Chapter 339
"Ladies and gentlemen, the awards ceremony is about to begin, please return to your seat, thank you."
The radio in the theater began to remind in turn, wishing that the performers could sit down quickly, after all, there was no room for any mistakes in the live broadcast.
The number of North American viewers of the Oscars has been stable at more than 4000 million, the highest was at the beginning of 1999, because "Titanic" not only swept the world at the box office, but also won many awards at the Oscars.
Eve saw many Chinese actors and behind-the-scenes staff not far away. They were basically from the crew of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". The total of 10 nominations should not be underestimated.
Leading the nomination list is "Gladiator," which has 12 nominations.
The other film of the tripartite confrontation is "Almost Famous", which received 9 nominations and ranked third, namely Best Picture, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Two Best Supporting Actresses, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction.
Eve's other movie "Mulholland Drive" only had two bare nominations, one for Best Director and one for Best Actress. There was no public relations in the whole process, and she was basically determined to withdraw from the competition for awards.
Like "Legally Blonde" can't get an Oscar nomination at all, it's a chick movie through and through.
In addition to the three leading nomination films, "du-ping-network" also received five nominations.
Several films this year were named and criticized by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the sponsor of the Oscars, for excessive public relations. Giving DVDs of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" to the judges for bribery.
Both canvassing activities were named by the academy, which made Columbia Pictures laugh from ear to ear.Although it belongs to the Sony group, there is also "Almost Famous" nominated for best picture this year, so it is very happy to see those two films being criticized and then ridiculed by the media all over the world.
Same bed can have different dreams, not to mention just the same parent company.
There were more than 700 live audiences and many staff members in the theater. Eve turned her head and looked behind to see the densely packed space. The audience on the second floor couldn't see their faces clearly at all.
Her position is in the first row on the left side of the stage, just across the aisle from Julia Roberts.Next to Roberts is Tom Hanks and his wife. The two-time Oscar winner has been nominated for this year's best actor, and the position must be in the middle.
There is also a certain mystery in the seat arrangement of the Oscars. The front row is almost full of nominees for acting awards, which is convenient for cameras to capture.And the bigger and more popular people are, the more they sit in the middle.
Under this arrangement, the acting nominees of the same crew will be gathered together. For example, Keanu and Mrs. Coen are on the left of Eve, but the position of the director Cameron and his wife is in the third row behind him, while the rest of the nominees The behind-the-scenes staff of the company are even after the fifth row.
Corresponding to Eve is Russell Crowe sitting on the right side of the stage. Although he has also been nominated for an Oscar, his background is still not as good as the group in the middle, so he can only sit with curly hair on his head. there.
Although it is already 2001, all the movies that participated in the Oscar selection were released in 2000. Since it is the first awards ceremony in the 21st century, the awards ceremony must be much more grand.
So this time the attendance lineup is very luxurious, even some movie stars who have no works are invited to attend.
After the opening broadcast ended, a retrospective clip of film history appeared on the big screen in front of it, and viewers who watched the live TV broadcast could directly watch the clip broadcast by NBC TV station without looking at the screen.
Eve and Keanu did not straighten their backs, but chose a more comfortable and lazy way to lean against the back of the chair. If they were too serious, they would look a little restrained.
The century-old history of film development appears on the screen. Classic films from different periods such as "Chaplin", "Gone with the Wind", "Singin' in the Rain", "The Sound of Music", and "The Godfather" come out in turn, and there are also signs of each period. Sex actors also appear with the music flowing.
Some of these people are dead, some are gray-haired, pioneers in the development of the film industry.
When the short film finished playing, there was thunderous applause, and everyone including Eve dedicated their applause to these people. Without their hard work, the film industry would not be where it is today!
The applause continued, and Eve thought that the host was about to appear, but she never expected that another video would appear on the big screen.
Astronauts from the International Space Station actually sent back a video from space. The male and female astronauts greeted audiences all over the world with their unique American humor.
This is definitely not a live broadcast, but everyone is still very surprised. At the same time, the astronauts introduced the host of the award ceremony. The obvious Stephen Martin logo appeared on the International Space Station. I don’t know if it was carried up. It was made by the astronauts themselves in space.
Accompanied by the sound of live music, the white-haired master who is famous for his comedy strode out from the backstage of the awards ceremony, waving his right hand to greet everyone as he walked.
"It's finally starting!"
Eve relaxed a little bit. She is resigned to her fate now, and whether she gets it or not depends on luck, but she is still very young, and she will go all out to sprint for the Best Actress award next.
Keanu seemed to have telepathy, he turned his head and patted his girlfriend's hand, and said amidst the loud applause, "We can go to the party tonight and have a good time."
"I hope I can play. I feel like I haven't been to this kind of party for a long time." Although Eve is not a social freak, she still misses this feeling sometimes.
Who knew Keanu smiled: "I have attended a lot of parties in Hollywood, and recently I don't want to meet the judges anymore."
In the past, it was for public relations, but now it is for fun and leisure.
Regardless of whether she is frustrated or proud, she will attend Vanity Fair's Oscar dinner. Last year, she got two projects there. Although one of them has not been filmed until now, this is actually a normal state.
"The Bourne Shadow" and "How to Get Away with Murder" were both confirmed at the Vanity Fair party. This year, Eve has already started thinking about follow-up projects.
Behind Stephen Martin on the stage is a five-meter-tall golden statuette, which looks very domineering. When he appears, he has a comedic effect, which makes people grin.
Who knew that the moment this guy opened his mouth, the stars below were sweating, and he directly directed the artillery towards the political side.
"Thank you, everyone. We are very grateful that we live in a beautiful country. If it was Afghanistan, the statue would have been blown up long ago."
While talking, Stephen pointed to the Oscar statuette behind him. After teasing politics, he began to blacken himself again: "In January, they asked me if I could host the awards ceremony, but I dared not agree. Because I was worried that the facelift would not give enough time to recover."
The laughter of the audience came out involuntarily, even in front of the TV.
The first celebrity who was used to make fun of him was Russell Crowe. At this time, Russell looked like a fresh meat. After being clicked by the host, he looked confused and looked very interesting.
Eve was still laughing at others for a second, but in the next second, she realized that it was her turn.
"Eve Campbell, 23 years old."
As soon as she read her name and age, the audience and colleagues applauded her. Such a young actress is the only one among the nominees today who received two nominations.
Not only is her acting skills outstanding, but her popularity and box office appeal are also very high. The key is not to be a monster, and it is almost impossible to see what she has.
The director quickly cut the scene while everyone was applauding, allowing the 8 million viewers around the world to watch the live broadcast to see the calm and beautiful girl.
Eve knew that the camera was shooting herself, so she smiled generously, and her whole body instantly became bright and sunny.
"I welcome young actors to join, because they always quietly remind me that time is running out." Stephen paused, let the laughter of the audience subside, and then said: "Eve, the feeling of being famous is Isn't it weird?"
Facing the question thrown by the host, Eve shook her head, and then replied with an exaggerated mouth shape: "It's very cool!"
The people in the auditorium didn't have microphones, and the surroundings couldn't pick up the sound at all, so she had to use this method to let everyone see what she was talking about. After all, the two words verygood are still very common, and anyone who can understand English can understand them.
"That's right, as Hollywood stars, we have a lot of unexpected gains. In addition to getting free things, we can also jump in line at airport supermarkets and other places, and even when we have a liver transplant..."
After cueing Eve, Stephen Martin performed another skit on the stage, pretending that he was a liver transplanter, exaggerating so much that he directly grabbed it, which was very funny.
Even in order to show the brand of his outfit, he performed another scene where he was forced by the organizing committee.The designer wanted Stephen to help with advertising, but the organizing committee did not allow this kind of thing to be done on the Oscar stage, so Stephen deliberately said that he would call his friend Giorgio Armani.
As soon as the words fell, Eve and Keanu both leaned forward and back, and were so teased by the host that they almost burst into tears.
Stephen really didn't advertise the brand, he just said the name Giorgio Armani, but who doesn't know that this is a brand?Julia Roberts and others also behaved in the same way, and were stunned by his wit, so there is such an operation!
Eve and Keanu are the spokespersons of the brand, and the effect may not be as strong as Stephen's words.Because the clothes are only worn on the body, and they don't write a big logo on the body.
The 10-minute opening was wonderful, and it was completely watching stand-up comedy. Eve was shaking with laughter at this time, and she didn't expect the time to pass so fast!
When the first award presenter, Catherine Zeta-Jones, stepped onto the podium, the camera cut for a second to show her husband Michael Douglas.
In any case, Catherine in a black dress looks like an elegant black swan, full of the seductive temperament of a mature woman, and she is also a well-known actress in Hollywood who emphasizes both sexiness, beauty and acting skills.
And this best art award was directly won by Ye Jintian of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Eve was very happy for him.
And then Nicolas Cage came up with the envelope. He is now on fire and has not yet become the king of bad movies, so everyone is very curious why this popular actor came out to present the award.
According to Cage's status, even if he is eligible to present the best actress and best director, what is the reason for inviting him out so early?
Eve was full of doubts in her mind, and asked in a low voice: "Could it be that the order of the awards has changed?"
"Probably not, I haven't heard of it." Keanu said that he was also confused, "It should be to present the award on behalf of someone else."
Cage didn't have any nonsense, and said into the microphone: "Jazz, Cannes Film Award winner, national treasure, critically acclaimed, Oscar winner and a series of words to describe tonight's best supporting actress nominees, but I think they All the best."
Eve froze for a moment. She turned out to be awarding her own award. The male supporting role and the female supporting role are basically the opening scenes of the awards ceremony, and they will be awarded at the beginning, so there is no need to struggle for four or five hours.
"Nominees: Judi Dench, Chocolate, Julie Walters, Get Out, Marcia Gay Harden, Pollack, Eve Campbell, Almost Famous "Almost Famous" by Frances McDormand."
The lineup of nominations is actually very luxurious. Judi Dench and Francis are both Oscar winners, while Julie Walters was nominated for an Oscar more than ten years ago, and she is also a British Oscar winner.Even the youngest Eve is also the best actress at Cannes and the Golden Globes, with a very high gold content!
Every actor has a wonderful performance, and the scene where Eve sees herself is the well-received scene of turning her head to the wind, laughing and crying.
Strange to say, Eve's head was completely blank at this time, and she didn't know what she was doing. She just smiled at the camera and clasped her hands tightly. There seemed to be beads of sweat on her palms.
The rest of the candidates were rather relaxed. Judy Dandy didn't seem to care at all, and Francis tilted his head. They all knew in advance that their chances of winning the award were very slim.
Eve is the only one who really cares about gains and losses. She is worried that the judges will not vote because she is too young and beautiful.
Nicolas Cage didn't make a fool of himself. He opened the envelope, glanced at the name, looked to the left of the stage, and said, "The winning actress is——Eve Campbell!"
As soon as the name came out, thunderous applause and cheers erupted at the scene.
She deserves this award!
The author has something to say: I finally won the prize~~~Scattering flowers to celebrate~~~
