Chapter 272: Rivals
Kayla for the first time at the Oscars. Knightley is not yet eligible to be interviewed by the red carpet host, but in the interview area that follows, of course, she will be asked about her collaboration with Daniel.
"He's really a very talented actor with amazing acting skills and a very strong comprehension...... Yes, I'm looking forward to the good news from him. ”
As if to avoid being pulled together to hype, Kayla was very restrained and didn't seize the opportunity to say much.
……
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!
……
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!
Throughout the night, until the last two prizes remained, the name was basically heard from the presenters.
So far, "The Return of the King" has been nominated for 10 awards, all of which have been lost, and there is no doubt that if they can maintain a winning record in the final Best Picture, they will become the most awarded film in Oscar history - tied with "Ben Hur" and "Titanic", even if they finally miss out on Best Picture, 10 awards are enough to make it tied with "West Side Story" for the second most Oscar winning film in film history.
In any case, this will be the first legendary film since the new century, coupled with its huge box office of 1 billion worldwide, "The Return of the King" has established an unshakable position in film history.
Charlize. After Theron won the Oscar for "The Devil Girl," she went from collaborator thanks to investors, from the United States to New Zealand, then to her native South Africa, and finally, her mother — and when she finally declared that she would never shed tears, Daniel saw her moist eyes on the TV broadcast.
To be honest, it's a bit contrived, and this year's Oscars can be said to be the long-awaited, in a sense, it means that it is mediocre - that is, everyone is basically sure who the award will go to. Robbins' Best Supporting Actor, Renee. Zweig's performance in "Cold Mountain" is obviously also very convincing, not to mention, it has been shortlisted many times. This time, it is only natural that there will be a gain. Both supporting actor and supporting actress are expected, and so is the new actress, of course, and Hillary. Swank, compared to the two when they won the Oscar. didn't get a recognized acting evaluation, and suddenly contributed an Oscar-level movie - and then got what he wanted, and Julian. Compared with old drama bones like Moore, they took advantage of the word "breakthrough". However, Swank and Theron are also different, and Theron is already a well-known vase in Hollywood. And Swank still does not have Theron's fame, which means that after they get the actress, Theron will step into the ranks of top actresses, while Swank can only become a first-class female star.
The Oscars are incomparably important, but definitely not the only ones that matter.
This beautiful and graceful actress is really not dressed well tonight, and her makeup is a little old-fashioned, Daniel thinks that Theron, who won the Oscar by playing ugly in "The Witch", may now want to strengthen everyone's impression that she is not just a vase.
Compared to Theron's performance. Daniel found himself unusually excited - the calm was incredible, and whether it was what he wanted to do in the next few months, or what was about to happen, meant that he had reason to be agitated and excited. However, he really didn't have anything to excite about, and he remembered Collins. Bolsh would have been able to spare a brief moment, and he called her and told her that the Oscar results were in, and that he would send him a text message if Collins had received his text message. Don't call him tonight, obviously, his phone will be blown up by people from all directions.
The last actress Nicole. Kidman walked onto the stage, dressed in a pale green bandeau and off-the-shoulder dress. Makes her look several years younger than usual. Obviously, not being able to be shortlisted for the Oscar with "Cold Mountain" did not bring her too much sadness - she couldn't get it if she was shortlisted, and even this kind of thing is generally no longer considered.
It's no secret that the Oscars attach importance to "accumulation", and they have been nominated several times. And then you get what you want, it's a fixed pattern - of course it's not a one-size-fits-all approach, Daniel, Swank, Theron, etc., it's all the lucky ones at the first mention, but in general, it's such a trend.
So on Nicole's upcoming approach to Best Actor, Sean. Pan is in a unique position.
This is a controversial Hollywood bigwig, and the contradictions between him and Daniel can't hide his proud talent in acting, this is his fourth Oscar nomination, and the first three times, he refused to attend the Oscars for lack of style, and this time, after everyone thought he might decline the Golden Globe Award, he will reject the Oscar again. But unexpectedly, he announced that he would be attending the ceremony for the first time under the name of "Homage to Mystic River".
This decision somewhat makes one think that Sean. Pan is nine out of ten winners of the award this time, this "bad actor" who looks very good is obviously not a hairy boy, if he is not motivated enough, he will not break the ban to participate in the Oscars.
Four nominations, the first time to attend, a representative of the Hollywood acting school, that item seems to indicate that on the envelope in Nicole's hand, Sean . Pan's name.
On the big screen, Sean. Pan, Ben. Kingsley, Jude. Lowe and Bill. The faces of the four Maury people have their own meanings, and Daniel's position has a portrait, which is of course a little less attention than the vivid nominees around him.
Jude. Luo looked excited—he won't win the prize, which is 90% certain, and a little bit of possibility, it is used to explain the words "the world is impermanent".
Kingsley and Murray, two veteran actors, look a little uneasy, but they can barely hold on, although the probability of winning the award is not very high, but at least the demeanor should be maintained.
The most eye-catching, of course, is Sean. Pan, it's just that he doesn't look too happy, not cold or unconcerned, but really a little gloomy.
Yes, according to the results of the PR return, he knew that his support votes were basically enough to win, which was an important reason why he chose to attend the Oscars, but later, the situation changed, although his PR was not able to hear enough news, but the original guaranteed votes began to float, which made him a little uneasy, but the words had already been spoken, not to mention, he still thought that he would win the award.
As the Oscars approached, Daniel's side began to make efforts to pave the way for the successive actors. Pan's mood was even worse.
For Daniel, he simply didn't know what kind of mood he was in.
Sean Penn is known for being "bad", in prison, violent maniac, and grumpy, to name a few of his labels. Daniel, on the other hand, is always reported for descriptive, polite, role model, and icon.
The negative and positive models are one hundred and eighty degrees apart.
The pros and cons here mean nothing else, and don't refer to any Hollywood hard currency — power, fame, acting, awards, and so on.
In addition to the image, Sean. Both Pan and Daniel were known for being anti-war. The former was even caricatured by the New York Times as "Baghdashien" -- because he went to Baghdad on the eve of the Iraq war and published a newspaper demanding that Bush Jr. change his policy toward Iraq, and he had some friendship with Saddam, and 911 had nothing to do with Saddam. Of course, these remarks made him scolded by netizens.
Daniel is different, he also has an anti-war attitude, but he has no intention of being an enemy of the American people, he has always used the life of the American ** as a rhetoric - this is obviously cunning, but it is also smart. Importantly, his public speeches are now becoming a reality, and his evolution from anti-war to prophet has taken him out of the context of being reviled by the militants. What's more, being appointed as a UNHCR Goodwill Ambassador and receiving great courtesy in Africa have also benefited him a lot on this topic.
Now, when they meet Oscar, Sean. The complicated feelings in Pan's heart need not be said.
Now Daniel is starting to be considered worthy of the award with such fanfare - either because he is very sure or he is calculated.
And he, Sean. Pan should be the biggest target of suspicion.
What made him even more embarrassed tonight was that he didn't show up - and it was also because he falsely claimed that Daniel would be in his 911 short film, which triggered his decision to leave Hollywood for a while.
All this coincidence makes the whole scene so weird.
Some newspapers have actually mentioned these in passing corners in previous reports, and did not hesitate to call them "old enemies", and did not forget to speculate about Sean. Pan's malice, though that doesn't quite warrant. But tabloids don't care about logic and reasonableness, they just want attention and sales.
Conspiracy theories have been prevalent for years, and this time the "conspiracy" is so blunt that if you don't take advantage of it, the tabloids feel sorry for themselves.
Regardless, throughout the awards season, Sean. Although Pan had already taken a lot of money, he always had a pimple in his heart, and he only felt that it affected his breathing.
This made it impossible for him to make his face look soft and joyful on the eve of the announcement of the winners.
The small and fragmented chatter behind him made his mood even worse.
Nicole. Kidman looked away from the screen, turned to the audience, and smiled, "The 76th Academy Award for Best Actor belongs to ......"
Everyone was staring at Nicole's expression, although in a second, she would pronounce the name, unraveling the puzzle of the argument that had been going on for two or three months. But everyone still wants to get the result from her expression in a millisecond early, which is really inexplicable.
Nicole paused, it was clearly not design, not surprised.
Then she seemed to mean the meaning of the name, and thus became slightly excited.
"The award is ...... Daniel. Sandler, Pirates of the Caribbean! ”
Kodak Theatre, blow up! (To be continued.) )
