In front of the Holy Auditorium, the Academy specially erected a large screen so that those who participated in the red carpet but were unable to enter the auditorium watched the award ceremony. Both Hollywood and Oscars have a strong business atmosphere. This year's major economic decline in the United States will inevitably affect the award ceremony. The Academy has put a lot of effort into the ratings.

Thousands of viewers surrounded the front of the big screen, and naturally, those young and beautiful women were indispensable.

This team is definitely the focus of the organizing committee's prevention. In case of precautions, they simply refuse these people to enter.

The sky gradually dimmed and the big screen officially started. After a brief opening, Steve Martin stood under Mr. Oscar on the stage.

After experiencing the infinite cycle of Billy Christo and Whoopi Gordonburg, the new century Oscar finally ushered in a new host, the comedian who is known as the Hollywood Whitehead, whose hosting style tends to be vulgar.

Of course, routine opening jokes are indispensable. The federal government is always the most suitable target for ridicule, because as long as they are told, even if all politicians are called pigs, the Washington authorities will not jump out to make trouble.

Steve Martin unceremoniously ridiculed the federal government's diplomatic and tax policies and said directly, "Oh, let me tell you a unfortunate news. Hollywood's long-awaited tax cuts have been ruined. We can go back to raise money and prepare for tax filing."

Perhaps it was the first time I hosted Oscars. Steve Martin had obvious problems in grasping the scale of jokes, especially when he mentioned the homosexual group in a joking tone, which would definitely attract protests from homosexual organizations in the future.

"We live in a great kingdom, where we do not have to pay the price of our lives for freedom and republic."

After praising Julia Roberts' makeup, Steve Martin looked at Ryan's location. "The tragedy like this Gladiator will not happen in Los Angeles. How charming Ryan is in the movie. Just ask the girls outside the theater. Fortunately, he finally started a relationship..."

The camera gave Charlize Theron a few seconds close-up. The South African diamonds showed a charming smile.

"It's not easy to maintain a relationship or marriage in Hollywood..."

Steve Martin walked to the other side, suddenly spread his hands and said, "Because we've slept too many people."

As soon as this sentence came out, the entire theater was in an uproar, especially the Hollywood industry insiders in the front row, most of them closed their smiles.

"This should be his last time hosting the Oscar."

He whispered to Charlize. Ryan couldn't help but shake his head. He knew that the other party was not targeting him, but just did not grasp the joking standards.

However, even if everyone in Hollywood understands all the things, even if the public in the United States knows, they cannot be told on the table. What's more, it is in occasions like the Oscars that are broadcast live to the world.

Old Martin will definitely be on the blacklist of the academy, and I'm afraid there will never be a second chance to host the Oscar in this life.

Steve Martin on the stage also understood that what he said was a bit too much and immediately changed the topic, "Is An Lee sitting there? When I first heard about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I never thought it would be a movie..."

The atmosphere in the theater was much colder than before. Ryan was too lazy to listen to Steve Martin’s vulgar jokes. He simply stared at the huge set on the stage, the little golden man was distracted.

"What are you thinking?" Charlize Theron came over and whispered, "It's going to start."

On the stage, Steve Martin has already made it aside, and the first award for the opening ceremony will be awarded soon. As the award presenter for Best Supporting Actor, last year's Best Supporting Actress Angelina Jolie stood in the center of the stage with a large envelope.

"An excellent movie not only requires the protagonist, but also the same excellent supporting role." The female movie star who caused a storm last year because of her award speech was very rude. "Benicio Del Todd's performance in "Drug Network" is impressive. William Forda's performance in "Phantom of Vampire" softens the fantasy and reality. Leonardo DiCaprio perfectly interprets the role of the insidious and despicable emperor Jeff Bridges in "The Contender"..."

Leonardo on the other side was obviously a little nervous, which was normal. He became a Hollywood star and had the success of the series of commercial masterpiece "Mission: Impossible". This handsome young actor naturally wanted to make a difference in the Oscars.

Unfortunately, it turns out that young people, especially handsome young people, are indeed not favored by the college.

"In the end, the winner is..." Angelina Jolie did not make an appetite and read the answer directly, "Benicio Del Todd of "Drug Network"!"

Although Li kept smiling and applauding, Ryan still saw the disappointment and patted his arm gently, "There is still a chance in the future, Leon."

“I will come back next year.”

Hearing Leonardo's words, Ryan couldn't help but think that Xiao Li wouldn't be crazy about Oscars now, right? If this is the case, she would soon become an uncle with a fat face.

However, the Academy's discrimination against young people is obvious, and they would rather hand over the award to an older Latino than consider several other young actors who have recently risen.

Will I be as tragic as Leonardo? Ryan subconsciously poked his face. If he failed this time, would he also change his image?

He quickly gave up this idea. As long as his plan succeeds, he will never play with the Academy and Oscars in the future.

"Dear, stop thinking about it."

Careful Charlize seemed to guess what he thought and whispered, "Don't forget, you are different from Leon."

Nodding, Ryan took Charlize's hand and turned his attention back to the stage.

"Drug Network" is indeed the strongest opponent. It gave all competitors a warning at the beginning. After winning the Best Supporting Actor, he won the Best Editor from Russell Clow, who served as the award presenter, and the two producers of Focus Pictures became the brightest smiles in the theater.

"Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also received the best editing nomination, but lost to "Drug Network", especially "Gladiator", which lost to "Drug Network" in two consecutive awards, and seemed to be moving towards tragedy.

After Ben Affleck and Annette Bening introduced "Queen" and "Love Chocolate" nominated for Best Picture, COCO Lee became the first Chinese female singer to appear on the Oscar stage and sang the theme song "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" nominated for Best Original Song. Although the dancers showed oriental culture, unfortunately they could only use English to sing.

The best original script and best supporting actress awarded next have nothing to do with him. Ryan spent most of his time chatting with Charlize and Leonanna.

"Gladiator" was nominated for the Best Original Screenplay in his previous life, but when it first came out in this life, it was a novel, so it entered the ranks of the best adapted screenplay.

"Some inconspicuous original works, after being adapted from the movie, often emit a brilliant light..."

Tom Hanks, who was wide and fat, stood on the stage as the award presenter, "The one who won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award was... Stephen Garhan, "Drug Network"!"

The crew of "Drug Network" was cheering, and there were only sparse applause coming from Ryan. The people around him gave comforting eyes, but he didn't care much.

Generally speaking, movies that win script awards often take the lead in the best director or best film, but Ryan’s biggest goal is not these two awards. These messy awards with certain comfort nature may not be a good thing to lose from some aspects.

However, losing to "Drug Network" in three consecutive awards is also unlucky enough, as the previous film only received five Oscar nominations.

Such bad luck cannot last, otherwise wouldn’t Ryan’s high-intensity public relations have done nothing? Since the academy did not reveal any dissatisfaction in advance, "Gladiator" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" would never become a tragedy.

When Chow Yun-fat and Michelle Yeoh, the film's partners, stood on the stage and gave the best visual effect of the Little Golden Man, Ryan, for the first time, was in a boiling mood around him, and "Gladiator" also won the first award tonight.

The most difficult thing in the world is often the first step, as if Oscars are also confirming this rule. Then "Gladiator" won the best sound effects and best costume design one after another, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" also won the best photography and best art direction.

Especially for the best soundtrack, Tan Dun became the second Chinese musician to win this award.

The award ceremony entered the second half. As it happened before, Ang Lee took over the Best Foreign Language Film from Juliet Binoche, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became the only Chinese-language film to win the Oscar for Best Picture.

In order to cooperate with Ryan and Harvey Weinstein's public relations work, Ang Lee has devoted all his energy to this movie since the day he got the Palme d'Or. At this time, he had to taste a big wish and seemed a little excited on the stage. He simply read the award speech according to the pre-prepared note.

He thanked all crew members from actors to producers, and finally gave special thanks.

"Finally, I want to thank Ryan for giving me the opportunity to direct this film and the opportunity to stand on this stage. The success of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is inseparable from his strong support. Thank Ryan, thank Harvey, thank you Jenkins Pictures and Weinstein Pictures."

The camera naturally found the location of Ryan and Harvey Weinstein, and both of them slapped their hands hard.

Ang Lee is a smart person and very good at being a human being. He understands the importance of integrating into Hollywood. Otherwise, if he fails, he will come from and go back to wherever he comes from, just like those from Hong Kong.
