Hollywood Rhapsody

Chapter 199 And the Oscar goes to...

Due to the unsatisfactory ratings of the Oscars last year, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences sought a number of adjustments this year, not only moving the show forward to February, but also inviting veteran Oscar host Billy Crystal to appear on stage for the 8th time. In order to consolidate the declining ratings of the awards ceremony and the unsurpassed status of the Oscars in the awards season, of course, many members of the academy have another way of saying this, that is to reduce the impact of public relations and lobbying activities on the final award, so as to avoid the impact of last year's Some of the public relations scandals exposed again.

In short, this year's awards ceremony has changed a lot from the beginning of the opening short film, which can be called full of wit and wit - the host Billy found a Lord of the Rings in the popcorn box in the movie theater, and since then started the comeback The "Fantasy Journey" on the Oscar stage is humorous and even ridiculed. It can be seen that the screenwriter of the short film really put a lot of thought into it.

On the big screen, Billy, who turned into Gollum from "The Lord of the Rings", said to his reflection in the water: "I can't go, ever since Oscar was taken over by evil wizards, I can never go back!"

The reflection in the water showed a terrified look: "Are you talking about those nasty orcs?"

"No..." Billy, lying on the shore, cried in pain and helplessness, "It's not them, it's Weinstein!"

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and many people turned their attention to Harvey Weinstein who was sitting on the side and spread his hands innocently. To be ridiculed in the official Oscar video like this, Harvey Weinstein is also very capable!

Sarah also appeared twice in the video, one time when the ugly and fat serial female killer "Irene" came out wearing a white bath towel and was laid on the bed. Goblin~" Seeing this paragraph, I don't know how many Sarah fans sitting in front of the TV immediately sprayed the beer or Coke in their mouths on the TV screen.From then on, when I think of the hopeless movie "Hope", I will probably have psychological shadows. When I see the tragic female killer, "You tortured little goblin" will immediately pop up in my mind, what should I do?Poisoned by Oscar's spoof!

Immediately afterwards, the video showed Alvin, the elf from "The Lord of the Rings", who is so beautiful that there is nothing on earth. Sarah, who was bathed in the holy light like an angel, held Billy's fat face affectionately, and said with tears in her eyes: " Go, it's time~" This picture is so beautiful, Sarah used her looks to appease the beating hearts of movie fans, as for the fat-faced Billy, it was naturally ignored by everyone.

As a result, it was difficult to ignore this guy in the next second. Billy replaced the handsome Orlando Bloom and turned into a nimble elf prince. Wang's director Peter Jackson stepped on a meatloaf. This episode is really spoofed to the extreme. Billy's version of the elf prince is "beautiful", but Peter Jackson's death is full of joy. Finally, Jack Nicholson's version Gandalf the White Robe appeared on the stage and finally sent the host Billy to the Oscar stage, and this happy little video came to a successful conclusion.

It can be seen from the very beginning that this year's Oscars are particularly lively. In fact, the word that popped up in Sarah's mind was funny, but out of respect for Oscar, it is more euphemistic to use the adjective lively.Anyway, in an opening video, both the guests on the scene and the audience in front of the TV laughed so hard that their stomachs cramped and their cheeks became sore.

And this humorous joke continues. The nominees for several best films and important awards were all burned by Billy with exaggerated or humorous songs. During the process, the camera showed big stars one by one. It directly pushed the ratings to a small climax at the beginning.

"There are so many new faces at this year's Oscars, let's give the warmest applause to 13-year-old nominee Kaiser Casterhuis! 13 years old, what was I doing back then? Oh, that was my first Hosting the Oscars for the first time, it was so different from today, what is the difference? Bush was president, the economy was bad as hell, and we had just finished a war with Iraq, yes, that's the difference!" A section full of sarcasm, Billy looked at the 13-year-old Caesar Casterhuis again, squeezed his eyes and smiled and said, "Little girl, you must work hard this year, can you refresh the Oscar for Best Actress and the youngest?" The record is up to you! Don’t look at this Sister Sarah next to you who got two nominations. It looks pretty bluffing, but you have a lot more future than her. Believe me, you have a bright future! You are the future of Hollywood Your Majesty, you will have an era!"

His expression was serious, as if he had really seen the scene where the little girl won the best actress, but it was this earnestness that made the guests and the audience in front of the TV burst into laughter. Everyone knew that the 13-year-old A girl can't win an Oscar unless the Academy judges are on drugs, and who's the Queen of Hollywood?Who will rule an era?Everyone knows who the person who is really recognized as a promising person is.

"It's just that you have a boyfriend, little Caesar? If you have a boyfriend who is also nominated for Best Actor, then you have a better chance of beating Sarah Stern, you like Leonardo DiCaprio? Oh no, you're blushing! This is really bad news...Mr. DiCaprio is the most girl-chasing guy I know, The Aviator is awesome, The first time I made a film, I won the best actor nomination for myself, and I also recovered my lover, and brought a supporting actress nomination for our Sarah, this movie is so worth it!" As the hottest couple in Hollywood , was shortlisted for Best Actor and Best Actress at the same time, it’s no wonder that Sarah and Leonardo were not ridiculed severely. If they were not mentioned, the audience in front of the TV would probably be dissatisfied. A synonym for rate!

Fortunately, the time for the awards ceremony is limited, and it is already an honor to be able to mention a movie star by name, and Billy quickly shifted his firepower to the next hot movie star: "But little girl, don't be discouraged, even if you don't capture Leonard Dodi Caprio, I can also introduce you to another sexiest man in the world - Johnny Depp, have you heard of him? A suspected sympathetic pirate leader with magical charisma... ..."

Billy's singing sounded, and the next thing he was ridiculed was that this year's film produced two excellent films, winning four performance awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Supporting Actress Clint Eastwood, who was nominated for Best Director and Best Picture at the same time.

"People your age are either dead or on the brink of death, only you, only the great you—Clint Eastwood, you are so old and strong!" When the host Billy sat directly on Clint When Eastwood's big legs sang praises, people seemed to hear the sound of the host's chant "click click", especially when Clint Eastwood was very cooperative, as if hugging his lover. Patting Billy's back soothingly, the scene was so beautiful that the audience laughed and couldn't bear to look directly—is this really Oscar?When did Oscar become so immoral?No, hurry up and switch to the full-page Oscar channel!But I can't bear to do anything, it's really funny, more interesting than the Golden Globes, I can't stop laughing!

Immediately afterwards, Sofia Coppola was shot, the first American woman to be nominated for the Oscar for Best Director, and she also came from the God-like great Coppola family.Therefore, Mr. Coppola, the director including his father "The Godfather", did not escape Billy's ridicule. Of course, the finale was "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", which was nominated for eleven Oscars this year. From the story to the actors, from the director to the later stage, he was "worshiped" by Billy.

The opening ceremony finally came to an end in a humorous atmosphere, and the real awards ceremony of the awards ceremony officially began. Without exception, the supporting actor performance award was presented first. The first Oscar - Best Supporting Actor - was awarded to Tim Robbins for Mystic River.There is obviously no suspense about this award. Tim Robbins performed very well in the Sentinel Award, and he is almost sure of winning the award.Comparatively speaking, what everyone wants to know is the best supporting actress, but the organizers seem to deliberately hold the audience's appetite, don't they want to know whether Sarah can win both nominations?Wait!

So, everyone waited and waited. Before the award was announced, Sarah walked onto the stage!

Because there was no introduction from the host, I didn't know which award was awarded in this session, until Sarah, who was wearing a dress and white trousers, showed a shallow smile and said the first sentence: "Oscar has a tradition of looking back on the awards that passed away this year. filmmaker...and this year, we lost a truly great legend——Katherine Hepburn..."

In the camera, Sarah paused for a moment, and her eye circles were slightly red when she pronounced the name.It is very appropriate that the organizing committee arranged for her to be the guest of this session: "We will never forget her swaggering attitude, her humor, and her pride and confidence.

Who can judge himself so bluntly?She even said frankly that 'acting is just the most insignificant talent, and it is not a noble way of earning a living', this is her straightforward character...

Of course, her pioneering fashion sense is also impressive, when someone asks 'Catherine, why do you always wear pants?Don't you have a skirt?Are you still a woman? ’ Katharine Hepburn’s answer still impresses many people to this day, ‘Of course I have a pair of trousers, I will wear them to your funeral…’

As Sarah said, she couldn't help laughing out loud, and the guests at the scene and the audience in front of the TV couldn't help but curl their mouths. Such a woman with personality really makes people feel good. It's just that such a legendary figure has been forever Leaving everyone: "A classic that really exists in real life, a legend that cannot be surpassed, cannot be copied, and will be forever remembered by us-Katharine Hepburn..."

The stage was plunged into darkness, Katharine Hepburn's acting life review appeared on the big screen, and Sarah also quietly exited.

People looked at this legendary actress with a career of more than 60 years and looked back on her classic screen image. Not only Sarah, who was a guest before, but also other guests present also had wet eyes. The audience in front of the TV could not At least I thought of the old man who also appeared on this big screen a few years ago. At that time, the appearance of the old man caused a sensation in Hollywood and even the whole of the United States. Now she seems to be still alive, looking at everyone through the screen, confident and charming smile.

It seems that in the next second, she will play a guest role as an award presenter and present the next award as she did many years ago...

Just when Katharine Hepburn's memory video was frozen in the photos of her youth, people couldn't help but wonder, is this Katharine Hepburn?Or Sarah who played the legendary actress in "The Aviator"?They held their heads up slightly, smiling confidently and playfully, they were so similar, as if they were the same person...

And when the image on the big screen faded and the lights came back on again, the 88-year-old Paul Newman, the winner of the last Oscar public relations battle, was already standing in the center of the stage, and the award he was going to present was naturally the best award. supporting actress.After all, the old man is getting old, and there are no fancy strings of words, so he recited the list of nominees when he came up: "The nominees for the Best Supporting Actress Award are--Patricia Clarkson's "Pieces of April", Marcia Gay Harden's " Mystic River, Holly Hunter's 13, Renee Zellweger's Cold Mountain, Sarah Stern's The Aviator..."

I don't know if it was intentional by the organizers, Sarah was the last one to be announced, and the excerpted performance clip is also a scene of holding her head up and smiling, which seems to be exactly the same as the previous commemorative short film of Katharine Hepburn!

"Is it Sarah? Since the commemorative session is arranged in this way, it would be inappropriate not to give it to Sarah!" I don't know how many movie fans in front of the TV have begun to get uncontrollably excited.

Leonardo also held Sarah's hand. Although he knew that it was almost impossible to win both, and even though he knew that the best heroine would be the best, both he and Sarah became nervous unconsciously. This kind of entanglement is the most excruciating feeling. I want to double win, but I am afraid that I will lose the heroine when I get the female supporting role. Of course, it is not impossible to get neither. Mentioned throat.

However, old Paul Newman's hands were trembling, and he was extremely slow in opening the golden envelope.

"Putong...Putong..." It seemed as if the heartbeat of more than one person could be heard at the scene, and everyone's eyes seemed to want to pierce the small envelope!

"And the Oscargoesto..." Paul Newman's old voice finally sounded, and the entire Kodak Theater seemed to be holding its breath at this moment, "Sarah Stern's "The Aviator"!"

"Sarah Stern!"

"Sarah!"

The author has something to say: Go to bed early and get up early, An’an~~~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ブ

Also, does any cherub remember how many times Sarah has been nominated for an Oscar?How many times have you won an award?

mwah!Look at my own mother!
