"Welcome to the Oscars, tonight we are all here for the movie... When it comes to watching movies, there used to be only one hall in the cinema, but now there are multiple halls. Multi-hall means that you go to see a movie, but you can hear
The voices of the four departments..."
Billy Crystal dropped that Silence of the Lambs mask and started being funny (host).
"We have our first animated feature nominated for Best Picture, which I feel like everyone is going to love...and also welcoming the youngest nominee in history for Best Screenplay and Best Director, John Singleton...who's on his block
The story is about two irresponsible people who cause chaos, rightly or wrongly, and may also cause legal trouble... It's a pity that Bill from Arkansas and Brown from California can't come in person tonight..."
His joke was about two politicians from the Donkey Party trying to compete for the election nomination. Their campaign caused all kinds of chaos, gossip and scandals.
"Let's talk about Bugsy, ten nominations. Warren Beatty went through an extraordinary year. He was depressed, then had a child, then got married... (This is a joke about his inability to do anything.
It's the other way around...)
Although the recent economic situation is not good and the economic recession has affected everyone, the famous producer Orion has also announced bankruptcy and reorganization. Their Mozart Biography and Platoon a few years ago both won the Oscar for Best Picture, and then they
They fell into financial difficulties, sold Dances with Wolves to someone else, last year they won the best movie, and this year they sold The Silence of the Lambs to someone else... Sometimes success lies in perseverance..."
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The on-site director promptly focused the camera on Ronald and Mike Medavoy, the two people who contributed the most to these two films that won multiple Oscar nominations the year before and after.
Ronald kept a reserved smile. Generally speaking, the host would tease some of the movies that were nominated for best picture at the beginning. Judging from the time allocation he gave to each movie, you can know that in
In Hollywood, which movie is the most popular?
Billy Crystal then started singing and dancing in an old-fashioned musical, and made some jokes by incorporating scenes from each of the nominated movies.
If Warren Beatty was a little uncomfortable with the applause given to Anthony Hopkins just now, he is clearly back in his comfort zone now. Billy Crystal spends almost half of the page making fun of him
The "heroic world".
Another one that took up a lot of time was Barbra Streisand's movie "The Prince of Waves," which she attended after some hesitation and "at the request of everyone" at the awards show.
Although there were no nominations for Best Director or Best Actress, Barbra Streisand's "Prince of Waves" still received seven nominations. She did not dare to offend other people on the crew too much.
Billy Crystal counted the achievements of this movie on the stage, and then asked, "Did you direct this movie yourself?"
Streisand forced a smile below. In fact, the TV audience heard these words as a complaint that Barbra Streisand did not win the best director, but to the ears of insiders, it sounded as if she was mocking her for not winning the best director.
What are you doing as a director?
"Silence of the Lambs" and "Other People's Money" did not get a lot of ridicule time. They only appeared in the last few lines of Billy Crystal's lyrics. Like supporting roles, one line of each line was dismissed.
.
Now it was Ronald's turn to mutter, "This doesn't feel right?"
…
The first award, as usual, is the Best Supporting Actor. This year's award guest is last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Whoopi Goldberg. She collaborated with director Emile Adolino on "Sisters", which has already been released in
The filming was completed at the beginning of the year and is now in the intense editing process.
Ronald has seen the sample film. It is a very interesting comedy film and it really makes people laugh.
Whoopi was sitting right behind Ronald. She got up and went backstage in advance to prepare for the awards. She also patted Diane on the shoulder and made a good-luck expression.
This year's award process has changed, and then it will be Diane's Best Supporting Actress.
"Oh, I'm nervous...Who will be the Best Supporting Actor?" Diane pretended not to think about the Best Supporting Actress thing.
The competition for Best Supporting Actor this year is actually very strong. In addition to the two Best Supporting Actor nominees for "The Big Apple", there are also Tommy Lee Jones for the assassin of JFK and Jack Palance for "City Hillbilly".
They are all actors with a long history of making movies.
"The winner of Best Supporting Actor is..." Whoopi Goldberg didn't pretend to be mysterious and directly called the winner's name, "Jack Palance..."
"Oh oh..." Diane clapped with great vigor.
Ronald was also very happy. The heroic start was unlucky, which was good news for him.
"Oh... you know, when you reach a certain age, when the producers discuss whether to use you, they will say, what do you think? Should we risk using him? Another producer will say
,Forget it, we’d better find someone younger. Young people can put on makeup to look older, but older people... it’s a bit difficult..."
The audience below, especially Jessica Tandy in the first row, the oldest actress, feels very close to me.
"But they forgot. You can let me go to the scene and I will do something for them..." Jack Palance ran to the side, got down on the spot, and then did five push-ups with one hand.
"Ah ha ha ha ha..."
The entire audience burst into laughter. Originally, the speech for Best Supporting Actor was not very long, but for an actor like this, more speeches would be very helpful in increasing the ratings.
"Actually, it's nothing at all. I do more than two hundred push-ups every night...whether she's down there or not..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Hahahaha..."
No one can stop the old actor from speaking in a pornographic accent, and both Ronald and Diane almost burst out laughing.
"I was taking a break backstage and Jack Palance was running on the treadmill..."
After a short break, Billy Crystal took the stage and made another joke about Palance.
"Next up, we have Christopher Lloyd and Rebecca De Mornay..."
Two male and female celebrities who were popular a few years ago took the stage to present awards for the best makeup. Neither of them had any recent works, but their roles that year still left a deep impression on the audience, so it was most appropriate to present such a small award.
"The winner of the Oscar for Best Makeup is... Hey, where's the envelope?" De Mornay, who had an unforgettable passionate scene with Tom Cruise back then, pretended to be surprised.
"Forget it, did someone give us the envelope?" Dr. Lloyd, who plays Back to the Future, looks back...
A small car was pulled by a hand model, with two fingers constantly tapping, and brought the winner's envelope to the stage, which vividly demonstrated the role of makeup in the movie.
"Stan Winston, Terminator Part 2..."
After thanking Schwarzenegger and Cameron, Billy Crystal came up and announced that the next award would be Best Supporting Actress.
Ronald suddenly felt that Diane beside him had stiffened.
"Relax..." Ronald held Diane's hand and gave her a little support.
"It's a joy to announce the nominees for Best Supporting Actress, and what we're seeing are five nominees ranging in age from none of your business to none of your business... It speaks volumes that acting is a matter of talent.
Rather than a job of time…”
The last time he won the Best Supporting Actor, Joe Pesci from Home Alone, this time it was his turn to announce the winner, and he showed his humorous nature. Last time he won the award, he couldn't say a word...
"Diane Ladd...Julia Louise...Jessica Tandy...Kate Nerigan, and Diane Lane..."
His joke was quite appropriate, because Jessica Tandy is 82 years old and is the oldest actress in history.
"Oscars go to...Diane Lane, other people's money..."
"Oh oh..."
Diane let out a long breath and finally relaxed. She and Ronald kissed each other in front of the camera, then stood up and pulled the back of the black evening dress, trying to create the most perfect imagination.
"Don't forget to give your acceptance speech..." Ronald reminded quickly, taking it out of his pocket and handing it over.
Because the award-winning dress of a female star must be swaying, and she must never use any pockets to ruin her image.
Diane held the note of appreciation in one hand and received the trophy from Joe Pesci in the other.
"Ah..." Diane had a confident smile on her face. The trophy seemed to give her confidence. She put the trophy down and started to give her acceptance speech.
"My father taught me acting as soon as I could speak, and I appeared on Broadway at the age of four... But like all actresses, I experienced auditions and rejections, played small roles, and was spotted by famous directors.
, a box office failure... of all things.
Today I can finally put all of this behind me and enjoy the moment. I want to thank Mr. Gregory Peck for your unforgettable grace. I want to thank Tom Hanks. Hi Tom... And finally thank you
My husband, who is also the director, Ronald...thank you!"
"Congratulations……"
Several people around her who were nominated, such as Anthony Hopkins and Jodie Foster, came to congratulate her. Because Diane was about to go backstage for an interview, they expressed their congratulations to Ronald.
"It seems that the momentum is good..." Ronald knew in his heart that this was a kind of psychological comfort. The highlight was immediately, the best actor, best actress and best director awards. The Silence of the Lambs, Prince of Waves, and The Greatest Love were direct competitors.
, need some good luck blessing.
But Diane's good luck did not continue...
"Jack Palance just bungee jumped off the Hollywood sign in Beverly Hills. Kids these days are really adventurous..."
Every time Billy Crystal makes a joke now, he always talks about Jack Palance, "Of course I didn't get the nomination, Jack did, why? Because I'm a woman..." He teased Barbra Streisand again.
"Now, Annette Bening will be invited to present the award for Best Art Direction..."
"Well..." Now there is a strong hint as to who this award belongs to.
"The Oscar for Best Art Direction goes to...hehe..." Annette Bening couldn't help but chuckle on the stage, "Dennis Castro, heroic...and the set, Nancy...
Hagrid..."
Now the crew of "The Great Love" sitting in front were all smiles. Although it was a small prize, it was also a very good sign.
"Well..." Ronald stroked his beard, small prizes don't count, small prizes don't count...
The next guest to present the award was Steven Spielberg. He held a trophy that was different from the ordinary Oscar statuette. The trophy was in the shape of a person's big head.
"What I want to present is the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award. The Academy does not award this award every year. They will only award this trophy if they feel that an important producer should receive the award.
The Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award is given to a talented young man who, in the 1920s, changed all movies of that era with his vision beyond his times, his keen sense of story, and his precise eye for actors.
method of production.
Fifty years later, another young man also changed Hollywood movies with his outstanding vision and unremitting pursuit of vision.
He was my great colleague, loyal friend, George Lucas..."
"Wow wow wow..." Everyone stood up and praised this great director and producer who introduced the spectacle of special effects into Hollywood movies, expanded the limits of imagination, and most importantly, changed foreign perceptions of Hollywood movies.
with applause.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Movies cannot be made by one person. All producers, directors, actors, screenwriters, behind-the-scenes staff, assistants, and projectionists,
Only then can I stand here.
I would also like to thank all the mentors in my life. My parents first gave me the enthusiasm to pursue my ideals, and Francis (Coppola) supported me. Finally, they are also my most important mentors. My two
children, they taught me a lot...
I hope this is a midpoint in my career, and I will continue to work hard to bring you more movies in the future..."
"Wait a minute, someone else wants to thank you..." Spielberg stopped Lucas who was about to go down while playing the "Star Wars" theme song.
On the screen behind, the space shuttle "Atlantis" currently on a space mission appeared.
Led by the commander, the seven astronauts thanked George Lucas's movies for bringing enthusiasm for technology and space exploration to a new generation of American young people.
There is also an Oscar trophy on the screen, floating in the air in front of everyone.
"Wow wow wow..." This unique congratulatory video gave the audience a different look and feel - Lucas' influence has actually exceeded the film industry.
…
There are two movies currently showing, one is a Spanish movie called "The Sexiest Man in the World", and the other is... ahem, many people think that the heroine is the sexiest woman in the world "Instinct"
”.
Let's welcome Sharon Stone and Antonio Banderas for Best Sound.
The Terminator sequel won this award. Next, Demi Moore also presented an award for the best costume design, and the winner was "The Greatest Love". Ronald and the Silence of the Lambs crew around him were really silent.
Next, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis, the two leading ladies of "Thelma and Louise" who had yet to win anything tonight (both were nominated for Best Actress), took the stage to present the award for Best Editing.
"The ending of Thelma and Louise was edited, so it's a little blurry." Geena Davis obviously wore sexier clothes than Sarandon.
"Why is it so blurry? The two of us drove into the Grand Canyon... What else is there to be blurry about?"
"Can we catch something along the way, or fly directly over the canyon and land on the other side?"
"Okay, so we can make a sequel..."
The two joked about "The Terminator Sequel" which won two minor awards, "The winner of the Best Editing Award is... The Assassination of JFK..."
Finally, I laughed at Oliver Stone, who has won three Best Director awards. This Editing Award generally has a high degree of overlap with Best Director. In many cases, it is difficult to distinguish between Editing and Director, so the judges
They affirmed the editing, which means they affirmed the director to a certain extent.
"Jack Palance has returned backstage, riding a spinning bike..." Billy Crystal came up to make a joke about Palance again, and it was time to present the last award before the halftime show.
"The award guest is a good actor. He has played the prehistoric Iceman and the gangster in Chinatown. Of course, his most famous role is the last emperor of the East. He is John Long. His role in The Last Emperor
The performance made audiences all over the world regard him as the spokesperson of the emperor, except of course, China..."
"Making movies is not only something you learn in school, filmmakers also have to learn how to shoot from social reality..."
John Long’s English is very good and makes the audience feel friendly. “The nominees for Best Foreign Language Film are...Iceland - Son of Nature...Hong Kong - Raise the Red Lantern...
The winner for Best Foreign Language Film is..."
A smile appeared on John Long's lips...
“Raise the Red Lantern, directed by Yimou Zhang!”
Ronald was applauding happily below. This award was a great encouragement to him.
The videotape strategy seems to be working well. In addition to Diane's Best Supporting Actress, Raise the Red Lantern also won the Best Foreign Language Film. Moreover, the organizing committee specially invited Chinese actor John Long as a guest in advance. Watch
The effect of this public relations strategy is amazing.
“I’m sorry, I Dongte, Spike, English...” Yimou was wearing a custom-made tuxedo, which finally covered up his rusticity a lot.
He finished the sentence he had memorized by rote, then switched to Chinese and asked John Long to translate it for him.
"I would like to thank the organizing committee for the honor given to me, thank the producer Era International, thank America's publisher Daydream for helping me, thank you all..."
Just as Diane came back from being interviewed backstage, "Hey, they won an award?"
"Yes..." Ronald was different from the surrounding Silence of the Lambs crew members. He was in a more relaxed and happy mood. He also looked at each other with Warren Beatty and Oliver Stone in front of him.
, briefly exchanged glances.
"Eh? Why is he so confident? Is he confident that he can win the award or has he given up?" Warren Beatty looked at the two statuettes that his crew had already won, and still chose to believe in his party offensive...
