  At 8 pm on the 24th, the 85th Academy Awards was held at the Dolby Theater in Hollywood. Link, Ivaca, and Catherine were all invited to attend the awards ceremony that night.

At the same time, he will continue to serve as presenters with Taylor to present the Best Original Song Award.

From this point of view, tonight's winner of the original song award will probably be Adele. The Academy hopes to see the three top music stars stand together and contribute some topics and ratings to the live broadcast that night.

The host of this year's Oscars is the famous director and comedian Seth MacFarlane.

The other party is the director and screenwriter of the hit movie "Teddy Bear". Last year, the movie cost US$50 million and grossed US$540 million at the global box office, making it one of the most profitable movies last year.

Seth MacFarlane also sang the pornographic song "We've Seen Your Boobs" live. In the song, he listed more than a dozen actresses and movies who have exposed their vaginas in movies.

Including Naomi Watts' "Mulholland Drive," Angelina Jolie's "Dress Up," Anne Hathaway's "Brokeback Mountain," and Halle Berry's "Dead Man's Dance." , Nicole Kidman's "Eyes Wide Shut," Kristen Stewart's "On the Road," Charlize Theron's "The Devil Wears Prada," Helen Hunt's "Intimate Therapy," Jessica Cha Stan's "Lawless", Jodie Foster's "Pear Blossom", etc.

Among them, Kate Winslet was named the most, ten times, and Nicole Kidman eight times.

The content of this song is relatively bold, and the actresses named also showed embarrassed expressions in front of the camera.

"Is this kind of song interesting?"

Taylor asked, moving the corners of his lips.

"It's quite interesting. I didn't know there were so many revealing scenes in those movies. I'll look for them when I have time."

Link said.

"rogue!"

Taylor snorted softly and bumped into Ivaca next to him, "He's so nasty, and you don't care about him?"

"It's quite interesting. I'll watch it with Link when I have time."

Ivaca raised the corners of her lips and smiled.

Taylor rolled her eyes. She finally understood why she lost to Ivaca. It was because Ivaca was too indulgent towards Link, and she always wanted to control Link. From this point of view, she found that she also had a strong desire to control. of.

"Aren't you afraid that he will become bad?"

"Don't be afraid. He has very strong self-control. No matter how bad he is, he can't get any worse."

Ivaca said with a smile.

Taylor wrinkled the bridge of her nose, reached out and pinched Link quietly from behind, but before she could take back her hand, her hand was firmly grasped by Link and he couldn't pull away.

Bang bang bang!

Seth MacFarlane and the Los Angeles Gay Men's Chorus ended their chorus, and there was a burst of lively applause.

The opening performance ends and the awards ceremony begins.

The first award was the Best Supporting Actor Award, which was won without any suspense by the supporting actor in the movie "Django Unchained" Christoph Waltz.

The other actor is also the nominated actor with the highest votes for this award on the Rotten Tomatoes movie website.

Next, technical awards will be presented.

These include Best Cinematography, Visual Effects, Costume Design, Makeup and Hairstyling, Best Sound Effects and Sound Editing, Best Documentary Long/Short Film and Foreign Language Film, Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay, as well as Original Score and Best Original songs, etc.

Among these awards, Lionsgate's films only won three. "Escape from Tehran" won best editing and best adapted screenplay, and "The Hunt for Bin Laden" won best sound editing.

In the Best Supporting Actress Award, Anne Hathaway defeated Amy Adams, Helen Hunt and others to win this award for her good performance in "Les Misérables".

This is also the first time Anna Hathaway has won this award, and she was very excited on the podium.

In the Best Actor Award, Daniel Day-Lewis defeated his opponents Hugh Jackman, Joaquin Phoenix, Denzel Washington, and John Hawke with his "obsessive" acting skills in "Lincoln" Si, got the award.

This is also the third time that he has won the Oscar for Best Actor after "My Left Foot" in 1990 and "There Will Be Blood" in 2008, and the only one in Oscar history.

The Best Actress Award was won by Jessica Chastain, the lead actress in "The Hunt for Bin Laden".

In this award, her opponents include Emmanuelle Riva in "Love", Quvenzhané Wallis in "Beasts of the Southern Wild", Naomi Watts in "Tsunami", and Helen "Hitchcock" Miller.

On the Rotten Tomatoes website, French veteran Emmanuelle Riva received an approval rating of 38.27%, followed by Jessica Chastain in second place, with an approval rating of 33.82%.

But thanks to the strong public relations efforts of Lionsgate Pictures, Jessica still received this award.

When the last Best Actor Jean Dujardin read Jessica's name, many people in the audience turned to look at Link with complicated expressions.

"Damn, what did the Oscar judges do? Why did they vote for Jessica Chastain when they knew Link was using this award to pick up girls?"

In the "Django Unchained" crew area, Harvey Weinstein lowered his voice and cursed hatefully.

Although the Weinstein Films film was not nominated for this award, in order to disgust Link and prevent him from succeeding, during the second round of voting, he arranged for the media to hype up the news that Jessica Chastain was unfilial.

Because most of the Oscar Academy judges are "old white men", and Jessica's biological father is also an old white man. Hyping this kind of thing can arouse the "empathy" of the judges and make them hate Jessica.

Unexpectedly, this award was still won by Jessica Chastain.

"Jessica clarified that her biological father abandoned the family when she was seven or eight years old, leading to the early death of her sister. He was a very irresponsible man. She had a good relationship with her stepfather."

Bob said next to him.

Harvey snorted. Of course he knew this kind of thing, but he was still unhappy that Jessica got this award.

In the past, he was called by the media as an "Oscar winner and best actress", but now he has won two consecutive Best Actress Awards by the public relations department of Lionsgate Pictures.

Maybe from tomorrow, the media will start calling Link an ‘Oscar-winning machine’.

At that time, all the actresses in Hollywood will rush to lick Link and regard him as a "hot cake", while no one will care about him. Every time he thought about it, he became very angry.

Harvey stared hard at the back of Link's head from the side and back, wishing he could kill him with a shot.

In the audience, Jessica Chastain showed an expression of disbelief when her name was read out. She hugged director Kathryn Bigelow excitedly and walked to the podium with her skirt in hand.

With tears in his eyes, he thanked many people, including director Bigelow, the two producers Megan Ellison and Katherine, agent Susan Cobos, as well as Ivaca and Link, praising them as the most perfect I thanked them many times in a row.

"Have you slept with her?"

In the audience, Taylor asked, clapping his hands.

"of course not."

"Really? You will help her publicize the Best Actress Award without having sex?"

Taylor asked suspiciously, blinking.

Link covered his forehead and said, "We helped Jessica publicize this award. First, she performed well and has the ability. Second, successful public relations can increase box office revenue and earn millions or tens of millions more. This kind of investment is very Good deal, it doesn’t matter if you haven’t slept with her, and so does Jennifer Lawrence.”

"Haha, I still believe you when you say Jessica, but I don't believe Jennifer Lawrence at all."

Taylor said as she wrinkled the bridge of her nose.

Link shrugged his shoulders, not sharing her knowledge.

"Who are you planning to nominate as Best Actress at the next Oscars?"

"How are you?"

"It's not a surprise, it's enough for me to have a Grammy Award."

Taylor said with his chin raised slightly.

At the recent Grammy Awards ceremony, Taylor once again won two Grammy Awards for her fifth album "Red". She now has eight Grammy Awards in her hand.

She has the qualifications to be proud.

"Pervert, you are so awesome, why didn't you even get an Oscar nomination for Best Actor?"

Taylor asked with a half-smile.

Link didn't answer her, he just put his hand behind the chair and gently squeezed her buttocks through the thin skirt.

Taylor's face turned red, and his white fists clenched tightly.

At the end of the awards ceremony, the Best Director Award was won by Ang Lee, the director of "Pi". He won this award for the second time and was also the first person to win this award for a 3D film.

"The movie that won Best Picture was."

On the podium, presenters Jack Nicholson and Michelle Obama looked at the card in the envelope and shouted, "Escape from Tehran!"

"Yeah!!"

There was a burst of cheers from the crew of "Escape from Tehran."

On Rotten Tomatoes, the film with the highest approval rating in this category is "Pi" at 39.4%.

"Escape from Tehran" ranked second with 22.7%. Although "Lincoln" also conforms to the main theme, director Spielberg did not perform well on this movie, which caused many problems in the movie, with an approval rating of only 10.3%.

The approval ratings of the other seven movies are all below 10%.

Originally "Pi" was considered to be the winner of this year's Oscar for Best Picture, but after the award was announced, it was "Escape from Tehran". Ben Affleck and others were very excited.

Link also clapped his hands with joy. If "Escape from Tehran" wins this award, it will earn tens of millions more at the global box office. As the film's distributor and producer, Lionsgate will also be able to make more money.

"Damn it! How could they get this award?"

Harvey said angrily.

“Lionsgate is getting better at Oscar PR.”

Bob said.

"Shut up! Many of Lionsgate's public relations awards methods are copied from me, mine! "Escape from Tehran" wins, and that **** Link can make tens of millions more. Damn it, this is all your fault. If You didn't foolishly choose to invest in "The Master" in the first place. We should celebrate the victory with them at this time instead of watching Link being proud. Bob, this is all your fault."

Harvey cursed harshly.

Bob didn't protest.

On the podium, three producers including "Escape from Tehran" producer Ben Affleck and Lionsgate producer Stacey Snyder gave acceptance speeches, expressing their gratitude to the Academy and Lin. Gram and Ivaca.

Link and Iwaka received three thanks tonight.

Bang bang bang!

Finally, host Seth MacFarlane and soprano singer Kristen Chenoweth took the stage to perform "Here's To The Losers".

The 85th Academy Awards concluded successfully.

Considering that there were still children at home, Link, Ivaca, and Taylor did not attend the Oscar dinner and drove directly back to the mountainside villa.

On the way, Taylor reported Link to molesting her in front of Iwaka and punched Link several times.
