King of Hollywood

Chapter 136 Ecstasy and Resentment

Best Visual Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Editing... The technical awards were handed out one by one, but Adrian didn't care at all, and even occasionally lost his mind, even though these awards were all awarded by "Lord of the Rings 1" and "Moulin Rouge" was divided up, and it was only a little more serious when the best supporting actor and actress and the best soundtrack were awarded.

Not to mention the former, Naomi is nominated for an Oscar for the first time, although the chance of winning the award is very small, but it is still unclear who will win the prize without "A Beautiful Mind". But the final result was the same as Adrian's guess, except for Naomi, Marisa Tomei had already won Best Supporting Actress once, and Maggie Smith—that is, Professor McGonagall—female Both leading role and supporting actress won, and there was Brenda Hind, who was also nominated for the first time like Naomi, so Helen Mirren won the award.

What's interesting is that both Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith were nominated for Best Supporting Actress for "Gosford Manor". This is just right, and some points have given Adrian a little light, so that he is not particularly outstanding.

As for Best Supporting Actor, although McKellen got a nomination for "Lord of the Rings 1", unfortunately, like Best Film, Best Director, and Best Actor and Actress, it is basically impossible to win these awards with unrealistic works. It is impossible, so Jim Broadbent of "Life Together" still got it.

It's nothing. For McKellen, it doesn't matter whether he has this award, even if he is still somewhat unwilling. As for Naomi, oh, Adrian also has arrangements, don't worry.

What caught his attention the most was the best soundtrack. Although 80% of the soundtrack of "Lord of the Rings 1" is different from the original version, the atmosphere and magnificence are still very prominent. Hans Zimmer spent a lot of effort on it, and many scores were revised three or four times before finalizing of. Although there are many excellent soundtrack masters in Hollywood. But Adrian has always liked Zimmer, that's why he was hired to be Universal's music director, so this time he was appointed to be in charge of the soundtrack of "Lord of the Rings 1".

Therefore, when the award presenter announced that the winner was Hans Zimmer, Adrian stood up and applauded first, and Zimmer hugged him tightly before going up.

"Thank you to the judges of the Film Academy, my family, and my friends. You have given me countless supports..." Ji Mo couldn't help expressing his gratitude in various ways, and then expressed his dedication as a soundtrack composer Proud, and described this "great" job, and finally said: "Also. Thanks to Mr. Adrian Cowell, I put you alone at the end because I really admire you. You are a good at A person who mobilizes other people's emotions, although you are too fond of pointing fingers, it has now been proven. Your opinions are all correct, and it is my honor to cooperate with you."

This wěn is exactly the same as those last year. It is a relief that Zimmer is still the first person to put Adrian at the end of this Oscar so far. Looking through the list, the situation like last year should not happen again.

next. The two awards related to sound effects went to "Black Hawk Down" and the other to "Pearl Harbor", although Michael Bay directed and produced this World War II film. Even the heroine who was originally praised is a bit out of everyone's eyes-how can Amy Adams compare with Kate-but the explosion scene is his specialty after all, especially the spiral perspective of the bomb falling, which is indeed a classic , Naturally, the grasp of sound effects is also very good, and it is not a problem to get a sound effect editor.

As for "Black Hawk Down", frankly speaking, this is a good movie. After getting the script from Adrian, Scott began to study it. He spent a lot of effort on it, but unfortunately it was born at an untimely time. , encountered the 911 terrorist attacks before it was released. The Somalia incident in 1994 made the Americans lose face, but this year they were accidentally hit hard at home. No one wants to relive a history of failure in the cinema. Therefore, although the movie has a good reputation, the box office is quite good. It's a pity that it's mediocre, and it's only a best director nomination for Oscar.

The subsequent awards did not come as a surprise to many people. The best adapted screenplay was taken away by "A Beautiful Mind" without any suspense, while the best original screenplay was handed over to "Gosford Manor", and then the best soundtrack was awarded to Pixar's new animated film "Monsters, Inc."

However, to Adrian's surprise, the first winner of the Academy's newly established Best Animated Feature Film Award was a completely unexpected work. Because the Film Academy only established the Best Animated Feature Film award at the 74th Oscar, he knew very well that the first animation to win this award was DreamWorks' Shrek. Although the DreamWorks Animation Department and Pixar insist on different styles of laughing and tearing for all ages, this animation is very pleasing to the various ridicules and reversals of traditional animation, so it is no wonder that it is favored by the judges.

But now it is different, the winner of this award is "Ice Age" by Blue Sky Studio! Well, the first part of "Ice Age" is indeed very interesting. It is also a variety of reversals, such as primitive humans who cannot speak, cannot communicate with mammoths, giant clawed sloths, and saber-toothed tigers, or in large ice blocks. The history of the evolution of the ground sloth, etc., and the squirrel chasing the pine cone is also very eye-catching, but... It seems that it is always impossible to win the best animated feature film.

Well, this is just a psychological effect. After all, I remember that "Ice Age" should be released next year. So Adrian just laughed it off, and Blue Sky Studio did a good job, and in this way, he got closer to his goal.

The awards have almost been handed out, and the most important awards are about to appear. The guests who laughed at Goldberg's funny appearance before also packed up and began to look forward to the final result, and Adrian was no exception. Oh, of course, until then, the usual routine should be done.

With a bang, the bathroom was opened roughly, and a woman was shoved in by someone grabbing her arm, looking extremely reluctant. She didn't stop until she leaned against the wall, and the man who pushed him in slowly put a cleaning sign on the handle and locked the door, then pulled her up and pressed her onto the washstand.

The woman crawling on top seemed to let out a low cry. The body was slightly tense, and even the upturned tún covered by the black skirt trembled slightly, looking very yuhuòxìng.

The man let out a satisfied sigh, and immediately lifted the hem of his skirt. There is no bottom hole between the separated legs, and the place is already slightly wet. Like the villains in all movies, the man unzipped the zipper proudly, then leaned over and pressed the woman from behind. After a few foreplays, he pushed forward, and the woman crawling on the washstand hummed softly She made a sound, but she bit her lip and chún with a sad face, like a woman in a movie who was ready to be insulted but dared not speak out.

Rachel is really getting better at acting. During the exercise, Adrian praised loudly in his heart. The reason he chose her for a toilet romance at the 74th Academy Awards. The thing is that Rachel knows exactly how to please herself, how to provoke the ravishing impulse in his heart, and she seems to be used to reaching the peak of happiness in such a state, which is really wonderful. Even though this was the result of a mistake, Adrian didn't want to have too much interaction with her at the beginning, but it was precisely because of this that he had more fun.

Although the "ravaged" was very pleasant, and after finishing the work, he stayed tenderly for a while before leaving, but Adrian still caught up with the award of the best director.

"The best director was awarded first. If I stayed a little longer, wouldn't I just miss it?" After returning to his seat, he pulled his bow tie and said in an emotional tone, with relaxed satisfaction on his face.

So Nicole next to her snorted and didn't speak. Everyone knew what he was doing, if she had a good face, she would have encountered a ghost. Fortunately, the award presenters on the stage quickly drew everyone's attention. After introducing the nominated directors one by one, he opened the envelope in his hand.

"Ron Howard!" through the loudspeaker. The winner's name was read out loud, and immediately, the soundtrack of "A Beautiful Mind" sounded, and there was applause, and Howard stood up excitedly and waved his arms.

In contrast, both "Black Hawk Down" and "Gosford Manor" received mediocre responses, and the applause was sparse, especially for the crew of "Gosford Manor", Robert Altman is already 76 years old. This is probably the last time he hits the Oscar. It's a pity that this award was not transferred by his will, and it was still won by Howard.

"Thank you, thank you everyone." After getting the statuette, Howard immediately began to thank him enthusiastically. Although Adrian was also among them, but there was no single thank you like before or last year. This made many people relax again. Take a breath, so far only Ji Mo has done this.

Adrian just clapped his hands to congratulate Howard, and when Howard went up, he got up to shake hands with him and patted his shoulder. He never thought about getting the best director this year, and what he wanted was much more than this.

After the best director, it was the best actor and actress who made all the actors the most nervous, especially the few candidates who kept making small moves. Looking at the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Chocolate", Gwyneth's attention has been focused on the stage, while Sophie's fingers are unconsciously rubbing back and forth on her chún. Derian hinted at a lot of Nicole, and his breathing was a little short. Only the crew of "BJ's Single Days" was a little far away, and Rachel couldn't be seen. However, she just went to the bathroom to have sex before, so the reaction shouldn't be obvious.

Soon, as the last Best Actor winner Russell Crowe took the stage, during his introduction, the appearances of several candidates were displayed on the screen, be it Nicole or Gwyneth, Whether it was Sophie, they both smiled and kept smiling, but Rachel seemed a little reluctant. But the calmest was the little girl from New Zealand, Caesar Custer-Hughes. She probably knew that she basically couldn't win the award, so her smile was very sincere.

"Okay, let's see who our winners are..." Crowe opened the envelope, and the atmosphere in the hall instantly became solemn. Even Adrian, who was always present, could not help but squeeze his fists, even though he spent A lot of effort has been made to let Weinstein carry out activities early, but as he often said to reporters, no one can be sure of the final result until the last second.

Raising his eyebrows, Crowe finally pronounced the name: "Moulin Rouge, Nicole Kidman!"

After about two seconds of silence, cheers full of joy and exclamations of disbelief rang out at the same time. Nicole covered her mouth even more, and looked at Crowe on the stage with wide eyes. Adrian also breathed a sigh of relief at this time, Weinstein did a good job, and it is not in vain that he handed over the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series to Miramax. Then. He stood up during the background music of "Moulin Rouge" to express his congratulations, and by the way, he looked at the crew of "A Beautiful Mind". Derian didn't even notice when she was looking at her, so one can imagine how huge this blow was to her.

Seems like it's been a while? Adrian had never seen her like this before, and he couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart. Then a smile floated up from the corner of his mouth, which happened to be moved to tonight, but... Before he could finish thinking, Nicole had already thrown herself into his arms with a fragrant breeze. She opened her arms and hugged him tightly without any scruples.

There was another burst of exclamation. Although the volume was much lower than before, there were quite a few people who made the sound. It's normal, even Adrian was taken aback by her actions. After all, in addition to the thousands of people present at the moment, there are millions of people watching in front of the TV cameras.

Fortunately, it only lasted seven or eight seconds before Nicole let go, and then hugged the person next to her again. Although everyone knew she was covering up, they continued to applaud. Then. Nicole with a blushing face brushed her hair around her ears, and walked onto the stage with her skirt lifted. Even though she had stabilized her emotions, the corners of her mouth were still trembling, and her eye sockets were slightly red.

"Thank you," she took a deep breath after taking the statuette representing the best actress from Crowe, "I really can't think of anything else to say except this, thank you very, very much to the academy, thank them for making This trophy was given to me and all the hard work for this movie over the past year was worth it. Thanks to everyone who helped me, this honor belongs to me and more to you, thank you Ed, you are the best director!"

The voice of the last sentence is particularly high, which can almost be seen as an invisible show of love, so that many people are applauding and maliciously guessing how Cruise will feel when he sees this scene.

Although Adrian applauded, he didn't think about it. Cruise didn't attend this year's Oscars. He asked his agent to let the news out after the nomination list came out. He probably didn't want to be asked questions that would annoy him. Now it seemed that his decision was correct, otherwise, seeing Nicole's eloquent speech, it would be difficult to guarantee that he would not make some radical moves.

But even if he is here, Adrian doesn't need to care about him, let alone not here now. So he just looked at the crew of "A Beautiful Mind" again. Gwyneth is feeling better now, at least there is a smile on her face, but she turned her head away after noticing Adrian's gaze Go, obviously this time the resentment is not small.

Adrian, who had already thought about it in his heart, chuckled lightly, and ignored it for the time being.

After Nicole successfully climbed to the top, needless to say, the next two awards, although Russell Crowe performed very well in "A Beautiful Mind", this year the United States needs to unite, so it was finally awarded to the seniority competition Will taller Denzel Washington. Then, according to the usual practice most of the time, although "The Lord of the Rings 1" is very good and got 13 nominations in one go, it is an unrealistic work after all, not to mention that there are two more films to be released in the next two years, so it is still "A Beautiful Mind" won best film.

Although Universal's investment accounted for the majority, it was DreamWorks people who went up to accept the award, which made everyone completely relieved. Finally, this year's Oscars did not have the same situation as last year, when someone did not go up, but the winners of several important awards thanked him one after another, and the best film competition was fighting a civil war, which is a good thing.

"It really shouldn't be. I think "The Lord of the Rings" deserves the best director and best movie. This is the best fantasy movie I have ever seen!" Among the lively crowd, Will Smith was so big Shout.

"Come on, Will, I think you're just unconvinced and want to take advantage of Ed's incident to vent your dissatisfaction." His wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, gave her husband a blank look.

"More than that, he obviously hopes to make Ed happy and give him another chance to compete for the best actor." Bruce Willis, who was standing together, joked.

"If you want, Will, I can lend you the statuette to show off. Of course, it's only for a few minutes." Denzel Washington laughed beside him.

"Okay, okay, I admit that I want to please Ed, but not for the best actor," Will had to raise his hand, "I just want to play a small role in "The Matrix", oh , Ed, I know "The Matrix" has been closed, but you really don't plan to retake some shots? Even if I play an agent who is killed when he comes out."

"Unfortunately, Will, there are plenty of other characters, but the last two parts of "The Matrix" have indeed been sealed." Adrian said frankly, and then changed the subject: "Speaking of which, I'm a big fan of "The Lord of the Rings". I really have the idea of ​​​​reshooting, if you want, you can come and play a half-orc or something."

There was a burst of laughter all around, and Will raised his hands helplessly.

Adrian knows that Will likes "The Matrix" very much, and he also thought about letting him play a guest role or something, but there are too few scenes, and it's not interesting if it's just a glimpse. The limelight is in full swing. So after thinking about it carefully, he decided to forget it, and he didn't even invite his wife to play the role, and the role was given to Halle Berry—well, he admitted that it was to hurry up and play more with Black Pearl.

There is no doubt that this is the "Vanity Fair" party, the same annual, the same cannot be absent. Q! .
