Chapter 418: Awards
"Now, Ms. Mary Matlin, please present us with the Best Actor Award at this year's Academy Awards!"
Halfway through the ceremony, most of the technical awards have been awarded, and Chen Chong and Zunlong also presented the Best Documentary Short Film Award to "Childlike Heart" as award presenters.
In the first confrontation between "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor", "Rain Man" lost again to "The Last Emperor", and the best editing was won by Cristiani for "The Last Emperor".
And this seems to be just the beginning, opening Pandora's box, and the subsequent best cinematography, best art direction, and best original soundtrack were all won by "The Last Emperor". So far, "The Last Emperor" has never failed, but any award that has been nominated for will eventually be taken away by "The Last Emperor".
The crew members of "The Last Emperor" were all red-faced, and throughout the award ceremony, I saw that people kept standing up there, and the surroundings were full of congratulations. This year's Oscars seem to have become the stage for "The Last Emperor", and other nominated films have become the background of "The Last Emperor".
Zhong Chuhong looked at Chen Ping'an with some concern and gently held his hand.
Chen Ping'an glanced at her, smiled and whispered, "What, worried that I will be disappointed?" β
"No, in my heart, you'll always be the best."
"Any idea what I'm thinking?"
"What do you think?"
"Do you remember the first time I participated in the Hong Kong Film Awards when I first returned to Hong Kong?"
"What was it like to participate in the Academy Awards for the first time?" Zhong Chuhong was puzzled. She had an impression of the Hong Kong Film Awards in 85, but the problem was that she didn't have any impression of Chen Ping'an, and she and Chen Ping'an didn't know each other at that time.
But someone remembers. Lin Qingxia's voice came from behind: "I remember that you guessed every award at that time, but the "Police Story" directed by you did not win the Best Film Award until the end. At that time, you were also facing a strong competitor, "The Year of Water", just like the current "The Last Emperor". β
At that time, Lin Qingxia sat behind Chen Ping'an just like today.
Chen Ping'an turned around, and the two looked at each other and smiled, the kind of smile that was all unspoken made Zhong Chuhong's heart slightly sour.
"Sister Qingxia is also optimistic about "Rain Man"?"
"Don't you have faith in your man?"
Lin Qingxia's voice was very small, but she bit the words "her own man" extremely hard, and Zhong Chuhong could hear it very clearly. The sour taste in his heart dissipated, and Zhong Chuhong smiled: "Sister Qingxia has made fun of me, I have nothing to do with him." β
Lin Qingxia smiled and stopped talking, Zhong Chuhong pinched the back of Chen Ping'an's hand in annoyance like a child whose lies had been exposed: "It's all your fault!" β
"Then I'm going to accompany Sister Qingxia tonight?"
"You dare!"
"Won, at the 60th Academy Awards, Best Actor is, "Rain Man", Dustin Hoffman-"
"Wow!"
The audience applauded thunderously.
Dustin Hoffman is definitely an alternative in Hollywood, in Hollywood, where handsome men and beauties are like clouds, he, a small man who is only 166 centimeters tall, with his excellent acting skills, has successfully become a first-line star, recognized by the American audience, and won the Oscar award for the second time!
The lights and cameras were called to Dustin, and to the applause of the audience, he stood up and hugged the people around him.
"Thank you." When Chen Ping'an hugged him, he said movingly.
After he agreed to take on "Rain Man" and Tom Cruise rejected "Rain Man", some media outlets publicly belittled him in the newspapers, saying that he was reduced to the point of making a movie for an Oriental man.
However, it was this movie that not only brought him the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor, but also made him the emperor for the second time in Oscar history!
The camera follows all the way, as he walks on the stage and kisses Mary Matlin, the result is the Golden Man for Best Actor. Then the camera cuts to give Tom Cruise a close-up. Tom Cruise had a smile on his face, but in the eyes of the audience sitting in front of the TV, the smile was a little bitter.
There are two male protagonists in "Rain Man", in addition to Dustin Hoffman, there is also Brad Pitt. Although the latter was not nominated, his wonderful performance in the film was also recognized by Guangfang.
Many authoritative people believe that if Tom Cruise plays again, he may be able to defeat Dustin and win the first Oscar award in Tom Cruise's life.
Whether Tom Cruise has any regrets in his heart, regretting that he rejected Chen Ping'an's invitation, no one knows, but the camera captured the moment he turned to Chen Ping'an.
Fifty-year-old Dustin Hoffman, for the second time on the stage of the Oscars, lifted the Golden Man for Best Actor, and he was still excited. said a lot of words of thanks, and Chen Ping'an was naturally indispensable among the people who thanked him, and he even told that after he got the script, his love for the script and his worry about Chen Ping'an, a young Chinese director, made him hesitate for a while.
Fortunately, his agent reminded him that he specifically asked to go to Brooklyn, New York, for an interview with Chen Ping'an, so that he did not miss this classic film.
At this point, the cameraman, who was afraid that the world would not be chaotic, switched the camera to Tom Cruise again. The comparison between the two is more topical.
"Alas......" Tom Cruise sighed lightly, and looked at Chen Ping'an in the distance again, he really regretted his hasty decision.
Dustin Hoffman won Best Actor, which did not change the audience's prediction, "The Last Emperor" was not nominated for Best Actor, so it cannot be said that "Rain Man" won the game of "The Last Emperor". On the contrary, it is reminiscent of the Golden Globe Awards not long ago, and several important awards after Best Actor were all taken into the arms of "The Last Emperor", and "Rain Man" was missing.
The award for Best Actor was followed by a technical award, and then Audrey Hepburn took the stage to read and present the Best Original Screenplay Award.
The nominees for Best Original Screenplay include "Moonlight", "Reception News", "Hope and Glory", "Goodbye Childhood" and "Rain Man".
Audrey Hepburn, who is nearly sixty years old, stood on the stage, as glamorous as she was back then. She opened the envelope, and after reading the contents, she exclaimed: "Cake seller, this award may become a turning point in the history of the Oscars." But yes, this movie is well deserved, and I love it so much that I went to the cinema at least three times and has a videotape in my collection...... Am I talking too much? β
There was a good-natured laugh from the audience.
"Well, now I announce that the winner of the 60th Academy Awards, Best Original Screenplay Award, "Rain Man", Chen Ping'an! MR Chan from Mystic East, please! β
Chen Ping'an shook his fist vigorously, and Zhong Chuhong was even more excited than him: "Great, A'an, you have won the award!" β
Lin Qingxia was smiling, Chen Chong was full of joy, and Wu Yusen, Zhou Yanfa, Bao Dexi, Li Xiaolin and others were also full of excitement. Anne Heard and Cameron took the lead in applauding, Chen Ping'an stood up, hugged the people around him one by one, accepted their blessings, and then followed the camera and walked onto the stage.
"Congratulations, young man." Audrey Hepburn hugged him gently, and then handed him the trophy for the best original screenplay, "Your "Rain Man" is very good, I like it very much. β
"Thank you."
Taking the trophy, Chen Ping'an held it high, adjusted Mike, and began his acceptance speech: "I have no intention of being disrespectful to Ms. Hepburn, but there is one thing I need to correct, in fact, the East is not mysterious, if we can calm down and not look at the surrounding with colored glasses, we will find that the world is a better ......"
His testimonials are not many, nor are they unusual. As usual, he thanked a lot of people, and expressed some of his feelings, feeling that as a Chinese-American, he was able to win this award, which fully proves that democracy and freedom in the United States are not just words.
He hopes that in the future, there will be more people of different colors who will appear on the stage of the Oscars, because movies have no borders.
"Little fox!"
Jon Voight shook his head secretly. He knew very well that Chen Ping'an did not believe in democracy and freedom, and these two words were just weapons at the right time for Chen Ping'an. He is also aware of Chen Ping'an's feelings for the Chinese as a Chinese-American, which can be seen from the fact that most of the films he directed have Chinese participation.
Chen Ping'an said this just to lay the groundwork for more Chinese to stand on the stage of the Oscars in the future.
Well, this kid is too naΓ―ve.
Next up was the Best Adapted Screenplay, which was unsurprisingly won by "The Last Emperor".
So far, "Rain Man" has won two awards, breaking the shackles of the Golden Globe Awards, whether this announces that "Rain Man" will become fierce competition with "The Last Emperor", many people are waiting to see.
Next, the Best Director Award will be awarded, with Chen Ping'an and Beneteau Berturucci nominated for "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor" respectively. The other three nominees were, Norman. Jawison "Moonlight Sultry", by John. Baumann's "Hope and Glory" and Adrian. Ryan, "Fatal Temptation".
This is the first meeting between "Rain Man" and "The Last Emperor" in this year's Oscar heavyweight awards, but the protagonists are not only them, every film, every director has a chance.
In addition to the directors of "Hope and Glory" and "Fatal Temptation", "Moonlight" also received seven nominations, and previously won two awards, director Norman Jerwison should not be underestimated.
It can be said that the Best Director Award is a gathering of the top three, not to mention Chen Ping'an, even the Golden Globe Award winner for Best Director Beneteau Berturucci does not dare to say that he is nine out of ten.
Robin Williams, a 37-year-old famous American comedy film director and actor, took to the stage and made the audience laugh with his unique comedy factor and sense of humor. In the midst of this laughter, he opened the envelope and read out the winner of the best director...... R1152
