Chapter 1003 Three consecutive championships
The best actor, Tom Cruise, fell in love with the best actor, which is in line with the predictions of mainstream public opinion before the award ceremony. It is not only not unpopular, but can be said to be the inevitable result of the popular award.
Seeing Tom Cruise walking into the backstage of the Kodak Theater with the Little Golden Man in his hand, Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio were somewhat unwilling to give up. Even Tom Cruise won the award. When will they meet that Little Golden Man?
Someone was shaking his head. Oscars are really becoming less and less reliable. Even Tom Cruise can win the Best Actor, and the award rules are becoming increasingly difficult to understand.
Only Ronan knows that the rules for the Oscars in the future will be a mess. The quality of the film and the performance of the actors have even become marginalized, which is not as good as this era of winning public relations.
After the Best Actor, the Best Actress Award arrives.
There are no upsets in this year's Oscars, and popular candidates have won awards one after another, so there is no suspense at all.
The results announced by Philip Hoffman last year were nothing unexpected: "The winner of Best Actress is Helen Mirren, "The Queen."
Amid warm applause, Helen Mirren, who dared to strip naked on the big screen even when she was sixty years old, walked onto the Oscar stage and won the first Oscar in her life.
This new Oscar winner is also an outlier among actresses. No matter how she took off her youth, she could not really become famous. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is young and is popular only when she is old.
Helen Mirren is also a representative of the return of old age.
This award for Best Actress also made Harvey Weinstein officially announce his return to the Oscar game after several years of silence due to Disney infighting.
Then, there is an award that is highly anticipated.
Perhaps Allen DeGeneres also knew what the biggest highlight was tonight, and he didn't say a word of nonsense. He said a few words in a routine manner and then gave up the stage.
Then, the award presenters of the Best Director came on stage, and the Kodak Theater was silent in an instant, and then there were again discussions.
The main camera lens was transferred to Martin Scorsese at the right time, and most of the guests in the front row also looked at the relativity entertainment area where Martin Scorsese was located.
There were never a break from the discussion, surprise, and even whistles and screams.
Because, the three award presenters on the stage are really extraordinary!
The three people came to the microphone and lined up horizontally, namely Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Coppola.
What will happen to you when you see these three great directors? The best director is really no suspense.
Perhaps the Film Academy also realized that a single award presenter was not enough to present Martin Scorsese, so they invited Steven Spielberg, George Lucas and Francis Coppola.
Back then, Martin Scorsese and these three were collectively known as the "Four Young Directors" and later tied for the four major directors in the 1980s. If they could meet on the stage of the Kodak Theater in Los Angeles, it would be very interesting!
In order to increase the attractiveness of the Oscars and get rid of the dilemma of the decline in ratings year by year, the Academy has put a lot of effort into getting rid of the dilemma of declining ratings.
There is no suspense about this award. The noise gradually subsided and the applause suddenly rang out. Isn’t it just this moment tonight?
To be honest, this is more like a lifetime achievement award than a best director award.
In fact, this is not so much a recognition of Martin Scorsese's "The Walker" directed by Insularity, but rather a reward for his decades of outstanding directorial career!
Among them, there are also some counterattacks from the Hollywood film industry against the European film industry.
Last year, the Embassy Films promoted "The Walker" to participate in the competition unit at the Cannes Film Festival, but won nothing. At the press conference after the award ceremony, European media led by France's "Le Figaro" publicly questioned Martin Scorsese in an interview - did the director who had filmed "Good Guy", "Taxi Driver" and "Angry Bull" really sell himself to Hollywood?
And Martin Scorsese answered in a decisive tone - I am an American director, I am a Hollywood director!
Even when European media questioned the Oscars on the spot, he said - I have watched every Oscar ceremony on TV since I was a child, and he grew up with me. This thing does have indescribable magic to me!
His words are full of maintenance of Hollywood, Oscars and American films. With his current status in the film industry, the Academy also needs to give him a grand ceremony to award him a grand medal.
"Today the three of us stood on the stage." Francis Coppola said first on the stage: "It's because we all know the excitement when we won the best director."
"That was the most magnificent moment of my life." Spielberg continued.
"Wait..." George Lucas looked at the two people separately: "I have never won this award."
A burst of laughter broke out in the theater, and Spielberg said in a laugh, "What are you doing here?"
"I don't know." George Lucas gradually brought the topic to the award, "but I think the harvest is worse than giving."
"That's strange!" Spielberg and Frances Coppola said at the same time.
"There is the list of best director nominations." The three ended the small talk show, "Agado Gonzalez Inarido, "Tower of the Sky", Martin Scorsese, "The Walker of the Insular", Clint Eastwood, "Letter from Iwo Isle", Stephen Fryers, "Queen", Jonathan Dayton, "The Little Beauty of the Sun."
"The winner is..." Spielberg opened the envelope, and the answer was not suspense; "Martin Scorsese, "The Walker of the Insular"!"
Only he himself understood what Martin Scorsese felt at this moment, and the audience and guests who stood up gave warm applause.
Old Martin hugged everyone in the crew, including Ronan, and then walked onto the stage. He hugged his old friends Joe Lucas, Steven Spielberg and Francis Coppola in turn, took the Oscar Little Golden Man handed over by George Lucas, and stood in front of the microphone.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you..."
A long list of thanks jumped out of his mouth. This director, who always missed the best Oscar director, finally realized his Oscar dream with a gangster film that was highly rated in North America.
"Can you check the envelope again? Did I really win the award? I mean, I can't control myself after I won the award given to me by the college, and it was the honor given to me by my old friends! We have been in a relationship for 37 years. I'm so moved, so moved."
"Thank you to the Academy, thank you Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment, and also to the actors and staff who worked with me..."
After a long list of thank you, Martin Scorsese seemed to have a summary of the years. "I also want to say thank you to the people who have been blessing me over the years. There are many strangers here. You know, in the past, when I walked on the street, people would talk to me. When I walked into a doctor's office, or somewhere, I would encounter this situation."
"They said, 'You deserve an Oscar.' I went to take an X-ray and the doctor said to me, 'You deserve an Oscar.' I said 'Thank you'. My friends who have been with me for many years, and many of the friends who came to the scene tonight, wish me the award, and my family is the same. I thank you. This moment is for you."
The Kodak Theater has stood up, and everyone has given their applause. Martin Scorsese is also worthy of the applause at this moment.
The biggest highlight is revealed and the last award is also here.
Tom Hanks walked onto the stage alone and said: "It is incredible to be able to stand in the place where the Queen of England has just stood. It will be an unforgettable memory to witness Martin Scorsese winning the Oscar-Best Director Little Golden Man."
He looked at the big screen behind: "Let's review the list of best video nominations..."
"The Tower of the Sky, Jon Zilik and Steve Goring; The Walker, Ronan Anderson and Martin Scorsese; The Letters from Iwo Jima, Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg; The Little Sunshine Beauty, Way Frendley and Peter Salav; The Queen, Andy Harris and Christine Langan."
"The winner is..." Tom Hanks opened the envelope and glanced at it: ""The Walker of the Insular"!"
This answer is too suspenseful, and Ronan invites everyone in the crew to come on stage together.
The Kodak Theater once again thundered applause, and Martin Scorsese and "The Walker" became the biggest winners tonight.
Martin Scorsese returned to the stage, and Ronan also brought the crew to the stage, and then took over the Best Picture Little Golden Man from Tom Hanks.
Because he had just said his award, Martin Scorsese took the initiative to let him go, and Ronan came to the microphone and said in a very concise manner: "Thank you, thank you, thank you to the college, thank everyone in crew, thank you to everyone in Relativity Entertainment. This award is the best reward for our efforts in the past year."
This is already the best film won three consecutive times at the Oscars ceremony.
"Crash", "Brokeback Mountain", and tonight's "Walker" have been awarded for the past three Academy Awards, and the winners of the Best Picture are all relativity entertainment.
This also set the record of the three consecutive Best Pictures in DreamWorks in previous years.
This night, Martin Scorsese was the biggest legend, and Relativity Entertainment was the biggest winner. Oscar gave "The Walker" five Little Golden Man, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Editing, Best Actor and Best Adapted Screenplay.
