Chapter 813: Legends are for nostalgia
"Sophia? Roland, "Two Women"; Holly? Hunter, The Piano Lesson; Judy? Foster, "The Robbery of Pear Blossoms" and "The Silence of the Lambs"; Gwyneth? Paltrow, Shakespeare in Love; Hillary? Swank, "Boys Don't Cry" and "Million Dollar Baby". ”
As the introductions sounded, five Oscar-winning actresses appeared on the stage, and they will award tonight's Best Actress.
Life is so wonderful, Ryan once watched this Oscars, when Nicole? Kidman, one of the presenters standing on stage, can only sit next to herself and wait for the final result, because she can't possibly present herself with the award.
In the past ten years, Nicole doesn't know how many big scenes Ryan has experienced, the once extremely exciting Oscar moment, now basically no longer has the feeling of being too nervous and excited, although she is the biggest favorite, she is mentally prepared for an upset, after all, only God knows if there will be an accident.
As she was talking on stage and introducing the list of nominees, her eyes quickly swept around her, taking in the expressions of all the competitors, and then turned her gaze to the big screen.
Annie? Hathaway, a very immature young actor, does not pose any threat at all.
Melissa? Leo, Annie? Hathaway has a better chance of winning than she does.
Angelina? Julie, maybe she has the possibility of winning the award, but she knows very well that the other party is not very welcome.
Meryl? Streep, this is the biggest opponent and the biggest upset possibility, although the other party has no PR, but the same conservative style and aging age, absolutely occupy a natural advantage.
Of course, Nicole, like Ryan, doesn't think that the other party's upset is likely to be much. Twenty percent or only ten percent?
With her hands crossed over her laps, Nicole naturally put on her most graceful and beautiful side, waiting for the final result.
Ryan looked indifferent, all the work was done, and even occupied an absolute advantage, if there is an upset in this case, it means that Oscar is no longer an Oscar.
"Nicole? Kidman, every time you play a new role, you push the boundaries of the impossible even further. ”
I don't know if it's a coincidence, but the person who introduced Nicole was her best friend Judy? Foster. "Your superb performance in 'Weakness', combined with the temperament that has always fascinated us, your characters, show a broad love that we've always felt warm and inspired by as your audience."
"Anne from 'Weakness'? Taussi is portrayed by some of our most talented and infectious actors! ”
"Thank you! Thank you! ”
Even though the camera could only record the footage, Nicole still mouthed and said 'thank you', as if she was really excited at this moment.
Ryan clapped his palms vigorously beside him. The Oscars are also a show, and this is the superlative show in the film industry.
Wait for the others to finish the crosstalk, Judy? Foster opened the envelope and took out the card. "The Oscar winner is ......"
Twisting slightly, Ryan was ready to stand up.
"Nicole? Kidman, "Weakness"! ”
Just in Judy? After Foster pronounced the name, Ryan was the first to stand up. Then he felt himself being hugged by Nico, but he still slapped his palms and hugged Nicole back.
"Thank you!" Nicole whispered in his ear. "Thank you for doing this qiē for me."
The two did not continue to communicate and quickly separated, and they did not need to show affection on such an occasion.
"Thank you, thank you!"
In the congratulations of the people around her, Nicole walked on the stage, went through the veneer ceremony with the five award presenters one by one, and then took over the little golden man representing the best actress.
Of those standing here, including those sitting under the stage, she is the only one who has won an Oscar three times!
"For me, it's a magical moment, an incredible process."
Standing at the front of the stage, Nicole looked very excited, "This ten years have been the best moment of my life, I never thought that I would be able to stand on this stage for the third time, if I said that I had never prepared a testimonial before, it would be a lie." ”
won the Oscar for Best Actress three times in ten years, which can be said to be a record that is difficult to surpass, and everyone under the stage has already stood up and sent warm applause at this time.
"I consider myself lucky along the way. I want to thank the people who have been with me, to all the crew, to my friends, my family, who have always trusted me and supported me, especially my family Anne and Ryan, I love you guys! ”
"And ......," she gestured to the audience, "all the nominees are amazing actors, and I still can't believe that people compare me to Meryl." ”
In a good-natured laugh, Nicole added, "I'm sorry, Meryl, you have to figure it out." ”
Meryl? Streep is nominated, Meryl? Streep loses, and the winner is proud to be nominated at the same time as her, and makes a few good-natured jokes, which are all regular shows in the past.
With Amy? Meryl with Adams sitting together? Streep smiled kindly as before, and she had experienced too many moments like this.
There was another round of applause, and Nicole walked backstage with the other guests.
After entering the backstage and taking a routine group photo, Ni was interviewed by the live broadcaster, ABC TV.
"Miss Kidman, this is your third Best Actress Golden Man, you've been with the legend side by side, have you ever thought about this moment before?"
"I thought about leaving my own legend, but I didn't expect this moment to come so quickly."
Despite the fact that this is her own media, Nicole replied without leaking, "I am very touched, I feel that I am a lucky person, the streets of the City of Angels are full of angels, and I am just the one with the luckiest ones." ”
"Will this have an impact on your career?" The reporter asked again.
"I'm going to do more production work to bring better films to the audience."
Long before, Nicole had discussed the future with Ryan, if she won the award, it is a must to gradually fade out of the actor industry, she has now become a legend, which also means that she has reached the peak of her acting career, and in this process, the audience has paid enough expectations, and these expectations can be said to have been basically consumed with her third award.
The audience's interest in her future role will definitely be greatly reduced, and the academy will not award this award to her for the fourth time, and going behind the scenes will definitely be the most appropriate choice.
In other words, legends are meant to be remembered.
After being interviewed and greeting those who came to congratulate her, Nicole calmly left the backstage and re-entered the theater lobby.
"Am I missing something?" After sitting down, she asked Ryan.
"Congratulations, dear."
took the little golden figure handed over by Nicole, and Ryan handed it to Antonia in the back? Kidman, regardless of Hugh on stage? Jackman, whispered, "Missed out on Best Actor, Sean?" Pan won his second Oscar for Best Actor. ”
This bad boy at the beginning, since he completely returned to the mainstream, has also become a life winner at the Oscars.
The happiest scene of the night happened to him, Michael? Douglas's cross-remarks ridiculed him - he would modestly propose to the White House and gently reason with the paparazzi!
There are some widely circulated jokes in Hollywood, if you meet a paparazzi, the paparazzi immediately becomes a tame puppy, then this person must be Ryan? Jenkins; If you encounter paparazzi harassment, it must be Johnny who picks up a stool and smashes people? Depp; If you just pull out the gun, then it's not Sean? Pan is none of them.
The relationship between this one and the media is so poor that there is hardly a second one among Hollywood A-list movie stars.
The awards ceremony has come to an end, and although "Weakness" still has a heavyweight Best Picture nomination, Ryan has no luxury of winning the award, and the film has no chance of winning either in terms of content or the international format shown at this awards ceremony.
The award of Best Picture was preceded by another historic break at the Oscars, which allowed for the inclusion of film commercials.
In order to prevent viewers from thinking that film companies that buy advertisements will benefit from the selection of the Oscars, so as to maintain the fair image of the Oscars, movie advertisements have been banned since the awards ceremony was televised in the early 50s of the last century.
This year, for the first time, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences allowed film commercials to appear at the Oscars.
Although the official explanation is to add more entertainment content about movies to the festival, in fact everyone understands that this is to find more revenue channels.
Disney's brands such as "Flying House", "Sherlock Holmes" and Cameron's blockbuster "Avatar" all played some of the trailers at this time.
It was just a vignette, and the academy couldn't afford to let the ad dominate and detract from the quality and style of the Oscars, and Spielberg stood on stage after a few minutes of editing.
The following film was nominated for Best Picture, Slumdog Millionaire...... Christian? Coulson, Benjamin? The Curious Case of Barton...... Catherine? Kennedy, Frank? Marshall, "Foster Talks to Nixon...... Bright? Howard, Brian? Glazer, "Weakness...... Nicole? Kidman, Melanie? Sloan, "Milk...... Bruce? Cohen and Dan? Jinx. ”
"The best picture at this year's Oscars is Slumdog Millionaire...... Christian? Colson! ”
Just after Spielberg announced the answer, a bunch of Britons and a few more Ah San, hula la came to the stage, "Slumdog Millionaire" in addition to those small awards, but also won two heavyweight awards in succession, Best Director and Best Picture, definitely the biggest winner tonight.
