2330 Smooth sailing
Ethan Hall, Edward Norton, Mark Ruffalo, Steve Carell, each actor is a veteran with deep roots in the industry, each with their own advantages, and the roles they play The work is so powerful that the competition has become fierce in one fell swoop..
From the perspective of college public relations, anyone may have the last laugh..
However, when the tense and explosive performance clips of JK Simmons and Renly Hall were played on the big screen, all the guests in the audience gave their heartfelt respect and admiration with searing and crazy applause, and everyone was unanimous. 's reaction seems to have given the correct answer in advance.
It can be seen from this small detail that Simmons has been the best in this year's awards season with his solid and fascinating performance. Perhaps from the perspective of the academy's public relations, Simmons is in a disadvantageous situation; perhaps From the perspective of connections and relationships, Simmons has no advantage...but his absolute strength and outstanding strength still make Simmons the clear favorite for the Best Supporting Actor department this year..
So, are there any changes in the second phase of the awards season? Has college PR changed the landscape? Is the race for Best Picture a surprise from the first award? The most important thing is whether Sony Classics, which has been plagued by hacking incidents, really fell behind in the second stage.？
After the shortlisted short films were played, Rooney opened the envelope in her hand and said, "The winner of the 87th Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is..." She took out the burgundy card from the golden envelope, looked down at the list, and her eyes filled with emotion. With a faint smile, he looked up at the audience again, "JK Simmons, 'Explosion Drummer'"’.”
One of the awards with the least suspense in the entire awards season, there was no surprise after all. Simmons won the top spot in a row.！
Although all signs have proved this, when the results of the award were actually announced, Simmons' emotions still surged uncontrollably. After kissing his wife, he quickly walked onto the stage and was applauded by the audience. In the midst of it, he walked towards Rooney step by step..
When Simmons saw the warm smile on Rooney's face, his panic calmed down a little. At such moments, it is always good to see familiar faces..
Rooney opened her arms, gave Simmons a big hug, and congratulated her sincerely, "Congratulations! You deserve this.".”
Rooney still clearly remembers that she went to New York to visit the crew of "Breaking Drummer" and witnessed Renly and Simmons' performances at the scene. She also personally experienced the two actors' obsessive and exhausted rivalry scenes. It was undoubtedly very special. An experience, it is even more extraordinary to be able to personally hand over the statuette trophy to Simmons..
Simmons looked at Rooney's smiling face, still a little reserved, not sure whether she should shake hands or kiss each other. This made the smile flow in Rooney's eyes. She gestured to the microphone and took the initiative to step back half way. Step forward and give the stage to Simmons.
Only then did Simmons find his direction..
Standing in front of the microphone, Simmons was a little nervous and a little reserved. He firmly grasped the statuette trophy with both hands. He had mixed feelings. His awkward look made every guest present feel the same - they understood it better than anyone else. Simmons, struggling to move forward in a long trough, is not even sure whether his persistence is meaningful or whether he is hurting the support of his family and chasing an illusory dream..
They are also ordinary people.
Renly stood up first and applauded Simmons..
Edith and Jack also stood up, and then one after another, the guests present also stood up - not many, not even a quarter. In terms of connections and status in the industry, Simmons is still not too outstanding. ; But just like Don Quixote, even if it is a companion, it is happiness.
“Thank you, thank you all." Simmons' emotions gradually calmed down, and the bright smile on his face was obviously much calmer. "Thank you to the academy, thank you to every member of the 'Breaking Drummer' crew, and thank you Renly Hall for being willing to give me This acting opportunity, and discussing the role of Fletcher with me on set.”
There was a round of applause to pay tribute to Renly..
Simmons continued, "I am grateful every day for the most extraordinary person in my life: my wife, the lovely and amazing Michelle Schumacher." A close-up of Simmons was shown on the scene. ’s wife, which made the guests applaud..
“I am grateful for your kindness, wisdom and love. Your sacrifice...and your patience." Behind these simple words, there are so many memories belonging to them as a couple that Simmons' voice was slightly choked, only Only they themselves can know how many ups and downs they have gone through to get to this point. "Next, I want to talk about some of my unsatisfactory children.……”
There was a chuckle at the scene.
“Although I try to be more patient, Joe and Olivia, you are both outstanding, smart, humorous, kind and loving, all of which you inherited from your mother." Simmons also teased a little. , "If you are allowed, I would like to ask you to call your mother, call your parents, if you are lucky enough, your parents are still alive, call them. I am serious..”
Under the stage, Renly and Edith both looked at each other, a faint smile flashed across their eyes, and they could understand each other's joke without using words.——
While the other guests were moved by Simmons' speech, they were wondering if Elizabeth would be frightened if they really called her..
Simmons ended his acceptance speech and left the stage hand in hand with Rooney. The announcement of the first statuette came to an end, and "Exploding Drummer" successfully got off to a good start..
Strictly speaking, this was an expected award. After the awards season entered late December, Simmons gradually stood out, almost showing a sweep of important awards, leading all the way, and in the battle for Best Supporting Actor. , far ahead. This can be regarded as an award that Simmons won early. Winning tonight successfully is just a matter of course. It cannot be regarded as proof that "Breaking Drummer" has an advantage in the competition for best picture..
But on the other hand, "Explosive Drummer" steadily won the first trophy in the opening ceremony, continuing its stable performance since the second stage of the awards season. Sony Classics has not lost its chain after the test of the hacking incident, which also proves that, In the battle for best picture, they still firmly occupy a place.
this is good news.
Later, Neil took the stage again to perform. If Allen's trump card last year was social networking, then Neil chose...magic this year..
Movie fans who are familiar with Neil know that he is a magic master and has demonstrated his magic on many different occasions. Tonight, he brought his magic to the academy stage..
Neil cleverly brought in PricewaterhouseCoopers, who was responsible for counting the votes, and showed the audience the black briefcase that PricewaterhouseCoopers used to enclose the list of winners, and locked the briefcase in a transparent box. The whole process was shown to the audience; obviously, Neil's magic was about to change the list of winners. He deliberately invited the former Best Supporting Actress winner Octavia Spencer to help "guard" and invited everyone to witness.
No one knows what kind of medicine Neil is selling in his gourd, but at least Neil skillfully displayed the mystery of PwC and the list of winners in front of the audience and created suspense. So, this is a success. . Next, it depends on how Neil should reveal the answer to the mystery..
“The guest who is about to appear next has special powers. He will find you and kill you, but before that he still has work to do. Please, Liam Neeson）.”
Liam Neeson came on stage specifically to introduce tonight's nominees for Best Picture. He was responsible for introducing two of them, "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and "American Sniper"”.
At this point, the awards ceremony has finally begun, and it can be clearly felt that the smoke of winning the best picture has filled the Dolby Theater..
It was still the technical department that was the first to reveal the answer..
"The Grand Budapest Hotel", which jointly leads the Oscar nomination list with nine nominations, is undoubtedly the strongest contender in the technical department..
Next is "Interstellar", which received five nominations in the technical department. Although it failed in all major award departments, including regrettably missing out on the Best Picture nomination, the advantages of the technical department were still fully reflected. This is the only A work that can compete with "The Grand Budapest Hotel".
Of course, works such as "The Jungle Book," "Mr. Turner," "Sex/Inherent Evil," "Maleficent," and "Guardians of the Galaxy" also have a place in the technical department..
Among the relatively professional and focused technical departments, the influence of the academy's public relations is relatively weak, which also means that other works are capable of fighting for it; and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" wants to continue its competitiveness as the best film, The technical department must perform well, as in last year's "Gravity"”.
The first trophy awarded was the Best Costume Design Award.：
“Four works including "Maleficent", "Negro", "Mr. Turner" and "Sex/Inherent Evil" surrounded "The Grand Budapest Hotel", but in the end, the best picture with impeccable sense of age and design won the best film. The favorite, still won strongly without any suspense, and won the first statuette in the technical department tonight..
Just like the "Exploding Drummer", "The Grand Budapest Hotel" also started smoothly, and steadily won the first trophy that it had an advantage in. The entire awards ceremony set sail steadily, and the subsequent awards were announced one after another and continued the momentum. "The Grand Budapest Hotel" showed its unparalleled praise during this year's awards season, and continued to win three statuettes in succession, showing a strong performance..
A leader, he deserves to be a leader. Even when the voices of his opponents are rising, the performance of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" is still solid..
