Chapter 712 Roger, your father won the award(1/2)
The Oscar Honorary Award is a real honorary award that is awarded by a vote of the Academy Board of Directors in addition to a large number of named awards. It is also the award that Ronald fought for Roger Corman.
There is no rule in the awarding of this award. As long as they feel that the Oscars have not awarded an award to someone before and have regrets and it is time to make up for it, they will award an award.
This year's honorary award was awarded to the famous Italian director Michelangelo Antonioni. Born in 1912, Antonioni, who is over 80 this year, is already old. He still needs his young wife Enrica.
Fico helped him to the stage to receive the award.
This is also normal. Many honorary awards are awarded urgently after receiving news that the winner is in poor health. Antonioni had a stroke before, which caused slurred speech and difficulty in movement. He held his wife's hand tightly throughout the process, as if
It felt like he would fall down on the spot after leaving his wife.
The guest of honor, Jack Nicholson, who was well-informed, was a little confused about what to do. He handed the trophy to Enrica Fico, but she wanted to support her husband and handed the trophy to Nicholson.
Take it.
In the end, Enrica Fico gave the acceptance speech instead of Antonioni. The Italian director, who is famous for his "mysterious and complex emotional works", said "thank you" throughout the whole process.
However, Antonioni like this can still direct movies. This year there is a new film "Days in the Clouds" coming out. I can only express my admiration for him.
The award ceremony has entered the second half, the importance of the awards has gradually increased, and the status of the award presenters has also increased accordingly.
The presenter for the Best Original Screenplay Award and the Most Adapted Screenplay Award was former Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins.
"The witticisms we saw coming from the actors' mouths in the clips were first formed in the screenwriter's script. People who can act are often attracted by people who can write. I am also very honored today,
The Oscar for Best Screenplay is awarded here,
The Oscar nominee for Best Original Screenplay is:…”
The competition for best original screenplay this year is relatively fierce, with Woody Allen's Bullets Over Broadway and Richard Curtis' Four Weddings and a Funeral both having high voices.
“Oscars go to, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery, Pulp Fiction!”
The very rhythmic Pulp Fiction movie soundtrack "Misirlou" played. Ronald gave a standard smile and then clapped gently. This was an award he had no way to stop. Because Forrest Gump competed for the best
Adapted Screenplay Award. In order to prevent the camera from taking a close-up of myself, I had to put on a standard smile to avoid being said to be ungraceful.
But the camera had no time to capture Ronald's reaction. Because the two screenwriters who won the Best Original Screenplay Award this time, Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avery, were not sitting in the same place.
Quentin sat with the cast and crew of Pulp Fiction, while Roger Avery only had a single seat at the very back. The reason for this was because they had the right to authorize the script.
controversy.
The two of them were positioned just to the left and right, far apart, and the camera had been capturing the scene of Roger Avery walking from a very far away place without giving Quentin any close-ups. It seems that these industry insiders in the film and television industry
People are also very dissatisfied with Quentin's attempt to snatch the authorship of other people's scripts.
The two people did not enter the camera frame together until they walked up the steps and onto the stage in front. Facing the attention of tens of millions of viewers, the two people temporarily put aside their previous unhappiness and put their arms around each other's shoulders.
However, judging from some details, the two still dislike each other. They both want to overpower each other, put their hands on each other's shoulders, and press the other person below them.
"Ah, thank you..." Quentin Tarantino was a little taller than the opponent. He finally won the arm battle and got the microphone first.
"Yeah...yeah..." Roger Avery was inexperienced and was only stuck in a position facing the camera lens from the side, but he quickly reacted and continued.
Quentin held the microphone tightly, as if he was afraid that the other party would come and grab it, "This is a very strange year. You know what? I can almost confirm now that this is probably the only award I can win tonight."
"Well..." Ronald, who was sitting below, felt strange when he heard Quentin say this. Could it be that Harvey Weinstein had vaccinated him in advance? Except for this Ronald
It is impossible for me to be nominated for an award to compete with him. The other awards nominated for Pulp Fiction have all suffered major failures.
"So I think I should say everything I can say at this moment? For example, what have I experienced in the past year? All the accumulated things, pour them out..." Quentin Taranti
Nuo's special voice, coupled with his exaggerated movements and expressions, made the audience think he was a little crazy.
"Don't, don't, don't do this..." Roger Avery's ethics were indeed lower than Quentin's. He immediately voiced his objection and shook his head. Because the time for each award's acceptance speech was
They are all limited. If this were the case, he would not have time to say his speech.
"Do you want to tell everything? But, I won't do that, thank you." Quentin saw the expressions of the audience in the front row nearby, plus the big live treasure "partner" next to him, it was very interesting.
He regarded this as a humorous joke, and then gave the stage to Roger Avery. Instead of waiting for Roger Avery to finish his speech, he just walked back with his own statuette.
.
There was still a lot of grudge between the two. Roger Avery was more graceful in comparison. He knew he didn't have much time, so he only said a few words, "I want to thank my beautiful wife Gretchen. I love you."
She, more than anything else in the world. Also, I really need to go to the bathroom right now, thank you."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Combined with Roger Avery's nervous performance and his remarks, the image of a very sincere screenwriter emerges clearly on the page. Below.
Everyone laughed and applauded him. Compared with Quentin's image of an old man, he looked more pleasing to the eye.
Anthony Hopkins returned to the stage and put on his glasses. "Researchers often debate whether it is more difficult to rewrite a script or to adapt a script based on someone else's work. In any case, it is more difficult to obtain this script."
The nominees for the 2018 Best Adapted Screenplay Award are..."
"Ahem..." Ronald cleared his throat gently, he was starting to feel a little nervous now.
Among the five nominated screenplays mentioned by Anthony Hopkins, only Eric Roth's Forrest Gump and Frank Darabont's The Shawshank Redemption received far above-average applause and
Cheers.
This also shows that the works of these two screenwriters each have their fans. Ronald privately speculated that it may be that these two adapted the classic Hollywood narrative method and the adapted scripts are better-looking and more similar to traditional dramas, with a complete
story and a happy ending.
"The Oscar goes to...Eric Roth, Forrest Gump..."
"Huh..." Ronald let out a long breath. There was no surprise! He stood up and hugged Eric Roth across the aisle. The other person looked very nervous. Tom Hanks and Sally Field were all around him to congratulate him.
, Ross walked straight onto the stage without even hearing it.
"I shortened my acceptance speech to a piece of paper..." Eric Rose happily began his speech while holding the statuette.
"I'm a lucky man, lucky to have a great agent like James Anderle. Lucky to be able to work for Paramount, lucky to have Tom Hanks play Forrest Gump and give him a soul, an unforgettable voice, and
A very great sense of dignity.
I am also lucky to have an outstanding director like Ronald Lee, who gives Forrest Gump a cold, ironic sense of humor and a simple but elegant style... I am also lucky to have my beautiful blue-eyed wife and children...
Finally, I want to borrow the words of Forrest Gump, when I see a beautiful thing, I know its value. I may not be the smartest person, but I know what love is."
"Hua Hua Hua..."
The audience in the audience were very happy. Finally, there was a winner who read out his acceptance speech in a normal manner.
Next, Schwarzenegger presented the third honorary award today, the Irving G. Tolberg Memorial Award. This award is awarded to producers who are committed to making films that can be passed down to future generations.
This year's winner is Clint Eastwood, who has made 35 films in the past 30 years, including blockbuster series such as Dirty Harry and unique Westerns such as Unforgiven, which won an Oscar.
piece.
…
After Clint Eastwood received the award, there was an officially arranged song and dance performance. At this time, Tom Hanks had already left for the backstage. As last year's Best Actor, he wanted to present the award to this year's Best Actress.
"From clear and sophisticated lines to incoherence, from free-spirited personalities to repressed, from romantic pasts to sharp social contradictions, these five actresses have given us unforgettable performances..."
Ronald knows that this year's Best Actress award is relatively loose. Because of the scandal surrounding Forrest Gump's heroine Robin Wright, she could not be nominated, so none of the nominated actors or actresses who starred in the movie were nominated.
Lots of nominations.
Including Winona Ryder of Little Women, Jodie Foster who directed and starred in it, Susan Sarandon, Miranda Richardson, and Jessica Lange, in this award,
There are not many resources invested in public relations, so it can fairly reflect the true preferences of the judges.
"The Oscar goes to...Jessica Lange, Blue Skies."
The award-winning Jessica Lange took the statuette from Tom Hanks. She was very excited. She had been nominated for Best Actress four times and finally won the Best Actress crown this year. Although she won the Best Actress title in 19
In 1982, she also won an Oscar for her role in "My Fair Lady", but that was for Best Supporting Actress, which was of course not the same as Best Actress.
Jessica Lange began to thank the late director Tony Richardson and the many people who helped make this movie shelved for five years...
Tom Hanks, who had just handed the statuette to Lange, quickly left the stage. He was nominated for the next best actor award this year, and he is very likely to win... He was still giving awards to others just now. If
Then you can win a prize and become a legend.
"Among the many unforgettable performances, here are five Oscar nominees for Best Actor..."
Last year's Best Actress, Holly Hunter, wore a light pink dress and announced the nominations with her unique Southern accent.
"Hehehe, I was so excited that I almost opened the envelope early... The five nominees are Morgan Freeman, The Shawshank Redemption; Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump..."
The camera gave each nominee a two-second close-up. When Tom Hanks' name was called, he was a little embarrassed and lowered his head to hide that he swallowed because he was too nervous.
Ronald's neck turned away. He didn't expect that someone like Hanks, who was used to seeing big scenes, would feel nervous...
"The Oscar goes to, Tom Hanks, Forrest Gump..."
In the broadcast footage, at this very moment, there were close-ups of the five nominated actors on the screen.
Among the few people, only John Travolta from Pulp Fiction could express his disappointment, which was very real. The others could all put on an expression of "Tom Hanks is the one everyone expects, and I'm happy for him."
This is probably because John Travolta and the producers of Pulp Fiction invested too much public relations resources for this film to win the award. Others did not have so much expectations, and therefore did not have so much disappointment.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It’s hard to tell what kind of expression was on Tom Hanks’ face, but his wife Rita Wilson next to him looked like she couldn’t believe it and covered it with her hands.
His face was so excited that he was about to cry.
Tom Hanks kissed his wife deeply, then stood up, turned back, stretched out his index finger towards Ronald, who was sitting behind him, and pointed at him. Ronald knew that this meant blessing in advance.
, also pointed back at Hanks with his finger.
