Eight Hundred and Ninety-Three Ceremony Unveiling

Red velvet, golden arcades, black stage, navy blue trim, and cream halo. Entering the interior of the Kodak Theater, the magnificent, luxurious and retro scene comes into view. With the progress of the footsteps, time goes back little by little, as if returning to the golden 1960s of Hollywood, or the more distant 30s. The 1920s and 1920s reawakened the beauty and moving of the film at the beginning of its birth.

The theme of the 84th Oscars is nostalgia.

Among the nine best film nominations, "Midnight in Paris" returned to the golden age of art in Paris in the 1920s by way of midnight travel, "Hugo" recreated the magic and beauty of the beginning of the film, and "Artist" even more. It tells a Hollywood fairy tale in the form of a black and white silent film when the age of talkies is coming.

The three works took the lead in the nomination stage, and joined forces with the "Descendants" to form the first group of the awards season, and gradually stood out as the favorites, which undoubtedly clearly demonstrated the value orientation of this year's academy.

Everyone says academies are the most narcissistic, they love themselves deeply, they deeply reminisce about the golden age of Hollywood, they are deeply immersed in the glory days of movies, they are immersed in self-pity, self-love, self-encouragement. Emotionally, unable to extricate themselves.

In the history of the Oscars, "Sunset Boulevard", "Behind the Scenes Lies", "Adapted Screenplay", "Living Like a Dream", "Comet Beauty" and other works that tell Hollywood's own stories have always won special favor; to some extent It is said that the academy prefers directors who act and direct, which is also in the same line.

In this year's stage arrangement, the academy has brought this fine tradition into full play. It seems that tonight's best picture should be a trio of "Midnight in Paris", "Hugo" and "The Artist" - speculation before the awards ceremony, further confirmed.

Amidst the hustle and bustle of greetings, Renly saw Ryan Gosling in the crowd. "Hey, man! Here, here!"

In the past year, Ryan, who contributed three masterpieces of "Crazy Stupid Love", "Presidential Killing Bureau" and "Desperate Driving", although he did not receive an Oscar nomination, he still attended the awards ceremony as a guest tonight. At this moment, he jumped up with a smile on his face, waved his right hand high, and with incomparable enthusiasm, opened his arms to welcome Renly.

Renly stepped forward, Ryan gave Renly a hug, "Just now, I was texting with Paul, guessing if you're not going tonight." It wasn't a simple greeting hug, but a heavy, tight hug. He hugged tightly, stayed for a while, and really felt the concerns and worries passed on by Ryan.

Renly laughed dumbly, "Paul? When did you start contacting?" He patted Ryan on the back, thanked him, and responded: He is fine now.

"After we met last time, we exchanged phone numbers. We were all worried that one day you would suddenly disappear.

Ryan didn't hide his worries. After letting go of his arms, he rolled his eyes and complained mercilessly, "Sure enough, you really disappeared." "

Renly chuckled, "Next time Paul and I go surfing, you can join us."

Looking back, Renly looked back and forth, worried that where he was standing would block the way of the other guests, but the next second, Ryan patted Renly on the shoulder, "Look what, your place is here. , beside me."

Following Ryan's line of sight, Renly saw a piece of white cardboard hanging on the back of the seat, with the words "Renly-Hall" written on it.

This is an area in the center of the stage, and the first three rows are the highly anticipated positions. At this point, Renly was placed close to the left aisle, with Ryan Gosling on the left and Jessica Chastain, Emma Stone and the entire "Help" crew on the right. Cass.

Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, Meryl Streep in front, Martin Scorsese, Asa-Butterfield and the entire "Hugo" behind crew.

Renly didn't sit down immediately and looked around, "Why didn't I see my crewmates?"

Tonight, the "Crazy" crew sent a total of three people to attend the ceremony, the other two are Derek - Doremus and Jennifer - Lawrence.

Since "Crazy in Love" only received one nomination for Best Actor, the number of invitations was limited. Only Renly and Drake got the chance to attend, while Jennifer was awarded by virtue of her activity in the past year. The invitation letter; as for Felicity Jones, regrettably absent from the event.

As he spoke, Renly saw Drake sitting in the right area of ​​the fourth row.

Drake looked extremely nervous, pulled his suit jacket nervously, and kept looking left and right. In the noisy venue, he looked like a lost child.

Renly and Ryan gestured, then took the initiative to walk over and say hello to Drake. The small gesture made Derek happy, and he complained in a low voice, "Everyone here looks tall, I don't feel comfortable with it." The complaining words made Renly laugh happily.

When they returned to their positions, the "Help" crew on the right had basically taken their seats.

Emma jumped up first, and did not hide her excitement at all; Ryan, who had been neglected, complained bitterly, "Emma, ​​I thought we were partners, not Renly." Everyone said I couldn't help laughing, and then there were pictures and greetings. The scene was so lively.

After busying themselves for a while, everyone sat down one after another, but the guests who came to greet Renly were still in an endless stream, and they were busy until the lights on the scene slowly dimmed, and the scene slowly settled down. After getting down, it gradually became quiet, but the surging agitation still lingered.

Jessica, who was sitting on the other side, adjusted her position, and Renly could feel her unease and nervousness. Although Jessica has been rolling around in Hollywood for seven or eight years, she only got the chance to attend the Oscars for the first time this year. The two works of "The Tree of Life" and "The Help" really put her in the spotlight. middle.

"Should we sigh that Hollywood events are all a virtue; or should we be surprised that even if they are the same, Oscar can still make our hearts burn?" Renly lowered his voice and joked.

Jessica turned her head, and saw Renly's eyes gleaming in the dimness, with a playful light. Involuntarily, Jessica chuckled and replied, "Who else can see through except Woody Allen?"

Even Alfred Hitchcock, Stanley Kubrick and Charlie Chaplin have not been able to get rid of the desire for the little golden man in their hearts.

Renly shrugged. "Like, me?"

Looking at Renly's serious expression, Jessica recalled: Last year, Renly missed the Oscars. But at this time, Renly clearly put on a arrogant and arrogant attitude, but instead brought out the meaning of sarcasm, which made Jessica burst into laughter.

Immediately, Jessica realized that her voice was a little too loud, and the surroundings had quieted down. She quickly covered her mouth with her hands, but the smile in her eyes was still surging.

Looking up, Jessica only saw a profile of Renly's face. He had turned his head to face the stage, waiting for the start of the awards ceremony. Jessica's calm and calm demeanor infected Jessica, and he still felt uneasy deep in his heart. Up and down, he felt uneasy, but calmed down a little. So, Jessica also turned her head to look at the stage and let out a long breath.

The awards ceremony has begun.

Tonight, the Academy revisited how awards ceremonies were unveiled in the 1920s and 1930s: with Morgan Freeman as announcer, introducing host Billy Crystal.

Billy Crystal, the comedian who is undoubtedly one of the most successful and popular hosts in Oscar history, is hosting the Oscars for the ninth time this year, the most appearances in the era of televised awards ceremonies. one.

After the disastrous hosting by James Frank and Anne Hathaway last year, the academy had no choice but to invite Billy out again; Billy declined again and again, hoping to give others more opportunities. But the academy had absolutely no choice. After many pleas, Billy reluctantly took over the hot potato.

The opening is still a typical Billy Crystal. In a short video, the popular works of the past year are mixed and edited, not only Oscar-nominated works such as "The Artist", "Hugo", "Descendants", but also "Harry Potter", "Mission Impossible 4" ", "Puss in Boots" and other commercial box office outstanding works.

The special thing is that Billy will make a cameo in one of these clips, such as the wife who became a vegetative in "Descendants", and performed a ward kiss with George Clooney with real guns; The ordinary people who looked at each other with Tom Cruise in Impossible 4" ridiculed all the works in a spoofed way.

The climax/climax of the clip comes from the appearance of Justin Bieber.

Billy made a cameo appearance as the hero played by Owen Wilson in "Midnight in Paris", where he met a carriage at midnight and returned to the golden age of Paris. But, this time, it was Justin Bieber sitting in the carriage, and the two of them also complained about themselves.

Billy: What are you doing here?

Justin: Contribute to the ratings for you from the age of eighteen to twenty-four.

Billy: ...is something wrong with Renly Hall? Is he absent again?

All the guests clapped and laughed together. The jokes and jokes went back and forth between the film and the award ceremony, reality and the script, which really caused the audience to burst into laughter. Even Renly couldn't help laughing.

Finally, when the film screening ended, Billy imitated the standing posture of the golden man, walked from the big screen to the real stage, the curtain fell, Billy really appeared in front of everyone, and the audience burst into applause.

Under everyone's attention, Billy walked all the way to the front of the stage and accepted the cheers from the audience, but his footsteps did not stop, but walked all the way down the stage; such an unexpected move made the cheers and applause on the scene even more turbulent, The mountains were like a tsunami, and then in the eyes of everyone, Billy's footsteps stopped——

Standing beside Ryan and Renly.
