Chapter 373: The Hot Controversy
Because the last emperor did not get any nominations for performance awards, Gong Li, Chen Hong, and Liang Jiahui were not so nervous after walking the red carpet, especially Chen Hong, she had nothing to be nervous about at all, Gong Li and Liang Jiahui had to present the award as guests, Chen Hong just sat and watched, anyway, it doesn't matter if you understand it or not, just applaud every award.
To say that you are worried is to worry about whether the rest of the crew can win the award, but this kind of mentality that others may win awards and yourself may win awards is completely different, and the tension is not much to be nervous.
This Oscar, like the previous Golden Globe Awards, the two biggest favorites are the Last Emperor with nine nominations and the field volleyball with eight nominations for Best Supporting Actor, and a movie that also received eight nominations called Room with a View.
However, although there are many nominations for a room with a view, it is generally not considered to be a big favorite to win an award, and it is a particularly important award.
Because compared to the last emperor adapted from the self-account of Pu Yi, who is based on a true story and the last emperor of China, and the field platoon that reflects on the Vietnam War, the room with a view, this movie that tells the love story of everyone's beautiful Lucy and the lower-class young George, is really not the dish of the Oscar judges.
If there was no last emperor, if there was no field platoon, maybe the room with a view would have been able to get more awards, but unfortunately there is no such if.
The awards were presented in the short film category first, and the award presenters always had to sigh two sentences with a sealed envelope, and this was the case for both large and small award ceremonies.
The list of winners of the Academy Awards can be said to be the best confidentiality of all awards in the world, after the members of the academy voted, the ballots were handed over to PricewaterhouseCoopers for statistics, the ballots were placed in the safe, the guards with loaded guns guarded day and night, and the paper after the statistics was all burned, and the list of winners was put into sealed envelopes, and it was handed over to the award presenters until the time of awarding, which was claimed to be absolutely confidential.
But the Oscars, which are absolutely secretive, have made a big joke in the 21st century, when the biggest favorites at that Oscars were La La Land, which received 14 nominations, and Moonlight Boy, who received 8 nominations, and when the Best Picture was finally awarded, it was an oolong.
The award presenter Warren Beatty read out "La La Land", the award of La La Land can be said to be expected, and there is basically no surprise to everyone, so the creators of La La Land have come to the stage, and the three producers read the acceptance speech, one of the producers just quoted the lyrics "This is for those who dare to dream" to express their excitement, and was suddenly told by the host that it was wrong, the creators of La La Land were confused, and it was the Moonlight Boy who won the best picture instead of their own La La Land.
It's just a day of empty joy, the key is that there is also a happy scene in the global live broadcast on such an occasion, the look of joy and ecstasy has been seen, and the acceptance speech has been said, at this time, it is wrong, and I will feel ashamed inexplicably, and the mood can be imagined, it is estimated that many people are eager to get into the cracks, although they are innocent.
The atmosphere of the audience was awkward for a while. So that host Jimmy Kimmour has repeatedly said that this may really be his first and last time hosting the Oscars.
But this pot is really not about the host or the award presenters, and it is to blame the so-called absolutely confidential, fair and just PricewaterhouseCoopers accounting firm.
Because the award presenter should have held the envelope of the winner of the best film in his hand, but when Warren Beatty opened it, he saw Emma Stone in La La Land, and the old man was also old, and when he saw that it was La La Land, he didn't care why the best picture came out with the name of the heroine, anyway, he thought that it was the list of winners of the best film, so he read it.
Since the award is won by the Moonlight Boy and not La La Land, then this envelope must have been taken by mistake, there is no doubt about it, but the problem is that because of Emma Stone of the Moonlight City, this is obviously the list of winners of the Best Actress award, but the Best Actress has been awarded before, and the winner is Emma Stone, who was nominated for a wonderful performance in La La Land.
Since the Best Actress has already been awarded, how can there be another completely sealed envelope of the Best Actress winners, and how does PricewaterhouseCoopers do it? Fair and impartial, and absolutely confidential?
Hehe, it's scary to think about it.
However, whether or not the Oscars are absolutely fair and impartial as the academy says and whether the list of winners is absolutely confidential, these are not important, the most important thing is that the award of the moonlight boy once again proves that the choice of the academy is always absolutely politically correct under the condition of ensuring the artistic level.
Is Moonshine Boy good? In the eyes of people who like literary films, it is very good, but it is not much better than La La Land, and even La La Land is higher, but because Moonlight Boy tells black people and tells gay stories, this must be politically correct, because in the Oscars the previous year, many black actors and white actors who sympathized with black people were criticized for the strange reason that there were no black people shortlisted, so there was a suspicion of racial discrimination, so the Oscars on Moonlight Boy had to take a stand and be politically correct, not only on Moonlight Boy, but also in other movies and awards, many black actors were nominated for awards.
Moonlight Boy winning the three awards of Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Adapted Screenplay is a typical Hollywood "politically correct" choice.
The first award was the best live-action short film in the short film category, and the winner was "Precious Images", followed by the best animated short film, three nominations "Greek Tragedy", "Frogs, Dogs and Devils", "Naughty Jumping Light", "Naughty Jumping Light" produced by DreamWorks Animation Studio, if you don't want to win the award, it's fake, but Qiao Feng knows that he will never win, so he is not as nervous as Edwin Catum and John Lasseter, and the result is as expected, the award is not Naughty Jumping Light but " Greek Tragedy.
The third is Liang Jiahui, the best documentary short film awarded by Gong Li, "Woman - For America, For the World", "Gentle Dancer", "The Man Who Conquered Disaster", "Sunflowers in the Greenhouse", "Sam", the winner is "Woman - For America, For the World", all Gong Li did was open the envelope, and then other things such as reading the list of winners were all done by Liang Jiahui, who can speak English.
Only the awards were awarded one by one, the best original song was won by Top Gun, the best sound editor, and the best visual effects were won by Alien 2 of the classic series of thriller sci-fi films directed by James Cameron.
Then there began to be nominations for the last emperor, but only one, both of them fell through.
On the contrary, the field platoon has won the best sound effect and the best editing award, these two are important awards, especially the best editing award, which often indicates the attribution of the final award, and it is so politically correct to get the best editing, Qiao Feng can already think of the award of the last field platoon, and the rest of the crew also knows this, so one or two are very frustrated.
As a result, just when they were in a heavy mood, they suddenly won the lottery.
