"It's true that we've captured twitter." Allen said with a smile, "we just received an email from twitter. We're about to crush the twitter server. We've made history." The whole audience applauded, "look, lanli, let's see what we have accomplished!"
Lanli shrugged his shoulders and put a smile on his mouth. His calm and confident attitude made the audience have a clear understanding: it seems that lanli is used to it.
"It's wonderful. We made history. It's really wonderful. " With a big smile on his face, Allen happily and easily stressed again, "we've done the most tweets in history. I think everyone here is a winner. Of course, I and lenley are the biggest winners
All the guests laughed again.
"I, er, I just borrowed Farrell's hat, and I thought, let's get together to buy a pizza, because just now everyone kept silent, and no one seemed to respond to my call..." Alan said and turned silently, and then the camera locked her and... Harvey Weinstein.
At this time, Harvey's mood has been calmed down, and his usual calm and composure has been restored again. He has been running the Oscar season for more than 20 years, and he has reason and confidence. He is still the dominant side. And now, he needs to show his atmosphere and enjoy the night. His eyes, which are narrowed into a slit, once again shine with the old fox's sophistication and cunning.
In the face of Allen's banter, this time, Harvey is at ease.
Harvey took the cash out of his pocket - during the advertising break, many assistants and managers showed up at the Dolby theater. Obviously, all the guests are ready.
Alan leaned out on purpose and looked at it seriously. "How much are you going to prepare?"
Harvey counted from a thick pile of banknotes and put them in Farrell's brown hat, "... Two hundred."
Allen was not satisfied, but after hearing the figures, he deliberately showed a reluctant look, "Oh, this is a starting price."
What's the starting price?
All the guests around chuckled.
Alan walked forward immediately. "John, just give me twenty. Twenty." John Travolta also took his wallet out of his pocket.
At this time, next to Kevin Spacey also stood up, Allen's eyes just staring at Kevin, and even began to count, "ten? Twenty? "
Kevin counted twenty dollars, pulled it out, and put the rest in his hat. "I'll just keep that."
Alan just showed a satisfied expression, "thank you." Then, Allen pulled out a hundred dollars from his hat, deliberately made a monkey look, flurried the notes into his pocket, the action was too funny, the laughter burst out.
Allen walked over one by one, teasing Brad Pitt, Chevalier egaford, Meryl Streep, and finally pointed to lenley, "Hey, gentleman, I'm still waiting for you. We'll talk about it later." After finishing the process, Allen said, "let's welcome Robert De Niro and Penelope Cruz."
Everyone knows that the award ceremony has entered the final stage, but before the tense moment, Allen enlivened the atmosphere with his unique humor and humor.
Robert De Niro and Penelope Cruz will present the screenwriting Department award.
The best adapted screenplay is the first one to appear!
Why is this award awarded first?
Because it's an award with relatively little suspense, and it's also an award with relatively weak competition - at least before the ceremony.
"Twelve years of slavery", "Philomena", "wolf of Wall Street", "drunken folk", "love before midnight".
Except for "love before midnight", all of the five nominated works have been nominated for best picture, but the overall focus is on "twelve years of slavery".
The overall momentum of "Philomena" and "drunken folk songs" is flat, and they fall behind early. Nomination is already the best award and affirmation“ "Wall Street wolf" is trapped in its own controversy, the whole award season has not been able to really open up the situation, the nomination can be regarded as a surprise.
"Love before midnight" is the biggest surprise in the nomination stage. This series of works lasted for 18 years and won high praise in the field of independent film. However, it has never been able to win more affirmation in the award season. This time, it was unexpectedly shortlisted for the Oscar, and many film critics gave praise one after another.
In other words, the advantage of "twelve years of slavery" is very obvious. Even in the first stage, "twelve years of slavery" is the most popular, and the strong college public relations in the second stage makes this work unique. It is almost difficult to find a positive opponent in the best adapted script department.
The only works that can slightly shake the "twelve years of slavery" may be the "drunken ballad" and "love before midnight" with certain explosive ability. These two works are the hearts of countless young writers and artists. In the case of the lack of competitiveness of other award departments, maybe the script department can win more support, but the impact is limited after all.
Therefore, this is one of the most stable departments in "twelve years of slavery".
But who knows, after the unveiling of the award ceremony, the situation has changed dramatically - now "twelve years of slavery" is still empty handed. Compared with "American scam", the only positive point is the best adapted screenplay department. But if... According to the development curve of "American scam" tonight, "twelve years of slavery" has also lost the best adapted screenplay award, Just like the best supporting actress, it will also directly announce that "twelve years of slavery" has withdrawn from the best picture competition.
In other words, the award with the least suspense has now become the last straw of "twelve years of slavery". They must win this little golden man to keep the suspense tonight.
Robert gave Penelope the chance to announce the result of the prize, and Penelope did not deliberately create suspense. After opening the envelope, he announced the answer, "John Ridley, 12 years of slavery."
Finally!
"Twelve years of slavery" finally won the prize, and the audience cheered and clapped; As if winning the best picture award, the members of the crew stood up and cheerfully agitated their hands. At this time, they were already in a cold sweat, and their high heart could finally be put back into their chest.
No matter what, they still keep a glimmer of hope. Although "gravity" is extremely strong tonight, they still keep the hope of impacting the ultimate prize. Every prize presented next may change the whole situation, and "twelve years of slavery" can still be completed!
Compared with the "American scam" which won the second stage but did not score, the "twelve years of slavery" which skillfully occupied the advantage in the "race card" still firmly grasped the fate of the throat.
Then came the best original script award!
"Blue Jasmine", "Dallas buyers club", "she", "Nebraska", "American scam".
The competition is even more intense than the best supporting actress award. All the five nominated works have reached the top. Except for "blue Jasmine", the other four are all nominated works for best picture. What's more interesting is that "blue Jasmine" is actually the most popular award winner of the Department.
In the whole award season this year, the best original script is always the most anxious and closest Award:
"She" has won numerous supporters with her unique and novel perspective, fascinating lines and structure. In the early stage of the major film festivals and Film Critics Association, has been a lot of favor.
"Dallas buyer's Club" and "Nebraska" have some similarities. They are also independent works with small cost, focus on a specific group, move the audience with delicate emotions, and win a lot of recognition in the inner changes and emotional flow of the characters, which also makes the two works win unanimous praise.
"American hoax" is a group of stars shining. It has its own uniqueness in the balance and scheduling of group play. The script writing technique of setting up the role in a few words is even more sophisticated, and the depth and width are worthy of affirmation.
"Blue Jasmine" is the work of Woody Allen. The conflict of drama and the excavation of human nature still have his usual black humor, and his lines are still the top one in the field of American film.
In the award season, five works are almost equal. Judging from the number of nominations and the number of awards, the difference between each other is really negligible. Each work has its own support group, and different weathervanes have chosen the works in line with their own direction. The whole award season presents a lively situation of letting a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend.
At present, "blue Jasmine" has a slight advantage, but "American scam" is the most vulnerable. However, it is also a normal result that the four best film shortlisted works complete the anti super by virtue of the advantage of the second stage of college public relations, because the advantage of "blue Jasmine" is very weak.
Although it is said that the best original screenplay award may not change the direction of the best film, unless the "American scam" is so cold, the academy still arranges it at the back, once again showing its recognition and encouragement for the original play.
Robert De Niro didn't procrastinate either. After opening the envelope, he announced the winning result directly, "spike Jones, she."
It's not an accident, it's more of a surprise.
In this year's award season, "she", who has repeatedly won praise like a clear stream, has always been the most recognized link in the script department. She has gone beyond the two works of "becoming John Malkovich" and "adapting the script", and has become the most popular work of spike Jones' career in the Academy. Now she has successfully won the Oscar, Let this young literary and artistic youth from the east coast of the United States also gain a little gold medal.
Now, there are only four awards left in the ceremony: best actor, best actress, best director, and best picture!
