MTL - Best Actor-v3 Chapter 125 As expected
"Michael Armt, "Little Sunshine"!" With the voice of the presenter, "Little Sunshine" screenwriter Armt stood up in disbelief, and then was ecstatic hug the people around you.
"Thank you very much, please forgive me, my voice is broken, I'm too excited, I'm not prepared at all..." When he went up to pick up the little golden man, his words were incoherent.
Understandably, Amt’s script was basically completed in 2002, but it has not been able to attract investment. In 2004, Focus intended to take over, but finally gave up, because I always felt that the content was too much Too bland, so in the end Sean and Samsara were cheaper. Of course, there is also the credit of Endeavour. They contributed to this matter, and all the staff, from actors to photographers, from props to lighting engineers, are all Endeavour.
Not light. Best Film, Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, and now the Best Original Screenplay, if any of them are taken out alone, it is quite difficult for an independent film, not to mention four and two. indivual.
The best movie is no need to think about it. With the deepening of the awards ceremony, Sean can basically be sure that if there is no butterfly effect, it should be The Departed After decades of trials and tribulations, he finally won best director.
Even so, for Endeavour, this is still a perfect answer, once again proving that this brokerage company established in 1997 will only become more and more prosperous.
Of course, the same is true for Samsara, although it is produced by Tang, but it is Samsara who is in charge of distribution. The films released have excellent results, and the distributors will also receive attention. But at this moment, in this place, the people on the Samsara side probably hope that "Babel Tower" or "Juno" can win the best movie. No matter how closely Tang's and Samsara are combined, they are always two companies.
Unfortunately, as I said before, according to my memory, "The Departed" should be the most likely to win. In this way, "Juno" is a pity. Although the nominated awards are also very important, best film, best director, best actress and best original screenplay, but the most promising, only A Best Original Screenplay.
Unfortunately, this award was taken by "Little Miss Sunshine". Compared with teen pregnancy movies, the Academy obviously prefers this inspirational road movie.
Sean didn't know that without him, "Juno" should have been released at the end of this year, and then won the best original screenplay at next year's Oscars. Fortunately, Diablo Coty didn't know either, otherwise, she would definitely fight Sean to the death.
"The winner of the best art direction is "Sweeney Todd"..." The voice on the stage called back Sean in a trance, then followed Burton and they got up to congratulate several creators .
This is the first time the crew of "Sweeney Todd" has won an award tonight. If you think about the list carefully, if you guess correctly, this is likely to be the only award for this movie tonight.
Thinking of this, Sean couldn't help but look to the other side, the "Pan's Labyrinth" crew had put away their disappointment, and they were also strong contenders for this award.
But they had already won Best Makeup before, so Sean felt that losing Best Art Direction wouldn't be a big deal.
Of course, this is from the perspective of fairness or dividing the cake. From a personal point of view, Sean still thinks that "Pan's Labyrinth" should win this award. "Sweeney Todd" played the leading role, but "Pan's Labyrinth" is its own movie, don't forget, reincarnation has funds such as money.
Speaking of this, and so on, and when The Departed was recommended to Scorsese, they also stepped in, so it is calculated that this year's Oscars can be compared with Samsara. There are at least five or six films directly related to the industry.
This is a remarkable feat, not to mention the second-tier production company, even the seven major studios, this is very rare.
Does this count as a complete establishment in Hollywood? Sean thought so, somewhat complacent. However, he quickly controlled his emotions and tried to find a way to win the Oscar for best film first. The box office is there, but the honor is still missing.
The production company that has won the best movie may not have a high status in Hollywood, but the production company with a status in Hollywood must have one or two golden statuettes.
And now, even if "The Departed" finally won the best movie, it has nothing to do with Samsara Pictures.
It's similar to Sean himself, isn't it? There is a box office and a reputation, but there is no honor. So he began to think that it would be good if he won the best actor tonight, even if he thought it was unlikely because of a series of factors before, he was really a fickle animal.
Fortunately, the reality soon gave him a vivid lesson. With the award for best actress, Helen, who played the still-reigning Queen Elizabeth II in "The Queen" Mirren - Poor Kate Winslet, once again missing out on the statuette, and losing out to her compatriots.
Apparently, like DiCaprio, she pays the Titanic again, but Sean has no sympathy for her at all, don't know why, he looks at her no matter what dislike; despise.
Let's not mention this, after the best actress is passed, it is naturally the best actor, and getting this golden statue is—
"Forrest Whitaker, The Last Dictator!" Last year's Best Actress winner Reese Witherspoon said her name.
Immediately, only this forty-year-old black actor with an excited avatar was left on the big screen. Accompanied by the soundtrack of "The Last Dictatorship", the audience in the hall began to applaud.
The fourth black actor.
Like that time in 2001, when the black actress and the best actor appeared together, it was a victory for skin color, not to mention that two black actors were nominated for the male lead this year.
But the most lost at this moment should probably be Will Smith, Peter Otto is used to it, DiCaprio is still paying off the debt, but Smith is dominated by skin color tonight, but Passing by with the little golden man is definitely not happy in my heart.
Actually, as long as you think about his so many high-grossing works, it's normal that you can't get them. That's how the Film Academy is. Speaking of which, the movie "Knock When Happiness Comes" that he nominated also has investment from Samsara Films. Because he worked with "The Love of All People" before, when Smith came to lobby for "Knock When Happiness" was produced later , Sean naturally let Vladimir agree after knowing it.
Think about it, if tonight's nominees for best movie were The Departed, Little Miss Sunshine, Juno, Babel, and Happiness Knocks or "Pan's Labyrinth", what an interesting scene.
Let's not mention this for the time being. Although the college hates to link the chance of winning with commercial value, this is their rule, and they cannot change the rules, so they can only abide by them.
As for the issue of skin color, this is actually a good thing. Since the wind of political correctness is blowing to this point, then next year may be very beneficial to Sean.
Not much to say about the best director and best film after that, Scorsese and his "The Departed" both won, which is a long-standing dream.
However, there are two episodes here. First, when the best director was awarded, the guest of honor was the other three of the four directors who were tied with Scorsese in the 1980s, that is, Francis Coppola, Steven Spielberg and George Lucas.
It can be seen that the Academy still pays more attention to Scorsese, and as soon as this lineup comes out, basically everyone knows who the winner of the best director will be.
The most interesting thing is that when Spielberg boasted that they were both best director winners, and Coppola helped to praise, George Lucas, who was caught in the middle, suddenly said something : "Wait guys, I wish I didn't win Best Director."
Then, after a two-second pause, Spielberg and Coppola exchanged glances, and they both walked to the other side of the stage, looking like "We don't know him", put Lu Cass is excluded.
There was a roar of laughter and applause in the hall, and even Sean couldn't help shaking his head and applauding, they were really entertaining.
George Lucas announced in a rage that he would no longer direct the movie himself after falling out with the union at the time because of the sequence of the subtitles. The song was broken, but he did not direct a movie for more than ten years, and only served as a producer in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series.
If he hadn't been so radical at the time, and directed a few more films like "American Graffiti", it might not have been impossible to win a best director's statue - well, maybe not Very high, the "Star Wars" series has brought him too much fame, and it is almost impossible for a sci-fi director to take this. Spielberg was quite close when he made "E.T" , unfortunately still lost to Richard Attenborough of "Gandhi".
But then again, who knows what will happen? As it is now, after not directing the film, his energy is all devoted to the research and development of special effects, so he is led by the brilliance of Industrial Light and Magic.
To be honest, for his sake, it doesn't matter if he wants the best director or not.
Scorsese was still a little excited when he delivered his speech. He said thank you several times, and asked Spielberg and the others to check the envelope to see if he really won the award. However, in this case, he still remembered Sean, and thanked him for recommending this movie in his speech, which made Sean quite flattered.
And then, in the second episode, when the best movie was awarded, Allen said a few words as usual and introduced the next candidate movies. Obviously Scorsese had said before that Sean recommended him a Hong Kong movie, but she just said it was a Japanese movie here. If it wasn't intentional, it would be too careless.
Sean doesn't know how many Chinese people watched this year's awards ceremony through the Internet or six channels, but he knew that they must be very upset at the moment.
