Today's fourth update, please recommend, please subscribe!

The technical awards were a little more mixed than expected. In the best visual effects, "Benjamin Button", "Batman: The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man" competed, and "Benjamin Button" won; In the Best Sound Editing Award, "Iron Man", "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight", "The Hurt Locker", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Robot Wall-E" compete, "Chalky Darkness" Knight" wins; Best Sound Effects, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," "Slumdog Millionaire," "The Hurt Locker," "Wall-E," "Batman: The Dark Knight" The "Bomb Hurt Team" won.

The last Best Editing Award hailed as "Small Best Picture", "Juno", "Slumdog Millionaire", "Milk", "Batman: The Dark Knight", "The Hurt Locker" The competition between the "Bomb Team" did not reproduce the scene of last year's "Spy Shots' major counterattack, and the "Bomb Hurt Team" won the final victory!

After "Slumdog Millionaire" won the best original score, "Juno" won the second best song award for Evan Bell, and the best foreign language film won the Japanese work "The Undertaker", The entire awards ceremony entered the final peak moment.

Two-thirds of the 81st awards ceremony has passed. Except for Evan Bell's wonderful opening show, the halftime musical performance, and the performance of the "Juno" theme song in the second half, the awards have also found their owners.

"Juno" has won Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Song; "The Hurt Locker" has won Best Editing and Best Sound Effects; "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" has won Best Best Visual Effects; "The Dark Knight" won Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, Best Sound Editing; "Wall-E" won Best Animated Feature; "Slumdog Millionaire" The Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Score won the bag; "Milk" won the Best Supporting Actor; "Life and Death Reading" won the Best Supporting Actress.

Judging from the current situation, "Juno" and "Dark Knight" who have won three golden statues have a slight advantage, followed by "Slumdog Millionaire", which has won two golden statues - among which It also included the all-important Best Editing Award for "The Hurt Locker", but it missed the Best Picture award, while "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", which was a hit before the awards ceremony, only got a single trophy. As for "Milk", the last of the five nominees for the best picture, although there is only one golden statuette, the award for the best supporting actor is not bad, so I still retain hope.

It can be judged that in the competition for the best picture, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", a poem about the history of human nature that conforms to the traditional aesthetic view of the Oscars, was the first to fall behind!

Among the final four awards, the Best Director Award was the first to appear. Since last year's award winner Evan Bell was the host, he was not included in the list of presenters. He appeared tonight to present this award. The guests of the important awards are heavyweights, including Steven Spielberg who won "Schindler's List" in 1994 and "Saving Private Ryan" in 1998, and Martin Scot who won "The Departed" in 2007. Sith, Clint Eastwood for "Unforgiven" in 1993 and "Million Dollar Baby" in 205, Richard Attenborough for "Gandhi" in 1983, "Hunter" in 1979 The Deer Man" award-winning Michael Cimino.

Such a strong lineup is not inferior to the lineup of the four directors who crowned Martin Scorsese the Oscar laurel this year. When the guests appeared on the stage, the audience stood up and paid tribute indiscriminately, so luxurious. The lineup of guests is indeed enough to make people emotional, it is estimated that even the audience in front of the TV is already boiling at this time.

Judging from the trend of this year's best director awards, the top five players have their own advantages and weaknesses. In fact, Evan Bell was the first to fall behind, not because this year's work "Juno" is too niche. , but because Evan Bell was crowned best director last year.

In the history of the Oscars, there are only two directors who have staged a good show that has won the best director statue for two consecutive times. Relying on "Comet Mermaid" to continuously dominate the Oscar; the other is John Ford, who won two consecutive golden statues with "The Grapes of Wrath" in 1941 and "Green Mountain and Green Valley" in 1942. And whether it is Joseph 11 Mankiewicz or John Ford, their feat of dominating the Oscars for two consecutive years is considered to be a pre-Oscar thing. After the Oscars entered a mature period in the 1970s and 1980s, no one could create this miracle.

Evan Bell won his fifth consecutive nomination for "Juno" this year, surpassing William Wheeler to become the first person in Oscar history to win the best director nomination in a row. The record of twelve nominations is still infinitely far away, and it seems impossible for Evan Bell to create a new history and become the third consecutive best director in the Oscars. What's more, don't forget that even this year, Evan Bell is only twenty-six years old, and age is still a major weakness!

Therefore, even if "Juno" performs better, Evan Bell still occupies an unfavorable position among the top five players.

Among the other four finalists, Katherine Bigelow, who won the Directors Guild Award for Best Director, is the most advantageous, but "The Hurt Locker" missed the best picture nomination, which also made her an Oscar nomination. The championship index fell all the way, moving directly to Evan Bell. And "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" missed the Best Editing nomination again, a criticism that made David Fincher's loophole obvious.

In this way, it seems that the final battle is between Danny Ball of "Slumdog Millionaire" and Garth Van Sant of "Milk", while Danny Ball has been quiet for many years, Staying away from Hollywood and the eternal three-pronged axe of train feces and banknotes is also fatal, and Garth Van Sant's work is too calm, and he is also an openly out Hollywood director, which makes it difficult for him to gain an advantage.

After careful calculation, everyone has an Achilles' heel, and their advantages are also very clear, so all five players have returned to the same starting line. Whether it's Evan Bell winning the Golden Man for Best Director, or Catherine Bigelow becoming the first best director in Oscar history without a Best Picture nomination -- and the first female director in history to win; Whether it's Danny Ball and David Fincher's arrival in Hollywood as independent British directors, or Garth Van Sant's last-minute reversal becoming the first director to win an award and come out publicly, there are actually Possibly, this is also one of the most interesting reasons for the 81st Oscars, no one can know the result, not even the presenters standing on the stage at this time.

Steven Spielberg introduced Evan Bell, Martin Scorsese introduced Garth Van Sant, and Clint Eastwood gave Katherine Bigelow's eulogy, Richard Attenborough applauded for David Finch, Michael Cimino was responsible for presenting the advantages of Danny Ball. After the five directors introduced the candidates one by one, Martin stood in the middle. - Scorsese - Because he is the closest winner in time, the task of revealing the winner falls to him.

"The Oscar winner is," Martin Scorsese opened the envelope in his hand, looked at the name on the card, picked his thick eyebrows similar to Crayon Shin-chan, and revealed a bright smile, "Eye Vin-Bell, 'Juno,!"

In an instant, the audience was like a tsunami coming. The chalks, shouts, whistles, and applause came together. Everyone understood the meaning of Martin Scorsese's expression just now. The 80th At the Oscars, Martin Scorsese brought the best director statuette to Evan Bell; at the 81st Oscars, the same presenter and the same winner, this is bound to become a period in Oscar history good story. And more importantly, five master directors came to the scene, personally announced all this and participated in it all, which is bound to go down in history and leave the most indelible strokes!

Evan Bell made history, he made a fabulous history again, again!

Winning the Best Director Oscar at the age of 25 is not the end; winning the Best Director Oscar at the age of 26 Maybe, it is still not the end, this is a miracle! There is no ancient man before, and I am afraid that there will be no miracles of future comers.

When Evan Bell became the first director in history to win Best Director in his twenties last year, all the accolades came flooding in, and everyone was saying that Evan Bell had created a Incredible record, the comments are overwhelming; and this year, when Martin Scorsese announced again that Evan Bell was still the winner of the 81st Academy Award for Best Director, everyone was speechless. After speaking, no matter how gorgeous the rhetoric, no matter how many words and exclamations, it cannot convey the shock of the heart.

In addition to applauding, every audience at the scene could not find any action to express their inner emotions. The applause, the applause of the waves, the applause of thunder, the applause of mountains and tsunamis, the scene seemed to be experiencing a stormy sea. Ye Bianzhou, tossed back and forth amid the frenzied applause, but no one hesitated, everyone was a part of the fuel, they stood up collectively, collectively vented their inner excitement with their own hands, collectively used their hands Feeling that he has become a witness to history, he collectively gave Evan Bell the highest praise with both hands!

Katherine Bigelow, Danny Ball, David Finch, Garth Van Sant, Evan Bell, strong players are like forests, the brave meet, the strongest wins! The strongest this time is Evan Bell!
