Birth of an actor

If they are high-ranking stars, the director will obviously extend the time tolerantly for them to speak freely-the most direct evidence is that Leonardo's acceptance speech lasted 2 minutes, but the live band didn't mean to rush people at all.

After finishing his speech, Leonardo turned around and prepared to step down, but suddenly he changed his mind and turned half of his body to the microphone and said, "One last thing, I love the feeling of standing here."

The audience burst into laughter, and Leonardo's unexpected naughtiness amused everyone.

The Best Supporting Actor section ended, and the Oscars ceremony continued. Leonardo and William hugged once again after returning to their seats, and said in a voice that only the other party could hear: "Thank you, Will."

Although Leonardo's expression had returned to calm, judging from the flush from his ears to his neck area, he was still in excitement.

William knew why Leonardo thanked him in private. Last year, Leonardo was nominated for Best Actor. William provided him with a lot of Olympic experience and let his publicist Barbara Wilson join him. Among the team, but Jamie Foxx, who is also a nominee, has the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People behind him, and Leonardo regrets losing.However, judging from this year's situation, last year's efforts were not without rewards. At least the name Leonardo gave the academy judges the impression that he had changed from a superstar full of lace news to a powerful movie actor.

"You have already thanked me once on stage, and I even said one more sentence than Director Spielberg." William looked at the statuette in his hand and said, "You deserve it."

Leonardo stroked the base of the trophy with his fingers, where his name and awards would be engraved later, Leonardo's expression was full of emotion: "This is just the beginning."

William smiled: "Yes, this is just the beginning."

The Best Supporting Actor trophy is not only the beginning of Leonardo, but also the beginning of "Milk" - this is the first award "Milk" won tonight.

In the following awards, "Milk" won the best original screenplay, the best film editing, lost the best costume design, the best original soundtrack, and the best original soundtrack was won by "Brokeback Mountain". Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director.

Ang Lee's acceptance of the award is another climax tonight. It is not difficult to imagine that the eastern hemisphere is also boiling at the moment. After all, Ang Lee is the first Asian director to win the Oscar for Best Director.

Steven Spielberg was also nominated for best director. He was not particularly disappointed with Ang Lee's award, because "Milk" won the best film editing. A default rule in the industry is that it won The movie with the best editing also has a relatively high hope of winning the best picture, and this is Spielberg's ultimate goal.

Immediately after the best director was the award for the best actor. The last actress Hilary Swank walked in wearing a black tube top mermaid dress. After a brief opening speech, she read out Names of the five candidates: "The nominees for 'Best Actor' are..."

The images of the five nominees at this moment were also projected on the big screen above the stage.

Philip Hoffman accidentally looked directly at the camera that was shooting at him, and raised his eyebrows in embarrassment.

Terrence Howard, staring intently at the big screen, folded his hands and shook them nervously.

Heath Ledger looks at and smiles with girlfriend Michelle Williams, who holds his hand.

Joaquin Phoenix glanced at the camera, then turned to chat with his friends.

When he heard his name, William looked away slightly from the stage, nodded and smiled.

Hilary Swank opened the envelope in her hand:

"The winner is..."

The camera lens once again scanned the faces of the five candidates one by one.

"William Bradley, Milk!"

In the Kodak Theater, applause and music started, and the guests also stood up one after another.

William hugged Madeleine first, tears of excitement appeared in Madeleine's eyes instantly, she kissed William on the cheek, and then pushed him into the frenzy of others.

Hug with Leonardo, and this time it was Leonardo's turn to pat him on the back and say "Congratulations" loudly.

Hugging with Spielberg, the world-class film master kept saying: "I knew you would be the best actor! I knew it a long time ago!"

On the other side of the aisle was the "Brokeback Mountain" crew. Heath Ledger was a little disappointed, but still stood up with a smile and applauded. William and Ang Lee also hugged.

A female narration sounded in the theater: "This is the fourth time William Bradley has been nominated and the second time he has won."

In the eyes of the world, in the anticipation of everyone, William fastened the top button of his suit, walked to the stage, stepped up the steps, took the heavy trophy from Hilary Swank, and hugged each other politely-this is How many hugs did he get tonight?Can not remember.

Then he turned around and saw thousands of people watching him while standing and applauding in the nominees' and guests' seats below the stage, and in the boxes on the second and third floors. He couldn't see their expressions, but he could feel them. Seeing that those eyes are all focused on him, and through those dark lenses, perhaps hundreds of millions of viewers are watching this scene.

William lowered his head and glanced at the gold-plated statue in his hand. The flowing golden light, and the glory and meaning it carried, really had the charm that people couldn't help but touch.

"thank you all."

William stood in front of the microphone and began to speak.

From that moment on, the audience was silent.
