Chapter 388: It's a Night When Action Movies Shine

"The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award is." Matthew. McConaughey's voice rang out inside the huge Kodak Theater.

After successively awarding Best Art Direction ("Sweeney Todd"), Best Supporting Actor (Javier. Baden), Best Live Action Short Film (Mozart the Pickpocket), Best Animated Short Film (Peter and the Wolf), Best Supporting Actress (Tilda. Swinton) and other five awards, the ceremony came to the tenth award, Best Adapted Screenplay.

The recipient of this nomination is Paul. Thomas. Anderson, "Blood is Coming", Christopher. Hampton? "Atonement", Ronald. Harwood's "Diving Bells and Butterflies", the Coen Brothers' "No Country for Old Men", Sarah. Polly "Willows and Flowers", this is the first direct confrontation between the three popular films of this year's Oscars, "No Country for Old Men", "Atonement", and "Blood is Coming" tonight.

Not only that, but this confrontation has even affected the attribution of tonight's best picture to a large extent, so far, among the three major films, "Blood is Coming" and "Atonement" have not won any awards, only "No Country for Old Men" won the Best Supporting Actor, once "No Country for Old Men" won the award, then "No Country for Old Men" will be firmly ahead of the latter two by an advantage of 2::0.

And the greater significance is that, generally speaking, the Oscar for Best Picture will win at least three awards, and in the 79-year history of the Oscars, only the 25th Oscars in 1953 "The King of Drama" only won the Best Picture and Best Screenplay Oscars, which is the Oscar Best Film with the fewest awards in history. If there are no accidents, "No Country for Old Men", "Atonement", and "Blood is Coming" want to win the best picture, aside from the best picture. Winner of at least two other awards.

No doubt. Once "No Country for Old Men" won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Then it will invisibly have the upper hand in the competition for best picture, and "Atonement" and "Blood Coming", which have not received 10 awards in the past, will be extremely grim.

"Brother Coen, 'No Country for Old Men'." With Matthew. McConaughey's words fell, and the Coen brothers hugged each other with joy, while at the same time, the faces of the main creative teams of "Atonement" and "Blood is Coming" were not very good-looking.

"It seems that "No Country for Old Men" has a great chance of winning Best Picture, which has already won two awards." Annie. Hathaway smiled.

"yes. "Atonement" and "Blood is Coming" are not going well. Lin Yuquan nodded, after winning the two heavyweight awards of Best Supporting Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay, not to mention the advantage of "No Country for Old Men" in the competition for Best Picture, even if "No Country for Old Men" failed to compete for Best Picture later, it was successful with these two awards in hand.

In contrast, if "Atonement" and "Blood is Coming" want to win Best Picture, they must win at least two of the few remaining awards, otherwise they will become the big losers of this Oscar, let alone Best Picture.

"Hmm." Annie. Hathaway nodded when she heard this, and then asked curiously, "Lin." Which film do you think will win Best Picture? ”

"Judging by the current situation, in terms of probability. "No Country for Old Men" has the highest chance of winning the award, but the real best picture in my heart is because I have only watched "Juno" of the five films nominated for the nomination, so I will not comment. Lin Yuquan shook his head and said, in Annie. In front of Hathaway, it is inconvenient for him to say that the real best picture in his heart is not necessarily the Oscar Best Picture, the Oscar Best Picture is only a film selected within the Oscar selection rules, and the best films in this world are not only a film included in the Oscar, and there are more good films that have not been widely disseminated and recognized for various reasons.

"Oh."

As an almost invincible golden sign in the United States and even the world's independent film industry, and one of the objects that all actors expect to work with, the Coen brothers' award was warmly applauded by many star guests in the Kodak Theater.

And after the two gave their acceptance speeches, the award ceremony continued, after two episodes in the middle, led by Orlando. Bloom and Miley. Sellers and Appearances award Best Sound Clip and Best Sound Effects.

The finalists for Best Sound Editing are "Spy 3", "No Country for Old Men", "Ratatouille", "Coming Blood" and "Transformers", and "No Country for Old Men" and "Coming Blood" will once again compete for this award, but they are not the favorites. In comparison, "Spy 3", "Ratatouille", and "Transformers" are all commercial blockbuster movies with a box office of more than 200 million in North America, and in the competition for technical awards, commercial blockbusters have always been more dominant, among them, there is no doubt that "Transformers" is the biggest favorite.

Sure enough, "the winner is "Spy 3", Miley. Cyrus' voice rang out inside the Kodak Theater.

Although he knew that the possibility of winning the award was not high, at this moment, the director of "Blood is Coming" Paul. Thomas. Anderson's face is still ugly, and for "Blood Is Coming," every award it has been nominated for is extremely important, and after missing out on another nomination, "Blood Is Coming" has become more difficult to compete for best picture.

"Oh, another Oscar for an action movie, that's good." Lin Yuquan had a smile on his face.

It can be seen that in the case of "Transformers", the sound engineer of "Spy Shadow" did not have much hope of winning the award, even if he took the stage with the little golden man, he still couldn't believe that he won the award, and after a while, he excitedly made a long list of thanks.

Without any delay, Orlando. Bloom and Miley. Sellers continued to award Best Sound Effects, and the nominees were essentially the same as Best Sound Editing, except that "Duel in Yuma Town" took the place of "Blood is Coming."

"The winner was "Spy 3"." Orlando. Bloom's voice rang out.

"Wow." There was a round of applause and cheers in the Kodak Theater, and although it was only a technical award, it won two awards in a row, and there is no doubt that "Spy 3" has won a big night tonight. And what is more amazing is that "Spy 3" was shortlisted for a total of 3 nominations, except for the best editing that has not yet been awarded, there are no misses.

Lin Yuquan smiled and applauded. He is naturally happy to see a commercial film with a good reputation and box office. Especially if it's an action movie. Won something at the Oscars.

While he was happy for "Spy 3", he also had a smile in his eyes for "Transformers", "Transformers", which belongs to the category of sci-fi action movies, is the same as his "Hurricane Rescue" and "Spy 3", which are word-of-mouth and box office successes. At this year's Oscars, "Transformers" won a total of three nominations: Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, and Best Visual Effects. In the end, he was defeated in the hands of his "Hurricane Rescue" and "Spy 3", ending this Oscar journey without any results.

Although the special effects team of "Transformers", it is the same as his "Hurricane Rescue". It's all industrial light and magic, but when it comes to movies, they have two meanings. "Transformers", which did not win the best visual effects, was undoubtedly a big loser after losing two other nominations in quick succession.

The awards continued, followed by the award of Best Actress. Christie ("Willows"), Marion. Cotillard (La Vie en Rose), Elaine. Page ("Juno"), one is a charming senior actress, one is a French star on the other side of the ocean, and the other is a promising acting genius. are considered by the media to be the favorites to win awards. It is worth mentioning that once Allen. Peggy is the queen of the film. "Juno", which has been shortlisted for Best Picture, may even hit Best Picture after it.

In the end, the queen's crown was a little unexpected, but it was reasonably worn on Marion. Cotillard heads and with Marion. Cotillard won the award, and "Juno's hopes for Best Picture" were almost dashed, "Juno" won a total of four awards at this Oscars: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, and Best Original Screenplay.

After the award of the Best Actor, the time came to the awards ceremony for another significant award - Best Editing, which is important not only because the Best Editing Awards in the past two years can be called the overture to the reversal of the endings of "Crash" and "Infernal Affairs", which is a bit of the editor's Best Picture, but also because at this award, the two popular movies "No Country for Old Men" and "Blood is Coming" will once again start a fierce battle.

In addition to each other's opponents, the two also have three films, "Spy 3", "Wilderness Survival", and "Diving Bell and Butterfly".

"The winner was "Spy 3"." When Renee. When Zellweger's voice sounded, the huge Kodak Theater applauded, and everyone applauded "Spy 3", which was nominated for three nominations and did not miss a single one, which was not easy.

And this result not only announced that "the editor gets the best picture", but also made the situation of "Blood is Coming" worse and worse, and "Atonement" is connected to the same fate, both of which have no results, and there are not many awards left, and the competition for each award is so fierce.

"It's a real victory for action movies." Lin Yuquan smiled and applauded, counting his "Hurricane Rescue", the action movie has won 4 awards at this Oscar, although they are all awards of low weight, but it is still a gratifying night, and the number of awards is extremely rare in previous Oscars.

If his "Hurricane Rescue" can win the best song later, it will achieve a great result of winning all the awards for action movies, Lin Yuquan couldn't help but think, but then shook his head, "Unstoppable" is not easy to break through, you must know that among the finalists for this year's best song, "Magic" alone occupies as many as 3 songs, in addition to the theme song of "Once" "FallingSlowly".

Next, after a succession of Lifetime Achievement Awards were presented (Robert. Boyle), Best Foreign Language Film ("The Counterfeiter" Austria), and starred by Christina. After Aguilera appeared and sang "Unstoppable", the award also came to Lin Yuquan's special attention award - Best Song.

Although he knew that it was difficult to win the award, Lin Yuquan did not lose confidence in competing for the award of best song. Powell's "Unstoppable" is good enough.

And last year, his "Painted Skin" theme song "Painted Heart" was shortlisted for this award, but unfortunately he was defeated in the hands of "Inconvenient Truth" theme song "INeedtoWakeUp", which made him more eager for this award.

The person in charge of presenting the award for the best song was John. Travolta and Natalie. Portman, when the two took to the stage, speculation about the best songs was going on around the world.

In the chat live broadcast room of Xinglang Entertainment.

"Who do you think will win this award?" Guyu.

"If you look at the probability, it is natural that one of the songs in "Magic" is more likely to win the award, but in fact, it is definitely not possible to guess according to this logic, except for "HappyWorkingSong", "SoClose", "ThatsHowYouKnow" shortlisted for "Magic", whether it is Glenn in "Once". Hansard and Marchita. Aiglova's love work "FallingSlowly", or "Hurricane Rescue" starring Christina. Aguilera's "Unstoppable" is not to be underestimated, and I personally prefer "Unstoppable", if "Unstoppable" can win the award, then Lin Yuquan will become the first director to direct a film to win the Oscar for Best Song. "Aoyama.

"Oh, in fact, it's not a good thing to be shortlisted too much, this year's situation is a bit similar to last year, last year's "Dream Girl" also occupied 3 of the 5 shortlisted songs, and the other was the theme song of "Painting Heart" and "The Inconvenient Truth", and finally the theme song of "The Inconvenient Truth" won the victory. Too many finalists will scatter the votes of the academy members on some kind of process, so that the number of votes for a single song may not be as high as "FallingSlowly" or "unstoppable", in my opinion, either "FallingSlowly" will win or "unstoppable" will win, of course, I also support "unstoppable" to win. "Zhang Yibai.

A location on the second floor of the Kodak Theatre.

"The winner must be "Hurricane Rescue"! It must be! Liu Yifei's watery eyes stared at John on the stage without blinking. Travolta and Natalie. Portman, with a look of anticipation on his face.

"It will definitely be a Yuquan movie, and he will definitely get this award." Liu Shishi bit his lip, and his eyes flashed with determination.

Under the gaze of countless people, Natalie. Portman smiled and said, "The winner was John. Powell, "Hurricane Rescue" theme song "Unstoppable". ”

"Yay!" Lin Yuquan clenched his fists excitedly, his face was full of excitement, although this was a modest award, but this was the first time his film had won this award, and last year's defeat also made him cherish this award.

"Congratulations Lin!" "Congratulations!" "Lin, congratulations on your film award!"

Anne in the vicinity of Lin Yuquan. Hathaway and the others smiled and sent their blessings.

Lin Yuquan responded politely, looking at John who walked on the stage. Powell, with indescribable satisfaction and pride, a total of 5 awards, is extremely remarkable to achieve all the awards for action movies in this year's Oscars, this is really a wonderful night for action movies to shine.
