"The winner of the 79th Academy Award for Best Art Direction is...'Fury Road'. Tian Lai's Novel『』⒉"
The production crew of "Fury Road" on the right stood up collectively. There were more than forty people in a mighty state, and Gawain, Hayden and others could be vaguely seen whistling and waving their fists, cheering and cheering for the entire production crew, celebrating With their first win of the night, joy and joy filled the warm air.
"Fury Road" took off the first statuette tonight and made a good start. This can't help but remind people of last year's awards ceremony: Nicole Kidman also presented the award, and Lance's crew also won the award— Last year Nicole brought Lance the best supporting actor award, and this year Nicole brought the best production direction award for "Fury Road".
Lance raised his hands and clapped, and smiled at Nicole. Nicole seemed to understand the deep meaning in Lance's eyes, and blinked in response.
The applause at the scene was unexpectedly hot, and the thunderous sound echoed in the Kodak Theater, stirring up waves. This was a bit too enthusiastic for the first award at the beginning, let alone a technical award. Amid the applause, Colin Gibson and Newton Siegel walked onto the stage hand in hand.
The two received the statuette trophy from Daniel. Colin, as a representative, stepped forward to give a speech. He took out a card from his pocket. Obviously, the acceptance speech had been written in advance, which aroused goodwill on the scene. "First of all, I must thank the Academy for awarding this award and realizing my dream." Colin looked up and looked down the stage, "Secondly, I must express my gratitude to Mr. Strelo for his willingness to ..." Before the words were finished, there were sporadic whistles at the scene, which caused a burst of laughter, and Colin couldn't help but smile, "Thank you for his willingness to listen to my shocking ideas, and for the leadership of Newton. With the help of the lighting team, it became a reality, and thank you for all his hard work for the entire film, so that my work has been recognized."
Lance raised his right hand, pointed to Colin, and then pointed to himself. Colin immediately understood and showed a big smile, "As for the fact that he also participated in the art direction work, I refuse to admit it." Now, the laughter sounded again, "Finally, I have to thank my family for their support all the time, the period of filming in the desert was so difficult, the director was like a lunatic, Without their support, I would not be able to complete the work." The laughter couldn't stop at all, and although the time was very tight, the director still cut the shot of Lance, and on the screen, Emma was whispering something to Lance , with a bright smile on his face, it seems that he should be talking about interesting things during the shooting.
The short award acceptance speech lasted less than thirty seconds, and then it was over. In order to make the award ceremony more compact, now aBc TV station will precisely pinch the time during the broadcast process. If the winners are unwilling to leave, they will even play music directly to urge them to end their speeches.
Colin and Newton raised the statuettes in their hands again, then joined Daniel and Nicole and left the stage from the side stage.
The awards ceremony then continued. Generally speaking, most of the technical awards will be awarded in the first half, occasionally mixed with awards for supporting roles or screenplays, as well as short films and documentaries. It's for ratings and to create more suspense. Tonight, although the tradition of leading the supporting role award was broken, the technical award was still the main theme of the first half.
Obviously, in the competition for the awards in the technical department, "Fury Road" showed an excellent competitive state. After winning the best art director award, in the competition for the best makeup department, "Fury Road" defeated "Pan's Labyrinth" and "Apocalypse" for second trophy of the night; then beat out "Letters from Iwo Jima," "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" and "Blood Diamond" in best sound editing Waiting for strong competitors to win the third statuette; then the best sound effect award was written with the name of "Fury Road" again, and the big hit "Dream Girl" regrettably lost.
In the blink of an eye, the number of statuettes in "Road of Fury" has risen to four. The absolute strength is overwhelming, showing a domineering aura that no one can shake! Such a situation of sweeping thousands of troops was unexpected, but it was reasonable.
Several of the big hits of this year's awards season, "Babel," "Little Miss Sunshine," "The Queen," and "The Departed," barely have any competition in the technical department, and they can't stand up to "Fury Road." , and even nominations are few and far between. Works that really show resistance in the technical department, "Dreamgirls", "Letters from Iwo Jima", "Pirates of the Caribbean 2", "Apocalypse", "Blood Diamond", "Sons of Men" and so on are subject to their own The stereotype of quality, what's more, the on-site special effects team of "Fury Road" has indeed demonstrated the maturity and sophistication of contemporary technology. In terms of technology alone, it is also a rare opponent. The only one who can form a confrontation is "Pan Shen". maze".
Whether it is the word-of-mouth of professional film critics or the strength in the second half of the awards season, "Pan's Labyrinth" can be said to be the only option that can beat "Fury Road" during the awards season.
The technical department is different from other departments, because of the particularity of the technical department, it requires a very professional quality, and most actors can't tell the difference between sound effects editing and sound effects, so actors, screenwriters, and producers are very few Will vote, directly leave the options of the technical department to those professionals to choose, which also means that the technical department is always more professional and purer. In other words, the Academy PR during awards season had a very weak impact on the technology department, which also created the conditions for "Pan's Labyrinth" to beat "Fury Road".
But it is a pity that "Pan's Labyrinth" failed to create miracles after all. After losing the two awards for best makeup and best art direction, everything fell into the control of "Fury Road".
A quarter of the award ceremony has passed. Among the six awards announced so far, except for the best animated short film and the best documentary short film, "Fury Road" is among the four nominations. , successfully dominated the first half of tonight's event, and undoubtedly became the top seed for tonight's best picture. This suddenly made the award ceremony look good, not because "Fury Road" is strong enough, but whether "Babel" and "Infernal Walker" can stand out and form a confrontation, or just watch "Fury Road" take a ride. Juechen, no matter what kind of trend it is, this means that the suspense of each award will be more thrilling and exciting.
Unknowingly, people have forgotten the emotions of surprise, shock, surprise, surprise, etc., and take it for granted that "Fury Road" deserves it all. Not because of the strong performance of "Fury Road" in this year's awards season, but because of Lance standing behind this movie!
Almost every work of Lance can surprise people, from mature and unconventional techniques, to profound and delicate themes, to vivid and vivid characters, even a business with a strong personal style like "Sin City" The work also shows Lance's greatness as a director. The excellence of "Fury Road" once again proved his ability as a director among the halls. Tonight's Oscar award is just one of the footnotes to Lance.
Only four awards in the technical department have been awarded, and the guests at the scene have already felt the powerful momentum of "Lord of the Rings 3" three years ago. Could it be that history will embark on a very similar development track again? Such expectations and apprehensions must be temporarily put aside, because the next award does not come from the technical department, but the first major department award tonight: Best Supporting Actor.
Last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Rachel Weisz stepped onto the stage under the eyes of all eyes! The restlessness at the scene obviously began to boil, showing more surging expectations than the technical department.
There is actually only one highlight of this year's best supporting actor department: Eddie Murphy. Can this generation of superstar who has been in American comedy movies for 20 years break through the shackles and win his first Oscar statuette?
Oscar has always been harsh on comedians~www.novelbuddy.com~ There was Charlie Chaplin who regretted his whole life, then Jim Carrey who was repeatedly ignored, and of course Bill Murray, like Jack Lemmon () It is rare in history to win an Oscar statuette for a comedy performance. The teasing of Steve Carell at the beginning is actually hinting at this point.
So did Eddie. This year, public opinion generally believes that this is Eddie's only chance to win an Oscar, if he fails, he wins, and if he misses it, he will never have it again. In the pre-Oscar awards season, Eddie almost swept the army and led the way. The strongest competitor is undoubtedly "The Departed", but Mark Wahlberg, Jack Nicholson , Even Leonardo DiCaprio later joined in, leading to internal vote counting, which also made Eddie's glory in the awards season.
On top of the Oscars, Mark Wahlberg of "The Departed" and Michael Fassbender of "Fury Road" are undoubtedly Eddie's biggest competitors, but neither has a high winning percentage.
Now, people are wondering, will this year's Oscars break through? Not only rewarding such extraordinary works as "Fury Road", but also rewarding non-professional works such as Eddie Murphy, Jennifer Hudson, and "Little Miss Sunshine"? All of this is suspense. Perhaps from the award trend of the supporting actor department, we can get a glimpse of the development of the best picture-do the academy judges have the courage to break through?
At the same time, another suspense was born at the scene tonight: "Fury Road" has achieved a 100% winning rate among the four nominations so far, which reminds people of "Lord of the Rings 3". Relying on "City of God" broke the monopoly of "Lord of the Rings 3", so what about this time? Can Lance's own works continue this winning rate?
The awards ceremony really started to get interesting.
