1045 Battle of the Dark Horse
"Countdown, five, four, three..." The voice of the staff came from his ears. Lance tidied up his suit, and then the voice introduced by Allen came from his impression, "Next, last year's winner of Best Supporting Actor, a great director, created countless miracles tonight, but he refused to believe that it was impossible between me and him. Let us welcome the unique Mr. Lancelot-Straello."
The music started, and before Lance could take a step, he could hear the applause gradually rising on the scene. He walked out quickly, but was surprised that this year's appearance channel was longer than expected. Lance had to speed up his pace a little, and then he saw the audience on the three floors in front of him appear in sight. The applause rose to a higher level again, and it was very lively.
When Lance stood in front of the microphone, the whistle and cheer mixed with applause. The entire Kodak Theater seemed to be in a storm. Such a hot welcome once again made people feel the powerful appeal of Lance; not just the award ceremony, but in the square next to the Kodak Theater, screams and shouts were overwhelming, and even the big screen in front of him began to tremble slightly.
Lance nodded with a smile and said, "When I was in the backstage, Jack Nicholson and Vice President Al Gore were drinking together. I, uh, I don't think he will compete for the president anymore." The audience burst into laughter. Next year is the year of elections, and election topics have begun to appear one after another this year. What's more, Al's attendance at the award ceremony itself has triggered countless discussions.
Lance paused for a moment, and after the laughter was slightly restrained, he continued, "Leo just asked me, from the supporting role to the protagonist, and all of them successfully won the Oscar nomination..." Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the applause and whistle at the scene. Lance smiled, "Yes, I know I'm excellent." This uncovered boastful boast once again sparked a laugh, "He asked me, what do you feel? I don't know how to answer, so he asked him back, saying it as if you remember how hard the supporting role was."
The laughter suddenly rang out, and the applause that followed was even more crazy. There were very few people who could play the leading role at the award ceremony tonight. The film industry always occupied the main market with supporting roles, but obviously, the supporting roles would never get the attention of the protagonists. Lance's words immediately received everyone's support.
More importantly, Lance also made Leonardo a big fuss. Leonardo won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1993 with his "Different Sky". Then, after his "All Eclipse Crazy Love" and "The Edge Diary" in 1995, he never played a supporting role again.
Leonardo had just returned to his seat - he had just joined forces with Al Gore to appeal for environmental charity - before he could come back to his senses, he was hit with a headless look, and his confused expression made the laughter on the scene unable to stop.
"Back to the point, I stand here to thank the supporting actresses who light up the big screen with their wonderful performances. The following are the nominees." Lance immediately entered the award ceremony, just a few words, but it was sharp and accurate, with wonderful performances but not overwhelming. His award ceremony work really shines.
The five nominees for Best Supporting Actress this year are Adriana Barraza and Rinko Kikuto, Jennifer Hudson of "Dream Chasing Girl", Abigil Bryslin of "Sunny Beauty", and Gisele Bundchen of "Rampant Road".
Just as everyone expected during the intermission, the second half will be the main competition stage. For "Walking in the Stop" and "Tower of the Sky", each award is crucial. They have lost the advantages of the technical department. If they cannot stand up in the main department, then the best film will gradually drift away. It is definitely not an easy task to copy the miracle of last year's "crash" and it also means that every time you miss an opportunity to win, the consequences may be fatal.
In the previous competition for the best supporting actor, "Walkward Walker" lost to "Sunshine Beauty", which was a heavy blow, because all the nomination departments of "Walkward Walker" and "Tower of Heaven" remained consistent. The only thing that was staggered was the supporting actor. One side had the advantage in the supporting actor, and the other side had the unique supporter role. Only by seizing the advantage in the supporting actor department can you gain the upper hand in the subsequent head-on battle. More importantly, the competitiveness of the "Rampage Road" in the supporting actor department is very weak.
However, this year's Best Supporting Actress Department is a bit special. The department has always liked to commend rookies, but Jennifer, Rinko Kikuji, Abigil and Giselle are all rookies. The so-called advantages and age advantages of new players can be ignored. What's more, the shortcomings of the five nominees this year are very obvious. Everyone can be said to be a dark horse, and the outcome is really hard to predict.
Adriena is fifty years old this year and is not young, but "Tower of Heaven" is just her second work - the first work is still from the same director's "Love is a bitch". It can be said that she is a typical representative of late-stage success and can also be regarded as a "newcomer". However, in addition to her age disadvantage, she is a pure Spanish-speaking actor. As we all know, although the college does not reject commendation of foreign language performances, not many people have won the Little Golden Man with foreign language performances in history.
Before starring in the "Tongtian Tower", Rinko Kikuchi had almost no outstanding works. She had been ups and downs in Japan for many years. This time she emerged as a deaf and mute girl, and she undoubtedly rose strongly. However, firstly, she is an Asian actor. As we all know, the suppression encountered by Asian actors in Hollywood is even more serious than that of black people. Secondly, her language disadvantages are really unable to become a powerful tool for canvassing in the public relations process of the academy. Connections are her fatal shortcomings.
Abigil is only twelve years old this year. She is really too young. Even if the Best Supporting Actress Department likes to commend young rookies, it is too incredible to be twelve years old and it will take at least a few more years to polish. People always think that young people will win nominations now, and there will naturally be countless opportunities in the future.
From this point of view, this war mainly revolves around Jennifer and Giselle. First, the two are only one year apart in age. Jennifer is one year younger than Giselle; secondly, these are both big-screen debuts of the two, and neither of them are professional actors. The former is from the "American Idol" talent show, while the latter is from a professional model. The shortcomings of both of them are very obvious and very similar - they are both idol non-professionals that the academy dislikes the most.
At the same time, the advantages of both of them are also very distinct. In "Dream Chasing Girl", Jennifer played the role that suits her best in "Raging Road", and played to her strengths and avoided her weaknesses, which really amazed the big screen. Perhaps, they are not outstanding actors - but neither of the other three competitors, but they have indeed contributed a commendable performance.
So, in the final analysis, whether to choose Jennifer or Giselle depends on the judges' decision. Or, avoid these two candidates and choose other candidates?
This is indeed a rare sight. The five candidates for Best Supporting Actress can be said to be completely novice, and they can also be said to be non-professional. Everyone's nominations are unpopular, but they are also popular. Anyone can win, anyone can laugh at the end of this dark horse battle, and any result is possible. During the entire awards season, Jennifer, the "Dream Chasing Girl", has a slight advantage, but referring to the ending of Eddie Murphy, who has a greater advantage in the awards season, the Oscar's belonging to the Little Golden Man has also added more suspense.
"The Walker of the Insular" and "Tongtian Tower" both lost to the "Sunny Little Beauty" in the Best Supporting Actor Department. So what about the Best Supporting Actress? What's more, this little golden man is likely to become a watershed to influence the subsequent direction of the award ceremony, and the expectations are even higher.
However, Lance did not hesitate at all, and had no intention of creating suspense. He directly tore open the envelope in his hand, pulled out the card, looked down, and a playful expression flashed in his eyes. The choice of the judges of the college was really interesting. "The winner of the 79th Academy Awards is..." After only a slight pause, Lance ended the torment of people waiting, "Gisel Bundchen, 'Road of Furious'."
The scene was actually frozen in an instant. In this melee, the result was really...it's really...it's not known how to react! This dark horse battle ended with the "Raging Road". Giselle won the most important trophy in his career as a model, replicating the rise of Jin Basinger and Charlize Theron!
The guests at the scene were stunned and applauded in surprise. The result can be said to be no surprise, but it was another huge surprise. The supporting actress department, who defeated the entire line tonight, performed strongly throughout the awards season, once again continued its poor performance and truly fell apart; the defeat of the double nomination of "Tongtian Tower" is shocking and also sad - but at least, "Tongtian Tower" and "Walkward Walker" have returned to the same starting line; what is even more incredible is that the "Raging Road" continues its strength again!
In the last life, Jennifer Hudson's victory wrote the incredible American dream; in this life, Gisel Bundchen's rise not only proved the magic and dream of Hollywood, but also proved Lance's outstanding training ability as a director. The "Raging Road" engulfed the eighth little golden man in his pocket! It seemed that quietly, the "Tower of Heaven" and "The Walker of the Infinite Strong" had been shocked by such a devastating force, and even the idea of fighting back was suppressed.
Chapter completed!
