“We have a long, long history with the next award guest, and the most significant part of it comes tonight: Everyone on social media is cursing me, Neil Patrick Harris, why tonight No baggage about him? I want to see his footage.”
No further introduction is needed, some guests already started laughing..
“But I must say, because he shines too brightly now, I am worried about being accused of taking advantage of the popularity. Then, my lightning will be snatched away by him. God, this should be the only stage that belongs to me this year, how can I let go? Woolen cloth? I must block him, I must! no other choice.”
Neil, who came on stage again, joked in the simplest way. Amidst the chuckles of the audience, "Gentlemen and ladies, let us welcome you with applause. I try to make friends but my Facebook friend application never works." The gentleman who was ignored but I still won’t give up trying, Renly Hall.”
Applause, ring out.
Renly walked onto the stage holding a golden envelope. Under the spotlight, all the lights were focused on him. His elegant and calm steps stopped in front of the microphone, "Obviously, when I was hiding in the lounge and eating potatoes, When I posted the article, many people were saying my name, so I appeared. But here, I must clarify that I have nothing to do with Aladdin, and this is definitely not a movie advertisement..”
What a cold joke.
But Renly's light and joking way of handling it was unique. He easily connected Damien and Neil's affairs, and also complained about the "Aladdin" movie that Disney is preparing. Rumor has it that Disney hopes to invite a A famous actor will star in the magic lantern.
Then, the cold jokes are full of wit and successfully make the laughter ring gently..
Renly only clicked through, and then went to his own work, "Frank-Capra once said that there are no rules in making movies, only sins, and the number one sin is boring. These five The nominees for Best Director are definitely not boring people. We are very honored to live in an era when the film industry is booming, allowing the audience to wander in the kingdom of imagination..”
“The following are the nominees for Best Director." As the award guest, Renly did not intend to steal the spotlight and completed the work step by step..
“Richard Linklater from "Boyhood", Wes Anderson from "The Grand Budapest Hotel", Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu from "Birdman", Darius from "Crack Drummer" Myan Chazelle, Bennett Miller of "Foxcatcher".
In addition to Best Picture and Best Actor, Best Director is undoubtedly one of the most suspenseful awards at this year's awards ceremony, but the intensity is slightly different..
Throughout the entire awards season, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson and Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu have received unanimous recognition from the perspective of directing skills. All nominations for important associations or awards were successfully shortlisted, and they were firmly among the "Troika"”.
The other two seats were a melee. Eight to ten directors could be seen competing for their works back and forth. The bayonet scene was extremely fierce. In the end, Damien Chazelle and Bennett Miller were chosen. Two directors worked together to win the counterattack, giving the battle for best director a cruel and bloody atmosphere..
On the whole, Damien, who is under 30 years old, was already a victory when he was nominated for the first time. Bennett, who narrowly won as a dark horse and reached the top five, has consumed all his energy. The main competition still revolves around the troika, and hackers The impact of the incident left Wes behind - this was further proven by the loss of the Best Original Screenplay award after the "Birdman" comeback, which then left two directors, Richard and Alejandro, to compete..
It just so happens that "Boyhood" and "Birdman" are the main themes of the second stage of competition. It is no exaggeration to say that the direction of Best Director is likely to determine the direction of Best Picture, mainly because these two works kill It is difficult to distinguish them. The situation and gap between them are very close. The best director will become the key to changing the overall pattern. Its importance will rise linearly, and its attention will naturally increase..
Among the "three major indicators" of the Oscars, the Golden Globe Award and the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Award, plus the British Academy Award, Richard Linklater was chosen..
In addition to the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award, Seattle Film Critics Association Award, and San Francisco Film Critics Association Award, the Directors Guild of America Award also selected Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu..
The National Board of Review Award unexpectedly chose Clint Eastwood of "American Sniper" - the old cowboy didn't even win an Oscar nomination; the New York Film Critics Circle Award even unexpectedly chose Damien - Chazelle, this is also a rare choice among outpost towns.
In terms of the number and weight of awards, Richard Linklater is slightly better; however, the most lethal Directors Guild of America Award was given to Alejandro - sixty-six so far. Of the 2018 Directors Guild of America Awards, only six winners failed to win the Oscar..
Of course, the last time such a tragedy occurred was just two years ago, and Ben Affleck in "Escape from Tehran" didn't even get an Oscar nomination..
Judging from the rules, Richard Linklater's odds are slightly better, and many major cities have chosen this independent director without hesitation; but judging from the rising momentum of the academy's public relations in the second phase, Ariel Sandro González Iñárritu should have the advantage - a gesture epitomized by the Directors Guild of America Awards, where the winners were announced just last week..
Objectively speaking, the prediction accuracy of the three major weather vanes of the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the National Board of Review Awards and the Golden Globe Awards is declining; the deviation rates of the Screen Actors Guild Awards and the Directors Guild of America Awards are also increasing. Everything All prove that the elusiveness of college public relations in the second stage is becoming more and more obvious. Even the Weinstein brothers are gradually losing the control they had five or three years ago..
In previous years, the trend of the second stage will become more and more clear; but this year, due to the lack of dominant works, the situation of close strength has completely disrupted the rhythm of the trend - although for the audience, there is a lack of excitement; but for the audience As far as the topic is concerned, it is a purely natural way to make machines..
So, Richard or Alejandro, who can win? Going one step further, who can win the Best Picture contender?？
Everyone in the audience held their breath, and all their eyes fell on Renly. It was scorching and raging, as if billowing heat waves were licking the surface of his skin..
Judging from the cheers at the scene, the person who received the most support... was actually Wes Anderson. If there was no Scott Rudin in the hacking incident, then this year is likely to be the year when "The Grand Budapest Hotel" completes its reign. Even "Boyhood" and "Birdman" can't compete with this work; it's a pity that without IF, this highly praised and well-received masterpiece is fully in line with the taste of the academy, but it can only remain on the sidelines..
“I guess now is not the time to joke." Renly successfully defused the tense atmosphere with an irony. He also smiled and opened the envelope without delay, "The 87th Academy Award for Best Director. The winner is……”
Edith, who was sitting in the audience, was not nervous at all. She was just a member of the crowd who came to join in the fun. Even though she was nervous, she should have won the Best Actor award. However, the special atmosphere at the Dolby Theater made her a little more excited and excited. It condenses a little bit, so that the tension spreads.
At this moment, Edith's palms couldn't help but sweat, and she couldn't help but squeeze them. She stared at Renly's face through the light screen, trying to distinguish some clues from that expression; but Renly remained calm and calm. The poker face is so deceptive that it is impossible to tell the difference..
“That guy." Edith seemed to be able to see Renly's second face laughing wildly. At present, he was the only one in the entire Dolby Theater who had glimpsed the answer first. That kind of pride and joy was reflected in a short pause. , shown vividly, Edith is really powerless to complain.
one second.
In fact, Renly only paused for a second. He did not deliberately create suspense, nor did he announce the answer in a hurry. However, this time of breathing created a strong sense of suffocation, and the air in the whole place seemed to have solidified, and then Lanly The sound of the ceremony was slowed down ten times from the speakers..
“Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu, 'Birdman'’.”
“"Birdman" won. "Birdman" incredibly overtook "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and overturned "Boyhood." With its comprehensive acceleration in the second stage, "Birdman" defeated the two biggest favorites of the entire awards season and successfully topped the list. After Alfonso Cuarón won the Oscar, Alejandro brought the Best Director statuette back to Mexico for the second consecutive year..
This is the power of college public relations！
The "Birdman" who never received enough attention in the early stages of the first stage had the last laugh with his accurate positioning and strong public relations..
Of course, from a technical perspective, Alejandro has indeed shown a superb level, which is not inferior to competitors such as Richard and Weiss, just like Alfonso's dominance in directing skills last year. , Alejandro also showed his ability through "Birdman" this year——
Since being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film in 2000 with "Love is a Bitch", he has been sharpening his sword for fifteen years and finally reached the top with this Hollywood self-deprecating work. The powerful forces of the "Mexican Legion" have fully invaded Hollywood, and it has become a the most powerful force in the past ten years.
Richard Linklater, who spent twelve years creating "Boyhood," and Wes Anderson, who devoted himself to creating the pinnacle of his career, "The Grand Budapest Hotel," unfortunately missed the Oscar..
Renly welcomed Alejandro with a smile, and Alejandro gave Renly a big hug, and even patted Renly hard on the back, which made all the guests follow suit. Heckling - Renly doesn't like hugs, and it's no secret in Hollywood.
