It was 7:40 p.m., and the Oscars red carpet was finally over, and after the guests had entered the theater, it was like a trading market, noisy.

Next, after several reminders from the announcer, everyone slowly quieted down, and finally officially started the awards party at eight o'clock.

This year's Oscar host is Neil Patrick Harris, a comedian, but not very successful, but he has hosted the Emmys, and of course he can host the Oscars now.

"This is the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, the scene of the 87th Academy Awards, and the host Neil Patrick Harris is invited below."

Neil Patrick Harris took the stage for a few minutes, followed by the opening song and dance performance of "Moving Pictures......

This is the established procedure for the Oscars, how many years has it not changed? No one remembers.

It is said that the United States is an innovative country, but in fact they are very conservative, especially about certain processes and systems. An Oscar awards party has always been like this, the host comes on stage, opens with singing and dancing, and then there is the host's talk show, which he thinks is a humorous review of the shortlisted films.

And then it starts with the award of Best Supporting Actor, as long as anyone who regularly watches the Oscars knows this routine, it has not changed for many years.

He Fang also went down with this process, and he also came several times, knowing when to applaud and when to smile, after all, he was sitting in front, and the camera would often scan him.

In other words, are there any outstanding movies at this Oscars? Strictly speaking, "Birdman" can only be regarded as half, in fact, "Birdman" is just a Hollywood shell of a European literary film, and it is actually a literary film.

Therefore, there are many elements of European literary films in the audio-visual language of "Birdman", such as pseudo-long shots, very ingenious camera positions, satirical of magical reality, violent and wild performances, and attention to the audio-visual language expressed by the author, which the general audience cannot understand...... and many other elements are the way of European literary films.

This Alejandro González Iñárritu is really a director who is good at making art films, who knows that he will be the winner of two consecutive Oscars for Best Director more than 60 years later.

Because his "The Revenant" with Leonardo will allow him to continue to win awards next year, but he is a director who can't grow into a commercial film, and he has been dominated by the critical language of cinema.

Look at several of his masterpieces back then, such as "Beautiful Mistake", "Birdman", and "The Revenant", the core of which is criticism or satire, but he is already a relatively successful literary director.

At least he mixed literature and art into Hollywood, and many literary and artistic directors couldn't get into Hollywood, so they could only mix in the three major film festivals.

Of course, having said that, a literary film like "Birdman" winning an Oscar really doesn't quite meet the requirements of the Oscar.

Which one was the "Bomb Disposal Unit" that criticized the Iraq War, which was not a literary film, and the Democratic Donkey Party criticized the film of the Communist Party's commander.

Therefore, there are very few award-winning blockbusters in the Oscars that are purely literary films, because the Oscars will not make criticism of the United States become the mainstream of film ideology, which is inconsistent with the image of the United States.

He Fang thought endlessly in his mind while watching the awards, as if the Oscars had become more and more deformed since the past two years, and then completely distorted after 2023.

When Eddie Murphy announced that it was the four writers of "Birdman" who won the award for Best Original Screenplay, it was almost certain that "Birdman" would be the biggest winner.

And then Oprah Winfrey presented the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, "The Room" was shortlisted for this award, and then Emma Donohue was nervous, although the concept she can win is very low, but the first time she was nominated for an Oscar, who doesn't want to be lucky to win the award?

"The winner of the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay is ......" Oprah Winfrey also paused deliberately before slowly reading: "Graham Moore's "Imitation Game", congratulations." ”

He Fang could clearly see Emma's whole body tremble for a moment, and then she forcibly controlled her emotions and smiled awkwardly and applauded.

After all, it's the first time to come, and I haven't received professional acting training, so it's normal to have poor control.

"It's okay, I'll do it again next time, I believe you will succeed next time." He Fang comforted softly.

"Well, thanks, I'm fine."

……

After the script award was awarded, the best director award was awarded, and He Fang knew that he didn't have a play, so he was very relaxed.

The guest of honor is Ben Affleck, the director and star of "Escape from Tehran", who likes to direct and act himself.

After Ben Affleck took the stage, he slowly introduced several shortlisted directors, namely Alejandro González Iñárritu's "Birdman", Richard Linklater's "Boyhood", He Fang's "Room", Wes Anderson's "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and Morten Tedum's "Imitation Game".

At the same time as the introduction, he also gave several directors separate shots, He Fang was quite relaxed, and waved his hand at the camera.

Even Guo Wei, the host of Yang Liu, said that He Fang said at the red carpet ceremony that it was too difficult to defend the title, and he probably had given up, which is why he was so relaxed and casual.

This makes the audience in front of the TV also understand, I see.

When Ben Affleck began to promote the results, the screen showed several directors in real time, and everyone looked different.

"The Oscar for Best Director was...... Sandro González Iñárritu, "Birdman", congratulations to Sandro. ”

Then the audience applauded thunderously, and there were even quite a few cheerers and whistlers.

Sandro González Iñárritu waved his trophy excitedly when he came to the stage, and then walked off the stage after saying a lot of speech.

So far, the crew of "Room" has not received anything so far, and now they are looking forward to the Best Actress Award, as for the Best Picture Award? This is no longer to be counted on.

It just so happens that after the Best Director Award is awarded, it is the Best Actor Award.

The winner of this year's Best Actor Award is Eddie Redmayne for "The Theory of Everything", an actor who has acted in many literary films and is not bad, and has also acted in "Les Miserables" with Annie.

is usually a person who is often seen in major parties, He Fang is more familiar with him, and his connections are really good.

After the award for Best Actor is awarded, it is time for the Best Actress Award.

Anne turned her head to look at Hefang, who saw her nervousness, and then he nodded to Annie, indicating that everything was all right, so Annie took a deep breath, and then pretended to be very calm.

The guest presenting the Best Actress Award is Leonardo DiCaprio, and the Best Actor Award of the last session presents the Best Actress Award this year, just like that.

Leonardo is very popular, as soon as he took the stage, the whole theater applauded and cheered, as if fans had seen their idols.

He nodded at everyone with that charming smile and then began to speak: "Good evening everyone, well, the famous film critic Roger Albert once said that 'when a movie character is successfully created, the audience will become this character from the heart', and these five extremely talented actresses not only touched us, but also made us empathize, heartbreak, escape, loss, resurrection, determination...... Ultimately, find yourself, and here are the Best Actress nominees......"

After talking a lot, Leonardo began to introduce the nominees, the five actresses, and then gave each of them a shot.

Anne smiled sweetly, but it was clear that she was still a little nervous. In fact, she is a woman who is not very good at hiding her emotions, and she is more straightforward.

It is precisely because of this that she was attacked by people with a heart for being hypocritical, very pretentious, selfish, etc., in the past two years, she has begun to cover up her shortcomings that have been attacked, but how can she say that she can change it?

After Leonardo's introduction, he made an expression that created a pause in suspense that was about to be revealed.

After three seconds, he slowly picked up the piece of paper in his hand and opened it.

"The winner of the Oscar for Best Actress was...... Anne Hathaway, "The Room", congratulations to Anne. ”

As soon as Leonardo pronounced the name, Anne suddenly felt a hot current rushing from the root of her tail to her head, and her eyes felt like they were going to be filled with blood, no, tears?

But she desperately held back, desperately telling herself in her mind to be calm, calm, and she slowly stood up.

I only felt the voice of my companion ringing in my ears: "Congratulations, Annie." ”

"Congratulations, Anne......"

She didn't know how she hugged them and walked onto the stage, and it wasn't until she took the trophy from Leonardo's hand and stood in front of the microphone that she felt like she was out of her numbness.

It was as if the previous part was all a program she had forced on her brain, and when her brain failed, her body would execute those instructions on its own.

And now her brain has recovered and taken over her body again.

Suddenly, I was a little excited and nervous.

"I, I, I don't know what to say, I've thought of a thousand words before, but when I stand here, I forgot it all, I'm sorry." After Anne finished speaking, she covered her mouth and adjusted her mood.

The audience resounded with thunderous applause and cheers, as well as cheers.

"Thank you, thank you." She adjusted her mood and finally remembered what she was going to say, "First of all, thank you to the Oscar judges, thank you for voting for the 'princess' you once liked, although she was later riddled with rumors, but they still chose to believe her, thank you." ”

Bang Bang Bang ...... This passage of Anne is a sincere expression, because of this ushered in applause.

"Of course, I don't need to say, everyone knows who I want to thank the most, right? That's right, who is the director, without him, I would not be able to stand on the stage to win this award, thank him for a few pale words can not be expressed, but I still have to say thank you. ”

Bang Bang Bang ......

"Next I would like to thank my husband, yes, he has always encouraged me and supported me during my most difficult times. Thank you, Adam, I love you.

Also, I would like to thank my parents for ......"

Anne, who had recovered her mood, gushed her thanks, and finally thanked her, she stepped down with Leonardo and took her to the back to take a photo with the background wall of the award.

Needless to say, the last prize was the biggest winner, and in the end, "Birdman" became the biggest winner...... At this point, the 87th Oscars are officially over.

This may also be the last Oscar for Ho Fang, who is going to build a podium of his own ideas.
