1042 The beginning of the upset

The bar is full of people, and even the standing area next to the bar is filled with stuffed. The walls around are hung with posters of five works: "Tower of the Sky", "Walker in the Storm", "Rampant Road", "Sunny Beauty" and "Queen" which are particularly conspicuous. The blank space in the middle is covered with Polaroid photos, each representing a nominee; on the bar is a pyramid filled with beer glasses in the shape of a small golden man, and the grand occasion of the award ceremony is live on the four large screens in front of it. The rich party atmosphere is filled with every corner of the bar.

However, no one in the bar was making a loud noise at this time, but there were endless discussions. You could truly feel that everyone was participating in this feast.

Matt Irving sat at the bar counter, put down the empty wine glass, signaled the bartender to refill the glass, and then raised his eyes again to look at the big screen. The expectation and anxiety in his eyes revealed his nervousness at the moment. "So, who do you think about?" The bartender's voice came. Matt's reaction was half a beat slower, but Isabel Irving, who was sitting next to him, took over the conversation, "He unconditionally supports the 'Rampant Road'."

Matt then came to his senses and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I like Lancelot-Stralo, I like every piece of his work." Then he printed a kiss on his wife's cheek, "You also said, who did you go to the cinema with me to watch the 'Rampant Road' six times?"

Isabel shrugged, "I admit I'm guilty."

This made the bartender laugh happily, "I'm optimistic about the 'Walking Walker', it should be Scorsis' turn this year." But before the words were completely finished, the person on the other side of the bar shouted, "Eddie Murphy! This is Eddie Murphy's moment." The whole bar burst into laughter, and many people slapped the table to cheer for Eddie. It can be seen that as a top black comedian, Eddie has really many supporters.

At this moment, everyone in North America has turned their attention to tonight's Oscars. This is the only focus of the night. More than 48 million people sat in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast of the evening party, easily surpassing the grand event when "The Lord of the Rings 3" topped three years ago, becoming the second only to the "Titanic" sweeping thousands of troops in March 1998. Moreover, with the momentum of "Raging Road" sweeping awards, the number of viewers is still rising.

Among them, the family ratings reached a gratifying 30%, and the ratings from the age of 18 to 49 were even more incredible to reach 18.9! Just make a comparison and you will know how incredible this set of data is. Last year, the "Crash" won the Best Picture Festival, with only 38 million viewers, and the family ratings are only 22%. This year, it can definitely be said to have made a qualitative leap, which has improved a large step, and clearly felt people's expectations and attention for this year's Oscars.

This reminds people of the most popular Oscar event in history. The champion of the number of viewers was undoubtedly the year when the "Titanic" won the championship. The 55 million viewers are still unmatched; the highest family ratings was the 42nd Oscar. In that year, "Midnight Niu/Lang" created history, and 43% of the families watched the live broadcast. The former is the peak of commercial films, and the latter is the breakthrough of the Oscars. So what about tonight?

"Michael! Michael! Michael!"

On the square to the right of Kodak Theater, the big screen was broadcasting the party in a synchronous manner. Emerson Carter clenched his right hand into a fist, waving neatly and vigorously, cheering for Michael Fassbender. Lily Carter, Andy Isaac, Chloe Moore and others who were sitting next to him exchanged excitement, and then began to call in a low voice, as if as long as their sincerity was enough, they could decide the award results.

Emerson looked at the friends around him, his face filled with bright smiles and his heart was surging.

Tonight, they organized a total of 600 fans from all over North America to come to Los Angeles in person to support Lance. Not only to support the Oscar journey of "Raging Road", but also to express their admiration and admiration for Lance. They believe that Lance should receive more recognition than now. Whether it is nominated for the Best Director or the Best Film for four consecutive years, it is not enough to make people feel Lance's excellence... and greatness.

It was absolutely impossible for them to enter the Kodak Theater to watch the ceremony close. So they simply gave up the idea of ​​entering the infield and stayed outside together, united and expressed their support for Lance with practical actions. Regardless of winning the Oscar, Lance was their inner winner - of course, it would be better to be able to get the academy, peers, and professionals. They didn't want Lance to regret for life like Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick.

"Michael! Michael!" Emerson did not shout loudly, but lowered his voice to show his strength. The light and powerful support became faster and faster, as if it condensed everyone's enthusiasm into a rope. At this moment, they were all one, and because of Reims, they gathered from all over the world!

Compared with the nervousness and liveliness of the audience in front of the TV, the atmosphere at the scene seemed a bit dull, because every guest could not express the tension in his heart, so he could only clench his fists, control, and then control the extremely tight muscles had begun to feel a slight soreness. The sound of blood flowing, the sound of sweat slipping, the sound of pores breathing, and the sound of heart impact were amplified bit by bit, and the suffocation made the air condense.

This is just the best supporting actor award.

Rachel, standing on the stage, also felt this solemn atmosphere. The burning and dryness landed on the surface of her skin. Even her heartbeat rhythm began to speed up. After a simple word-song, short videos of five candidates began to be played on the big screen, and Rachel relaxed a little.

Alan Akin of the "Little Sunshine Beauty", Germain Hansu of the "Blood Diamond", Mark Wahlberg of the "Walkward"; Eddie Murphy of the "Dream Chasing Girl", Michael Fassbender of the "Raging Road".

According to previous years, the best supporting actor department has always been a respectful unit for the elderly. This year's five nominees cover three generations of old, middle-aged and young people. Germain and Eddie are both in their early forties, while Mark and Michael are under 35 years old. Alan, 72 years old this year, is the leader in age. But objectively speaking, Alan was not showing off during the awards season, and was not even shortlisted for the last five Golden Globes. He had already made a big fuss when he won the Oscar nomination. Therefore, Eddie and Mark, who received numerous praises in the awards season, are still the biggest candidates.

It is worth mentioning that the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award at the American Actors Association Awards is Eddie Murphy.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense again. Michael, who appeared in the live broadcast for the first time, looked extremely awkward, and could not even squeeze out his smile. He had a dazed expression on his face, and his whole body was filled with nervousness, which could not be concealed at all, which made people laugh.

Rachel tore open the envelope and looked down at the card, "The winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor is..." Rachel paused for a moment, glanced at the winner's name again, and then said to the microphone, "Alan Ajin, 'Sunny Beauty'."

After the answer came out, the scene was frozen for a moment, and even all the viewers in front of the TV were stunned, with a look of confusion. Unpopularity, Oscar actually made an unpopularity again!

Eddie, who swept through the entire awards ceremony, won the prizes, was overtaken by Allen, who was "nominated in only a handful of nominations" at the last moment! Allen, who had won two nominations for the best actor in the 1960s, unexpectedly won his first little golden man with a dark horse work like "Sunny Little Beauty"! The "Raging Road" that swept through thousands of troops could not continue its strength. Although this was a long-awaited result, Michael was indeed not competitive in the supporting actor department, but it was still a bit shocking to announce the end of the monopoly so early! The winning result of the American Actors Union was overturned again, which was the sixth consecutive year that there was a deviation. After last year, the best supporting actor department was upset for the second consecutive year! "Rampant Road", "Walkward", "Dream Chaser Girl", and "Blood Diamond" four works that were shocked by the sketch "Sunny Little Beauty"!

The momentum of "Sunny Little Beauty" suddenly became bullish.

Michael relaxed and let out a long breath, but instead showed a relieved expression; the disappointment between Eddie's eyebrows could hardly be concealed. He tried hard to outline a smile, but failed. In the end, he simply expressed his helplessness. The regret at the corner of his mouth made people sigh...

Allen was stunned for a moment, then showed a decent smile and walked onto the stage. The guests at the scene came to their senses, with a little hesitation in the applause, but it still rang, and then gradually began to grow - not only because of the result that they voted for, but also because of the high reputation of Ellende, the first Little Golden Man, who won the third Oscar nomination, was completely deserved, and it also once again fits the Oscar-respecting tradition of respecting the elderly. This should not be unexpected.

But Eddie Murphy...

The light of his eyes fell on Eddie more or less uncontrollably. Almost everyone thought Eddie was already sure to win, and almost the entire awards ceremony season swept through with a strong attitude. Who knew that he was actually upset tonight. So, what does this mean? It means that "The Invisible Walker" or "Tower of the Sky" may be upset, or does it mean that the academy refuses to innovate, and the prospect of "Rampant Road" is worrying?

Guess, suspense, nervousness, curiosity, expectation... Countless emotions began to surge. Tonight seemed to be too many, so it was dazzling. Before one-third of the award ceremony had passed, the tense atmosphere almost stopped beating.
