Chapter 535: As expected
"Michael? Amter, "Little Sunshine Beauty"! With the voice of the award presenter, Amter, the screenwriter of "Little Sunshine Beauty", stood up in disbelief, and then hugged the people around him ecstatically.
"Thank you very much, I beg your pardon, my throat is bad, I'm so excited, I'm completely unprepared......" When he went up to pick up the little golden man, he spoke a little incoherently.
It's understandable that Amter's script was basically completed in 02, but it has not been able to attract investment, and in 04, the focus was intended to take over, but in the end it was given up, because I always felt that the content was too bland, so I ended up cheapening Sean and reincarnation. Of course, there is also the credit of Endeavour, they have contributed to this matter, and all the staff, from actors to photographers, from props to lighting engineers, are all covered by Endeavour.
This investment did not disappoint them, not to mention the surprisingly high reputation, not to mention those miscellaneous awards, but the Oscars, even if there are only four nominations, these four nominations are not light. Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and now Best Original Screenplay, any one of them alone is quite difficult for an independent film to get, let alone four and two.
Don't think about the best film, as the awards ceremony deepens, Sean can basically determine that if there is no butterfly effect, it should be "The Departed" to win the best film, and Scorsese finally won the best director after decades of ups and downs.
Even so, this is still a perfect answer for Endeavour, proving once again that this brokerage company, which was founded in 97, will only become more and more prosperous.
Of course, the same is true for reincarnation, although it is Tang's that is produced, but it is reincarnation that is responsible for distribution, and the films that are distributed are excellent, and the distributor will also receive attention. But at this moment, in this place, the people on the other side of reincarnation probably hope that "Babel" or "Juno" can win the best movie, no matter how closely Tang and reincarnation are combined, they are always two companies.
It's a pity that, as I said before, according to the memories I remembered, "The Departed" should be the most likely to win the award. In this way, "Juno" is a bit of a pity, although the nominations for several awards are also very important, Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay, but the most promising is only Best Original Screenplay.
It's a pity that this award was won by "Little Sunshine Beauty", and the college obviously likes this inspirational road movie more than teenage pregnancy movies.
Sean didn't know that if it weren't for himself, "Juno" would have been released at the end of this year, and then won Best Original Screenplay at next year's Oscars. But okay Diablo? Coty didn't know, otherwise, she would definitely fight to the death with Sean.
"The winner of Best Art Direction is the ...... of 'Sweeney Todd,'" the voice on stage called the distracted Sean back, and then followed Burton as they stood up to congratulate the creators.
This is the first time that the crew of "Sweeney Todd" has won an award tonight, and if you think about the list carefully, if you guess correctly, this is likely to be the only award for this movie tonight.
Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but look to the other side, the crew of "Pan's Labyrinth" had put away their disappointed looks, and they were also strong contenders for this award.
However, they had already won the best makeup before, so Sean felt that it would not be a big deal to lose the best art direction.
Of course, this is from the perspective of fairness or sharing the cake, from a personal point of view, Sean still feels that "Pan's Labyrinth" should be allowed to win this award, although he played the leading role in "Barber Todd", but "Pan's Labyrinth" is his own movie, don't forget, reincarnation has such as funds.
Speaking of which, in this way, plus when "The Departed" was recommended to Scorsese, they also intervened, so that there are at least five or six movies at this Oscars that can be directly related to Reincarnation Pictures.
This is a remarkable feat, not to mention the second-tier production company, which is the seven major studios, and this situation is also very rare.
Does this mean that you have completely established yourself in Hollywood? Sean thought so, somewhat complacent. However, he quickly controlled his emotions and found a way to win the Oscar for Best Picture first, the box office is there, but the honor is still missing.
The production company that has won the best movie does not necessarily have a high status in Hollywood, but the production company that has a status in Hollywood must have one or two golden figures.
And now, even if "The Departed" finally wins the best movie, it has nothing to do with Reincarnation Pictures.
It's similar to Sean himself, isn't it? There is a box office and fame, but there is no honor. So he began to feel that it would be good if he won the Best Actor tonight, even if he felt that it was unlikely because of a series of factors before, he was really a fickle animal.
But fortunately, reality quickly taught him a vivid lesson, and with the award of Best Actress to Helen, who played the current reigning Elizabeth II in "The Queen"? Mirren - poor Kate? Winslet, once again, missed the Golden Man, and lost to his own countrymen.
Obviously, she, like DiCaprio, repaid the "Titanic" account, but Sean didn't sympathize with her at all, I don't know why, he didn't like her no matter what.
Don't mention this, after the Best Actress is over, she will naturally be the Best Actor, and getting this little golden man is-
"Forrest? Whitaker, "The Last Dictatorship"! "Reese, the winner of the last Best Actress? Witherspoon pronounced his name.
Immediately, the audience in the hall began to applaud the audience with the excited avatar of the black actor in his forties on the big screen, accompanied by the soundtrack of "The Last Dictatorship".
Sean breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, even if he was a little lost, he quickly adjusted, in Jennifer? When Hudson won Best Supporting Actress, he was already vaguely aware that there was a real possibility of a fourth black actor.
Just like the time in 01, the black actress and the actor appeared together, which was completely a victory for skin color, not to mention that there were two black actors nominated for leading actor this year.
But I'm afraid the most lost at the moment should be Will? Smith, Peter? Otto is used to it, and DiCaprio continues to pay the bills, but Smith rubs shoulders with the little golden man tonight when the color of his skin dominates, and he is definitely not happy.
In fact, as long as you think about so many of his high-grossing works, it is normal that you can't get them, and that's how it is in film school. Speaking of which, the "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" that he nominated also has the investment of Reincarnation Pictures, because he had previously collaborated on "All the Love Saints", so when Smith came to lobby for the production of "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", Sean naturally let Vladimir agree after knowing about it.
Imagine how funny it would be if tonight's nominees for Best Movie were "The Departed," "Little Miss Sunshine," "Juno," "Babel," and "When Happiness Knocks" or "Pan's Labyrinth."
Putting this aside for the time being, although the academy hates to link the probability of winning the prize to the commercial value, this is their rule, and they can't change the rules, so they can only abide by it.
As for the issue of skin color, this is actually a good thing, and since the winds of political correctness have blown to this point, then next year may be very beneficial to Sean.
Not much to say about the best director and best film after that, Scorsese and his "The Departed" both won, which can be regarded as a long-held dream.
But there are two small episodes here, one is that when the best director is awarded, the award presenters are actually the other three of the four directors who were tied with Scorsese in the 80s, that is, Francis? Coppola, Steven? Spielberg and George? Lucas.
It can be seen that the academy still attaches more importance to Scorsese, and as soon as this lineup comes out, basically everyone knows who the winner of the best director will be.
The funniest thing is that when Spielberg boasted that they were all winners of Best Director, and Coppola helped to praise them, George Lucas, who was caught in the middle, suddenly said, "Wait, guys, I can't think I have won Best Director." ”
Then, after a two-second pause, Spielberg and Coppola exchanged glances, and then they both walked to the other side of the stage, "we don't know him" and excluded Lucas.
The hall burst into laughter, and applause continued, even Sean couldn't help but smile and shake his head and applaud, they were really entertaining.
George? Lucas angrily announced that he would no longer direct films himself after falling out with the union because of the order of the subtitles, a vow that has been broken by the "Star Wars Prequels" trilogy, but it is true that he has not directed a film for more than a decade, and only served as a producer in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.
If he hadn't been so radical at the time, and then directed a few more films like "American Painting", it might not have been impossible to win a golden man for best director - well, it's not very likely, the "Star Wars" franchise brought him too much fame, and it was almost impossible for a science fiction director to take it, Spielberg was making "E." T" was already quite close, but unfortunately he still lost to Richard in "Gandhi"? Attenborough.
But then again, who knows what's going to happen? Just like now, after not directing movies, his energy is all devoted to the research and development of special effects, so he has the glory of Industrial Light and Magic.
To be honest, when it comes to his part, it doesn't matter if he wants the best director or not.
When Scorsese gave a speech, he was inevitably still a little excited, said several thanks, and asked Spielberg to check the envelope to see if he had really won the award. However, in this case, he actually remembered Sean, and thanked him for recommending this movie in his speech, which made Sean a little flattered.
Then, in the second episode, when awarding the best film, Allen said a few words as usual, introducing the candidates. Obviously, Scorsese has said before that Sean recommended him a Hong Kong movie, but she said that it was a Japanese movie here, if it wasn't intentional, it would be too careless.
Sean doesn't know how many Chinese watched this year's awards ceremony through the Internet or Channel Six, but he knows that they must be very unhappy at this time.
