The opening of the 78th Academy Awards ceremony was really disappointing. Jon's humor could never touch the itch, and the atmosphere on the scene was filled with a sense of arrogance and embarrassment. Even if the guests wanted to cooperate, they still couldn't laugh, which made the atmosphere on the scene look a little deserted.

On the contrary, Lance successfully ignited the atmosphere of the audience with just two actions, just the right entry point, fully demonstrating Lance's sharp mockery but witty and humorous side. Aside from watching the excitement and experts looking at the tricks, for the audience, Lance's attendance was definitely a surprise, and it also brought hilarious humorous jokes. For industry insiders, the short confrontation is worth savoring, not to mention the two extreme positions of Lance and George, all of which are filled with a strong smell of gunpowder. Although I had known that tonight was not simple, I still couldn't wait to feel that feeling of urgency.

After the Oscars, the ratings were the second worst in 20 years, with an average of 38.8 million viewers, which was only higher than the 75th session held at the forefront of the Iraq War. This is also the second time in 20 years that the average ratings have not been able to exceed the 40 million threshold, and the results are very bad. Of course, there are many reasons. Jon's bored opening was just one of them, but it is worth noting that Jon and Lance's interactions only received 42 million viewers.

This is a very interesting set of numbers.

After finishing a brief interview with the crew of "Fruit Hard Candy", Jon continued to tease the other four works nominated for Best Picture one by one, and even produced a short film edited by Western films, mocking the cowboys in previous Western works were all homosexual, and echoing this year's popular work "Brokeback Mountain", but still laughed mediocrely and failed to turn the tide. The opening talk show ended like this, as if it was useless.

The painful torture finally came to an end, and everyone began to wonder which award was the first award tonight. Generally speaking, the supporting role department was the first to appear because the supporting role department could attract the audience's attention at the opening, but it was not the most important among the six core departments, and it had the weakest influence on the direction of the best film.

However, this year is obviously a bit different. The Best Supporting Actor Award is comparable to the Best Picture, which is one of the biggest suspense. If it is just from the topic point of view, it even surpasses the Best Picture. If it starts with the Best Supporting Actress Award, it seems a bit weak, because this year the supporting actress department really lacks highlights and even more suspense.

Therefore, after discussing with the college, which award will be revealed tonight's competition, many people are curious about it.

In Jon's introduction, Nicole Kidman walked onto the stage. The audience was stunned. What award was Nicole awarded? According to convention, the four awards in the actor department will invite the previous winners to be awarded in a gender staggered manner. Nicole was the winner of the actress three years ago, but she did not win any acting nomination last year. So, if Nicole came on stage, what would the first award be?

At the beginning, all the guests were confused.

He raised his head and the subtitles on the big screen began to appear, "Best Supporting Actor". Wow, the sound of gasping in the audience sounded, and it was connected together. The uncontrollable uproar seemed funny and weird in the elegant piano soundtrack. Nicole's dignified and calm steps could not hide the restlessness at the scene. No one expected that the first award was the Best Supporting Actor!

The Best Supporting Actor is not just a little golden man, but also not only maintains the three brilliant works of "Brokeback Mountain", "Crashing", and "Fruit Hard Candy" to compete for the best film, but also the ultimate showdown between Lance and George. This showdown runs through the entire awards season, and even runs through most of Hollywood!

One is a man with a solid foundation in Hollywood for more than ten years, one is a man who has risen strongly in recent years, one is a man who has made Hollywood bloody storm, one is a man with connections all over the world, one is a man who has been loved by countless people, one is a man who is arrogant, unruly, and one is a man with infinite charm and grace, and one is a man with a talented and arrogant personality. These two men who were originally friends, but because of the work "Good night, good luck"

The rebellion became enemies. This storm of artistic creation caused half of Hollywood to take sides. The connections, interests and distribution of power were originally just a simple plagiarism gate. It was clearly distinguished, with black and white, with obvious right and wrong, but the development of things was completely off track and even began to affect the reputation of Oscar! Two little soldiers and two small chess pieces had the ability to change the battle situation and the chess game. This is the true face of the ultimate showdown.

It is no exaggeration to say that the direction of the best supporting actor is one of the biggest suspense tonight.

Now, one of the biggest suspense is about to be revealed at the opening, and it ended the showdown that ran through the awards season with a vigorous attitude. This is really a huge surprise! But if you think about it carefully, this is the most appropriate choice, because in the second half, heavyweight awards were dazzling. Compared with the intensive war zone, the attention of the opening is worthy of the weight of this showdown, and it will be a huge opening tonight's suspense.

However, the senior leaders of the academy are now full of bitterness. If they knew this result, they would never put the best supporting actor in the first place to award the opening ceremony because it would almost add fuel to the fire. It would clearly make everyone focus on the competition for this award, it would clearly push the showdown between Lance and George onto the ring, and also make everyone come and watch. This is the situation that the academy would most not want to see.

The original intention was based on the absence of Lance.

There is also a small behind-the-scenes here. Since Lance has never been able to confirm whether he attends, Chaos Film, Academy, B TV, etc. are all arranged according to the result of "absence". After learning that Lance is absent from the Academy Awards ceremony, the original Best Supporting Actor Awards guest, Cate Blanchett, the winner of the Best Supporting Actress of the Year, rejected the invitation from the Academy and refused to attend this year's awards ceremony.

In this showdown between George and Lance, Kate stood firmly on Lance's side. During the awards season, Kate even ran around and tried his best to Lance's college public relations, but unfortunately his strength was small. After the Golden Globes, George still laughed at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association and the Seattle Film Critics Association. The industry's pursuit of George continued to rise, which made Kate angry.

It seems that all the evidence shows that the Oscar's best supporting actor, the Golden Man, will be awarded to George, which is unacceptable to Kate. If the trophy is still given to George from her, this is even more unacceptable to Kate. So, Kate is sure to miss the Oscars.

The academy did not make much publicity about Kate's absence, and Kate has always been low-key, so people are paying attention to Lance's absence, but instead ignore Kate's absence. However, after this incident came out, it caused a small commotion in the Hollywood industry, adding another fire to the showdown between Lance and George.

Therefore, when arranging the award for the Best Supporting Actor Award, the college first invited Nicole to serve as the award guest, Nicole, who had just resigned, confirmed to star in the "Berlin Maze" directed by Steven Soderbergh. She partnered with George Clooney. Nicole and Lance are good friends, but their relationship is not as hard as that. After careful consideration, the Best Supporting Actor Award was placed in the opening award. They did not know the result, but no matter what the result was, thanks to Lance's absence, it would be like a drop of hot oil falling into a pot of cold water, and was ignored calmly. In this way, it can maintain suspense and create topics, but will not intensify conflicts or malicious hype.

However, things have obviously deviated from the track, and it is too late and there is no way to recover.

What's more, not to mention the personal grudges between Lance and George, from the perspective of awards, the competition for the best supporting actor department is also the most fiercely competitive among the four major acting awards this year.

In the battle for the best actor, "Capport"'s Philip Seymer Hoffman was ahead of his ranks. Joaquin Phoenix, the only one who can launch an impact, is still not worth it. The competition for the best actress is to look at the showdown between Reese Witherspoon, who is "Walking with Song" and Felicity Hoffman, who is "traveling through the United States". As for the best supporting actress, Rachel Viazi, the "Immortal Gardener", is very obvious. Even Michel Williams of "Brokeback Mountain" can hardly pose a threat.

But the best supporting actor department is different. In this department of respecting the elderly, there are no "old people" this year. Paul Giamati, the oldest, is only forty-three years old. Although Jack Gyllenhaal, who is only twenty-five years old, has been in Hollywood for six years and has the ability to hit awards. This also means that the practices of the department in previous years seem to no longer work, and everything must be overturned and rebuilt.

In terms of strength, Lance of "Fruit Hard Candy" is far ahead, George of "Sinrina" is worthy of "exciting" evaluation, Jack of "Brokeback Mountain" should not be underestimated on qualifications, Matt of "Crashing" and Paul of "Iron Fist Man" and George of "Sinrina" have been rolling in Hollywood for more than fifteen years. Even Lance, before the resumes of the actors and directors, has been rolling in Hollywood as a producer for nearly four years. Five people have their own strengths, and even the youngest Jack is a complete film world. The whole family is a participant in the film industry. There are three best film contenders in the five nomination seats.

From any perspective, this is an award full of sparks and suspense.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows, so the most beautiful pattern of the 78th session was formed, with the best supporting actor at the opening and the best film at the end, and the two major suspenses shone together, truly outlining the smoke of the awards season. To be continued.
