Birth of an actor

Xavier Dolan is 16 years old this year. He has been in poor health since he was a child. He is a little malnourished and has osteoporosis.Does anyone know how miserable a sick child is?Especially when the kid lives away from his parents in a boarding school most of the year?That feeling was both lonely and painful, and no one could understand it better than him.

But in the midst of solitude, Dolan also has solace, and that's the movies.Because he was born in a family related to film and television, his father is a singer and actor, and he has also shot commercials and guest movies since he was a child. His greatest spiritual food is movies. He endures lonely moments alone. Dolan is always with movies. He is in At that time, I knew Leonardo DiCaprio and William Bradley.

Dolan has watched more movies with Leonardo and William than with two Canadian actors, Jim Carrey and Keanu Reeves. His favorite movies are Titanic and Lord of the Rings It's his everything, his lover, family, friends, he doesn't feel lonely anymore.

And, it's in these films that Dolan completes his sexual initiation, realizing that he's more interested in Jack and the Lord of Gold than in Ruth and the Elven Princess.

So more than two years ago, when Dolan returned to school in the city after finishing his boarding school life in rural Quebec, the first thing he did was write to Leonardo—the reason why he didn’t write to William , because Dolan had already written to him.He was ten years old that year, and was trapped in the hospital alone because of illness. He felt that the whole world was false and cold. It happened that "The Truman Show" was broadcast on TV. After watching the movie, Dolan wrote to William to vent his feelings. Distressed, he sees himself as "the other Truman" in the world.

Only three weeks later, Dolan received a reply from William. The letter was not long, but it was very heartwarming. In the letter, William denied Dolan's idea that he was "another Truman". His parents must be true and love him, and they also said they would pray for him, hoping that his illness would recover soon.

To William, Dolan wrote in sick solitude, when he wanted warm encouragement, and he got it later.That letter kept Dolan contentedly happy all year long, and if he hadn't felt so foolish he would have been sick enough to have William Bradley write him a second letter.

Because his father was an actor, Dolan had guest appearances in film and television since he was a child. He was also the voice of Ron Weasley in the Canadian French version of the "Harry Potter" series of films.But because of William, Dolan has filters for the Malfoy family. Whenever there is a scene between Weasley and Malfoy, his dubbing mood is always wrong. He has been NG many times because he is too enthusiastic. The Canadian dubbing team All the members knew that their "little Ron" had an unnatural crush on "Lucius Malfoy".

Writing to Leonardo this time, Dolan confides his distress about his sexual orientation—he is a confused teenager who finally realizes that he only loves the same sex—after the letter is sent, Dolan is full of ambition at first, He even told his friends that Leonardo would reply to him soon. After all, it only took three weeks for William at that time, but this time, he waited for a long time, probably more than three months, so long that he almost Desperate.

Dolan's friends also knew that he hadn't been able to wait for Leonardo's reply, so they comforted him. Forget it, a superstar like Leonardo would not remember him, let alone reply to his letter. Fortunately, it was nothing more than a wholesale postcard, and those opponents who didn't like Dolan often laughed at his overreaching as soon as they met in school.

At that time, with the encouragement of his French teacher, Dolan had already started writing scripts—he hadn’t thought about what he would do in the future, actor, dubbing artist, costume designer or screenwriter, he was interested in many things—and this script It tells the story of a teenager with homosexual tendencies, which is a bit semi-autobiographical. It also arranges a role similar to a life mentor. Of course, this role must be the projection of William and Leonardo.

Just when Dolan was in a state of disappointment and was about to destroy the script, Leonardo's reply came!There is also a group photo inside, which is a behind-the-scenes photo of "The Aviator". There are not only Leonardo DiCaprio, but also Martin Scorsese in the photo, which is an unexpected surprise.And this letter was actually written by William. This is a very important easter egg and another huge surprise!

There are no words to describe Dolan's mood at the time. Their movies have accompanied him growing up. They are his heroes. Dolan wants to write a script for them and make a movie for them.

After watching "Milk" several times, a certain idea became clearer and clearer in Dolan's mind. Who is he most envious of in this movie?Not James Franco, who could have a relationship with William Bradley, but Steven Spielberg.

Think about it, when he's on a movie set, and everyone on the set looks at him like: What do we do next?

And when he answered with confidence, everyone followed his instructions, including the greatest actors, perhaps including William Bradley and Leonardo DiCaprio.

Dolan will manipulate his crew as if he were manipulating a precision instrument, the texture of the light, the tone of the picture, the setting, the speed of the camera movement, superimposing all the details to create a movie that resonates emotionally with the audience... just that Imagine a sense of satisfaction that can make people feel unprecedented.

Yes, Xavier Dolan has finally figured out what he wants, and he wants to be a director.

He's going to be a director, and he's going to write the best script, work with the best actors in the world, and make the greatest movie.

He will do great things and be great.

……

The box office trend of "Milk" is a tortuous curve.

Although the opening box office was excellent, due to the boycott of "Milk" in many states, the box office in the second week after the film was released dropped by several million dollars compared with the first week.

However, due to the continuous fermentation of good word-of-mouth and the lack of expansion of the film's screenings, the supply in cinemas in many cities has exceeded demand. It is no exaggeration to say that in San Francisco and Boston, the golden grade of "Milk" is really hard to find. , probably only the tickets for the morning show are left - in the third week, the box office of "Milk" reached 3130 million US dollars, and it won the North American box office chart of the week in one fell swoop.

The time for extended screenings has finally arrived. Since the third week, "Milk" has been screened in more than 483 films in 3100 cities across the United States, and in the following three weeks, it has won the weekly North American box office rankings.

The phenomenon-level "Milk" not only ignited the "Brokeback Mountain" that has not yet been released, but also "Capote" and "Slim Daddy" that were released within this year, which also have gay elements, have received more attention.

——"Milk" was released in some art theaters for several months, just like "Titanic" back then, and finally achieved a box office of 2.69 million US dollars in North America and 4.39 million US dollars worldwide, ranking in the annual box office The list is second only to "Star Wars 3: Revenge of the Sith", "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire", "The Chronicles of Narnia" and "King Kong", of which the UK alone contributed 3616 million US dollars at the box office, It also entered the top [-] on the UK box office chart of all time.

Although the box office of "Milk" was not matched by commercial giants, its impact was unparalleled, not only limited to Hollywood, but also to all aspects of society.

"Milk" has promoted the awakening of many gay youths in small towns. After realizing their sexuality, they have been repressing their nature, and they have learned to call some mutual aid organizations to talk about themselves, ask for help, or simply follow the advice of the movie. Leave your hometown and go to big cities such as New York and Los Angeles to find a new life.

One full month after its release, the U.S. Postal Service officially issued a set of postage stamps bearing Harvey Milk's head to commemorate him.

California Senator Mark Leno, who is also a gay Democrat, has submitted two proposals, one is the "Family Protection and Marriage Recognition Act", which requires gay couples who marry outside California to be recognized and legalized in California. Equally entitled, the other is a petition to have May 5—Harvey Milk's birthday—as "Harvey Milk" Day.

These two proposals have caused great waves in California. At the political level, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party in California have started a battle of wits. At the civil level, the California LGBT organization "California Equality" and the conservative group "Save California" have taken turns to organize various support or The protests were also discussed in the media many times.

It is said that the two organizations "California Equality" and "Save California" mobilized more than 10 volunteers to make phone calls and raised more than [-] people to write petitions or send emails to the government for proposals.

In order to promote the proposal's success—and perhaps to increase his own influence—Democrat Senator Mark Leno is planning to hold a press conference on the proposal, and he has invited the cast of "Milk" to participate, and they are going to borrow the media The power to put pressure on the current governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Mark Leno also shouted to the governor over the air, saying that as a Republican, he was able to run successfully in California, the stronghold of the Democratic Party, because of the support of gay voters-this is true, Arnold Schwarzenegger Countless gay voters turned away from the Democratic candidate for governor in favor of him -- and now it's Schwarzenegger's time to give back.

William, who does not have any political inclinations, declined the press conference, but he attended a private party that night, and some actors and their prototypes of "Milk" were there.

William got some good news at the party. Screenwriter Larry Kramer said that since the release of "Milk", Hollywood studios know that it can get both honors and dollars, and they are actively looking for good LGBT scripts. He is no longer avoiding it as before, and some studios are already asking him for drafts. Larry Kramer is going to write his own experience into a script. The background is set in New York in the 80s, when AIDS just started to appear. Tell the story of his former friends fighting against fate after suffering from AIDS.

There is also Cliff Jones, the prototype of Toby's character, himself. How did you follow Harvey Milk to campaign, and still insist on your own way after Milk's death, fighting for the rights of LGBT groups? I heard that although this is only a vague idea, many film companies and TV stations have expressed interest For example, HBO and ABC, especially public channels like ABC have shooting intentions, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.

Perhaps it was because the voices of the people were too loud, or maybe the Republican Party still lost to the Democratic Party in the struggle. The California House of Representatives took the lead in passing Senator Mark Leno’s proposal, and then Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger signed and passed the bill. Since then, May 5 every year in California has become "Harvey Milk Day".

Senator Mark Leno pursued the victory and immediately submitted the same-sex marriage bill, expecting California to become the second state after Massachusetts to allow gay marriage, but when it comes to marriage issues, this will be a protracted battle.

The influence of "Milk" is still continuing. After winning the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival, "Brokeback Mountain" has also begun to be released worldwide, becoming another gay film that has been recorded in history this year.

It is not that no one has compared the two films and tried to provoke competition and contradictions between the two films, but apart from the same theme, "Milk" and "Brokeback Mountain" are completely two types of films.

"Brokeback Mountain" is another monument in love movies, just like "Pride and Prejudice" and "Titanic", but it is a little special because it describes the love between the same sex.And "Milk" has a political vision, which is an area that many other films of the same theme cannot touch. Heaven", "The Great Dictator", "Assassination of Kennedy", and "Fahrenheit 120" are put together.

Many years later, "Variety Show" summed up the two films and said: "Brokeback Mountain" had an impact on the civil level, changing the public's prejudice against homosexuality, while "Milk" had a far-reaching impact on the political level, directly promoting same-sex marriage in the United States. process of legalization.

Starting with the presentation of the Gotham Independent Film Awards, another year of awards season has arrived.

First, the Film Critics Association Awards in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Boston and other cities, as well as the American Broadcasting Corporation and the National Society of Film Critics Awards announced the best lists of the year, followed by "Movie Handbook", "Time Magazine", "Sight and Sound", Global authoritative media such as "Empire", "Vanity Fair" and "New York Times" also selected the top ten films of the year.

The nine-time British Academy Awards BAFTA announced its nominations half a month before the Oscars. "Milk" led the way with eleven nominations. "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" received nine nominations. It is worth mentioning that they also have gay elements. "Capote," the film about controversial gay author Truman Capote's novel "In Cold Blood," also received five nominations.

During this period, Oscar's various bellwether awards began to be issued, such as Hollywood's various trade union awards, producers' union awards, directors' union awards, actors' union awards, screenwriters' union awards, etc., as well as American films that are becoming more and more star-studded year by year. TV Golden Globes.

So far, the popular contestants of this year's awards season have been released. Among the various wind vane awards, the three films "Milk", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" have almost stolen all the limelight. "Good Night, Good Luck", Although the masterpieces "Capote" and "Walk with the Song" have also made gains, most of the time they are running with them.

However, the real climax of the awards season was the moment when No.70 nominations for the eighth Academy Awards were announced—"Milk" also led the way with nine nominations, including Best Film Editing, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography , Best Costume Design, Best Original Soundtrack, including Best Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and other major awards are all in the bag!

Although no media has made a special summary, "Milk" has probably broken the Oscar nomination record created by gay-themed films and become the well-deserved number one in film history.

In addition to "Milk"'s nine nominations, "Brokeback Mountain" also received eight Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director, and "Capote" received five nominations, which tells the story of transgender people and The Son Story's "Totty Daddy" also had two nominations, also a record total.

No wonder the "Film Review" magazine said that this year is a small year for Oscars and a big year for LGBT.

In the future, because of the release of "Milk" and "Brokeback Mountain", because "Milk", "Brokeback Mountain", "Capote" and "Slim Daddy" all participated in the Oscar competition , this year is also generally recognized as the first year of LGBT affirmative film.

……

"How about this suit, understated peacock blue, but beautiful in flash."

"No, it's more common."

"A pair of blacks with black shirts and black suits? The latest fashion trend in the past two years."

Seeing William shaking his head and casually pointing to the most modest suit, Hollywood's biggest fashion stylist muttered: "Black and white, classic, well, the most classic can also be the most advanced."

The costume stylist selected the one with the best texture from among several classic suits specially tailored for William and modified the data, and tried to sell foreign aid decorations, such as a silver chain to attract flashlights. A white silk handkerchief was stuffed in the pocket to add a retro feel. After being rejected, the depressed fashion stylist led his assistants and left the room pushing a trolley full of high-end suits.

Finally, only William and his agent, Amon Goffman, were left in the suite.

They are now at the nearest hotel to the Kodak Theatre, waiting for the No. 70 Eighth Academy Awards in a few hours.

The Jewish manager casually complained about William's indifference to choosing red carpet dresses, but in this awards season, William has probably chosen dozens of dresses for various award ceremonies, so he is really a bit confused at the moment. Aesthetic fatigue, lazy.

But Amon Goffman has never slacked off on winning fame and fortune: "This is an Oscar! And we are very hopeful to win the award. We have successively won awards from the Producers Union, Directors Union, and Editors Union. No film has ever missed out on an Oscar after winning these union awards."

"However, this can only show that the best picture award is guaranteed. The film technique of "Milk" can be regarded as a textbook of academic biographical films. Spielberg has made commercial films for several years, and it is rare to return to art. It's been 12 years since he won the best picture, and the old men at the academy have to give him some face."

The Jewish agent kept talking to himself, as if he had turned into a professional Oscar analyst: "As for the best actor, except for you and Joaquin Phoenix, the other three are nominated for Oscars for the first time, Phoenix ?No, his performance this year is not outstanding, and the Academy just let Jamie Foxx take the best actor with "Soul Singer" last year, and will not let another music biopic win this year. Philip Hoffman's The threat is bigger. After all, he won the Golden Globe Award, and some film critics associations are also very optimistic about him, but "Capote" participated in this year's Berlin Film Festival, but got nothing, and you were the best actor in Berlin last year! You still have the British Oscar and Screen Actors Guild Award, I can't think of anyone who is more qualified to be the Best Actor than you!"

William and his agent have different views. Maybe "Milk" has a higher chance of winning the best picture, but Lionsgate, the producer of another awards season hit "Crash", has already started campaigning to encourage those who don't want to vote The judges of LGBT films chose "Crash" and distributed 14 DVDs in an effort to let all members of the academy watch the movie, because the story of the film took place in Los Angeles, and most of the members of the academy also live in Los Angeles , As long as they have seen the movie, it is possible to have a good impression of the movie.

The same goes for Best Actor, out of five nominees, three are from gay-themed movies, if the academy wanted a "normal" actor, they'd pick Joaquin Phoenix, if they wanted a minority On balance, they'd cast Terrence Howard, a black actor.

Even if the college is going to choose one of William Bradley, Heath Ledger, and Philip Hoffman, it may choose Philip Hoffman instead of William or Heath Ledger, because Hoff Truman Capote, played by Mann, is chasing fame and fortune, hypocritical, exaggerated, cold-blooded and cruel, which is more in line with the usual taste of the academy judges.

After William shared his views, Amon Goffman worried for a while, maybe a few minutes, and quickly put it behind him: "In any case, you are the most popular candidate for the Oscar. The current Academy does not It will make an actor even win the Oscar, unless he first took out "Philadelphia Story" like Tom Hanks, and then met "Forrest Gump", but it has been three years since you won the last award, Three years is enough for them to favor you again."

This is why William feels that "Milk" has brought him enough things, he is no longer so obsessed with Oscar, and he doesn't think the statuette is his own, but he still prepared an award speech—— — If he hadn't prepared this, the Jewish broker would have killed him.

In fact, Amon Goffman suggested that William buy an acceptance speech—a company that used to serve presidents or presidential candidates and write speeches for their campaign speeches has recently moved its business from Washington to Hollywood. Its partners include former White House spokespersons, former foreign ministry spokespersons, and "shadow writers" of the autobiographies of former presidents. They promise to package any speech with beautiful words, profound artistic conception, and full of philosophical significance and humanistic care.

Of course, this ghostwriting service is also expensive, and only the A-list can afford it, or those Oscar nominees who think they are likely to win the award.

Although the Jewish agent highly recommended it and secretly revealed that Hillary Clinton and George Clooney were clients of the company, William still chose to refuse.

Amon Goffman re-examined the acceptance speech written by William himself, and thought it was not the best acceptance speech in history, most of which he had seen at other awards ceremonies - no way, William has attended too many awards these days—but maybe he could add some fresh sentences, the kind that are sincere and shocking enough to go down in Oscar history.

"Shocking? Into the annals?" William pondered. "Maybe I can come out publicly at the Kodak Theater."

"Just kidding hahahaha." Amon Goffman was overjoyed: "Will, you are too humorous."

"Humor?" William just shrugged: "Maybe."

The Jewish agent’s mouth was still open, but no laughter came out. He stared suspiciously at his actor, but William’s expression was calm. After staring at it for a long time, Amon Goffman could only express helplessly, One of the downsides of being an actor's agent is that when your client is good enough, you can't tell if he's telling the truth or acting.

At this moment, Lance pushed the door and came in. He had been with Madeleine in the next suite before, and to be precise, he went to make suggestions for Madeleine.

In this awards ceremony, like Leonardo, William also invited his mother to act as a female companion.He also invited the top Hollywood makeup artist and stylist for Madeleine. You must know that at this time, any top resource in the fashion industry is the most scarce.And each of these people has their own aesthetics and persistence. Even female stars who have been fighting for a long time are often led by the nose when facing them. If there is no reliable person to advise them, the aesthetics of makeup artists and stylists Get into a fight and it could end up being a red carpet disaster.

"How did you choose Madeleine's dress?"

"It's great. She chose a beautiful dress, and successfully prevented the stylist from trying to open the neckline of the dress into a deep V." Lance and William asked after kissing close to each other: "What are you talking about?"

Amon Goffman pretended not to hear the question.

William joked: "Talking about Amy's views on California's same-sex marriage law."

Lance raised an eyebrow and cast a curious look.

Jewish Broker: "..."

Amon Goffman originally wanted to say that if the same-sex marriage bill in California was to pass the referendum, he would definitely vote against it, so as to eliminate any possibility of William registering marriage with a man.However, this is not what he really thinks in his heart, and he can't say it, because he sees that Lance Roderick may have made more sacrifices than William.

If it is said that Lance Roderick often appeared on news talk shows and newspapers and magazines in the early years, Roderick has inherited the family's consistent low-key and even more hidden in the past few years with William. In addition to attending in the names of shareholders in the financial reports of listed companies in his own industry every year, the media has basically been unable to take pictures of him, let alone publish them.

Amon Goffman dared to say that William definitely accounted for a large proportion of this reason. Since William needs to stay under the spotlight all the time, then Lance Roderick managed to make himself "disappear".Moreover, the Jewish agent originally thought that Roderick would accompany William to participate in this Oscars ceremony. As the founder of Willot, a film producer, or a shareholder of Time Warner, he could attend the Oscars, but William But he invited his mother. He said that both he and Lance felt that if they appeared as lies, that kind of company would be false. If they want to appear together under the spotlight in the future, they must show their real relationship.

I have to say that for a moment, Amon Goffman felt that he was moved. Although the time of being moved was very short, the Jewish agent had long been immersed in the invulnerability of the big dye vat of Hollywood, and he had not experienced it for many years. over this emotion.

"I hope... different people will have different marriages. Maybe some marriages have husbands, some don't, some marriages have wives, and some don't." The Jewish broker finally expressed his true thoughts with "difficulty" : "Two people in love, whatever their gender composition, should not prevent them, or them, from entering into marriage."

William couldn't hide his smile: "When you say that, you look like an old father giving a speech at a child's wedding."

"Maybe I am." Amon Goffman grabbed a black silk bow tie and stuffed it to Lance: "Here, the witness of your wedding, now you can wear it for your husband."

Then, for the first time, Lance Roderick accepted the suggestion of the Jewish broker for the first time, and seriously tied a classic knot for William, and carefully adjusted the folds on the bow tie, and the slight asymmetry.

Armon Goffman, smothered by the pink vibe in the air, needs something else to talk about so that he doesn't seem superfluous, so he talks briskly about work.Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen all have plans to shoot new films, and they all prefer William. Woody Allen has a prototype of the script, and the other two have not. , but they all want to meet with William first, have a meal and drink coffee, and then maybe revise and finalize the script based on the conversation.And David Fincher's agent also called to ask how the script William sent before was, and whether he was satisfied with the contract they proposed.

William thought about it and asked his agent about his schedule, scheduling meetings with Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino and Woody Allen for the week after the Oscars Inside, as for David Fincher's new movie, after reading the script, he felt that it was not very suitable for him, so he could only regretfully decline the invitation.

——But then William and David Fincher still had a chance to cooperate. A few years later, Fincher planned to shoot "The Social Network", telling the story of Mark Zuckerberg and his partners who founded Facebook, and invited William plays himself.It was the first time that William played himself in a movie, and it was not as a Hollywood movie star, but more as a well-known Harvard alumnus and angel investor. It was really a wonderful experience.

When everything was ready, William went to the suite next door to invite Madeleine Bradley, who had already changed into a Versace haute couture champagne dress, and prepared to go to the Kodak Theater together.

"The dress is very beautiful." As soon as Madeleine walked out of the room with the long dress, William immediately praised: "You look a bit like Nicole Kidman today."

Madeleine happily gave William a hug, hugged Lance again, and kissed him on the cheek, just like kissing her own son.

This picture looks really familyy.

'Damn it.It seems that I really have to prepare a marriage testimony. ' thought the Jewish agent, 'in case they need a witness when they marry in secret. '

……

"No.70 Best Supporting Actor at Eight Academy Awards is... Leonardo DiCaprio, "Milk"."

In the Kodak Theater, the audience applauded thunderously. Everyone looked at Leonardo DiCaprio, but most of them could only see the back of his head—the crew of "Milk" was arranged in The first row in the center below the stage, the best position in the audience, also reflects the popularity of the film.

After Leonardo DiCaprio was briefly surprised, a smile appeared on his face. He stood up and opened his arms directly to William, who was a seat away.

William subconsciously stretched out his hands, exchanged a hug with Leonardo, patted him on the back, and watched Leonardo walk onto the stage while fastening the top button of his suit.

Leonardo's seat was only ten steps away from the stage, and he took over the statuette from Cate Blanchett. Cate Blanchett was all smiles, and she took the initiative to hug Leonardo, He also said congratulations in his ear - it was amazing to say that last year Leonardo and Blanchett were nominated for Oscars together for "The Aviator". As a result, Blanchett won the Best Supporting Actress, Leon Nadeau lost the election, who knows that it will be her turn to present the award to him this year.

"Thank you, it's a bit unbelievable." Leonardo DiCaprio held the statuette and looked around: "Thank you to the Academy for granting me this honor, I thought I would never get a real statuette in my life , maybe they think so - he has been in vain so many times, it's time to give him one."

After the audience was quiet for a second, laughter and applause sounded at the same time. People who are good at self-deprecating can always quickly stir up the atmosphere of the scene.

Many people think of this time last year, Leonardo and "The Aviator" rushed into the award season with eleven Oscar nominations, but finally missed all important awards. It is also very emotional to harvest the statuette.

They also thought that Leonardo would be in the same situation as Tom Cruise. I don't want to please Oscar - but since Oscar is more kind to Leonardo, if he can get favor once, there may be a second or even a third time, just like Marlon Brando and Al Pasi These legendary movie stars have also competed for best supporting actor.

"Thanks to director Steven Spielberg, you are a well-deserved master of film, you have given Dan White a different character creation, making this role so complicated and contradictory, and your guidance has also benefited me for life."

"This honor is also due to William Bradley." Leonardo shook the trophy again with his right hand, and looked at William in the audience: "Will, you are perfect, you are unique, and your glory in the church That scene gave me inspiration for acting, we complement each other. Outside of this movie, we also help each other, you are my good teacher and my good friend."

Hearing his own name was also an unexpected surprise for William. He stared at Leonardo intently, and the two smiled at each other. William was really happy for each other.

Then Leonardo thanked the producers, screenwriters and other behind-the-scenes personnel, as well as his family and friends. Whenever he said a name, the camera would immediately follow and film the reaction of that person.

The Oscar Organizing Committee has always strictly stipulated the time for each winner to give a speech. As long as the time is up, even if the thank you list has not been read, the live band will play high-decibel music to "catch people", but this is not without exception. For those who can boost the ratings of the awards show
