Chapter 1153: 1153
There is suspense, but no accident; there is thrilling, but not bloody.
Uma was not able to win the best supporting actress statuette, and people were either curious, expected or worried, and Hugo handed the statuette in his hand to the excited Diana West, who was her The second Oscar statuette, and also the second time she relied on the works of Woody Allen to win the statuette - the last time was "Hannah Sisters" in 1986.
After handing over the stage to Diana, Hugo left the stage under the guidance of the emcee.
When he returned to the waiting room, Hugo was surrounded by the crowd in an instant. The faces of his familiar colleagues showed bright smiles, slapped Hugo on the shoulders and arms in a mocking manner, and shouted, "Expression Not bad", "I'm scared to death by you", "You really are not at ease" and other words, the scene is very lively. Not winning is better than winning.
When David Letterman changed his clothes and returned to the waiting room, he saw such a scene. David pouted, sneered and sneered, then turned and walked towards the dressing table, ready to touch up his makeup.
Hugo stayed in the waiting room for a while, and then quietly returned to his place.
With the award of Best Supporting Actress, it means that the competition for the 67th Academy Awards has really kicked off, with the huge momentum of "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Pulp Fiction". The battle for the status of the film history is here!
In the competition in the technology sector that debuted first, "Pulp Fiction" was almost completely absent, so "Forrest Gump"'s main competitor was "The Shawshank Redemption", but there were many surprises in the award trend. The climax never came.
In the competition for the Best Photography Award, "The Shawshank Redemption" and "Forrest Gump" both lost, losing to "The Burning Years". This is a big upset, but in general, "The Years of Love" is well-deserved. This work received a lot of attention before the awards ceremony. Under the pattern of classic gatherings in 1994 , after all, it is still a notch worse, but the splendor of the photographic picture is still affirmed.
The best art direction award was won by the British classical court drama "Crazy King George", which was another accident. "Bullets Over Broadway", "Forrest Gump", "Interview with the Vampire", "The Burning Years" In this award, they are all strong, and the final victory can be said to be a bloody road.
The Best Costume Design Award, where the five best picture nominees have missed out, can be said to be a competition between "Desert Enchantress" and "Queen Margot". In the end, the Australian enchantress defeated the French queen.
The two awards of best sound and best sound were both won by "Speed of Life and Death". This work, which was born in the summer as a dark horse, almost copied the miracle of last year's "Jurassic Park" and defeated "Jurassic Park". Excellent works such as "Pursuit", "Forrest Gump", "The Shawshank Redemption", "The Burning Years", etc., won strongly!
As for the high-profile "Forrest Gump" and "The Shawshank Redemption", they disappeared like bubbles. After the Best Makeup Award was won by "Ed Wood", all the awards in the technical department were They all found their own winners. The former only defeated "Grange in Disguise" and "True Lies" in the Best Visual Effects Award, and won the only technical trophy, while the latter was completely wiped out.
In the nomination stage, the mighty "Forrest Gump" only won a not so convincing Best Visual Effects Award, and "The Shawshank Redemption" lost all of them, which was an accident; and The seven awards in the technical department actually belong to six works respectively. Such a chaotic pattern is the second accident; "Speed of Life and Death" is proud of the crowd with two technical trophies. This is definitely an accident within an accident.
Tonight's Oscars really won't be boring. One after another, the unexpected results of the awards have sparked heated discussions among people. Unpopularity is always exciting, but too much unpopularity can make people confused, especially the three-legged confrontation that people expected did not exert its power, which undoubtedly reduced the level of excitement, and many people recalled it. At last year's Oscars, the highly anticipated "Farewell to Eternal Love" ended in a flimsy defeat and achieved nothing. Everyone witnessed the sweep of "Schindler's List", which made the awards ceremony much inferior.
But with the imminent announcement of Best Supporting Actor for one of the major awards, will that revive the deadly ceremony?
"Pulp Fiction"'s Samuel L. Jackson and "Forrest Gump"'s Gary. Sinise will kick off the first of these two most-watched works; "Bullets Over Broadway" Chazz. Palminteri and Paul. Scofield of "The Lie" are strong and absolute spoilers; Martin Landau of "Ed Wood" .Landau) is a veteran actor, and the strength of his third Oscar nomination cannot be ignored.
Although the Best Supporting Actor department seems to be more interesting than the Best Supporting Actress department, it still cannot be considered too suspenseful. The contestants in this department either have strong performances or weak performances. All five competitors have a chance, but in fact, the overall average strength is also weak, which is inferior to last year. This is true both in terms of topicality and the level of competition.
The winning results continued the list of the Golden Globe Awards. Martin Landau won the first prize. This is not an accident, but it is an accident. The first round of "Pulp Fiction" and "Forrest Gump" is also like the other two in the technical department. The frontal confrontation of the works is general, and there is no victory or defeat.
This really makes the awards ceremony weird: "Forrest Gump," which has received thirteen nominations, has only one statuette so far; Bullets in the Sky", and only one Best Supporting Actress award was awarded to them together.
Does this count as unpopular and exciting, or is it disappointing and boring?
After "The Lion King" won the Best Original Song Award and the Best Soundtrack Award without any suspense, the awards ceremony became interesting. "The Lion King" is currently the most popular and the most popular among the winning works. The movie is out-although "Life and Death" is also very popular, the award-winning departments are the technical departments with less attention, which makes the restless, disappointed and bored audience in front of the TV excited again.
On the one hand, people are looking forward to the unpopular appearance; but on the other hand, people are looking forward to the box office hits to win; the most important thing is that the three-legged competition can best stimulate the adrenaline. With this ambivalent and mixed feeling swirling over the awards ceremony, it's hard to say whether the process so far has been satisfactory or unsatisfactory.
The ensuing Best Editing Award has prompted people to subconsciously question: Could it be an unpopular one this time? So, should they expect it or resist it?
Except for the documentary "Hoop. Dreams", which is not well-known, the other four contenders for the Best Editing Award are all strong, not only the Iron Triangle of the Oscars this year, but also the popular work "Life and Death".
It is worth mentioning that "Life and Death", as a commercial film, was nominated and recognized for the Best Editing Award known as "Small Best Picture". In the case of outstanding commercial films such as "Browsing Eyes" and "Monster in Disguise", it is even more worthy of recognition.
It is generally believed that the Best Editing Award is the greatest affirmation of the overall strength of a work in addition to the best film, because it reflects the entire work's grasp of the rhythm, atmosphere, pattern and structure, which is different from the director. Or actors or technical departments, which test the full cooperation of all aspects of the film production process.
Therefore, although there are occasional cases where the best editing award winner is not the best picture, for example, the 64th is "Assassination of Kennedy" instead of "Silence of the Lambs", for example, the 62nd is "Born in "July 4th" instead of "Driving for Miss Daisy", and so on; but most of the time, the best editing award and the best picture are awarded in a "bundle", which is also the best affirmation of a work .
This year's Best Editing Award is undoubtedly extremely competitive, "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction" and "The Shawshank Redemption" are already on a par, but at the same time they also have to face "Life and Death" and "The Shawshank Redemption" "Basketball Dream" may be an upset -- and the chances of the former are not small.
Steve - Martin (Steve. Martin) announced the winners in a tense atmosphere, and set off the most exciting first climax of tonight's awards ceremony. "Best Editing Winner, 'Pulp Fiction,' Sally. Menke."
The Best Editing Award, dubbed "Small Best Picture", went to "Pulp Fiction"! Sally Monk was the editor of the film.
There was an uproar at the scene, the clear exclamation accompanied by applause and screams. This is definitely another historic breakthrough: not only "Pulp Fiction" as an independent film made history; it also made history as "Pulp Fiction" as a dark comedy film.
On the Oscar stage, dramas like dramas, historical movies, and biographies are preferred by the academics compared to the more slanted themes like "Pulp Fiction", which also makes something similar to Charlie Chaplin. , Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and other film masters have all been missed with the Oscar statuettes all their lives.
And today, "Pulp Fiction", a darkly humorous, self-deprecating, grotesquely witty personality work, actually won the Best Editing Award at the always conservative Oscars, which is also a step forward after the film's incredible success at the box office. The second step opened, once again created a miracle recorded in the history books!
The powerful duel that people have been looking forward to seeing, the tripartite confrontation that people have been looking forward to seeing, and the sparks that people have been eager to see, it was not until the award ceremony was nearly halfway through that it was long overdue. However, this belated and strong collision has hit an amazing spark. With the attitude of "Pulp Fiction" overturning "Forrest Gump", he proudly sang the most exciting play tonight.
Great show, here we go!
