Rebirth in America
Chapter 125: Seal the Queen Again
On March 21, 1956, the 28th Academy Awards ceremony finally began. This year's awards ceremony is still held simultaneously in two places, respectively at the RKO Pantages Theater in Los Angeles and the NBC Century Theater in New York.
Some time ago, Alex's name kept popping up in front of the American people, and many people were eagerly looking forward to his attendance at the Oscars. Many people let out a sigh of disappointment when they learned that Alex once again refused to attend the awards ceremony.
"Who does this little kid think he is? He refuses to attend Hollywood award ceremonies one after another." People who don't know the situation said angrily when faced with this situation.
Someone immediately refuted him and said, "Don't you know? Alex is currently busy developing the world's most advanced computers. How can he have time to play house with these entertainment stars? He is a scientific inventor. In today's world He designed the most advanced computers.”
Soon, a so-called "expert" interjected and said: "Yes, I have also heard that he is very powerful. Dr. Shockley, who won the Nobel Prize in Physics, must be great. When the doctor made no progress in researching two-stage transistors, , with Alex’s help, five or six types of bipolar transistors were invented in one fell swoop.”
"Wow, it turns out that Alex Carpenter is so powerful. It seems that the Oscars are not important to him at all. Only the Nobel Prize can be valued by him." Everyone was attracted by this The words of the "experts" were shocked, and they all sighed.
"That's not the case!" Another person shook his head after hearing this and said, "Didn't you read the newspaper? Shockley's bipolar transistor patent was actually given to him by Alex."
"How is it possible?" Everyone was shocked. From this point of view, Alex should win the Nobel Prize. As we all know, since the invention of the bipolar transistor, it has truly become an important component in the electronics industry. The extensive use of bipolar transistors has enabled the electronics industry to develop rapidly, reflecting the importance of transistors.
It was precisely because of this that Shockley and two other scientists won the Nobel Prize. They said it was because of the invention of the transistor, but in fact it was because of the invention of the bipolar transistor that they won the Nobel Prize. This situation is like Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning jointly proposed the theory of "parity non-conservation", which was later personally verified by physicist Wu Jianxiong. As a result, Li Zhengdao and Yang Zhenning won the Nobel Prize, but Wu Jianxiong got nothing.
Not only ordinary people are talking about Alex, but even the celebrities present are constantly being questioned by reporters about Alex.
"No, I don't know him!"
"Best Director? Maybe he can win, but don't you think he is too young?"
"Yes, I know he won the Golden Globe for best director, but this is the Academy Awards, not the Golden Globes."
"Alex is the smartest person I have ever met! He will definitely win the Oscar for Best Director, either now or in the future."
"My brother is a genius, but I'm not bad either! Don't always ask about his affairs, and pay more attention to the people present."
Among them, the crew of "The Sound of Music" received the most attention, especially Hepburn and Peck. There was a large circle of reporters around them, and it was overwhelming. Directors Richard and Morris were also surrounded by many reporters and were asked many questions about Alex. They finally broke through the siege and entered the theater.
The awards ceremony that the "Sound of Music" crew entered was live in New York, hosted by two people at the NBC Century Theater, namely Claudette Colbert and Joseph Mankiewicz.
These two are both celebrities in Hollywood. One has won the Academy Award for Best Actress, and the other has successively won the Academy Award for Best Director and Best Screenplay. It can be said that they are a perfect combination.
Among them, Claudette Colbert is 53 years old this year, but she still retains her charm and beauty. She was very popular in Hollywood in the 1930s and 1940s, with both appearance and acting skills. She was born in Paris, France, and has the romance and appearance of a French woman. She has an oval face, big vivid eyes and an elegant and charming manner.
Joseph Mankiewicz is a few years younger than her. He is only 47 this year, which is when a man is in his prime. He is an intellectual who is both witty and humorous, sarcastic and humorous. As a leading intellectual director, his characteristic is that he is good at applying chic film techniques to make fun of his modernity and urban flavor.
At the beginning, Joseph said jokingly: "It's a pity that the genius Alex was not present, otherwise he would have won another Best Director Award."
"Why can't he get it if he doesn't come? I think his voice for winning the prize is quite high." Claudette asked from the side.
"If he doesn't come, maybe the judges will be so angry that they won't give him this award. Just look at the Golden Globe Awards. They will definitely regret giving the best director to someone who was not present. I will Know!"
Joseph's words caused a chuckle from the audience, and the atmosphere became somewhat relaxed. The biggest and happiest laugh was from the crew of "The Sound of Music". Richard's laughter alone almost drowned out the other people's voices. In his opinion, his brother's glory is his glory.
This time Alex still asked him to accept the award on his behalf, but before that, he had already asked him to write a speech and stop talking nonsense.
Hepburn was sitting next to him. After hearing Joseph's words, she asked in a low voice: "Richard, do you think Alex can still win the Oscar this time?"
Before Richard could answer, Pike, who was also sitting next to Hepburn, spoke: "I'm afraid it's a bit difficult. After all, the Oscars don't represent the audience's preferences like the Golden Globe Awards. They are selected by the so-called review agencies. Newcomers and directors who are too young are unlikely to win the Oscar for Best Director. Alex suffers because he is too young. If it is an actor award, there may be some hope given his age."
After hearing this, everyone around them agreed with what Parker said. Even Morris, the assistant director, agreed: "It is indeed difficult for Alex to win the Best Director Award. When he talked to me about the Oscar, This has been expected for a long time.”
Richard was a little unconvinced, but he didn't know what to say, so he pouted and said nothing.
Soon, the Oscars came to the first big award, Best Picture. The nominees are "Life and Death," "Online," "A Good Man," "The Picnic," "Dream of Roses" and "The Sound of Music." The most popular candidates for this award were "A Gentleman" and "The Sound of Music." In the end, "The Sound of Music" defeated its opponents and won the Best Picture Award.
After all, the record-breaking box office of "The Sound of Music" is not fake. If the Oscar committee really dares to give this award to other films, I am afraid that it will not be until tomorrow that audiences around the world will be drowning in saliva.
The Best Actor award has nothing to do with "The Sound of Music". Parker once again acted as Hepburn's Green Leaf this time. But now that they are engaged, there is no point in dividing who is who. Whoever receives the award is the same between them. It is a wonderful thing to be the green leaves and red flowers of each other.
The final winner of the Best Actor award was Ernest Borgnine, the leading actor of "A Gentleman." This can be regarded as a consolation given to them by the Oscar committee to compensate for the loss of the Best Picture Award.
When it was the turn for Best Actress, Hepburn couldn't help but squeeze Parker's hand. She was also nominated for the Oscar for Best Actress. Although she is still very young, she should not win another Oscar for Best Actress in such a short time. But people all have desires, and when they see hope, they can’t help but want it.
"Relax, you will always be my best actress." Pike whispered in Hepburn's ear.
After hearing this, Hepburn smiled sweetly, making people feel as if the light was brightening in front of them, as if they were seeing a hibiscus flower in full bloom.
At this time, the final answer was announced on the stage: "The winner is... Audrey Hepburn of "The Sound of Music"!"
After hearing this, Hepburn's mind went blank and he was too surprised to react. When she learned about the nomination, she didn't have much expectations. Even more than ten seconds before the awards were presented, she still looked at the Oscars with the mentality of a bystander. Unexpectedly, she succeeded in sealing the title again!
This time Hepburn didn't almost run in the wrong direction like last time. She had already had an experience, and she quickly calmed down and walked to the stage. Thank you here, thank you there, and Alex must not be missed among them. This guy who was not present was the one mentioned most frequently by many people today.
The Best Supporting Actor didn't have anything to do with "The Sound of Music". In the end, Jack Lemmon of "Onboard" won. UU read www.uukansshu.net
When the award for Best Supporting Actress was presented, Bergman, who was sitting in the audience, immediately began to breathe heavily. At the Golden Globe Awards, she has already won a Best Supporting Actress. If she can still win an Oscar, it will really mean that the American people have completely forgiven her for what she did.
It is a pity that Bergman did not win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. It seems that some people are still resentful of her.
During this period, a number of less important awards were awarded. "The Sound of Music" won Best Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Music, etc.
Finally, when it came to the much-anticipated Best Director Award, everyone invariably pricked up their ears to listen to the host's voice, for fear of missing even the slightest bit. Richard was even more eager to try and almost ran to the stage to receive the award.
It is a pity that this award was not awarded to Alex, but to the director of "A Gentleman", Delbert Mann. Not only that, "A Gentleman" also won some other minor awards, such as best screenplay and so on.
It is worth mentioning that the best foreign language film went to the Japanese film "Miyamoto Musashi".
When the Oscars ended, many people were disappointed and angry that the Oscars did not award Alex the best director. For them, the more than 200 million North American box office revenue of "The Sound of Music" is enough to prove the excellence of this film, and Alex deserves to win the best director.
While others were complaining about Alex's experience, he was busy developing the latest generation of computers. This time he planned to use some cruel tricks on IBM, and he must kill the opponent to pieces.
