Birth of an actor

Chapter 216 The 74th Academy Awards

Unlike other actresses who are in pairs or accompanied by family members, Kate Winslet appeared alone on the Oscar red carpet. She was wearing a maple leaf red floor-length dress that matched her blonde hair and snow skin, with one shoulder The design of the belt highlights the plump and white skin on the shoulders, killing a lot of films at the moment of appearance on the red carpet.Everything was perfect except that she looked a little tired.

After posing two simple poses in the media shooting area, Kate Winslet was about to turn around and walk inwards. Suddenly, the media started making noise, shouting a lot of names in confusion, hers, William's, and of course "" "Titanic"—although it has been a few years, the influence of this movie has not weakened at all, but has become a classic that has become more and more profound through time—then when Kate turned around, she saw the man walking towards her. William.

"Ruth!" There were more calls like "Carl", and there were people who kept giving "Jack" a sense of presence.

"Will, what a coincidence!" Kate Winslet smiled in surprise, walked quickly with her skirt in hand, reached out to exchange a hug with William, and took the opportunity to whisper in his ear: "Oh my God, When will they stop calling me Ruth."

——This complaint is helpless and helpless. Kate has been focusing on shooting small-budget independent films in the past few years, just to get rid of the label of "Titanic" as soon as possible, but the effect can only be said to be very small.Two or three years ago she might have been annoyed that people kept calling her "Ruth," but now she's learning not to care.

"Probably when Leo is no longer called Jack." When the two hugged, it was obvious that the surrounding screams suddenly increased by at least two decibels, and William gently hugged Kate Wen Slater said, "By the way, the dress is beautiful, and you look amazing too."

Kate Winslet showed a happy smile, happy to pile up small lines in the corners of her eyes.

"Will Bradley! Kate Winslet! Here!"

William held Kate Winslet's waist lightly with his left hand, and the two looked towards the media shooting area together.

Countless flashes hit the two of them in an instant, and the sound of the shutter even overwhelmed the roar of the crowd for a while.

In order to attract the attention of the two, a reporter took a frontal photo at the right angle. In addition to shouting their names loudly, they also shouted, "You look great!" "Please look to the right!" "Can you give us a Smile? Please!" or something like that.

After the media finished taking a group of photos, William turned his head and bid farewell to Kate. Actresses always need to show longer on the red carpet - just like Halle Berry, one of the nominees for best actress, as early as in William has walked the red carpet before and is still showing off her see-through Ellie Saab gown in burgundy, probably less than a meter from 5 minutes ago - and he wants to hurry in theater.

"We're together," Kate Winslet said. "It's suffocating here."

"Don't want Vogue to do more photos complimenting your dress?"

Kate Winslet turned her head slightly, and covered her mouth with her left hand: "I'm a little allergic to reporters recently."

It sounds like Kate has been suffering from media harassment lately, maybe the tiredness that can't be concealed on her face is because of it?William immediately thought of the other party's marriage that had just ended three months ago.

At the end of [-], Kate Winslet married British director Jim Terry Allerton. William and Leonardo DiCaprio both attended. It can be seen that the love between the two is not fake , I just didn't expect this marriage to end after less than four years.William and Leonardo, as bystanders, both have deep insights. Let’s not mention what William has experienced. At least for Leonardo, his biggest impression is that he must not run away just because he is dazzled by love for a while. marry.

Reminiscent of the British media's usual style of clinging to their mouths when they smell celebrity gossip, William sighed slightly in his heart, with a perfect smile for the camera, but with a little more concern in his tone: "Kate, after the Oscars... If you don't want to go back to cold and wet London, I have a house in Malibu that I can lend you as a vacation."

"Thank you, Will, you're so sweet." If it wasn't for being stared at by countless pairs of eyes, and one careless move would make the headlines tomorrow, Kate Winslet really wanted to give William a close kiss.

The two turned around while chatting, and walked straight out of the media shooting area, leaving behind the crazy calls of the reporters, but there were still countless cameras snapping at their backs, which made several posing on the red carpet very fast. In 10 minutes, the stars who suddenly lost all the attention of the camera looked a little embarrassed.

——There are also countless actors and actresses who secretly vowed that one day they will also be the ones who can easily attract all the media attention and dominate the Oscar red carpet.

There is also an interview area in front of the Kodak Theater, where the media that has been officially authorized by ABC TV has a seat here. It is even more crowded than the red carpet, and there are stars being interviewed everywhere. The overall atmosphere is very good. The Oscars are an annual event in Hollywood. The results of the awards have not yet been announced. For everyone, this is a moment where everything is possible. The media will not deliberately make things difficult for the stars. The questions they ask Most of them focus on topics such as dresses, hairstyles, and moods that don't make people feel nervous at all.

Kate Winslet had no intention of accepting an interview, nor did William. The two walked directly to the entrance of the theater, and suddenly surrounded by two people with microphones and cameras, they waved wildly at William: "The Tonight Show! Will, We're Jay Leno's The Tonight Show!"

William recognized the one holding the microphone. He was indeed the location host of "The Tonight Show". He gestured to Kate. He had appeared on Jay Leno's "The Tonight Show" a few times, so he had to show some face.

"Hey, Will, how are you feeling now?" The location host of "The Tonight Show" raised the microphone.

"I'm a little excited." William said: "The Oscars will be held in the new theater this year, and I can't wait to see what it looks like inside the Kodak Theater."

"You and Kate Winslet are both nominated for the third Oscar, right? Have you met the other nominees? What do you think of them?"

"I met Will Smith and his wife on the red carpet just now. We said hello. They are very nice and very humorous." In fact, William and Will Smith just said "Hi" to each other , took a group photo in front of the media, and patted each other on the shoulder, but Hollywood is like this, you can never have too many good things to say about people you are not familiar with and have not yet had a bad relationship with. "And, yes, Kate and I have both been nominated for a leading role and a supporting role before, and this is the third time."

The location host of "The Tonight Show" really wanted to ask William if he had the confidence to win the Academy's favor this time, but when it comes to the competition for Oscar winner, the war of words has always been fierce. The filmmaker reprimanded him, so he turned the topic to the competition for Best Supporting Actress: "Will, it's obvious that you and Kate Winslet are good friends, and Jennifer Connelly and you look good in "A Beautiful Mind". A match made in heaven, so who would you rather win? Jennifer Connelly or Kate Winslet?"

"Kate Winslet." William replied without hesitation: "Jennifer Connelly is a very good actor, smart, beautiful, and hardworking. I like working with her very much, but if I have to make a choice, I would Will support Kate." William was not asked to be a fair and just judge, of course he will support his friend, but he also understands that Jennifer Connelly is the general trend this year, not only because the other party did perform well in the film, Also because she is Jewish.

The exterior hosts of The Tonight Show seemed satisfied with the answer. They ended the interview, and William and Kate walked into the Kodak Theater before the rest of the media gathered around.

……

Those who have participated in the Oscar Awards Ceremony in the Temple Auditorium will be shocked by the splendor here when they come to the Kodak Theatre.

His mother was a theater actor, and David Rockwell, a New York architectural designer who was educated in Broadway theaters since he was a child, was in charge of the interior design of the Kodak Theater. He only used two colors of gold and red to decorate the theater in a graceful and luxurious manner. Retro style, the clever thing is that the sides of all the steps are made of red, the guests stepped on the steps to the main hall, just like stepping into a red carpet, and the material of the steps was also specially selected for the high heels of the ladies.

It is said that the cost of the Kodak Theater is close to 5000 million U.S. dollars. This amount is undoubtedly an astronomical figure, but the academy has a good way of making money. The combined cost of Kodak’s title sponsorship and ABC’s Oscars broadcasting ceremony is [-] million U.S. dollars. Still have to earn.

Many people stood bustling in the front hall of the theater. Producers, directors, and actors took this rare opportunity to expand their contacts. The seats of William and Kate were not arranged together. When they walked into the theater, they saw Judi Dench After waiting for a group of British actors, Kate Winslet patted William on the shoulder to say goodbye to him, and walked towards the small circle of British people. William also met the "Lord of the Rings" crew.

Oh, and Christopher Nolan and Jonathan Nolan, two brothers who were nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing for "Memento"—which, of course, was also funded by Willott. Yes, although the box office is not high, but the word of mouth is excellent, and it has also made the Nolan brothers famous in Hollywood. If Christopher Nolan wants to set up a commercial blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars now, not only will there be a big studio If you are interested, investors will come to you in an endless stream.

"Hi Will, this is my girlfriend Jane. Jane, this is Will." Seeing William, Tobey Maguire, who had just walked into the theater, hurried over with his girlfriend in his arms. After introducing both parties, he motioned to his girlfriend : "Tonight's ticket was given by Will."

Tobey Maguire has not been nominated, is not an award presenter, and has not yet joined the academy. With the tickets for this year's awards ceremony extremely tight, he will not be able to get free tickets, and because Madeleine and Lance are neither Ready to attend the awards ceremony, William gave Toby his two free tickets.The latter, because "Spiderman" starring in it will be released in two months, and now it is in urgent need of exposure, and the Oscar red carpet is undoubtedly a good choice.

Loosening his girlfriend's waist, Tobey Maguire approached William and whispered into his ear: "Hey, have you brought your medicine? Give me one, no, two."

William gave him a look, quite sure that his doubts had been fully expressed.

"You know, it's Xanax and lorazepam." Tobey Maguire pouted: "The kind of sedative you movie king and movie nominees take before the awards list is announced, so that you can walk on stage It doesn’t make your heart beat fast and your calves tremble when you’re going to — Leo told me about it, by the way, and he’s had a doctor’s prescription for it.”

William raised an eyebrow. "I never take sedatives."

"Forget it. I wanted a few more for Jane. She is an outsider. She was a little too nervous to participate in this kind of occasion for the first time. She couldn't even smile in front of the camera, but our seats were still quite close. Before, it was easy to catch on camera - but, Will, don't you get nervous? And never sweat?"

"Trust me, Toby, a few sips of brandy can solve this problem." William took out a small sterling silver portable flagon from the inner pocket of his suit and put it in his friend's hand: "Give it to Jane."

"Drinking at the Oscars...a genius idea, Will, is this the secret that keeps you looking flattered forever?" Tobey Maguire winked at William and quickly put away the flagon .

William wanted to say that he was not an alcoholic, but that he just took a few sips to relax occasionally, at most a little tipsy, but before he could speak, a person he didn't want to see appeared.

"Hello, Will." When Harvey Weinstein passed by, he stopped to say hello to William: "It's been a while since we met, has it?"

"Harvey, what a coincidence." William quickly responded with a smile.

The two greeted each other as if they were meeting old friends, as if their relationship went back to when Weinstein used William's idea to make "Scary Movie" or William made "Shakespeare in Love" for Miramax. of.It was a honeymoon period.

Others in the theater foyer quickly noticed the meeting of William and Weinstein next to the stairs, as if with eyes and ears all around their bodies, and quickly expressed high interest—William Bradley and Harvey Weinstein’s grievances in this awards season are obvious to all. Miramax’s sloppy slopping on “A Beautiful Mind” is too obvious. Later, Harvey Weinstein was exposed one after another for buying media and bribing academy members , the reputation became very embarrassing, and people did not believe that Willlott was not among them.

Everyone cast long or short interested glances, and those who passed by would even cast a veiled glance here, as if they were expecting some good show to start.

Harvey Weinstein put his arms around William's shoulders affectionately: "I've wanted to congratulate you for a long time! Four movies were released in half a year, and all of them were high box office. In the past few months, Willot's glory has made everyone People are jealous - Will, please tell me, what is the secret to making so many profitable franchises?"

Harvey Weinstein seemed to be trying to inject more admiration into his voice, but it was too much, and his exaggerated enthusiasm made him look like he was wearing a false mask.

What's more, even if his enthusiasm is genuine, William doesn't believe that Harvey Weinstein has any pure good intentions.No profit is probably the best description of this Jew. Compared with him, Amon Goffman is like the embodiment of truth, kindness and beauty of the Jewish nation.

"Luck, a lot of good luck." Compared with Harvey Weinstein, William's smile is much more sincere, and the gratitude in the smile is also real enough: "Like "Lord of the Rings", Harvey, it was you at first Got the rights to adapt it, and because Miramax didn't make it, Willott got the chance. Isn't that just sheer luck?"

Hearing William's words, Harvey Weinstein's smile almost dissipated immediately. These words seemed to add fuel to the fire, causing the Jewish people's unhappy mood to fall to the bottom.In the eyes of Harvey Weinstein, Willot made money that should have belonged to Miramax-yes, he was talking about the "Lord of the Rings" series.

Although Miramax did not get the support of its parent company Disney at first, and did not have enough financial resources to support a large project worth hundreds of millions of dollars, it voluntarily gave up the right to adapt "The Lord of the Rings", but now seeing "The Lord of the Rings: The Reappearance of the Lord of the Rings" "has achieved such a huge success - in terms of commercial performance, the global box office of the film has just passed the one billion dollar mark, and it is in the top five box office in film history. The first week of DVD release has reached hundreds of millions of dollars in sales, and there are also peripheral products that are also astonishingly profitable. , the damn thing is that in addition to commercial, the film also received a full thirteen Oscar nominations! - Jealousy and regret filled Weinstein's chest.

Although as the copyright transferor, Miramax received a transfer fee of 1200 million U.S. dollars, and could also share 5% of the final box office revenue of the film trilogy with Saul Zaenz, the original adaptation rights owner, but the money is in the Harvey Weinstein doesn't seem to be getting enough!

If Miramax had filmed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy at the beginning, they would have been able to get rid of Disney's constraints long ago, instead of being restricted everywhere in filming funds as they are now, and the conflict between the two parties is getting bigger and bigger.

The fat on Harvey Weinstein's face trembled violently, and then he condensed into a smile without kindness: "The god of luck will not always favor a certain person, especially those who have made mistakes when they were young. Be careful to make mistakes and be caught.”

——This is not the line originally conceived by Harvey Weinstein. He originally planned to make peace. In the eyes of the Jews, there are no permanent enemies and friends, only permanent interests.William Bradley is not only a billionaire, but also the most promising actor, and Weinstein has the most extensive contacts in Hollywood. After the tit-for-tat this awards season, they can shake hands and make peace. Cooperation seeks greater development.Although he once wanted to use the photo of the other party when he was young to create a scandal, but in the end this plan still did not come true, right?Since the face has not been completely torn apart, there is still the possibility of cooperation.Now, however, that calculation is completely gone, and the vengeful Jew now only wishes that William Bradley's youthful frenzy left more than that fox's tail.

"'God's Bastard'—did you forget, Harvey, that's what the media always called me."

"That depends on whether you are also favored by God today, Will. I hope that when the members of the academy vote, they will not remember the vase appearance of you and Natalie Portman in the movie when they fell in love."

……

The time for the award ceremony was getting closer and closer, and all the crew members were seated one after another. The upper stage of the third-floor stand in the main hall of the Kodak Theater was lit up, and the guests who were talking softly gradually quieted down.

The symphony orchestra is located under the stage, and the podium slowly rises. The five-time Oscar winner John Williams appears in front of the guests. The eyes of hundreds of performers and all the audience are focused on his gestures. John Williams James waved his baton, and the symphony sounded instantly, which also symbolized the official start of No.70's four Oscars.

The stage with a width of 34 meters and a depth of 18 meters was tightly covered by a golden red velvet curtain. At the end of the curtain, on the steps leading to the backstage, Tom Cruise in a suit and leather shoes was standing there waiting to appear. Nominated, but invited by the Academy to give an opening address.

If the Academy had asked Tom Cruise to be the guest of honor to award some awards such as best visual effects and costume design, he would have rejected it a long time ago—to be the guest of honor for some unimportant small awards is popularity A way for declining film actors to gain exposure through the Oscars, a superstar like Tom Cruise who has always been popular and has box office appeal, has no nominations, and would rather stay at home than come out to show his face—but to do so The guest of the opening speech was still at the first Oscar after the venue was changed to a new theater, and he could not refuse this honor.

What's more, Tom Cruise is very clear that this is the academy showing his favor.

Tom Cruise, who has been a popular superstar since the 80s, has never stopped looking for affirmation of his acting skills—an actor who just wants to make money and doesn’t want to win awards is definitely not a good actor—so he took a series that looks appealing. Oscar's favorite movies, "Rain Man", "Born on the Fourth of July", "The Great Wind", "Mr. Sweetheart", "Magnolia" and so on.

In total, he has been nominated for three Oscars, twice for Best Actor and once for Best Supporting Actor.But without a statuette, people will still regard him as a commercial film actor, and the media and film critics will still ridicule him as an "idol superstar" and "the least likely to win an Oscar to accompany him".

Of course Tom Cruise was not reconciled, so he found director Cameron Crowe, who had won him a Golden Globe Award winner and an Oscar nomination for Best Actor, and made a script tailored for himself-"Vanilla" Sky".

In this grotesque thriller, Tom Cruise played a disfigured character, just to change the academy's prejudice and make Oscar realize that his acting skills are also outstanding.Even when the movie was released later, the box office in North America almost didn't exceed [-] million U.S. dollars, and Tom Cruise didn't care much, because we all know that Oscar doesn't often favor movies with high box office.

But the Oscars still haven't given him anything in return, not even a nomination.

Oh, the academy asked him to give the opening speech, this is how they made up for him, thinking that after a slap, they would give him some sweetness, and he would continue to rush for the Olympics in a daze, creating heat and topics for Oscar.

The Academy should understand that enthusiasm will eventually dissipate. He set a goal for himself a long time ago, to get Oscar recognition before the age of 40, and now he is 40 years old. Anyway, he has been disheartened by the Oscars, too. It's time to stop doing useless work and concentrate on thinking about life problems in the future after the popularity is no longer.

The performance of the symphony orchestra is at its climax. Amidst the exciting music, several cameras in the main hall are not idle. They are scanning the faces of the stars off the stage one by one. The images will be broadcast live to tens of millions of North American audiences. And viewers from nearly 200 countries who watched the award ceremony through televised broadcast.

Tom Cruise's eyes follow the camera to spot his ex-wife Nicole Kidman.

Nicole Kidman sat in the first row of the middle seat next to the aisle, and her position is very good, which means that she is definitely the favorite to win the award.

The ex-wife is very likely to win this year's Oscar, but Tom Cruise has no fluctuations in his heart. Even he knows the public relations strategy formulated by Nicole's agent, which is to re-hype their divorce scandal to create heat for "Moulin Rouge". But thinking of the child that Nicole lost when their marriage was still in place, he acquiesced to these small actions and never spoke ill of each other.

When his eyes fell on William Bradley in the center of the first row, a very strong emotion that could be called jealousy suddenly appeared in Tom Cruise's heart.

Maybe it's not just jealousy, but also a complex of complex emotions such as doubt, wonder, envy, regret, and gloating.

Tom Cruise once felt that William Bradley was very similar to himself: they both had a beautiful face that seemed to be born for the movie, and they were extremely outstanding; they did not work hard until the age of 40 or [-] to become famous like most Hollywood actors. Instead, they starred in several important movies at a very young age, and became Hollywood A-listers in just a few years like a rocket; they are the most commercially valuable stars in the eyes of the studios , has an amazing box office appeal in the hearts of movie fans all over the world. Even if all the movies starring in the box office are not good for a while, none of them really make the movie company lose money; they are very diligent in filming, and action scenes never use doubles In other words, they are often injured because of filming; strictly speaking, their private lives are not rich, they are not common playboy actors in Hollywood, but they support half of the paparazzi in Hollywood.

But they are so different. Tom Cruise doesn't know whether it is because of the different times or his age. The total box office of William Bradley's movies has accumulated to an unprecedented astonishing height, but in the eyes of the media and fans Still not recognized as a commercial film actor, and Bradley's winning luck is much better than his own, Europeans seem to like him very much, France, Italy and even the arrogant and indifferent British are willing to award the best actor trophy to he.

Plus, they've both been troubled by gay scandals.Once the media started to catch rumors, Tom Cruise was like an enemy. He even took several magazines to court for this, and swore in media interviews, but even so, homosexual news still followed him like a shadow.William Bradley also faced the same trouble as him, and the other party's reaction was no response!Don't clarify, don't refute, don't care!This extraordinarily frank attitude, on the contrary, made the media no longer catch the wind.

All of this, rather than making Tom Cruise feel the unfairness of fate, it is better to say that he is more confused, amazed and envious.

Perhaps the only one who truly treats them equally is Oscar.Tom Cruise thinks that the most similar thing between him and William Bradley is the running situation at the Oscars.

The symphony was entering its final climax, and the assistant director, wearing a headset, reminded Tom Cruise that it was time for him to appear.

Tom Cruise adjusted his bow tie one last time before stepping onto the stage of the Kodak Theatre.

A light shone directly on him and moved with Tom Cruise, and when he took center stage, John Williams gave a final wave of his baton and the music stopped.

"The great director Billy Wilder was once asked, what will make the audience remember a movie? His answer is very simple..." Tom Cruise wore his signature smile, facing thousands of guests and camera, read out the long memorized speech.He tried his best not to look at the first row below the stage, those people who were most likely to win the Best Actor and Best Actor tonight, maintained his demeanor and composure as a Hollywood heartthrob.

……

The red curtain on the stage slowly opened, signaling the official start of No.70's [-]th Academy Award Ceremony.

When the host Whoopi Goldberg, wearing a brilliant silver dance dress full of feathers, descended from the sky to the middle of the stands, and walked towards the stage while winking at the audience, the audience cheered. Laughing, the crew of "Moulin Rouge" laughed and applauded.

Everyone can see that Whoopi Goldberg's outfit at the moment is a tribute to Nicole Kidman's appearance in the movie "Moulin Rouge"-this is not the first time she has made fun of the nominated movie, Ubi Bee Goldberg hosted three Oscars in 1994, 1996, and 1999. At the 1999 Oscars, she once dressed herself as Queen Elizabeth I, and at the same time paid tribute to the two best picture nominated films of the year "Shadow". Weng in Love" and "Elizabeth".

It's just that compared to Nicole Kidman's beautiful face and graceful figure in the movie, Whoopi Goldberg's dressing effect is undoubtedly much more funny. She even performed exaggerated dance moves on the stage, calling herself Acting as a "sexy baby", and imagining that all the men in the audience must be "watching" her, Julia Roberts in the audience couldn't help laughing, her mouth was so long that even the molars in the back row were photographed by the camera.Obviously Tom Cruise, who gave the opening speech before, has been responsible for the serious part, Whoopi Goldberg now only needs to make the audience and the audience in front of the TV laugh.

Whoopi Goldberg's hosting style has always been bold, known for her exaggerated attire and sharp words, as well as the pornographic jokes that pop up from time to time, making her stand out among previous Oscar hosts, such as this year, As soon as she appeared on the stage, she satirized: "This year's awards season has a different atmosphere. It seems to be running for president. People expose their scars and pour sewage. All nominees are discredited. Don't make more negative news. Especially the ones that just look like bullshit. Like today I got an email saying - Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings is an anti-Semite!"

There wasn't much applause, and many of the guests were smiling awkwardly — one shot was aimed at Miramax boss Harvey Weinstein — but some were laughing and whistling.

"Oscar celebrates its 74th birthday today. At 74, Oscar is the only one who can survive the golden gun in Hollywood." Whoopi Goldberg finished making dirty jokes, and couldn't help but tease the current trend among Hollywood celebrities. The trend of Botox injections to reduce facial wrinkles, "The security outside the Kodak Theater tonight pulled more skin than many of the guests." — on a late-night talk show hosted by Whoopi Goldberg After a roundup of Hollywood snarky jokes and a short film about the nature of cinema, the official awards ceremony finally began.

Best Supporting Actress was awarded first, and it wasn't too much of a surprise when Benicio Ditolu opened the envelope and read Jennifer Connelly's name, which has always been the Best Supporting Actress award Especially after she won the North American Screen Actors Guild Award, the three North American Film Critics Association Awards and the Golden Globe Award, Best Supporting Actress has become one of the least suspenseful Oscar awards this year.

This is also the first trophy that the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" won tonight.

The next award for Best Editing made the atmosphere in the theater tense, because as we all know, Oscar’s Best Editing is always somewhat unspeakably connected with Best Film, especially in the 90s, there were six years of winning Best Editing In the end, the movie took away the best picture statuette.

"A Beautiful Mind" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring" are both nominated for Best Editing, and Ron Howard and Peter Jackson also have a bit of palpable tension on their faces, as a camera pans over both directors , The camera also froze on William. This may be because with the addition of "Memento", three of the five nominated films have been related to him.

The award presenter Will Smith glanced at the audience and read to the list in his hand: "The film that won the best editing is...Piero Scalia, "Black Hawk Down"!"

When the camera was not looking at him, William slightly raised his eyebrows.

William was a little surprised that the best editing belonged to him. After all, out of the five nominations, three were starring him or produced by Willot. There is a three-fifth chance of losing the trophy. It is really not good luck.

But the accident does not represent a denial of this award. In fact, it is quite normal for "Black Hawk Down" to get the best editing-this film is not only directed by the film master Ridley Scott, street fighting is a textbook At the highest level, the battle scenes alone are eligible for the best editing.

However, although it was directed by a master, "Black Hawk Down" was not the most popular film of this year's Oscars from the very beginning, and there were only four nominations. The two most special aspects of this film are that it is adapted from real events , an American-themed war film with a Vietnam War style, similar to "Saving Private Ryan" a few years ago, and another, "Black Hawk Down" is one of the few films that has not been involved in the smoke of public opinion this awards season.

What William cares about is not the award for best editing, but whether there are other hidden meanings behind the award.

For example, only half a year has passed since 911/[-], and the U.S. military is indeed fighting abroad. Will war-themed movies get extra points?And, the smoky Oscar public relations seems to have annoyed the whole of Hollywood. When the academy judges voted, were they more influenced by public relations methods, or did they have a psychological rebellion against media public relations, and they voted more against it?

'Perhaps, this will be an Oscar full of variables. ' thought William.

……

"This year's Oscars are so difficult to predict. The Best Editing and Best Cinematography have been awarded, but I still can't guess who will be the Best Director and Best Picture."

"It is true that the best photography went to "Lord of the Rings" and the best editing went to "Black Hawk Down", but "Black Hawk Down" was not nominated for best picture... Maybe "Lord of the Rings" is going to be a big winner ?”

"Impossible! Have you forgotten the unspoken Oscar rule of 'Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Stand aside'?"

"By the way, have you all watched the live broadcast of the red carpet before?"

"Look, Kate and William interacting on the red carpet are really warm!"

"William was still looking at the ground, worried that he would step on Kate's skirt, hahahaha he looks so cautious."

"The reporter who called 'Carl' 'Ruth' at them must have done it on purpose! Especially the one who called 'Jack'!"

While the live broadcast of the Oscar Awards Ceremony, a large number of movie fans gathered in the IMDB discussion area, on HSO.Com,
