Chapter 179 The Second Coming of Oscar (2)

One hundred and seventieth IX second coming Oscar (2)

"It's great to see you here again. I don't think most of you would have thought that I'm still standing here after a year. Obviously, the Oscar judges should give me an award and give me an award." The longest award, you must know that it is not easy to stand here for a year." The host of the awards ceremony is still Billy Crystal, who just appeared on the stage and said so with a serious look, which immediately attracted The whole hall roared with laughter.

Adrian, who had seen Christo's method of adjusting the atmosphere and witty gags last year, immediately applauded along with the crowd, but looking at his forehead, it seemed that he was more bald than last year.

"That's it?" Crystal seemed very dissatisfied, and immediately spread his hands, "Can't it be more intense? Or do you want me to come down and hug everyone one by one?"

The haha ​​laughter suddenly sounded again, many eyes drifted towards Adrian, and even the camera on the big screen next to the stage turned towards him, Adrian shook his head with a smile, watching Watching Christo on the stage continue to applaud.

After a few more people were teased by him, he finally announced the first award to be presented. Unlike last year's session, this year's first award is Best Supporting Actor. Obviously, the organizer intends to firmly grab the audience's attention from the very beginning.

Adrian didn't know how the audience in front of the TV felt, but the atmosphere at the scene had indeed been adjusted, and Samuel Jackson sitting in the front row obviously tensed up.

According to the usual practice, the last Best Supporting Actress winner, Mercedes Ruehl, walked to the stage with an envelope. After making a speech, as she waved the envelope in her hand, the large screen next to it was also divided into several pieces. piece. The faces of the candidates appeared one by one, and the scene became much quieter.

Although from the camera, the five candidates all appear calm and composed, but if you watch it on the spot, you will find that Jay Davidson's shoulders in "The Crying Game" are constantly shrugging up and down slightly, and he uses his breath to adjust his posture. mood; while David Paymer of "Mr. Saturday Night" clasped his hands together and kept moving; needless to say, Samuel Jackson, sitting upright in front of Adrian's eyes, with his hands clenched into fists and placed on his lap Trembling slightly; even Al Pacino, who was nominated for "Money Worshipers", seemed to be calm, but his fingers were knocking on the armrest unconsciously - of course, only Adrian could see it when he was close at hand.

The most relaxed one was Gene Hackman in "Unforgivable". He had already won the best actor a few years ago, so he didn't think much about the best supporting actor. Of course, it's just not too heavy. In the history of Oscars, there are not too many actors who have won both the best actor and the best supporting actor. They can win these two awards separately, even if it takes a long time Getting it is the highlight of an actor's career, so his eyes have been fixed on the stage.

This kind of atmosphere made Adrian feel excited, especially the biggest competitor, the crew of "Unforgiven" was sitting near them—otherwise, how could he see the situation of Gene Hackman. This was probably deliberately arranged by the organizers in order to attract attention.

According to the original history, Clint Eastwood will win the best director for "Unforgiven", the first film that completely smashed the heroic myth in the traditional western film. It's just that Adrian is added now. With two films being nominated for best director at the same time, I don't know who this award will eventually belong to.

All that needs to be done, just wait and see. Adrian folded his arms and stared at the stage in front of him, thinking so.

At this time, Mercedes Ruhr had already opened the envelope, looked at it and revealed a surprised name, and then glanced at the audience, losing everyone's appetite for a few seconds before smiling and announcing: "Jin? Hackman"

The hall that had been dull for a long time erupted into warm applause. The unbelievable Gene Hackman watched the stage with his eyes wide open for a long time. He didn't react until the person next to him pushed him and slapped him, and immediately jumped up from his seat. Excitedly, he punched the ceiling fiercely, and looked like he was still yelling "yes" from the shape of his mouth. An old man in his sixties actually made this action in full view, which shows how excited he is.

As for the other four, Samuel Jackson rubbed his cheeks, not hiding his disappointment; Jay Davidson shrugged, looking helpless; David Paymer puffed up in a gentlemanly manner No matter how you look at it, the smile on his face is squeezed out; only Al Pacino, who sincerely applauds Gene Hackman.

"Don't be discouraged, Samuel, there will be opportunities in the future." After the others comforted Jackson, Adrian also stepped forward and patted Jackson on the shoulder.

"I understand, it's just the first nomination anyway." Jackson smiled. Although there was still some reluctance in his eyes, he had basically adjusted.

Adrian nodded, and then looked at Pacino who was sitting in the back row. Pacino, who noticed his gaze, immediately waved his hand to show that it was okay. Come to think of it, he has a more important nomination tonight, and in a sense, losing Best Supporting Actor may have increased his chances of winning Best Actor instead.

So, Adrian didn't speak any more, leaned back in his chair and continued to watch the awards ceremony. After Hackman's excited speech was over and the applause rang again for a few minutes, Christo appeared on the stage again.

"Oh, I really envy Gene. He found a good partner and fully showed his charm on the screen. Oh, God, why can't they ask me to cooperate." Crystal said that suddenly It became sad, and the audience suddenly laughed.

After a few jokes, the awarding of Best Supporting Actress began again. Needless to say, the award presenter knew that Jack Palance, who won Best Supporting Actress for "City Slick" last year.

Looking at Palance who was making the opening remarks on the stage, Adrian couldn't help but sighed softly. Originally, he could have tried to win another Best Supporting Actress nomination for "Howards End", but it's a pity...and he couldn't avoid attending the awards ceremony today. He was so naive that he didn't know what to say. How many actresses are there? Eager to go to the red carpet of the Oscars, even if there is no nomination.

Adrian, who was in a trance, suddenly felt moved, and turned his head involuntarily. Monica looked at him without blinking.

"It's nothing, it's just a pity that I didn't win you a nomination for Best Supporting Actress." Adrian smiled slightly, and he was already very familiar with such a conversion technique.

"It doesn't matter, there will be sooner or later, isn't it?" Monica raised the corners of her mouth and brushed the hair around her ears, and whispered seductively.

"Yes, there will be." Adrian laughed, and patted her thigh secretly.

The Best Supporting Actress finally went to Marisa Tomei in "My Cousin Vinny", and then there was a cabaret show. It would be better not to go up and spoil the situation. However, disrupting the situation also has the benefits of disrupting the situation. At least when watching him dance to the rhythm a little clumsily, many people were amused and laughed. However, in the last section, Christo suddenly changed. Not only did he keep up with the dancers' rhythm, but he also danced very well. Therefore, the previous laughter turned into admiration, and there was warm applause at the same time.

"Wow, even though it's only a short section, I'm almost exhausted. I have to admire them for being able to dance so well." Crystal began to play tricks again, "Of course, I'm not bad, if I If you are unemployed, you can go to the bar to dance."

There was a lot of laughter at the scene. Of course, the applause never stopped. Just by his last few movements, we know that Christo has put in a lot of effort to practice. But this is also what he should do, who made him the host of the Oscars.

Naturally, next is the presentation of technical awards, such as best photography, best visual effects, best sound editing, etc., because of Adrian, "Jurassic Park" was released at the end of 1992, so several Special effects awards are nominated. With the amazing effect of "Jurassic Park", winning these awards is almost a no-brainer.

What's interesting is that "Howard's End" is also nominated for the best art direction and best costume design awards, and the biggest competitor in this is Coppola's "Four Hundred Years". The final result is that "Fantasy 400" won the best art direction, while "Howard's End" won the best costume design.

"Maybe, when we are free, we can watch the movie "Four Hundred Years of Surprise" together, Monica." After applauding and congratulating the costume designer of "Howard Endor" for winning this award, Adrian suddenly thought of something With a smile, he whispered to the woman beside him.

Although she didn't understand why Adrian was so interested, Monica didn't refuse - and there was no need to refuse.

"Happy to accompany you." She raised her eyebrows and smiled, looking particularly charming.

Adrian wanted to continue to say something, but Christo who appeared on the stage attracted his attention.

"Do you know what I discovered when I watched "Howards End"? This kind of literary and artistic film is really a good tool for hypnosis, although the clothes inside are really beautiful." Christo joked unceremoniously, He has a way of making people laugh, and I'm sure those of you who are in front of the TV at the moment and think this movie sucks will very much agree with him.

However, Christo's subject changed immediately: "However, this is indeed a good movie, especially after I patiently read the original novel, I realized how much effort Adrian put into writing the screenplay - of course, such an experience I really don't want to go through it again."

"This guy." Even with Adrian's restraint, he couldn't help rolling his eyes amidst the laughter.

"Okay, let's take a look at the next award. I believe some people are already looking forward to it." Crystal said as he slipped off the stage, and it was self-evident which award would be presented next.
