Clint Eastwood is also a legend in the history of Hollywood cinema, a prolific director and actor who can be counted on the list, and it is really fitting for him to present this award.
The old man walked to the award stage, waved the envelope in his hand, then looked at the golden statuette on the stage, and deliberately said in a regretful tone: "I am honored to be the best actor award guest, sometimes I am in Think how good it would be if it were mine, of course, everyone knows which one I'm referring to."
The scene couldn't help but chuckle.
"Okay, let's see who's nominated: Tom Hanks, The Philadelphia Story; Daniel Day-Lewis, In the Name of the Father; Anthony Hopkins, Farewell to the Lovers "; Liam Neeson, Schindler's List."
The big screen on the stage was divided into four grids, and every time Clint pronounced a person's name, that person's avatar was displayed in the grid, and all four looked excited, especially Anthony Hopkins. , only won the best actor for "Silence of the Lambs" two years ago. If you win another one now, it will undoubtedly add another glory.
He was destined to be disappointed. Angela, who was sitting in the seat, stared at the big screen and shook her head gently, and then looked at Tom Hanks, who was not far from him. Although a good man was sitting upright, he could The hands on his knees were already clenched into fists, and his wife put her hands on his fists to show her support.
Even without "Forrest Gump", the role of the AIDS patient in "The Philadelphia Story" is enough for him to win a golden statue. Yes, there is no "Forrest Gump" this year, no Mars hits the earth.
In fact, as early as November last year, "Forrest Gump" was already produced and ready to be released, but I don't know if it was lucky or unfortunate, a small-scale fire broke out in the warehouse where the film was placed. Although the rescue was timely, the flames still raged. Gobbled up at least a third of the film, leaving Paramount depressed. Had to reshoot these shots.
These news were all told to the girl by Eric. Although Angela expressed sympathy and regret on the surface, she finally breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. She finally doesn't have to worry about the conflict between the two masterpieces. But at the same time, there is inevitably some unwillingness in my heart. If they really collide, what will be the result? People are so weird, aren't they
"Then, I announce. The Best Actor winner is—" Clint smiled slyly. After a long pause, he said loudly, "The Philadelphia Story, Mr. Tom Hanks! Congratulations!"
The warm applause suddenly sounded in the music center. Tom Hanks was stunned at first, and after he knew that the face on the big screen was indeed him, he stood up excitedly, kissed his wife, and then greeted his surroundings. His congratulatory hands shook hands before stepping onto the stage. After taking the Golden Man from Clint. After hugging the old director again, I started to speak: "I..."
Angela has no intention to listen to Tom's comments. For her, all the things she once had to worry about can be put down. Hanks will not lose the honor of being the best actor again, so what she needs to pay attention to now is the award of the next award, the Best Original Screenplay Award.
"Okay, thank you very much Mr. Hanks. Let's cheer for this movie star, as long as you don't collapse the roof." Ubi said jokingly, "Then accepting this award is not the same, it is not enough to use talent. To describe them, especially the talented girl, well, now ask Mr. Morgan Freeman to present the Best Original Screenplay Award!"
The thin and thin Morgan Freeman came to the stage and nodded to the audience with a modest smile: "It's an honor to present this award, this year's Best Original Screenplay nomination is an eye-opener, Ms. Jane Campion's "Piano Lesson", Mr. Gary Rose's "Fake President", Ron Neswanier's "The Philadelphia Story" and Miss Angela Mason's "The Sixth Sense", each The works are memorable.”
At this time, Angela looked at herself on the big screen. Although her face remained calm, she also clenched her fists like Tom Hanks before. "The Sixth Sense" won a total of best film and best director. , Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing 5 nominations, which can be said to be similar to the nominations in previous lives.
But the girl knows very well that "The Sixth Sense" was a complete failure at the Oscars. After all, Oscars rarely favor horror movies, so she must maintain a calm attitude towards the nomination. However, when the black old man on the stage called After she gave her name, she realized that the so-called calm is pure shit! No one, especially newcomers, can face all this calmly, even if they know that it is impossible to win.
"Fake President"? A comedy, interesting, but only interesting; The Philadelphia Story? It is indeed a good movie, but what I remember most is that Hanks won the best actor because of it. As for the original screenplay award, I am not impressed at all; "Piano Lesson"? Campion made it beautifully, but can't think of any credit for the film anyway. Angela involuntarily analyzed the situation of several other movies. She seemed to be a little lost, and she didn't wake up until Julia next to her grabbed her arm.
At this time, the little black old man had already opened the envelope. After reading it carefully, he read it out with a smile: "The Best Original Screenplay Award is "Piano Lesson"! Congratulations, Ms. Campion!"
An Jila, who held her breath, only felt that something in her heart suddenly fell to the ground. She couldn't tell what she was feeling, disappointed? Happy? Or as expected? In the end, she still lost, but she never thought that the winner would be "Piano Lesson"!
Even if she has the memory of her previous life, there is something she has not paid attention to, Angela shook her head with this thought, and then applauded Ms. Jane Campion who stepped onto the stage.
There are winners and losers, this is normal, and Oscar won't settle down some frustrated people. A few more technical awards followed, and "Schindler's List" finally no longer dominated. Only won the best cinematography, the best sound editing and the best sound effects were unexpectedly won by "Life and Death".
In this regard, it can only be said that the early appearance of "Speed of Life and Death" was lucky, because the early start of shooting of "Schindler's List" made the "Jurassic Park" already in preparation to be suspended, plus "Sindler's List". Le's List was shot a quarter longer than it had been, and Spielberg had to take a two-month break after it ended. Then the filming of "Jurassic Park" started, and in any case it was too late to be released in December, otherwise, with its CG technology, there is no doubt that it will win these awards.
However, "Speed of Life" can only win these two awards. Although this film was released ahead of schedule, it is still similar to what Angela had seen in the previous life, but Kate's performance can only be described as quite satisfactory, and it seems that something is missing.
Next up is Best Director. Without a doubt, it belongs to Steve Spielberg, but to Angela's surprise, Ms. Campion, the director of "Piano Lessons," was also nominated, and she finally felt as though she had underestimated "Piano Lessons."
"Jack, do you have the nomination list for "Piano Lesson"?" Angela tipped her head and whispered in the manager's ear.
"What's wrong? Do you want it now?" Sparrow was a little strange.
"I want to see it, that's all." The girl shrugged, "I know, I've seen it before, but all my attention was on being nominated for Best Supporting Actress. I forgot about the rest."
"Okay. But there is no nomination list for "Piano Lesson" anymore, but there are nominations for the entire Academy Awards." Sparrow made a small joke. He took the folded list out of his jacket pocket and handed it to her.
Angela didn't care either, she opened it and found it, followed by Xiao Xiao's surprise, Best Film, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Cinematography, Best Editing , Best Costume Design, a total of 8 nominations, 3 more than "The Sixth Sense"! The girl couldn't help but open her mouth, she really underestimated the movie, but it was also luck that she met "Schindler's List".
When the girl shook her head and sighed, a familiar voice suddenly rang: "I am honored and delighted to receive this award again, it seems that the judges of the Academy of Film Arts and Sciences Award have not disliked me, this old man. I have to thank Steven, we've had a great time working together, and then Mr. Itzhak, without him playing so well, the soundtrack would have been at least half the color, and Miss Angela, who inspired me to make me Can make such a beautiful song."
Angela looked up at the stage in surprise, and John Williams, who was holding the golden statuette, raised his hand in her direction. The camera just switched over, and her surprised expression could be seen on the big screen, but her adaptability was very useful. Very skilled, and then turned into a shy expression, an indescribable cuteness, which made the audience involuntarily applaud.
But the girl is indeed a little ashamed. At the beginning, John hoped to write her name on the soundtrack. No matter how many tricks in the soundtrack, the main melody is still the one she played, and she also participated in the soundtrack work, but Angela didn't agree. This is the best soundtrack. Well, the first soundtrack won the Oscar... Do you want others to see her as a monster? So she declined, anyway, she will get it with her own efforts sooner or later, besides, wouldn't it be more beneficial for her to dig things out for old John to owe her favor.
As if to match John's speech, the best soundtrack was followed by the award of the best original music, and because of the release of "The Lion King", there was a peculiar scene at the scene. Three songs in the same movie were nominated, and its songwriter, It's all Angela!
"I want to say that this is really a surprising list of nominations," Michael Douglas, holding the envelope, shook his head with emotion, "Breathless," Angela Mason; "Love Tonight," Angela Mason "Hakuna Matata," Angela Mason; "The Streets of Philadelphia," Bruce Springsteen; "Philadelphia," Neil Young"
Although many people already knew the nomination list, when Michael read it out, he still couldn't help whispering. The big screen was divided into three pieces, showing the nominees respectively. Angela was still smiling. She has always maintained this demeanor in public. Even if the heart has set off monstrous waves.
"Unending" and "Love Tonight" were originally sold for Disney's "The Lion King" when they forgot to take out the lyrics and songs at the end. "Hakuna Matata" was written to them later. For this reason, Angela also went to find out the meaning of the African Swahili language of Hakuna Matata, and did a lot of related research on it, and I attached my own opinions and opinions when handing over songs, rather than simply copying them out.
Although all three songs were written by her, she was unable to sing them in the end. Originally, Disney wanted the girl to sing "Endless Life", but Angela declined after thinking about it, because the vocal range required to sing this song is too wide. Although she could barely sing, she thought that it might affect her voice later, so she gave up, but she was very successful in dubbing Sang Qi, that is, it was a female jackal. Even after Angela watched it in the cinema. I really want to give myself two slaps, it's too bad!
"Okay, then let's see who will get this little golden statue." Michael opened the envelope and looked carefully.
Although she had already experienced a failure, the girl's breathing still became a little short. She suddenly thought of the Grammys on March 1st. The most interesting thing about this year's Grammys is the best single because the registration time is From September of last year to September of next year, so the theme song of "Aladdin" released in November 1992 "Meet by chance" will compete with the theme song of "Lion King" released in September 1993, "Love Tonight is Unlimited". Disney can't help but laugh at this. But the Grammys are for singers, so even "Love Tonight" won. There is still no girl's share, and she has gained nothing during the whole ceremony. Who knows if those rumors have any effect, so now
At this time, Michael on the stage had already revealed a smile: "Well, I think I guessed it right, it is indeed the case, she has this strength, then, congratulations to our talented girl, Miss Angela Mason!"
There was only Angela's avatar left on the big screen. Although she had done enough psychological preparation, when she heard her name, the girl still felt a little dazed. Did she really win the award? But then she calmed down and stood up in applause with a smile.
"Congratulations, Angela!" Julia hugged her and kissed her on the face.
"Thank you, Sister Julia." Angela also kissed her face, then shook hands with Rupert, and gave Sparrow a high-five like a little girl before walking onto the stage.
"Congratulations, Angela." Michael smiled and handed the little golden man to her, "As I said, this is a manifestation of your strength."
"Thank you, Mr. Michael." The girl took it. She wanted to hug each other, but after thinking about it, she just shook hands.
"Well, thank the judges for presenting this award to me. It is an honor for me. This is an Oscar trophy for me. It is very memorable. I think I will do better in the future." Angela raised the trophy in her hand. Then he walked off the stage, and the thank you speech was very brief, more like announcing something, and as for why, I believe most people are clear.
However, Oscar seems to intend to test the girls. After the performance of the song and dance, the host Whoopi took the stage and announced that the next award to be awarded is Best Supporting Actress!
This news surprised Angela, who was talking and laughing with Julia, Rupert and Sparrow, because the nomination for Best Supporting Actress was very interesting, very interesting.
First, Holly Hunter and Emma Thompson, who were nominated for Best Actress, were also nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and then Angela and Kim Basinger were both nominated for Best Supporting Actress for The Sixth Sense. - who made her change a boy to a girl - but most notably, Angela, nominated for Best Supporting Actress for both "The Sixth Sense" and "Piano Lesson"!
"Emma Thompson, In the Name of the Father; Holly Hunter, The Sugar-Coated Trap; Winona Ryder, The Age of Innocence; Kim Basinger, The Sixth Sense; Mason, "The Sixth Sense"; Angela Mason, "Piano Lesson." Al Pacino, the former actor who read his name on the stage, had a thick beard and was full of masculinity.
"Look, this should be the most amazing Best Supporting Actress nomination list in Oscar history," Arr said slightly exaggeratedly, "There are two nominees for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the same time. There are two nominations for best supporting actress for the same movie and one nomination for best supporting actress for another movie, which is really dramatic."
Then he pointed to Winona Ryder and said jokingly: "I have to say, Winona, your situation is not good, very bad."
On the big screen, Winona smiled and rolled her eyes, which was a response to Al's ridicule, but she didn't look very good, but Al changed her words: "But before I reveal the answer, anything is possible. Yes, who knows if it will be an upset?"
He raised his head and smiled and looked at the audience, raising the envelope in his hand: "Do you want me to open it now?"
There was a burst of boos in the audience, and they all expressed their dissatisfaction with his appetizing behavior, and even Whoopi below the stage couldn't help laughing and shouting: "Hey, Al, are you going to hide in the bedroom when you go home? Do you watch it by yourself?"
"Okay, okay, then let's see who can win this award now." Al said, opening the envelope, then deliberately widened his eyes, rubbed his hands, and exclaimed in surprise: "I didn't Get it wrong!"
The appearance of an old urchin made the audience angry and funny, and the music center boos again, but Al coughed unmoved: "Well, this is indeed true, to be honest, I really don't want to announce it, because This will make a lot of people sad, but I have to announce, because if I drag it on, they will drown me with spit, so I can only choose the latter for my own safety!"
Amid the loud laughter at the scene, he suddenly raised his voice: "Well, she has already broken a lot of records anyway, it doesn't matter if she breaks it again, congratulations to her, my former daughter, Angela Mason!" piano Lesson"!"
Whoa! The warm applause sounded, and people couldn't help but marvel that the youngest winner of the Oscar film history actually won another award, and it was full of weight - Best Supporting Actress!
Angela stood up, because she just won the best original music, so she was not too excited, but she was still surprised that she actually won the best supporting actress!
"Congratulations, Angie!" Julia hugged her again and kissed her cheek with a little envy in her tone.
"Thank you, Sister Julia, you will have it too." Of course Angela knew what she was thinking, said comfortingly, and shook hands with the people around her again.
Walking to the stage, Al, who had been waiting for a long time, handed over the Best Supporting Actress trophy to her, and then gently touched her cheek like a father: "Congratulations, Angie!"
"Thank you, Al... Dad!" The girl smiled, calling out the name she hadn't used in a long time, and frowned, "Your beard is really piercing!"
"Really? Well, I'll shave it off, and I'll shave it next year." Alhaha smiled and let it go.
Angela smiled and stood in front of the microphone: "I didn't expect that I would come up so soon..."
For a moment, she was a little lost, and her mind seemed to reappear in the days of filming on a small island in New Zealand. Being drenched in the rain, walking in the mud, and the fickle weather always made people feel powerless, especially Dancing by the sea was a torture for the quasi-idiot dancing, but she finally persevered and performed well, so this movie she never remembered won her the best supporting actress!
"I think I have to thank Ms. Campion, although we were rivals tonight, maybe I wouldn't have won this award if it wasn't for your film, and I'd like to thank Ms. Holly Hunter for her amazing performance , and Mr. Sam Neill, a gentleman of standard, I have learned a lot from you, so I have my deepest respect, and I will also do better next time!"
