Chapter 297 The 70th Oscars 2
"The college has indeed spent a lot of effort."
As the award ceremony began, Ryan muttered in Nicole's ear.
After waiting for seventy years, Oscar finally had his own theme song. As the music, called "Oscar Prelude", the bow of the Titanic slowly rose from the stage, as if it was coming through the wind and waves. It was not Jack and Ruth standing on the bow, but Billy Christo.
Unlike previous years, Billy Christo has less nonsense and jokes and quickly turned to the topic. Perhaps the director in charge of this year's Oscar also understood that the time has been delayed too long, which is one of the main reasons for the continuous decline in the ratings of the Oscars.
Of course, this guy will not give up his signature and connect the movies that won the Best Picture nomination. Singing a paragraph is his specialty, and the focus of this joke is naturally on "Titanic".
"This is a wonderful night for Oscars. Everyone has sat down and sat back on that big ship. The owner of the ship is the two biggest fools in Hollywood. They exchanged $300 million for $2 billion. Who has ever seen such a fool? Many people are looking forward to it being out of stock so that they can leave some gaps for later people to surpass. I think people should take off their hats and pay tribute to this ship, to propellers, to icebergs, to movie stars, to director Cameron, and finally, Jack Dawson and Ryan Jenkins..."
Very rare, Billy Christo, the chatterbox, sang for only five minutes, and then simply teased Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, the famous good friends, and gave up the stage.
Robert Lyme, the current president of the School of Film Arts and Sciences, gave a brief opening speech, focusing on the Oscar's glorious history for seventy years, and also announced the college's determination to continue to make reform attempts in the next few years.
"here we go!"
After seeing Edward Norton walk onto the stage, Nicole quietly held Ryan's hand.
At the same time, everyone in the crew of "Titanic" subconsciously held their breath because the best supporting actress was about to be awarded. Gloria Stewart was nominated for the performance of the elderly Ruth.
"The nomination for Best Supporting Actress is Gloria Stewart's "Titanic", Minnie Deliver's "The Mind Catcher", Kim Basinger's "Los Angeles Secret"..."
Ryan looked at Gloria Stewart with a leisurely look. Her chances of winning were extremely small. If the normal rules were followed, the academy would not give any performance award to Titanic. This is what is called balance and pork splitting.
Kim Basinger is extremely smart. Her role can be nominated for the best actress. However, she took the initiative to choose a supporting actress, thus avoiding Nicole, the most powerful competitor.
Besides, the overall atmosphere of Hollywood is nostalgic. The time in the movie "Los Angeles Secret" is the so-called golden age of Hollywood.
"The winner of Best Supporting Actress is...Kim Basinger's "Los Angeles Secret", congratulations!"
As Edward Norton read out his final answer, the crew of "Los Angeles Secret" sitting not far away was cheering and stood up to celebrate the victory.
The crew of "Titanic" fell into a brief silence, and many people even felt dangerous. Will their crew become another tragic "Shawshank Redemption"?
Not only Ryan's side, but many people in the Temple Theater had this idea, and looked at it, with both confusion, sympathy, and gloating.
You can see the unlimited scenery of the big ship and Ryan Jenkins, but it is a rare scene!
Even many people in the independent film industry cursed in their hearts that they would not win any awards for this movie, as this would be worthy of the rigorous film art.
After a brief silence, Ryan became the first person nearby to clap his palms. Under his guidance, the applause around him gradually became warm.
"Don't worry. We have fifteen nominations."
Ryan seemed to be saying to himself, and to the people around him.
"I've never been worried." James Cameron had a very good understanding. "It's a good thing for us to lose the performance award."
The overall atmosphere in Hollywood is nostalgia. The nine nominations for "Los Angeles Secret" are indeed the biggest competitors of "Titanic", but so what?
I met this unprecedented giant ship. Other movies can only be supporting roles, only tragedies!
Ryan never doubted this!
Just when some people, such as Michael Eisner, who was sitting in the VIP seat in the rear, was hoping that Ryan and Titanic would completely sink into the Oscars' runners, another award was announced.
"The best costume design of the little golden man belongs to..."
Elizabeth Sue, with a blonde hair, opened the envelope and completely kicked off the storm, "Titanic, Deborah Lynn Scott!"
The melody of "My Heart Eternal" was played for the first time. Ryan stood up and waved his fist hard, then celebrating James Cameron with high fives. Deborah Lynn Scott over there was excitedly embracing everyone.
"Congratulations, Deborah, you did a great job!"
"Thank you, Ryan!"
After calming down, Deborah walked onto the stage, took the Little Golden Man from Elizabeth Sue, stood in front of the microphone, and sent out the first award speech from the crew of "Titanic".
"Thank you, the Oscar judge, thank you for awarding this award to me! I never thought that I would have participated in such a great job, nor did I expect that I would have become a participant in a great history..."
"I'll leave for a while, my dear."
Nicole stood up and walked towards the backstage through a special passage. I wonder if it was to attract attention, but the organizing committee actually asked her to introduce the "Titanic", which was nominated for the Best Picture.
The nomination films related to Ryan are not just this movie, but also Blue Sky Studio's animated short film "Bonnie Bunny" and "Irene Brockwich".
Hell!
James Cameron frowned. Although he was not his own movie that lost, he still felt sorry for his friendship with Ryan and Nicole.
"Los Angeles Secret" seems to have become the nemesis of Jenkins Films. In the best supporting actor, Gay Pierce defeated Albert Fanny and once again snatched a little golden man from Ryan's side.
Although he didn't care, Ryan still whispered to the old actor and said a few words. To be honest, if he was willing to spend his time on public relations, he might not lose.
However, the entire movie is for Nicole, and Ryan doesn't want any accidents.
Two consecutive times, Jenkins Film lost to "Los Angeles Secret", which seemed like a very bad omen.
"Tom Johnson, Gary Summers, Mark Yulano, Paul Mather, "Air Force One" and Andy Nelson, Anna Belmore..."
The two sides soon had another chance of direct collision. Cameron Diaz grinned and read the final winner, "The one who achieved the best sound effect was... "Titanic"!"
“Yes!”
Ryan clearly heard many people around him whispering, and the entire crew suddenly fell into joy. This was the second little golden man tonight, and it also broke the subtle psychological hints of the previous one.
As if breaking the invisible shackles, "Titanic" was out of control, winning the best sound effect, best visual effect, and best original soundtrack three small gold men. In terms of technical awards, they gradually showed a sweeping trend.
Of course, it is not just about "Titanic". When Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, a pair of good friends, stood on the stage and read the name of "Bonnie Rabbit", Ryan's Blue Sky Studio took the best animated short film into his pocket.
Including the best visual effects they have obtained together, Blue Sky Studio has already won two Little Golden Man tonight. Chris Wedge's mouth is almost smirking. Who would have thought that a studio that was not as good as an ugly duckling a few years ago actually had the top technology in the industry.
Sitting in the VIP seat, Michael Eisner was expressionless, unable to say he was happy or angry. Even if he didn't want to admit it, Ryan Jenkins's vision had long become a recognized fact in Hollywood.
“It’s not easy to stand on the Oscar stage, why am I not the one who receives the award?”
Drew Barrymore's baby face was filled with a passionate smile, "When I read the final answer, there will definitely be people who will be disappointed, but being nominated is a huge honor."
"Well, the one who won the 70th Academy Award for Best Makeup is..."
Listening to the award Drew said, Ryan's hand unconsciously clenched. Nicole quickly noticed his changes and looked over strangely.
"Is this award important?" Nicole was a little puzzled.
"Very important!" Ryan did not explain much.
If you want to break the eleventh prize winning record of a single session, the Best Makeup Award lost in your previous life is crucial. For this reason, Ryan did not even ask the crew of "Men in Black" to apply for any nominations, otherwise, there would be no suspense for this award.
Drew Barrymore unpacked the envelope and took out the card, "Congratulations to my friends, congratulations to Titanic, congratulations to Greg Canon and Tina Sean!"
The melody of "My Heart Eternal" was played again, and the surroundings were boiling again. Ryan also slapped his palm hard, and the momentum of the ship was almost unstoppable.
As long as nothing unexpected happens, the overall situation is decided!
While Ryan breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at Nicole. The most critical moment was coming because the next award was the Best Actress!
This year's Oscars are full of changes. The Best Actor and Actress was not placed at the end of the award ceremony, but moved to the front. After Billy Christo talked a lot, Jeffrey Rush, the winner of the previous Best Actor, walked onto the stage. This actor from Australia was the guest of the Best Actress award.
