In addition, “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” has also been nominated for many technical awards. The only difference is that, as a Chinese-language film, it is difficult to participate in the competition for several important awards.
The nominees for Best Foreign Language Film are, “All About My Mother in Spain, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon across the Pacific…”
Hearing the name of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, Li An relaxed and waved his fist vigorously, looking extremely excited.
This is already the second time he has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, and he is extremely excited.
Last time he was nominated for an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for his Bay-Wan film “Eating and Drinking Men and Women”.
But there was a big difference between that time and the present one. MGM, the North American distribution company of the film, did not devote a lot of resources and funds to public relations for the awards, while Orion Films is expected to spend a large amount of public relations funds for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film.
Ryan also showed a slight smile, the best foreign language film has been nominated, and next, we can continue to increase public relations efforts.
In order to truly bring the little golden man back, it is necessary to increase investment in public relations.
As for the rest of the technical awards, it is dispensable.
Many eyes in the banquet hall fell on the crew of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”. With the support of Orion Pictures, this film is likely to win the best foreign language film award.
The nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay are, “John Irvine’s Always Sunny, Anthony Minghella’s The Talented Ripley, Huiling Wang, James Shams’ Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon…”
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” was nominated for another award, along with “There’s Always a Sunshine” and “The Talented Ripley.”
Harvey Weinstein’s face became more and more gloomy, and he looked faintly at Stephen Spielberg not far away, and couldn’t help but curse secretly, “Damn old stubborn.”
If it wasn’t for Steven Spielberg, unnecessary competition could have been avoided entirely.
Thereby increasing the chances of winning.
Nominated for Best Supporting Actress is…
Finally, a more important award nomination was ushered in. Ryan could clearly feel that Angelina Jolie was a little nervous, and there was a hint of anticipation in her eyes.
This is her first possible Oscar nomination.
However, she didn’t have to be nervous for a long time before showing a look of surprise.
“Angelina-Jolie’s “Missing Girl”, Chloe-Sevigny’s “Boys Don’t Cry”…”
Ryan bowed his head and whispered in Angelina Jolie’s ear: “It seems that you have to spend a lot of public relations funds.”
Angelina Jolie shrugged her beautiful shoulders and said in a joking tone: “It seems that I need to pay in advance for the next film.”
“I’m afraid you will be disappointed.” Ryan said with a smile: “The crew will not agree to the request for advance payment.”
Best Supporting Actor nominees are, “Michael Caine “It’s Always Sunny,” Tom Cruise “Magnolia,” Jude Law “The Talented Ripley,” George Cantarini “American Beauty” “…”
“Wow!” Ryan screamed strangely, turned to Tom Cruise and said, “Tom, congratulations on being nominated for another Oscar.”
“However!” Ryan glanced at Harvey Weinstein, then at Stephen Spielberg, “Your competitor seems to be a little stronger.”
Tom Cruise showed a helpless look, “A very surprising nomination, I really don’t know how the Oscar jury voted.”
Having said that, there was a hint of sarcasm on his face.
Not mocking Oscar, but self-mockery.
Nominated for Best Supporting Actor!
It’s a happy thing for any actor, but for Tom Cruise, there is a hint of irony.
The silent irony of him from academic old men.
With the announcement of the best supporting actor nomination list, the most critical moment finally came, and many people in the banquet hall showed nervous expressions.
The best actress nominees are, “Annette Bening, “American Beauty,” Hilary Swank, “Boys Don’t Cry,” Jenny McTeer, “Tumbleweed,” Julia Roberts, “Notting Hill.” “…”
Harvey-Weinstein’s heart sank. “There’s Always a Sunshine” wasn’t nominated for Best Actress.
He suddenly had a bad feeling.
Next, regarding the other important awards, “There’s Always a Sun” may be about to fail.
Hearing the name of Julia-Roberts, Ryan glanced at Julia-Roberts who was not far away, with a strange look in his eyes.
During this period, Julia Roberts has reached the peak of her career, not only becoming a member of the $20 million club, but also getting an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Ryan also knows that her peak period is far from over. This year’s “Never Compromise” was released, and the global box office hit 257 million US dollars. With this film, she won the Oscar for Best Actress, becoming a recognized Hollywood actress. Box office guarantee.
With the announcement of the nominees for Best Actor, Harvey Weinstein’s premonition seemed to be fulfilled.
“American Beauty” star Kevin Spacey, unsurprisingly, was nominated for best actor, while “It’s Always Sunny” star Tobey Maguire came away empty-handed.
“Harvey, it’s okay.”
Lesser-Halstrom said comfortingly: “There are still nominations for best director and best picture below, and we still have a chance.”
Especially the best director nomination is crucial to him.
Harvey-Weinstein nodded reluctantly, but said nothing.
The nominees for Best Director are, “Sam Mendes, “American Beauty,” Spike Jonze, “Life of a Puppet,” Lasse Hallstrom, “It’s Always Sunny,” Michael Mann, “The Insider,” Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.”
“It’s great.” Lesser-Halstrom stood up excitedly, and hugged his companion tightly.
He finally got his wish and was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director.
However, Harvey Weinstein frowned. If there is always a sun to win the best director award, it must go through a fierce competition with DreamWorks.
“Lassey, well done.” Harvey Weinstein stood up anyway, and hugged Lasse Hallstrom.
Anyway, “There’s Always a Sun” has finally been nominated for a major award.
On the dining table of the crew of “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”, Li Anteng stood up suddenly, and couldn’t believe his ears.
He was nominated for an Oscar for Best Director!
Maybe it can really hit the Oscar for Best Director.
All of a sudden, everyone in the production team expressed their congratulations, and Li An’s expression became dazed, and he was not too excited.
He knows that Orion Films’ public relations focus is not on the best director, and the chances of winning the Oscar for Best Director with a Chinese film are very slim.
Of course, even if he can’t win an award, he can be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, and he is enough to be included in the history of Oscars and Chinese films.
At this time, Ryan stood up and hugged Li An, “Li, there is another chance next time.”
Li An immediately calmed down a lot, and nodded vigorously, as a kind of promise.
Ryan didn’t just talk casually, but really had this plan.
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” is not suitable for publicizing the Oscar for Best Director.
On the contrary, “Brokeback Mountain” directed by Ang Lee in his previous life not only became the first Asian director to win the Oscar for Best Director, but the film also earned close to 200 million US dollars in box office worldwide.
The announcement of the nominations for the best director ended, and the host paused for a moment before announcing the last nominations for the luncheon.
Best Picture nominees are ~www.mtlnovel.com~American Beauty, Insider, There’s Always a Sunshine, and The Green Mile. “
The host looked down at the list, “And “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon”!”
“Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” not only won the best foreign language film nomination and best director nomination, but also received the best film nomination in the end.
Ang Lee clearly showed disbelief on his face. This is an Oscar nomination for best picture. To some extent, it is more meaningful than the nomination for best director.
The best director award nomination is only the director’s personal honor, while the best film is the honor of the entire crew and even Chinese-language films.
Looking at Ang Lee who hesitated to speak, Ryan shook his head lightly and said, “We’ll talk about it after the nomination luncheon is over.”
Li An nodded, it is indeed not suitable to talk about this right now.
