The 63rd Academy Awards Gala will be broadcast live to the world on March 25th on ABC TV.
During the entrance ceremony, they deliberately looked for celebrity couples. Based on last year's experience, this was the first high point in ratings for the Oscars ceremony. Most of the audience came to watch the gossip.
Which stars broke up with which stars this year, which stars held hands with new loves, and which stars went back to reunite with their old loves. The Oscars are the best time to summarize the year.
During the entrance ceremony, the two most famous couples were Richard Gere and Julia Roberts, the male and female protagonists of "Pretty Woman," the most popular romance movie in the first half of this year.
However, they came separately with their romantic partners. Richard Gere officially appeared at a large-scale public event with his girlfriend Cindy Crawford, which was considered an official statement.
But Cindy Crawford's anxiety is still obvious. She wore the red dress that exposed her sexier figure even more than Vivian in "Pretty Woman". The bulge in the front and back made ABC's instant ratings
, rushed to more than 20% in one breath.
But some things are not what you think will be accepted by the public. Richard Gere is a famous diamond bachelor in Hollywood and has many scandals. And Cindy Crawford is not only in the New York modeling circle, but also has many scandals.
Apart from a certain degree of fame, he does not actually enjoy widespread public visibility.
The ABC broadcaster did not recognize who she was and was stuck when reporting her name. In the audience areas on both sides of the red carpet aisle, Richard Gere had fans screaming everywhere, while Cindy Crawford
Without one, the red carpet was getting more and more embarrassing.
Julia Roberts's boyfriend, Kiefer Sutherland, also walked on the red carpet, and the two were at odds again. Roberts' fame exceeded that of her boyfriend, and she screamed louder on the red carpet.
Kiefer Sutherland still looks like a traditional Hollywood movie star. He is very dissatisfied with this, but he also pretends to be nonchalant. But the black trousers that Roberts deliberately wore and Sutherland deliberately asked for a kiss in front of the camera were still
His embarrassment was revealed.
The most natural couple in front of the camera is Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Both of them are naturally beautiful, with smiles on their faces without any embarrassment, even if Kidman is better than Cruise
He was a head taller and seemed to be fine.
Several interview points were arranged for this year's entrance ceremony. Different crews were interviewed at different places.
Al Pacino and Andy Garcia from The Godfather Part III hugged each other and couldn't wait to show the unity of the crew. The stars of this crew have suffered setbacks in their careers recently and needed some energy to show off.
Kevin Costner's Dances with Wolves is the most exciting. In addition to the leading actors, the two actors of Indian descent who have been running TV shows for the past six months combine Sioux costumes, long hair, and
The bird feather decorations are all worn out, which is very attractive to the camera.
Ronald and Diane, of course, were on the set of "The Last Day Out." There were no leading actors or actresses nominated, and there wasn't much press attention. Demi Moore, Patrick Schwytz, and Ronald were the same, except
There are no professional award nominations, but other awards include fame and fortune, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
"Hi, Ronald..." Gregory Peck also came over to say hello. He was both tonight's award guest and the former president of the academy, so he had extra courtesy.
"I have read Director Huang's script, and I have decided to follow..."
"That will be a good movie..." Ronald smiled and hugged Parker while chatting.
After a while, Michael Douglas also came over to say hello. He had no entries this year and wanted to find an opportunity to appear, so Ronald's booth was the most suitable.
"Oh, you are co-producing a movie with a Chinese director? Is it from Hong Kong?" In addition to being an actor, Michael Douglas is also a successful producer. His first Oscar statuette was actually for "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"
Best Picture Award for the Producer.
Last year, he co-produced "Black Rain" with Japan's Ken Takakura and produced by Shirley Lansing, which also achieved very good box office results. So I was very interested when I heard about the co-production.
"It's not from Xiangjiang, it's a female director from the Mainland. Are you interested?" Ronald thought that it would be good to get Douglas to join him.
"Of course I am interested, but I am more interested in Xiangjiang. Which martial arts films produced by your company have I seen and were very popular with the audience?"
"Hahaha, just in time, we are launching several new films this year, starring Jean-Claude Van Damme and Lundgren, how about you take part in them?"
Ronald knew that Michael Douglas was the son of Kirk, the previous leader of Hollywood Jews. And this man was not as extreme as those Jews. He was more inclined to the New York culture of his mother who brought him up.
"We'll find time to talk in detail..." Michael Douglas smiled from ear to ear when he saw Ronald's immediate agreement. The risks of independent production are relatively high. If you can cooperate with a small production company like Ronald, everyone can share the risk.
That's much better. Moreover, this is one of the few producers in Hollywood who likes to co-produce with foreign capital, and he shares the same goals.
The two chatted about some gossip, and saw a big name coming at the end of the red carpet. A dark-skinned elderly beauty and a handsome boy who looked like her son walked together.
"I'll see you inside then..." Gregory Peck said hello and went in first with his wife.
Ronald took a closer look and saw that it was the Italian star Sophia Loren.
Ronald looked a little puzzled. Michael Douglas also explained to him that when Roland came to Hollywood, all the big-name male stars fell in love with her and competed to act with her. This was a whirlwind that swept Hollywood that year.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In the end, Cary Grant won the competition and had a relationship with her. Some of the old stars outside today, such as Bob Hope, were probably the same back then.
Loser of competition.
Unexpectedly, these old men and women still have such persistence, Ronald also entered the awards hall later. The seats at this year's award ceremony are quite spacious. Guests can go to the bar next to the hall to drink cocktails and chat when the time comes.
on site.
…
This year's nominations are the most for "Dances with Wolves", which received twelve nominations, so the actors are placed in relatively front and important positions. However, most of the nominations are for Best Cinematography and Best Makeup.
, awards such as Best Sound. Because indeed this film’s investment in this aspect is difficult for other films to match.
As for professional awards, there are Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor and Actor, and Best Original Screenplay.
The next biggest nominees are the comic book adaptation "Dick Tracy" and The Godfather Part III, which each received seven nominations. The former is a collaboration between Warren Beatty, Al Pacino and Madonna
, it was quite popular, but its actual performance was terrible. Only Al Pacino was nominated for a supporting actor, and many of the nominations were minor awards.
The Godfather Part III had strong nominations for Best Director, Best Picture, and Andy Garcia was nominated for Supporting Actor.
Therefore, it seems that Dances with Wolves is the best, but if you look closely at the distribution of important awards, it is actually very average this year. There is nothing particularly outstanding. The number of nominations for important awards for movies such as "Dances with Wolves" and "Leadership" is also similar to that of "Dances with Wolves".
Dances with Wolves is evenly matched.
Ronald was also near the nominees of "The Last Days", waiting for the awards ceremony to begin. This year's location was in Paris. The British actor Michael Caine hosted the ceremony at three o'clock in the morning in Paris. He happened to be there.
In the café where the Lumiere brothers showed their first movie, the first few silent films that made their mark were introduced. They were all more than 40 seconds long, showing factory gates, people watering water, and trains entering the station.
The Oscars spent a lot of money to have a group of actors dress up like Parisians of the time, sit next to Michael Caine and watch replicas of the film. The screen in the cafe showed a train arriving at the station, and the actors also looked like they did back then.
Like all the spectators, they stood up and ran away in confusion.
When this scene was shown on the big screen at the Oscars, the lights turned on and the live song and dance performance began.
"Humph..." Ronald smiled. This year's producer, in order to surpass his own work last year, put a lot of thought into playing a montage on the stage.
This year has been determined by the Oscars as the centenary celebration of film. The invention of film actually has two sources. The first is the Lumiere brothers in Paris. Their series of classic scenes that have been passed down to this day have been praised by many people (especially Europeans).
) believes that it was the earliest film to be shown publicly. These films were mainly shown in 1895 and 1896.
Another source is Thomas Edison's camera series. In fact, as a moving image photography and projection equipment, Edison screened a three-second moving image for 150 representatives of the International Women's Conference at the end of 1891, "Dixon's Greetings"
”.
Therefore, if the public screening of moving images is used as the definition of film, then Edison's invention is the birth date of film. However, Edison had no interest in filming and promoting the film industry, and only hoped to make money through patent fees.
Therefore, if movies are regarded as a commodity that sells tickets to the audience to watch moving pictures with plots in the theater, then the short films of the Lumière brothers should be the origin of movies.
However, of course, no matter what Americans claim, Edison must have invented things like movies.
"Da da da..." After the song and dance, the host Billy Crystal rode a horse onto the stage. He also worked very hard to surpass last year. It happened that he was also studying in order to prepare for the comedy western film he wanted to make.
Riding a horse is not too difficult.
"Beep beep..." After Billy Crystal stood still, he took out a car key and pressed the stop button in the direction of the horse.
"Hahaha..." The effect on the scene was very good, and everyone was so embarrassed that they laughed.
"Welcome everyone to the awards show today. It will be fun tonight. In fact, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, because no matter who wins, the madman in Iraq will claim that he won..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
"Speaking of who will come to tonight's party, Madonna said to me, how many people do I need to fax to go to the Oscars? So she faxed me, and I faxed back twice, and she came tonight."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The opening few jokes were all very loud. ABC rated tonight's program as normal, so even the dirty jokes that were sidelined had to be treated with homophones. Billy Crystal is a master and handled it very well.
The atmosphere became lively, ABC's ratings also exceeded 23%, and the first award, Best Supporting Actress, began to be awarded.
"I feel very honored to present this award. There are five talented actors nominated for Best Supporting Actress..." The last Best Supporting Actor, Denzel Washington, presented this award.
"The nominees are... Annette Bening - The Fatal Bet, Lorraine Bracco - Goodfellas, Whoopi Goldberg - The Ghost Story, Diane Ladd - Wild at Heart, and Mary...
Macdonald - Dances with Wolves..."
Ronald looked at Whoopi Goldberg next to him. It was obvious that she was a good actress. Although she was the one with the highest voice and won more than 80% of the awards in the frontline competition, her expression was very calm.
It was just the light in her eyes that betrayed her. The guest of honor this time was Denzel Washington. Although it is customary to award this year's award to the previous one, it is not limited to specific awards. Being a black person as the guest of honor obviously represents the group's success.
The committee already thinks that it is 80% likely to be her.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Although in my mind, the acting skills of the five are tied, there is only one result, and the Best Supporting Actress award goes to Whoopi Goldberg..."
"Ahh..." Whoopi got a black Deadlock hairstyle with thick braids. After hearing that he had won the award, he stopped pretending. He jumped up suddenly, his hair trembled up and down, and his bucket-shaped figure also
Looks a little cute.
Like a little girl receiving an award from her beloved school, she shouted, hugged Ronald and others, and jumped onto the stage.
"Thank you everyone. This is what I have wanted since I was a child! Thank you Ronald Lee, who decided to cast me in this role after thinking about it for a long time because he recognized that this is my role. Thank you also to Patrick
Schwyz, he told Ronald that I was the best fit."
"Hahaha...", Ronald also applauded below. Whoopi Goldberg was still teasing that he didn't want to use her at first. But this person is worthy of performing stand-up comedy, and his few words are both organized and very interesting.
Decent.
Of all the people I nominated for awards, Whoopi Goldberg gave the highest level of speech.
"This year is the centennial celebration of film, so tonight you're going to hear 'firsts' a lot of times, the first color film, the first talkie, the first time an accountant from a major studio said, 'Bat
Don't you make money?'"
"Hahahaha..." Billy Crystal's sarcasm in the industry was also very bitter. Warner Bros. made a loss on a blockbuster movie like "Batman", which really makes people feel excessive.
"The next award is for Best Sound Effects...and the presenter is Dianne Wiest, star of Hannah and Her Sisters."
"Huh?" Ronald's heart moved. Best Sound Effects is a minor award. Among the nominees this year, the sound effects personnel for Dances with Wolves were the same team that did the sound effects for Hannah and his sisters.
Later, he also participated in the work of a baseball movie starring Kevin Costner, and he handled it smoothly.
"The winners of the Best Sound Effects Award are Jeffrey Perkins, Bill W. Benton, and Gregory H. Watkins..." Dianne Wiest said with a very gentle and beautiful voice.
The names of these people came out, "Dances with Wolves".
"Hey..." While applauding, Ronald discovered that the producers this time were very much in the tradition of old-school award ceremonies. Whenever possible, they would always have well-connected award presenters come, so that they would have some old-school respect for the winners.
