"Best Original Screenplay goes to..."

Robert Downey Jr. on the stage opened the envelope, and the result he read did not exceed Duke's expectations, "The King's Speech, David Seidler!"

This can be said to be the outpost award of the Best Picture Award, plus the best editing previously won, "The King's Speech" almost booked the best picture statuette.

If nothing else, "The King's Speech" will most likely win.

As "The Social Network", which was previously considered to be the main competitor of "The King's Speech", the entire awards ceremony has only won one statuette for the best adapted screenplay.

The big winner at the Golden Globes seems destined to be the underdog at the Oscars.

In a series of technical awards, "Gravity" became the biggest winner. Following the initial two awards for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, it won Best Soundtrack, Best Visual Effects, and Best Art Direction respectively. Best sound effects and best sound editing four statuettes.

Halfway through the ceremony, Duke's team had collected six Oscar statuettes.

It's just the key best script and best editing, but it went to his family.

The awards ceremony continued, perhaps because the hype of the previous leaks was too turbulent, the academy specially made some explanations for this.

Cheryl Boone Isaacs, the Academy's rotating chairperson, stepped onto the stage, and with the help of the big screen, gave a brief explanation of the Oscar selection process. In recent years, there have been more and more voices about the Oscar becoming a game of money and public relations. The bigger it is, the college seems to want to make a name for itself in this way.

The words of George Clooney, John Travolta, Michael Bay and many other judges are interspersed in it. If understood according to the words of these people, the Oscar is definitely a fair, open and just award.

It's a pity that everyone in the industry knows what's behind Oscar's glamorous appearance. It is a place where all kinds of transactions such as sex, money and personal connections are surging. Excellent works and characters are just the most basic entry conditions.

As one of the interviewees in the video, Will Smith also deliberately showed a funny scene. He covered his eyes, and then threw his pen at the list full of nominations...

He exemplifies the well-known way of voting with your feet.

"A secretary printed out the final tally, sealed the envelope, and pulled her out and shot her. We took the envelope and the results were absolutely confidential."

Amidst the laughter, this link came to an end, and the awards ceremony got back on track.

Next up are less-associated awards like best original song, whose two most recent films, "Inception" and "Gravity," didn't use any singers for their theme songs.

Some changes have been made in this year's Oscars, but the academy has always been conservative. For example, it rejected the award for the best stunt coordinator for the twentieth time before.

Although the academy's executive committee always said that it appreciates the contribution of the stunt coordinators to the film. But unwilling to make any changes, the stunt coordinators insisted there would be no such award even after they backed down and were willing to accept the award before the non-televised Oscar ceremony.

Stunt coordinators play a very important role in the film and have their own unique contribution to film production.

In the crew of this type of director at Duke. The stuntman is always a very critical existence.

They are responsible for designing a variety of complex and dangerous action scenes in film and television works, including car chases, fighting, blasting, underwater operations, high-altitude diving, etc., and then hand them over to stuntmen or professionals to complete.

This year's award ceremony has been going on so far, and the stage is not too lively. The reaction from the audience was also a bit cold, if it wasn't for the camera lens staring at it. I'm afraid many people will yawn.

With the passage of time, the judges who were still young in the 1990s also became old, which directly caused the 83-year-old Oscar to show an aging state year by year. Perhaps the Academy also realized its own problems, and specially recruited James Franco and Anne Hathaway, a young pair, for this purpose, but they still failed to save the doomed dull awards ceremony.

When Oscar announced at the beginning of this year that two young actors, James Franco and Anne Hathaway, would host the award ceremony, many movie fans believed that the two would surely bring a lot of bright spots to the dreary awards ceremony. It's a pity that the hosts of the two had no bright spots at all, and they failed to restore the dull trend of this party.

Maybe the jokes written by the planning team were too cold, the performance of the two on stage was not good, Anne? Telling jokes, but with little effect, James Franco was even worse, stuck on the stage like a log, indifferent to Anne Hathaway's various teasing.

At the same time, this year, the link of five performance award winners introducing five nominees, which was invented in previous sessions, was also cancelled.

This link has been very popular in the past few sessions, but because it is too much to mobilize teachers and waste time, so this year, the winners of the previous session will simply name the five nominees, and the academy seems to be deliberately controlling the entire award presentation As for the time of the ceremony, as long as the winners' speeches exceed the specified time, the following will keep reminding and urging them. The result of rushing to the scene is that many winners this year have not finished their speeches.

"The Oscar awards ceremony has been going downhill year by year. The old judges are not even willing to use their brains to think of a better idea. They probably want to go home and sleep after the awards are handed out."

Hearing Scarlett Johansson's boring complaints, Duke felt that it was not unreasonable.

If the Academy and Oscar do not actively reform and save themselves in the future, it will not be long before they even slip out of the top five or even top ten North American audience ratings.

How embarrassing would this be for Hollywood?

After years of evolution and rehearsals, Oscar has basically achieved the superficial staggering, rich clothes and fine food. Every star seems to love peace and all mankind, and he keeps thanking the judges and parents.

Under the procedural scene, the rules and unspoken rules have reached a certain degree of unity, and people in the circle have nothing to say-even if a movie with a box office hit fails to win, the winning movie Art films definitely work, too, and vice versa.

But audiences don't want to see this. What they need more is fresh and surprising stimulation, and what they need is that the films and actors they recognize can win awards.

However, the Oscars will not change based on the audience's choice. It is not the 'Teen Choice Awards' or the 'People's Choice Awards' after all.

So, Leonardo? DiCaprio had to run with him again.

"Tonight's best actor is..."

Sandra Bullock on the stage opened the envelope and only glanced at it, "Colin Firth, "The King's Speech", congratulations!"

As has been the case throughout awards season, Leonardo DiCaprio lost to Colin Firth, Leonardo DiCaprio lost to Colin Firth again...

Duke turned his head to look at Leonardo. Leonardo looked calm and there was nothing unusual. It seemed that he was used to running with him.

On the Internet on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there were voices complaining about Leonardo.

"Xiao Li's performance in "Inception" is so good, why can't he win the award?"

"It's not fair, the Oscars are not fair at all!"

"Is there any reason why popular people and movies lose to people and movies that no one pays attention to?"

Looking at these online messages, Wang Ziming can only feel that Oscar is really unfair.

He thought about it and left his opinion on the Internet.

"What really defeated Leonardo DiCaprio was not Colin Firth and "The King's Speech" itself. In the mainstream values ​​of the United States, aging conservatism and Puritanism have always prevailed. Therefore, Colin The role of Lin Firth and "The King's Speech" are based on the construction of a classic and friendly, clumsy and brave leader image, with a bourgeois-like feeling of drunkenness, to move the Oscar judges whose average age is over 50 years old. Underneath, although Duke and Xiao Li are also the children of the United States, the stories and characters are obviously far away from the context and reality that the veterans of the film academy can accept."

"Duke won't get nothing, will he?"

The topic on the Internet quickly turned to their more concerned aspects.

"What awards will be presented next?"

"Best Actress!"

In the Kodak Theater, the tall and strong Jeff Bridges stepped onto the stage. The best actor in the last Oscar stopped at the center of the stage.

"It's my great honor to bring you the Best Actress nominations tonight," he said, looking down the stage. "Annette Bening, the characters you have created in your outstanding acting career are full of power and life. Never tire, and this time the characters in "The Kids Are Alright" are no exception."

"Nicole Kidman, year after year, you continue to deliver wonderful performances, the characters are real, the interpretation is vivid, and this time your performance in "The Rabbit Hole" was rated as a personal best performance."

"Jennifer Lawrence, the depth of your character on the screen has far exceeded your age. On behalf of everyone, I am looking forward to your future acting achievements. You broke through in "Winter's Bone". The performance makes people look forward to it even more.”

"Natalie Portman, you have conquered movie fans of all ages with the many roles you have played. No matter what kind of role you play, your love for acting is fully demonstrated. In this year's work "Black In Swan, the Nina you created is the best interpretation."

"Scarlett Johansson, your characteristics are true, brave and natural. No matter what kind of role you play, you use your peaceful and broad mind to resonate with the audience. The outstanding performance has won the recognition of the audience..." (to be continued~^~)
