“Let us welcome the appearance of the beautiful Jared Leto, who wears the bluest suit and the whitest leather shoes.！”
Amid Neil's joking, Jared Leto, last year's Best Supporting Actor winner, appeared tonight wearing a powder blue suit and ivory white leather shoes. His unconventional and bold outfit was undoubtedly unique on the red carpet. With his unique style, he could easily stand out among the black suits and white shirts. Coupled with his bright long hair, he was indeed worthy of the adjective "beautiful", which made many guests at the scene cheer. whistled.
Jared, who walked on the stage calmly, was a little shy because of the guests' jokes. He pursed his lips and smiled, but he quickly calmed down, "Every nominee for Best Supporting Actress has a recognized For her strength and superb acting skills, there are four nominees, plus Meryl Streep, who must be nominated according to California law..”
In an instant, the whole audience burst into laughter！
Meryl has been successfully nominated every year. In addition to the joking nickname of "cancer", there are quite a few jokes about her. Now Jared has said one of them: This has been written into the law..
Every guest in the audience could taste the ridicule and burst into laughter instantly. The camera's close-up shot showed Meryl herself. She was even more dumbfounded, supporting her forehead and covering her cheeks with her palms. He shook his head helplessly.
“Thank you all for coming." Jared said, "Actually, I was very nervous about this joke..." The laughter became even more joyful, and even Jared himself laughed, but he still had to continue to complete his task," They all have profound skills, and I am honored to announce their names. The actors nominated for Best Supporting Actress are……”
“Patricia Arquette from "Boyhood", Emma Stone from "Birdman", Keira Knightley from "The Imitation Game", Meryl Streep from "The Jungle Book" , Laura Dern in "Into the Wild".
In a similar situation to the Best Supporting Actor department, three Best Picture nominees, "Boyhood," "Birdman" and "The Imitation Game," have entered the final five, as the second phase of the awards season progresses. The confrontation between "Boyhood" and "Birdman" has become the main focus. "Birdman", which continues to gain momentum, has vaguely shown a transcendent attitude, which also makes the Oscar ceremony full of unpredictable suspense..
Naturally, the rivalry between Patricia Arquette and Emma Stone has become the focus.
Throughout the entire awards season, Patricia led the way, and was once neck and neck with Simmons, which made the supporting role department lose suspense; but Emma's subsequent catch-up broke the entire pattern, especially since the upward momentum of "Birdman" was unstoppable. It also caused a sudden drastic change in the situation in the Best Supporting Actress department..
This is also the reason why the Academy changed the order of the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards. The suspense now indeed exists. Just like "Breaking Drummer", if "Boyhood" still expects to remain competitive, then Best Supporting Actress is an award that cannot be missed.
Everyone's attention was focused on Jared, who was a little nervous and took a deep breath, "The Oscar winner is..." The audience froze for a moment, "Patricia Arquette, 'Boyhood'’.”
Still no surprises.
Patricia, who stepped on the stage, took out the thank-you speech she had prepared earlier - a very large piece of A4 paper. The length was so exaggerated that the guests couldn't help but chuckle. Obviously, Pat Lisha has been prepared in advance. After all, she is the most popular throughout the awards season..
There were no surprises in the first half of the acceptance speech. There were a lot of names listed to ensure that I didn’t forget anyone. But the second half of the acceptance speech was full of twists and turns..
Patricia first mentioned the website she was building for environmental protection, and then changed the topic, "Thank you to every mother, every taxpayer, every American citizen..." There was some booing at the scene, and they thought she was about to shout for environmental protection. , but did not expect, "We are fighting for equality for everyone. It is time to completely solve the problem of unequal salary treatment and equality between men and women.".”
Thunderous applause from the audience.
Countless female guests did not expect this scene to come. Many people cheered, whistled, applauded, and even stood up to give Patricia the highest respect. The applause continued to roar. Listening, echoing for a long time.
People have long expected that the issue of "equal pay for men and women" is likely to become a major topic at the awards ceremony. The only question is how it will be mentioned..
Now the answer is revealed, Patricia has found her voice and a determined call to action.
The second half of the Oscars kicked off in this way：
“"Boyhood" takes home the night's first statuette, joining "Crunch" and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" in continuing its lead in the Best Picture race; Patricia makes a surprise mention became the hottest topic during this year’s awards season and won countless attention.
Then, a series of awards were awarded one after another.
Best Animated Short Film, "Fantasy"; Best Animated Feature Film, "Big Bucks" - Don Hall specifically mentioned Renly in his acceptance speech, "I guess tonight's No. 1 episode about Renly A question was answered.”
“"Can Renly win the statuette?": The answer is yes, "Power Rangers" is Renly's first statuette, in an unexpected way.
Don Hall won the audience's hilarious award with his witty banter.
Best Live Action Short, "Suicide Hotline"; Best Documentary Short, "Crisis Line"; Best Documentary Feature, "Citizen 4" - and the winner is sparking debate.
When Neil came on the stage again to complete his lines, he joked, "Snowden, the protagonist of 'Citizen 4', was unable to come to the scene tonight because of 'treason'".”
This joke successfully won the biggest laugh since the beginning.
After "Selma Parade" successfully won the Best Original Song Award for its theme song "Glory", the presentation of the Best Cinematography Award also opened the final sprint for the Best Picture battle..
“"The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Mr. Turner", "Sister Ida", "Unbreakable", "Birdman", these are the five nominees for Best Cinematography.
Following last year, Emmanuel Lubezki and Roger Deakins, the two top photography masters in the industry, once again faced off, and the result of this confrontation was that after "Gravity" defeated "Prisoners", Ai Manuel once again won the Best Cinematography Award for "Birdman", defeating "Unbreakable" Roger.
This is also the first time in 20 years since John-Toll won the Best Cinematography Award in 1995 and 1996 for "Love Day" and "Braveheart" that someone has accomplished such a feat again. , Emmanuel Lubezki has truly established himself as a master in the industry.
And Roger Deakins is still the uncrowned king.
More importantly, "Birdman" won the first statuette tonight. Although it was a little late, "Birdman" still successfully caught up with other major competitors, and he was the strongest in his own hands. On all items, there was no miss. Like all the competitors in the first group, they continued their strong momentum throughout the awards season and won the awards that they "should" get. This also means that the overall public relations of the college in the second stage The pattern has not been broken yet——
There is no upset, which means that the suspense still continues, and the battle for best picture is still foggy..
Then, the big prize that promises to be a watershed moment comes on the scene: Best Editing！
The five nominated works are "Crack Drummer," "American Sniper," "The Grand Budapest Hotel," "Boyhood," and "The Imitation Game."”.
Although "Birdman", the biggest hit in the second stage of the awards season, is unfortunately absent, from an editing point of view, this work, which stunned the entire award season with its long shots, is indeed not competitive. The finalist who succeeded in the top five was impressively Strong contenders for this year's best film.
In particular, the troika of "Crunch", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", and "Boyhood".
If "Boyhood" or "The Grand Budapest Hotel" can win, then the best picture will most likely be produced among these two works, and "Birdman"'s counterattack in the second stage will come to an abrupt end, and then the awards will be awarded Ji once again returned to the main theme of the first stage, either Richard Linklater or Wes Anderson.
If "Crackling Drummer" can win, those works will also catch up and be tied with "Birdman" and "Boyhood", further disrupting the best picture pattern and allowing the ultimate award, which is already full of countless suspense, to continue to maintain suspense. Even covered with a layer of mystery.
But what if there is a shocking upset? If "American Sniper" or "The Imitation Game", two works that are both absent from Best Director, win unexpectedly, then the entire situation will be even more chaotic. It also means that the hope of "Boyhood" is gradually dwindling, and "Birds" "People" will rise in an all-round way.
In other words, even if "Birdman" failed to win the nomination for Best Editing, the trend of awards in this department still has a decisive point in pointing to the work, allowing people to further understand the trend of votes from the Academy judges, and provide a basis for tonight's awards status. Take the pulse and bring more tips.
It is precisely because of this that the Best Editing Award itself has some suspense. Following the Best Supporting Actress, the tense atmosphere of the award ceremony once again tightened, allowing people to truly feel the heavy weight of the Oscar..
Benedict Cumberbatch and Naomi Watts stepped onto the stage as award presenters. It was obvious that they were a little nervous. Naomi accidentally bumped the microphone when she opened the envelope and almost lost her voice. Knocking the microphone over made Benedict almost laugh, but he quickly announced the winning results.：
“The winner of the 87th Academy Award for Best Editing is... Tom-Cross, 'Cruel Drummer'’.”
Chaos！
Absolute chaos！
Total chaos！
Tom Cross, who was nominated for the first time and won the award strongly, brought the third statuette trophy tonight to "Breaking Drummer", continuing to add chips to this unique and eccentric work, sweeping away Sony classics in the awards season The haze and dullness of the second stage caught up with me on the night of the awards ceremony.！
