Chapter 131: Will It Be an Upset?
With the enthusiastic music, this year's Oscar host Billy? Christo stood on the stage, just saying "I said two years ago, I will be back", combined with the hideous appearance made by deliberately imitating the Terminator, which immediately caused an uproar, worthy of being an excellent comedian who has hosted several Oscars.
Sean was also laughing, but his attention was not on it, and from time to time he turned his neck slightly to look around, looking for someone's figure. As one of the nominees for Best Actor, he naturally sat in the front rows, with Jude and Minghella, while Frederick, Galen, and Sanders sat far behind.
The Oscars are not limited to insiders, in addition to nominated actors, big-name stars, bosses and producers of various film companies, there are also many ordinary people. However, there are no tickets for the award ceremony, and the host film academy generally gives some invitation places to various film companies, agency companies, and public relations companies, and then each company decides who can go.
Frederick leaned on Sean to have one, and then fought for two for the same, originally he wanted to give this consecutive place to Naomi and Jordana, but when asked tentatively, Naomi said that she was not interested in participating in the Oscars for the time being. In this case, Sean was not reluctant, but for the sake of fairness, Jordana was not invited, so two spots were given to Galen and Sanders.
For this reason, he deliberately dragged them to order two suits, which looked decent after wearing them. It's a pity that when they entered, they walked through a different passageway for ordinary guests, rather than the main entrance with a red carpet, so they couldn't show off in front of reporters.
It's a pity that the Holy Auditorium can only accommodate more than 2,000 people, and if there were more, more tickets would be distributed. However, it is said that the Kodak Theater will be completed and put into use next year, and the future Oscars will be held there, which can accommodate at least 3,400 people. Sean still knows about this theater, and even remembers that after Kodak went bankrupt, it was renamed Hollywood Highland Center, and then it was bought by Dolby Company to become the Dolby Theater.
Okay, back to the point, Sean didn't look around to find Frederick and Galen, he was looking for another person. I walked on the red carpet in a hurry before, and after I came in, I kept chatting with Jude and them, and I met Hoffman again - although this guy was not nominated, so he sat in the back, but he starred in "Magnolia" and "The Genius Ripley" are one of the favorites this year, and Sean's opinion of him is undoubtedly slowly being confirmed.
After that, the award ceremony began quickly, and everyone was sitting and waiting, and it was even more impossible to observe, so until now.
Sean quickly found his target, fortunately not far away, in the fifth position of the front row on the left, although he couldn't see the whole body, but the goose-yellow one-shoulder evening dress was still very clear, the golden hair hung back, so that the white back of the neck loomed, and from time to time you could see the corners of her mouth hooked, as if she was very happy.
Inadvertently, the other party seemed to sense something, or completely unintentionally, she turned her head back slightly, and then met Sean's gaze. Stunned, surprised, and then a little confused, but soon turned into annoyance, and immediately turned away from looking this way.
Sean clenched his fists involuntarily, unwillingly, the desire to possess her suddenly popped up, still so strong, that he couldn't control it for a while. originally thought that after not seeing her for more than a month, after I had already reflected, I should be able to treat her with a normal heart, but I didn't expect that after seeing her at the awards ceremony, she would still look like this.
Damn, she's Kate, not Helena! He said this to himself, but to no avail.
"The winner of the best costume design is, Lindy from "Singing and Playing"? Hamming! "At this time, there are three female voices on the stage, from left to right, Drew? Barrymore, Cameron? Diaz and Lucy? Liu.
This lineup somewhat diverted Sean's attention, after all, he played a role in "Breaking Bad", and the three of them took the stage together to present the awards, no doubt to promote the film.
Drew is really willing to spend the money, and I don't know how much effort it has spent. Sean grinned at the thought of something. Looking at the three women above, if not Lucy? Liu really doesn't fit the aesthetics, he really wants to see if he can get bed together, anyway, Drew and Cameron won't refuse.
Then, he was stunned for a moment, and a thought suddenly came to him, and he was a little impetuous to Kate? Blanchett looked over there.
"Hey, where are you looking? Do you want to rekindle an old relationship with Gwyneth? Jude's voice suddenly rang in his ears, startling Sean.
"What are you talking about?" Sean said in disguise.
"Isn't it? You keep looking over there, isn't it because Gwyneth is over there? Jude squeezed his eyes and put on a "don't hide it, I can see it" expression.
It's really strange to say, when he first joined the crew of "Talented Ripley", this guy looked at him coldly, and it didn't improve until he accidentally hit him on the head. But now the two have reached the point where they can talk about everything and joke at will, and there is nothing more wonderful about the world, just like a year and a half ago he was a nobody, but a year and a half later he can participate in the top events of the film industry.
"If I just look over there and have that meaning, then I think you should change careers, Jude, entertainment journalist is obviously a better fit for you." Sean laughed teasingly.
In the back row, not far from Kate, Gwyneth, who had come in with them, was sitting upright and applauding the winners. That's fine, as long as Kate doesn't get involved, he can say whatever he wants, and as for Gwyneth, a few times are enough.
"You guy, I was told the main thing." Jude was unmoved, and teased him in turn.
"yes, maybe I should call you, Mr. See-Eye?" Sean deliberately knocked him with his elbow.
As he whispered and laughed with Jude, his mood finally calmed down, and his attention gradually shifted to the stage. I have to admit that the Oscars are worthy of being the most well-known, dazzling and gorgeous awards ceremony in Hollywood, and the Golden Globe Awards' dinner is similar to a party of nominees compared to it.
Before the awards ceremony, the film school not only has a rehearsal, but also arranges for the nominees to gather together for photos and meals to promote the Oscars. Most of these nominees are leaders in various departments in the film industry, and they are not well-known among the public, but they all have their own connections, and the nominees for the performance award are either well-known actors or figures who have been up and down in the circle for a long time, which should not be underestimated. Even Jude has been acting in various plays and movies for several years, and a young man like Sean, who is less than 20 years old, does seem a little out of place in it.
In short, if the Golden Globes are a party, the Oscars are more advanced and bigger, and every link is arranged just right. For example, various film terms are introduced between awards, and nominees are introduced one by one, and the big screen next to it will also play some pictures, such as before Kate and Jude go up together to present the best short film, Morgan? Freeman first introduced a history of the development of cinema, and then showed a documentary clip of "200 Million Years of History" about the development of cinema.
Similarly, when the award for Best Animated Short Film was presented, the honorees were three popular characters from Toy Story, Woody, Buzz Lightyear, and Tracy. However, there were no three toys at the scene, they only appeared on the TV, so the audience also watched the awards on the prepared big screen.
Plus all sorts of performances, and Billy? Christo spared no effort to gag, and the atmosphere on the scene was always just the right amount of enthusiasm.
"The winner of Best Supporting Actor is Michael? Kane! "With the award presenter, last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Judy? Dench's voice, the melody of "The Law of the Cider House" sounded, and the old actor from the United Kingdom immediately stood up full of joy, which was his second Oscar after 1986.
Jude by your side? Although Luo was applauding, the loss in his eyes was still quite obvious, who wouldn't want to take a little golden man?
"Don't be discouraged, Jude, maybe you'll have a chance next year." Sean comforted him.
"What, I look lost?" Jude deliberately feigned surprise.
"Of course, all over the face." Sean pointed to his face.
"Okay, okay," Jude rolled his eyes, "I'm really sorry, who knows if I'll be nominated next year." ”
"Come on, then," Sean shrugged, "didn't you notice?" The Oscars in the past two years have been won by Britons a lot, first Judy? Dench, now Michael? Kane, think about "Shakespeare in Love", which won the best film last year, and wasn't there rumors everywhere before, Sam of "American Beauty"? Is Mendes most likely to win Best Director? So, as long as you work hard, you may be able to get what you want next year. ”
Hearing his words, Jude really touched his chin and thought about it, but quickly reacted again: "Come on, you guy, my chances of being shortlisted and winning the award next year are probably lower than if you win the best actor now." ”
"No kidding, do you really think I'll win the best prize this year?" Sean said with a smirk.
"Who knows?" Jude Mo rubbed his chin and looked at him, "It's like no one would have thought that Anthony would pick you as the leading actor in the movie, no one would have thought that you would be better than everyone expected, no one would have thought that you were only 19 years old, no one would have thought that you would be nominated for the Golden Globe, no one would have thought that you would be nominated for an Oscar." So, if you really get a record-breaking Best Actor in an upset later, I wouldn't be too surprised. ”
"Hearing you say that, I suddenly think I should be very proud." Although Sean was so teasing, he sighed slightly in his heart.
