"It's an honor to come up and present the award for Best Actress, so let's see which five women are nominated." With the voice of the presenter Robin Williams, the wide screen on the left shows the five candidates in sequence. People.
"Brenda Bryce, 'Secrets and Lies'; Frances McDormand, 'Frozen'; Nicole Kidman, 'The Island'; Kristin Scott Thomas, 'UK The Patient"; Rachel Weisz, "Titanic"!"
Applause, every time a lady's name is read, everyone will applaud. It is an honor to be nominated. The ladies on the screen seemed to be suppressing their excitement and unease. Even though Angela had analyzed the possibility of winning the award in detail, Rachel still clenched her hands involuntarily.
In fact, it's not just her, the girl herself can't help but be a little nervous. Even though she vaguely remembers that Francis McDormand won the best actress because of "The English Patient", the envelope hasn't been opened yet, and who is it? Knowing that, after all, a lot has changed, and who knows who the film academy judges will award this award to.
"The Best Actress winner is - Francis McDormand! Frozen!"
Angela suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and applauded like everyone else. The girl was somewhat fortunate that this matter was not affected by the butterfly. Of course, I can only say sorry for "The English Patient". The last one has a high chance. The awards are slipping away, so unless the film school judges want to play with everyone's feelings, best director and best picture must be in Titanic's pocket.
While Francis was giving a speech, the girl turned her head to see where Nicole was. She didn't know if she was disappointed or sad, but it was not easy to find someone in a hall with thousands of people, and she was not Knowing the other party's seat, the girl had to give up after a few glances.
After taking back her gaze, she thought of comforting Rachel beside her, but she applauded with an indifferent smile.
"It doesn't look like you're very disappointed." Angela asked in a low voice curiously, Rachel was too calm.
"Since we have been psychologically prepared, the blow of disappointment will not be too big, right?" The other party spread his hands needlessly.
"As expected of a Cambridge graduate, this attitude is very good. I believe that you will get the golden statue sooner or later." Angela said with some emotion, "Leonardo should learn from you, even if there is no nomination, he should attend the award ceremony. It's not good to be young and frivolous."
Rachel burst out laughing: "Young and frivolous? Don't you think you're a little old-fashioned when you say this?"
"Really?" The girl pouted and pretended to be helpless: "No way, when people get old, they always rely on the old to sell the old."
That naughty appearance required Rachel to cover her mouth so as not to laugh out loud, she calmed down after a while, looked at Angela's eyes flashing an inexplicable look, and then shook her head: "Okay, don't say it. This, thank you for your blessing."
Next is the award of the best director. As the girl expected, "Titanic" was infinitely close to 2 billion at the box office, so the Film Academy finally awarded this trophy to James Cameron!
When the presenter read his name, the audience burst into applause, and all the people who attended the ceremony from the "Titanic" crew stood up and applauded him warmly.
Excited, James kissed his girlfriend Linda beside him, then stood up and waved his fists vigorously, high-five and congratulated his friends in turn, and Schwarzenegger, who was not far from him in the aisle, also got up and hugged him. .
"Thank you, thank you!" Cameron said as he walked, hugging and celebrating with Mrs. Stewart and Rael. Of course Angela couldn't run away, and was kissed on the cheek by the excited James.
"Congratulations, Mr. Best Director," the girl said, not bothering him about it for God's sake.
"Thank you, you are the person I want to thank the most! Angie!" James said and kissed her other cheek again, causing Angela to roll her eyes in her stomach. Fortunately, he immediately let her go and walked on the stage.
"It's a special day." Cameron said with emotion while stroking the trophy after taking over the golden statuette, with a look of excitement and satisfaction on his face, "Let me think about it, let me think about it, I... should remember how to speak, this very good."
There was laughter.
"Then first thanks to 20th Century Fox, I don't think anyone thinks this is a bad investment anymore!"
Laughter again.
"And then thanks to all the crew members, Rachel, Gloria, Deborah, Antonio, etc. I wouldn't be able to complete this wonderful film without your efforts! Special mention to Angela , without her beautiful soundtrack and vocals, "Titanic" would be half the color! There are many others I want to thank, Linda! Always by my side when I was most upset and irritable; Matthew, Anderson, and North You are the best assistants! And father and mother, I can't stand here without your teaching, I love you!"
The applause sounded again, and James, who had finished speaking in one breath, paused before opening his mouth with a smile on his face: "Finally, I would like to thank the Film Academy for awarding me the best director. I will use one line to express my current feelings!"
He lifted the little gold and shook it vigorously, shouting, "I am the king of the world!"
There was a roar of laughter, and even if someone would slander, there was still applause at the scene. Angela also laughed and shook her head and applauded. She didn't expect that even if it was a year earlier, this guy would still make this flamboyant line before the end of the speech, but then again, he wouldn't be James Camere if he didn't make it flamboyant. Long.
When the final envelope was opened and the guests read out "Titanic", the whole hall burst into thunderous applause again, this excellent film reached its peak, the most nominated and most awarded film in the history of Oscar ! Who could have predicted that the film that nearly bankrupted Fox would reach such a height! So when Harrison, the head of production, accepted the award, the first few words were completely incomprehensible, which caused waves of good-natured laughter.
Angela has completely relaxed, and at the same time she is a little complacent. With the flapping of her own wings, "Titanic" will be unique in the next ten years. What other film can exceed 15 nominations and 12 awards? But it was also at this time that the girl suddenly discovered that "The English Patient", which was nominated for 12 nominations, did not win the first prize! It's been... utterly tragic.
If there were fans of "The English Patient" in the previous life here, they would definitely want to strangle her to death. "The English Patient", which won 12 nominations and 9 awards, won nothing at the 69th Academy Awards! Anthony Minghella's only chance to win the Oscar for best director was abruptly snatched away.
In this regard, the girl can only say sorry, this matter was doomed as early as she was involved in "Titanic", life is like a coffee table, there are always many washing utensils and cups on it! Fortunately, there are no cutlery this time, and not winning the first prize may not be a bad thing for The English Patient. Every year after the Oscars, there are always critics who complain about those excellent films, and this time will be no exception, and It also crashed with excellent movies, and received many nominations but got nothing, and "The Shawshank Redemption"! Consider what critics say about The Shawshank Redemption - the most perfect movie!
"The Shawshank Redemption" is indeed very perfect, but it is undeniable that not winning the first prize also gives it a tragic color. It is conceivable that "The English Patient" must be compared with "The Shawshank Redemption" in the eyes of critics , Maybe someone will scold Oscar for being conquered by commercial films.
Therefore, there is no need to worry about "The English Patient". In the eyes of some fans, it may be an existence that surpasses "Titanic". Besides, the record for the most nominations but nothing is 11. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is somewhat broken. An Oscar record, isn't it? Moreover, the most important thing is not the movie itself, but the director Anthony Minghella!
According to the original history, after "The English Patient", all the Oscar-winning works of this great director have been mixed and unpopular, especially "Cold Mountain" after the 21st century, although it has continued "The English Patient" in love. Delicate and beautiful, but the whole film is slightly lengthy and fragmented, and as a result, it was a fiasco at the box office. Although it was nominated for 9 Oscars, the major awards for best film, best director and best actor and actress were not among them.
Angela didn't remember this very clearly. Of course, even if she knew it, she wouldn't care. The butterfly's wings had already begun to flap. Who knew that these things would definitely happen? So she was very happy to go to the front hall with the other winners after the awards and took a group photo with Uncle Oscar in front of the blue curtain full of golden statuettes. This is the convention of the ceremony. She had already participated when she was a supporting actress. Generally speaking, the best actor and actress, the best supporting actor and actress, and the best director were filmed the most, but today I have to add Angela, who has nothing to do with the performance award. Let her break the record and win three golden statues in a single session, and she is still so young!
"Miss Mason, as the first person to win three Oscars at once, do you think you are accidental or inevitable?"
"All."
"Do you regret not winning the best screenwriter?"
"Do not."
"Miss Mason, how do you feel about the title of the youngest winner of the Best Soundtrack Award?"
"Thank you, I will do better."
As soon as I came out of the sacred auditorium, I was surrounded by questions from reporters. Although the girl was in a good mood, she was not careless. She answered politely and with the simplest words with a smile, so as to avoid misunderstandings and the like until she was in a good mood. The reporters who got in the car couldn't get much worth playing out of her mouth either.
"Let's go to the Century Plaza Hotel!" Angela said to Buckett who was driving, ignoring the reporters who were still filming around the car, and then she took the phone from Pu Guanshui and dialed.
"Hi, Dad, Mom... Thank you, thank you... 12 awards and of course there's a celebration... Okay, I love you, see you later!"
