"Whew, am I the only one to feel the heat wave? I'm starting to miss my bathrobe. " When Neil Patrick Harris came on stage again, he used a light joke to suggest that the Dolby theater was heating up, even as the host, he was no exception.
"It's bound to be a high-profile Oscar moment. Let's welcome Scarlett Johnson!"
Scarlett, dressed in an emerald green dress, stepped onto the stage amid the applause. "Fifty years ago, the Beatles craze swept across the country, and the United States sank deeper and deeper in the mire of the Vietnam War. Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery. At the same time, people first heard this question at the warley theater in New York on March 2, ’What should we do with Maria? "
"An optimistic and kind-hearted nun, standing on the top of a mountain, shows people her graceful voice. This film is of course the sound of music.". We have no choice but to fall in love with Maria. Produced by 20th century fox, directed by Robert Wise, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, "the sound of music" has won five Oscars, including best picture. "
"It was undoubtedly a box office blockbuster at that time, but later, it gradually became a classic in film history."
Scarlett Johnson officially introduced the sound of music, which is also one of the important parts of tonight's Oscar. After showing the classic clips of the movie, Scarlett invited her special guest tonight: Miss gaga.
As a pop diva, Miss Gaga was born in dance music, but many people ignored her musical quality and deep foundation because of exaggerated fashion modeling. In fact, her musical attainments were very excellent, and later she released a jazz album; Tonight, she reinterprets the original soundtrack of "the sound of music" in the way of traditional Bel Canto and modern interpretation, which is absolutely amazing.
At the end of the performance, Miss Gaga won the audience's collective standing ovation, which is the second time since the "glory" live performance tonight.
Then, Miss Gaga formally invited Julie Andrews to the stage, and the applause of Dolby theater reached a new high. The guests stood for a long time, and no one sat down. In this way, they expressed their high respect to Julie.
Edith, who is standing beside lanli, is watching the stage with tears shining. She can't restrain her excitement and joy. She claps attentively and seriously. Everyone has her own inner softness, just like the nanny Denise Stevens to Edith. The "sound of music" and "joy all over the world" have irreplaceable significance for her.
As if aware of lanli's sight, Edith turned her head, and then saw a gentle smile on lanli's face, with a slight flicker of banter and ridicule under her eyes - just like lanli's usual style, she seemed to be teasing Edith's embarrassment, which made Edith smile.
Bathed in the applause, Julie expressed her gratitude and expressed her simple feelings, and then she was responsible for presenting the two trophies of the script department.
A little unexpected is that the first award is the best original script award, which is more competitive.
"Youth", "Birdman", "Budapest Hotel", "Fox Hunter" and "Night Walker" are the final nominations.
Compared with the adapted script, the original department has gathered three popular seed players, as well as the strongest "Fox Hunter" among the non seed players. Even the script of "Night Walker" has won many awards in the award season, which also makes the competition more intense and can be called the bayonet.
Previously, on top of the American writers' Union award, the final work to reach the top is "Budapest Hotel", which is also generally considered as the key to the film. Because of the lack of competitiveness of the actor department, if "Budapest Hotel" wants to continue to maintain competitiveness, then the best original script can not be lost; On the contrary, once missed, it will break the balance, and the negative impact of Scott Rudin will break out.
In other words, this is the second turning point after the best editing award. However, I didn't expect that the Academy chose to be the first to award the best original script award. Is it because the rumors inside the academy have changed the direction of the wind? So, is it a positive or a negative change towards the Budapest hotel?
Julie Andrews opened the golden envelope in her hand, looked down at it, and then pulled it away a little to make sure she could read the words clearly. "The winner of the best original screenplay award of the 87th Academy Award is... Birdman." Later, there was a long list of screenwriters' names. Unlike other works, "Birdman" was jointly written by four Mexican American screenwriters. The super long and super long names really embarrassed Julie.
The first accident finally appeared, just as the award ceremony entered the final sprint stage——
For the best original screenplay award, the "Budapest Hotel" was kicked out, "Birdman" with a strong counter attack momentum in the second stage, continuously surpassing "Budapest Hotel" and defeating "Youth", while winning the second gold medal tonight, firmly occupied the initiative.
The most amazing thing is that "Birdman" did not even win the nomination of the American Writers Union! This is absolutely an accident, amazing and explosive accident!
In the second stage, the power of college public relations is gradually showing its glory.
The applause of the whole audience was mixed with some ambiguous eyes, unable to tell whether it was schadenfreude or regret. For Scott Rudin, that was one thing; But for Wes Anderson and the Budapest Hotel crew, that's another story:
Before that, four small golden men were successively captured, which once made people think that this work is still a big hit tonight, and the influence of hacker incident does not seem to have happened; But when it comes to the real critical moment, the Budapest hotel is the first to drop the chain, continuing the decline since the second stage.
"Budapest Hotel" is generally regarded as the masterpiece of Wes Anderson. Wes, whose main style is small, fresh and colorful, is the first and probably the only time that he can make a difference above the Oscar, and has a great chance; The result just dissipated.
In the eyes of each other, Harvey Weinstein is an old God, not only not nervous and surprised, but also enjoying it——
When Harvey made a decision, he knew that "imitation game" had almost failed to win the best picture. The four leading works this year were too special. Even "Selma parade" had been out early, and the stable "imitation game" was hard to win by relying on the topic of homosexuality, including "theory of all things".
But Harvey doesn't care, because the most important thing is the best actor, all other situations can stand aside, this is the top priority of this year.
So at this moment, Harvey can completely relax and watch the scuffle in front of him as an onlooker, not only without regret, but also with some schadenfreude. The longer the suspense stays, the more interesting it will be.
After waiting for the award speech, the mood of the guests on the scene was aroused - since the Academy advanced the position of the best original script, it was a little unexpected; So, does this mean that the judges feel the wind is blowing, and the best adapted screenplay will be a surprise?
Compared with the best original screenplay nomination list, the best adapted screenplay nomination list is dwarfed.
"Imitation game", "theory of everything", "drum cracker", "American sniper" and "sex is evil".
Throughout the award season, the adaptation Department has not been able to form a stable lineup. For example, among the top five nominations of the American Writers Union, there are even such nominations as "Galaxy guard", "lost lover" and "stepping into the wilderness", and then they are all wiped out when they reach Oskar; Similar changes have appeared in the major outposts, even the Oscar nomination list can not be determined, which also adds more suspense to the adaptation department.
On the whole, "imitation game" and "drum cracker" are the two most stable works. Almost all the nominations of important outposts have been included. The only doubt is that Damien chazere once shot a short film with the same name from my propaganda, which also makes different associations have different definitions of whether the script of "drum cracker" is original or adapted, It also makes its nominations move back and forth between original and adapted.
Of course, eventually came to the Oscars, the "pop drummer" or was divided in the adaptation department.
Just because of this, the performance of "imitation game" in the major outposts is more stable and better. Not only did it easily reach the top of the American writers' Union Award - "burst drummer" was assigned to the original department and lost to the "Budapest Hotel", but also it won the Golden Globe award regardless of adaptation and originality, Squeeze out the "pop drummer" and become the only adaptation among the top five nominees.
Naturally, "imitation game" has become the number one hit of the best adapted screenplay.
If - only in theory, "imitation game" still hopes to have an impact on the best film, then the best adapted screenplay must win; If the "imitation game" has no intention of the best film, then the best adapted screenplay is the only prize they can win.
From any angle, it's very important.
Bob Weinstein is a little nervous. After all, it's related to Weinstein's efforts in the whole award season; But when he turned his head, he saw Harvey who didn't care. In terms of choice, Harvey was the real hero. Bob couldn't help sighing. He didn't know whether he still cared about the award.
Just as Bob was distracted, Julie on stage announced the winner of the best adapted screenplay award.
"Pop drummer, Damien chazare."
The second accident followed.
Boom!
Boom!
All the guests were in a sensation. Screams and cheers were everywhere. Damien, who had been nominated for the first time, could not even find anyone to invest in the production of the "pop drummer". Now, he is officially crowned the little golden man!
