Hollywood Secret Garden

Amid the sound of music, host Whoopi Goldberg stepped onto the stage, and the 71st Academy Awards ceremony officially began.But I don’t know what Wubi is thinking, maybe it’s too much comedy, in short, wearing a servant’s costume with green front and black and white spots, and an apron, and the weird hairstyle is really "amazing".

"I wonder if she thought she was acting in a movie? It's so different from the style of hosting in 93." Angela whispered to Kevin Spacey, who was sitting on her left, while applauding.

The crew of "American Beauty" sat in the fourth, fifth, and sixth rows from the right of the venue. In addition to the actors and actresses Kevin, Annette, and Chris, the three young actors Wes, Mina, and Sarah also All came to the ceremony, and of course it was pure chance that Mina and Sarah sat next to each other.

The "Never Compromise" crew and the "Matrix" crew are next to them. After all, these three films are produced by Pixar.The advantage of this is that it will be very convenient to say hello to Soderbergh, Ridley, and aunt.

"Maybe she just wanted a different mode of hosting," Kevin rubbed his nose and shrugged, "But out of intuition, my hoopie will make a mess later on."

"Then, God bless her." Angela raised the corners of her mouth indifferently.

Unfortunately, what happened next caught Spacey right.Frankly speaking, Whoopi is still sharp with his tongue, making all the audience laugh from time to time, especially the editing of the best movie in which the host cameo this year can be said to be full of jokes, such as:

Albert Finney on the screen asked with a look of surprise: "Why do you think you can walk in and do whatever you want?" The camera turned, and the black man wearing the same style of clothes as Julia but much bigger Bi straightened her chest, and said in a rather helpless tone, "Because my big tits are too big."

And when the screen showed that Spacey was fantasizing on the bed, when the camera turned around, Ubi was covered in rose petals, only his head was exposed, and he opened his hands as if paddling water to throw out these petals, and asked while throwing: "Enough?" Is it? Is it enough?"

These clips are so ridiculous that the audience can't help but laugh, and Angela secretly teased Spacey: "If that is really your fantasy, it is definitely a complete tragedy."

"Unfortunately, that is Lester's fantasy and not mine, so even if it is a tragedy, it is Lester's tragedy, so don't connect it with me." Spacey didn't care at all, and laughed and booed the audience.

Whoopi did a good job of adjusting the atmosphere, but what makes people chill or "thunder" is that she will go to the backstage to change clothes after almost every award, and these clothes are all so strange that people can completely describe them I can't come out, some clothes challenge people's imagination at all, and she also put on some weird makeup on her face to match the clothes, it's too...

Angela could bear it at first, but the more she watched the goosebumps, the more she got goosebumps.

"I don't know whether she thinks this is a Broadway stage or a Las Vegas circus," she said unceremoniously to Sparrow on the other side, "I bet tomorrow's newspapers will be as good as possible." ridicule."

"Maybe this is the effect Whoopi wants." Sparrow replied with a smile.

As in the previous process, the Best Supporting Actor was awarded at the beginning. Unexpectedly, Albert Finney, who played the old lawyer in "Never Compromise", won this statuette by accident.

"It's a great honor to win the Best Supporting Actor. I think I would like to thank... I want to thank..." Albert, who held the statuette in his hand, was so excited that he was speechless. No wonder, after 40 years of acting His film was nominated four times for Best Actor but got nothing, even though he can see that the name can't give you anything more, but he really won the award—even if it's only Best Supporting Actor—still can't help being extremely excited.

Angela in the audience was a little surprised at this time. Some things were really unpredictable. From her point of view, Albert was not particularly outstanding among the several nominated actors. It can only be said that he won the Best Supporting Actor It was luck.But that's good too, it's an affirmation of the old man Finney for so many years, so Angela didn't hold back her applause.

This year's Oscars should be regarded as a rather amazing one. The reason is naturally the three films that Pixar participated in and a total of 17 nominations without repetitions. This is the first time in the history of the Oscars.

Needless to say, "The Matrix" is nominated for four technical categories, and it just so happens that Spielberg's "Saving Private Ryan" also has these four nominations. Best Sound and Best Sound Effects for Saving Private Ryan, and Best Editing and Best Visuals for The Matrix.

Although Angela was a little reconciled, it would be a good idea to grab two awards from the movie "Saving Private Ryan"—if "The Matrix" hadn't appeared in advance, these four awards would definitely be spoiled by the other party .

And "American Beauty" and "Never Compromise" are fun, with a bit of a dog-tooth taste.First of all, these two films are both produced by Pixar and both were nominated for best film. It is really funny for the film company to compete with itself.

"You asked us to nominate both films for best picture, and now both are nominated. The public relations department has called me several times to ask me which film I want to vote for!" Complain on the phone.

"Well...you can figure it out." Angela could only answer vaguely. After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, although deep down she still hopes that "American Beauty" will win the best picture.

Well, that's just one aspect of it, and let's not forget that these two films are fighting not only for Best Picture but also for Best Director, Best Actress and Best Screenplay.The most amazing thing is that Angela competed with Soderbergh for the best director for directing "American Beauty", but at the same time competed for the best original screenplay with Alan Bob for writing "Never Compromise", and also for "Never Compromise". American Beauty's soundtrack and John Williams competing for best soundtrack...Miss Genius is really good and strong.

"As we all know, an excellent script is the foundation of an excellent movie. Although a good script does not necessarily make a good movie, but with this foundation, the movie will definitely go to the next level," said the award presenter Jim Carrey on the stage Conversantly, "So let's see who wins Best Original Screenplay next."

After the headshot of the nominated screenwriter was separated on the small screen, Jim Carrey opened the envelope in his hand, followed him with a strange cry and showed an unbelievable expression, opened his mouth and looked up at the audience and looked down at the letter paper. Without saying a word, people couldn't help but want to punch him while laughing out loud.

"I have to say—it's such a pity," Jim Carrey shook his head with a sigh, "Personally, I wish someone had won the award, but... the winner of the best original screenplay is Ellen. Bob, American Beauty, congratulations!"

With the sound of music and warm applause, Alan walked onto the stage with a happy face. After taking over the statuette from Jin, he suppressed his excitement and began to make a speech: "Thank you to the Film Academy, thank you to my parents ,Thanks to my friends, and to everyone who should be thanked! When I conceived this script after seeing plastic bags flying in the wind in the World Trade Center, I didn't expect to stand here one day. It's so exciting, I Remember when Angela was not happy with the script and ranted on the phone, I love you guys, thank you, thank you so much!"

After the roar of laughter, there was warm applause, including Angela clapping her hands vigorously. It was not until Allen came down and walked by that he hummed: "Good speech, you can exaggerate and sensationalize a little more."

"Thank you, ma'am, if there is a next time, I will definitely, of course, if you still roar and laugh on the phone." Allen laughed and walked a few steps back to his seat.

"It seems that you don't care at all that you didn't get the best screenplay." Spacey on the left said suddenly.

"Even I know who to choose between "Never Compromise" and "American Beauty", not to mention the judges, it's a good thing to get it, but it's not a bad thing not to get it." Angela shrugged, following in her heart Added a sentence: I will get the best original screenplay, one day, with my own strength!

"It's you, who was nominated for Best Actor, do you want to bet on whether you will get it?" Angela asked suddenly.

"I'm sorry, I don't bet on this, everything depends on God's will." Spacey clasped ten fingers together.

Angela understood what he meant. All the nominees for Best Actor this year were outstanding, not to mention Tom Hanks' acting skills. After all, he won the best actor award in 93 and 94.Whether it's Edward Norton's performance in "American X-Files" or Sir Ian McKellen's performance in "Gods and Demons" who has not yet become "Gandalf", it is very eye-catching, not to mention Roberto ·Bernini's "Life is Beautiful" was written, directed and acted by myself.

In the face of so many and such outstanding competitors, it is obvious that it can only be arranged by God.

But in the eyes of Miss Genius, only Roberto Bernini can pose a threat.Hanks wins and loses again and again, unless there is a major breakthrough, the best actor should not be handed over to him; while Norton is good, but "American X-Files" is not as good as "American Beauty" in terms of conception, and Spacey has almost a decade more experience than Norton; as for Sir McKellen... the stingy film academy won't send best actor to a gay man.

Of course, guesses are just guesses, and the results have to be announced by the guests.

"The winner of the Best Actor is - "American Beauty", Kevin Spacey! Congratulations!" With the announcement of the last Best Actress winner Helen Hunt, the old god had been sitting in the seat Spacey immediately jumped up and clenched his hands into fists and waved vigorously, while Angela and the whole crew stood up and applauded together.

"Great, thank you." The excited Spacey hugged Annette, Chris and other actors respectively, and finally came to Angela and gave her a bear hug: "I love you, Angie!"

Angela couldn't help but pat him on the back to comfort him, and at the same time grinned in his stomach to comfort himself. The other party was just too excited and had no other meaning.

"I really didn't expect that after two years, I would lift the Oscar trophy again. The difference is that its name has changed, and it has been changed to Best Actor... To be honest, I don't know what I should say anymore. I want Thank you, thank you parents, thank you friends and Angela, God knows, I almost turned down the role, but she finally convinced me, thank you again, everyone!" Spacey raised the statuette and waved his hand vigorously, bowing slightly After a bow, he walked off the stage.

The entire crew shook hands with him again to congratulate him, while Angela glanced at Annette nearby, what will happen when the Best Actress is awarded later?

Naturally, there will be a lot of technical awards next, because the appearance of "American Beauty", "Never Compromise" and "The Matrix" should have been the confrontation between the two films "Saving Private Ryan" and "Shakespeare in Love" The 71st Oscar has turned into today's chaos. "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Matrix" shared visual and sound effects, while "Shakespeare in Love" shared makeup and costumes with another movie "Elizabeth". On to the best soundtrack.

Angela calculated the time and talked to the people around her, then got up and walked backstage. Next, she will present the Best Actress with Jack Nicholson, the last Best Actor.I have to say that the organizer is very good at finding gimmicks, and two of the five best actress nominations are closely related to me.

"Miss Angela, are you sure you want to go to the front like this, are you sure you don't want to change your clothes?" Nicholson, who was sitting next to him and doing the same touch-up makeup, couldn't help asking while the makeup artist was touching up his makeup.

"I don't think there is a rule that women are not allowed to wear women's suits on stage to present awards, right?" Angela smiled, and at the same time couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. It's just wearing a suit, so do you need to make a fuss?Obviously, the decision to release Oscar pigeons in the future was the right one.

"Of course not." Nicholson didn't see anything, "I just think that a beautiful woman like you would be more attractive in an evening dress. Although women's suits are also good, they are not suitable for... this kind of occasion .”

"Thank you for the compliment." Although she knew that the other party was complimenting her, Angela was not an "ordinary" woman after all. "But since I have already come to participate in the Oscars like this, then it's better to be a maverick."

Soon, everything was ready, Angela and Nicholson came to the exit next to the stage, and after the host Ubi announced that the best actress was about to be awarded, the two came out together.

Who can get Best Actress?It's hard to say, because of the early appearance of "American Beauty" and "Never Compromising", Julia and Annette accidentally squeezed out Fernand Montenago and Meryl Stry who were originally nominated Pu, and the only one left to compete with them is Emily Watson of "Cell Love".

Speaking of it, Oscar has a very bad habit in the selection of actresses. The more insane, crazy, and neurotic a female character is—in short, the less normal she is, the easier it is to win the favor of the judges. Especially in the selection of the best actress.Although this condition does not play a decisive role, it is undeniable that many people think that the more such roles are, the more they can test their acting skills. This is really not a good thing for female actors.

Well, let’s turn the topic back and look at the nomination list. Julia’s foul-mouthed single mother image is on par with Annette’s repressed and distorted image of a white-collar woman; although Blanchett’s performance in "Elizabeth" is commendable It's good, but it's still not as good as the two of them; as for Gwyneth, although she was the original queen of the 71st Best Actress Awards, this is also the point that has been blamed the most for this year's Oscars. "Beauty" and "Never Compromise" were awarded to Gwyneth when they appeared in advance, it can only be said that the minds of the judges were poured into a Pacific Ocean.

And Emily Watson's Jacqueline in "Cell Love" is sensitive and slender, but because the movie is based on the life of the famous cellist Ms. Jacqueline Dupre, it has been accepted by many musicians The accusation is completely inconsistent with the facts, so points may be deducted from this point of view.

But, again, you never know who the winner is until the last second.

"If I remember correctly, this should be my first time as an award presenter, but I suddenly realized that this might be a wrong decision." Looking at the audience below the stage, Angela suddenly said this.

"Why? Because of what you're wearing?" Nicholson asked with a smile, "It's very beautiful and outstanding, isn't it?"

It wasn't until Angela deliberately turned her head to look at him that the guy with the bald forehead shrugged: "Okay, anyway, you've already guessed it, so, who do you want to win the Best Actress?"

"I most want to—" Angela stopped suddenly after dragging her voice, then took a step to the side and looked up and down Jack Nicholson with suspicion and vigilance.

"Is there... any question?" Although Nicholson was puzzled, he still showed an innocent expression, which caused everyone to chuckle.

"Jack, you don't have anything hidden on your body, right? You won't get mad or jump into a rage after I answer, and you won't take out an ax from an unexpected place, right?" Angela asked seriously, and the audience immediately Laughter broke out.

Although Nicholson was a little dumbfounded, he still raised his hands: "Don't worry, I assure you that nothing you worry about will come true."

Then, after Angela pretended to be relieved, he immediately added: "In 80 years, I will not use the bulky thing like an axe, but replace it with something more compact."

There was another burst of laughter, and Angela immediately reached out and snatched the envelope from Nicholson and opened it: "Is it necessary to say so much? Let's just reveal it."

As soon as her eyes lit up, her lips curved into a charming arc. Obviously, the judges' heads were not filled with water. With this, it doesn't matter if the best picture competition fails.

"Never Compromise, Julia Roberts, Congratulations!"
