1468 Chapter 1468 The first suspense
After all the guests were in their seats, the award ceremony officially kicked off. This year's ceremony was a unique opening with the performance of the Nominated Works for the Best Costume Design Award, which made Hugo feel a little speechless. Not only Hugo, but all the guests at the scene looked a little weird, because this year's nominated works were really...special.
"Restoration" is a gorgeous palace clothing with a unique flavor; while "Brave Heart" is mostly civilian clothing during the war, there are also many palace clothing, which is worth seeing.
The story background of "Richard III" is adapted from the 1930s, which is very close to the modern feeling; "reason and emotion" are more of the clothing from the early 19th century. Although it has rich characteristics of the times, most of them are rural civilian clothing, which is naturally not as gorgeous and cumbersome as the aristocrats.
The last seat belongs to the "Twelve Monkeys", this...isn't this a science fiction movie that has no connection with clothing?
The costumes of these five works appear on one stage at the same time. The spectacular scene turned the fashion show into a stupid and funny show. The weird time travel effect made people not know what reaction to deal with it. So, just one opening made everyone messy in the wind, and almost everyone's face seemed to be smiling, angry, and angry, and their expressions were really elusive. If the director was willing to capture the expressions of the guests on the scene, it would be very interesting.
Charlize, who was sitting on Hugo's right, was already a little nervous. When she saw the model wearing prisoner's clothes and following the court skirt, she almost didn't laugh. She cast a look at Hugo, as if saying, "Is this normal?" Hugo was also dumbfounded and shook his head, saying that she didn't understand what the director was thinking.
The seating arrangement today is very interesting, not arranged by the crew members, but by the award department. The nominees from the four acting departments sat together. On Hugo's right is Charlize, and then Nicholas Cage; on the left is Meryl Streep, and then Anthony Hopkins; behind Hugo is Kevin Spacey.
The laughable opening soon ended in awkward embarrassment. Then Whoopi Goldberg appeared on the stage in a loose leopard-printed floor dress, attracting whistles and laughter at the scene. Since David Letterman's host last year could be called a disaster, Whoopi, who was well-received the previous year, accepted the invitation again and appeared in the host's position.
The second time she appeared on this stage, Wubi was obviously still a little nervous. She just walked onto the stage and squirted at the garlic, but she was not panicked at all. She stopped in place, raised her head and looked at the quiet guests below. It seemed that everyone was scared by this little accident. She glanced among the guests in the front rows, and her eyes finally stopped on Hugo, "Oh, oh, oh, little naughty, don't look at me with that look. Although you have never been the type I like, I still have my heartbeat."
The director found the right time to point the camera at Hugo, and then Hugo's surprised expression appeared on the big screen. In an instant, the whole scene clapped his hands and laughed. Hugo also reacted at this time. Wubi took advantage of this accident and actually made him laugh, which made him laugh.
After Wubi resolved the small crisis, she walked to the center of the stage calmly again, "Wow, it's the annual Oscar season again, Christmas for the actors, but this Santa Claus may not necessarily give everyone a gift." Wubi opened up the situation with a relaxed joke, "But personally, I have always liked movie actors, no, I should say I have full respect for them."
"Movie stars can play various types of roles, tall, short, fat, thin..." As he said, Wubi also gestured and outlined the proportion of his body shape with his plump figure, causing a chuckle to sound. "Sometimes they dressed as politicians, sometimes they dressed as street beggars, and sometimes they dressed as street prostitutes." The last word came out, and a small number of people in the scene shouted softly, because the word "prostitute" was not allowed to appear on the live broadcast of public TV stations, but Wubi didn't care too much and quickly took it over. "I admire them and admire them, but sometimes I feel dissatisfied with them, for example, some of them only cooperated with their other half."
After Whoopi finished speaking, he stopped and looked in Brad Pitt's direction as if nothing had happened. This immediately reminded people of the cooperation between Brad and Gwyneth in the "Seven Deadly Sins". A chuckle immediately sounded. Brad smiled heartlessly, and Gwyneth, who was sitting next to Brad, obviously had a stiff expression.
Ubi just paused for a moment and continued, "Sometimes I feel scared of them, because they always play some terrible murderers or mental patients." Ubi's eyes glanced slightly and fell on Hugo, and the people around him laughed even more happily, and the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was also outlined, and he shrugged helplessly, as if expressing his kindness, which made people laugh even brighter.
"Sometimes I feel jealous of them because they can always have something to do with their dream lover." Whoopi's gaze turned for a while, and finally fell on Emma Thompson, and everyone in the audience clapped and laughed.
When Emma was filming "Reason and Emotion", as a screenwriter, she wrote a kiss scene with Hugh Grant out of selfishness. Li An finished filming of this scene, but the final release version was cut all because the scene did not need to exist at all. Emma also admitted that she wrote this scene specifically because she wanted to kiss her.
Emma herself didn't mind at all, and even gave Oobi a blowing kiss, which made the applause even more intense.
Although the opening fashion show was really terrible, it is undeniable that Wubi's ease and witty words made the atmosphere suddenly rise.
In the opening of less than seven minutes, Whoopi almost teased the whole Hollywood, and finally looked at Hugo with a squinted look, "Dear Hugo, you know you always have my heart." This made the audience burst into laughter again, and Hugo smiled helplessly, "Then, let's reveal the final result of the chaos in the opening. Don't worry, this time we don't need to see the prisoners and nobles performing on the same stage."
This unrestrained but harmless teasing made everyone applaud and sent Wubi. The award presenter immediately appeared and announced the winner of the Best Clothing Design Award. "Flat Bringing Question" successfully won and snatched the first Little Golden Man of the 68th session, which also announced that the main part of the award ceremony was officially staged!
Because this year's Oscar was unique and presented the Best Clothing Design Award to the first award, the supporting role department was not presented at the opening as usual, but instead awarded several technical awards in advance. The Best Art Direction Award was also won by "Flat and Blooming Question". In the competition for the Best Photography Award, "Brave Heart" won the first Little Golden Man tonight.
If the suspense of the Best Clothing Design Award and the Best Art Direction Award is not very high, then the competition for the Best Photography Award is undoubtedly very fierce. In this department, not only are commercial blockbusters like "Batman forever" shortlisted, but also delicate and profound art works like "reason and emotion". Works with sharp styles such as "Seven Deadly Sins" are also ranked among the nominations, but the result is that "brave heart" defeating all the heroes, which is really beyond everyone's expectations.
No one will forget that in the battle for the best film tonight, "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" are leading the way, while "Reason and Emotion" and "Baby Pig" are absolutely popular before the Oscars. Now, it is obvious that "Brave Heart" has started to start first.
Tonight's awards ceremony will obviously be very interesting.
Then, tonight's first major department award officially took the stage, and last year's Oscar winner Martin Landau walked onto the stage and was responsible for awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award.
This year's Best Supporting Actress Department is undoubtedly very interesting, because the overall strength is not outstanding. Originally, people were most optimistic about Kate Winslet's emergence by relying on "reason and emotion", but as a result, Kate not only failed the Golden Globe Award, but also the prospect of "reason and emotion" in the Oscars has also begun to hinder, which made the award trend confusing.
Finally, the School of Film Arts and Sciences once again showed her unique love for Woody Allen, a literary old man. After awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award to "Bullets Over Broadway" directed by Woody last year, this year he awarded the award again to Woody's work "Non-Strong Spring. Medicine". After Mira Sorvino won the Golden Globe Award, he once again won the Oscar.
This undoubtedly made countless people fall into the eye because Mira was criticized after the Golden Globes. People generally believe that her strength is not enough to crown the award, especially the Oscars always like to commend young actresses. According to this rule, Mira, who is already twenty-nine years old this year, is definitely not as likely to win the award as Kate, who is only twenty years old. However, this is the Oscar. Mira, who was nominated for the first time, made a big splash and won her first Little Golden Man. The academy unveiled the veil of this year's Oscar in an unconventional way.
The award of Best Supporting Actor was immediately given, which made everyone start to wonder. If we look at the trend of Best Supporting Actress Awards, then the winner of Best Supporting Actor Award is... Brad Pitt?
