Chapter 218 There must be a shady scene
"This is the report sent back by ABC TV from the Los Angeles Music Center. The 68th Academy Awards ceremony is about to kick off. Who will be the biggest winner tonight?"
As soon as the TV questioned, Kunitz on the sofa waved his arm hard, "Of course it's Duke Rosenberg and "Save Private Ryan"!"
"Can you be quiet?" His girlfriend Haley was a little dissatisfied. ↑
Knowing that his girlfriend was not a Duke-style movie lover, Kunitz simply shut his mouth and the TV screen had switched to the studio.
"Is "Save Private Ryan" a great victory? Or does "Brave Heart" make a counterattack? Or is "Reason and Emotion" upset? Let's ask the famous film critic Roger Albert to analyze it for us."
This is a preview program before every Oscars, and it has become a common practice for Roger Albert to attend this program in recent years.
"...I think "Save Private Ryan" will win the best film, and Duke Rosenberg will miss the best director, Little Golden Man. He is still young and still has room for improvement in the future..."
Listening to Roger Albert's words on TV, Kunitz frowned. His view of this short and fat man was extremely bad. Since the nomination list came out, he has been constantly publishing articles in the column that touted the theme and value orientation of "Save Private Ryan", but also belittled the director's technique. In short, he believes that Duke Rosenberg is not worthy of the best director Xiao Jinren.
"These bastards critics!" He cursed softly.
"Don't underestimate them." Hailey is engaged in media work related to movies. The two people came together because they like movies. "There are rumors in the media industry, such as Roger Albert, David Denby and Gene Siskel. It is said that they have been discouraging the judges of the academy not to vote for the director you like. With them, Duke Rosenberg's chance of winning the award will be lowered by at least thirty percentage points."
Although he doesn't like film critics and does not choose a movie based on the reviews of professional film critics, Coonitz still recognizes his girlfriend's words.
"The critics have been making small moves. Duke, you have to be mentally prepared."
Hearing Charles Rowan's words, Duke raised his right hand and pointed to his chest. "It's ready long ago."
"We're going to steal your chance to take the stage!"
Robin Grande, who was standing on the other side, laughed, "Don't forget, only two producers of the best film can come on stage to receive the award."
"Are you ready to thank me?" Duke joked deliberately.
This era is not the future. Many regulations of the college are relatively rigid, such as the Best Picture Award. In the past ten years, the entire crew often came to the stage to receive the awards, and now only two producers can come to the stage.
Having a few jokes with Charles Rowan and Robin Grande, Duke walked to the seat with Zeta Jones in his arms.
"Mom..." He broke free from Zeta Jones' arm and walked over and hugged his mother who was standing up, "I'm glad you can come."
"I always have to witness your most important moment."
Mrs. Leah smiled faintly, looked to Duke in a blink of an eye, and said with interest, "Don't you introduce it?"
"Mom, this is Miss Katherine Zeta Jones, the heroine of my new film." Duke briefly introduced, "Kate. This is my mother."
"Hello, Mrs. Rosenberg."
The smile on Zeta Jones's face was extremely enthusiastic. Mrs. Leah nodded to her, "Hello."
After Duke and the other two sat down, the theater was already much quieter. After waiting for a few minutes, as the voice of the broadcaster rang, Whoopi Gordonburg walked onto the stage. After a few words of her opening line, the joke went straight to the bottom three.
The Oscars are one of the highest ratings in North America, and they are basically ranked in the top five or even the top three, especially when popular movies become candidates for the Oscars, they will attract more viewers.
“Who belongs to the first award?”
Sitting in front of the computer, Allen watched TV and typing on the keyboard. Since Microsoft's latest window system was launched last year, he discovered a good way to communicate and share information and movies - the computer network, and quickly found a film and television program forum. What surprised him the most was that there was an exclusive sharing and chat section called "Explosion Maniac". Most of them were young people like him who like Duke-style movies.
"No matter who it is, we will definitely not have our share."
After refreshing the page, he had followed several replies below. A user named Duke of Destruction left a message, "I have a list of programs here, the first award was best costume design, and "Save Private Ryan" was not nominated."
"Is there a Brave Heart?" The person who asked this question was a guy named Rose Mountain.
"They can't win the award, right?" Allen quickly typed a line of letters, "Don't forget the scandal of Mel Gibson."
"It's over! The first award was stolen by the most annoying crew."
Ryan saved the soldier’s message and said, “The Brave Heart actually took away the best costume design!”
"Can a few men's skirts without underwear win awards?" The Duke of Destruction obviously had objections to this result, "Are you mistaken? Oscars have shady spots! There must be shady spots!"
"Will the scandal not affect "Brave Heart"?"
Looking at the TV screen, Allen typing on the keyboard with some concern, "Instead, he promoted this movie? Anyway, I think "Brave Heart" has become more famous after the scandal of Mel Gibson."
"It's possible..."
In Chandler's hall, the crew of "Brave Heart" was cheering and celebrating, which made Duke look there. The crew seemed to be released because of Mel Gibson's tremendous pressure. After all, they won the Oscars for a good start.
Just a glance, Duke discovered that Mel Gibson was also sitting on the crew there, and he hadn't appeared in public for a long time.
“Given the award?”
Although it was not him who won the Little Golden Man, it ignited the hope in Mel Gibson's heart. Perhaps Oscar did not abandon "Brave Heart"? Perhaps the scandal was not so terrible? There are people who were plagued by Hollywood scandals and could win the best director!
He turned around and looked at the crew of "Save Private Ryan". If he could win the best director and turn it over, he wouldn't have to run to that bastard and bow his head to admit his mistake!
No matter how desperate a person is, he will have a trace of luck in his heart. Mel Gibson is no exception.
"Mom, this is just my own opinion. The college is showing an attitude to the outside world, and it is just a consolation prize."
When my mother asked, Duke leaned over and whispered, "I think the college is delivering such content to the outside world - we are fair. We gave the first award to "Brave Heart" and we were not affected by the Mel Gibson incident at all."
Whether this speculation is in line with the facts, just look at the ownership of the next few awards and you will basically be clear at a glance.
After Kevin Spacey won the Best Supporting Actor for "Extreme Suspect", Alicia Sylvestone stood on the stage and prepared to award the Best Makeup Award. Both "Brave Heart" and "Save Private Ryan" received this nomination.
Mel Gibson stared at the stage. One award may be accidental, and two awards will explain a lot of problems!
The fire of hope burned in Gibson's chest.
Alicia Sylvestone's voice immediately extinguished the flame, "The winner is Talia Charle, "Save the Soldier"!"
“year!”
A few cheers rang around him, and Duke clapped his palms hard, Zeta Jones stood up and said, "This is our first prize!"
“There will be more next.”
Duke also stood up and hugged the female makeup artist who worked three times in a row and was about to cooperate for the fourth time, "Congratulations, Talia."
"Thank you! Thank you!"
This is the first time I have won the Oscar Little Golden Man, Talia Charles seems very excited.
After looking at the crew member of "Save Soldier Ryan" standing up there, Mel Gibson's eyes flashed a little unwillingness. Could it be that the Academy is just giving "Brave Heart" some comfort?
Despair surged in his heart, but after despair, there were more luck.
"There is still a chance in "Brave Heart"! I also have a chance!" Gibson murmured to himself.
“yes!”
In front of the TV, Allen waved his arm vigorously, and the favorite movie defeated his annoying opponent and won the grand prize. Of course, he was very happy. He quickly tapped on the keyboard with both hands, "We got the first little golden man! We will get more Mr. Oscars in the future!"
"I just said that the Oscar is the fairest movie award!"
Seeing the message that Duke of Destruction followed behind, Alan's forehead was covered with black lines. It seemed that he was the one who said that Oscar had a shady story just now?
"Come on. "Save Soldier Ryan"! Come on, Duke Rosenberg!"
The words of Rose Mountain were matched by everyone, and many words appeared in the chat room to cheer up "Save Private Ryan".
The performance of "Save Private Ryan" did not disappoint these supporters. They won all the best soundtracks, best sound effects, best art direction and best sound effects editing that are directly competitive with "Brave Heart", and won four technical awards in a row!
Only an hour after the 68th Academy Awards ceremony began, "Save Private Ryan" has won five small gold men. Any awards that have won 100% won, with an absolute advantage of 5 to 1, temporarily leading all competitors, including "Brave Heart".
The tall and thin Liam Neeson walked onto the stage. He looked at the envelope containing the list of winners of the best original script and said, "The script is the basis of a movie. Every successful script embodies the hard work of the playwright. Last year I saw many excellent movies, and they all have the same characteristics, that is, they all have an equally excellent script."
"Woody Allen's "Non-Strong Spring. Medicine" has a typical Allen-style chattering style, Randall Wallace's "Brave Heart" is filled with the flavor of freedom, Duke Rosenberg's "Save the Soldier" is full of strong humanistic care..."
