The process of the 86th Academy Awards ceremony seemed a little turbulent. Although there were some unexpected results, it was generally within the expected range. Instead, Ellen DeGeneres' interaction with social networks stole it. Most of the focus of attention has caused a lot of discussions both online and offline.
Until the Best Supporting Actress Award broke out, causing a tsunami of stormy waves, and in one fell swoop, the established pattern of the entire awards season was reversed.
The awards ceremony is finally starting to get interesting.
In the second stage, the full-scale and powerful "American Hustle" successively lost the Best Costume Design Award, the Best Art Direction Award and the Best Supporting Actress Award, although there are still many awards left in the awards ceremony, and This work was shortlisted for nominations, but the competitiveness has declined across the board, and the competition for best picture has officially been announced.

This also marks that all the efforts of the "American Hustle" crew in the second phase are in the mirror, looking like flowers but in the end it is just a mirage.
Relying on the momentum of "race/ethnic/card", the "Twelve Years a Slave", which led the second stage of the awards season, was severely damaged. The best supporting actress department was originally a foothold for them to launch a counterattack, but now they have been upset. The forward momentum has suffered a blow. Although it is still not completely hopeless, the situation is not optimistic. The uncertainty of subsequent awards is continuing to rise, and the melee situation may bring any kind of unexpected ending.
On the other hand, "Gravity" has jumped to the top seed of the best picture in one fell swoop.
Before the second stage, Warner Bros.’s academy public relations suffered repeated blows. In addition to the small actions of Weinstein and Thomas Tull, the most fundamental reason was positioning. The lack of emotional cards of race and the American dream was just a matter of absolute strength. Fighting, this is really difficult to break through in the awards season. Everyone knows that this game has never been a contest of absolute strength. This makes "Gravity" passive again and again.
The fact that the opening stage of the awards ceremony was completely ignored is the most direct manifestation of Warner Bros.’s incompetence: in the second stage, the “Gravity”, which was a strong leader in the nomination stage, was squeezed to the third seed step by step, almost completely lost. , the situation is not optimistic. This also makes for more suspense when the technology awards are presented.
But now, after sweeping the technical awards, "Gravity" has made an incredible breakthrough in the best supporting actress department and also the most important breakthrough, turning the whole situation in an instant.
Suspense rises sharply!
It can be concluded from the side that the limelight of "Twelve Years a Slave" and "American Hoax" in the second stage was too strong. , "Gravity", which silently opens the way with strength, has quietly won more support.
All of this is reminiscent of the last Oscars: In the battle for best director, "Escape from Tehran"'s Ben Affleck unexpectedly lost his nomination, sparking a lot of controversy, followed by "Lincoln"'s Steven - Spielberg and David-o-Russell of "The Line of Happiness Behind the Clouds" were the biggest favorites, and the second phase of each other's signs could be described as temporary, but the result was always the third seed With the "Fantasy Drifting of the Youth Pie", Li / An of the splendid army, won the second best director award for himself, and detonated a lot of exclamations.
Now, a similar picture appears to be happening again.
So far, tonight's awards show has presented a very different picture, a far cry from the previously predicted trend, adding even more excitement to the battle for best picture.
Could it be that Allen's joke at the opening stage is really going to be reversed
Following the Twitter frenzy, the awards ceremony itself is starting to get interesting, which is a good thing.
But there's one more thing that needs to be done before getting back on track for awards shows.
Ellen DeGeneres appeared on the stage again, with a big smile on her face, "Congratulations to Rooney again! Wow, your dress is so beautiful!" Ellen also complimented him, deliberately using "Man looking at pretty woman" glanced up and down Rooney, who was leaving the stage, and said, "I almost whistled."
The guests at the scene could not help but let out comprehensible laughter, but the smiles of men and women have different meanings.
Immediately afterwards, Allen snapped his fingers, "Yes, yes, good news, pizza is here!" Then, Allen turned around and waved to the side table.
A young man in a red hat, wearing a black t-shirt and a gray hoodie, with a restrained and shy smile, walked out with uneasy and careful steps, looking at the crowd of stars in the audience, as if he didn't know What kind of expression should be made is more appropriate, the whole person seems a little dull.
Allen enthusiastically greeted him and patted the man's arm, "Come on, come on, let's go down from here."
The man stepped forward cautiously and followed Alan down the steps, but then Alan smiled and said, "I lied to you, we are not going back to the backstage, we need to provide door-to-door service."
At this time, the guest audience noticed that Allen was holding a round plate in his left hand, with a thick stack of disposable plates on it:
Alan is serious! Ellen is really ready to hand out pizza live at the Dolby Theater!
Make up the picture: the awards ceremony is in progress, but the guests are sneaking pizza, like a child who is sneaking snacks in class, it is really exciting
Let’s make up the picture again: the guests at the scene are carrying disposable dinner plates and are not ready to eat pizza, but they can’t put the pizza on their laps because they may stain their dresses, which is even worse, so it can only be like this It was held in his hand awkwardly, showing a tray state throughout the whole process, and the picture was too beautiful to look at.
To eat or not to eat
These are all extremely embarrassing scenes, and then, the guests on the scene looked at Alan's expression really wonderful, it seemed that everyone was hesitating and struggling: What if Alan came over? How to do!
The live broadcast camera tightly locked the figures of Allen and the delivery boy, but more pictures could be seen in the corners of the camera, and that was the most exciting content at this moment.
"We have pastoral pizza with tomato sauce, and cheese flavors. There are several different flavors. Who's hungry? Everyone here?" Allen has come to the audience, "Come on, help me, I didn't Having done these things, we have..." Chiwetel Ejiofor, who was sitting at the outermost edge of the first row in the right area of the scene, reached for a box of pizza, and Allen's words were interrupted, "You want a The whole box? Really?"
Chiwetel said with a smile, "I won't eat the whole box, I'll help distribute it."
"Okay, okay!" Allen was also in a hurry, standing there for a while, "Brad, Angie, can you help distribute the disposable dinner plates?"
Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie sat behind Chiwetel, and they also stood up one after another, taking the dinner plate from Allen.
Renly, who was sitting on the other side, had just taken his seat, his eyes hadn't completely left Rooney, and then he saw Allen and a... A delivery boy appeared together, he was also full of question marks, his thoughts paused for a moment, brows He couldn't help frowning slightly, and then he heard Kate's low laughter coming from his ears.
Renly turned his head to follow the voice, and Kate's face full of smiles appeared in front of him, "It's really rare for Lord Renly to have such a confused expression."
Renly pursed the corners of his mouth lightly, "I'm an ordinary person too." Kate raised her head and laughed heartily, "So, what the hell happened here?"
Before Kate could answer, Ellen turned around. "Hey man, I can use some help now, how are you, are you ready for pizza?"
Renly looked at Alan in a panic, stretched out his hands, and tried to help, but... he's really not good at it, whether in New York or Los Angeles, he's been banned from the kitchen, even the simplest He is also inexplicably able to screw up the table setting work, and he looks clumsy, as if his hands and feet are out of harmony.
Allen caught Renly's astonishment, she tilted her head from side to side, "Okay, I can accept it." A simple sentence successfully made the surrounding audience chuckle collectively.
Renly himself shrugged, expressing his "confession", "But wait, wait a minute, who can tell me where these pizzas come from?" Renly looked directly at the delivery boy standing beside him. Brother, "Hey, can you tell me the ins and outs of things?"
The delivery guy brought the pizza in his hand, "I got a call saying that the Dolby Theater had ordered three pizzas, and that's what happened, and then I showed up here." He also had a question mark expression on his face. , Obviously, he is also in a fog, and he has not been able to understand what is going on now.
Allen took over, "Hey, who's your favorite movie actor? They're all here, you can chat with them about your favorite movie."
The delivery guy was a little too busy, his eyes were full of excitement and he looked at the scene, "Uh, uh..." He didn't know what to say for a while.
Renly smiled and said, "There are too many choices, hey, just a reminder, this is Renly Hall, and this is Cate Blanchett." The subtext seems to say, you can choose nearby.
All the guests at the scene could taste the ridicule in Renly's words, and they all laughed.
The delivery boy stammered, "Yes, yes, I like 'Drunken Country Ballads' very, very much. I mean, I went to the cinema to watch it three times and I liked it very much each time."
"Oh, it seems that we have met a veteran movie fan." Kate also sighed aloud.
With the help of the delivery boy, Renly finally got a slice of pizza, and then Ellen's voice came, "Wait, Kelly Washington is pregnant, you need to save some for her."
Immediately afterwards, Alan came over and patted the delivery boy on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go, let's go there! Renly, you can't help at all, we should leave some pizza for us, you still need less. eat a bit."
Renly sat on the spot, holding a dime of pizza, and said with round eyes: "I'm wrong, I didn't take more!"
