Chapter 888: The Faces of All Beings on the Oscars (Middle)
The Oscars are known as the fairest film award in the world because they are voted on by thousands of judges, not just a few judges. However, compared to its impact, the four-hour award ceremony was too long and too tiring.
At the beginning, Billy Kristol's 20-minute spoof and singing passage was intended to urge the celebrities who were going around to chat and socialize to sit down, but it did waste too much time. When the well-dressed stars were seated, and Billy Criss, who was gaging on stage, stopped singing, the 72nd Academy Awards ceremony finally kicked off.
After the opening speech of Robert Lem, the chairman of this year's Academy Awards, after a burst of music, the costumed Li Zhi led Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz to the stage to present the Best Costume Design Award. These three angels with hot figures, who set off a wave of fashion in the United States with black clothes and leather pants a few years ago, now let the three of them present the best clothing design award, which also complements each other.
Looking at the radiant Li Zhi on the stage, Li Yingai couldn't help but feel a little gloomy, and Li Meixian next to her comforted people again, so she had to smile bitterly and be speechless. She herself was envious when she saw Li Zhi become a Hollywood superstar overnight, let alone Lee Young-ae?
"The winner of the 72nd Academy Awards for Best Costume Design is: "Singing and Playing" - Miss Lindy Hemming, congratulations to Lindy, congratulations to "Singing and Playing"!"
This is to be expected, "Song and Play" is a nineteenth-century costume film, the story takes place mainly in the opera house, and the large number of gorgeous costumes is enough to show Xiàn Lindy? Hemming's strength. In comparison, films such as "The Last Samurai" and "Anna and the King" are not enough to give the costume designer more room in this regard.
Although the next performance is wonderful in the eyes of the audience, it is actually very boring in the eyes of the stars, in this case, who has the heart to watch the performance? However, there was no surprise in the previous technical awards, "The Matrix" won the best sound, visual effects, and best editing, and the best cinematography went to Lao Du, the chief cinematographer of "The Last Samurai". The picture of "The Last Samurai" is so beautiful, so beautiful that everyone has nothing to say, and Lao Du has become a photographer with three little golden men in his hands, in the words of his former cowhide - he is the world's number one photographer! The best original screenplay was also given to "The Last Samurai", which is really stronger than "American Beauty" in its universal value.
"The winner of the 72nd Academy Award for Best Original Score is: "The Last Samurai" - Mr. Sojiro, congratulations to Mr. Sojiro, congratulations to "The Last Samurai""
……
The emcee on the stage continued to gag to stir up the atmosphere, and the award presenters kept opening the envelope, and the audience applauded continuously. As if he were watching a boring play, Kento Watanabe remained polite with a smile on his face and kept clapping softly.
"The winner of the 72nd Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor is:", the award presenter on the stage, the famous British actor Judi Dench, was stunned for a moment, and then said loudly: "Congratulations to Ken Watanabe, congratulations to "The Last Samurai"!
You are the second Asian actor to win an Oscar in the acting category, after Mr. Haing. S. Ngor! (Wu Han, Cambodian, won the 1985 Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for The/killing/fields)
What (what)? Ken Watanabe, who was about to applaud again, was stunned and looked at Judi Dench on the stage in disbelief. Sun Ziming was also stunned for a moment, his company didn't do public relations for him, he actually beat Tom Cruise and Michael Caine (played in "The Law of Cider House")? That's Magnolia and The Cider House Rule, and Cruise and Kane have great performances, and they're white!
Hearing the applause around him, Sun Ziming came to his senses, and hurriedly woke up Ken Watanabe next to him, and whispered: "Go up and receive the award, hurry up!" ”
"Hi", Ken Watanabe subconsciously said 'Hi', his mind was blank, and he came to the stage to accept the award as if he was drunk. Wait until Judy? When Denki took the little golden figure from Miss Manners and handed it to Ken Watanabe, the cold and heavy feeling made him come back to his senses a little, and then he was ecstatic!
"Thank you......"
Looking at Ken Watanabe on the stage and thanking him a little out of shape, Tom Cruise in the audience had a stiff face, and he couldn't wait to rush to the stage to snatch the little golden man! It doesn't matter if you lose to Michael Kane, you don't care about the who loses to Michael Clark Duncan, the only thing you can't lose is this Japanese!
Everyone in the circle of friends knows that for the sake of this little golden man, he would rather pay out of his own pocket to go to public relations and lobbying, and asked China Ming to help him say good things everywhere, but in the end he let this Japanese win the award, doesn't this mean that his acting skills are a grade worse than him? Doesn't that mean that in "The Last Samurai", I can play against him, is that because of China Ming's help?
also watched Ken Watanabe's speech on stage, but Nicole Kidman couldn't wait to cheer, if this was not a public occasion, she would definitely throw Sun Ziming to the ground and fuck him happily! This is revenge, don't you want to get rid of your idol and become an acting school? Even if China Ming helps you, you are still a vase with inferior acting skills!
Only the fat brother closest to Tom Cruise, whose expression was normal, was normal, firstly, because it was irrelevant, and secondly, because his expression had become his subconscious. However, he also has regrets, Ken Watanabe's award, how much he was stained with the light of the crew and director, and the light that everyone avoids racial discrimination, but unfortunately he was unlucky at the beginning and became cannon fodder for others.
Jill, who accompanied the crew to the ceremony, was the calmest, instinctively thinking that the situation might not be good. "The Last Samurai" has won three awards: Best Cinematography, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, and perhaps the most important award will go to the next family!
……
When Roberto Bernini, an Italian film director and famous comedian who won an Oscar and was nominated for Best Director with a "Beautiful Life" the year before last, and was known as "Italy's Chaplin", took the stage with an envelope containing the list of winners for Best Actress. Almost all directors and stars looked at Tom Cruise, who was not very good-looking, and Nicole Kidman, who was nervous. The grudge between ex-husband Cruise and ex-wife Nicole, even if mediated by their mutual friend China Ming, has not yet dissipated, which is already a legend in Hollywood, where love, breakup, marriage, and divorce are as normal as eating.
If the ex-husband gets nothing, and the ex-wife wins the best actress, then there is a good show in Beverly Hills!
