Chapter 188 183 Breaking the Historical Record, Eric's First Big
Chapter 184 Breaking the historical record, Eric's first big award!
"Welcome to the 55th Primetime Emmy Awards, I am the host Ellen DeGeneres.
"I am the host Conan O'Brien."
"I am the host Martin Short."
"I am the host Gary Sandlin."
After a song and dance, several hosts appeared on the stage and spoke opening words and witty remarks, which were a bit similar to the Chinese group crosstalk.
"Eric, how many awards can we get?" Bar Refaeli asked quietly.
Eric shook his head slightly: "I don't know, I hope the Academy will give me more, otherwise I will be too lazy to participate in the future."
"Everyone says that the drama category is a competition between "Six Feet Under" and "The West Wing". The former has 19 nominations and the latter has 17 nominations. We only have 11 nominations."
"11 is not a small number. "The Walking Dead" is only in its first season, "Six Feet Under" is already in its third season, and "The West Wing" is also in its fifth season. They already have an advantage. "Frank Darabont explained.
"Director, are you sure you can win an award?"
"What award? Best Director?"
"Yeah."
The bald man frowned: "I don't think there is much hope. The theme of "The Walking Dead" is more attractive to young people. With the character of the judges in the Academy, it's good to be nominated."
"This is because our drama has a great influence. It is indeed the most phenomenal drama this year, but it may be difficult to win an award."
Daniel Wu nodded in agreement: "Those judges must be thinking that "The Walking Dead" is only the first season. Anyway, there will be a second, third and even tenth season in the future. It's not too late to give it to others at that time. Let's give it to others first."
"Boss, I think you can look forward to the best screenwriter in drama. The Academy also needs to pay attention to balance and it is impossible to give us nothing."
Frank Darabont said: "It is acceptable to win the best screenwriter. It is also the first-tier award besides the best drama. ”
The first tier that Darabont mentioned is the general rule for all award ceremonies.
Actresses are divided into noble and humble, and so are awards.
First of all, whether it is a movie or a TV series, the most important award is the Best Picture, which is undisputed.
Best Actor and Best Actress are equally important and belong to the first tier of awards.
Then there is the difference between Best Director and Best Screenwriter.
If it is an Oscar, Best Director is undoubtedly more important than Best Screenwriter, because movies are the art of directors.
The Emmy Awards are just the opposite. Best Screenwriter is much more important than Best Director, because TV series are dominated by screenwriters.
But regardless of the difference between the two, these five awards belong to the first tier of awards.
Then there are Best Supporting Actor and Actress, Best Editing, Best Photography, etc., and then there are technical awards such as Best Makeup, Best Costumes, Best Props, and Best Dubbing.
Although "The Walking Dead" was not nominated for Best Series, it was nominated for Best Director and Best Screenwriter. It depends on the Academy's choice.
"If it is the Saturn Awards, we will sweep everything! ” Andrew Lincoln said.
On the stage, the first award was presented, the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, which was won by Doris Roberts of Everybody Loves Raymond.
Then the Best Sound Mixing for a Single-Camera Work was won by ER.
Then the Best Costume for a Variety or Music Program was won by Cher: The Final Round.
The first few awards had nothing to do with The Walking Dead until the fourth technical award was presented.
The presenter was Hugh Jackman, and the combination of popular actors and less popular awards is an old tradition to increase ratings.
“The nominees for the Best Special Effects Makeup Award are The Walking Dead, The Normandy Airborne, Alias, CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and The Laramie Project.”
“Let me see who won, um”
Wolverine stopped talking halfway, looked at the audience and laughed, and when he laughed, others laughed too.
After whetting everyone’s appetite, Hugh Jackman announced loudly: “Congratulations to the Zombie Army for winning! "
Hua La Pa Pa
Warm applause broke out from the audience, and the other four crews were also very impressed. Although they all involved makeup special effects, the difficulty was obviously not of the same order of magnitude.
Zombies require both hideous faces and three-dimensional facial features, as well as incomplete limbs. Each extra has to put on makeup for several hours, and the makeup team is the largest in the Walking Dead crew.
Eric patted the makeup artist representative Jack Garber on the shoulder: "Go, take the trophy that belongs to you."
The man walked onto the stage excitedly and took the trophy from Wolf Uncle.
"Thank you to the Academy and the judges for giving us this award. This is a reward for us behind the scenes. I am so happy to receive the award."
"I also want to thank Director Darabont and every actor in the crew. They are all very good and cooperate with our work."
"Then I also want to thank the screenwriter and producer Mr. Eric Cooper. He provided an excellent story and was willing to invest a lot of money, so we have room to play. Thank you very much! ”
After delivering his speech, Jack Garber returned to his seat happily and kissed the trophy vigorously. Everyone congratulated him one after another.
The award ceremony continued. After several reality show awards were presented, it was the turn of the evening's first grand prize, the Best Actress in a Comedy Category.
The award presenter was Robin Williams. There is no need to say much about Robin's works. Eric likes his actors very much. He is good at both comedy and drama.
It's a pity that fate has played tricks on people. Fate has not been kind to this person who brings happiness to everyone.
He suffered from one of the most terrifying diseases in the world - Lewy body dementia.
This disease not only makes people lose control of their limbs, but also reduces spatial perception, amnesia, sleep disorders, neurological disorders, loss of consciousness, depression, hallucinations and other effects.
The most terrifying thing is that the patient can feel that his brain is collapsing little by little, but there is nothing he can do. That is the most desperate mood.
Finally, he chose to hang himself when he still had some consciousness and died with the disease.
The later autopsy report showed that Robin Williams' intelligence before his death had degenerated to about three years old, which is a pity.
"The nominees are all sexy and humorous women, including Patricia Heaton from Everybody Loves Raymond, Jennifer Aniston from Friends, Jane Kaczmarek from Malcolm in the Middle, Sarah Jessica Parker from Sex and the City, and Debra Messing from Will & Grace."
"The winner is Debra Messing from Will & Grace."
Everyone applauded, but Eric didn't. He naturally hoped that Friends would win.
But after seeing Rachel's happy smile on the big screen, he thought that winning the movie actress award would also dilute the disappointment of not winning the award.
Then, the best animation was won by The Simpsons without any controversy.
Seeing The Simpsons win the award, Eric felt that he should also develop MGM's animation business and not always stick to movies and TV series.
Before crossing, he liked watching Rick and Morty and Peppa Pig very much. The script of the former was very creative, and he, an adult, actually enjoyed watching the latter.
In Eric's opinion, "Peppa Pig" is one of the few all-age animations after "Tom and Jerry".
It is easy to produce and has high commercial profits. It is a very high-quality project and can be put on the agenda.
After several awards, the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Award came, and Norman Reedus was nominated.
The award presenter Lucy Liu opened the envelope and read: "The nominees for the Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series are Joe Pantoliano from "The Sopranos", Jeremy Sisto from "Six Feet Under", Carlos Bernard from "24", Kenny Johnson from "The Shield", and Norman Reedus from "The Walking Dead."
"The winner is Norman Reedus from "The Walking Dead", let us congratulate him."
Hearing that he won the award, Norman Reedus stood up excitedly, hugged everyone and walked onto the podium.
"Thank you, thank you very much for giving me the award. I have been in the industry for seven years, and this is the first trophy I have won. Tonight will be an important moment in my acting career, and I will remember it forever."
"Thank you to everyone in the crew, they are all excellent partners, and Mr. Cooper, I heard that I could get this role because he specially approved it, thank you very much!"
The camera immediately gave Eric, and his angular and handsome face was immediately reflected on the big screen.
Many actresses sighed in their hearts that he was so handsome, rich, powerful, young and handsome, and he was a perfect partner. I don't know which little bitch will get it.
Duel happily returned to his seat, picked up the glass and drank it in one gulp: "This is a wonderful night, thank you Mr. Cooper, you created a charming role, so I can get the trophy."
Everyone whispered, only Barle Farley was not very natural, because she was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
However, following the principle of balance, her chances of winning the award were reduced a lot.
More than ten minutes later, the reality really confirmed her hunch, and the Best Supporting Actress was won by "The Sopranos".
On the big screen, Barle Faley could only put on a fake smile that she had practiced many times in private, and clapped to show her recognition and open-mindedness.
When the camera cut away, she lowered her head and secretly revealed the shape of "fuck".
Not angry? How could she not be angry?
This is my first award, and it's gone just like that.
I can only pick up snacks and wine glasses to eat and make up for my broken heart.
Then "The Walking Dead" won the Best Visual Effects Award and the Best Sound Effects Award, but unfortunately it also lost the Best Editing in a Drama Series, Best Casting in a Drama Series, and Best Multi-Camera Photography Awards.
Eric was also disappointed that "Friends" lost the Best Actor in a Comedy Series, and Matthew Perry, who played Chandler, missed the award.
In the end, "Friends" only won the Best Guest Actress in a Comedy Series, which was won by Christina Applegate, who played Rachel's sister Amy.
Others round off the zero when they eat, but you rounded off the front, leaving only a zero!
So far, The Walking Dead has only two nominations left, Best Screenplay and Best Director for a Drama Series.
Under the watchful eyes of the audience, Nicole, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress this year, came out from the backstage, wearing a floral cheongsam and a heart-shaped necklace, looking very beautiful.
Eric was a little surprised to see her appear. She didn't tell him that she would attend the party, which was strange.
Walking to the center of the stage, Nicole smiled and looked around, winking at Eric mischievously.
"The screenwriter is the soul of a TV series. They create excellent stories and create vivid and unique characters."
"I have always believed that screenwriters are the cornerstone of our industry. Without the efforts of screenwriters, there would be no current prosperity in Hollywood."
“The nominees tonight are all dream-makers that I admire, and some have been nominated multiple times.”
Pictures of "The West Wing" screenwriter Aaron Sorkin and "Six Feet Under" screenwriter Alan Ball suddenly appeared on the big screen.
“There are also people who are nominated for the first time.”
What appeared on the big screen this time was a photo of "24" screenwriter Joel Suno.
“Some people are late bloomers and develop their talents in middle age.”
Displayed on the big screen is "CSI Crime Scene Investigation" screenwriter Chuck Lorre.
"There are also people who are young and full of energy."
After Nicole finished speaking, Eric appeared on the big screen. The academy chose him to look like he was writing at his desk, but he actually staged the photo himself.
This posture is matched with the light of a yellow desk lamp, and there are many manuscripts scattered on the ground. The composition is exquisite and charming.
It gives the impression that this young man is not only handsome, but also serious and talented.
"Oh My!"
Nicole opened the envelope and subconsciously exclaimed.
The people sitting below are all human beings, which can surprise the movie queen. They definitely saw extraordinary results.
So who among the five won the most impactful award?
Many people immediately thought of something, and many eyes were fixed on Eric.
Nicole took a deep breath, as if she had won an award: "The winner for best screenwriter in the drama category is Eric Cooper of "The Walking Dead"!"
OH
In an instant, the whole audience exclaimed, and people like Uncle Wolf and Pete who had some friendship with him applauded and shouted.
There were also many people who were simply shocked. As the camera swept over, many people had expressions of disbelief on their faces, as if they had seen the most incredible thing happen.
The reason why many people are shocked is because Eric is only 23 years old this year, just 23 years old.
What does this age represent?
The major influential awards in the world film industry today include global and regional awards.
Including Oscars, Golden Globes, Emmys, three European awards, Tokyo, Golden Horse, Golden Statue, etc. to name a few.
The youngest screenwriter currently nominated is John Singleton. He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for "Boys on the Block". He was 24 years old this year.
Excluding the pheasant award, 24 years old is already the limit since records began.
And Eric moved his age forward by one year, and he won the award instead of being nominated, so the difficulty went up several dimensions.
At this moment, everyone ignored the boss's pressure and arrogance, and excitedly hugged Eric in the middle, almost throwing him into the sky.
It could be seen clearly on the big screen, and even Eric himself stared, visibly surprised.
"Okay guys, let Eric go on stage to accept the award. Nicole is waiting."
Darabont pushed aside the crowd to make way for Eric.
He calmed down, looked at the beautiful woman with a beautiful smile on the stage, and the golden trophy in her hand, and strode forward.
"Well"
As soon as I stood up, before my back feet even touched the ground, a fragrant breeze rushed into my arms.
Immediately, in front of thousands of celebrities and more than 20 million viewers in front of the TV, the two kissed each other.
