The best director award is the first one to appear!
In the final four awards, the least suspense is the best director award.
Alfonso Caron of gravity, Steve McQueen of twelve years of slavery, David O. Russell of American scam, Alexander Payne of Nebraska, Martin Scorsese of Wall Street wolf.
Among the five nominees, Alfonso Caron, in the "gravity", constructed a perfect viewing experience through the powerful control and application of image, sound and space, and showed unparalleled talent and talent in the position of director. In the whole award season, he can be said to be invincible.
Regardless of the ownership of the best film, the number one favorite of the best director is Alfonso Caron. People can criticize the weakness of the script and the lack of details, but they can't criticize the viewing effect created by Alfonso through his own lens, which proves once again that the film still belongs to the cinema!
The reason why "gravity" has a unique advantage in the technical department is that even "Captain Phillips" can't match it. The main reason is that Alfonso's scheduling and combination of various production technology links of the film has given full play to the potential and charm of film production technology, which is amazing.
For Alfonso Caron, the "technical house", gravity fully shows his understanding of the director's position. The other four directors have not been able to create more magical works on the technical or content level. In terms of "director", Alfonso is undoubtedly the number one player of the best director.
From the Golden Globe Award to the British Academy Award and then to the American directors' Union award, Alfonso swept all the way, led all the way, and sang all the way. Throughout the award season, Alfonso showed a strong posture of the number one favorite, and the best director award almost never left others.
What's more, looking at the overall trend of tonight's Oscars, "gravity" sweeps the technology awards, and all the momentum of the best director awards are further flowing towards this commercial masterpiece. The only suspense may be "twelve years of slavery".
By virtue of the "race card" in the second stage of continuous dominance of the "slave for 12 years", we fully have the ability to push Steve McQueen to the best director. The British director, who is famous in the independent film industry by virtue of "hunger" and "shame", has been absolutely recognized for his strength and reputation, His low-key and pragmatic personality also won him a lot of favor in Hollywood. Under the continuous operation of the college's public relations, Alfonso, who opened up the situation with absolute strength in the sprint stage, is unlikely, but not impossible.
Just after winning the best adapted screenplay award, "twelve years of slavery" wants to further squeeze the advantage of "gravity" in the best picture competition, so every award must go all out. In other words, they need to give confidence and expectation to each award department, and then rush to the final prize.
So, is absolute strength the winner? Or is the school winning in public relations? In the Oscar game, who can predict?
Angelina Jolie and Sidney Poitier joined hands as prize winners——
In 1964, Sidney Pottier won the best actor Oscar for his outstanding performance of "lilies of the field", and became the first black actor to ascend to the throne of film king in history; It's 2014, the 50th anniversary of Sidney Poitier's history. It's definitely a special year to commemorate.
The Academy specially invited Sidney Pottier as the guest of honor, and Angelina Jolie is also the winner of this year's Oscar humanitarian award, which also shows the importance of the best director award.
Sidney Pottier, who is 87 years old, appeared on the stage with the help of Angelina. His spirit is still hale and hearty, but his pace is extremely slow. We can clearly see the traces of time. The whole audience stood up and gave the actor thunderous applause.
Unexpectedly, the suspense dragged on the elder——
Because Sidney is eighty-seven years old, his action is very slow. He slowly opens the envelope and slowly pulls out the card. The whole action takes at least five seconds. In the close-up of the camera, the smiles of the five nominees are as stiff as five centuries.
Especially Steve McQueen. It's not that his mentality has changed, but that the camera's close-up magnifies all emotions to the extreme, and that sense of expectation and tension begins to multiply——
After twelve years of slavery, after all the repression, can the best adapted screenplay award be the beginning of the explosion? If he can, he will win his first Oscar! Just imagine in my mind, the blood began to boil up, and then Sidney unintentionally elongated the disclosure process, he became more and more nervous, more and more nervous, and his facial muscles were slightly distorted.
On the contrary, Alfonso Caron was more calm - but only relatively speaking, his mind was very relaxed, but after such a delay, his relaxed mood became tense slowly, and he began to fidget inexplicably. He adjusted his sitting posture unconsciously.
Finally he pulled out the envelope. Sydney's presbyopia couldn't see the handwriting clearly. He took the card and looked left and right. It seemed that he was looking for the best angle.
Not to mention the nominees, even the other guests began to feel anxious and nervous. The dry and hot feeling is slowly warming up, the air is almost condensing, and the tense mood is climbing gradually, making people breathless. However, the whole audience can not urge Sidney - because everyone will face the same problem after they are 87 years old, which is not Sidney's original intention.
The suspense is so long that there is no gag to ease the atmosphere, so that the tension reaches its peak and then begins to decline, just like a spring.
Angelina is always waiting patiently. After observing Sidney carefully, she also realizes that Sidney may need presbyopic glasses to help her see the handwriting, and they all forget to prepare in advance. So she politely says, "is this up to me?"
Sidney immediately nodded, "OK!"
Angelina took the card, looked down to read it, and then said, "Alfonso Caron, gravity."
No suspense!
Alfonso Caron has won the Oscar and won the eighth golden man trophy for the "gravity" crew tonight. It is also the first golden man trophy in his personal history, pushing the "gravity" competition for best picture to a new height——
"Slave 12 years" want to challenge "gravity", then you must win the best actor award, otherwise... Difficult to ascend the sky. Things are getting exciting!
Alfonso still showed a slightly surprised expression, followed by a smile blooming, did not hide his happiness, wantonly showed his happiness and joy, and then warmly hugged his wife, surrounded by the cheers and applause of the guests, boarded the dance stage.
After stepping on the stage, Alfonso was a little embarrassed. He expressed his thanks in nonstandard English, including the Academy, the crew and his family. Then he showed a little humor. "Fortunately, we won this trophy, otherwise it would be hard for so many staff to follow me and spend so much time with me. For them, In addition to contributing wisdom, the color of hair has also changed
Looking at Alfonso's gray hair, the audience laughed one after another.
"I need to thank Langley hall. You are gravity." In the applause, Alfonso looked at the first row of blue Li, and the camera also aimed at blue Li.
"You are the core and passion of the whole movie. Thank you for your trust. When I went to the west end to find you, you were willing to slow down, listen to my plan quietly, and participate in this journey boldly and adventurously. This is undoubtedly the most important turning point of the whole crew. Your performance makes everything possible, otherwise it's just empty shelf. You made me realize what a good actor can change. "
Instead of answering, Lan Li gave Alfonso applause with a smile. Any excellent work is the result of the coordination and cooperation of all aspects. Alfonso's talent is the most important contributor of gravity.
"I still remember that on the first day of the cast, you stayed in the equipment for several hours for the sake of the role, and finally you were dehydrated and almost fainted. This professionalism..." Alfonso said with emotion, choking slightly, as if recalling the difficulties and hardships during the shooting, as well as the full dedication of the actors, His excitement also infected the audience, and the applause rang out again, paying homage to the blue gift!
"You've earned the respect of everyone in the crew!" Alfonso said sincerely, "at the same time, I also need to thank Rooney Mara for your dedication and input. Even if it's not a heavy role, you are still unreservedly involved. It's an honor for the whole crew to have you."
After that, there was a series of Warner Bros. producer lists. After all of them were given thanks one by one, Alfonso officially ended his acceptance speech.
Then Allen appeared on the stage again, smiling and saying, "we did it! We're done! Now it's over. Thank you for making me your host. I hope you are as happy as me. "
Wait. What?
The guests on the scene have been confused: is this the end? What's going on?
Alan looked back at the sideboard. "What? No, Isn't that the end? Oh, are there any awards yet to be awarded? Well, I'll see you after the advertisement. " She also stressed in the direction of Langley, "yes, advertising."
