Two Thousand Three Hundred and Thirty-Four Continued Warming

"Wow, am I the only one feeling the heat? I'm starting to miss my bathrobe." When Neil Patrick Harris took the stage again, he hinted that the Dolby Theater was going on with a light quip. Warming up the tension, even as a host, he is no exception.

"The next one is bound to be a high-profile Oscar moment, let's invite, Scarlett Johansson!"

Scarlett, who was wearing an emerald green close-fitting dress, took to the stage amid applause from the audience, "Fifty years ago, the Beatles frenzy swept the country, and the United States was mired in the quagmire of the Vietnam War, Martin Luther said. - Dr. King marched from Selma to Montgomery, while, on March 2 at the Rivoli Theater in New York, the question was first heard, 'What should we do with Maria'."

"An optimistic and kind nun trainee, standing on the top of a mountain, showing her beautiful voice to people, this film is of course 'The Sound of Music'. We have no choice but to fall in love with Maria. Twentieth Century Produced on Fox, directed 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 blockbuster at the time, but later, it gradually became a film history classic."

Scarlett Johansson officially introduced "The Sound of Music", which is one of the important parts of tonight's Oscars. After playing the classic clip of the movie, Scarlett invited tonight's special guest: Miss Gaga.

As a pop queen, Miss Gaga was born in dance music, but many people ignore her musical literacy and profound knowledge because of her exaggerated fashion style. In fact, her musical attainment is very good, and later released a jazz album; Combining traditional bel canto with modern interpretation, the soundtrack of the movie "The Sound of Music" was re-interpreted, which can definitely be said to amaze the audience.

At the end of the performance, Miss Gaga won a standing ovation from the audience. This is the second time tonight since the "Glory" live performance.

Then, Miss Gaga officially invited Julie Andrews to the stage, and the applause of the Dolby Theater reached a new height.

Edith, who was standing beside Renly, stared at the stage with tears in her eyes, unable to restrain her excitement and excitement, and clapped attentively and earnestly. Everyone has their own softness in their hearts, just like the nanny Denise- Like Edith, Stevens, once "The Sound of Music" and "Mary Poppins," has irreplaceable significance to her.

Seemingly aware of Renly's gaze, Edith turned her head, and then saw the gentle smile on Renly's face, and there was a slight glimmer of banter and ridicule in her eyes, just like Renly's usual style,

He seemed to be making fun of Edith's embarrassment, which made Edith chuckle.

Bathed in applause from the audience, Julie expressed her gratitude and expressed her simple thoughts, and then she was in charge of presenting the two trophies in the script department.

Slightly unexpectedly, the more competitive Best Original Screenplay Award was awarded first.

"Boyhood", "Birdman", "The Grand Budapest Hotel", "Fox Hunter", "Nightcrawler", this is the final list of nominees.

Compared with the adaptation of the script, the original department gathered three popular seeded players, as well as the strongest among the unseeded players "Fox Hunter", and even the script of "Nightcrawler" also won a lot during the awards season. The affirmation of the award has also made the competition more and more fierce, which can be called a bayonet.

Previously, above the Writers Guild of America Awards, the final work that reached the top 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 actor department, if the "Grand Budapest Hotel" wants to continue to maintain Competitiveness, then the best original screenplay cannot be lost; on the contrary, once it is missed, it will break the balance, and the negative impact brought by Scott Rudin will explode.

In other words, this is the second inflection point after the Best Editing Award, but I did not expect that the Academy chose to be the first to award the Best Original Screenplay Award. Could it be that the rumors within the Academy have changed the wind direction? So, is it a positive or negative change towards the "Grand Budapest Hotel"?

Julie Andrews opened the golden envelope in her hand, glanced down, and then pulled the envelope a little further to make sure she could read the font clearly, "The winner of the 87th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is ...'Birdman'." Then came a long list of screenwriters' names. Unlike other works, "Birdman" was co-written by four Mexican-American screenwriters. The super-long and super-long name really embarrassed Julie.

The first accident finally appeared, just as the awards ceremony entered the final sprint stage

For the "Grand Budapest Hotel", which was aiming to win the Best Original Screenplay Award, was kicked out, "Birdman" carried a powerful counter-attack in the second stage, overtook "The Grand Budapest Hotel" and defeated "Boyhood" in succession tonight. In addition to the second golden statuette, it firmly occupies the active position.

The most amazing thing is that "Birdman" didn't even win a Writers Guild of America nomination! This is definitely an accident, amazing and explosive!

The power of the academy's public relations in the second stage is gradually showing its prominence.

The applause of the audience was filled with a bit of ambiguous eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether it was schadenfreude or regret. For Scott Rudin, it was one thing; but for Wes Anderson and the "Grand Budapest Hotel" crew , that's another story:

Having won four gold medals in a row before, people once thought that this work was still a big hit tonight, and the impact of the hacking incident did not seem to have occurred; but when it came to the real critical moment, it was the "Grand Budapest Hotel" that was the first to lose the chain. It continued the decline since the second stage.

"The Grand Budapest Hotel" is generally considered to be the masterpiece of Wes Anderson. Wes, whose main style is small, fresh and multi-colored, is the first and probably the only time he can make a difference on the Oscar. , and the chances are very, very large; the result just dissipates.

In the eyes that looked at each other at the scene, Harvey Weinstein was the old god, not only did he not have the slightest nervousness and surprise, but also enjoyed it a little bit.

When Harvey made a decision, he knew that "The Imitation Game" had basically missed the best picture. The four leading works this year were all too special. Even "Selma Parade" was already out early, and everything was stable. "The Imitation Game" is also difficult to rely on the topic of homosexuality to win, including "The Theory of Everything" is still almost hot.

But Harvey doesn't care, because the most important thing is the best actor, and all other situations can stand aside, which is the top priority this year.

Therefore, at this moment, Harvey can completely relax as a bystander, watching the melee in front of him, not only without regrets but also a little gloating. The longer the suspense remains, the more interesting things will be.

After waiting for the acceptance speech, the mood of the guests on the spot was mobilized. Since the academy has moved up the position of the best original script, a slight upset has occurred; then, does this mean that the judges Feeling the wind, will the best adapted screenplay explode?

The list of nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay pales in comparison to the nominees for Best Original Screenplay.

"The Imitation Game", "The Theory of Everything", "Boom Drummer", "American Sniper", "Sex/Inherent Evil".

Throughout the awards season, the adapted script department has never been able to form a stable lineup. For example, among the top five nominated by the Writers Guild of America, there are even nominations such as "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Gone Lover" and "Into the Wild". , and then it was all brushed off when it reached the Oscars; similar changes appeared on the major outposts, and even the Oscar nominees could not be determined, which also added more suspense to the script adaptation department.

Overall, "The Imitation Game" and "Drummer" are the two most consistent works, with nominations for important outposts almost all included, the only doubt is, because Damien Chazelle once shot a short film of the same name from This, I promote, also makes the definition of whether or not the screenplay of "Breaking Drummer" is an original or an adaptation varies by association, which also makes its nominations move back and forth between the original and the adaptation.

Of course, when it finally came to the Oscars, "Boom Drummer" was still divided into the adaptation department.

It is precisely because of this that the performance of "The Imitation Game" in major outposts is more stable and better. Not only did it easily reach the top of the Writers Guild of America Award, but "Boom Drummer" was assigned to the original department and lost to "The Grand Budapest Hotel" , and on top of the Golden Globe Awards, which does not distinguish between adaptations and originals, it squeezed out "Booming Drummer" as the only adaptation among the top five nominated works.

Naturally, "The Imitation Game" was the number one favorite for best adapted screenplay.

If it is only theoretically that the "Imitation Game" also hopes to have an impact on the best film, then the best adapted screenplay is an award that must be won; and if "The Imitation Game" has no ambition for the best film, then Best Adapted Screenplay is also the only award they can compete for.

This is very important from any point of view.

Bob Weinstein was a little uneasy, after all, it was related to the efforts of Weinstein Pictures throughout the awards season; but when he turned his head, he saw that Harvey was indifferent to the choice, and Harvey was the real heroic demeanor. , Bob couldn't help sighing inwardly, he didn't know if he still cared about this award.

Just as Bob was distracted, Julie on stage had announced the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

"'The Pops', Damien Chazelle."

The second accident happened shortly after.

boom!

Boom!

All the guests were sensational, screams and cheers were everywhere, Damien, who was strong at the top of the nomination for the first time, could not even find anyone to invest in the production of "Boom Drummer", but now, he officially Crown the Golden Man's Crown!
