The next thing to be awarded is the Oscar Technology Award. Three weeks ago, some technology awards were awarded at a hotel in Beverly Hills. The winner can choose from the menu whether to eat beef or eel...

The presenters were Schwarzenegger's partner, Jamie Lee Curtis and Tom Hanks' on-screen love interest Diane Lane."

David Letterman started his tasteless jokes again. Ronald experienced it several times and finally understood that those tasteful jokes were the work of screenwriters, and these seemed like jokes told by blue-collar workers.

That's Letterman's normal performance.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

There was a helicopter prop on the stage, and the sound of the rotating propellers played in the speakers. Jamie Lee Curtis grabbed the landing gear of the helicopter prop with one hand and fell from the sky.

This was a reenactment of her scene in True Lies. Ronald was full of respect for the actress who starred in this scene, and he stood up and applauded with everyone.

In contrast, Diane was much more comfortable. She was waiting on the court in her dress for Curtis to come down. After the two met, they would introduce the Science and Technology Awards together.

"A few weeks ago, Diane and I had the pleasure of hosting an awards show and dinner to honor the technology community's outstanding contributions to film." Jamie Lee Curtis wore a similar black suit as in True Lies

Qun, and Diane are a bit like sisters.

"This was a very good party, I must say it was much more fun than today..." Diane's line made the audience laugh, which was equivalent to replying to Letterman's joke.

Ronald guessed that this was probably Diane's improvisation because he didn't know that Letterman would make such a joke.

After the audience finished laughing, Curtis continued, "Yes, there is a big difference between the two dinner parties..."

"Unlike tonight's awards show, at that awards show we clearly knew what contributions the award-winners had made to Hollywood. The various images and sounds we see on the screen today are all the result of their inventions." Diane

I seem to have a very good rapport with Curtis, he talks quickly without wasting time, and it's very interesting.

"Yes, we only selected two items today to represent all the winners. We thank them for their great contribution to the film. We also awarded them the highest honor in the industry, the Oscar..."

The last thing that was broadcast on TV was the scene of Lao Yan and another pair of people who invented the blue screen shooting and keying technology, and they got the statuette. Interestingly, they were also a father and son team. Finally, a thirty-year-old video was played.

Seconds, recently used lightning lights and blue screens to shoot and edit the movie.

This inserted video has unexpectedly good effects. Especially the wonderful editing at the end. Many viewers in front of the TV were exclaiming. It turns out that the lightning in Jurassic Park is the same as the lightning in Forrest Gump and many celebrities.

This is how the interactive scenes were shot.

ABC's customer service center also received many calls, asking if there was a documentary broadcast detailing the shooting of this kind of special effects.

…

The Oscar awards are in the middle, and many honorary awards have begun to be inserted. After being talked about by Letterman all night, Oprah finally had the opportunity to go on stage to show off her newly lost weight figure and the matching dress.

What she went to present was the Jane Hersolt Humanitarian Award. This is an honorary memorial award, which means it is not awarded every year. It must be unanimously voted by the executive committee of the college before it is awarded.

Jane Hersholt served as president of the Film Relief Foundation for 18 years, which provides humanitarian relief to those in the film and television industry who have suffered misfortunes.

There is also a home for the elderly under this foundation, which is dedicated to taking in retired elderly people who are childless and lonely in the film and television industry. Therefore, if you want to win this award, you must make some achievements in humanitarian causes.

Of course, this is just a title. Just like if you want to award an honorary Oscar to a black person, you cannot directly say that the reason is for the black person. Instead, you have to turn around and say that the black person has done a lot of humanitarian work.

the cause of doctrine.

In her introduction to the awards, Oprah said that the award had already been awarded to more than a dozen actors, half a dozen producers, seven studio executives, and one screenwriter and director, and this year it would finally be awarded to one.

A musician.

The winner announced by Oprah is Quincy Jones, a famous soundtrack master in the film industry and a famous black music producer and musician.

This speech was so smooth. It was obvious that Oprah had prepared it for a long time, but Ronald heard another meaning below.

Since this award was first established in 1956, it has been awarded to 26 white people. Today it is finally the turn of a black person.

"Wow, wow, wow..." Ronald applauded with everyone, and while applauding, he was smiling and nodding. Oprah's little thought was indeed a very clever arrangement. He did not mention a word about black people.

It's something, but most of the viewers at the scene and in front of the TV will probably think of it.

Quincy Jones's very formal, but lengthy and boring speech was finally finished. The next thing to be awarded was the Best Cinematography Award, which Forrest Gump was also nominated with several major competitors.

The Shawshank Redemption, Days of Love, and Red, Blue, and White trilogy were all nominated. Only Pulp Fiction was not nominated for Best Cinematography. This is also natural, as Quentin's directorial ability is not enough to form a

My own photography style, this movie doesn’t have much stylization in photography that people appreciate.

The award guest was Paul Newman. He made some mistakes when announcing the nominations. He was not given a small monitor to see what was being played. He only read out Forrest Gump and won the nomination.

For the next four movies, he did not read out the names of the nominated movies and the nominees.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Paul Newman looks very old this year. In addition to his gray hair, his skin and gait also show obvious signs of aging. This may also be him.

I didn’t realize the reason why the video introduction of the nomination for Forrest Gump has ended.

Fortunately, Paul Newman is a veteran star who has been on the battlefield for a long time, and he is also a handsome guy who has never aged in the hearts of many moviegoers in America. He resolved the embarrassment with a smile.

"Do you want me to go back and read the title again? Oh, forget it, I won't read it again. The Oscar winner for Best Cinematography is: John Tolle, Days of Love."

Ronald felt very sorry that Forrest Gump didn't win any of the minor awards today, except for Walter Murch's Best Editing award. However, there was one thing that could be comforting, even the main competitor Pulp Fiction didn't win.

Get it.

These awards represent most of the judges' perceptions of the movie. If Pulp Fiction wins a few such awards, it means that they have a good impression of the movie. If that is the case, Ronald, in my heart

I started to worry about whether there would really be an upset tonight.

Things continued to go south, with awards for Best Production Design and Best Set Design. Forrest Gump was also nominated. Polly Platt, Ronald's favorite production designer, and Nancy

Heihe, the woman in charge of the set, was also nominated.

The award was announced by Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. Tim Robbins has gained a lot of weight recently, and his gray hair and very ill-fitting suit make him look older.

, almost like Susan Sarandon in a sexy dress.

Finally, Ken Adam, the artistic director of the Mad King George crew from Britain, won this award.

This can be considered the good news among the bad news, because the winners of these minor technical and artistic awards are very scattered and not concentrated in one movie.

There are several relatively closely related awards, such as Best Film, Best Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor and Actor. The probability of these awards falling to one or two films is

Relatively large.

The reason is that these are some of the most important factors for an excellent movie. Especially the best photography, best editing, best director, and best script. The finished film is very beautiful and artistic.

But it is very difficult to distinguish between these awards and who has made the greatest contribution to the completion of the film.

And the situation of each crew is different. In some crews, the director will control everything. He will let the director of photography shoot the picture he wants, let the screenwriter modify the script to what he needs, and let the editor cut out what he needs.

Completed film.

Some directors are more democratic. They will respect the professional ideas of the director of photography and the editor...

Therefore, as an outsider judge, it is difficult to explain whether in a specific movie, it is the screenwriter, cinematography, or director who creates the look of the final film.

The final effect of this is that when these judges vote for these awards, the final results will converge.

"In Hollywood, nothing is impossible. Especially with the hard work of the special effects teams working hard in the special effects studios and imaging laboratories, this year's three films nominated for Best Special Effects Cinematography are the best showcase.

.

They are a joint creation of disguised geeks, engineers and artists, making Jim Carrey's eyes pop out exaggeratedly; in Forrest Gump, they did not choose to cut off Gary Sinise's legs with surgery but used computer special effects.

When it comes to amputation surgery; and true lies, Schwarzenegger can fight life and death with bad guys on a high-altitude fighter jet..."

It's time to award the Best Visual Effects award.

If it can be explained that the award for Best Director of Photography was lost to the passionate years shot with traditional photography methods, then the award for Best Visual Effects is a very important indicator.

Two of the three nominated films, True Lies and The Man in Disguise, were not nominated for many other important awards. And Forrest Gump, which did not win the Best Cinematography Award, would have won it in the Best Visual Effects category.

In terms of awards, it means that the vast majority of judges still recognized Forrest Gump on this point.

After all, there are a lot of special effects in Forrest Gump, and the other two nominated films, The Man in Disguise and True Lies, are no less impressive. They both broke through the shackles of the past in some places, and the audience has never seen them before.

A visual spectacle that I have seen.

To a certain extent, this award has a similar effect to these three films as the traditional film Best Cinematography Award.

There were not many people at the awards show with thousands of people who understood these key points. Apart from Ronald, only Spielberg, George Lucas and his biggest competitor Harvey Weinstein did.

Understand the key here. So before this award was announced, many people were very nervous. Harvey, who was sitting not far away, was constantly looking at Ronald's expression.

The person who announced this award was action star Stallone. He and Schwarzenegger have been the two most fiercely competitive stars in the field of action movies since the 1980s. Many people saw this scene and had some thoughts. Could it be that the winner was

A true lie?

"Oscars go to... Van Fleet, Stephen Rosenbaum,... Forrest Gump"

"Hahaha..." Ronald laughed. If this award is given, the next thing will be smoother.

Several award winners were sitting in inconvenient seats near the front. They all had to pass in front of Ronald and squeeze to the front to receive their awards.

Ronald simply pulled Diane to stand up, made room for them, and hugged them one by one. He knew that this scene would be broadcast live, and his character of respecting talents became even stronger.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! When Ronald gave up his seat to them, he also saw the face of Harvey Weinstein who was sitting across the aisle. Harvey

There was a helpless smile on his face, and he shook his head slowly and clapped to signal Ronald.

His subtext seemed to be that I gave up on all this, it was not my time. Ronald nodded slightly proudly and glanced at Harvey, as if accepting his surrender.

"Have we all failed?" Harvey's brother Bob whispered.

"The winner hasn't been decided yet. I think we have a chance." Harvey replied to his brother. The gesture was made, but who can say that winning the award is certain? It has happened in the past few years.

The matter of dividing the apples and awarding the Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay to different films is not impossible until the last minute.

"You seem to be very happy. Is the next award guaranteed?" Diane also asked Ronald over there.

"Only two people at the awards night today know the results, and they are the two partners from the accounting firm PricewaterhouseCoopers."

Ronald said this, but he still had very high expectations in his heart. If some shocking dark horse didn't appear, he would be able to realize his dream.

The following awards were uneventful, and they had nothing to do with Forrest Gump and Pulp Fiction. The awards for Best Original Film Episode and Best Soundtrack were both taken away by Disney's animated film The Lion King.

Hans Zimmer and Elton John won the two statuettes respectively. This is also the winner that no one expected. Who can sing "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" duet with Simba and Nala this year?

To compete?

The next Best Foreign Language Film was awarded to Russia's "Poisonous Sun". This is also the first Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film that this country has won in this name. The film also won the Cannes Jury Prize.

Ang Lee's Food, Drink, and Drink did not enter the main competition at Cannes and lost to Nikita Mikhalkov twice, so we can only place our hopes in the future.
