It was almost silent for 5 or 6 seconds, until the sound of the award-winning music was almost finished, and applause broke out. It sounded sparsely at first, but immediately became extremely enthusiastic. Surprise, jealousy, admiration, all kinds of eyes fell on Angela, and she was still sitting in the seat blankly at the moment.
Knowing that Sparrow next to her had pushed her, Angela came to her senses. A strange flashed across her face, she stood up with a smile, and accepted the congratulations from Al and the crew members. She came unhurriedly. to the stage.
"Congratulations, Miss Angela, don't worry, you have enough time to reminisce." Clooney smiled and handed the golden man of the best supporting actress to Angela, and at the same time made a small joke that attracted bursts of laughter.
"Thank you, how about letting me meditate on this for a few hours?" Angela raised her eyebrows.
"From my personal point of view, this is totally fine, but you have to ask Allen and all the audience present." Clooney made a gesture of please and immediately transferred the fire to other places.
"Do you still need to ask me? You don't need to ask me, right?" Ellen DeGenereston in the corner looked surprised, waved his hand and even panicked, "My opinion doesn't need to be considered at all, how can you Want to know my opinion?!"
As expected of a guy with a lot of eloquence, he went around and talked about a big pass without any practical expression.
"Very good, both of them said that there is no problem, so what's your opinion?" Angela said solemnly to the bottom, and the laughter sounded one after another, and the guests were made to laugh constantly by their deliberately funny.
"Okay, it's time to give a thank you speech." Taking advantage of the created opportunity to adjust her mentality, Angela raised the golden man in her hand, "This seems to be the third time that I have won the Best Supporting Actress. , I think I should be most grateful to the judges of the jury, they recognized my performance, they think I am qualified to get this trophy again. Thank you very much, I will continue to work hard, maybe one day I will Here to pick up this trophy, thank you!"
She said and bowed slightly to everyone, and warm applause suddenly resounded through the hall, including George Clooney, who was standing next to Angela, and Ellen DeGeneres on the other side. Just as the applause died down and she was about to go down, she suddenly thought of something and grabbed the microphone: "Oh, by the way, the reason why I didn't thank the string of names just now was not because I didn't want to thank them. It's because I think I've said enough and don't need to repeat it, they should know that I love them, so - don't misunderstand or get angry or anything!"
When Angela said with a serious face, "Don't be misunderstood or angry", the audience burst into laughter again, and then burst into warm applause again.
Answering the seats and accepting everyone's congratulations again, Angela sat down and became a little dazed again, and the little golden man in her hand didn't care and handed it over to Sparrow beside her. She really didn't expect that she could win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress again. After all, she has won this award twice, although the first time was more than ten years ago. Never before in the history of the Oscars has a female star won Best Supporting Actress three times, and she appears to have broken another record.
Angela will not think that her performance is not eligible for the best supporting actress. After all, everyone admits that this movie is the same as the original "Hide and Seek", no matter if it is missing Al or Angela, it will not work. Of course, although the plot of "Father" is a bit cliché, it is more likely to resonate with people than "Hide and Seek". The story reflects the mainstream American values - family and relatives. The judges probably also took a fancy to this point and awarded her the best supporting actress.
But then, Angela began to worry about the award she always wanted: best original screenplay. God knows how much she wants to get it, but the problem is that she has won the best supporting actress for the third time now, and it will be very difficult to win the best original screenplay, even though she has broken many records and rules. .
After the small climax, the technical awards began to be awarded. Previously, the best art direction, the best costume design and so on were awarded, and now it is the turn of the best soundtrack, the best sound effect and so on.
Of course, the best song is also in it, as before, the singer of the nominated song will be on stage to sing before it is awarded, and Taylor Swift will naturally make her Oscar debut. It's not bad. The dress of a shoulderless black top, dark jeans and small leather boots brings a different flavor to the very formal award ceremony, with a beautiful face, youthful breath, good singing and wonderful singing. The song also brought her a lot of applause.
Angela naturally didn't sting her applause, after all, it was a song she wrote, but she couldn't help sighing in her heart when she saw Taylor on the stage. Although she knew that she couldn't express anything to herself with her eyes on such an occasion, Angela couldn't help but shiver whenever Taylor's eyes swept over. After all, all the lovers were present except Avril.
It's okay, anyway, she should now realize that some things are impossible, and she will change her goals soon. Angela comforted herself like this. The recording of the new album has already begun to wrap up before the Oscars, and it will take another week at most to complete everything, and before that, Taylor has lessened her entanglement. Although there is a reason why Angela no longer allows her to participate in the production under the pretext of learning, Taylor has indeed restrained a lot compared to before.
Angela didn't know what the other party was thinking, but she would rather Taylor realized something, and then gave up the transfer target. Well, stop thinking about it, let's focus on the awards ceremony.
The best song was unexpectedly awarded to "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary about environmental protection—well, a documentary to be exact. And it was filmed by former presidential candidate Al Gore.
No one said that the theme song of the documentary can't participate in the competition for the best song, not to mention this "I Need To Wake Up" is very good from the lyrics to the song to the singing, so Angela just shrugged her shoulders when she heard the name. The little one expressed regret. Frankly speaking, she actually wants to win this award. Although she has been nominated for the best song several times after "My Heart Will Go On", she has never won it again.
It's just that I accidentally won the best supporting actress before, if I get the best song now. The hope of winning the best original screenplay in the future is even more remote. Since 1998, she has been nominated for 3 or 4 Oscars in almost every year, but the number of times she has won more than 2 golden figures at the same time is very small, in order to make the chance of winning the best original script higher Losing this award is also acceptable, so Angela is just a small regret.
In contrast, the "Dreamgirls" crew was much more depressed. They had three songs nominated for the best song. In this case, they were able to miss the trophy, which must be said to be a huge blow.
Even so, even though there are many regrets and injustices for "Dreamgirls", the awards ceremony has to go on. After all, at this kind of event, there are always a few happy and a few sad.
The most important awards will soon begin to be awarded, leading actor and actress, best director and best film. This is also one of the most fiercely contested awards, especially those big hits such as "Baby" which won 8 titles. "Bie Tower", the nominations for these important awards accounted for at least half. And the beginning of this is the awarding of the two best screenplays.
"The winner of the best adapted screenplay is William Monaghan, "The Departed"!" As Kate, who served as the presenter, read the words, all the applause of the audience was handed over to the "The Departed" crew.
Martin Scorsese still bought the adaptation rights of "Infernal Affairs", adapted it into "The Departed", and then won several nominations for best film, best director, best supporting actor, etc. , but because of Angela, Martin had already fulfilled his Oscar dream a few years ago, and it is obviously unlikely that he will win the best director this time.
In her previous life, Angela also watched two movies in comparison, because she had "Infernal Affairs" in front of her and her life experience, she didn't think "Infernal Affairs" was so good. It can be said that after watching it, I have no impression at all. Infernal Affairs can still remember Chao Wei's melancholy eyes, sighing beard, and the sentence "I am a policeman".
But looking back at it now is different, especially since she has lived in Boston for almost four years - although the total time may only be two years, and more than a year of which is basically in Cambridge City - which is very important to the entire American history. I have a little understanding of the relatively old city, which naturally includes some rumors related to gangsters. Coupled with the life experience of this life, you can understand some of the things in "The Departed" again.
It's just that the influence of the previous life is still there, so she still holds an indifferent attitude towards this movie. Even if she is shortlisted for "again", she will not be interested. She just took a few shots for it won the best adapted script.
Next is what Angela is most looking forward to, the award for Best Original Screenplay, but when the guest of honor came out from behind, Angela involuntarily raised her eyebrows, because the one standing on top was wearing a white tube top evening dress. , The beautiful woman with short and medium blond hair combed back turned out to be Scarlett!
Is this... a signal from the judges to me? Angela couldn't help thinking like this in her heart. Just like when Barbra Streisand was invited to give her the Best Director award. But thinking about it is wrong. It was Kate who awarded the best adapted script just now, and now Scarlett came up to award the best original. Maybe it was a coincidence
Just when Angela was thinking about it, Scarlett above had already started to talk: "We all know that originality requires more skills than adaptation of the script. Although losing the restraint allows the screenwriters to play to their heart's content, but also once If you go too far, you will lose more than you gain, and only a good balance of these two points can create those wonderful stories!"
She said and looked at the big screen behind her: "Now let's take a look at the nominees: "Tower of Babel", which describes the communication and understanding between people; "Pan", which describes the evil of war in the form of a fairy tale The Labyrinth of the Gods; the Letter from Iwo Jima, which looks at the Pacific War from another angle; The Father, which depicts parent-child conflict; and…”
When Scarlett read "Father", Angela couldn't help but straighten her body, and suddenly a trace of excitement crossed her heart: It will finally be revealed! She couldn't help being a little surprised by her excitement and excitement. I originally thought that I had attended so many Oscar awards ceremony, and I should have been calm, but I didn't expect that there were still waves at this moment, as if it was the first time to attend, or is this the difference between a replicator and an original
"These are all very good works, but unfortunately we have to choose one of them today." Scarlett said with a smile and sigh, then opened the envelope in her hand. She looked at the content inside and immediately showed her undisguised surprise. It happened that the big screen gave her a close-up. As a result, everyone guessed who the winner was.
"The winner of the best original screenplay is Angela Mason, "Father"!" As Scarlett announced loudly, Angela's heart jumped, although she saw Scarlett's close-up. I also guessed it, but after all, it has not really been determined.
Amid the warm applause, Angela took a few breaths, tidied up her suit and stood up. As before, after receiving the congratulations from the people around him, he came to the stage.
"Congratulations, Angie." Scarlet handed the golden figure to Angela's hand and whispered away from the microphone, a pair of beautiful gray-green eyes looked at her with a smile without blinking.
"Thank you, I'm very happy to get this trophy from you." Angela smiled and didn't hide her voice, which immediately attracted a whisper of laughter from below. I am afraid this is really deliberately arranged. Although Angela has been very careful to cover up, there are some things in Hollywood that cannot be hidden for a lifetime, not to mention there are many people here, Nicole Kidman and her best friend Nao Although the paparazzi can't find concrete evidence about Mi Watts's relationship, they can only follow the wind, but many people in the circle are very aware of it. It's just that these people won't talk nonsense even if they know it. Those who can see the clues are all smart, and naturally they won't be stupid to preach everywhere and offend others.
So even if they have seen something about Angela, Angela doesn't need to worry much, not to mention that she and Nicole are different. Just the thought that these guys might know more, like Kate, like Jessie, like Nat, made her less happy.
Well, no matter how unpleasant it is, now is not the time to be concerned about this, Angela cleared her throat and came to the microphone: "Good evening everyone, I didn't expect that I would be here again."
The people in the hall suddenly laughed.
Angela pursed her lips and seemed to be thinking about something in her heart. After a few seconds of silence, she spoke again: "Although I have been nominated for Best Screenplay many times, this is the first time I have won Best Original Screenplay. It feels really emotional.”
It's no wonder that she would say that. It is more appropriate to describe this award in terms of unexpected reasons. At the same time, several scripts nominated at the same time can be said to have their own characteristics. Concerns about conflicts between people in globalization in "Tower of Babel", "Pan's Cave" and "Letters from Iwo Jima" interpret and reflect on the two battlefields of World War II from different perspectives, these scripts are all Has unique characteristics.
It's just that Angela's "Father" has an advantage they can't have, that is, it is very in line with the values of mainstream society! Family, affection. These are things that mainstream values have been promoting, so although the plot is a bit cliché, it is very in line with the judges' appetite, and this little flaw is naturally ignored.
For example, it's like "Good Will Hunting", which won the best original screenplay in 1999. In essence, it is also a YY story. At least Angela has never heard of a handyman in a university who can teach it. All students can not solve the problem to solve. But this story is in line with mainstream values - as long as you work hard and don't give up, you will be successful! In addition, the story is told quite well, so it won the award of the best original screenplay.
"Okay, I don't want to say too much, I'm very excited, I'm very happy, thank the judges, thank all those who support me, I love you, I will try to do better!" Angie had a lot to say Ra eventually reduced those words to this short sentence, then turned around and hugged Scarlett tightly.
The audience suddenly resounded with a warm voice.
"Congratulations, Angie." Scarlett whispered in her ear again.
"Thank you." Angela sent her hand away, and a little mist appeared in her green eyes. She suddenly leaned in front of Scarlett again, and slapped the other person's cheek with a heavy kiss.
There was an uproar in the hall. Of course, they were not malicious. The superficial relationship between Angela and Scarlett was well known, so kissing on the cheek was not a big deal. They were more expressing surprise. .
"I have to admit, Angela looks more attractive in a suit than me," DeGeneres said, clapping his hands a little sadly beside him, "I want to kiss Scarlett too."
"Unfortunately, I couldn't help it just now. Scarlett said that I didn't dare to kiss her in public, so I refuted it with practical actions." Angela shrugged and explained.
The guests laughed again.
It's just that they didn't notice that Angela's body swayed slightly when she walked off the stage. The moment she walked down, a few eyes suddenly shot at her from the crowd, causing her to shudder and almost lose her balance.
Too bad, how could you be so careless? Did you get dazed by the best original script? ! Angela screamed in her heart, and then quickly walked back to her seat. Although she didn't look for the source of those glances, she could use her knees to figure out who these sharp eyes belonged to!
