Chapter 387: After the exclamation
"Oh, you're here, you're all really here, I'm not dreaming, good evening, ladies and gentlemen, what an exciting night, we've had a hard time in the last three months, and this place has been tormented by the writers' strike, but I'm happy to announce that the writers' strike is now over, so, tonight, yes, it's tonight, welcome to the lingering night of reunion."
The Kodak Theatre was filled with the laughter of the stars, and the host of this year's awards ceremony was Jon Brown, who was once again in this position. Stewart, he previously hosted the 78th Academy Awards, but he was not very lucky at the time, and his first appearance to host the Oscars encountered an unpopular super cold year, and what was worse was that the five films nominated for Best Picture at that time, "Brokeback Mountain", "Crash", "Munich", "Good Night Good Luck", and "Capote" did not have a North American box office of more than 100 million, which also made the ratings of the awards ceremony hit a new low in recent years.
This hosting achievement is very beneficial to Jon Brown, who has become a household name in the United States as a current affairs commentator and satirical expert with "The Daily Show". Naturally, Stewart was not so good, especially after last year's industry friend Alan Stewart. After DeGeneres hosted, the ratings immediately rebounded, and the results were even worse.
And before this year's awards ceremony, it was widely believed that Jon. Whether Stewart can use his unique humorous style to make a comeback will be a big attraction at the awards ceremony.
Sure enough, the awards ceremony had just begun, and Jon. Stewart couldn't wait to use his unique humorous language to make fun of the writers' strike. Later, in his ridicule of the stars and shortlisted films on the scene. The theater erupted in laughter from time to time. The ambiance was quite pleasant.
This situation lasted for ten minutes, and finally it was time to present the first award, and the order of the Oscars was adjusted again this year, and this year the award for best costume design was presented first. Affleck's wife, Jennifer. Ghana, although not well-known in the world, is a well-known television actress in the United States, starring in the ABC production of the high-tech suspense series "Double Spy". and won the Best Actress Award in the TV Series category at the 59th Golden Globe Awards for this play.
The Best Costume Design Award has always leaned towards historical themes, and the five films nominated this time, "Through the Skies", "Atonement", "Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age", "La Vie en Rose" and "Sweeney Todd", undoubtedly confirm this again.
Among these five films, "Atonement" is the favorite to win this year's Oscars, and is considered to be on a par with "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood is Coming", and is the most likely to win the best picture, but it is not it that won the best costume design award. Blanchett starred in "Elizabeth 2: The Golden Age", also a British film.
"Lin. It's a pity that "Hurricane Rescue" didn't make it to this award this time, if you can win Best Costume Design three times in a row. That's going to be a lot of fun. "Anne. Hathaway chuckled softly, and she and Lin Yuquan were sitting on the right side of the second row.
"I don't think so, I hope I can be a serious director." Lin Yuquan smiled, in fact, even if "Hurricane Rescue" was shortlisted for the award, he was not the one who won the award, because he did not participate in the costume design of "Hurricane Rescue" at all.
"Heh, this is indeed true, and I also hope that you can get the award of doing business as soon as possible." Annie. Hathaway's smile grew brighter.
After the costume designer's speech, the ceremony continued with the award for Best Animated Feature (Ratatouille) and Best Makeup (La Vie en Rose). Clooney reminisces about Oscar's eighty-year history and Amy. Adams sang the theme song "Happy Working Song" from "Magic", and the ceremony also entered the fourth award of the evening - Best Visual Effects.
Although the Best Visual Effects Award is a technical award, the award is not heavy, and before that, "Painted Skin" also won this award at the 79th Oscars last year, but who has too many such awards? Lin Yuquan, who was originally careless, instantly became focused.
The award for this award is presented by the rocks. Johnson, along with Jon. Stewart's introductory words and applause from the audience, the burly Rock Johnson strode onto the stage.
"It's an honor to present the Best Visual Effects Award here, good visual effects make the film have a more exciting viewing effect, making the scenes give people a realistic feeling, just like the fight between me and Lin in "Hurricane Rescue", everyone knows that I was beaten very badly in it, but in fact, strong as me, how can I really be beaten by Lin like a dead dog, in fact, it's just a little blue nose and swollen face, and fatigue." Dwayne "Rock Johnson" said seriously,
"Haha." Suddenly, the Kodak Theater resounded with laughter one after another.
"This guy." Lin Yuquan shook his head, a smile in his eyes.
Listening to the violent laughter off the field, the corners of Rock Johnson's mouth turned up slightly, and the part of the line about "Hurricane Rescue" was replaced by him after consulting with the screenwriter, and now it seems that the scene effect is really good.
"That's the big difference that VFX makes, and the films that we've been nominated for today are undoubtedly the best at that, they are."
As Dwayne Johnson's words fell, the four nominated films appeared on the big screen behind him, "The Golden Compass", "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", "Transformers", and "Hurricane Rescue".
At the same time, speculation is being made around the world about this upcoming award, such as in the chat live broadcast of Xinglang Entertainment, the host Gu Yu and the two specially invited commentators Qing Song and Zhang Yibai are expressing their opinions on it.
"The special effects of these movies are very remarkable, I am personally the most optimistic about "Hurricane Rescue", Lin Yuquan's movie is really good in terms of special effects." Pine.
"Of course, we all hope that Lin Yuquan's film can win awards, but it is not easy for "Hurricane Rescue" to win awards, "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" and "Transformers" are both strong opponents, and it is not surprising that anyone wins the award." Zhang Yibai.
"That's right, in short, as long as it's not "The Golden Compass", "The Golden Compass" won the award, it's too strange, since entering the 21st century, there has not been a film with a North American box office of less than 100 million to win this award." Pine.
"But as soon as you say that, I suddenly think that "The Golden Compass" may be able to win an award, you must know that the Oscars bring people the so-called surprise every year, in fact, it is an upset, and it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no unexpected situations." Zhang Yibai.
"It's really like this, "Hurricane Rescue", "Transformers", and "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World" are all super-grossing films that broke $300 million at the North American box office and $700 million at the global box office, but only "The Golden Compass" grossed $70 million at the North American box office, and only $200 million worldwide, with heavy losses. Pine.
"Oh, the awards are being announced, so let's wait and see." Guyu.
"Could it be the film I want to win an award? Oh, suddenly so nervous. Rock Johnson glanced in the direction where Lin Yuquan was, said with a smile, and then opened the envelope, and then let out an irrepressible exclamation.
It seems that the winner should not be "Hurricane Rescue", otherwise Dwayne "Rock" Johnson would not have such an expression, but should be very excited, almost everyone thought so.
Lin Yuquan shook his head, obviously thinking so, but he was not disappointed with such a result, in fact, since he knew that his film was nominated for best visual effects, he didn't have much hope of winning the award, not because he didn't have confidence in the visual effects of "Hurricane Rescue", but because "Hurricane Rescue" is an urban crime action movie, the number of special effects in it is far less than the other three films, and in the competition, it is invisibly lagging behind.
"Oh my God, Dwayne Johnson is so surprised, shouldn't it really be the Golden Compass award! If yes, it's definitely a super upset. In the live chat room of Xinglang Entertainment, Qingsong couldn't hide his excitement.
Under the gaze of everyone in the audience, and under the gaze of countless people around the world, Dwayne "Rock" Johnson said with a solemn expression: "The award is "Hurricane Rescue". ”
Wow, in an instant, countless people around the world fell into a stupor, completely unexpectedly, after Dwayne Johnson's expression, the award was not "Golden Compass", not "Transformers", not "Pirates of the Caribbean 3: The End of the World", but "Hurricane Rescue", which they judged impossible.
"This guy." Lin Yuquan couldn't help but look at Rock Johnson who was grinning at him on the stage, looking triumphant, at this time he didn't know that it was actually Rock Johnson who deliberately expressed himself just now.
"Wow, Brother Yuquan's movie has won an award, it's amazing." Compared with the surprise of many people, in a certain position on the second floor of the Kodak Theater, Liu Yifei shouted excitedly without reservation.
At the same time, Liu Shishi smiled like a flower, his eyes were full of pride, for Chinese, it is not easy to win an Oscar once, and the man he loves has won three consecutive Oscars, looking at all Chinese directors, who else can do it. (To be continued......)
