Chapter 650

The elegant James Franco strides onto the stage and stands in front of the microphone, showing a charming smile. He is absolutely a handsome guy.

"The five actors competing for the best supporting actress have very different voice styles. However, four of them are first selected for the Oscars, and they all have indelible talents."

James Franco turned slightly, looked at the big screen behind him and said, "the best supporting actress shortlisted are: Beyonce beckew - the artist, Jessica chastan - help, Octavia Spencer - help, Melissa McCarthy - bridesmaid, Margot Robbie - Diego Ross."

Murphy looked at Margot Robbie. She was holding Gail gado's hand tightly. She was very nervous.

For an actress born after 1990s, if she can get a best supporting actress award at this age, her career will certainly take a big step forward.

Originally, Murphy was not optimistic about the award of Margot Robbie, but the Academy found James Franco to present the award instead of the one who won the best supporting actor in the last term. There must be a reason. Would it be out of the relationship of the winner?

"The Oscar winner is..." James Franco opened the envelope and read out the answer, "Octavia Spencer help!"

The theater was quiet for a second, then there was a burst of applause.

Margot Robbie breathed out, but he was not particularly disappointed because he had been psychologically prepared before, as Gail gado next to him clapped.

Seeing the award-winning older black women go to the stage, Murphy can only secretly sigh that the Oscar is still the Oscar, always so politically correct, always so respectful.

If you're right, Octavia Spencer is the oldest of all the best supporting actress nominees. If you think about the nickname of the best supporting actress award, isn't she the one who won the most?

Oscar's best supporting actor and actress award has another name - the elderly comfort award!

Octavia Spencer is old enough to be black

Losing the best supporting actress who was not in the plan, the "Diego rose" crew seemed to be possessed by bad luck. In the next few awards, they lost the best makeup and best art direction, both of which were lost to Martin Scorsese's Hugo.

Then came the best original screenplay award.

Angelina Jolie stood on the stage and announced loudly, "the one who won the best original script is Michael Hazanavicius: "the artist!"

As soon as the result came out, the cast of "the artist" was full of excitement. They had already won the best score and the best sound editing. With the award for the best original script, the number of golden men they took away reached three!

Murphy noticed that Harvey Weinstein looked this way again. After all, he was nominated for best original screenplay for "Diego Ross" and now he's directly ahead of him in this award. The fat Jewish man's eyes are obviously a little smug.

However, compared with the people around him, Murphy seems very calm. He directly meets Harvey Weinstein's eyes, fearless and yielding. Even if he loses this term, he can make a comeback later. Even with age, he can make Harvey Weinstein die!

Harvey Weinstein took the initiative to look away. He didn't have to compare his sharp eyes with a loser. Now the ratio of "artist" crew and "Diego Ross" golden man is three to one. Murphy Stanton has lost three nominations except for winning an award at the beginning.

"It seems that the college is ready to run with him again." Bob Weinstein, next to him, whispered, "so give Diego Ross the best photography as a comfort."

Harvey Weinstein nodded his big head. "It's very possible."

The award ceremony is still going on. In the discussion area of the Internet, many people are complaining. On the one hand, they are dissatisfied with the fact that Murphy's crew has not won the award again. On the other hand, the award ceremony has become the old tune and boring.

"After the first 15 minutes, except for Billy Crystal's jokes, it was boring."

"It's both politically correct and comforting the elderly. Is there any mistake? This is the most important film award in Hollywood, not the Association for respecting and loving the elderly!"

"Every year, the college says that it changes, but it always changes like that. It's always nostalgic. Who can remember those old movies?"

Seeing this, Daisy thought about it and wrote in the discussion area, "another reason is that the films nominated are so strange, Hugo, posterity, tree of life, artist How many have you seen? "

There was a lot of response.

"I haven't seen any of them, so I'm not interested in the awards."

"I've seen posterity, but I left before I finished. It's really boring."

"Yes, I've seen it too. It's slower than Diego Ross."Daisy to these people analysis, "you have not seen the film, do not think how good these films, naturally, they won't be interested in winning, it will be boring."

If it wasn't for Murphy, she wouldn't be here watching the Oscars.

In the Dolby theater, awards are awarded one after another, and films such as "posterity", "the girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "midnight Paris" all have their own gains, but Oscar ratings are declining.

It's undeniable that apart from the jokes, Oscar likes nostalgia most, which is in line with the appetite of the core members of the Academy. Every Academy Awards ceremony is always full of nostalgia for a long time.

For the audience who are not too old, the nostalgic plot is always tasteless.

Nielsen statistics has been monitoring the audience rating of this year's Oscars ceremony. When Sean Connery stepped onto the stage, the big screen and TV screen turned to black and white, and the awards ceremony was nostalgic again, a person in charge of Nielsen kept reporting the audience rating.

"The number of viewers in North America has dropped from 35 million just now to 31 million..."

After a minute, the program of remembering the golden age is still playing for a long time, and the person in charge says, "now it's 29 million!"

Every minute, he will report the number of viewers. The number proves that the old period is really not very popular. He can be called the killer of ratings. "28 million, 27 million, 26.5 million, 26 million, almost breaking through the lowest number of Oscar viewers in the last decade!"

Fortunately, the program of remembering the golden age ended after more than five minutes, and then the best supporting actor slowly pulled up the audience rating.

Obviously, the college is not stupid. It is clear that the audience does not like this type of program. It has specially arranged to save the show with the best supporting actor award. At the same time, it also shows the stubborn and conservative side of the college. Even though it knows that nostalgia is not popular, it still stubbornly puts this type of program in the award ceremony, which takes more than five minutes.

At the moment when the white haired Christopher Plummer won the best supporting actor award with beginner, which most people have never heard of, the audience of the Oscar ceremony finally returned to more than 30 million.

This can be said to be a very serious situation for the Oscars in the new century. With the flow of information and the increase of entertainment methods, the audience rating of the award ceremony has been declining, even reaching a new low since the 1970s.

In fact, it's not difficult to save the audience rating of the Oscars. Choosing a movie with a wider audience can easily solve this problem. For example, since the 1990s, the 70th Oscars have the highest audience rating, and Titanic has easily raised the audience rating of the whole awards ceremony.

It's just that what the college has done, most of the time, runs counter to the ordinary audience.

Although a best supporting actor has dragged the audience back to more than 30 million, he is unable to take it to a higher level. The task of saving the audience rating of this year's Oscars is by no means what a movie like beginner, whose audience number may not reach one million, can undertake.

When it comes to the audience and box office, although the box office of "Diego Ross" is less than 60 million US dollars in North America, it is enough to be superior to all the films nominated for best picture.

after the following advertising time, the person in charge of Nielsen Company was even more surprised to find that the audience rating of the award ceremony did not decline, but began to rise, even close to 35 Million pass!

"The next prize is best editing." "Murphy Stanton is nominated," his deputy warned

The person in charge suddenly woke up, "no wonder the audience rating keeps rising. It turns out that the most outstanding young director in Hollywood in the 21st century may be winning the prize!"

In the Dolby theater, Murphy sees his own people on the stage again, and Seth Logan shakes to the microphone.

"The famous Hollywood director Radley Scott once said that the cooperation between film editors and directors is like a marriage."

People in Stanton party seem to have learned some of Murphy's characteristics. Seth Logan doesn't have any nonsense. He directly talks about the string prepared by the organizer, "just like marriage, they huddle in a dark hut without windows, sharing takeout and enjoying other people's little movies."

He obviously made a little joke, and there was a lot of laughter under the stage.

It has to be said that this fat man looks simple and honest, but his talent of creating happiness is really different.

Saigen said, "I'm joking with the little clip that won the best screen..."

On the big screen, clips of the nominated film, "Michael Hazanavicius - the artist," began to play

After hearing the name, Murphy remembered that "the artist" is the same as himself, both director and editor.

The voices on the stage continued, "Selma scommeck - Hugo, Murphy Stanton - Diego Ross..."
