Chapter 517: Handshake
Finally, with the appearance of the host Hugh Jackman, Chamberlain's surroundings quieted down, but the people next to him stopped talking, but the mobile phone text message ringtone began to ring non-stop, and the people around looked at him, and Chamberlain hurriedly turned it to mute.
Chamberlain didn't understand, so he whispered: "Is there any mistake, Shirley is still a middle school student, she has never participated in a performance, maybe she doesn't understand what acting skills are, why are these people so interested in her?" ”
Taylor gave him a blank look and explained: "You idiot, first of all, even if Shirley is a vase, it is also your country's Yuan Qinghua, a vase worth hundreds of millions, and a vase that can make that house shine immediately when put in a rotten house!" You say this, it can only mean that you don't pay attention to the current Internet, Shirley is the number one Internet celebrity in 2009, and was named 'goddess' by otaku, although she has not appeared in any movies or TV, but she is already known as the fourth American princess after Shirley Temple, Audrey Hepburn, and Anne Hathaway. ”
"So hot?" Chamberlain was taken aback, he really didn't pay enough attention to Shirley, the regular season was too tight.
Taylor sighed and whispered, "Also, who sued you for Shirley's bad acting skills?" Who sued you that she hadn't acted? She has at least acted in the school's stage plays, and her appearance is exceptional, you didn't show up to see it, you can ask your secretary Zhang Zilin, at that time, the little boys in the school were fascinated by her. ”
Chamberlain blinked, he felt compelled to get to know Shirley again, and the latter smiled sweetly at him.
Hugh Jackman appeared, and the awards ceremony officially began.
Like the NBA All-Stars, the Oscars have seen a significant decline in attention in recent years, with new lows in ratings. This year, in order to change this qiē, the Oscar organizing committee spent a huge amount of money to build the most extravagant crystal stage ever, aiming to visually grab people's attention.
Taylor introduced to Chamberlain that the stage was decorated with 92,000 Swarovski crystals by Broadway set master David Rockwell. The flying stream went straight down to 3,000 feet, and it was suspected that the Milky Way had fallen for nine days.
In addition, in order to save the decline in ratings of previous editions, the Oscar organizing committee also carefully selected a new host - Wolverine. Hugh Jackman, who plays Wolverine, is known to fans around the world through this role, and he is recognized as one of the sexiest men in the world.
As in the NBA All-Star Game, the lights went out, and the crystal chandeliers were quickly lit from top to bottom, and the snow-white light was overwhelming, as if there was really a waterfall spilling down. Anyway, the theater was rumbling, the movie stars started screaming and whistling, and Chamberlain thought it was funny, it was the same as the All-Star Game, except that he had players who became fans.
So, Chamberlain also began to whistle, his lung capacity was large, and a whistle blew down Julie and Pete in front of him with dull faces: "Will this kid breathe?" Or did he not breathe with his lungs? ”
The crystal chandelier was shining, blue-green patterns appeared on the ground, and with the female narrator's words, 'Now, let me invite Hugh Jackman, the host of the 81st Hollywood Awards Gala', a handsome guy walked briskly from behind the waterfall.
Wolverine, dressed in a black suit, is handsome and chic, full of male masculinity, and the female movie stars scream even more.
Jackman smiled at the many movie stars, then opened his hand and hugged and said, "Good evening, good evening, and welcome to the annual Oscars, which is a great event in the film industry, where we will recognize the outstanding films and the best actors and actresses......"
Usually the awards start with the main event, starting with "Best Picture", but this year's awards ceremony changed the order and started with Best Supporting Actor: the five people selected this year are Josh Brolin in "Mick Biography", Robert Downey Jr. in "Tropic Thunder", Philip Seymour Hoffman in "Child Abuse Suspicion", Heath Ledger in "Batman: Night Knight", and Michael Shannon in "Revolutionary Road".
When this award was being made, Jackman changed his high-spirited and powerful tone just now, and became low and slow, without saying much or guessing, the winner of this award is Heath Ledger, the handsome actor who played the villain Joker in "Batman" and was found dead in his New York apartment on January 28 at the age of 28.
Jackman said slowly and in a deep voice: "There is no doubt that Heath Ledger is an excellent actor and a rare talent...... Human life is limited, and life is even more cruel to a peerless actor. In his short life, he starred in movies such as "Brokeback Mountain" and "Batman: The Dark Knight...... has experienced the prosperous era of idols in their prime and youth, and the low tide period of turbulent and decadent undercurrents; I have also tasted the salted fish turning over and creating a brilliant career rejuvenation...... His legend eventually became "Resentment". His untimely death is a great loss for Australia, a great loss for Hollywood, and a great loss for the global film industry, and he is still in the prime of his life! However, Hiss's interpretation of a variety of contrasting and challenging roles will be remembered as a model for Australian actors, so let's bless him, Hiss, and give him a wonderful performance for God......
The audience was silent, Chamberlain watched the crying Heath parents come to the stage to accept the award, and felt a little uncomfortable, Heath Ledger does have an unlimited future, as early as 2005 he was nominated for Best Actor at the 78th Academy Awards for his performance in "Brokeback Mountain", if nothing else, he could have won the Oscar for Best Actor before the age of thirty-five, but unfortunately drug abuse ruined this qiē.
After a short period of, the awards party continued, Jackman's voice was impassioned again, and Chamberlain was stunned, it really deserved to be in the entertainment industry, and his face changed so quickly? Is everyone's sadness and sadness fake just now? He noticed that several female celebrities had tears in their eyes before, and now they started laughing again.
"Damn, your circle is really messy." Chamberlain shook his head.
Then came the highlight of the awards gala, the announcement of the Best Picture award, which made Slumdog Millionaire the 11th film in history to win the award without being nominated for a single actor and acting award.
Then came the announcement of the Best Actor Award, and Chamberlain noticed that although Pete in front of him was pretending to be relaxed, his hands were holding the armrest, and he seemed to be very nervous, so he was nervous even with him.
Pitt is now known as Hollywood's No. 1 vase man, a title that embarrasses him as much as Jordan is known as a dunk. In the past 20 years, Pitt has only received one nomination, which cannot but be said to be an embarrassment. Maybe this is the prejudice of the Oscars, the top handsome guy has no chance with acting, so it seems that winning the award is an impossible task, let alone him, the other beautiful man Leonardo is not the same? Tom Cruise also said he had something to say.
The cup is that this time the best actor still staggered by him, and Sean Penn, the protagonist of "Mick's Biography", won this award. Julie comforted Pete on the side: "You did a great job, baby, don't care about these damn things, your appearance in "Rejuvenation" is great, keep doing this, next time you will definitely be the best actor." ”
Sean took the stage to accept the award and gave a speech by the way, Pitt smiled and applauded, but Chamberlain felt that he could cry at any moment.
The competition for Best Actress was also fierce, and Kate Winslet was selected for the award, which everyone was prepared for, as she had already won the Oscar-winning Golden Globe award. From the earliest "Sense and Sensibility" to "Titanic" to this "Life and Death Reading", Kate Winslet's acting skills have become more and more perfect, and in just over ten years, she has also been nominated seven times, and in proportion to it, she has surpassed her predecessor Meryl Streep and set her own record in Hollywood.
But it was nothing, Winslet's subsequent acceptance speech was the most exciting, she excitedly walked up to the stage and hugged Jackman, took the microphone handed to her by the latter, she choked with joy: "Gentlemen, ladies, it's unbelievable, I mean, you can't believe that a dream that seems so stupid and so far away has really come true, before this I missed the big prize, and now I'm standing here, I've won this award, I have to tell everyone, It does feel so much better to get this award than it does to lose it, it's really a lot better. ”
Hearing this, everyone present couldn't help laughing, but Winslet didn't laugh, she slowly looked at the audience, with a vague smile on her face, and then said: "From "Titanic" to today, it has been almost fifteen years, during this time, countless people have passed through my life, and now I have something to say to a person, he is the most important person in my life, Leon ......"
The audience burst into exclamations, everyone looked at a position in the front row, Leonardo smiled and looked at Winslet, his handsome face showed an indifferent smile, Chamberlain looked from the side, and could see Leonardo's eyes shining in the light, obviously he was now in tears.
Winslet didn't care about the exclamations of the crowd, she looked at Leonardo affectionately and continued: "I'm glad to be able to stand here and say hello to you, Leon, I love you, I've loved you for 15 years!" I want to tell you that your appearance in this movie is very wonderful, and you will eventually reap the glory that belongs to you. In the end, I still have to say that I love you with all my heart, really. ”
At last Winslet could barely cry, and the stars turned from exclamations to smiles, and a torrent of applause rang out.
Leonardo looked directly at Winslet and gave her a flying kiss with his right hand, he kept nodding to the latter, the smile on his face was happy but vicissitudes, Chamberlain couldn't describe what kind of smile it was, but he suddenly felt very uncomfortable after seeing it.
At this time, a smooth and cold hand held his big hand, he was taken aback and subconsciously wanted to shake it off, but looking at the tears on Taylor's face next to him and embarrassed, he thought that he was invested enough, but he didn't expect Taylor to be more devoted.
Taylor also choked up and said: "Do you know, Z, when I used to watch "Titanic", I always thought that although Jack and Rose said goodbye in the movie, in reality they should eventually be married, it's incredible, the two of them ended up missing each other, what a pity, do you know how sorry they are? ”
Chamberlain comforted her and said: "Life is like this, a life with regrets is called life, otherwise if it is perfect, it will be a fairy tale." ”
"I wish I could live in a fairy tale." Taylor muttered with teary eyes.
Chamberlain secretly said that I also hope that in this way I can marry ten or twenty women as wives without worrying about the punishment of the law and the conflict between you.
He comforted Taylor, and the awards party was still going on, when Julie suddenly turned her head and winked at him and said, "Hey, boy, I can't see that Pickle Girl's wrist is quite strong." ”
Chamberlain was aggrieved and said in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense, I am a righteous gentleman!" ”
