Chapter 1468 1468 The First Suspense
After all the guests were seated, the award ceremony officially kicked off. This year's ceremony started with the performance of the works nominated for the Best Costume Design Award, which made Hugo feel a little speechless, not only Hugo, but all the guests at the scene. 's expressions seem a little weird, because this year's nominated works are really... special.
"Restoration" is a gorgeous court costume with a unique flavor; while "Braveheart" is mostly civilian costumes during the war, there are also many court costumes that are worth seeing.
The background of the story of "Richard III" is adapted to the 1930s, which is very close to the modern feeling; "Sense and Sensibility" is more of the costumes of the early 19th century, although it has strong characteristics of the times, But most of them are rural civilian clothes, which are naturally not as gorgeous and cumbersome as the nobles.
The last seat belongs to "Twelve Monkeys", this... Isn't this a sci-fi movie that has nothing to do with costumes?
The costumes of these five works appeared on the same stage at the same time. The spectacular scene turned the fashion show into a silly and funny show, and the weird crossing effect made people wonder how to respond. So, it was just an opening, and everyone was messed up in a gust of wind. Almost everyone's face was half-smiling, half-angry, and their expressions were really elusive. If the director is willing to capture the expressions of the guests on the scene, it will be very interesting.
Charlize, who was sitting on Hugo's right hand, was still a little nervous. When she saw the model wearing a prisoner's costume following the palace skirt, she almost didn't laugh. She cast a glance at Hugo, He seemed to be saying, "Is this normal?" Hugo was dumbfounded and shook his head, expressing that he didn't understand what the director was thinking.
Today's seating arrangement is very interesting, not according to the crew, but according to the awards department. The four acting nominees sit together, Hugo's right is Charlize, and then there is Nicolas Cage; on the left is Meryl Streep, and then there is Anthony Hope Kings; and behind Hugo is Kevin Spacey.
The hilarious opening soon ended in embarrassment, and then Whoopi Goldberg appeared on the stage in a loose leopard-print floor-length dress, attracting a whistle on the scene. sound and laughter. Since last year's hosting by David Letterman could be called a disaster, Whoopi, who was well-received the year before, accepted the invitation again and appeared as the host.
The second time she appeared on this stage, Whoopi was obviously still a little nervous. She just walked on the stage and mixed garlic under her feet, but she was not panic at all, she stopped in place, raised her head and looked at the silence below. The guests, it seems that everyone was frightened by this little accident, she glanced at the first few rows of guests, and finally her eyes stopped on Hugo, "Oh, oh, oh, naughty, don't use that Your eyes look at me, although you have never been my type, but my heart still beats fast."
The director found the time to point the camera at Hugo, and then Hugo's stunned expression appeared on the big screen. In an instant, the whole scene clapped and laughed. Hugo also reacted at this time. Whoopi took advantage of this accident to make fun of him, which made him laugh lightly.
After Whoopi resolved the small crisis, she calmly walked to the center of the stage again, "Wow, it's the annual Oscar season again, which belongs to the actors' Christmas, but this Santa Claus may not be given to everyone. Gift." Whoopi opened the scene with a light-hearted joke, "But personally, I've always liked movie actors, no, I should say I have a lot of respect for them."
"Movie stars can play various types of roles, tall, short, fat, thin..." While speaking, Ubi also gestured, using her plump figure to outline the proportions of her body shape, so that There was light laughter at the scene, "Sometimes they dress up as politicians, sometimes they dress up as street beggars, and sometimes they dress up as street prostitutes. Women." When the last word came out, a small number of people at the scene heard soft voices, Because the word "prostitute." is not allowed to appear on the live broadcast of public television, but Whoopi didn't pay too much attention to it and quickly took it away, "I admire them, adore them, but sometimes feel dissatisfied with them , like some of them only work with their other half.”
After Whoopi finished speaking, he stopped, and his eyes looked vaguely in the direction of Brad Pitt, which immediately reminded people of the cooperation between Brad and Gwyneth in "The Seven Deadly Sins" , There was a chuckle of laughter immediately at the scene, Brad laughed heartlessly, and Gwyneth, who was sitting next to Brad, was obviously a little stiff.
Whoopi just paused for a moment, and then continued, "Sometimes I'm afraid of them, because they always play some terrible murderers or mental patients." Whoopi glanced slightly, and fell on Hugo, The people around laughed even more happily, and the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth was also outlined, and he shrugged helplessly, as if to express his kindness, which made people smile even more brilliantly.
"Sometimes I feel jealous of them because they can always have something to do with their dream lover." Whoopi's eyes turned half a circle, and finally fell on Emma Thompson, everyone in the audience took pictures Palm laughed.
When Emma was filming "Sense and Sensibility", she wrote a kiss scene with Hugh Grant as a screenwriter, out of selfishness. This scene is Lee. Ann finished filming, but the final version was cut out because the scene didn't need to exist. Emma also admitted that she wrote this scene just because she wanted to kiss Hugh.
Emma herself didn't mind, she even blew a kiss to Whoopi, which made the applause even more enthusiastic.
Although the opening fashion show was really terrible, it is undeniable that Ubi's skillful and witty words made the atmosphere of the scene rise immediately.
In less than seven minutes of opening, Whoopi made fun of almost the whole of Hollywood, and finally looked up and down Hugo with a deliberately squinting gaze, "Dear Hugo, you know that you always have me. heart." This made the audience burst into laughter again, and Hugo even showed a helpless and bright smile, "Then, let's reveal the final result of the chaos at the beginning, don't worry, this time we don't need to To see prisoners and nobles perform on the same stage."
This unobtrusive but innocuous ridicule made everyone applaud and sent Whoopi down. Immediately, the presenting guests appeared and announced the winner of the Best Costume Design Award. The first golden statuette of the 68th session, which also announced that the main part of the awards ceremony was officially staged!
Because this year's Oscars are ingenious, the best costume design award is mentioned as the first award to be awarded, so instead of following the routine, the supporting role department will be awarded at the opening, but several technical awards will be awarded in advance. The best art The Directing Award was also won by "Flimsy Temporary Asking", and in the competition for the Best Photography Award, "Braveheart" won out of the blue and won the first golden statuette tonight.
If the suspense of the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Art Direction Award is not great, then the competition for the Best Photography Award is undoubtedly very fierce. In this department, not only commercial blockbusters such as "Batman Forever" are shortlisted , and a delicate and profound art work such as "Sense and Sensibility" was shortlisted, and a work with a sharp style such as "Seven Deadly Sins" was also shortlisted, but the result was that "Braveheart" beat the crowd, which is really beyond everyone. unexpected.
No one will forget that in tonight's battle for best picture, "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" are in the lead, while "Sense and Sensibility" and "Baby Pig" are the pre-Oscars Absolutely popular. Now, apparently Braveheart has a head start.
The awards show tonight is obviously going to be a lot of fun.
Then, tonight's first major departmental award officially took the stage, and last year's Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor Martin Landau took to the stage to present the Best Supporting Actress award.
This year's Best Supporting Actress section is undoubtedly very interesting, because the overall strength is not outstanding, originally people were most optimistic about Kate Winslet relying on "reason and emotion" turned out, but Kate not only lost the Golden Globe Award , and the prospect of "reason and emotion" at the Oscars has also begun to be blocked, which makes the award trend confusing.
In the end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences once again showed its unique love for Woody Allen, a young man, after awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award to Woody's "Bullets Over Broadway" last year, this year The award was given to Woody's "Non-Strong. Spring. Medicine," which Mira Sorvino once again upset the Oscars after winning the Golden Globes.
This is undoubtedly a surprise to countless people, because Mila was criticized after the Golden Globe Awards. It is generally believed that her strength is not enough to be crowned with the award, especially Oscar always likes to reward young actresses, According to this rule, Mila, who is 29 years old this year, is definitely not as likely to win as Kate, who is only 20 years old. However, this is the Oscar. Mira, who was nominated for the first time, was a blockbuster and won her first golden statuette. In an unconventional way, the Academy lifted the veil of this year's Oscar.
The Best Supporting Actor Award that was awarded immediately made everyone start to wonder. If we look at the trend of the Best Supporting Actress Award, then the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is... Brad Pitt?
