Exploiting Hollywood 1980

The two Vietnam War movies have been entangled until the Academy Awards gala on April 9. Relevant comments on TV and newspapers were all occupied by "Return of Honor" and "Deer Hunter", and "In the Wrong Paradise", which also won 8 nominations, seems to have been forgotten by everyone.

Ronald was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room watching live TV of the awards show.

Marla broke up with him anyway, and her yawning appearance appeared on TV for several days, making Marla embarrassed in front of her friends. And Ronald criticized the director of "The Deer Hunter", Michael Cimino, on TV, making the circle of high school girls who worship Hollywood and Oscar think he is a fake expert who doesn't understand.

The more the "Deer Hunter" won the award, the more it reflects Ronald's ignorance of the movie, and it is not surprising that he was spurned by high school girls.

Plus I couldn't recommend Mara to other film crews...

"The police have arrested 17 demonstrators. This incident will not adversely affect the awards show..."

Ahead of the awards ceremony, the police arrested the leaders of several hundred protests against the Oscar nominations for racist films such as "The Deer Hunter" and films slandering the Vietnam People's Army.

Ronald was so happy when he saw it, that's it! In his heart, he had no sympathy for the film and its director.

This year's ceremony was held at the Dorothy Chandler Hall at the Los Angeles Concert Hall, and TV cameras swept away, and an oversized model of the Oscar trophy was placed on the exterior wall of the hall, glittering in gold.

Security guards wearing red coats and black bow ties stood in a line, lined up to welcome the star team, and helped the slowly moving forward team to open the door to drop off passengers. On the other hand, they also separated potential demonstrators from ardent fans who got into the outer protective circle.

The off-site host began to announce the names and backgrounds of each male and female star who arrived. All the nominees, enjoying the treatment of a higher grade, will report the awards and movies they have been nominated for.

The stars Ronald recognized were Superman actor Reeve, veteran British actor Laurence Oliver, and a few familiar blonde beauties, but unfortunately can't remember what movie they had acted in.

Jane Fonda was also caught on camera, and today she wore a lavender one-shoulder dress that showed her collarbone, and it was also covered with Bling Bling sequins, which shone in the light.

The Oscars scene opened with a movie score mashup. Three different orchestras played the three film theme songs nominated for Best Score this year.

This year's host has a newcomer, Johnny Carson, host of the NBC talk show "The Tonight Show." With profound skills, he made a few jokes when he came up.

"This year is the 51st Academy Awards, and it's a 2-hour show and a boring party that's stretched to 4 hours."

"350 million people around the world watched the telecast of the awards show. Including South America, so the former presidents of the studios, and the former CFOs could also see the live broadcast."

This is a joke about the financial scandals of several major movie studios in the past two years. After several high-level executives were sued by the IRS, they went to South America.

"I am very proud to stand on this solemn occasion. I have seen a lot of new faces, especially those who have been repaired on the old faces."

"This year's movies have all been excellent, and for me personally, 'In the wrong place' is especially true, which is the first time in history that star Warren Beatty can't find one he can 'use' body."

In short, if you pay attention to the current gossip, Johnny Carson's slaps are still very good, and they can be easily retracted.

At the end of the opening speech, Johnny Carson introduced a Chinese-American Mr. Zhang and gave a speech on stage because it was the first time this year was televised to Xiangjiang in the Chinese-speaking region.

Ronald was surprised but also a little excited. It was the first time in history that Chinese people made an opening speech in Chinese at the Oscar ceremony.

"At the end of the day, Li Gegang comes here and laughs, the handsome boy should like the aluminum boy, and the aluminum boy should like the handsome boy..."

Ronald was stunned for a long time, as if Mr. Zhang told a joke in Cantonese.

what the hell! Next time I will use Mandarin, Budong wow, do you know it?

The first major award given out is Best Supporting Actor. "The Deer Hunter"'s Christopher Walken beat Bruce Dern of "The Homecoming" to take the lead. 0:1

Ronald picked up the teacup and drank the lipstick tea, don't worry, the good show is yet to come. He completely substituted into the mentality of the "Return of Honor" crew, and felt the same hatred for "Deer Hunter".

Then there are a lot of small awards for Fuhua Dao, short films, and documentaries.

The second prize of importance was Best Editing, also won by "The Deer Hunter". 0:2

Ronald ate a waffle, well, there are some who lose first and then come back.

Then there are a bunch of small awards for best soundtrack, best foreign language film, etc. that don't matter.

The third major award is Best Supporting Actress. "The Deer Hunter" newcomer Meryl Streep is nominated for this.

Ronald was a little nervous. If he wins again, it will be 0:3, and there will not be many chances left for the "Return" crew.

Best Supporting Actress, as usual, will be awarded by the male star who has previously won the Best Supporting Actor. This time, the Hollywood veteran George Burns is invited. He is in his 80s. At the age of 79, he won the best supporting actor, and he is the oldest actor to win the award so far.

He presented the award together with a tall young girl, Brooke Shields, who swept the American film industry with the heroine of "The Legend of the Baby" last year.

In the close-up shot, Bo Ji Xiaosi is tall and sassy, ​​with long hair in a shawl, and two eyebrows that have not been trimmed. She looks very rough and wild, but just rightly modifies her slightly soft eyes, neutralizes the overall temperament, and becomes more and more obvious. Bring out the unique beauty of Brooke Stoudemire.

Old Burns gave the chance to announce the winner to Brooke Stoudemire, who could be his granddaughter. Brooke Stoudemire is not stage fright, "The winner is... Maggie Smith, 'California Suite'"

It's an interesting coincidence that Maggie Smith, who played a British actress in the movie "California Suite," was nominated for an Oscar, came to Los Angeles for an award ceremony, didn't win, and ended up reuniting with her husband.

And Maggie Smith herself is a British actress, in reality she won the Oscar for best supporting actress for playing a female star who did not win an Oscar.

In addition, in the 1960s, she also won the Oscar, which is a successful career in acting, and has won the Grand Slam of British and American performance awards.

Ronald relaxed a little, it was a good thing not to be 0:3 by the "Deer Hunter", the newcomer Streep, as expected, his acting skills were still a little off.

Then "Return" won the best original screenplay and beat "The Deer Hunter" head-on.

Ronald poured another cup of black tea from the kettle and tasted it, 1:2.

Best adapted screenplay went to "Midnight Express" screenwriter Oliver Stone. It tells the story of an American youth who was wrongfully thrown into prison by Turkey.

It was thought that the leading actor and actress would be awarded next, but at this moment, Cary Grant, a big star in the golden age of Hollywood, suddenly stepped onto the podium. Ronald was a little stunned for a while. Gary has been out of the public eye for many years and doesn't attend public events much. Today is...?

It turned out that he was here to present his good friend, the British Shakespeare master and film actor, Sir Lawrence Oliver, with the Oscar Lifetime Honorary Award.

Lawrence Oliver was very old and had sparse hair, but his basic skills were still perfect. He spoke the award speech in Shakespearean style, and the audience burst into applause. Lawrence, who was applauded and paid tribute by the crowd, still had some of the chicness that he had been flying with Vivien Lei back then. He also made a movie last year, which is also considered an old man.

Next is the award for the most tense best actor and actress. The two Vietnam War movie crews have been nominated. It depends on who will die... No, where should it be called glory.

The Best Actress award went to last year's Best Actor winner Richard Dreyfuss, who was accompanied by the beauty Shirley MacLean. Shirley is a person who does not play cards according to the rules. Instead of reading the nomination list immediately, she broadcasts the missing person notice on the spot.

"Oh, my dear brother, where are you? My dear, gifted, lovely, intelligent, sexy brother, Warren Beatty, where are you?"

"Oh, Warren, Warren, Warren, just imagine what awards you and your sister can get for working together?"

Ronald spit out the black tea in his mouth. This is asking for help on the spot, asking for an award. It turns out that she is the director + starring of "The Wrong Child in the Wrong Heaven", Warren Beatty's sister, I don't know why the sister and brother have different surnames?

Richard Dreyfuss stepped forward to announce this year's Best Actress winner: Jane Fonda.

"Hahaha, 2:2" Ronald laughed again.

Jane Fonda's thank you speech is quite special. She learned sign language and translated the first paragraph of her thank you speech in sign language on the spot.

"The reason why I sign language is because the organizers of the party do not allow me to bring my own whiteboard subtitles for people with hearing impairments to watch. This award is for disabled people across the country, for disabled Vietnam veterans, and for many people with disabilities in North Vietnam. And got..."

The audience applauded again.

The award for the best actor is Ginger Rogers, the former queen of musicals who has become fat. The old lady's lines skills are still strong, and she has compared the same guest, the black singer Diana Ross.

Diana Ross was able to appear at the Oscars because last year she starred in a black version of "The Wizard of Oz" with black people such as rising star Michael Jackson. Of course, it goes without saying that the box office and awards all failed miserably.

"The Best Actor winner is... Jon Voight, 'Return'," announced Fat Old Lady Ginger Rogers.

3:2, overtaken.

Ronald breathed a sigh of relief. He hated the "Deer Hunter" so much, partly because Mara accused him of not understanding the "Deer Hunter". It was a 3-hour long movie. The first third of the wedding was filmed, and I fell asleep watching it. How could it be better?

The other half is the fat boy Michael Cimino mocking him for not being artistically gifted. If the deer hunter fails this time, it will prove that he is right, and there is nothing to be angry about.

"The Deer Hunter" lost all the male and female protagonists. Ronald is not so angry. He can get so many nominations. Maybe it's the operation of Universal?

The last two awards, and the two most important ones, are Best Director and Best Picture.

For the best director award, is "Godfather" director Francis Coppola.

After Coppola came to power, he was a little out of breath, and said a lot of the great significance of a director, not only to make films, but also to lead the thinking of society. The director is the novelist of the new age, the Leo Tolstoy of the new age, the Dostoevsky...

The newspapers said that his "Apocalypse Now" should have claimed the title of the first major production to deal positively with the trauma of the Vietnam War. It's a pity that due to various accidents, the new film has been delayed and has not yet been released, and was preempted by the "deer hunter".

Finally finished, Coppola announced the winner:

"The best director was awarded to my colleague Michael Cimino."

"Hey, it's hot..." Ronald accidentally burned his tongue with the black tea, "What judge, it's really unreliable."

When the fat boy Michael Cimino came on stage, he kissed the female guest and dyed a mouthful of lipstick, and the female guest had to wipe him off with his hands. He seemed very excited and was about to give his acceptance speech. As soon as he spoke, he showed a plump double chin:

"It's very difficult to humbly say what you're proud of on an occasion like this. But I'm proud to be here, proud of the film we've made, proud to be part of the Hollywood tradition..."

Ronald was silent for a while, "Hey, Best Director Oscar!" What is he? For a clown like Sleepy Luo, no one remembers who he is.

The final award is the best picture, and the best director is usually awarded to a film. In other words, "The Deer Hunter" has already won at the 51st Oscars.

The presenter was John Wayne, the first tough guy in Westerns, who was already seriously ill. But at this time, he was already out of shape by the pain. John Wayne is also a tough guy in reality, refusing anyone's support and escort, insisting on completing his final public appearance independently.

He endured a lot of pain and slowly read through all the nominations. All the audience gave a standing ovation in honor of his fearless act.

"The Best Picture Winner - 'The Deer Hunter'".

As expected.

Ronald got up and turned off the TV and walked out of the apartment, the spring breeze blowing on him very nicely. He walked to the small grocery store at the corner of the street, bought a pack of black tea, thought about it, and then took a pack of colorful cigarettes and a pack of matches. He, who has never smoked, lit one for the first time in history, and slowly inhaled.

"I'm so proud to be here..." Ronald recalled in his heart the acceptance speech of Fat Boy Michael Cimino.

Yes, to be able to come to the Oscars and accept the award is indeed an achievement that is very proud...

And what about yourself? The sarcasm of the fat boy sounded in his ears again: "If this is the true opinion of this sleepy Luo, I advise him not to take the film road. The perception of beauty and art is a talent, and a talent like his, no matter how hard he works, it is very good. It's hard to get ahead in the film industry."

Ronald's ears grew red again.

The most profound ridicule of others to you is actually ignoring...
