Chapter 2330

Drums ring, lights light up, a beam of spotlights cast down, shrouded in Neil Patrick Harris, gathered the eyes of the world.

The more you stand in the center of the universe, the more you can feel the tremendous pressure that comes from all directions like a tide - the position of the host of the Oscar ceremony has never been easy, just like an Iron Throne full of thorns. Even if you sit down, you are doomed not to feel relaxed.

At this time, Neil is like this. Even though he has presided over the Emmy and Tony Awards, things are still not easy, or even more difficult.

"Welcome to the first picture, it pays homage to the classic" song in the rain ", and then" north by Northwest "... The series of classic movies, from lyrics to dance steps to projection, presents a colorful film world in a high-tech way, which is dazzling and amazing.

That's not all.

Imperceptibly, Anna Kendrick came on the stage as a Hindu ruira. Jack Black (Jack-Black) immediately make complaints about the fourth walls, blurred the boundaries between the audience and the performers, and unknowingly let the movie's shadow blend into the Dolby theatre.

Finally, the projection screen slowly rises, and the characters on the film screen come out from behind and join Neil. They introduce the nominees of the eight best films in series. The performance reaches a climax, and then the actors line up behind Neil, perfectly standing behind him, making all the singers and dancers behind him "invisible"; At the same time, Neil in the front puts on the classic posture of the little golden man trophy. On the slowly falling screen, the light reflects the outline of the little golden man trophy, which also draws a perfect end for Neil's opening performance.

The live broadcast turned around and aimed at the applause guests. The actors on the stage quickly walked out and the projection screen slowly rose. When the camera fell on Neil again, he was the only one left on the whole stage. It was like the noise and noise just now was just a moment in the movie, and the boundary between virtual and reality completely disappeared, The illusion and beauty of image dream making is once again amazing.

It must be admitted that Neil, as an excellent stage actor, has a deep foundation in singing and dancing, which is really brilliant. However, the tension of hosting the Oscar for the first time still constrains his hands and feet, lacking Billy Christo's humor and Hugh Jackman's personal charm. The whole aria is slightly conservative; What's more, Neil's cooperation with Anna and Jack makes the sense of rhythm very clear, which makes the "performance" stay at the level of performance and fails to let the audience really enter the world of light and shadow. This is undoubtedly a great pity.

After the performance, all the guests responded with applause and whistles, and opened the curtain in a lively way; However, careful observation can still find that the politeness is greater than the fanatical pursuit, and the emotions of the guests have not been fully mobilized, which can not be compared with those of their predecessors.

In fact, even compared with Neil's own highest level, there is still a gap. The audience should see Neil's performance in the Tony Awards and Emmy Awards to realize his real level.

After the one and only Neal's warm up, Neal chose Oprah Winfrey as a playful target. After that, he make complaints about his "The Smurfs 2" last year, which drew a conclusion for her opening performance. "Please have the best supporting actress last year, the unique Ryu Mara."

Let's start with a paragraph.

From a positive point of view, Neil interprets his own style and makes efforts within the conservative framework of the college. The only regret is that the lines are not mellow enough and the slogan of "falling in love with movies again" is just a slogan.

In any case, the most stressful opening phase ended smoothly.

Among the applause, Rooney appeared.

Rooney's step is a little slow, the applause has dropped, but she is still about five meters away from the microphone. She comes to the microphone with elegant demeanor and says coldly, "please forgive my skirt." A small joke, so that the scene sounded a gentle laugh.

Make complaints about dragonflies.

"Robin Williams, the best supporting actor winner, once said," God only gives you a little bit of craziness. Don't lose it. Tonight, we are going to celebrate this gift from God and the impeccable performance of the best supporting actor nominees, including... "

Rooney finished the show in the simplest and most direct way, and then five nominees appeared on the big screen.

JK Simmons of "pop drummer", "Ethan Hawke of his youth", "Edward Norton of Birdman", "Steve Carrell of fox Hunter" and mark rufaro.

Four works, five actors.

Among them, only "Fox Hunter" is absent from the best picture competition, and the other three works are also considered to be strong competitors for the best picture. This also means that the best supporting actor award will be the first battle for the ultimate award tonight, which is rare in recent years——

Excellent performance often comes from low-cost works, the overall strength is relatively weak, more often than not to participate in the fierce competition for best picture.

This year is an exception.

In the awarding season when there are no super topic works, the main competition seed players have a good performance in the performance level, which also makes the four major acting departments can see at least two or more best picture nominated works shortlisted. Naturally, the competition for awards of each acting department may affect the final trend of best picture, Even if the best supporting actor department is relatively lack of suspense, the tension still spreads quietly.

The competition is particularly fierce tonight:

Ethan Hawke and Edward Norton are both popular actors in the industry. They have worked hard in the independent film field for many years, and their fame and reputation are among the top; Mark rufaro is even more popular. Since 2010, almost every year, his works have been able to show up in the award season. His kind and pleasant image is also very popular in Hollywood; Not to mention Steve Carrell, who has top connections as a comedian.

Who to choose or not to choose is a painful decision for every college judge. From the reaction on the scene, we can see the tip of the iceberg: every actor's alternate screen is broadcast, and their friends can be found on the scene. Cheers, slogans and shouts rise and fall in the theater.

On the contrary, JK Simmons, a blue collar actor of unknown origin, seems that everyone has met, but no one can name him.

Simon's performance clip on the big screen is the match between Fletcher and Andrew. That is the bloody scene in which Fletcher slaps Andrew to beat. The tense and frightening atmosphere flows from the sound.

Then Simmons won the applause.
