Legendary Hollywood Producer - Chapter 162

As an African-American, Chris Rock hosted an Oscar party for the first time.

He first warmed up the field with the topic of racial discrimination, and was supplemented by ridiculing Leonardo DiCaprio’s embarrassment that he had been running with Oscar to kick off the seventy-seventh Oscar ceremony-he Boldly predicting that Leonardo DiCaprio’s handsome performance in “Aviator” will once again lead the audience.

Leonardo DiCaprio’s face turned dark when he heard this, and what was hidden underneath it was indeed his discomfort at the Oscars for many years.

In the slightly nervous atmosphere of the audience, the debut of the first award for Best Supporting Actress tonight announced that the party has officially entered the highlight.

This award, which was presented by Penelope Cruz as the guest of honor, was won by Cate Blanchett from the crew of The Aviator. Her delicate and capable performance in the film allowed this actress who made her debut in Australia and did not have a smooth acting career to win the first heavyweight award in her life.

Seeing the excitement on the stage, the voice began to tremble, so that it was a little incoherent, even Cate Blanchett, whose hands holding the acceptance speech were stiff, the atmosphere of truth and tension once again enveloped the audience.

This is not the Golden Globes where entertainment is the supremacy, nor is it a playful film critic award, but the Oscars, where countless film practitioners have spent their entire lives following a small golden figure.

Cate Blanchett did not have that advantage in this year’s Best Supporting Actress competition. It was Natalie Portman’s wonderful performance in “Stealing Heart” that appeared the most during the awards season, but in the end, She had the last laugh. It is estimated that she herself feels a little bit hit by happiness, so the excitement and excitement in her heart is not so strange. Winning the award with a cold attitude is indeed an Oscar.

There are not so many surprises in the subsequent awards, there is no suspense, and everything seems so calm.

In the technical awards, “Aviator” and “The Incredibles” staged a scene of “two people fighting”. If you take the best art direction, I will take the best sound editing; if you take the best makeup, I will Take the best visual effect. Anyway, there are 10 technical awards, and the two have won seven of them.

This also makes this period of time, the “Aviator” and “The Incredibles” drama composed of the busiest group of people at the Kodak Theater tonight.

Later, the suspense and tension returned to the scene, and the awarding of the best original script began.

This year’s nomination list includes “Rwanda Hotel”, “The Incredibles”, “Vila Drake”, “Eternal Sunshine of Pure Heart” and “Aviator”.

But “The Aviator” and “The Incredibles” are not dominant in this regard, because of the subject matter.

The real showdown is still in the remaining three films. “The Eternal Sunshine of the Pure Heart” and “Rwanda Hotel” were both well received before the awards season, and “Vila Drake” was the best foreign language film. A strong competitor.

However, in general, “Rwanda Hotel” and “Eternal Sunshine of Pure Heart” have greater advantages.

After Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon stood in front of the microphone as the award-giving guest and began to announce the winners, the two crews still felt very depressed.

“The winner of the best original screenplay is…”The Eternal Sunshine of the Pure Heart”.” Tim Robbins’ voice came out of the microphone, and the audience began to present to the winners. applause.

Those who are proud will naturally not lack the foil of those who are frustrated. “Rwanda Hotel” has nominated five items, but has not yet received an award.

On the other hand, nominated more “Aviator”, they have already won 5 of their eleven awards. Such a comparison is really uncomfortable.

However, Oscar has not only happened this time.

Wasn’t the Shawshank’s Redemption hit zero in ten? The Rwanda Hotel was not the worst.

Afterwards, various awards were awarded, and the excitement and disappointment continued to be staged on this occasion.

As the Spanish film “Deep Sea Sleeps” won the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, the climax of the entire evening will soon be staged: which work does the best film belong to.

Is “Aviator” continuing to dominate, or “Million Dollar Baby” irreversible win, or “Soul Singer”, which has been well received by film critics, won this honor.

Sean Penn and Gwyneth Paltrow two award-giving guests have already stood on the stage.

The big screen also began to show the titles and images of the 4 nominated films: “The Aviator”, directed by Martin Scorsese; “The King of Soulsong”, directed by Taylor Hackford; “Drinking Life” , Director Mike Lee; “Million Dollar Baby”, director Clint Eastwood.

Gwyneth Paltrow opened the envelope swiftly and watched with Sean Penn next to him. Then she said into the microphone: “The one who won the best film is…”Million Dollar Baby “.”

In an instant, enthusiastic cheers broke out in the crew area where “Million Dollar Baby” was located. With the enthusiastic support of the crew members, director Clint Eastwood walked onto the awards stage with a smile.

He took the golden figure symbolizing fame from Sean Penn, kissed it, and then calmly stood in front of the microphone, still holding a small piece of paper in his hand.

“Thanks to the judges of the academy.” Clint Eastwood is a very standard beginning of the award. “It is my honor to be recognized for “Million Dollar Baby”, and I also thank every member of the crew who contributed to it. It is the joint efforts of everyone to make this film honorable. Of course, I also want to thank Warner Pictures, it is their support that made this film.”

Finally he looked away from the note, and said with emotion: “Sidney Rumet won an Oscar at the age of 80. I think compared to him, my career as a director is still a child. …Finally, I want to thank my children, wife and other family members, thank you.”

There was thunderous applause from the audience.

Everyone expressed their lofty respect and admiration for this old filmmaker. Not everyone, like this tough “old cowboy”, has dedicated his life to the film industry.

This result failed to escape Roman’s expectations, “Million Dollar Baby” still won in the final competition.

Clint Eastwood also won the Oscar for Best Director after that.

None of these honors has changed.
