"We have a long history of the next prize winner, and the most significant part of it comes from tonight: all the netizens on the social network are cursing me, Neil Patrick Harris. Why is there no burden on him tonight? I want to see him
There is no need for more introduction, there are already guests on the scene began to smile.
"But I have to say, because he's too bright now, I'm afraid that he will be accused of rubbing the heat, then my lightning will be robbed by him. God, this should be the only stage for me this year. How can I let go? I have to kill him. I have to! There is no other choice. "
Neil, who appeared on the stage again, joked in the simplest way. Among the laughter of the audience, "ladies and gentlemen, let's give a big hand. I'm trying to make friends, but my facebook friend application will never be ignored, and I still won't give up trying, Mr. Langley hall."
Let's hear it.
Lanli walked onto the stage with a golden envelope in his hand. All the lights were focused on him, and his graceful and leisurely steps stopped in front of the microphone. "Obviously, when I was hiding in the lounge and eating french fries, many people were chanting my name, so I appeared. But here, I have to make it clear that I have nothing to do with Aladdin. This is definitely not a movie advertisement. "
What a cold joke.
But have a unique style of handling the fun of the blue ceremony, and make complaints about Damien and Neal's series, and at the same time, they also tuckled up a Aladdin movie that Disney is preparing for.
Then, the cold joke is full of wit, successfully let the laughter ring gently.
"Frank Capra once said that making movies has nothing to do with rules, only talking about sin, and the first-class sin is boredom. These five nominees for the best director are definitely not boredom. We are very honored to live in an era of vigorous development of the film industry, So that the audience can freely roam in the kingdom of imagination. "
"Here are the nominees for best director." As a prize awarding guest, lanli did not intend to grab the focus, and completed the work step by step.
Richard linclyt in his youth, Wes Anderson in Budapest Hotel, Alessandro Gonzalez inarito in Birdman, Damien chazere in cracker drummer and Bennett Miller in fox hunter.
In addition to the best film and best actor, the best director is undoubtedly one of the most suspense awards at this year's awards ceremony, but the intensity is slightly different.
Throughout the award season, Richard linclyt, Wes Anderson and Alessandro Gonzalez inarito have been unanimously recognized from the point of view of directing skills. All the nominations of important associations or awards have been successfully shortlisted and they are firmly among the "troika".
The other two seats are a scuffle. Back and forth, you can see eight to ten directors competing for their works. The situation of bayonet red is extremely fierce. In the end, Damien chazere and Bennett Miller join hands to win the counter attack, which makes the fight for the best director burst out a cruel and bloody atmosphere.
On the whole, Damien, who is under 30 years old, has already won his first nomination. Bennett has consumed all his energy when he narrowly won the top five with a dark horse posture. The main competition is still around the troika, and the influence of the hacker incident has left Wes behind, which is proved by the fact that he lost the best original screenplay award due to the "Birdman" reversal, Then Richard and Alessandro were left to compete.
As it happens, "Youth" and "Birdman" are the main themes of the competition in the second stage. It is no exaggeration to say that the direction of the best director will probably determine the direction of the best film. The main reason is that the two works are inseparable and the situation and gap between them are very close. The best director will become the key to change the overall pattern, As the importance level rises, so does the attention level.
Among the "three wind vanes" of the Oscars, the Golden Globe Award, the North American radio Critics Association Award, and the British Academy Award, Ziqi chose Richard linklet.
In addition to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, the Seattle Film Critics Association Award, and the old golden hill Film Critics Association Award, the American directors union award also chose Alessandro Gonzalez inarito.
Clint Eastwood, the American sniper, was unexpectedly chosen for the National Review Association Award; The New York Film Critics Association award is a rare choice among the outposts.
In terms of the number and weight of awards, Richard linklet is slightly better than others; However, the most lethal American directors' Union award has been given to Alessandro. Up to now, only six winners of the sixty-six American directors' Union awards have failed to win the Oscars.
Of course, Ben Affleck, who fled from Tehran two years ago, did not even get an Oscar nomination.
According to the law, Richard Linklater's odds are slightly dominant, and many important cities have chosen this independent director without hesitation; However, in terms of the rising momentum of the second stage of college public relations, Alessandro Gonzalez inarito should have the advantage, which is mainly reflected in the US directors' Union award which was announced last week.
Objectively speaking, the prediction accuracy of the three major weathervanes, namely the North American Radio Film Critics Association Award, the American National Review Association Award and the Golden Globe Award, is declining; The deviation rate of American actors union awards and American directors union awards is also on the rise. All these prove that the unpredictability of public relations in the second stage of the college is becoming more and more obvious. Even the Weinstein brothers are gradually losing the control of five years ago and three years ago.
In previous years, the trend of wind direction in the second stage will become more and more clear; But this year, due to the lack of dominant works, the situation of close strength has completely disrupted the rhythm of the wind direction - although for the audience, there is a lack of attention; But for the topic, it's natural to make machines.
So, Richard and Alessandro, who can win? What's more, who is the best picture contender?
The whole audience, holding their breath, all eyes fell on Lan Li, hot and turbulent, as if the rolling heat wave was licking the skin surface.
Judging from the cheers at the scene, it was Wes Anderson who received the most support. If there is no Scott Rudin in the hacking incident, this year is likely to be the year when the "Budapest Hotel" completes its rule, and even the "Youth" and "Birdman" can not compete with this work; Unfortunately, without ifs, this highly acclaimed work is in line with the taste of the college, but it can only be seen on the wall.
"I guess it's not a good time to joke." Lanli successfully defused the tense atmosphere at the scene with an irony. He also showed a smile and opened the envelope without delay. "The winner of the best director award of the 87th Academy Award is..."
Edith, who was sitting under the stage, was not nervous at all. She was just the crowd who came to join in the fun. Even if she was nervous, it should be the best actor award. However, the special atmosphere of the Dolby theater made the excitement and excitement gather little by little, so that the sense of tension permeated.
At the moment, Edith's palms could not help sweating, and she could not help pinching. She looked at Lan Li's face through the light curtain, trying to distinguish some clues from that expression; But lanli's placid poker face is too deceptive to distinguish.
"That guy." Edith could make complaints about the second faces of blue rites, and he was laughing at the moment. He was the first person to see the answer in the entire Dolby theatre. The pride and joy were most incisive in the short pause. Edith was really unable to speak.
One second.
In fact, Lan Li just stopped for a second, did not deliberately create suspense, but also did not hasten to announce the answer, but this breath time created a strong sense of suffocation, the air seemed to have solidified, and then Lan Li's voice slowed down ten times from the sound.
"Alessandro Gonzalez inarito, Birdman."
"Birdman" won, and "Birdman" unexpectedly overtook "Budapest Hotel" and overturned "Youth". With the overall acceleration of the second stage, Birdman defeated the two hottest spots of the whole award season and successfully won the Oscars. After Alfonso Caron, for the second year in a row, Alessandro brought the best director xiaojinren back to Mexico.
This is the power of college public relations!
In the early stage of the first stage, there was no "bird man" who could get enough attention. Relying on the accurate positioning and strong public relations, he laughed to the end.
Of course, from a technical point of view, Alessandro has indeed demonstrated a high level, no less than Richard and Wes and other competitors. Just like Alfonso's outstanding performance in directing last year, Alessandro has also demonstrated his ability through "Birdman" this year——
Since 2000, with the "love is a son of a bitch" shortlisted for the best foreign language film Oscar, 15 years of sharpening a sword, finally relying on this Hollywood self mockery work to reach the top, "Mexican Legion" powerful forces to invade Hollywood, seems to have become the most powerful force in the last decade.
Richard linclyt, who spent 12 years building a "Youth" movie, and Wes Anderson, who devoted himself to building the "Budapest Hotel", the peak of his career, finally missed the golden man.
Lanli welcomed Alessandro with a smile, while Alessandro gave him a big hug and even patted him on the back, which made all the guests roar. Lanli didn't like hugs, which is no secret in Hollywood.
