Chapter 664: Unexpected Guest of Honor
"The one who won the best supporting actress is... Cate Blanchett, "The Aviator"!"
Amid the applause, Cate Blanchett, wearing a goose yellow one-shoulder evening dress, walked onto the stage, took over the Little Golden Man, stood at the front of the arc stage, and delivered her acceptance speech to the microphone.
"Thank you, thank you, director Martin Scorsese, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, Ryan and Nicole, they helped me on the Hollywood stage, and Leon, you are a good partner. It's a great honor to be the director of Katherine Hepburn, thank you, Hepburn, her spirit has been inspiring me during the filming."
"The Aviator", a biography of legend Howard Hughes, is undoubtedly the biggest winner so far. Before Cate Blanchett won the Best Supporting Actress, he easily took away the four-seat Little Golden Man, best photography, best editing, best art directing and best costume design.
As for "Argo", he has not won the whole thing so far, and he is just a character who is running around.
Fortunately, there are still some gains in the films under Disney name. "Superman Family" won the best original song, best sound editing and best animated feature film, and "Spider-Man 2" won the best visual effect.
"Kate has won the Oscar, too." Taylor clapped and said as he stood up, "Where is your next Oscar?"
"Dear, patience is a virtue."
Sit back into the chair, Ryan shrugged and whispered, "Maybe it's going tonight."
"Best picture is not a personal award." Taylor wrinkled his nose, "According to my speculation, "Argo will probably only win the best picture."
Taylor's speculation is not unreasonable, Disney's PR direction is also the best film.
"It's Drew."
After the best original script, Drew Barrymore walked onto the stage, and Taylor pinched his pointed chin. "Will you win this award?"
"Who knows."
While they were talking, Drew on the stage had already introduced the nomination list in conjunction with the screen on the big screen and opened the envelope in his hand. "The winners of the best adaptation script are Alexander Payne and Jim Taylor, "Glass of Wine Life"!"
The result was as expected by Ryan. Since "Titanic", the script awards have basically been insulated from him, which may be the result of basically commercializing his later scripts.
"It may be a good thing to lose it." George Clooney suddenly comforted, "There may be greater if you win the best actor in this way."
"George, do you think I can win the best actor?" Ryan looked over there, and George Clooney laughed.
Neither of them are just entering Hollywood. Without full-time public relations, there is almost no hope for Best Actor and Best Director.
The biggest hit in this year is Jamie Fox. Although his performance in "The King of Souls" is not better than Ryan, his skin color has a natural advantage, and in the public opinion of mainstream media in advance.
Moreover, the award ceremony set the tone for this call at the beginning. Morgan Freeman won the first Little Golden Man at this Academy Awards ceremony - the Best Supporting Actor!
Faced with this situation, the people in the audience can only say that this is the Oscar, and there are too many factors that affect the award.
Most of the time, skin color is a barrier to winning awards, such as after "Heroes". "Ten Faces" returned empty-handed again.
But in rare cases, skin color will become a helping force, such as North America needs to unite minorities and show freedom and equality to the world...
The last time a black man won the Best Actor was in the 1970s. The last time that the 911 generation was joined by Ryan and DreamWorks, completely shattering the black man's dream of reaching the top again. The Best Actor and Actress was replaced by George Washington and Harry Berry in his previous life for Russell Clow and Charlize Theron.
Now, there is another black actor who won the Best Actor nomination for Best Actor with a performance that is at least not inferior to other nominees. The Academy will definitely give priority to them.
Ryan doesn't care. Anyway, there are still many opportunities to win awards in the future, but Leonardo DiCaprio's face is not good-looking.
When Jamie Fox waved the Little Golden Man to give his award speech, Ryan glanced at Leon not far away, and he seemed very upset.
Jamie Fox on the stage said a very long speech on the winning award, and also used a lot of black slang. Many people below the stage could hear it for no reason. Ryan had very little contact with this group and did not understand the specific meaning at all.
"Do you need me to explain it for you?" Taylor seemed to see this.
"You will understand?" Ryan was very surprised.
"There is a black man in my backing song." Taylor's eyes drew back from the stage, "sometimes she would mention some slang."
"never mind."
Shaking his head, Ryan was not interested in these things at all.
This Oscar is just like last year, with almost no suspense. Hillary Swank took over the Best Actress Little Golden Man from Sean Pan with the female boxer in "Million Dollar Baby" and became the Oscar winner for the second time.
Unfortunately, just like she became the best actress for the first time, this little golden man probably won't bring her much actual benefits.
The award ceremony reached the end. After Billy Christo talked a lot, Peter Jackson stepped onto the stage. Today, the fat man in New Zealand has successfully lost weight. It seems to be at least fifty pounds lighter than when he won the best director last year, and his career is also smooth sailing for the time being.
In the "King Kong" contract signed by Universal Pictures and Peter Jackson, a team composed of him, his screenwriter's wife and another producer, can get a total of 20% of the global box office of the film. If calculated based on the box office of this film in his previous life, the reward will exceed 100 million US dollars.
You know, according to the contract signed by Jenkins Pictures and Peter Jackson, he only received more than $15 million in films after the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
Of course, Ryan will not be as futile as the new line. Even this little money will be delayed indefinitely and want to pay back the debt.
In his previous life, Peter Jackson almost went to court to ask for $13 million in director's compensation.
Just as Ryan was thinking about it, Peter Jackson cooperated with the big screen to read out the list of best director nominations, "Martin Scorsese "The Aviator", Clint Eastwood "Million Dollar Baby", George Clooney "Argo", Alexander Payne "Glass of Wine" and Michael Lee "Villa Drake."
Most people's eyes fell on Martin Scorsese and Clint Eastwood on the big screen. There is no doubt that the best director will definitely emerge from the two.
Before the awards ceremony, many media said that Oscar owed Martin Scorsese a best director, but in terms of public relations, Clint Eastwood did a better job, so the result was not surprising.
"Clint Eastwood "Million Dollar Baby." Peter Jackson announced his final answer, "Congratulations to Clint Eastwood."
The old cowboy smiled extremely brightly, and Old Martin held his glasses, not knowing what he was thinking.
Perhaps Martin Scorsese is considering what movie should he use to hit the Oscars?
This is Ryan's idea. Oscar's favorite biopics have failed. Returning to the best gangster movie is the right way.
He has bought the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs" long ago. Perhaps it is a good choice to resell it to Old Martin? You can also earn a difference from it...
Although in his previous life, the movie "The Walker of the Stroke" was criticized by many people, including Ryan, after his experience in this life, he naturally understood that this was a movie for American audiences. Martin Scorsese's first choice was to consider the North American market and the taste of the Oscars. If he was filmed according to the original version, there would be no second result except for the failure.
Culture, race, region, etc. are all very realistic obstacles.
The award ceremony has come to an end, and there is no upset in front. Will it appear later? "Argo" has not won a little golden man so far, and it seems that he is just waiting for this moment.
Then, a scene of surprise appeared, and there were no award presenters on the stage. The person responsible for presenting the award came from the White House - Barbara Bush, who presented the best video of tonight through video links!
All the suspense has disappeared. Are there any other options besides a movie with a distinctly political color like "Argo"?
This is also the Oscars and political correctness is also the prerequisite for winning the award. Fahrenheit 911 caused such a big sensation, but there was not even a single nomination.
"The best film is "Argo", congratulations to Ryan Jenkins and George Clooney!"
Ryan and George Clooney celebrated with high fives, but they were not very excited. Firstly, this was expected, and secondly, the award presenter was just like her husband, and was really unpopular.
Just like last year, everyone in the crew was invited to the stage by Ryan, and everyone hugged and celebrated. No matter what, winning the best film is a victory for the entire crew.
After George Clooney delivered his award speech, Ryan stood in front of the microphone, and his words were more like routine.
"I know what you are thinking - Ryan, why are you standing here again? Well, thank you for your choice, it's a great honor. I have hundreds of people who need to thank you, so I won't thank you here. I will thank you one by one when I have time next week."
