Chapter 220 The Biggest Winner
The atmosphere in Braveheart is extremely depressing. With the remaining two awards, they only won an innocuous little award for best costume design. The degree of failure can be compared to last year's The Shawshank Redemption. , Many of them looked at Mel Gibson with cold eyes.
If it wasn't for this idiot who was drunk and talking nonsense, if it wasn't for this director who dragged down the crew, what would Braveheart be like now? At least it can compete with Saving Private Ryan in the previous technical awards, right?
As long as he's not drunk, Mel Gibson's brain is still relatively clear. He can feel the unfriendly atmosphere around him. In the past, the people who saw him in the crew would only be obedient, but now they look at him with eyes full of Resentment and disdain, but he can turn a blind eye, as long as he can win the best director, these people will inevitably come over one by one with a shy face!
As long as I can get the best director, I have the capital to turn around!
Even if the hope is slim, Mel Gibson still has a little bit of luck in his heart.
He turned his head and looked at the place where the crew of Saving Private Ryan was located more than 20 feet away. A beautiful and sexy brunette was saying something in Duke Rosenberg's ear. The two of them looked relaxed and comfortable. Just a standard pair...
Suddenly, Mel Gibson thought of Sophie Marceau. The other party was also the one who framed him. After the incident, he hid in France. He is currently negotiating with Martin Bob to terminate the contract. He heard that she got Eno Martin's contract. Support, it's not too expensive to leave Martin Bob.
These damn actresses have no principles and bottom lines for fame and fortune!
If there is a chance to rise again, he must no longer trust any female stars.
The opportunity to rise is only in front of you!
Mel Gibson seems to be looking at us, Zeta Jones whispered in Duke's ear. Is he still going to win Best Director?
Duke shook his head. Who knows? We'll wait for the answer.
on the stage. Robert Zemeckis stands on the side of the big screen, introducing the nominated director.
Chris Nuan, through the fate of Beibei in Piggy Run, depicts the gradual awakening of children to the adult world.
Mel Gibson, you and Braveheart shook people's souls, freedom has always been so precious!
Tim Robbins. While Death Row is only your second film, it gave us the belief that everyone deserves respect!
Duke Rosenberg, with a landmark work in war films like Saving Private Ryan, tells us to cherish life and help others!
Michael Rufford, The Postman is so good...
Chandler Hall was eerily quiet except for Robert Zemeckis' voice. His body turned back from the direction of the big screen, facing the audience.
On the big screen, each of the five nominees occupies a separate section, and their expressions are completely different.
No waiting, Zemeckis opened the envelope. Looking down, the air in Chandler Hall seemed to freeze.
Will it be myself?
At this moment, it is all false to say that he is calm and does not want to win the award, Duke subconsciously held the hand of Kessert Zeta Jones. Zeta Jones also held him, and the smugness in his smile flickered.
Mel Gibson looked to the stage with longing in his eyes. He has never felt so important to the Oscar for best director as it is now, and it is important to his success or failure in his future life!
Tim Robbins clasped Susan Sarandon, last year's loser. His girlfriend has just won the Best Actress, and he has done a lot of work in advance, and he never wants to be a disappointment again!
Who will win?
In the studio of ABC TV, Roger Albert has been paying attention to the live broadcast. For this best director award, they have done too much work. Most of the well-known film critics have given up their prejudices, and it is rare to unite together through columns and lobbying. In other ways, influence the old men who grew up with them in the academy and prevent Duke Rosenberg from winning the Golden Man for Best Director.
For this moment, he almost sold his old face. After all, after the Mel Gibson scandal broke out, other works were really weak, and people had to choose Duke Rosenberg.
He won't win!
Thinking of his own efforts, of Siskel, David Denby, Todd McCarthy, and others, and thinking that the other party was not yet twenty-six years old, Roger Albert believed him Impossible to win!
He understands the bottom line of most of the old men in the academy, and the winner of the best director will not be younger than 30 years old!
The winner is... Robert Zemeckis took another look at the card he took out of the envelope. Tim Robbins, Death Ramble!
As soon as the answer came out, there was no wave-like applause in the Chandler Hall, and many people had mixed reactions.
Ruined!
This was Mel Gibson's first thought. He slumped back on the chair, tilted his head, his eyes were slightly lost, and his last hope was finally dashed!
Catherine Zeta Jones turned to look at Duke, wanting to offer comfort as soon as possible. When a man is beaten and frustrated, it is often the moment when his heart is most vulnerable, and it is also the best chance to capture him.
However, what she saw was a smiling Duke, as if losing the best director statuette had no effect on him.
In front of the TV, Roger Albert waved his arm vigorously, and even shouted YES unconsciously. When he saw the close-up of the disappointed people in the broadcast, he immediately concentrated on watching it. He wanted to see Duke Luo Seenberg looked disappointed, but he was disappointed. Just like every time he saw him in the past, the young director was firm, tenacious, and indifferent.
Shady! There must be a shady!
In the chat room of the Blast Maniac, it was as if it had just been bombed, What movie is Death Ramble, has anyone heard of it?
Duke Nukem left a message, My hunch has come true, and the judges are really balancing!
What tattered Oscar, don't watch it! Rose Mountain was very angry, It's obviously bullying Duke Young!
Don't watch it! Ryan Rescue the Soldier persuaded, The best picture is coming soon!
Allen frowned, and after a while, he resisted the urge to curse and typed a line of letters, Duke is still young, with his creative speed, there will be opportunities in the future.
What if next time? He's only 26!
Then, a piece of text abusing Oscar and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences broke out in the chat room, and the freedom, openness and timeliness of information flow on the Internet are all unquestionable.
Tim Robbins took the stage to accept the award. In Saving Private Ryan, everyone around him patted Duke's arms and back lightly as a sign of comfort. Duke could only accept the order and look towards the stage. The new best director who took over the golden man couldn't help but sigh that the other party was lucky. He tried his best to get rid of Mel Gibson, but instead he fulfilled Tim Robbins, and he didn't need to take his favor.
Mrs. Leah turned her head and looked at this side. She swallowed the comforting words she wanted to say. She understood her son's temperament. Duke's character was tenacious in his career. It will only make him more tenacious, and this failure is nothing at all.
Compared with these, she was more worried about Duke's private life, even though it was the first time she met the British actress next to her, the other person left her with a bad impression, and her intuition told her that this woman had too many ambitions, too many ideas, Too purposeful.
However, she didn't plan to say anything, because the occasion was wrong, and secondly, she believed that Duke knew what she was doing.
Duke made her mother proud in every way, but was as jerk as his father in her private life.
Seeing his mother looking at him, Duke smiled at her, indicating that he was fine, then turned to look at the stage, the awards ceremony had come to an end, and the most important awards were about to be awarded.
Whether Saving Private Ryan becomes the biggest winner tonight, or becomes the object of the media's sympathy the next day, depends on the final award.
Many people are eagerly waiting to see if the academy will cramp tonight, to see if those old men think life is too peaceful and want to make trouble for themselves.
Of course, in the minds of most people, there is no suspense about this award. In the promotion of the whole awards season, Saving Private Ryan has always been closely linked with the 50th anniversary of World War II, and won the consensus from the public to the media and the industry. 's approval.
Sidney Poitier, the first black actor in Oscar history, took to the stage as the guest of honor for Saving Private Ryan. This candidate seems to have been carefully considered by the Academy. After all, Saving Private Ryan has experienced some Black protests.
The black actor didn't talk too much, stood in front of the big screen and introduced the nominations, Mel Gibson and Bruce Davis in Braveheart, George Miller and Bill Rice in Pig Run Le, Charles Rowan and Robin Grande, Saving Private Ryan, Gaetano Daniel, The Postman, Lindsay Dolan, Sense and Sensibility.”
He opened the envelope with the fastest action, took out the card, glanced down, and read out the answer directly, Saving Private Ryan, Charles Rowan and Robin Grande, congratulations!
There was no hesitation this time, and the applause sounded immediately. Duke clapped his palms and stood up. After hugging Zeta Jones and his mother, he stretched his arms and gestured to the surroundings. The people around stood up one after another. , the crowd quickly spread to the audience like applause.
