2334 Continue to heat up
“Phew, am I the only one feeling the heat wave? I'm starting to miss my bathrobe." When Neil Patrick Harris took the stage again, he offered a light tease that hinted at the tension that continues to heat up at the Dolby Theater, even as host..
“What follows will inevitably be a highly anticipated Oscar moment. Let us invite, Scarlett Johansson！”
Scarlett, wearing an emerald green long dress, walked onto the stage amidst the applause of the audience, "Fifty years ago, Beatlemania swept the country, and the United States fell deeper and deeper into the quagmire of the Vietnam War. Martin Luther -Dr. King marched from Selma to Montgomery, while, on March 2, at the Rivoli Theater in New York, the question was heard for the first time, 'What shall we do with Mary?’.”
“An optimistic and kind-hearted novice nun, standing on the top of the mountain, showing people her beautiful singing voice, this movie is of course 'The Sound of Music'. We have no choice but to fall in love with Maria. Twentieth Century Fox Produced by Robert Wise and starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, 'The Sound of Music' won five Oscars, including Best Picture.”
“It was undoubtedly a box office hit at the time, but later it gradually became a classic in film history..”
Scarlett Johansson officially introduced "The Sound of Music", which is also one of the important aspects of tonight's Oscars. After playing the classic clips of the movie, Scarlett invited tonight's special guest performer: Lady Gaga.
As a pop queen, Lady Gaga has a background in dance music, but many people ignore her musical literacy and profound foundation because of her exaggerated fashion style. In fact, her musical attainments are very outstanding, and she later released a jazz album; tonight, she The combination of traditional bel canto and modern interpretation reinterprets the soundtrack of "The Sound of Music", which is absolutely stunning..
At the end of the performance, Lady Gaga received a standing ovation from the audience, the second time tonight since her "Glory" live performance..
Then, Miss Gaga officially invited Julie Andrews to the stage. The applause at the Dolby Theater reached a new high. All the guests stood for a long time and no one sat down. In this way, they expressed their high respect to Julie..
Edith, who was standing next to Renly, stared at the stage with tears in her eyes. She couldn't restrain her excitement and excitement. She applauded intently and seriously. Everyone has their own softness in their heart, just like the nanny Denise- Stevens is like Edith. The "Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins Returns" have irreplaceable importance to her..
As if aware of Renly's gaze, Edith turned her head and saw the gentle smile on Renly's face, with a slight hint of teasing and ridicule in her eyes - just like Renly's usual style, she seemed to be teasing Edith. The embarrassment made Edith chuckle..
Bathed in the applause of the audience, Julie expressed her gratitude and simple thoughts, and then she was responsible for awarding the two trophies of the script department..
Surprisingly, the first award to be awarded was the more competitive Best Original Screenplay Award..
“"Boyhood", "Birdman", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Foxcatcher", "Nightcrawler", this is the final list of nominees.
Compared with adapted scripts, the original department has gathered three popular pornographic contestants, as well as the strongest among non-franchise contestants, "Foxcatcher". Even the script of "Nightcrawler" also won the award during the awards season. The recognition of many awards has also made the competition more and more fierce, which can be called a bayonet seeing red..
Previously on the Screenwriters Guild of America Award, the final top work was "The Grand Budapest Hotel", which is also generally considered to be the key to the film. Because of the lack of competitiveness in the acting department, if "The Grand Budapest Hotel" wants to continue to maintain competitiveness, then the best original screenplay cannot be missed; on the contrary, once missed, it will break the balance, and the negative impact brought by Scott Rudin will explode..
In other words, this is the second turning point after the Best Editing Award - but I didn't expect that the Academy would choose to be the first to award the Best Original Screenplay Award. Could it be that rumors within the Academy have changed the direction? So, is "The Grand Budapest Hotel" changing in a positive or negative direction?？
Julie Andrews opened the golden envelope in her hand, glanced down, and then pulled the envelope slightly away to ensure that she could see the font clearly, "The winner of the 87th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is ...'Birdman.'" Followed by a long list of screenwriters' names. Unlike other works, "Birdman" was co-written by four Mexican screenwriters. The super-long name is really embarrassing. Julie.
The first surprise finally occurred, just as the award ceremony entered the final sprint.——
"The Grand Budapest Hotel", which was destined to win the Best Original Screenplay Award, was kicked out. "Birdman" carried a strong counterattack momentum in the second stage, continuously overtaking "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and defeating "Boyhood", and won tonight's award. In addition to the second statuette, he has firmly taken the initiative..
The most shocking thing is that "Birdman" didn't even win a Writers Guild of America nomination! This is definitely an accident, an amazing and explosive accident！
In the second stage, the power of college public relations is gradually revealed..
The applause of the audience was mixed with some unclear looks, and it was impossible to tell whether it was gloating or regret. For Scott Rudin, that was one thing; but for Wes Anderson and the crew of "The Grand Budapest Hotel" , that's another thing：
Having won four consecutive Oscars before, people once thought that this work was still a big hit tonight, and the impact of the hacking incident seemed to have never happened; but when it came to the real movie, the first one to fall off the chain was "The Grand Budapest Hotel" ”, continuing the downward trend since the second stage.
“"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is generally considered to be Wes Anderson's masterpiece. Wes, whose main style is fresh and colorful, is the first and probably only time that he can make a difference above the Oscars. Moreover, the chance was very, very good; the result was just dissipated.
Among the people looking at each other in confusion at the scene, Harvey Weinstein looked like an old man. Not only was he not nervous or surprised at all, but he was actually enjoying it.——
When Harvey made his decision, he knew that "The Imitation Game" was basically out of the running for Best Picture. The four leading films this year were all too special. Even "Selma" had already been eliminated early. It’s also difficult for “The Imitation Game” to rely on *** topics, including “The Theory of Everything”, which is still barely popular..
But Harvey doesn't care, because the most important thing is Best Actor, and all other situations can be put aside. This is the top priority this year..
Therefore, at this moment, Harvey can completely relax and watch the melee in front of him as a bystander. Not only does he have no regrets, but he also feels a little gloating. The longer the suspense is maintained, the more interesting things become..
After waiting for the acceptance speech to end, the mood of the guests at the scene was aroused - since the Academy has moved up the position of the best original screenplay, and it has caused a slight upset; then, does this mean that, The judges have sensed the trend, and the best adapted screenplay will be a shocking upset.？
The list of nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay pales in comparison to the list of nominees for Best Original Screenplay..
“"The Imitation Game", "The Theory of Everything", "Crackling Drummer", "The American Slugger", "Sex/Inherent Evil"”.
Throughout the awards season, the adapted screenplay department has never been able to form a stable lineup. For example, among the top five nominees of the Writers Guild of America, there are even nominees such as "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Gone Girl", and "Into the Wild" , and then all were brushed off when it came to the Oscars; similar changes appeared in major outposts, and even the Oscar nomination list could not be determined, which also added more suspense to the adapted screenplay department..
Overall, "The Imitation Game" and "Crackling Drummer" are the two most stable works, and the nominations for important outposts are almost all included. The only doubt is that because Damien Chazelle once shot a short film of the same name from I publicize that this also makes whether the script of "Breaking Drummer" is original or adapted. Different associations have different definitions, which also makes its nominations move back and forth between original and adapted..
Of course, when it came to the Oscars in the end, "Breaking Drummer" was still classified in the adaptation department..
It is precisely because of this that "The Imitation Game" performed more consistently and better in major outposts. Not only did it easily win the Writers Guild of America Award - "Crackling Drummer" was placed in the original department, but lost to "Budapest Grand Prix" "Hotel", and it was also the only adaptation work among the top five nominees at the Golden Globe Awards, which did not distinguish between adaptations and original works, edging out "Breaking Drummer".
Naturally, "The Imitation Game" is the No. 1 favorite for Best Adapted Screenplay.
If - just on a theoretical level, "The Imitation Game" still hopes to have an impact on the best picture, then the best adapted screenplay is the award that must win; and if "The Imitation Game" has no ambition for the best picture , then Best Adapted Screenplay is also the only award they can strive for..
From any perspective, this is very important.
Bob Weinstein was a little uneasy. After all, this was related to the efforts of the Weinstein Films throughout the awards season; but when he turned around, he saw Harvey who was indifferent. When it comes to choices, Harvey is the real one. With a heroic demeanor, Bob couldn't help but sigh softly in his heart. He didn't know if he still cared about this award..
While Bob was distracted, Julie on the stage announced the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award..
“‘Explosive Drummer', Damien Chazelle.”
The second accident occurred immediately after.
boom！
Boom boom！
All the guests in the audience were in a stir, with screams and cheers everywhere. Damien, who was nominated for the first time, could not even find anyone to invest in the production of "Breaking Drummer", but now, he has officially Coronation statuette crown！
