It can be said that the film with the most nominations for this Oscar is "Gladiator", with a total of 12 nominations. It is also a big favorite at this Oscar.
In comparison, "The Pursuit of Happyness" directed by Yi Feiyang is a bit "weak" and only received five nominations in total. However, being nominated means being competitive, and being competitive means having hope. If you want to rely on
It’s really funny that blockbuster horror movies such as “Saw” were nominated for Oscars for pure fantasy entertainment. Even the musical “The Dance”, which ushered in a new era of singing and dancing, couldn’t be completely accepted by the mainstream Oscars.
Accept it, so being nominated for an Oscar is actually a victory.
The host of this year's Oscars is talk show star Steve Martin. This famous talk show host and comedy movie actor is still continuing his humorous genius and playing tricks on the stage. In fact, this hosting style
The main reason why it has always been popular is that it can make the atmosphere relaxed and entertaining enough. This is also different from the previous Chinese hosts who wore suits and had serious faces - in a word, American programs pursue entertainment, while Chinese programs pursue entertainment.
Political. Polarization, very serious.
As the awards ceremony begins, the smaller awards have already been divided. Among them, the best soundtrack nominated for the dreamy "The Pursuit of Happiness" did not win. On the contrary, the best soundtrack nominated for "Gladiator" did not win.
Having won the Oscar, it can be said that Universal Pictures took the lead and won the game.
After the best costumes and best music were awarded, the award for best original screenplay came next.
The nominees for this award are still "The Pursuit of Happyness" and "Gladiator", in addition to "Love for Chocolate", "Never Compromise", and "Almost Famous". As for Dream's old rival Colombia's "
"Muhammad Ali" was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay.
As for who can win this time, there is some suspense.
As the director and screenwriter of "The Pursuit of Happyness", Yi Feiyang is inevitably a little nervous. Although he won the Best Screenplay award last time, as the saying goes, who would think that he won less awards? If
If he can win the award for the second time, it will directly push his screenwriting career to the top. Now is the final sprint.
The host on the podium, Steve Martin, was showing off: "Recently, when I go to Starbucks to drink coffee, I meet a lot of acquaintances, and the first words they say hello to me are no longer, Hi Martin, your hair is bald again.
Did you use Green Olive shampoo instead of Green Olive shampoo?! Hey, Martin, who will win the Oscar for Best Screenplay this time?"
"I said, how do I know? The other party generously called the waiter and bought me a large cup of cappuccino and sweet little pudding, and then said, man, these are all yours,
You can eat it, as long as you help out when awarding the best screenwriter award!"
"I said, how can I help. He said, it's very simple, man, if the best screenwriter award this time is "Gladiator", you just gesture to the camera like a gladiator, yes, it's the kind of holding a hand
Sword and shield and tiger fighting posture... If it's "The Pursuit of Happiness", you just blink your electric eyes similar to Will Smith... If it's neither of the two, then you don't have to do anything and just announce the result.
That’s it!”
When Steve said this, he smiled and said, "Now I just want to know if Mr. Eastwood, the guest who will present the award for Best Screenplay next, the 'old cowboy' of Hollywood, can give me a hint first.
.Is it a sword and shield, or a charming electric eye?"
Following Steve's joke, the award guest, former Oscar winner Eastwood, came on stage.
Eastwood is one of the most charismatic actors in Hollywood. Although he is almost 70 years old, he is still graceful. When he went on stage, some fans even screamed for him.
Eastwood stood in front of the award podium and said with a smile: "I am very happy that an old man like me can still be welcomed by everyone, especially those screams. It seems that I only heard them forty years ago, but now
, thank God for allowing me to relive that wonderful moment again!”
After a warm speech, Eastwood opened a large envelope with the secret of the best screenwriter. The atmosphere at the scene became tense as he opened the envelope with his hands, especially everyone from the "Gladiator" camp was in the palm of his hand.
I was sweating a lot.
I just won one, and if I try it again, it will be even more popular!
As one of the nominees, Yi Feiyang acted calm and calm, as if he was indifferent to the world, but he was extremely excited inside, especially his hot eyes that betrayed him.
He was like the dangerous hero in his own horror movie, waiting for God's judgment.
In fact, the crew members of "The Pursuit of Happyness" are more nervous than Yi Feiyang at this time. You must know that the best screenplay award is a very important award among the five nominations for this drama. If Yi Feiyang can
Scoring twice will undoubtedly bring good omens to this game.
But will the Oscars happen?
Would such an important award be awarded to the same person?! And he’s still Chinese?!
In the words of some Hollywood people, man, you have won an award once, and Lady Luck will never be your aunt!
…
After everyone waited, the award envelope was finally opened. Eastwood glanced at the envelope and said: "Now I announce that the person who won the Oscar for Best Screenplay this time is - "Almost Famous" -
-Cameron Crowe, congratulations to him!”
As Eastwood's words fell, Cameron Crowe, a fat man with brown hair who was not expected by others, stood up as excitedly as a child, grabbed his fists and shouted: "Yes-
--!"
The applause rang out, and everyone turned their attention to this dark horse who suddenly appeared. He was unattractive and had not been noticed by everyone before, but it was him who defeated "Gladiator" and "The Pursuit of Happiness", which had the greatest hope of winning.
", won this year's Best Screenplay Award!
Extraordinary rise!
The dark horse emerges!
As a relatively unknown director and screenwriter in the United States, this little fat brown man seemed unable to believe that he had actually won the award. In his excitement, he kissed the people around him crazily and made the poor guy next to him drool all over his face.
The award presenter called him to hurry up to the stage to receive the award, and the fat man ran up. Maybe because he was too excited, he accidentally almost slipped when he went up the steps. But this did not hinder him.
The brown-haired fat man was so excited that after hugging the host and award guest Eastwood, he accepted the award, kissed it, and said a very fucking Oscar speech: "That damn cat in our house will never be the same again."
You can’t eat my pizza either!”
Everyone looked at each other, confused. Afterwards, people learned that this Cameron Crowe was also a wife slave who was oppressed by his wife. Because he could not write good scripts, he was always punished by his wife and threw his pizza at home.
cats eat...
Therefore, every successful screenwriter has an unforgettable and sad history behind him.
The unexpected win of the little fat brown guy greatly inspired the nominees and winners who had not received much attention before. It turns out that we guys with low popularity also have spring! At this moment, I can see them gearing up one by one and becoming high-spirited.
As for "Gladiator", the Universal boss bit his lip and muttered softly: "It's a pity, but we still have many opportunities..." His eyes narrowed.
After the Best Screenplay Awards were presented, in order to liven up the atmosphere, the organizers specially invited famous American singers to sing several of their famous songs.
Rock, lyric, country, the tastes are so varied, it's a feast for the ears.
As soon as the lively performance on the stage ended, the host Steve stood up and made jokes again, making everyone couldn't help but laugh. I have to say that American humor and this unique talk show
, it is really popular.
Yi Feiyang, who was devastated to lose the best screenwriter, was also smiling at the talk show in front of him. He even thought that this type of host is used as the emcee at every Oscar. The purpose is probably other than their wit and humor.
In addition, there are also treatments for the unlucky ones who lost their prizes.
The awards continued, and then a series of minor awards were awarded for Best Sound Effects, Best Visual Effects, etc., and then it was the turn of Best Adapted Screenplay. This time, Columbia, which has always been unknown, actually came out on top with "Muhammad Ali" and won the award.
this award.
You know, in the previous life, this award was won by "Drug Network", but now it has changed!
Yes, everything has changed!
From the moment Yi Feiyang was nominated for "Happiness", this Oscar was different from the original one. There was no "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" but more "Muhammad Ali"... everything was different.
the original trajectory.
Colombia won the award. As the person in charge, Abbas beamed with joy. He did not forget to throw a contemptuous smile at Yi Feiyang, who still had zero results. The meaning is self-evident, damn guy, how about he lost a round?!
In fact, this is indeed the case. "The Pursuit of Happiness" directed by Yi Feiyang received five nominations. Now the best soundtrack and best screenplay have been lost, leaving the three most valuable ones, not to mention the risk factor.
It’s too big. Could it be that we really want zero eggs this time?!
Yi Feiyang is very depressed, extremely depressed.
No matter how interesting the talk show on the stage was, it couldn't make him laugh. Anne Hathaway, who was sitting next to him, seemed to see his mood, so she held his hand with her jade hand and said, "Yi, don't be discouraged."
, I support you, we still have a chance, right?"
Yes, there is still a chance, although the chance is very slim, but I will not give up just yet!
Yi Feiyang regained his spirits and waited for the next award ceremony.
Compared with Yi Feiyang's resurgence, others on the "Happiness" crew were obviously a little discouraged. Whether it was Will Smith, who was nominated, or Bill Clinton, who came to watch the fun, they all felt that the surroundings were lifeless, "Oh,
God, are we really going to lose miserably this time?!"
