The Greatest Showman - Chapter 2371

[2334 continues to heat up]

“Wow, am I the only one feeling the heat? I’m starting to miss my bathrobe.” When Neil Patrick Harris took the stage again, he hinted that the Dolby Theater was going on with a light quip. Warming up the tension, even as a host, he is no exception.

“The next one is bound to be a high-profile Oscar moment, let’s invite, Scarlett Johansson!”

Scarlett, wearing an emerald green long skirt, stepped onto the stage amid applause from the audience. “Fifty years ago, Beatle mania swept the country, America was mired in the Vietnam War, Dr. Martin Luther King marched from Selma to Montgomery, and, on March 2, at the Rivoli Theater in New York , people heard the question for the first time, ‘what should we do with Mary’.”

“An optimistic and kind nun trainee, standing on the top of a mountain, showing people her beautiful voice, this film is of course ‘music’ The Voice’. We have no choice but to fall in love with Maria. Produced by Twentieth Century Fox, directed by Robert-wise, starring Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer,’ The Sound of Music’ won five Oscars, including Best Picture.”

“It was undoubtedly a box-office blockbuster at the time, but then, it gradually became a film history classic.”

Scarlett Johansson officially introduced “The Sound of Music” sound”, which is also one of the important parts of the Oscars tonight.

After playing the classic clip of the movie, Scarlett invited tonight’s special guest: Miss Gaga.

As a pop queen, Miss Gaga was born in dance music, but many people ignore her musical literacy and profound knowledge because of her exaggerated fashion style. In fact, her musical attainment is very good, and she later released a jazz album; Combining traditional bel canto with modern interpretation, the soundtrack of the movie “The Sound of Music” was re-interpreted, which can definitely be said to amaze the audience.

At the end of the performance, Miss Gaga won a standing ovation from the audience. This is the second time tonight since the “Glory” live performance.

Then, Miss Gaga officially invited Julie Andrews to the stage, and the applause of the Dolby Theater reached a new height.

Edith, who was standing beside Renly, stared at the stage with tears in her eyes, unable to restrain her excitement and excitement, and clapped attentively and earnestly. Everyone has their own softness in their hearts, just like the nanny Denise- Like Edith, Stevens, once “The Sound of Music” and “Mary Poppins,” has irreplaceable significance to her.

Seemingly aware of Renly’s sight, Edith turned her head, and then saw the gentle smile on Renly’s face, and there was a slight joking and ridicule in her eyes, just like Renly’s usual style, she

seemed to be making fun of Edith’s embarrassment. , which made Edith chuckle.

Bathed in applause from the audience, Julie expressed her gratitude and expressed her simple thoughts, and then she was in charge of presenting the two trophies in the script department.

Slightly unexpectedly, the more competitive Best Original Screenplay Award was awarded first.

“Boyhood”, “Birdman”, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, “Fox Hunter”, “Nightcrawler”, this is the final list of nominees.

Compared with the adaptation of the script, the original department gathered three popular seeded players, as well as the strongest among the unseeded players “Fox Hunter”, and even the script of “Nightcrawler” also won a lot during the awards season. The affirmation of the award has also made the competition more and more fierce, which can be called a bayonet.

Previously, above the Writers Guild of America Awards, the final work that reached the top was “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, which is also generally considered to be the key to the film, because of the lack of competitiveness in the actor department, if the “Grand Budapest Hotel” wants to continue to maintain Competitiveness, then the best original screenplay cannot be lost; on the contrary, once it is missed, it will break the balance, and the negative impact brought by Scott Rudin will explode.

In other words, this is the second inflection point after the Best Editing Award, but I did not expect that the Academy chose to be the first to award the Best Original Screenplay Award. Could it be that the rumors within the Academy have changed the wind direction?

So, is it a positive or negative change towards the “Grand Budapest Hotel”?

Julie Andrews opened the golden envelope in her hand, glanced down, and then pulled the envelope a little further to make sure she could read the font clearly, “The winner of the 87th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay is …’Birdman’.” Then came a long list of screenwriters’ names. Unlike other works, “Birdman” was co-written by four Mexican-American screenwriters. The super-long and super-long name really embarrassed Julie.

The first accident finally appeared. Just as the awards ceremony entered the final sprint stage

, “The Grand Budapest Hotel”, which was determined to win the Best Original Screenplay Award, was kicked out. Overtaking the “Grand Budapest Hotel” and defeating “Boyhood”, in addition to winning the second golden statue tonight, he firmly took the initiative.

The most amazing thing is that “Birdman” didn’t even win a Writers Guild of America nomination!

This is definitely an accident, amazing and explosive!

The power of the academy’s public relations in the second stage is gradually showing its prominence.

The applause of the audience was filled with a bit of ambiguous eyes, and it was impossible to tell whether it was schadenfreude or regret. For Scott Rudin, it was one thing; but for Wes Anderson and the “Grand Budapest Hotel” crew , that is another matter:

the previous four consecutive wins made people think that this work is still a big hit tonight, and the impact of the hacking incident seems to have never happened; but when it came to the real critical moment, it was the first to lose The chain is still the “Grand Budapest Hotel”, continuing the decline since the second stage.

“The Grand Budapest Hotel” is generally considered to be the masterpiece of Wes Anderson. Wes, whose main style is small, fresh and multi-colored, is the first and probably the only time he can make a difference on the Oscar. , and the chances are very, very large; the result just dissipates.

In the look at each other on the scene, Harvey Weinstein is the old god, not only is there not the slightest nervousness and surprise, but also enjoys it.

When Harvey makes a decision, he knows that the “imitation game” has basically been missed. It is the best film. The four leading works this year are all too special. Even “Selma Parade” has been out early, and the stable “Imitation Game” is difficult to rely on the topic of homosexuality. “It’s still a little warm.

But Harvey doesn’t care, because the most important thing is the best actor, and all other situations can stand aside, which is the top priority this year.

Therefore, at this moment, Harvey can completely relax as a bystander, watching the melee in front of him, not only without regrets but also a little gloating. The longer the suspense remains, the more interesting things will be.

After waiting for the acceptance speech, the mood of the guests on the spot was mobilized. Since the academy has moved up the position of the best original script, a slight upset has occurred; then, does this mean that the judges Feeling the wind, will the best adapted screenplay explode?

The list of nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay pales in comparison to the nominees for Best Original Screenplay.

“The Imitation Game”, “The Theory of Everything”, “Boom Drummer”, “American Sniper”, “Sex/Inherent Evil”.

Throughout the awards season, the adapted script department has never been able to form a stable lineup. For example, among the top five nominations of the Writers Guild of America, there are even nominations such as “Guardians of the Galaxy”, “Gone Lover” and “Into the Wild”. , and then it was all brushed off when it reached the Oscars; similar changes appeared on the major outposts, and even the Oscar nominees could not be determined, which also added more suspense to the script adaptation department.

Overall, “The Imitation Game” and “Drummer” are the two most consistent works, with nominations for important outposts almost all included, the only doubt is, because Damien Chazelle once shot a short film of the same name from This, I promote, also makes it possible to define whether or not the screenplay of “The Cracking Drummer” is an original or an adaptation, which varies from society to society, which also causes its nominations to move back and forth between the original and the adaptation.

Of course, when it finally came to the Oscars, “Boom Drummer” was still divided into the adaptation department.

It is precisely because of this that the performance of “The Imitation Game” in major outposts is more stable and better. Not only did it easily reach the top of the Writers Guild of America Award, but “Boom Drummer” was assigned to the original department and lost to “The Grand Budapest Hotel” , and on top of the Golden Globe Awards, which does not distinguish between adaptations and originals, it squeezed out “Booming Drummer” as the only adaptation among the top five nominated works.

Naturally, “The Imitation Game” was the number one favorite for best adapted screenplay.

If it is only a theoretical level, “The Imitation Game” also hopes to be able to impact on top of the best film, then the best adapted screenplay must win the award; and if “The Imitation Game” has no ambition for the best film, then Best Adapted Screenplay is also the only award they can compete for.

From any point of view, this is very important.

Bob Weinstein was a little uneasy, after all, it was related to the efforts of Weinstein Pictures throughout the awards season; but when he turned his head, he saw that Harvey was indifferent to the choice, and Harvey was the real heroic demeanor. , Bob couldn’t help sighing inwardly, he didn’t know if he still cared about this award.

Just as Bob was distracted, Julie on stage had announced the winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

“‘Brummer,’ Damien Chazelle.”

A second surprise followed.

boom!

Boom!

All the guests were sensational, screams and cheers were everywhere. Damien, who was the first to be nominated for the top spot, could not even find anyone to invest in the production of “Boom Drummer”, but now, he officially Crown the Golden Man’s Crown!
