In addition to the fixed awards that are awarded in every Oscar, there are also many honorary awards that are not available in every Oscar. These awards basically have one thing in common, which is that they will be named after a leading figure in the field of the award.
The Gordon E. Sawyer Award (pioneer in studio recording and post-production technology) is a lifetime achievement award given to those who have made outstanding contributions in the field of film technology.
This year's Gordon E. Sawyer Award was awarded to stop-motion animation master Ray Harryhausen. Many fantasy films in the 1950s were made with the technology he developed. Those huge monsters are driven by electricity.
Before model technology took shape, it was all shot with stop-motion animation.
Tom Hanks awarded him the award, "If Stallone is the muscle of Hollywood, Geena Davis is the thigh of Hollywood, and people like Ray Harryhausen are the backbone of the movie..."
This evaluation is very high, but it is hard to say how many people in the audience sincerely applauded. The audience in front of the TV did not know what you were talking about, and the ratings dropped for a short time.
Instead, Ronald thought of Roger Corman, who also made monster fantasy films in the 1950s. Although he cultivated countless directors and talents, he was not within the mainstream Hollywood system, and was not
This kind of pioneering talent in technology does not even have an honorary award today.
Should we talk to people like Coppola, Scorsese, Cameron, and Jonathan Demme who are indebted to him, and try to find a way to promote Oscar recognition for him? Even if not, at least he should be recognized on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Add a star.
"Next, I'd like to invite Richard Gere..."
The focus of the Oscar awards show is for stars to present awards to stars, so as long as the audience remembers the stars, they will try to invite them to present various awards. The popularity of Richard Gere's previous "Pretty Woman" has not completely passed, but it is not sensational.
A new work has come out, so it is appropriate to award such a moderate award.
"We all have this red ribbon tied on the outside of the clothes we wear today. This is to call for strengthening research on... This is not something that can be accomplished by just appealing, it requires a lot of money investment.
I think in today's international situation, a large amount of defense budget expenditure should be cut and the money saved should be spent on this... Please write to your public opinion representatives and senators... Only in this way will they take it seriously.
, your voice will be heard..."
"Why……"
Ronald sighed silently. Some people just don't want to be left alone and don't consider whether their status is appropriate for such a thing. You are just a beautiful star with average acting skills. Why do you think you are capable?
What political activities are the public called upon to engage in?
The Oscar awards show often times out. The key is that people often add drama to themselves... Who wants to listen to your political preaching? Everyone is waiting to see the highlight...
Because a lot of time was given to his own political demands, the nominations and the announcement of the winners were speeded up and hasty. Robert Richardson, the assassin of JFK, won the award and did not even have enough time to finish his speech.
The middle part of the awards ceremony was filled with these awards, neither big nor small, important to the industry, not important to the TV audience. Laura Dern presented the award to the team of Terminator 2, the winner of best visual effects, Ronald's special effects
The director, Van Fleet, who also received a statuette (along with four others), could only say one thing that the famous otaku could say: Computer graphics special effects would become an increasingly common technology in movies.
After Patrick Schwytz (also a favorite star of the audience) awarded the Best Score to the animated film Beauty and the Beast, Academy President Jack Valenti came out directly to introduce Audrey Hepburn to present this year's Oscar.
Honorable Mention.
Satyajit Ray, the famous Indian director, weakly accepted the Oscar honorary award in his hospital bed. He clutched the Oscar statuette tightly in his hand and kept talking about writing letters to famous Hollywood stars.
How to obtain nutrients from Hollywood to shoot his own movies made Ronald feel unbearable. He has never received investment from Hollywood in his life, and can only use the simplest equipment to shoot...
During the break during the performance, Ronald quickly sneaked into the rest area at the back and saw Yimou, accompanied by Yang Yanzi, chatting happily with the reporters. If there were questions that were difficult to answer, he pretended not to understand.
, and answer what you want to say by yourself.
Yang Yanzi also gave him an expression, indicating that everything was under control and that the policy formulated by Pat Kingsley in advance was very effective. Even if the reporters did not get the answers they wanted, they were amused by Yimou's simple sense of humor.
You have to laugh, anyway, there is no need to worry about a popular report...
Taking advantage of the moment when the red light of the live broadcast of the camera was not on, Ronald and the official substitute sitting in his seat came back. Next, it was time to enter the most critical awards.
The first award was for Best Original Screenplay. The female screenwriter of Thelma and Louise, Carly Curry, defeated the black screenwriter John Singleton and the middle-aged white male screenwriter James Toback. I have to say
The level of protest can still solve the problem to a certain extent.
The competition for Best Adapted Screenplay is also fierce, with JFK and Sons of the Wave also nominated. Ronald is most worried about the low-cost production of "Fried Green Tomatoes". The story of this film is unique and very popular in the industry.
People's favorite.
"The winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay award is... The Silence of the Lambs, Ted Tully..."
Suddenly, the applause became fierce, attracting the side glances of award presenters Angelica Huston and Robert Duvall.
"Dudududu..."
The dull and depressing theme song of "Silence of the Lambs" sounded for the first time since the opening host Billy Crystal dressed up as Hannibal. Ted Talley walked quickly with his bald head shining under the lights.
Walked up.
Ronald felt that all the pores in his body were relaxed.
This award marks that "Silence of the Lambs" finally won a heavyweight award. After losing the two technical awards of Best Sound Mixing and Best Editing to Terminator 2 and Assassination of JKF respectively, the artistic performance category award
The first time it fell on Silence of the Lambs.
Although I am very confident in my videotape tactics, the final award is also a psychological confirmation. After all, the sound effects of the Terminator and the various images in the assassination of JFK are too outstanding.
"Finally won the award..."
Unlike Ronald, Jodie Foster, Anthony Hopkins, Jonathan Demme and others, they do not have so much confidence in videotape tactics. Therefore, this award has a far more consoling effect on them.
Far more than Ronald.
"This is just the beginning..."
Jodie Foster's eyes widened, and she didn't know the source of Ronald's confidence.
"Five talented actors nominated for Best Actor:"
Last year's Best Actress, Kathy Bates, took the stage to present the Best Actor Award.
"Warren Beatty, heroic and heroic..."
Every time Kathy Bates mentions a nominee, she pauses to give the audience time to applaud.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..." The audience at the scene automatically cooperated with the still shots of the five nominees taken from the nominated movies that appeared on the screen.
"Robert De Niro, Cape Fear..."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoosh..."
"Anthony Hopkins...The Silence of the Lambs"
"Hua hua hua...oh oh oh..."
Coupled with the close-up of Anthony Hopkins' half-smiling look on the big screen, the applause at the scene suddenly increased by ten degrees, accompanied by various mixed shouts of male and female voices, and loud whistles.
"Nick Nolte...son of the wave..."
"Wow, wow, wow..." The applause returned to normal.
Warren Beatty in the front row blurted out "Oh, God..."
Nick Nolte, and the fifth nominee, The Fisherman actor Robin Williams (Robert De Niro was not present), both noticed this sign, and frustration began to appear on their faces. But
Kathy Bates on the stage has not yet opened the envelope, anything is possible. Mixed with unwillingness and expectation, they all swallowed their saliva nervously.
"Best Actor goes to...Anthony Hope..."
"Ahhhh..."
The sound of the scene drowned out Kathy Bates's reading.
Anthony Hopkins stood up triumphantly, turned around and kissed his wife. He took the stage like a lion, kissed Kathy Bates forcefully, and then took the statuette.
The one who laughed the most in the audience was Jodie Foster. She clapped vigorously and kept looking in Ronald's direction, so that her face was a little distorted and she was grinning.
"Did you really win a prize?"
"Oh, we're done, they're going for the Grand Slam..."
Warren Beatty deserves to have been in Hollywood for so many years. One look at this posture, and it's clear that this year's Silence of the Lambs is unstoppable.
"Honey, there are still three awards, and the decision has not yet been decided..." Annette Bening looked back unyieldingly. She heard what her husband Beatty said, but how could she believe it? We also saw it at the Golden Globe Awards.
Won best picture...
"You don't understand..." Warren Beatty did not argue. He took the lead and stood up to applaud Anthony Hopkins.
"Ouch..." There was a sound of chair springs, and everyone at the scene stood up and applauded.
This is an unusual award!
Anthony Hopkins' entire performance lasts just over twenty minutes in the entire movie!
And this "Silence of the Lambs" was released at the beginning of the year!
And damn this "Silence of the Lambs" is a horror movie!
So many impossibilities, superimposed together, make it appear that his award was well-received. The voices of the entire audience can attest to this!
Anthony Hopkins held the statuette in one hand and raised his other hand high in the air to salute the audience who stood and applauded.
Jonathan Demi smiled so hard that he could hardly close his jaw. He heard what Ronald just said was just the beginning, and now he began to believe it.
"God, this is really unpredictable. I never thought I would win an award, especially competing with so many talented actors...Thank you to the Academy and the Oscars for showing me such love. I want to say something to my mother first,
I love you, she is watching me live in Wales..."
Anthony Hopkins has a unique elegant accent from Shakespeare's plays, and he has thanked many people. His hands have been fidgeting with his tie, sometimes touching his head, sometimes playing with the buttons of his shirt. It seems that he is real.
I didn't expect to win the award today.
This kind of humble behavior actually aroused the good impression of the audience, and the applause continued.
Anthony Hopkins was a little too excited. He didn't remember that he didn't thank his colleagues and producers on the set until he was interviewed backstage. "God, I forgot to thank Jonathan, Judy, and Ronald. Without them
It’s impossible to have this movie…”
At the same time, at the award ceremony, the music of Beauty and the Beast played, and a handsome man with long flowing hair came on stage to accept the award. He was the late lyricist Howard Ashman's "partner" Billy. He replaced the late lyricist Howard Ashman's "partner" Billy.
Ashman came to accept the award for Best Original Song.
"Howard and I live in a house, we share everything, and this moment to me is painfully sweet..."
Oscar was still thoughtful and humane, and his acceptance speech did not reveal their relationship...
"In sports competitions, the champion is the fastest runner and the highest jumper, but in acting, who decides who is the best? This is why the Best Actor Award is a painful decision every year. Last year
The Academy has nominated five talented ladies..."
Michael Douglas took the stage to present the Best Actress Award. This was a reflection of his recent popularity for "Basic Instinct". He broke with convention and replaced last year's Best Actor Jeremy Irons to present the award.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Susan Sarandon...Thelma and Louise..."
Laura Dern…The Easily Rose…
Geena Davis…Thelma and Louise…
Jodie Foster…The Silence of the Lambs…
Betty…………………………………………”
The same situation happened again. The shouts and whistles of the audience overwhelmed the voices behind the announcement of the nominees.
"Jodie Foster...The Silence of the Lambs..."
The theme song of Silence of the Lambs sounded for the third time...
The audience applauded again, Ronald looked back at Jonathan Demme, and the two of them laughed tacitly.
Jodie Foster even smiled crookedly, walked with a wind, and walked onto the stage as lightly as a high school girl. Today she wore a light pink pantsuit and white lace gloves.
"Ah ha ha……"
She burst into laughter as she opened her mouth, and Jodie Foster's excitement was palpable. Fortunately, she was a top student at Yale, and her thank-you speech was watertight... She thanked all the stars who had won Best Actress before her...
…
"Every director who is nominated will wonder, is there something in my movie that is not good enough? Are all the things I care about being felt by the audience?"
Last year's Best Director Kevin Costner took the stage to present the Best Director Award.
Nominations for directors have video clips of their on-set work as the backdrop for announcing the nominations. This is the Academy's preference for directors, a position that is most important to a film's success.
There were no wild cheers from the audience this time. After all, many directors’ work is not understood by the actors and judges. However, Jonathan Demme’s applause was still louder than that of Oliver Stone, Barry Levinson, and Red.
Leigh Scott and others came loudly, but only black director John Singleton received vigorous applause from the black audience, with a similar momentum.
“The Oscar goes to Jonathan Demme, The Silence of the Lambs…”
Jonathan Demi's expression was very calm. He felt that his popularity was not as good as that of the male and female protagonists, and he was worried that he would become the only loser. The sudden news made him a little stunned, so he decided to kiss his wife first...
"In my lifetime of love for movies, tonight's honor is something I never imagined. I can only attribute it to screenwriter Tully, uh, uh... and my director of photography, Tucker Fujimoto, uh, sorry, but also
My casting director, Howard Foer, helped me cast great actors like Tony and Judy...
Um... Um, sorry, I also want to thank Daydream and Ronald, and Mike Medavoy of TriStar Pictures. Without their great assistance, this movie would not be in the tragedy of Orion's bankruptcy.
Re-photographed…
Uh-huh...ahhh...thank you!"
Jonathan Demme, who was already nervous and incoherent, finally stammered and thanked everyone...and left the stage amidst the kind applause of the audience.
The final award presenters were heavyweights Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor. This was also a sign of respect for the old stars.
"We come to the final awards, Best Picture...the five nominated films this year are..." Paul Newman mainly introduced the nominations.
"The Oscar is awarded to..." Star Elizabeth Taylor has managed her figure very well and has regained 70% of her youthful charm today...
"The Silence of the Lambs, Ronald Lee, Mike Medavoy..."
"Dududu...du..." the theme song sounded for the fifth time.
"Ahhh..." Diane happily hugged Ronald and kissed him passionately. This is the third time in the history of the Oscars that a film has won the five most important artistic awards, including best screenplay, best director, and best film.
Leading actor and actress, and Best Picture. The last two films to win this Grand Slam were "It Happened One Night" in 1934 and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" in 1975.
"Oh God..." Ronald held up the statuette, and Mike Medavoy asked him to be the main candidate to deliver the speech.
"I never imagined this day when I took over the film project from Orion. Thanks to their executives for their consistent support of the director's artistic freedom in making films. I deeply believe that this is the principle of making outstanding films...
"
Ronald talked eloquently, made some innuendo at Orion's blind and richest boss, and ended his speech happily.
Although it's still a bit regretful, it would be great if this was the Best Director Award, but whatever, let's have fun tonight first.
