Gangs of New York" is not at its peak, but it still won him the Los Angeles Film Critics and the New York Filmmakers Association Award.

Everyone saw him smile and glance sideways at Daniel next to him, and Daniel of course quickly turned his head as well, and the two of them looked at each other.

This scene became one of the classic images of the Oscars - with some legacy, but also something that has been called for, but has always been overlooked.

Michael. Kane was too old, and he looked at the screen with a smile, not showing a hint of nervousness or mind. It's like a hero who ignores the results, just rushes to the battlefield, and doesn't care about success or failure.

Michael, Lewis, Daniel, the three of them are in a row, and they look like representatives of three generations of Hollywood male stars.

Nicholas. Cage and Jack. Nicholson was in the lower row, and Cage was at ease, seemingly knowing that his second actor wouldn't come so easily. In contrast, Nicholson is more casual, he already has two Oscars and an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in hand.

"The Oscars belong to ......"

……

Catherine. Alba stayed in front of the TV, even though her mom gave her a lot of colors because Jessica was a guest at home. But this time Catherine obviously didn't plan to listen, Daniel may become an Oscar winner, such an exciting moment, how can you not watch it, if it weren't for Jessica not being invited, Catherine would have planned to let her take herself into the scene.

Scarlett. After Johnson finished filming "Lost in Translation", he was in Los Angeles, and when Melanie turned on the TV and tuned to ABC, she slowly moved over.

Amanda. Seyfried was much more lively than Scarlett, she called friends and called a number of post-90s actors to cheer for Daniel at home.

In Harry. When Berry was about to open the envelope, Amanda folded her hands.

"God forbid, God forbid."

Then there was a scream that resounded throughout the building.

……

"Oscar belongs toβ€”"

Harry. Berry's mouth formed an O-shape, and he immediately smiled widely, "Don't forget your promise, Daniel. Sandler, "The Pianist"! ”

A second of silence.

A minute of applause.

Lewis, Michael, Nicholas, and Nicholson, as if agreed, stood up and walked over to Daniel and gave them their hugs.

It's so moving, it's so moving.

Holding Michael. Kane returned to his seat, and Daniel turned and walked onto the stage.

The applause gradually stopped.

Everyone was watching him.

They marveled at his achievements and marveled at his youth.

Yes, he is now the youngest actor in the history of the 75th Oscars, and the record of the youngest supporting actor is also in his hands - this may be the definition of legend.

"Thank you for your kindness, gentlemen whom I have great respect and admiration." Daniel gave the little golden man a change of hand, "It's a little heavy. I know what I should say today except thank you Roman. Polanski, thank you to my team, Kusa, Melissa, Andy, Tricker, etc., I should also have an obligation to convey to the audience in front of the television set the common sentiment of many people - Mr. President, please tie the hands of the demons of war to protect the homes of innocent people, every life has the right and dignity to live in peace, free from the danger of artillery fire and stray bullets, and free from the threat of home destruction. In this war, there will be no winner. ”

With the warmest applause to date, everyone sent the Hollywood anti-war banner off the stage.

Daniel's words have undoubtedly become one of the most memorable moments of the Oscars. (To be continued.) )
