It's still the Kodak Theater, and it's still crowded. Although the Oscars are held every year, and although the ratings of the Oscars have been declining in recent years, there are still so many people flocking to it when it is held.
Most of them are reporters, entertainment reporters, and here, you get a lot more news in a few hours than in a day before, you don't have to chase around, and these celebrities who attend the awards ceremony will deliberately use body language Or some other way to reveal some useful information to them, so the reporters are very busy at this time.
There was a private exchange: "See there, Drew Barrymore and Cameron Diaz went in one after the other, and at least 50 feet apart, obviously the previous rumors of discord are possible of."
There were also loud shouts: "Come on, guys, Jennifer Hudson is here, and she's holding a man."
In short, there is no exclusive news in this case, everyone is exchanging intelligence and information to some extent, even if they are competitors. If you want to win, then work hard on reporting, so this is also the biggest breeding ground for all kinds of gossip.
"Hey, tell me, what expression will she have this time, this is the first time since 1998."
"Are you an idiot, what kind of expression will she have in this situation, is she going to show us a sad face?"
"There's always something to regret, isn't it? She can't really pretend to be completely indifferent."
"Who knows? She's a good actress. But then again, will she be at the Oscars?"
"Why not? Why should she really bother about not being nominated for best director?"
"Yeah, she doesn't lack this honor, and it may be more credible to say that she is troubled by Google's soaring stock price."
It's no wonder that journalists are so arguing. Everyone knows that getting nominated is mostly a matter of strength, and getting a trophy is mostly a matter of luck. There is also the factor that Angela is too dazzling, and no one has been nominated for best director seven times in a row like her. Coupled with the fact that some guys who have been talking bad words for decades have spared no effort to stir up public opinion, it is inevitable that some people will look at her with different eyes from before, especially these reporters who are looking forward to big news every day. Of course, there is no gender factor in this, needless to say.
So, although Angela doesn't care, she still can't escape being viewed with colored glasses. They are not her after all. I don't know what she thinks, but then again, even if you know what she is thinking Woolen cloth
"Even if I tell them in front of everyone that I don't care if I'm not nominated for best director, they still write whatever they want when they return to the newspaper." Angela said to the woman beside her, a decent dark gray handmade The women's suits set off her curves just right, filling her with an intellectual and strong woman's temperament.
"Indeed, I have a deep understanding of it." The woman beside her nodded. She was wearing a light-colored and deep V-neck evening dress with thin shoulders. It doesn't look glamorous. Of course, if the chest is not so flat, even a little bulge can double her charm.
While nodding to the people around her, she whispered in a playful tone: "You walk with me like this, and you are so close that you won't be afraid that they will be featured in tomorrow's newspaper?"
"It doesn't matter, dear Kayla, there are more than one or two reports like this, and everyone is tired of it," Angela replied in a low voice, "except that we are kissing in public here."
"Why, you don't think you dare?" Kaila's eyes suddenly became provocative.
"Okay, okay, you are the British Rose who is brave and fearless, how can you dare not." Angela said in a lazy and somewhat rude tone, and then hummed softly: "If not... Would I dare?!"
Kayla pursed her lips, suddenly sighed in a low voice, and resumed her characteristic smile with a little pride before others noticed, and continued to deal with the reporters on both sides of the red carpet. Although these guys, as expected, brought up the matter of Kayla's public confession, and although the scandal about the two of them living together in private was widely circulated, the two still flirted with a few words to stop them. This kind of scene will appear as long as the two of them attend public places at the same time, and they are used to it. Not to mention them, Angela and Kayla are, in a way, living together.
It took about 20 minutes for the two of them to walk through the red carpet, which was not long, and then chat with some familiar people at the entrance of the theater before walking in.
"Although I have been here two or three times since the Kodak Theater became the designated host for the Oscars, I still have different feelings, which is really interesting." Looking around the half-filled hall, Angela said with some emotion.
But she didn't tell Kayla. Kayla had already gone to the other side. The "Pride and Prejudice" crew was far apart from the "Father" crew, and they separated as soon as they entered the hall. She didn't say it to other lovers either. Although everyone except Avril attended the Oscars, no one sat beside her.
As for the reason, it's very simple. If everyone was sitting next to Angela, what would the other guests think? What about the audience in front of the TV? More importantly, Kayla is going to act with the "Pride and Prejudice" crew, even if she wants to sit next to Angela crying, and she will definitely be very unhappy if she sees other people around Angela - even if her mouth Don't say it. In this case, everyone sat down separately, it was just an awards ceremony anyway.
"Because this is the Oscars, this time of year is full of suspense, and of course there is fun if there is suspense." said the black man sitting beside her, with short black hair and neat stubble, quite masculine.
"Speaking of suspense, although your performance in "When Happiness Comes Knocking" is perfect, Will, I don't think you have a high chance of winning the best actor." Angela said to the black man with a smile.
This guy is Will Smith. Angela happened to learn about Chris Gardner's story through the godfather when Angela made a cameo in "Black Super SWAT 2", and got the right to adapt his personal biography from the other party. , so he made an agreement with Will that he and his son Jaden would star in the movie when the time came.
Because Jaden was too young at the time, the film didn't start shooting until the year before, and then it was delayed until last year for one reason or another. However, Will, who lost 25 pounds for the film, performed perfectly, more perfect than Angela remembered, and naturally won an Oscar nomination for Best Actor.
"I know, I'm mentally prepared." There wasn't much surprise in Will's expression.
"Already mentally prepared?" Angela raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"Of course, unlike you, I'm a regular at the Oscars, and I don't have that many qualifications to add to my advantage, so..." Will shrugged, "I'm very happy to be nominated."
"You're very open." Anchora laughed. "If everyone was like this, there wouldn't be so many disputes - but then again, it's not the first time no one is nominated and won the award."
"So I just think my chances are very small, the smallest among several people, and I don't say that I have lost." Will laughed, showing his white teeth, "so I don't take it easy. ."
"Okay, in short, your chances are not absent, it's just very, very small." Angela said in conclusion, waved her hand and laughed again: "However, the reason I say this is different from yours."
"Oh?" Will looked curious, "Then what's your reason?"
"First, think about the years between Denzel Washington and Jamie Foxx for best actor; second, this year's Forest Whitaker has the same strengths as you. But most importantly, —" Angela took a long pause before continuing with a smile, "Although your father is excellent, my father is even better!"
As she spoke, she glanced at Al Pacino, who was sitting in the front row and talking to the people beside him. Al, who felt her gaze, immediately raised his head: "What's the matter, Angie?"
"It's nothing, I'm helping you blow your competitor's confidence." Angela pointed at Will with a smile.
The two candidates greeted immediately, and Al smiled and waved his hand: "Don't take her words to heart, Will, everything is unknown until the result is announced, it may go with the flow or it may be upset, Angie can't buy it All the judges' names."
"Hey, Al, your words seem to have other meanings in it." Angela raised an eyebrow and said.
"I'm just telling the truth, at best it's a bit exaggerated, unless there's a ghost in my heart or I'm deliberately doing this to hear something else." Al laughed, then turned around and continued to chat with the person just now.
"Well... I think I'll just go here, I have to go back to my place." After Angela turned his dangerous gaze away, Will said quickly, and stood up after finishing his clothes.
Although "When Happiness Comes Knocking" is also produced and distributed by Pixar, it is two different movies from "Father" after all. The fact that the crew is next to each other does not mean that the members can sit together casually.
"That's it." Angela sighed, and suddenly asked again after Will walked into the aisle: "By the way, Will, if I invite you to play a role one day, will you agree?"
Will was stunned for a while, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes: "Of course there is no problem, I will be waiting for you at any time."
"Even if it's a supporting role?" Angela asked.
After a pause of only a second, Will gave a positive answer: "It doesn't matter, as long as you need it."
The number of best actors and actresses born from Angela's hands alone is enough for any actor who wants to make a difference in it to agree to her invitation, so Will Smith's answer was expected by Angela.
It's good that there's now a supporting actor - albeit only a candidate. What about supporting actresses? Angela rubbed her chin in thought. However, she immediately put the question aside, looked around for a while, and after finding out the location of the lovers, exchanged glances that both knew each other before straightening her clothes and looking at the stage, the award ceremony was about to begin. here we go.
The prelude music sounded, the lights around it dimmed a lot, and the noisy conversation was lowered. After a male voice announced the start on the speaker, the enthusiastic music started. The host of this year, Ellen De Generous walked to the stage in warm applause. She was wearing a white shirt inside, a dark purple women's suit outside, and her crisp, short hair cut her charm.
I have to say that the Oscar organizers are quite courageous. Actually invited her to be the host of this Oscars ceremony. But it's not surprising to think about it. After Massachusetts announced the legalization of gay marriage in 2003, gay organizations have become more active year by year. The West Coast has always been known for its freedom. Many celebrities support homosexuality. Although there are conservative forces, in this regard It is still necessary to make a statement.
"Good evening everyone, what a great night, we're here to celebrate those who have been nominated. This is just the opposite of what we did in previous years, when we mostly only celebrated for those who won." Allen's opening remarks were immediately exchanged. There was a lot of laughter, and on the other hand, the beginning of the awards ceremony was announced.
Angela's mind was not entirely on this. Instead, he wandered out of the sky and thought about his own affairs, and only let Sparrow beside him remind him at important moments-in fact, Sparrow originally wanted Alizee to follow him, and he had planned for Alizee to follow this agent. In the position of a person, Angela also acquiesced to his actions and Alizee did not object, but these things cannot be done in a day or two, so Angela still asked him to attend the award ceremony.
It can't be said that Angela doesn't respect Oscar, but she will inevitably feel a little tired if she participates more times. Although she also admits that every time she comes, it is basically a little fresh, but there are still too many similarities, and she Don't need this stage to express yourself like other stars.
Ellen DeGeneres' hosting style is still very good, natural and witty, making the guests laugh from time to time. In addition, there were interesting links in the middle of the awards, and every award presenter liked to make a few jokes, which attracted a lot of attention to the stage, so no one noticed Angela's strangeness.
Of course, she can't be like this all the time. After some technical awards were awarded, the scene soon ushered in a small climax - the best supporting actor and the best supporting actress!
"The winner of the Best Supporting Actor is Eddie Murphy, "Dreamgirls"!" With the announcement of the last Best Supporting Actress Katherine Keener, the hall suddenly burst into warm applause.
Eddie Murphy in a black suit covered his mouth and looked at himself on the big screen in disbelief. He was stunned in the seat and was pushed twice before he reacted, got up and walked to the podium to receive the little golden man. When he stood in front of the microphone to give a speech, he opened his mouth several times but could not speak. It elicited a good-natured laughter. It's no wonder that this is the first Oscar he has won in so many years. It's normal for him to be a little gaffe like this.
Angela couldn't help but think of what she looked like when she got the golden statue for the first time, it seemed... didn't feel anything at all? She squeezed her fingers and shook her head, maybe she can go up and feel it later
As soon as the idea came up, Angela threw it aside. She had already won the Best Supporting Actress twice, and the chances that the Academy would hand this golden statue to her were too small. I can see that Streep has been nominated for more than ten times in the two acting awards, but there are only two of them.
At this point, Eddie Murphy on stage had adjusted and returned to his place after thanking the long list of names. Allen made a gag on stage again, and after another show was performed, last year's Best Supporting Actor winner George Clooney appeared in the audience's sight, and Angela immediately sat up straight.
"Now I'm going to make a tough decision," Clooney said. "I'm going to present the trophy to one of the five best actresses—even though they're no better than each other in my opinion. ."
Applause broke out immediately, he smiled and paused for a few minutes before continuing: "One is a girl who is striving to pursue her dream, the other is a discriminated nanny, and the other is a helpless and painful deaf-mute. A young girl, a teacher struggling with the scandal, and a daughter who cares about her father but doesn't know how to express it."
Every time Clooney reads out a general profile of a person, the screen behind him will reveal a clip of that person in the movie, and the last time it will list the headshots in sequence. Although only a small piece of the shot was given, it can still be seen that all three of them were a little excited, only Blanchett and Angela smiled calmly.
Is it necessary to be so excited? Angela couldn't help but murmured. Her words obviously belonged to standing and talking without back pain. Few people can take the small golden people to their homes like her, and those who have really won the award will be much duller again. For example, Blanchett will be so calm because she won the Best Supporting Actress in 2005, and she is very clear that her chances of winning this time will not be too great.
"Okay, let's see... Who will be the winners, to be honest, sometimes I really don't want to be the presenter, it's a cruel job." The fifth diamond king on the stage has already opened the envelope in his hand , his one-liners elicited a burst of laughter. Clooney's smile suddenly turned into surprise after seeing the name above.
"I don't know if it's a record," he said, looking at the audience and then at the list of winners, "but... I know we're all going to be shocked tonight, and it's Angela Mason who won Best Supporting Actress. , "Father"!"
