The development of the award ceremony tonight really caught people off guard. First, he witnessed the sweeping feat of "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: The Return of the King", and then witnessed the unexpected killing of two awards in a row in "City of God". Such a brilliant direction also added a suspense to the rest of the award ceremony: how many surprises are worth looking forward to.

"Wow" problem just emerged, and unexpectedly appeared on the stage. Francesford Coppola actually appeared hand in hand with Sofia Coppola. There is no doubt that this is the most popular father-daughter series this year's awards season. The prophecy that like father and daughter has been confirmed tonight. Now that the two of them are on stage together, it can definitely be said to be the most topical group in the awards group tonight, and it even made the guests on the scene stand up one after another, not only to Frances but also to Sofia.

More importantly, the award for Best Adapted Screenplay by Coppola and his daughter

Only then did people realize that tonight's Best Original Script Award belonged to "Lost Tokyo", but the Best Adapted Script Award was still not announced. Now, Sofia, who won the Best Original Script Award, joined forces with her famous father to award the Best Adapted Script Award. This is really a very meaningful situation.

"The Lord of the Rings Trilogy: Return of the King", "Glory America", "City of God", "Mysterious River" and "Rushing Age", these are the last five competitions for the best adapted script this year. However, the competition for this year's Best Adapted Screenplay Award is unprecedentedly fierce, and it is even widely regarded as the most suspenseful Oscar award. The reason is that the five nominees are close in strength. It is not surprising that no one laughs the last time in a melee.

There is no dispute about the absolute advantage of "Return of the King" in the technical department, but as an epic masterpiece mainly based on scenes and special effects, its script is indeed not a strong point. The character portrayal and plot structure are lacking in quality, the story rhythm is slightly slow, and the overall quality is inferior to the first part of the series. Just like the "Titanic" back then, it did not even get a nomination for the script department.

"Return of the King" has an absolute advantage in the entire awards season, but the nominations for scripts are as weak as those of acting. First, they missed the top five nominations for the Golden Globes, and then were ignored by the American Screenwriters Union Award. If the script department of the Golden Globes does not distinguish between originality and adaptation, the competition for the top five is even more intense, and it is understandable that the failure of the American Screenwriters Union Awards is that the failure of the American Screenwriters Union Award shows a clear trend, and this work does lacks highlights in the script.

Therefore, people more believe that "Return of the King" will sweep the awards of the technical department like "Titanic". However, after the acting and script departments were all lost, they finally won the Best Director and Best Film. However, after the Oscar nomination list came out, "Return of the King" unexpectedly occupied a place in the adaptation department, causing a big and small unpopularity, and also added suspense tonight's award trend.

Compared with the momentum of "The King Return", the absolute strength of the other four semi-finals has been recognized.

The "Penting Age" was a runner-up player throughout the awards ceremony, but it was nominated for almost all scripts except the Golden Globe Awards. Even if it was a runner, it was a powerful runner-up player. There is no need to say "Mysterious River" naturally, the thickness and depth of the script were praised unanimously. It is also the script with the most nominations, and it can be regarded as a popular favorite for the best adapted script.

"Share America" ​​has received many praises since the Sundance Film Festival. Rumors say that when the judges selected the screenwriter award, the competition between "Spirit Station" and "Share America" ​​was very fierce. In the end, the latter was defeated by just one vote, which shows the recognition of this work. After missing the Golden Globe Awards, it is worthy of being shortlisted for the Oscar.

The recognition won by "City of God" during the awards season is undoubtedly legendary. It was unknown in the first half of the awards season, but after entering 2004, it gradually rose with the preview pace. It first won the highest recognition of the American Editors' Union, and then captured the American Screenwriters' Union Award. The highest awards for the original script and adapted script of the American Screenwriters' Union Award were awarded to "Lost Tokyo" and "City of God" respectively.

Finally, at the Spirit Awards held the day before the Oscar, "City of God" made a counterattack and grabbed the Best Screenplay Award from "Lost Tokyo". "Lost Tokyo" won three awards, Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actor, but failed the most important script awards and lost to "City of God".

All of this makes the Best Adapted Screenplay award full of suspense. Not to mention, three of the five nominees were shortlisted for the Best Picture Competition, and their overall strength was recognized.

In terms of objective quality, the reputation won by "Mysterious River" and "City of God" during the awards season is undoubtedly the most solid and heavy. But this is the Oscar, which is a collective vote by more than 6,000 judges of students. The award trend is unpredictable, and even the "Pengxing Era" that is considered to be destined to accompany the runners, there is still a possibility of winning.

It is really interesting to have Francis and Sophia awarded the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. Is it really interesting to see the Coppola family protecting the surprise victory of "The King" and witnessing Peter Jackson's title tonight's title or to hope that the Coppola father and daughter will resist the "The King's Return" fanatics and award the award to truly outstanding works

No matter what the possibility is, it is a great honor for Francis and Sophia as award presenters.

At the same time, the suspense has returned to the Kodak Theater's ownership of not only the best adapted script is a huge suspense. It is even more shocking suspense whether the feat of "Return of the King" winning rate can be continued.

In fact, when the award ceremony is here, the suspense of the Best Picture and Best Director has basically been suffocated. If nothing unexpected happens, the "Return of the King" who has won nine Little Golden Men will also be able to win these two trophies. Otherwise, this will become the biggest joke in Oscar history. The works that won the most Little Golden Men are not the winner of the Best Picture. Therefore, if step by step, "Return of the King" will win at least eleven Little Golden Men to tie the award records of "Ben Hu" and "Titanic". If "Return of the King" wants to break the record, all the suspense will be maintained in the best adapted script, which is also the least down-to-earth and least powerful among the twelve nominations of "Return of the King".

In other words, can the "King Return" continue the 100% winning rate, can the "King Return" create the history of winning awards, and can the "King Return" continue the monopoly. All the suspense is focused on this, the Best Adapted Screenplay Award

Whether it was the "Return of the King" or the sniper mission that broke out in the middle of the journey was to break out with a dark horse, which caused a thousand waves, the sniper mission fell on the "Mysterious River", "City of God", "Rusten Age" and "Rare America".

After Ryan was extremely nervous, he calmed down. He knew that all the awards had been settled now, and the answer was in the red envelope in Francis's hand, and his nervousness was useless. But reason was reason, and reason was truth, Ryan could still feel a thin layer of sweat seeping out of his palm. At this moment, his stomach began to surging, and an irrepressible urge to vomit began to control his brain. He had to use his strong willpower to control the spasms of his internal organs, which made his shirt's back wet, and even his forehead began to sweat coldly.

Shame, an indescribable sense of shame swept over and almost swallowed Ryan.

He originally thought that after he took over Diorama, it belonged to him; he originally thought that after driving Lance out, success was within his control; he originally thought that the success of "lost Tokyo" was enough to prove his wisdom; he originally thought that the choice of "City of God" was Lance's gamble at the end of the road; he originally thought that the Oscar nomination list was just an accident; he originally thought that

He originally thought that tonight was a sure win, and it was the "Lost Tokyo" celebration carnival. But now, he was the one who was forced into a dead corner. He witnessed the "City of God" winning the shame of two little golden men, burning him like a fire. Now, he still has to wait for another result with fear.

It's like waiting for your own death penalty.

This is Lance's first script, right? Ryan tried to comfort himself, but suddenly he choked. He forgot "Good night, good luck", but this is not important. In the eyes of outsiders, "City of God" is Lance's first script. If you want to rely on your debut, you should win the script. This is not the best foreign language film award. Lance is not Sam Mendes Saendes and Alan Ball alanball

This wouldn't be his death penalty.

Ryan's mouth relaxed a little, and turned to look at Tucker and Jason on his right hand. Tucker was still tense at this time, like a bow that was extremely tense. He only needed to apply a little more force to collapse; while Jason was hiding behind Tucker, still couldn't see clearly, and could only vaguely feel his tension from his tightened hands.

Withdrew his gaze, Ryan began to take a deep breath, taking another deep breath.

At this moment, it was not just Ryan, Tucker and Jason, but everyone in the audience was nervous. The huge pressure and amazing suspense of standing at the intersection of history were also spreading in the air. Even Sofia, who was standing on the stage, felt a little nervous, even more nervous than when she announced the Best Original Script Award.

Francis, who was used to countless big scenes, took the initiative to take over the task of revealing the answer, "The winner of the 76th Oscar, the best adapted script is." Then Francis opened the envelope in his hand, took out the card and looked at the answer on it, then handed the card to her daughter, and signaled her to read the answer directly.

Sophia glanced at her father. The tension that was so thick that it almost turned into substance made the entire Kodak Theater explode, so dull that it only wanted to escape in panic. After seeing the affirmation in her father's eyes, Sophia looked down at the card, and then read it word by word:

"Lancelot Stralo, the City of God."

Click, trigger pull. To be continued.
