For Hugh, who has hosted three Tony Awards? For Jackman, hosting the Oscars was not much of a challenge, and the academy chose him as the host, rather than a past comedy star or talk show host, naturally because of Wolverine's own strong appeal.

Today, even the most stubborn and conservative members of the Academy have to admit that the Oscar ratings have reached the point where they have to be saved.

Think about the situation when "Titanic" swept the Oscars, with an average of 59.75 million viewers, setting a record for the Oscars; When Ryan won the Oscar for Best Actor for "Gladiator", there was a peak moment of 78.97 million ratings in history; When "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Return of the King" won eleven golden statuettes with eleven nominations, the average ratings were the highest since the beginning of the new century.

All of this reflects the fact that the method of solving the ratings problem is actually very simple and straightforward, but it is very difficult for conservative colleges to make this choice.

Therefore, Oscar can only start from other aspects, such as unexpected and so on.

Different from the previous practice of announcing in batches, this year's Oscars firmly "tightened" the list of award presenters, and until the last minute, a name will not be disclosed, which is mainly reflected in several heavyweight awards, especially the award ceremony will have a heavy change.

The first award for Best Supporting Actress was evident in this change.

The presenter is no longer the traditional winner of Best Supporting Actor in the past, but Angelica? Houston, Whoopi? Goldenberg and Scarlett? Johnson and other five female stars who have won the Best Supporting Actress award in the past, when they walked out from under the big screen showing their respective avatars, because the organizing committee did a good job of keeping secrets in advance, it did bring some surprises.

Of course, that's all there is to the surprise, and the rest is to talk about strings, introduce the list of nominees, and award the Best Supporting Actress Golden Man. The winners will announce their feelings about winning the award......

Penelope, a movie star from Spain? Cruz won Best Supporting Actress for "Midnight in Barcelona".

"Isn't it Amy? Adams. ”

Watching the other party walk backstage, Nicole whispered, "Is this considered an unpopularity?" ”

"It seems that this year's awards are going to take the international route." Ryan pinched his chin, "That's a good thing. ”

Like that fake list, Amy? Adams, who was the favorite for best supporting actress predicted by the media, has now chosen an overseas actress, and the academy seems to want to change the overly American situation of the past two Oscars and go international instead.

It's a good thing, like Ryan said, after all, Nicole is not an American actor.

Nicole understands that, too. Her eyes swept over Ryan's face, and she suddenly thought of herself from the lineup of award presenters just now, and said in a low voice, "Natalie? Could Portman be one of the presenters for Best Actress? ”

Although Nicole still has a smile on her face, it is completely superficial.

"Nat is on location in Israel." Ryan shook his head, not shying away, "Didn't come back." ”

Hearing this name, which was once very close but then extremely annoying, Nicole's eyes flickered. A hand hung down on Ryan's lap, as if he wanted to grab it viciously, so as to vent the resentment that still couldn't be dissipated in his heart.

The two of them knew each other perfectly, even if it was just the corner of the eye that swept over Nicole's face. Ryan could roughly guess part of her thoughts, and a hand crept out, clasped it around his leg, and wrapped it tightly.

The next moment. The corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously, even if it was only by feeling, he knew it. Those long nails must have sunk into the palm of his hand.

"The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay is ......"

Steve on stage? Martin and Tina? Faye has already presented the best original screenplay, and the winner behind it is, "Simon? Beaufoy, "Slumdog Millionaire", adapted from Vikas? Schwarup's novel Q&A. ”

This British film, which takes place in India, is one of the big winners of the nomination list, and it turns out that Brad? Pitt's Benjamin? The Curious Case of Barton is the supporting role and backdrop for this film.

Benjamin? The Curious Case of Barton only won two technical awards, Best Makeup and Best Art Director, and the other co-nominees were almost unsuccessful on the list.

"Weakness" has only two nominations for Best Actress and Best Picture, and the rest of the time, Ryan and Nicole are acting as spectators.

Of course, there are other films from Walt Disney that make it to the awards, such as Best Animated Feature.

"Jack, I heard you're starting your own animated feature film career?"

On stage, Jennifer? Aniston and Jack? Blake is playing tricks, Jack? Blake took Aniston's words and said, "Yes, I've been working on the voice of DreamWorks animated feature films for the last couple of years, and then bet on Pixar to win Best Animated Feature." ”

A burst of laughter erupted from the stage, and the camera was given to Jerry Buddha at the right time? A close-up of Katzenberg.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Katzenberg." Aniston holding Jack? "We don't know where he came from. ”

"I don't think Mr. Katzenberg will." Jack? Blake duly quipped, "They all belong to Disney now." ”

"How strong Disney's cartoons are," he continued, "you can see from this list of nominees. ”

"Then let's take a look." Jennifer? Aniston turned to the big screen, a brilliant cut of past animated feature films.

Piercing through the garbage-strewn sky, the camera zooms in to the ground, where Vali slices through a pile of rubbish and discovers two objects that curious him - a videotape and an Oscar-winning statuette!

Picking up the golden figure in his left hand and the tape in his right hand, Vali hesitated for a moment and chose the tape, throwing the golden figure away like garbage.

Back at home, Vali plays a video of a green-skinned monster and a donkey, and then a dog jumps out, a quick and sharp cut that introduces the three animated feature films nominated this year — "Wali-E," "Lightning Dog" and "Shrek 3."

The former is from Pixar Studios, and the latter two are from DreamWorks Animation Studios.

After the animation was edited, a close-up of Ryan appeared in the middle of the big screen, and without anyone introducing or mentioning it, the Kodak Theater erupted in warm applause, and then people stood up one after another, even if some of them were very reluctant, but more and more people stood up, and they could only stand up.

The audience stood up and paid tribute to the key figures who reshaped Disney's glory with the warmest applause!

Ryan also stood up with a soft applause, and it was no exaggeration to say that he had stolen the limelight from the winner of the best animated feature film.

Of course, for Pixar Studios, which is numb to winning awards, they don't care much about this kind of thing.

The winner is none other than "Machine Qì Man Wall-E", although the market response has been relatively lukewarm, but this kind of theme with a cold and reflective genre is the favorite of the Oscars.

Pixar Studios has won too many awards, and in the best animated feature film, in a phrase from the East, it is 'Pixar is out, who competes'!

Andrew, who came to the stage to accept the award? Stanton is like last year's Brad? Bird, like him, looked unusually calm, and after his routine thanks, he hurried backstage.

Subsequently, "Slumdog Millionaire" began to highlight its dominance at this year's Oscars, and they won many awards such as Best Sound, Best Cinematography, Best Editing, Best Dubbing, Best Sound Editing and Best Original Song, which can be called the biggest winner.

In Hugh? After Jackman and Beyoncé sang and danced, it was time for Best Supporting Actor to be awarded, just like Best Supporting Actress, Jon? Gray and Allen? Ah Jin and other five past best supporting actors walked on the stage, and there was no suspense in the result, although the movie and the characters are different, but as before, with the advantage of having hung up, Heath? Ledger won the Best Supporting Actor crown without any suspense.

This is the Oscar, and there are many ways to get an award, which is also a very unusual one.

If you hadn't seen God earlier in your previous life, Hiss? Ledger has a 90 percent chance of not winning Best Supporting Actor, for a very simple reason, because he starred not only in big-budget commercial films, but also in comic book superhero movies......

Most of the Oscar judges have deep-rooted discrimination against this type of film or character, but they can deal with the living, but like all members of the public, they are unusually tolerant of the dead.

Looking instead of Hiss? Ledger's parents, Ryan, like everyone else, stood up and applauded, and likewise, like the vast majority of people around him, had no thoughts in his heart.

This is Hollywood, even without James? Cameron can still operate as usual.

Just like Best Supporting Actress, this is only part of the awards ceremony, and the four heaviest awards are still placed at the end.

Unlike in the past, when male guests always presented the award for Best Director, Reese? Witherspoon stood on the stage.

"Earlier, all the components of cinematic art have appeared, with the exception of one profession, and that is the director, who is the CEO of a crew, who is in power, and who is also a parent, a brother and a negotiator, and when there are actors who stay in the nanny car and refuse to come out, the director is also responsible for inviting them out."

The former Oscar-winning actress looked at a place below the stage, "Of course it's not me, that's Ben?" Stiller. ”

"...... nominated for Best Director at this year's Oscars"

With the picture on the big screen, she introduced the five nominees for Best Director one by one, and then opened the envelope, and the result was just as everyone expected, "Danny? Bowie...... Slumdog Millionaire! ”

So far, among the heavyweight awards that have been awarded, the best supporting actress has been given to the Spaniard, the best supporting actor has been given to the Australian, and the best director has been given to the British, and the trend of internationalization is extremely obvious.

And what about Best Actress? (To be continued......)
