A series of awards, the most exciting moment, and undoubtedly the best actress to follow. But before that, the first high nest on the Oscar stage tonight came from Eli Kazan, who was awarded the Oscar honorary award by the Academy to the thunderous applause of the audience.
The Oscar Honorary Award, in recent years, people are more used to calling it the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award. The weight of this award is actually mixed in the circle, and the polarization is very serious.
The most attention and weight of the Oscars are undoubtedly the four awards, namely corner, director and best picture. However, in some "movie years", it is not that they did not rise to the top through superb public relations means, or that there are practitioners who have only highlighted it once.
However, the Lifetime Achievement Award is different from the four awards. Generally speaking, people who win the award do not need this award to add luster to their career achievements. On the contrary, it is more like an affirmation of the career trajectory of the winners by the academy and the entire Hollywood film circle.
For example, Ja, the first Chinese Oscar winner of the Lifetime Achievement Award, when he won this award in 2016, the peak of his career has actually passed. There is no doubt that this award is an affirmation of his success as a filmmaker, but in retrospect, this award has no effect on his future.
In fact, there are two general weights of the Lifetime Achievement Award. The first to bear the brunt is, of course, awarded to legends in the film industry. The second is to give people who have made a lot of achievements and contributions, but always have only Oscar nominations and have not won any awards.
This is also the main reason why some practitioners in the circle always call it a consolation prize.
However, it still depends on who the winner is and what kind of achievements they have made in the film circle. They may have bad luck with the Oscars, or they may not be widely known, but they must be well-respected and well-respected people in the industry.
Therefore, there have always been mixed reviews for this award. When the achievements of the winners themselves are dazzling, then this is more of a kind of "affirmation" and "icing on the cake".
When the winners themselves are mediocre, relying on their qualifications to get to the academy and being embarrassed not to give affirmations, then they will become the consolation prizes jokingly called by the people in the circle.
But if you want to say that this award is full of gold, it actually makes sense. After all, the practitioners who have won this award have always been short of big names in the circle of various eras.
For example, Basque Keaton in the early years, this guy is the pioneer and great **** of the silent film era, at least in terms of prestige, he will not lose to Chaplin at all. Although he is dubbed a cold-faced comedian by fans around the world, at the same time, he is also one of the most influential directors of the film industry so far.
A little closer, such as Alfred Hitchcock, this can be said to be the ancestor of the suspense film. Its original Hitchcock zoom is still used frequently today.
It can even be said unceremoniously that Hitchcock is not limited to a name at all, he himself represents an era, a film technique and spirit. No matter how many years have passed, when it comes to film art, there is simply no way to get around the name Hitchcock.
If it is closer, then there is no doubt that it is George Lucas. Even outside North America, some movie fans don't care about the name at all, but as long as people who like to watch movies, there is a high probability that they will watch it more or less. Been through Star Wars. …
What is Star Wars? More often, fans will compare Star Wars to an era!
There is also a director who makes Dongfang more familiar, that is Akira Kurosawa. This guy is a good friend with the legendary Marquez, and his fans are all over the film circle.
"Honey."
In the storm-like applause of the audience, Cameron Diaz clapped with the people around him, tilted his head, looked at the man beside him, and sighed in a low voice: "If you never return to the "dark art" in the future , only focus on commercial films such as DC comics and superheroes, in the end, will the academy also give you an "honorary award" statuette?"
"Who knows." Shaking his head slightly, Wayne sat back in his chair and stared at the main stage for a while.
If you look at your achievements in the film industry, even if you retire now, I am afraid that it is enough to enter the shortlist for the Lifetime Achievement Award. However, in his heart, there is no desire for this award at all.
"Boss doesn't need this honor, as long as he wants, he is fully capable of picking better ones!"
Nina smiled softly. She has been in Hollywood for so many years. Of course, she understands the gold content of each award.
"Yeah, he's perfectly capable of getting better."
Cameron Diaz whispered the words of the assistant, looked at the eyes on the stage, and slowly narrowed.
Helen Hunt, the last Oscar winner, has stepped onto the stage, and it's clear that the most compelling "Queen" is next. Although she spoke step by step and slowly introduced the achievements of several candidates this year, the cameras at the scene have been aimed at several "potential actresses".
Meryl Streep in "Family Is Priceless", Emily Watson in "She's Lonely Than Fireworks", Ferlanda Montenegro in "Grand Central Station", And Cate Blanchett, who is still a stranger.
Several actresses must be beating drums in their hearts, but when facing the camera, they all have generous smiles on their faces.
"Boss, will it be Kate?" At this time, Nina turned to ask her boss in a low voice.
Wayne nodded. "The opportunity is huge."
In essence, the Academy-led Academy Awards are still divided into pie, the only difference is who gets the biggest piece of the pie.
According to the previous awards, it is speculated that this highly valuable performance award will most likely be given to "Shakespeare in Love" or "Family Love is Priceless". But there is a premise here. Meryl Streep can be said to be a frequent visitor to this award. According to the previous style of the academy, it is basically impossible for the same face to appear consecutively on this stage.
This year's Oscars have been going on so far, and the taste of the cake has been very strong, but the biggest piece of cake, the potential winner is "Shakespeare in Love", after all, this film is already ahead of other works in terms of public relations lobbying. a position.
That's right, "Saving Private Ryan" has only won a few technical awards before. Even Wayne has guessed it now. The college will definitely give this World War II epic a compensation for these three heavyweight awards. , or how to say it is a cake. …
But whether in terms of prestige or status in the circle, Tom Hanks at this time is completely incomparable to Steven Spielberg next to him. Therefore, Wayne speculates that even if there have been some changes in this Oscar because of himself, the final best director is likely to be a surprise to compensate the crew of "Saving Private Ryan".
No matter how you analyze it, Cate Blanchett, the young actor who seems to be the most junior and least likely to win, is the most suitable winner of this cake.
"Frankly speaking, each of them played very well in the movie. If I could make a decision, I would definitely give each of them a golden statue. The best actress at the 71st Academy Awards is Shakespeare. "Love" Cate Blanchett, congratulations."
There was no common intentional cheating, Helen Hunt just made a simple joke, glanced at the winners in the envelope, and directly announced the winners list.
For a moment, the entire Chandler Hall fell into silence, but what followed was a tsunami of applause. Even several actresses, including Meryl Streep, were just stunned for a moment, and then with an elegant smile, got up and patted their hands.
The moment Cate Blanchett heard her name, it was like a dream, and her face was full of unbelievable surprise. She was pushed by the cast members of the same cast around her, and it seemed that she really realized that she was the Oscar queen.
In the applause of the whole hall, she hugged the staff of "Shakespeare in Love" one by one. Although she was very excited, she still maintained the most basic elegant image.
Unexpectedly, she did not, like the previous winners, hug the staff around her, and then she couldn't wait to get on the highly anticipated stage. Without any hesitation, Cate Blanchett lifted the skirt of her dress and squeezed in the direction of the "Flash" crew.
"Thank you, thank you for everything you've done for me, my dear."
In front of thousands of guests at the scene and in front of ABC's live broadcast to the world, Cate Blanchett hugged Wayne directly and kept saying thank you in his ear.
"Okay, Kate, let's go, everyone is waiting for you." Facing the camera, Wayne's face only had a sunny and tough smile, and he said while patting the woman's back lightly : "Go and enjoy your moment of glory, Kate."
"Thank you."
Before leaving, Cate Blanchett kissed Wayne's face before holding her head high, nodding her head with the blessing guests along the way, and hurried to the main stage.
Jennifer Connelly, not far away, was staring at Cate Blanchett the whole time. Why is this Hollywood newcomer from Australia able to become the new Oscar-winning actress? No doubt it was because of the man beside him.
For a moment, all the scenery in her eyes was blurred, and even she herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking. Do you regret it? Do not! She glanced at her boyfriend, David, beside her. Her choice was the right one. Although her boyfriend was just a cameraman, he only loved her wholeheartedly.
Cameron Diaz looked at Cate Blanchett's back, and an unspeakable jealousy also rose in her heart. Her character has always been daring to think and speak, so she simply turned her head and looked into the man's eyes asked. "My dear, what else do I have to do to get such an opportunity."…
"No, Kami, you misunderstood."
Wayne shook his head gently, he knew that there was a camera facing him now, his lips parted slightly, and he said in a low voice, "Going on that stage and becoming one of the big winners is actually 90% luck. . This year is such a good, such an appropriate opportunity, no one knows if there will be more in the future."
That's right, opportunities like this year's tricky ones will be hard to come by in the future. And everyone only saw the high-spirited Cate Blanchett, but selectively ignored the big fat man clapping off the stage.
To be honest, it's not difficult to find a project that can go to the Oscar stage. What's difficult is how to find a public relations master like this fat man.
It doesn't even need the awards ceremony to end. Now Wayne can be sure that the film critics and film critics who are watching this Oscar must have put the title of the most watery actress to Cate Blanche in some live broadcasts. on Te's head.
It's a bad word, but Cate Blanchett gets real credit. On the other hand, the more it is like this, the more it can reflect the public relations methods of that big fat man, right?
"Compared to the other nominees, I deserve it. If I didn't know how to love, I wouldn't be able to play this role, and I have to thank my family for that."
Taking over the golden statuette in the hands of Helen Hunt, Cate Blanchett stood in front of the microphone and cried with joy, but she did not thank the list one by one like the other winners. Instead, after briefly mentioning his parents, his eyes were firmly locked in the direction of Wayne under the stage.
"Here, Wayne, I want to thank you so much for everything you've done for me. Thank you for helping me get rid of all my competitors, thank you. I want to tell you that you are not only a great film director, you are also a Great filmmaker, you are the greatest filmmaker in my heart, thank you."
After speaking, regardless of some of the discussions on the scene, she turned and walked towards the backstage, where reporters from hundreds of media were waiting to interview her and the newly released Oscar winner.
"m***erf**k, this stupid woman!"
When he heard the phrase "Thank you for helping me kill all my competitors", even knowing that he had attracted most of the attention of the audience, Wayne couldn't help but let out a foul language in a low voice.
If he remembers correctly, it seems that there was once an Oscar winner who thanked Harvey Weinstein in the face of the audience when he received the award. But just thinking about the ending of this big fat man made Wayne feel bad for a while, so sad.
"Kill all the competitors, huh?!"
There were bursts of coaxing whistles around, and Cameron Diaz rolled his eyes and teased the man beside him in a low voice. "Haney, I suggest canceling the next Vanity Fair reception. If I were you, I would definitely pull out my belt and slap her ass."
"shutthef**kup!"
Wayne narrowed his eyes and looked at Cameron Diaz with a bad look. "Aha? Looks like you're looking forward to belts?"
"No, no, no."
Cameron Diaz's head shook like a rattle, but she knew very well that once she really aroused the beast in the other party's heart, she might be the one who was beaten.
"That's it, I'm afraid most of the outside world's attention will be shifted from the most watery queen to you, the boss. UU read " Nina pouted, looking at the backstage With a hint of admiration, there is no doubt that Kate Brecht is not stupid at all, and simply plays the matter of getting cheap and selling well.
The awards ceremony on the stage was still going on. In Chandler Hall, from various celebrities to the audience, they all glanced at Wayne's direction from time to time, as if the Best Director Award was being awarded, and it was not at all interesting for Wayne at this time.
"Congratulations to "Saving Private Ryan", congratulations to Director Spielberg!"
When the best director dust settled and belonged to the location of the "Saving Private Ryan" crew, there was an instant burst of strong cheers, everyone with surprise and raised eyebrows on their faces, hugging Steven Spielberg, yes Ah, they've been silent for too long all night.
And there is a very important point that everyone has thought of, the best director is given to Steven Spielberg, then it means that the best picture is infinitely close to them.
