Chapter 588 Chapter 178 The Better One
On the afternoon of February 24, the Kodak Theater was as lively as ever, and although the ratings of the Oscars were always declining, he still deserved to be the most important award in the American film industry.
Therefore, reporters still came to the Avenue of Stars that had been closed early, set up various cameras and camcorders, and photographed and reported on the big and small stars who participated in this event.
"The Joel Cohen and Ethan Cohen that you see now, the Coen brothers are competing for the Oscars this year with "No Country for Old Men", this is their 11th nomination, whether they can get what they want like Martin Scorsese this year, it's up to them." Facing the camera lens, the host of ABC is introducing with emotion.
On the red carpet, various stars, directors, and producers are slowly and methodically walking towards the theater, laughing at each other or dealing with the peripheral media. Here, you can find any big name you want to find, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Scorsese and Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Tom Cruise, etc., and many more.
Thomas Paul Anderson was clearly very confident and had to admit that 'Blood Is Coming' was a great film, and Lewis did a great job. Of course, his opponent is also very good, and frankly, I almost believed it when I heard the news that Sean Down might come out, and he is really good, and I think he deserves a little gold man -- ha, just mentioned, he showed up, let's go and ask now, see what kind of mood he is in right now. The host turned around and began to shout hello.
"Hey, Barry, how are you? Specially came to host the Oscars? The young man who came over as he greeted him was the first to ask.
"Yes, I'll host this year," the host laughed, "How's it going, how does it feel to come out?" ”
"Help, Barry, enough people have asked this question." The other party immediately sighed.
The host continued to laugh: "Okay, so, are you bound to win tonight?" Or are you going to continue to prevaricate with the phrase 'you can't know the answer until the last second'? ”
"That's the truth, Barry, I think I'm doing a good job, but Lewis is also good, he's a strong opponent." The other party spread out his hand, revealing a helpless look.
"Then come on, I'm here to support you." The moderator didn't ask any more questions, and then turned to someone else.
Sean sighed inwardly, but didn't feel relieved, because the same question would always be asked.
"If you do come out, that's great." When I met Gus Van Sant, the first thing this guy said was this.
"It's not funny at all, Gus." Sean spread his hands.
"You can see it as a compliment." Sant laughed and patted him on the shoulder.
"It's a pity that I won't be interested in a man until I meet a woman who can completely attract my heart and fall in love with her." Sean said very simply.
"So what are the characteristics of a woman who can make you completely tempted and have a reason to fall in love vigorously?" Sant then asked.
"Hmm...... I don't know. Sean spread his hands again, and Sant couldn't help but laugh even louder, as if to say, "I knew you would."
Although Sean was also laughing, the corner of his eye glanced behind him, and at the far corner of the street, Kate, who had a big belly, walked slowly towards the theater with a smile in front of her. As for the other figure, he hadn't seen it yet, maybe it had already entered, maybe it hadn't arrived yet.
While greeting people while entering the hall of the Kodak Theater, Sean quickly found his place to sit down, and then fell silent, although everyone knew each other while sitting, Galen and the others were in the back, and Frederick was also sitting elsewhere, plus he had said so much before, so he simply took a break.
Looking around, the nominees for the acting awards were mostly sitting in the front row, so he quickly spotted Natalie, who might have been sitting for a while. Squeezing his hand slightly, he exhaled inwardly, then turned his gaze away, to Lewis.
Until now, Sean has never talked to this veteran actor face-to-face, so naturally he doesn't know what the other party is thinking. He would love to talk to this actor who is known for his acting skills, although many people have been abandoning the pregnant Isabel Adjani for him, and inexplicably marrying Rebecca Miller, but what man does not have this problem? Especially men in the entertainment industry.
Lewis has played many different types of roles, and each one has been played very well, and as Sean, who also has this ambition, it is natural to want to communicate with him.
It's just that there was a chance before, but before Sean could go over to say hello, Thomas Paul Anderson came over and pulled Lewis away. And he obviously glanced at Sean when he left, and there was no doubt that he was very upset with him, what a narrow-minded guy.
Sean was suddenly a little glad that he didn't work with him in the first place, although "Blood Is Coming" is indeed a good movie - well, he is actually thinking about it, if he could successfully participate in "Blood is Coming", there would not be so much pressure now.
As the hall fills up, the ceremony will begin in earnest, and this year's host will again be Jon Stewart. This is an accident, you must know that the previous review he hosted was not very good, many people said that his style and Oscar were not suitable, and last year's Alan DeGeneres did a good job, but the organizing committee did not continue to invite Allen but looked for Le Stewart, which is really unpredictable, this is Oscar's 80th birthday.
Well, no matter how much, although Sean is also one of the members, he has nothing to do with the management, so it is their business who the organizing committee finds to host, and it has nothing to do with him.
But the opening scene is still very good, after it is darkened, the big screen plays the beginning, and a truck enters Hollywood from the outside, with an obvious CG style. Along the way, you encounter many things, Jedi, dinosaurs, aliens, Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, and more, and finally the truck arrives at the Kodak Theater and finds the governor of the Terminator driving the car, and the cargo is a bunch of golden figures.
Eventually, these became the signature of the '80 Oscars, and Stewart was brought to the forefront.
Unsurprisingly, he made a joke about the previous strike, which was then extended to this year's best movie.
"Look at this year's murder movies, "No Country for Old Men", "Blood is Coming" and "Milk...... Is there any need for comfort here? What the hell is going on here? He said in an exaggerated tone, and then burst into laughter.
Similarly, after that, the nominations for Best Actor and Actress were ridiculed, from Lewis to Daniel, from Kate to Natalie, none of them were spared, which also made many people laugh. The only time that people were not very happy was when he unconsciously led the topic to politics, but fortunately he quickly realized this, and finally began to officially present the award after a few words. The first award was the best costume, and the guest of honor was Jennifer Garner, but Sean didn't pay too much attention to it, just clapped his hands when he needed to applaud, anyway, these awards have nothing to do with him, right?
But some of the shows are still very good, after all, it's the 80th birthday of the Oscars, and there are still a lot of tricks prepared, like the 70th Oscars - that time they are said to have made a bear to present the awards.
This session is not so exaggerated, but it still invites some people to go up and miss the old time, with the various historical things shown on the screen, it is indeed very feeling.
In addition, singing and dancing are also indispensable, and interestingly, the organizing committee asked Amy Adams, the heroine of "Enchanted", to go up and sing a theme song.
"Enchanted" is a Disney work, a G-rated family carnival that alternates animation and reality, and as always, it is interspersed with a large number of songs, and these songs are basically sung by the actors who play the characters.
However, it is a bit surprising that the actors were also allowed to sing at the Oscars, although Sean also sang as an actor, but it was a specialty.
Amy Adams controlled herself very well, and it was not bad to sing on stage with a good sense of contagion, well, the organizing committee always arranged it this way.
Maybe I'll be able to do her twice in the future. Sean, who was sitting below, had the idea, and then he frowned again. Damn it, why do you think this way? Indulgence has been indulged, why can't it be adjusted?
In fact, he knows the reason, but there are some things that can't be turned back without installing the south wall, and even if they don't hurt, they can't go back if they hit.
Okay, let's not talk about that, as several awards go on, it's finally the turn of the first acting award - Best Supporting Actor.
The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are ......, as always, presented by Jennifer Hudson, the winner of Best Supporting Actress last year.
The first one mentioned is Sean, who was nominated for "Death of a Sharpshooter", watching his appearance be displayed on the big screen, no matter how calm he is, his heartbeat will inevitably speed up a few points.
For this award, he is now yearning and worried, if he can get it, this will become his first little golden man, which is already remarkable compared to other post-80s male actors. But once this is the case, it means that he will not be able to win Best Actor tonight, and the Film Academy will not award two acting trophies to the same person at one Oscars.
So, what will be the end result? Sean involuntarily clenched his fists, knowing Jennifer Hudson pronounce his name: "Javier Bardem, "No Country for Old Men"! ”
For a while, warm applause rang out, and the Spaniards not far away also stood up excitedly and hugged the people around them to celebrate.
Disappointment inevitably welled up in Sean's heart, but he quickly breathed a sigh of relief that he didn't have to worry about it anymore.
At the same time, Sante, who was sitting next to him, also patted him on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Sean, you should be the one who competes better." ”
"Yes, I know." Sean nodded vigorously.
