"They're rough, they're tough, that's how a director of photography works, they're lethal weapons in the battle to not make the movie boring, like the two detectives who fought against the bad guys in the movie 'Lethal Weapon'

.”

Host Chevy Chase started making bad jokes again. "Lethal Weapon" was the two guests who presented the award for the best cinematography. Mel Gibson and Danny Glover co-starred in the police drama, which was very popular. Let the two

The actor entered the ranks of A-list stars.

The two also made some witty remarks as characters in "Lethal Weapon", but there was no script and no way to rehearse in advance, so the music was not turned down immediately, and almost no one heard their wisecracks.

The writers' strike has turned the Oscar ceremony into a straw show worse than the Golden Globes. Ronald smiled bitterly below. It is said that ABC spent a lot of money to buy the broadcast rights today, and it is estimated that more than 70 million viewers in China will watch the awards.

I don’t know what they thought after seeing it?

"The prize goes to...Vittorio Storaro - the last emperor!"

The theme music of The Last Emperor sounded again, and Ronald smiled and applauded. This Italian-born director of photography won the Oscar for Best Cinematography for the third time. The first two were for Coppola's "Apocalypse Now" and W.O.

Len Beatty directed and starred in "Red Fire".

The colors in the movies he was the photographer for are actually very strong. Rather than reflecting the reality, it is more focused on restoring the inner feeling of the colors on people. You know they are fake but psychologically you think they are very real.

Storaro, who had won the award for the third time, was very calm and even teased director Bertolucci. His first film was with Bertolucci, and this award is an affirmation of their twenty-year collaboration.

.A brief and personable thank you that makes everyone feel real.

After several minor awards including animated short films were awarded, the theme song of "The Last Emperor" played again. This time, the two leading actors, John Lone and Joan Chen, took the stage to present the award for the best documentary short film.

"Do you feel good standing here?" John Lone asked his partner.

"Excellent, I didn't expect that the Academy would nominate a Chinese film as a candidate for the best film." Joan Chen shook her head as she spoke, with a kind of affectation unique to mainland Chinese. It was like being selected by a teacher in elementary school to read aloud on the podium.

of.

Ronald was quite familiar with this artificial tone, and he felt as if he were seeing an old friend he hadn't seen for many years, and he couldn't help but smile.

"Of course, we Americans are famous for our openness..." John Lone was obviously unhappy that he was not nominated, and he seriously praised the academy's open attitude.

"Hahaha..." Ronald and everyone laughed together. This ability to tell jokes seriously is much inferior to host Chevy Chase's ability to tickle you and make you laugh.

Already?

"Joan, I don't think The Last Emperor is a Chinese movie." John Lone continued his performance of a cold-faced comedian.

"Why not?"

"The studio is American, the director is Italian, the producer is British, and the soundtrack includes a Chinese, a Japanese, and an American rock star."

"Well, that's true. Geniuses from so many countries collaborated to complete this masterpiece. Our movie should be..." Joan Chen seemed to be unable to find the right English words to express it.

“It’s Universal”

"No, it's Colombia, right?"

The audience was very generous and gave laughter to the two Chinese celebrities who were doing cross talk. This was the only opportunity for the Chinese actors who should have been nominated to appear at the awards ceremony.

Several small awards continued to be awarded, and the host introduced the next award guest-Billy Crystal.

"Thank you everyone, I wrote this before the strike." Billy Crystal, like host Chevy Chase, is a comedian. He paused for a few seconds after saying this.

The audience responded with laughter.

Just this pause made Ronald feel that this person is a comedy genius. Comedy requires very accurate timing. Whether a joke can be heard has a lot to do with the rhythm of speaking and pauses. A joke like this can be paused to give

The audience's immediate reaction shows that Billy Crystal has extraordinary confidence and knows that the audience will laugh.

"What I want to award is the best sound design...ah...oh...ok...that's it...important..."

His introduction was very strange, as if there was something wrong with the microphone and speakers. Sometimes it could pick up the sound, and sometimes it couldn't. Ronald watched Billy's mouth opening and closing, and his voice was intermittent. He looked to the left and right.

The people also had the same confused expression as him.

"Hahaha..." Ronald realized that Billy Crystal had controlled his voice to imitate the problem of the microphone not working. This was a performance to demonstrate the award he was about to award "Best Voice"

The importance of design.

Billy Crystal's solo performance lasted several minutes. On the one hand, the organizing committee needed comedians like him to improvise on the spot, dragging out the time slot vacated by the writers' strike. He happened to be the only one who performed by himself.

The person who wrote the script before the strike.

On the other hand, it was also because of Billy's strong abilities that the audience was amused by him and laughed without feeling bored at all. Especially when he got a portrait of Humphrey Bogart, removed the mouth part, and then hid himself

He exposed his mouth from behind and performed an imitation show. The American audience particularly liked Bogart and laughed so hard.

Then he replaced the greatest comedy star in Hollywood history, the magical dog "Rin Tin Tin", and imitated the dog sticking out his tongue to lick his face. Many viewers laughed until their abdominal muscles ached, and applauded for several minutes.

It rang five or six times.

"He should be the host..." Donna around her could see it, and Billy Crystal was obviously more adaptable to this kind of occasion.

"Bill Roy, Best Sound Design - The Last Emperor..."

It's The Last Emperor again, and the award ceremony is not even half over yet. The theme song with Chinese characteristics of The Last Emperor has already played four times. Ronald sat down and was very emotional. Now the TV audience can remember this movie deeply.

, it seems that the box office will improve in the future.

"I have to go backstage..." Nicolas Cage said sorry and came out. He was notified by the staff that he was about to be the award guest.

Ronald and Diane both gave up their seats for him. Nicolas Cage walked to the aisle in the front row and stretched out his hand to let his fellow "Moonlight" co-star Cher take her arm. With him in a dress

Cher went backstage.

"what is that?"

Ronald's eyes almost fell out. Forgetting the previous Golden Globe Awards, why on an occasion like the Oscars today, Cher still wore a see-through black dress.

And today, her hairstyle was particularly outstanding. She had her hair combed in front of her ears, and the rest of her hair was raised high, and then combed back. The hair on both sides was close to her scalp, and she also wore a large feathered headdress on top.

It's so annoying... Ronald lowered his head and covered his forehead. This Mohawk hairstyle is quite eye-catching. Paired with that see-through outfit, hasn't Cher read "How to Dress to Look Like a Hollywood Star"?

After a few minor awards, the music of "Moonlight Sultry" played, and Nick and Cher went on stage together to present the award for Best Supporting Actor.

"I'm surprised, I didn't expect my hairstyle to be so popular." Nicolas Cage deliberately made fun of it and made impromptu remarks about Cher's hairstyle on the spot.

"I don't want to hit you on such a solemn occasion, don't be stupid (Snap Out of It)", Cher also quoted a line from the movie, which caused everyone to burst into laughter.

"Nominated are, Albert Brooks"

"Morgan Freeman"

"Denzel Washington"

"Sean Connery"

"Vincent Gardenia", the last nominee is the supporting actor in "Moonlight", the father of the heroine played by Cher. Ronald applauded him below, this year's best supporting actor

The competition is very strong.

"The winner is...Sean Connery"

Several of the nominees whose cameras were focused on looked disappointed, but immediately applauded the first 007.

The applause gradually grew louder, and many audience members stood up to pay tribute. Ronald also had to stand up to listen to what this CAA's number one star client with a strong Scottish accent said in his acceptance speech.

"Good evening. Ladies and gentlemen, friends, and some enemies." Sean Connery made everyone laugh as soon as he spoke.

"I originally promised that if I really won the award, I would give the trophy to my wife. But just now backstage, they told me that the trophy is worth fifteen thousand US dollars. Now I am not so sure..."

Ronald feels a little uncomfortable. Sean Connery's wife is in the audience. Doesn't this joke mean that she is not even worth fifteen thousand dollars?

"If I can make a wish after winning the award, I hope the strike will end soon..."

The last sentence of the former 007 agent's acceptance speech was the one that Ronald felt most sympathetic to.

The light returned to the host, who was licking his nostrils when he seemed to suddenly realize that the camera was facing him and stopped.

"Shhh..." boos appeared on the scene. This kind of vulgar joke turned the Oscars into a stand-up comedy in a cheap bar on Staten Island.

Another actor named Sean, actress Sean Young, presented the Best Editing award with Rob Lowe.

Sean Young was probably inspired by Billy Crystal. She spoke incoherently on the spot, trying to act out a situation where the editing was broken. However, her acting skills were so bad that she had to be rescued by Rob Lowe and explain on the spot.

Sean Young's intentions.

"The winner is...Gabriella Cristiani - The Last Emperor."

"The last emperor again..." Diane touched Ronald's arm.

"Yeah, it's them again." Ronald felt that tonight's award was too outrageous. So far, all the nominees for The Last Emperor have won the award.

Halfway through the award ceremony, the song and dance performance started, and Ronald went to the bathroom. "Moonlight" won and lost one nomination for best supporting actor and actress. After that, there were also best actress, best original screenplay, and most

Best Director, Four Best Pictures, I don’t know how many he will win. Ronald patted the acceptance speech in his jacket pocket and returned to his seat.

The staff filling the seats at the scene quickly stood up and offered their seats to Ronald. The performer above was the defunct Starship Band, which had won the first place in the charts with "Swagger", and was singing the theme song of the movie, Nothing Now.

can stop us".

"It will be over soon..." Diane glanced at him, wondering why Ronald had been gone for so long. It seemed that he was not as indifferent as he seemed, and was still looking forward to the best director and best picture.

"Now I'm having the best time of my life

No, I've never felt like this
