The 85th Academy Awards ceremony has come to an end.
After all, "Escape from Tehran" still made history, successfully reached the top, and won the best picture of this year's Oscar!
This also makes "Escape from Tehran" the second film in 13 years since "Driving for Miss Daisy" in 1990 that did not win the Best Director nomination but won the Best Picture Golden Figure; it is also the first film in film history. Four works have achieved such a feat, and the other two works are the first "Wing" and the fifth "Grand Hotel", which is an extremely distant history.
This is an Oscar that has created a lot of history, from the nomination stage to the award stage, from "Escape from Tehran" to Daniel Day-Lewis, from Jennifer Lawrence to Ang Lee, from Adele to Simon Keen, can't be the same. It is amazing to count the many historical records. The academy has ushered in a new era again, and the great reshuffle of the film industry will continue.
Among them, "Edge of Tomorrow" won a golden statue for best sound effects, which was also a pleasant surprise - the subsequent best editing nomination lost to "Escape from Tehran."
Another year of Oscars is coming to an end, and the turbulence of the awards season has finally come to an end, but when the song ends, it is the beginning of the carnival. Tonight is far from over; and after tonight, another awards season cycle begins.

People are always very harsh on idol actors. It can also be seen from the side that after Jennifer starred in "The Hunger Games", she still won the Oscar statuette. This is undoubtedly a huge breakthrough. Perhaps, one day in the future, Christine will also be able to stand on the Oscar stage. However, with the rejection and contempt of "Twilight" by the academy judges, this is estimated to be very difficult.
But after the Oscars, a carnival that belongs to everyone is slowly kicking off, not only actors, but also models, agents, publicists, reporters, professional athletes, and… In other words, as long as they are the top people in their respective industries, as long as they can connect with Hollywood, they may be invited to this event.

Occasion, even a step further, open up to business tycoons, social authorities and media celebrities!
After 20 years of precipitation and development, Oscar Night still relies on the name of "Oscar", but in fact it has broken away from the influence of "Oscar", opened up a new world of its own, and given a new significance.
Entering the Oscar night party, people can see the top Hollywood stars, talk face-to-face with tonight's winners, meet the top management of film companies or public companies, meet the editors of fashion magazines and top newspapers, and even Have a long chat with a business tycoon.
Graydon deftly used the rule of rarity to create a very special admission rule for Oscar night. First, Vanity Fair distributed invitations to all Oscar nominees to ensure the final winner. It must be able to appear on the party to attract more attention.
