Chapter 840: unprecedented
Billy Christo used a lively string of songs to sing all the nominated films and the awards ceremony officially began.
Hollywood veteran actress Julie Andrews, who once appeared in "Happy Man" and "The Voice of Music", first appeared on stage and presented the Oscar Honorary Award to Hollywood director Michael Kidd. Eric did not know the year. The old-fashioned director of the tenth, remembers the winner of the previous honorary award, Kirk Douglas, the father of Michael Douglas.
The second award followed the Titanic, the best fashion design.
As the guest of honor, Julia boarded the podium and began to introduce the nomination list. The atmosphere in the auditorium seemed to be quiet at this moment.
Although almost everyone predicts that Titanic will be the biggest winner tonight, the result is that no dust settles in a minute, and variables and suspense always exist.
The number of films nominated for the film is obviously not as refined as the Titanic. If the Titanic can't get this 'opening', then the final result of the remaining 13 nominations. It will also be cast a shadow.
"The film that won the Oscar for best fashion design is Sandy Powell, Shakespeare's Love Story; Paul Brown, Cyan Storm; Ruth Myers, Emma; Alexandra Blyney, Hamlet and Deborah Scott, Titanic."
On the big screen, the gorgeous costumes of the corresponding movie flashed one by one. Immediately, Julia opened the envelope in front of her and looked at the result, but she did not immediately get close to the microphone. Instead, she subconsciously looked at Eric, with her face on her face. The smile of the invitation.
Eric immediately noticed, and the live video camera had not been swept, and he made a gesture to Julia.
Although some people noticed this short detail on the court, except for Eric himself, most people will only subconsciously use this smile as a congratulation.
With Eric's suggestion, Julia immediately immediately approached the microphone and announced: "Oscar will return, Deborah Scott, "Titanic."
As expected, the applause immediately sounded in the auditorium.
In the back of the auditorium, a woman in her forties stood up excitedly, hugged her husband, and walked to the position where the front-of-the-line "Titanic" was sitting, shaking hands and hugging each other. Eric, who was sitting in the middle of the third row, stood up and reached for the handshake with Deborah Scott in the aisle.
With the best fashion design, "Titanic" has won three technical awards for best editing, best sound and best visual effects. In just half an hour, it has already won four small gold. people.
After another award for the best foreign language film irrelevant to Titanic, the gentle and gentle Pierce Brosnan came on stage to introduce Celine Dion on stage to perform the theme song "I am Eternal" of "Titanic".
Scorpio-like music echoed in the hall of the Holy Citizens. Eric thought that the organizers would follow the trend to present the best original songs. Unexpectedly, it was Nicholas Cage, who introduced the best actress nomination.
There are no nominees with overwhelming advantages in the five nominations for this session.
In this case, if it is not the "Titanic" turned out, with the strong public relations ability of Milamax, Julia may have a great chance to reach the top of the film.
However, in the strong performance of "Titanic", in order to save money and network resources, Miramax gave up the public relations of "Shakespeare's Love", and the possibility of Julia getting a shadow has also plummeted.
As for Rachel Vichy, although her performance in the movie is much better than that of Xiao Lizi, for such a newcomer to Hollywood, the nomination of an Oscar for Best Actress is already the most for her. Good rewards, want to win awards, chances are even more embarrassing than Julia.
In the proposed public relations strategy of Firefly, there was no significant effort on Rachel’s nomination.
In the end, the best actress award fell to the heroine of the "Bloodstorm" Francis McDomond, the Hollywood actress who debuted with the Cohen Brothers Film Studio "Blood Maze", many years later, It’s also a beautiful talk to get the best actress in the Oscar with the Cohen Brothers movie.
Among the next few awards, the best art director and best original script, once again added two small gold people to the Titanic.
When Cameron held the little golden man into the background with everyone's warm applause, Eric raised his hand and looked at the table below. The award ceremony took exactly an hour.
It seems that the organizers have spent a lot of thought on the order of awards for the ratings.
Eric couldn't help guessing the best original song award that was related to him, perhaps at an hour and a half or two hours.
With Eric's thoughts, on the stage, the next award-winning guest, Courtney Love, began to announce the best makeup nominee.
Eric also immediately got up.
Because of this award, it is crucial for the Titanic to break the 11 Oscar records obtained by Bin Xu.
Among the 14 nominations for Titanic, except for Rachel’s best actress nomination, there is basically no hope. According to the initial assessment, whether the final number of awards in the film can break the record of “Ben Xu”, there are two other One variable, one is the best supporting actress, the other is the best makeup.
Although the Titanic has an overwhelming advantage in terms of fashion design for other nominees, the advantage of the actor's make-up is not obvious, because there is another very important competitor in the same period, that is, the summer file of Universal Pictures last year. The published "Fatty Professor", Eddie Murphy, the standard black male star, in the "Fatty Professor", through the makeup means wonderfully deduced a big fat man more than two hundred pounds.
There are only three films for the best make-up nominations, Titanic, Fatty Professor and Star Trek First Contact.
After introducing the nomination film, Courtney Love opened the envelope in his hand, and Eric could not help but hold the small hand holding the hoe.
"Then, Oscar will be there," Courtney Love paused with a smile, and bought a small one, and then read the winners: "Tina Enshaw, Gray Cannon, Simon Thompson "Titanic, congratulations."
The applause was again heard in the auditorium, and the three award-winning makeup artists came to the stage one after another.
This is already the seventh Oscar-winning person in the Titanic. The guests on the scene are already in a certain numb state. Most people don't know what this little gold man might mean for Titanic.
After Eric and several core creatives congratulated the three makeup artists, they sat down again, including Cameron, and two producers, Jon Landau and William Stewart, looked at him. Several people exchanged their eyes with excitement.
The six little gold men before the Best Makeup Awards fully explain that the Oscars have compromised the great success of the Titanic business. The biggest suspense of "Titanic" at this award ceremony is whether it can break the 11 Oscar-winning records that Bin Xing once created.
When the best makeup, the unpredictable Xiaojin, arrived, perhaps the majority of the guests and the audience waiting for the final result in front of the TV did not understand what the award meant, but there were countless results in the PR phase. The debut of the "Titanic" master and public relations team, but the significance of this award is very clear.
Getting the best awards almost means that Titanic will eventually get 12 gold medalists, creating a new record in Oscar history.
As Eric guessed, the award ceremony was held two hours later, Hollywood veteran actress Gotti Handon, awarded the best original song award.
Eric initially hoped that Cameron, James Horner and his three people would sign the award together.
After all, he only wrote the lyrics and scores, and the arrangement and recording of the songs were completely done by Cameron and James Horner. When Eric's current status is reached, he can't care whether he or she only enjoys an Oscar. However, when the awards were announced, Cameron and James Horner declined the signature of the award. The public relations team also felt that Irene The separate signature of the gram is more favorable to the public relations of the awards and the later publicity. Therefore, the final list of declarations is only one person.
Before this award, Madonna just took the stage to perform the movie "Mrs. Belon", the most threatening "I must love me" for "My Heart is Eternal". Obviously, this is the link that the Oscar organizers deliberately created in order to create suspense. But the results did not have any suspense.
Gotti Han quickly opened the envelope and announced the result: "Oscar will be returned, Eric Williams, "My Heart is Eternal."
Around the opening ceremony of the award ceremony, the most enthusiastic applause from now on, and even some people cheered.
Eric smiled and got up, hugged with the **** around him, left the seat, and greeted each other with Cameron, Jon Landau, William Stewart, Rachel, and so on. On the stage.
After picking up the little gold man from Gotti Han, Eric embraced the first-generation American sweetheart, and walked to the microphone.
As Eric stood in front of the microphone, the applause that had fallen back was once again warm.
"Thank you, thank you all," Eric politely expressed his gratitude, patiently waiting for the applause to stop, only to smash the little gold man in his hand, jokingly said: "I think I should declare it in advance, in fact, I am a director. ""
After a brief silence, the guests quickly understood the self-adjustment in Eric's words and laughed.
Eric is a director and no one doubts that he is definitely one of Hollywood's best directors.
However, plus now, standing on the Oscar podium twice, Erik's awards have nothing to do with the best director, which has to be said to be a very interesting thing.
At the same time as the award-winning testimony, Eric himself couldn’t help but think of the joke that he had opened with the girl in the first two days of trying clothes. Will he really take the Oscar’s corner awards, even though the performance awards, Eric certainly hasn't had much hope. He is also not very interested in these awards, but he has confidence in the technical awards such as the best screenplay, the best soundtrack, and the best editing.
After a simple speech, Eric walked backstage with Gotti Han.
Sitting in the auditorium for two hours in a row, the taste was not very good for anyone. Eric did not rush to go back, booked the nameplate for Xiaojin, accepted a short photo interview, and Eric came. lounge.
There are also many guests in the lounge who are lazy and do not rush to the auditorium. Oscar has a special occupant who takes up the original seat when the guest leaves, and does not allow the vacancy to appear abrupt. Therefore, as long as it is not paid special attention, the audience will not find a certain A guest halfway through the situation.
After Eric appeared, everyone gathered eagerly to say hello. After all, Eric’s current status is not just a director. Even if he is familiar with him, he will get unexpected benefits in the future.
Eric just talked with Al Pacino and remembered a soft female voice behind her.
"Hey, Eric, congratulations."
Eric turned and saw that Madonna, who had just performed "You Must Love Me" on the stage, had already replaced another light dress with a smile and stood behind him.
Eric politely reached out to Madonna and said, "Thank you, Miss Siconi, your performance has been very exciting."
Madonna took Eric's hand and seemed to be dissatisfied and said, "Oh, Eric, you can call me Maggie."
Maggie...
Eric’s slight sweat, this nickname, is called the Queen’s adult.
Feeling that the palm of his hand was gently scratched a few times, Eric suddenly realized that he was inexplicably distracted, and noticed that Madonna was looking at him with a smile, slightly releasing his opponent's hand and shrugged: "Sorry, Mai...the amount, Maggie."
Eric's knowledge of Madonna is limited to the vomiting of 'Auntie put on clothes well', no matter what the past or the present, so he doesn't have a special feeling for this actress.
Madonna was obviously interested in him, pointing to the sofa in the corner of the rest area, saying: "Eric, how about sitting there?"
Eric will subconsciously refuse, suddenly remembered the Yahoo music store, and nodded and agreed.
Not to mention the other, this one is definitely a sister of European and American music in the same status as Michael Jackson. If Yahoo Music Store can get the online sales copyright of Madonna music, it will definitely make the development of music online sales platform a big step forward. step.
The two sat down on the sofa in the corner, and Madonna instructed the assistants around to pour the coffee, and then looked at Eric again with great interest, watching him look empty and smiling: "Eric, your little gold What about people?"
"Oh, the assistant helped me close it up," Eric pointed to Peter Ritchie, who was not far away.
Madonna joked: "Oh, if I want to win the prize, I will hold the little gold man all night."
Eric tweeted: "So, every time you go to Grammy with a bunch of trophies to go to bed?"
Madonna flew Eric with a stunned look and said: "Do you want to see how I look at the bed with a bunch of trophies?"
Eric shook his head immediately: "I don't want to."
Madonna groaned and laughed. "It's really sad. Eric, speaking, "My Heart is Eternal" will definitely be the big winner of the next year's Grammy. You may be invited at that time. Or, from six years ago, you should be invited, the new "New-Divide", I now keep the singles of the year. Unfortunately, you seem to care less about this."
"That's your site, I won't join in the fun," Eric said. He didn't want Madonna to keep the rhythm of the conversation. He was about to take the initiative to mention the Yahoo Music Store and the entrance to the stage. A slight commotion.
Peter Ritchie walked in a hurry and said: "Mr. Williams, Ms. Stewart won the award, the best supporting actress."
Eric was surprised to stand up and get the best makeup award, Eric will not expect too much for the best supporting actress.
After all, this time with Gloria Stewart competing for the best supporting actress, and Hollywood legendary actress Lauren Whitecock, no matter the qualifications or fame, Gloria Stewart is far from Compared with Lauren Whitecock. Moreover, if the Titanic can get 12 small gold people and break the history, everyone is very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, this best supporting actress with Rachel's best actress nomination award is not much better, and even got it.
A little calmer, Eric asked Peter Ritchie: "How many awards did you get?"
"Ten," said Peter Ritchie, adding: "The next thing about the Titanic is the three nominations for the best soundtrack, best director and best film."
James Horner's best soundtrack nomination, Cameron's best director nomination, and the ultimate best film nomination, these three, to this point, can there be any suspense?
Undoubtedly, this means that the Titanic will eventually receive the number of Xiaojin people, which will reach an unprecedented 13 items!
