In a sense, all awards ceremonies are dividing pork, whether it is Oscar or Golden Brown or Golden Lion or Golden Bear. It's just that at these authoritative and widely-known awards ceremonies, all the pork is divided into high-quality pork. So just like the previous sentence, nomination is a matter of strength and winning is almost a matter of luck.
So, Angela is lucky? After all, not many people can be nominated and won an award after a few years of not appearing in a role. Well, it's true if you just think about it in this regard, but the problem is that Angie has more than one nomination, no less important than best supporting actress, and the jury has more than once divided her other parts of the pork way to replace the best piece given to her.
Well, it's not over yet. Angela shook her head slightly and refocused her attention on the stage.
The awards have been sent out one by one, and the nominations for the best costumes, best sound effects, best art direction, best visual effects, etc. in several technical categories are basically divided by "Moulin Rouge" and the first film of "The Lord of the Rings" . However, "Brokeback Mountain" is not without success, and it easily defeated "The Lord of the Rings" in the best photography to get it.
"The Devil" has only two nominations, so it was never mentioned after Best Supporting Actress. Strangely, Angela didn't increase her worries about Kate because she won the best supporting actress, and she couldn't say why, maybe it was because she knew a few of Kate's opponents better
Naturally, Nicole didn't need to say it. In her memory, she didn't get the title because of this movie, and naturally she won't now. Even if there are variables, it will not be too big. How many of the best actress winners of the previous Oscars were won because of their glamorous images in the movies? And Renee Zellweger, to put it bluntly, she will always be better than the heroine as a supporting actress. Besides, "BJ's Single Diary" has only this nomination or a British movie; as for the other two nominated actresses, Cissy Spacey Gram and Judy Dean, although they both have the advantage of age, the former has won the best actress and the latter and Zellweger have the same problem that the supporting role is better than the protagonist. In this way, the possibility of Kate winning the award is still very high.
But for some reason, Angela always felt that the nomination list was a little weird and seemed to be missing something. But she couldn't think of what was missing for a while, so she shrugged and gave up thinking again.
Although the host Whoopi kept changing her clothes, the number of times was not as shocking as in the 71st class. In addition, she spared no effort to adjust the atmosphere of the scene, and the whole award ceremony was full of laughter.
Although John Williams was nominated for best soundtrack for "AI" and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the award went to Howard Shaw, who scored "The Lord of the Rings". Williams said that she would not mind, so she would definitely not mind, but Angela was still not reconciled. After all, this time she was nominated based on her own strength.
Of course, this dissatisfaction soon passed. As she said before, Howard Shaw is absolutely qualified to get a golden statue by the means of perfectly integrating those two tasteless soundtracks into the whole. As for myself, it doesn't matter, it will be a long time in Japan, and there will be opportunities in the future.
In addition, Angela also regrets the loss of Randy Newman a little bit. After all, there are not many cartoons that can be nominated for the Oscar for best soundtrack, and they are produced by the Pixar animation department. Randy Newman then pulled back, though, and the theme song for "Monsters, Inc." won best song.
After a song and dance, the award for the screenplay category will be awarded. The best original was given to Julian Fellowes, the screenwriter of "Gosford Manor", and the best adaptation...
"The winner of the best adapted screenplay is Angela Mason, "Brokeback Mountain"!" As the honoree Alec Baldwin read his name, the audience immediately burst into warm applause, but also mixed with a lot of boos .
Angela, who was facing the camera, smiled and shrugged nonchalantly, walked onto the stage and hugged Alec lightly, and then took over the golden man of the best adapted script: "I'm sorry, I broke my promise, I still couldn't. Remembering the names of those who forgot before."
The theater burst into good-natured laughter.
"Thinking about it, this seems to be the first time I personally came to the stage to receive the award for the best screenplay. It's really memorable." Angela said, smacking her lips, "Well, this time I won't thank you one by one. Otherwise, maybe someone will accuse you of wasting everyone's time."
After a pause in the roar of laughter, she said again: "However, in any case, I would like to thank Ms. Anne Prue, without her book, there would be no script and no film. If we say The script of Brokeback Mountain is a delicate villa, so Ms. Prue's original version is the strongest foundation of the villa, thank you for your novel."
Angela, the golden statuette in her hands, smiled and bowed, walked off the stage in applause, returned to her seat and greeted the men and women around her who were congratulating her before sitting down.
"Do you need me to say congratulations again?" Meiweisi next to her clapped her hands in a relaxed manner.
"No." Angela, who kept a smile, replied very briefly.
"It's strange, why are you still not very interested?" Maeves continued to ask curiously, but the girl kept her mouth tightly closed and said nothing, so she had to shrug and said nothing.
The four nominations currently lose one and get two. To equal his 97-year record, the last one must be won. However, from the various signs that have emerged, what are the chances of getting it? If the interest is still high, it must be hell.
Well, don't worry, the ceremony isn't over yet. Angela still comforted herself with this sentence.
With the passage of time, the climax of the whole awards ceremony has come, and the four most important awards of best actor and actress, best director and best film are about to be awarded.
"What an astonishing night, let's congratulate him, the best actor winner is: Denzel Washington, 'Training Day'!" with the voice of presenter Juliette Binoche, next to The screen was immediately replaced by Denzel's face full of surprise.
"Thank you to the judges for awarding this award to me," Denzel, who received the Best Actor trophy, started his speech excitedly. The corners of the eyes of this tall black film star who has played many tough guy episodes on the screen were actually wet. stand up.
No wonder, he should be the second black actor after Sidney Poitier... Wait! Black actor? ! Angela raised her brows. She finally understood why she thought the Best Actress nomination was a bit strange. If her memory is correct, Halle Berry should have become the first black actress at the same time as Denzel Washington.
Was it not nominated? Of course it's impossible. The Oscar judges would never mind launching a black actor and actress at the same time to show their fairness, and Angela collected relevant comments after Kate won the best actress. She didn't see Halle Berry's name in the list of actors who called Qu. So... In this case, there is only one explanation, and the little butterfly's wings are flapping again.
This is too coincidental, right? Angela felt a little incredible, and just fanned out the strongest opponent. Are butterfly wings so powerful? But then again, unpredictability is one of the keys to Chaos Theory. This has happened more than once or twice, and Angela also remembered that several movies that should have been released in the past few years were silent. So if it was really fanned out, there was no way out.
"Okay, let's take a look at the nomination list now." At this time, the guest above has been replaced by Russell Crowe. Last year, he was nominated for best actor and won the award. It is very popular. At this time, not only has he grown his hair, but also Grows a beard.
"Nicole Kidman, Moulin Rouge; Renée Zellweger, BJ's Diary; Kate Beckinsale, The Devil; Cissy Spacek, Incest Love”; Judy Deanke, “The Road Will End.”
With his voice, the five nominated ladies appeared on the screen next to each other, although they all tried their best to appear calm and normal. But there was still anxiety and excitement in the corners of his eyes. Angela bit her knuckles involuntarily. On the one hand, she very much hoped that Kate could win the best actress; on the other hand, if Kate won the best actress, it meant that the next award was basically hopeless.
"Frankly speaking, everyone has the ability to win awards. If I were the judge, I really don't know who to award it to." Russell opened the envelope and glanced at the content, but did not start to ridicule. As a result, there were boos in the theater. .
However, Russell was unmoved and continued to talk about the style characteristics of several candidates until Whoopi in the distance threatened him: "If you don't announce it again, Russell, I will come over and kick you down and read for you. come out!"
"Okay okay, then, the Best Actress winner is, um... Fortunately, I worked with her before this movie," Russell exaggeratedly relieved, "Congratulations, Kate!"
As early as when he said the previous sentence, everyone already understood who the winner was, and immediately applauded in Kate's direction after reading the name. The golden man who has won the Best Supporting Actress and Best Actress in a row at his youthful age can be regarded as a record.
Kate obviously did not expect that she would really win the best actress, and when the camera turned to her, she still stared at the stage and didn't know what to do. It wasn't until the people around her pushed her that she suddenly reacted, and then she covered her mouth in disbelief, and then looked at Angela excitedly for the first time.
The girl who had been watching her for a long time smiled slightly, and made a gesture of please with her hands slightly spread, and the heart that had been raised slightly was completely put down. What could be more pleasing than Kate winning Best Actress? Even if the next thing is really what she expected, it's no big deal, she still has this year. Even if it doesn't work this year, that's even better. At that time, public opinion will only be more biased towards him.
Kate had already stepped onto the stage at this time, bit her lip and took over the golden statuette representing the actress from Russell. Who would have thought that she would actually win the two most honorable awards as an actor in a row.
"I would like to thank a few people, the judges for acknowledging my performance and presenting this award to me; for the great support of the crew, without them I would not have had a great performance; and for my father, who taught me how Go to the show, he will be proud of me in heaven... Finally, I want to thank... Angie, you encouraged me to come here, and you helped me step by step, thank you! Today, now, is My most glorious time!" At this point, she covered her mouth and choked up, her beautiful eyes full of misty water vapor.
Warm applause filled the entire theater again, and even Nicole, who was originally lost, clapped after the adjustment. Fortunately, Kate immediately controlled her emotions, bowed slightly to the audience with the golden statuette in hand, and walked off the stage.
An indescribable feeling poured into Angela's heart at this time, how could she not hear the feelings that Kate hid in those few thank yous. It's a pity that this is the scene of the Oscars. Kate didn't even dare to keep her eyes on her for a long time when she was giving a speech.
After sighing lightly, the girl stood up with a smile and stretched out her arms to Kate who came from inside. Clear surprise and surprise flashed in Kate's eyes, and she hugged Angela without any hesitation. Although they didn't say anything to each other, the hugging each other's arms had already explained everything.
Angela knew that the camera was facing her, and Angela also knew that Jesse and Nat were watching the live broadcast in front of the TV, but she couldn't care less. Angela only knows that no matter what happens in the future, if she doesn't respond to Kate's feelings here, she will definitely regret it for the rest of her life.
Patting the shoulders again, the two smiled and separated, still not speaking, as if it was just an ordinary congratulations between sisters. Only after falling into the eyes of everyone, the applause that had faded away sounded again.
Finally, at the last moment, as expected by Angela, the name of the best director read from the mouth of the awarding guest Spielberg is: Robert Altman!
Even though she was already mentally prepared, the girl couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth. The old guys from the film academy are still the same as they are. They have demolished the east wall to make up the west wall.
Fortunately, she didn't look disappointed. Whether it was playing the expressions of the other losers on the big screen, or when the people around her were comforting her, Angela kept a smile that seemed to remain unchanged for thousands of years.
Although many people thought it was a pity, even the host Whoopi sighed that Miss Angel's luck was really bad after Robert finished his speech, but no one thought that Robert was not qualified for the best director. You know, Robert Altman is one of only two directors to have won three awards at the Golden Brown, Golden Lion and Golden Bear film festivals.
Before and after, including this time, Robert has been nominated for the Oscar for Best Director five times. Unfortunately, he is not good at group dramas and suspenseful themes that are not popular with academics, so he has lost many times before this. A wish.
It doesn't matter, it's not the first time to be humble and respect the old and love the young. You must know that four consecutive nominations and four consecutive defeats is also a record that no one can break. Angela comforted herself so jokingly, as she said before, it's not good now and this year, it's better if it's not good this year, it will only make her more cards. To be honest, she even vaguely expects to be nominated this year, so...
To say that there are still some regrets, there is only one last award left now and that is the best movie. Can Brokeback Mountain win the best movie? Yes, there is that qualification, but it is practically impossible. In a sense, "Brokeback Mountain" winning the best film can be equivalent to mainstream society's recognition of homosexuality, but how can mainstream society allow such a thing to happen unless it has to
However, an accident happened.
"The winner of Best Picture is — oh my god, that's incredible, Brokeback Mountain!" the theater seemed to be doused in boiling water as presenter Tom Hanks shouted. The scoop of oil went in, and there was a commotion.
Although Angela controlled her emotions for the first time, her eyes widened in disbelief. How is this possible? Could it be that the judges' brains are broken? !
This time, she was secretly pushed twice by Mavis before she reacted, but even as a producer and McKinley came to the stage to represent Pixar to receive the trophy for the best film, she was still a little dazed, and her speech was only simple. After saying a few words, I thanked the original author again, Ms. Prue, and returned to her seat. The formulaic smile on her face did not look like she was happy for Pixar to win the best movie for four consecutive times.
"I really don't understand, why are you not in high spirits all night?" Mavis couldn't help but tease.
"I'm just wondering now, why did the Film Academy award the best film to "Brokeback Mountain"?" Angela frowned and said in a puzzled way, as if asking Mavis and talking to herself.
"What? You think "Brokeback Mountain" shouldn't be the best movie?" Mavis raised her eyebrows.
"Well..." The girl hesitated for a moment, but she told her the question again.
"It sounds complicated. I don't know much about the entertainment industry, so I can't give you much advice." Mavis said after a pause, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, there is news that maybe you can See below."
"What news?" Angela suddenly became interested.
“Almost two weeks ago, gay groups broke out in a massive demonstration in Texas. It started when two gay male couples in Houston were sued for… They are guilty." Mavis said after sorting out her thoughts, "The two men who refused to accept the verdict have now reached the Supreme Court as mentioned above. The parade organized by gays and lesbians is to show solidarity with them. In addition, there are rumors that the Supreme Court may cite precedent to dismiss the verdict. , in which case Texas will be…”
"The 45th or 46th state to repeal the "Anti-Sodomy Law"!" Angela pinched her fingers and took it. Looking at Whoopi who was giving her final speech on the stage, she suddenly understood why the Film Academy would take the most The best film was given to the best director, the lesser of two evils!
