Chapter 88 Dirty Talk and Emergencies

"Some birds can't be caged"

"You don't even want to call me Godfather!"

"Write down your own experiences that you can remember while you are young and spread them out."

"Never be homesick, never go home."

"One day when we look back, we will feel that Saving Private Ryan is a masterpiece we have completed in this war-torn era."

"I am willing to do anything for you, except betraying my own people."

"When God closes a door, he will open a window somewhere."

"Freedom!"

"With you, the world is more interesting. ”

In the Kodak Theater, special effects diamonds fell on the big screen, and each diamond represented a movie.

On the huge surface of the diamond, vivid movie characters told their stories.

"The Shawshank Redemption", "Papillon", "Cinema Paradiso", "Saving Private Ryan", "Ben-Hur", "The Sound of Music", "Brave Heart", "The Silence of the Lambs"

Finally, the diamonds fell one by one and piled up into a small mountain, and in the center of the mountain was the little golden man symbolizing the Oscar.

Then the host took the stage. The person who took this position this year was the actor, screenwriter and director Steve Martin.

He has been in the film industry for more than 20 years. He is a well-known comedian and an old friend of many people present. Seeing him When he appeared, many people stood up and applauded, giving him enough face.

The camera swept across the stage, and stars stood up one after another. Eric's seat was arranged in the first row near the aisle.

He didn't know Steve Martin, so he just clapped his hands symbolically, and the camera suddenly slid to him.

There was no choice but to smile and stand up from his seat and applaud.

Perhaps the organizing committee took into account his identity, he didn't have a crew, and it was his first time to participate, so they arranged a prominent position in the first row, but Eric didn't want to sit here.

Because this handsome face would definitely attract the camera frequently, which would make him very uncomfortable.

"Shit! Who arranged a seat for me, the guys from the academy!"

After applauding, everyone sat down again.

Steve Martin smiled and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you all, everyone knows that I didn't host last year because no one wanted me."

There was a chuckle from the audience.

"But this year I am back on this stage, and I know this is the result of everyone's support, of course, except France and Germany! "

As soon as this was said, the audience burst into laughter, because this was a naked mockery of war.

Although the United States claimed to have gathered 49 countries to launch a military strike against Iraq, so far, only the United States, Britain, Australia and Poland have actually participated in the war.

Germany and France, which are also members of the European Union and often wear pants with the United States, have expressed opposition and publicly condemned it, which can be said to be a slap in the face.

"Look at you, there are producers, directors, screenwriters and actors. If I were trapped here, I would eat you in order!"

The audience laughed again. This was also a joke, mocking the power of the crew. Generally speaking, the producer is the boss and the actor is the worst.

At the same time, the camera also gave Spielberg, Martin Scorsese, Harvey Weinstein, Eric and other producers or directors.

"Damn, why did you put me in the same frame with Weinstein!" Eric clapped his hands and complained.

"Shit! Why did you put me in the same frame with that kid from MGM? He doesn't deserve to sit in that position! "Harvey Weinstein also laughed and thought to himself.

Since the Coopers took over MGM, it seems that they have been fighting with Miramax, either rushing the release date or cutting the box office.

Once was accidental, twice was accidental, but it happened several times in a row, and the Weinstein brothers naturally felt that they were deliberately targeted.

But the truth is that the Coopers did not specifically target him.

Although Eric knew the character of this guy, if the other party did not provoke him, he would not have nothing to do to make enemies for himself. After all, Disney was behind Miramax.

So it can only be said that Weinstein The Weinstein brothers are just unlucky. The schedule is so crowded. I can't wait. Then everyone can only compete.

What! You asked me to avoid you and compete with "The Lord of the Rings". Why the hell didn't you go?

Especially after the release date of "Transformers" was announced, the gunpowder smell between the Coopers and the Weinstein brothers has gradually ignited.

On the stage, Steve Martin continued to make jokes.

"This year is the 75th Oscars. Looking back, the first Oscars was held on the street next door, inside the Roosevelt Hotel."

"You can go out and see it. Just walk past Hollywood Boulevard and bypass the prostitutes. Sorry, it should be Pretty Woman, and then you can see it. In 1929, all the big stars gathered there, except John Wade. ”

This time, the audience laughed even more happily, and the camera was even given to several black stars, who clapped with their mouths wide open.

The reason was that black people were not allowed to enter the Oscars that year, and this joke was naturally making fun of racism.

After telling a few political and social jokes, Steve Martin also restrained himself. After all, it was during the war, and he started to make fun of celebrities.

Ben Affleck, Will Smith, Tobey Maguire and others were all made fun of.

"Nicole Kidman, she is also here today. I suddenly remembered a rumor about her. It turns out that she has been wearing a prosthetic nose in acting, except for "The Hours"."

The footage was immediately given to the crew of "The Hours". During the filming, Nicole Kidman made a fuss about her nose in order to fit the character prototype as much as possible.

After watching it, many viewers said they could not find her in the movie, which sparked heated discussions at the time.

After being teased, Nicole Kidman covered her mouth with one hand and lowered her head, waving her other hand to signal not to make fun of me.

Meryl Streep and Julian Moore, who were in the same cast, clapped their hands and laughed.

At this Oscar, the most lively cast is probably "The Hours". All three actresses were shortlisted and started fighting among themselves.

Nicole Kidman is competing with Julian Moore for Best Actress, and Julian Moore is competing with Meryl Streep for Best Supporting Actress.

However, the three nominated films are all different. Nicole Kidman is nominated for "The Hours", Julian Moore is nominated for "Far From Heaven", and Meryl Streep is nominated for "Adapted Screenplay".

"Nicole, don't lower your head, because you look great."

"Then there is our new head Eric Cooper. He is the director of "Transformers" that countless people are looking forward to, and there is a mystery about him, that is, does he know how to direct?"

The camera showed Eric for the second time, and chuckles echoed around him. He could hear the Peter Jackson guy laughing the loudest.

In this case, it is natural to do something, either to cooperate with some antics, or to decline politely like Nicole Kidman.

But Eric certainly wouldn't give in. He pointed to his eyes at the camera and gave two thumbs up.

The meaning is self-evident, let's wait and see, I will give you a good look.

OH

Seeing Eric make this move, the scene that was just chuckling suddenly became boiling.

No one doesn't like to watch the excitement. The bigger the brand, the more people like to watch it. From the perspective of the stars at the scene, Eric Cooper's statement was very interesting.

If the movie is well made, even if it is only at a passing level, it will be enough to silence the media.

But if the filming is not good, I'm sorry, today's incident will include your past remarks, you will be dug up and whipped to death, those media will not care about your identity, they will mock you when they should.

At this moment, many people are laughing in their hearts, such as Harvey Weinstein and Jack Nicholson. The second generation of rich people really take it for granted and regard making movies as a game.

But some people think that young people should be like this, full of vitality and challenges, such as Nicole Kidman, Adrien Brody, Edward Norton, and Natalie Portman.

Besides, Eric is so handsome, what’s wrong with being a little arrogant?

If I had his wealth and good looks, I would be more arrogant than him.

On the stage, Steve Martin laughed. He was just teasing, but he didn't expect the other party to take the job.

"Eric Cooper, he took on those media challenges and I'm going to give you a good look and remember this day!"

"The happiest thing in the world is to strive for an ideal!"

Then Steve Martin joked about a series of people, things, organizations, and hot topics such as homosexuality, the Mafia, and Roman Polanski.

Compared with twenty years later, public opinion is indeed relatively relaxed now.

“Okay, I know my jokes suck, so let’s leave it at that and invite Cameron Diaz to present the award for Best Animated Feature.”

With melodious music playing in the background, the beautiful Cameron Diaz took to the center of the stage.

"With the progress of the times, animation technology has become better and better. In the past, parents took their children to watch, but now children take their parents to watch, and everyone, regardless of age or gender, enjoys it."

"I will present the award for Best Animated Feature Film below. The shortlisted films include Chris Wedge of "Ice Age", Chris Sanders and Dean DeBroy of "Lilo and Stitch", "My Little Pony" Rhett" Kelly Asbury, Rhona Cooke, "Spirited Away" Ron Clements, "Spirited Away" Hayao Miyazaki."

Cameron Diaz opened the white envelope and announced: "Winner Hayao Miyazaki, Spirited Away."

The theater burst into applause, but Hayao Miyazaki refused to attend because he opposed the US invasion of Iraq, and the award was accepted on his behalf.

Then Keanu Reeves presented the Best Visual Effects Award, which was won by Gollum from "Lord of the Rings".

Best Supporting Actor went to Chris Cooper for "Adapted Screenplay".

Best editing, best sound, best costume design, and best art direction were all won by "Chicago."

The crew of "Chicago" has also become the busiest crew so far. The public relations effect is obvious, and Harvey Weinstein can't stop laughing.

There were also singing and dancing performances and other entertainment programs interspersed in the middle, but to be honest, Eric found it a bit boring.

Just like my dad said, without your works, why would you go there? My butt is sore after sitting for three or four hours.

Moreover, some useless technical awards cannot attract attention. Everyone is waiting for the weight award later.

Seeing Eric yawn, Nicolas Cage, who was sitting next to him, leaned his head over.

"Kind of boring, huh?"

Eric looked at him in surprise.

"More boring than Windtalkers, right?"

"puff"

The sudden swearing made Eric laugh out loud, attracting the attention of the people around him.

The two hurriedly adjusted their posture, but the photographer was very sharp and decisively captured them again.

It was time to present the Best Supporting Actress award, and Matthew McConaughey walked up, and this award with some weight brought everyone's attention back.

As a result, the Best Supporting Actress award was once again won by Catherine Zeta-Jones of "Chicago", who went on stage to receive the award with a big belly.

So far, "Chicago" has won 5 Oscars, which can be said to be the biggest winner on the field.

Then Eminem showed his power, and the theme song "Lose Myself" of "8 Mile" won the Oscar for Best Original Song, becoming the first rap song to win an Oscar.

At this moment, the award ceremony came to the Best Foreign Language Film segment.

This year's nominees include "The Sins of Father Amaro" Mexico, "Heroes" China, "The Man Without a Past" Finland, "Zus & Zo" Netherlands, and "Capernaum" Germany.

The camera swept over, and Eric also looked over. Zhang Yimou was sitting with two strangers.

As for actors such as Jet Li, Tony Leung, and Maggie Cheung, none of them were seen. Although each crew had limited places, it was really hard to understand the operation of not bringing any actors.

As a result, Eric already knew that "Hero" lost the Oscar, and the Best Foreign Language Film was awarded to the German film "Capernaum".

To be honest, Eric admired the movie "Hero" very much. It was indeed well shot, especially the color scheduling and big scenes, which maintained Zhang Yimou's consistent level.

But in this era, it has been criticized for its thin plot and sparse editing. Eric felt that it was a bit unfair.

In the camera, as the results were announced, Zhang Yimou also applauded. As for what he thought in his heart, no one knew.

Then several technical awards were issued, and the party reached its climax.

The Best Actor was won by Adrien Brody, who defeated Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Michael Caine and Nicolas Cage, and became the youngest Oscar winner at the age of 29.

Adrien Brody was extremely excited, and he probably didn't expect to win the award. After he went on stage, he hugged the award presenter, Black Pearl Halle Berry, and kissed her fiercely, which made the latter stunned.

Then he gave a speech and called for an end to the war and world peace as he said in the interview before.

The theater also cheered and offered blessings to the youngest actor.

This time Adrien Brody won the award, which was definitely a surprise. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was affected by the war, and it could be said that he took advantage of the right time and place.

After the Best Actor, the Best Actress award was presented.

Denzel Washington strode onto the stage, and as he spoke, the big screen began to play the works of the best actresses of all time, and many of them were even sitting below.

Katharine Hepburn, Vivien Leigh, Ingrid Bergman, Audrey Hepburn, Meryl Streep, Jodie Foster, Susan Sarandon, Halle Berry, Gwyneth Paltrow

Okay, the last one can be removed.

The nominees for the Best Actress Oscar are: "Salma Hayek for Frida, Diane Lane for Unfaithful, Julianne Moore for Far From Heaven, Renée Zellweger for Chicago, Nicole Kidman for The Hours."

Five charming women on the big screen each play a role.

Denzel Washington gently opened the envelope: "The winner is Nicole Kidman, who narrowly beat her by a nose."

Instantly, the theater burst into applause, and everyone around gave Nicole Kidman hugs and blessings.

She couldn't hold back her smile at all, and a few stars had already flowed from the corners of her eyes. She stood up and hugged the crew, then walked through the crowd to the stage.

But at this moment, an accident happened.

Just as Kirsten Dunst said, stumbling is the enemy of every female star.

Perhaps because she was too excited, Nicole Kidman walked very fast, and her heel accidentally stepped on the hem of her black skirt, and she instantly lost her balance and fell to the ground.
