Chapter 534: The Attribution of Awards
At last year's award ceremony, Steve Martin's words "We've slept too many people" caused a big storm. The Film Academy decisively gave up on him. Whoopi Gordonburg returned to the Oscar hosting stage, and seemed to be reopening the infinite reincarnation mode of Whoopi Gordonburg and Billy Christo.
When talking about the host's choice in the media, Laura Zekins, the director of this evening party, praised "Wubi with enough warmth, humor, human nature and social conscience. I think these qualities are essential at this year's evening party. I am looking forward to working with Wubi to present a night that is both entertaining and meaningful'.
And the appearance ceremony of Whoopi Gordonberg did play an amazing enough role.
"I would like to invite the host of the 74th Academy Awards and Academy Award winner Whoopi Gordon Castle!"
After the words fell, the stage was still empty, and the voice of Whoopi Gordon Castle suddenly came from the dome of the Kodak Theater.
"Come and chase me, young men! Come and chase me, young men..."
The sound is really not wonderful. Why is Sangqi talking about how to use Simba to make a lion sandwich?
Then, Nicole's most stunning scene in "The Moulin Rouge" is reproduced at the Kodak Theater, and Whoopi Gordon Castle descends from the sky in a swing in gorgeous feathers.
However, if Nicole is wearing a phoenix wing, then Whoopi Gordonburg is like wearing a turkey outfit.
The large screen shot also switched to Nicole in real time. Although she smiled brightly on the surface, Ryan saw that it was unnatural.
This is normal. No woman wants others to imitate one of her most beautiful images, let alone the funny way of Whoopi Gordonburg.
After kissing Russell Clow in a passionate way, Whoopi Gordonburg, who was walking down the swing, stood on the stage and started a routine joke. Compared to Steve Martin, her jokes were closer to the lower three ways, but they never touched the sensitive areas of Hollywood.
"Oscar is 74 years old. In Hollywood, no one has ever been stronger than Oscar. Even if he doesn't eat Viagra, he can last for more than three hours!"
After mourning 911, Whoopi Gordonburg's joke became much more serious. "The past year has been an incredible year. We were all hacked so badly. Some people's bank and insurance accounts were hacked. Even eating became a problem, and even the Oscar nomination list turned into black people."
"This negative activity should have stopped. I received an email today. After carefully opening it, it turned out to be Harry Potter became a racial discriminatory and was expelled from the Hogwarts Magic School..."
The camera turned to Ryan's side, and he laughed like others, which was also a way for the academy to correct his name and the little wizard.
"When it comes to swings. Before I was hung up by them, I asked the director if there were any safety measures? He said yes, Billy Christo is waiting in the backstage. You can play at any time."
After Whoopi Gordonburg stepped down, Benicio del Toro stepped onto the stage as an award presenter and presented the Best Supporting Actress. This award has nothing to do with Ryan's side. The winner is Jennifer Connery of "Beautiful Mind".
Her choice at the Oscar is extremely smart. Even if she wins the Oscar for Best Actress, it is not too difficult to get nominated for her role. However, facing several strong competitors, she settled on the second best supporting actress and successfully took away the little golden man.
This move is like pretending to be ugly, which is a common trick used by Hollywood movie stars. Using the protagonist's role to win supporting role awards will undoubtedly be greater.
Similarly, some people will do the opposite, such as Anthony Hopkins, whose appearance time in "The Silence of the Lambs" is at most a supporting role, but he successfully won the Best Actor, which is also recognized as the one who deserves it.
When Will Smith, who had a pair of wind-eyed ears, walked onto the stage, the best edited Little Golden Man fell on the head of "Black Hawk Down". This movie was born at the wrong time. Although it was a hit, the box office was far from expected.
The impact of the social environment on film is particularly obvious in it.
In addition, Ryan remembers that there was a so-called masterpiece in the Oscar in his previous life called editing. Unfortunately, it has not appeared in this life. There is no news about the director who was a cinema projectionist and it is likely that he will completely disappear in this life.
Jenkins Film also welcomed the first Little Golden Man tonight. Who else is more suitable to win the Best Makeup Award than "The Lord of the Rings"? Think about those fierce and powerful orcs.
Ryan couldn't help but think of the stunt actor who played the role of the witch king of Angma and the leader of the strong orc. He killed him more than a hundred times during the filming, which simply set a Guinness World Record.
And the Best Clothing Award is even more suspenseful. The gorgeous costume "Moldova" defeated all its opponents unexpectedly and won the first Little Golden Man tonight.
The appearance of Woody Allen can be regarded as a big surprise tonight. No matter what his personality and reputation are, it is well known that he does not attend various award ceremony. Now, as a representative of New York City, he stands on the Oscar stage to thank the post-911 post-Hollywood for giving New York all the best help.
No matter how rich this circle is, it has a natural sensitivity in terms of reaction speed and keeping up with the mainstream.
In terms of technical awards, "The Lord of the Rings" has huge advantages. It has successively won the best photography, best visual effects, best original soundtrack and other small golden men from the stage, and it was very popular for a moment.
However, Ryan and Peter Jackson both knew that the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" could only be rampant in technical awards, and the heavyweight awards would not be considered before the end of the trilogy.
The best supporting actor in the latter undoubtedly confirms this.
"Ethan Hawke's Training Day, Ben Kingsley's Sexy Beasts, Ian McLean's Lord of the Rings, Jim Braudbent's "The Road Is Going to End"..."
Guy Harden pronounced a relatively unfamiliar name, "Jim Browderbent, "The Long Road Is Almost Almost Always."
This veteran actor from the UK won the Best Supporting Actor.
And Ian McLean, who won numerous praises for Gandalf, once again hated the Oscars. Apart from the natural disadvantages of film genre and group dramas, the academy of this era will not let heavyweight awards fall on homosexuals.
Samuel Jackson, who came on stage next, aroused Ryan's interest slightly. This old black actor has already negotiated conditions with Marvel and signed a long-term contract to play a crucial role in the next Marvel series.
When Jennifer Lopez walked onto the stage, a not-so-obvious discussion came from below. How many times has this Latin diva been the guest of the awards for the Best Original Song?
With Ryan's memory, this is at least the third time in a row, and no wonder the guests and audiences are talking about it. This situation is extremely rare in Oscars, and it is difficult not to remind people of private transactions...
The famous Irish female singer Enya brought back the Little Golden Man for the crew of "The Lord of the Rings".
At this end of the award ceremony, "The Lord of the Rings" is undoubtedly the biggest winner. The only shame is that he won nothing in heavyweight awards, and even the best adapted script lost to DreamWorks' "Beautiful Mind".
In fact, most people know that the main theme of this award ceremony is still the competition between DreamWorks and Jenkins Films.
When John Williams directed the band to play the classic movie soundtracks in Hollywood history, the party reached the first** tonight, with familiar music such as "The Voice of Music", "General Patton", "Star Wars", "et Alien", and "Titanic". The organizing committee seemed to want to use this method to create a new era of Oscars with the Kodak Theater.
Unfortunately, only Ryan knew that the companies whose name and this theater didn't seem to end up being very good.
There was still some time before the four major awards were awarded. Ryan apologized to the people next to him and walked towards the bathroom. Compared with the previous two sessions, this session was like what Whoopi Gordonberg said, which was a bit too firm.
If it takes too long, it will definitely affect the ratings.
Thinking of this, Ryan returned to the theater, and legendary actress Barbara Streisand is awarding Robert Rayford the Oscar for Lifetime Honors.
Then, it was time for feminists to cheer, and with the strong appeal of these people, the Oscars rarely placed Best Actress behind Best Actor.
However, this will not help in improving the situation and status of Hollywood female stars.
As we all know, this is a circle full of patriarchal colors. The shelf life of female movie stars can often only reach around 30 years old. Major film companies are always developing fresher and younger and more beautiful bodies. The male actors are still popular in their forties, and even the shelf life can continue to last for more than ten years.
Of course, if you reach the level of Julia Roberts and Nicole Kidman, ordinary Hollywood rules will no longer apply.
Julia Roberts stood on the stage and showed her iconic smile to the camera and the audience. She was much calmer than last year.
"Let's see who was nominated for Best Actor..."
She started the introduction with the big screen, "Tom Wilkinson's "About Accidental Edge", Russell Clow's "Beautiful Mind", Sean Penn's "I Am Sam", Denzel Washington's "Training Day", Will Smith's "Boxing Ali""
