Chapter 619: Kissing
Charlize Theron's "Never Give In", Nicole Kidman's "Walking with the Song", Judi Dench's "Mrs. Henderson's Gift", as well as Keira Knightley's "Pride and Prejudice" and Felisciti Hoffman's "Crossing America" are nominees for Best Actress at the 78th Academy Awards.
Whether it is Lee Chung-hee or film critics, they all think that the latter two are here to make soy sauce.
In fact, Felisci's performance is good, but the theme of "Crossing America" is not powerful, and the theme of "Pride and Prejudice" is super powerful, and Keira Knightley has pushed off several commercial blockbusters because of this, including "King Kong".
However, her acting skills obviously can't control this excellent work, so she can only barely get the nomination.
The remaining three, the outside world's opinion is not quite the same as Lee Chung-hee's.
The outside world believes that this is Judi Dench's closest chance to an Oscar for Best Actress, followed by Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman, but Lee Chung-hee feels that even Charlize Theron has a greater chance than Judi Dench.
Quite simply, Judi Dench's biggest winning factor comes from her age and what she's always done, and she's the most pleasing of her grandmother and the most liked by the old-fashioned judges.
However, in terms of roles, Mrs. Henderson is not really brilliant, this is a tandem character, not the so-called real protagonist, and her performance is not really outstanding.
In Lee Chung-hee's view, Judi Dench's performance has always been decent, she has already set the formula, and it is rare to have an outburst. The same goes for the gift of Mrs. Henderson.
And whether it's Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman. all once again showed excellent acting skills. At the same time, their roles in the play are also more brilliant.
The best actress in a movie is not only about the simple acting skills, but also about the positioning in the play and the things that bloom out make the movie even better.
There is no doubt that the gift of "Mrs. Henderson" is outstanding in the plot, which has little to do with the characters. However, "Walking with Songs" and "Never Give In" can better reflect personal acting skills, let the explosion of acting skills, and render the development of characters and plots, which is the most important role played.
So, why are there only a few nominations for Best Actress in so many films a year, is it really because only those few people have so good acting skills?
Not really, but in terms of film quality, performance bonuses, etc. These people are the most suitable, it's as simple as that.
Lee Chung-hee is a member of the Oscar jury. is also a member of the Screen Actors Guild and the Directors Guild, of course, he knows how this works, and therefore, he knows more about the choices and preferences of the Oscar judges.
The heroine played by Charlize Theron is the most important character in the whole plot, and Nicole Kidman is the absolute heroine who makes the male protagonist Cash in the biography really grow and enrich. It's not like Judi Dench in Mrs. Henderson, it's more of a tandem.
In short, he is not very optimistic about Judi Dench, he is optimistic about Nicole Kidman, followed by Charlize Theron.
Of course, the most important thing is to look at the list in his hand, he quickly tore it open, and then calmly pulled it out.
In the audience, whether it was Judi Dench, Charlize Theron, Nicole Kidman and others began to get nervous, and almost looked at Lee Chung-hee in unison.
Charlize Theron has hope, but not too extravagant, because Lee Chung-hee said before that her breakthrough is not particularly big, not that her acting skills are not good, but that she has broken through too hard before.
In addition, her "Never Give In" feels similar to the previous "American Beauty", and there are some similarities, so it is not pleasing, just look at the nominations for Best Picture.
Another point, she has just won the Oscar for Best Actress, which is another shackle for her age, she is still a woman.
Nicole Kidman is actually not too extravagant, because Lee Chung-hee said it, and he doesn't know it very well, and the outside world has been saying that Judi Dench is better, although she doesn't agree with it in her heart.
For this film, she was tortured, not only learning to talk about the harp, but also learning to sing live, which were her weaknesses, and she spent months for these.
It's very hard and torturous, but just like Lee Chung-hee said, whether it is "All the Moment" or "Cold Mountain", she has not experienced physical cultivation, she has only been tempered in her mind, and if she wants to succeed, the physical and spiritual cultivation needs to be carried out at the same time to be more perfect.
After it was over, she really felt that it felt great, there was a feeling of a new life, or that the road ahead was wider, life was more colorful, and she could even feel Lee Chung-hee's love for life.
Therefore, she feels that this film is quite worthwhile, although it is not extravagant, but if it wins the award, it should be the most precious gift.
In a trance, her blurred eyes seemed to suddenly see the smile on the corner of Lee Chung-hee's mouth, she didn't know what it meant, but soon, she heard her name, "Congratulations, "Walk with the Song", Nicole Kidman won the Best Actress at the 78th Academy Awards!" ”
Her head exploded with a bang, there was a brief blank space, and then a thought came back to her mind, followed by surprise and excitement.
patted his chest lightly to calm down, then hugged his friends around him, accepted blessings, and finally quickly ran to the stage.
I was very excited and thanked him, so I hugged him very boldly and gave him a fragrant kiss, a very enthusiastic one, and even the little fragrant tongue spit out.
Boom, the bottom exploded, lively, and then, in front of the TV, on the Internet, people all over the world were a sensation.
Lee Chung-hee can imagine how many women in the house are waiting to go back and clean her up, and finally separated from Nicole Kidman, who has calmed down, a little embarrassed, shrugged, "Uh, thank you, this is great, it seems that next time I can still present this award for Best Actress!" ”
Very cleverly resolved the embarrassment just now, and then, the audience remembered to laugh again.
Nicole Kidman also knew that she was too excited just now, and a wet kiss was nothing for the relationship between the two of them, but it was obviously too much in front of her.
Fortunately, he skillfully resolved it, glanced at him gratefully, and thought that tonight, she must thank this guy well, so she turned her head and walked to the microphone.
"Uh, thank you, I heard that in addition to me, there are many people who want to kiss this guy, even men, it seems that I am quite lucky!"
She also picked up the topic just now, and then turned her head and said: "Thank you to the organizing committee, thank you to the judges, I am really happy to win this award, which is the most precious thing for me."
Thank you Mr. and Mrs. Cash for finally acknowledging my efforts, to be honest, it was really hard at the time, and I am a person who likes to enjoy life, so it was a little hard to accept.
It was Vincent who let me know what it means to experience and enjoy life better, which made me understand the definition of this role, and only then did I have my subsequent performances and the affirmation of all parties.
So, the kiss just now is a thank you, thank him for making me grow again, and more importantly, I know more about life ......! ”
Best Actress As Lee Chung-hee thought, after Nicole Kidman's acceptance speech, the two went backstage together, but they didn't have time to say hello, Nicole Kidman needed to be interviewed.
And Lee Chung-hee needs to sit under the podium immediately, because the next award for Best Actor will be forthcoming.
The competition for Best Actor at this year's Oscar is as fierce as in previous years, in addition to Lee Chung-hee's nomination for "Inception", there are also Jacquin Phoenix in "Walking with Songs", David Strathern in "Good Night, Good Luck", Terence Howard in "The Crowd", and Forrester Whitaker in "The Last Dictatorship".
Among them, Jacquin Phoenix and Forrester Whitaker are Lee Chung-hee's biggest rivals, which is consistent with the statements of outside film critics.
Just like Nicole Kidman won Best Actress for "Walking with the Song", Jacques Phoenix is good enough, and it can even be said that the two of them prop up this biopic, and there are few other aspects.
This is also the biggest reason why "Walking with Song" can't win any other awards, not even the nomination for Best Picture.
The same is true of "The Last Dictatorship", the story structure is good, but the cinematography, editing, and others are too thin, but this can't hide the excellent performance of Forrester Whitaker.
It can even be said that this is his best performance since filming, so although he lost to Lee Chung-hee at the Golden Globes, he won both the Screen Actors Guild Award and the Los Angeles Film Critics Award.
And as we all know, the Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor is heavier than the Golden Globe Awards, because the Screen Actors Guild Awards' Best Actor has almost half the chance of becoming the Oscar for Best Actor than the Golden Globes.
The award was presented to Charlize Theron and Tom Cruise and Nicolas Cage, who said to Charlize as soon as he took the stage: "Do you really want to kill a guy right now!" ”
"Well, let's go home and see again, if he looks good, I'll consider sparing him!" Charlize Theron looked at Lee Chung-hee in the audience with a smile.
"Home?" Nicolas Cage exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's exciting news!" ”
"Don't you know?" Charlize Theron deliberately said: "I have had several scandals with him, and a few days ago someone photographed us having dinner together, and then said that we went home together that night!" ”
The audience laughed, the atmosphere was very good, and Lee Chung-hee also began to relax, after all, he had already won the Oscar for Best Actor, one more, just for the greed that swept today.
That was a thought that came after the third or fourth award, and he didn't think much about it before he came, so it's time to put it aside. (To be continued......)
