Chapter 664: An Unexpected Award Presenter

"The winner of Best Supporting Actress was...... Kate? Blanchett, The Aviator! ”

In a round of applause, Kate in a goose yellow one-shoulder evening dress? Blanchett walked onto the stage, took the statuette, stood at the front of the arc stage, and spoke into the microphone to give her acceptance speech.

"Thank you Academy, thank you Director Martin? Scorsese, thank you to my boyfriend, thank you to my agent Pat, thank you to Ryan and Nicole, who helped me get to the Hollywood stage, and Leon, you're a great partner. Honored to star in Catherine? Hepburn, thank you Hepburn, her spirit has been inspiring me while I was shooting. ”

"The Aviator", a film that reflects the legendary Howard? Hughes's biopic is undoubtedly by far the biggest winner, in Kate? Before Blanchett won Best Supporting Actress, she had easily won the four statuettes of Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Art Direction and Best Costume Design.

As for "Argo", so far there has been no harvest, and it is completely a role to accompany the runner.

Fortunately, Disney's films still have gains, "Superman's Family" won the best original song, best sound editing and best animated feature, and "Spider-Man 2" won the best visual effects.

"Kate also won the Oscar." Taylor stood up with Ryan and clapped and said, "Where's your next Oscar?" ”

"Beloved, patience is a virtue."

Sitting back in his chair, Ryan shrugged his shoulders and whispered, "Maybe tonight." ”

"Best Picture is not an individual award." Taylor wrinkled his nose at him, "As per my speculation. "Argo" will probably only win Best Picture. ”

Taylor's speculation is not unreasonable, and Disney's PR direction is also the best picture.

"It's Drew."

After Best Original Screenplay, Drew? Barrymore walked onto the stage, Taylor pinching his pointed chin, "Are you going to get this award?" ”

"Who knows."

While they were talking, Drew on the stage had already finished introducing the list of nominees with the picture on the big screen, and opened the envelope in his hand, "The winner of the best adapted screenplay is Alexander?" Payne and Jim? Taylor, "A Cup of Life"! ”

The result was not as Ryan expected, from "Titanic". The screenplay award is basically insulated from him. This may also be the result of the commercialization of his later scripts.

"It's not a good thing to lose it." George? Clooney suddenly comforted, "This is likely to win the best actor even more." ”

"George, do you think I'll get Best Actor?" Ryan looked over there, George? Clooney laughed.

Neither is a figure who has just entered Hollywood. Without full PR. There is little hope for Best Actor and Best Director.

The biggest hit this time is Jamie? Fox. His appearance in "The Soul Singer", although not better than Ryan, has a natural advantage in skin color. Prior to the mainstream media's public opinion, the black figure . The emperor's voice occupies an absolute advantage.

And the start of the awards ceremony set the tone for that call, Morgan? Freeman took away the first golden man of this year's Academy Awards - Best Supporting Actor!

In the face of this situation, the people in the audience can only say that this is the Oscar, and there are too many factors that affect the award.

Most of the time, skin color is an obstacle to winning awards, such as after "Hero", "Ambush on All Sides" again returned empty-handed.

But there are rare occasions when skin color can be a help, such as when North America needs to unite minorities and show the world freedom and equality......

The last time a black person won the Best Actor was in the seventies of the last century, and the one after 911 was completely shattered by Ryan and DreamWorks' joint public relations, which completely shattered the dream of black people to reach the top again. Washington and Harry? Berry, for Russell? Chloe and Charlize? Theron.

Now, there is another black actor who has been nominated for Best Actor for a performance that is at least not worse than the other nominees, and the Academy will definitely give them priority.

Ryan doesn't care, anyway, there are still many opportunities to win awards in the future, but Leonardo? DiCaprio's face is not good-looking.

When Jamie? As Fox waved the golden figure to deliver his acceptance speech, Ryan glanced at Leon not far away, and he seemed very annoyed.

Jamie on stage? Fox gave a very long acceptance speech, which also used a lot of black slang, and many people under the stage listened to it inexplicably, and Ryan had very little contact with the group, and some of the words did not understand the specific meaning at all.

"Need I explain that to you?" Taylor seems to see this.

"You'll understand?" Ryan is weird.

"There's a black guy in my backing vocals." Taylor's gaze was taken back from the stage, "Sometimes she brings up slang words. ”

"Forget it."

Shaking his head, Ryan wasn't interested in any of this at all.

This Oscar is the same as last year, there is almost no suspense, Hillary? Swank, with the female boxer in "Million Dollar Baby", from Sean? Pan took over the Best Actress in the hands of the little golden man and appeared on the throne of the Oscar actress for the second time.

It's a pity that just like her first time as Best Actress, this little golden man probably won't bring her much actual gain.

The awards ceremony came to the end, and in Billy? After Christo rambled, Peter? Jackson stepped onto the stage, and now the big fat New Zealand man has successfully lost weight, looking at least 50 pounds lighter than when he won the best director last year, and his career is also smooth sailing for the time being.

Universal Pictures vs. Peter? In Jackson's "King Kong" contract, he, his screenwriter's wife and another producer's team can get a total of 20 percent of the film's global box office, which is more than $100 million if the box office of the film is extrapolated according to the previous life.

You know, according to Jenkins Pictures and Peter? After Jackson signed a contract with the Lord of the Rings trilogy, he only got paid more than $15 million.

Of course, Ryan will not be as productless as the new line, and even this money will have to be delayed indefinitely, wanting to repay the debt.

In a past life, Peter? In order to ask for $13 million in directorial compensation, Jackson almost went to court with New Line.

While Ryan was thinking, Peter? Jackson cooperated with the big screen and read out the list of nominees for best director, "Martin? Scorsese, "The Aviator", Clint? Eastwood's Million Dollar Baby, George? Clooney, Argo, Alexander? Payne, "A Life with a Glass of Wine", Michael? Lee's "Vera? Drake. ”

Most people's eyes are on the big screen Martin? Scorsese and Clint? Eastwood's body, there is no doubt that the best director will definitely be produced from the two.

Before the awards ceremony, a lot of the media was saying that the Oscars owed Martin? Scorsese is a best director, but in terms of PR, Clint? Eastwood did even better, so the result was no surprise.

"Clint? Eastwood, "Million Dollar Baby". "Peter? Jackson unveiled the final answer, "Congratulations to Clint? Eastwood. ”

The old cowboy smiled very brightly, and the old Martin held on to his glasses, not knowing what he was thinking.

Maybe Martin? What movie should Scorsese use to hit the Oscars next?

This is Ryan's idea, Oscar's favorite biopics have all failed, and returning to the gangster films he does best is the right way.

He bought the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" a long time ago, maybe it would be a good choice to sell it to Martin Sr? You can also earn a spread from it......

Although in his previous life, the "Departed" was criticized by many people, including Ryan, but with the experience of this life, he naturally understands that this is a movie made for American audiences, Martin? Scorsese's first choice is to consider the North American market and the taste of the Oscars, if it is filmed according to the original, there will be no second result except for hitting the street.

Culture, ethnicity, geography, etc., are very real obstacles.

The awards ceremony came to the end, and there was no upset in the front, will there be in the back? "Argo" has not won a little golden man until now, and it seems to be waiting for this moment.

Then, a scene of everyone's surprise appeared, there were no award presenters on the stage, and the person in charge of presenting the award was from the White House - Barbara? Bush tunguò video link to award the best film of the night!

With all the suspense gone, is there any other option than a politically colorful film like Argo?

This is also the premise of the Oscar, and the correctness of politics is also the premise of winning the award, "Fahrenheit 911" caused such a big sensation, but there was not even a single nomination.

"The best picture is 'Argo', congratulations to Ryan? Jenkins and George? Clooney! ”

Ryan and George? Clooney high-fived and celebrated, but he was not very excited, firstly, this was expected, and secondly, this award presenter, like her husband, was really unwelcome.

Just like last year, everyone in the crew was invited to the stage by Ryan, and everyone hugged and celebrated one by one, no matter what, winning the best picture was a victory for the whole crew.

Waiting for George? Ryan stood in front of the microphone after Clooney's acceptance speech, and his words were more like routine.

"I know what you're thinking - Ryan, why are you standing here again? Well, thank you all for your choice, it's a great honor, and I have hundreds of people to thank you for, so I'm not going to thank you all here, I'll thank you one by one when I have time next week. ”

"But I want to give special thanks to the film's director, George? Clooney, we had a tough time together last year and luckily we got through it and proved us right! (To be continued......)
