Hollywood Road

Chapter 363 Bombarding Li An

Holding the heavy statuette in one hand, Murphy unfolded the note with the other hand.

In order to make the awards ceremony more compact and improve the long-winded disadvantages of the Oscars, the Academy only gave each winner 40 seconds to deliver his acceptance speech.

"I'm sorry..." Murphy took the time to start his acceptance speech, but the first sentence was an apology, "I failed to achieve the set goal of breaking up 15 million couples and couples in North America."

There was a burst of laughter from below the stage, which was obviously a joke.

"However, I'm very happy to see that couples and couples have watched "Gone Girl" and can continue to walk hand in hand." Murphy turned to look at Gal Gadot's position, "So, I Standing here, I have to thank one person, the most important person in my life."

Although she didn't say her name directly, Gal Gadot knew that the person Murphy was talking about was herself. She covered her mouth, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she seemed very excited.

The first person Murphy thanked was her, which was enough to witness how important she was to him.

There was applause all around, which drove the whole theater to applause. Gal Gadot controlled his emotions, held back the water droplets in his eyes that wanted to rush out, and slapped his palms lightly.

With limited time, Murphy sped up his speech, "Thanks to the academy and the judges, this award is the best recognition for me."

He looked at the notes and said one by one, "Thanks to Bill Rossis, you are such a rare agent. Thanks to Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jonah- Hill, you're four assholes, but you're my brother. Thank you Charlize Theron, for bringing Amy to life. Thank you to every member of the crew, your support is the key to the success of this film .Thank you Kara Feith, you are my good teacher and helpful friend. Thank you my friend, you have been silently caring about me and supporting me..."

Since it is not easy to directly mention Rose's name, Murphy can only express it in this cryptic way.

"thanks!"

Murphy bowed slightly, took the time to end his acceptance speech, and walked into the backstage with Scarlett Johansson under the leadership of the master of ceremonies.

He and Scarlett Johansson didn't know each other, and the polite greetings had already been done on the stage, and there was no further exchange.

Backstage, Murphy accepted a routine interview from the organizer, said some clichés such as "I am very happy to win the award" and "Thank you for the recognition of the academy", and then returned to the theater.

The awards ceremony has come to an end.

This year's Oscars seem to be doomed not to let any movie become a real big winner, and the rhythm of dividing the cake is still going on. There is nothing on the heavyweight Best Actor and Best Actress awards.

"The list of nominees for Best Actor is..."

Hilary Swank cooperated with the big screen to introduce the list of nominations, "Philip Seymour Hoffman's "Capote", James Franco's "Gone Girl", Joaquin Phoenix's "Boundless", the big David Strathairn, Good Night and Good Luck..."

Listening to the list of nominations, James Franco was very calm compared to others. He knew very well that the possibility of winning was infinitely close to zero.

It is true that the final winner read from Hillary Swank was not him.

"The Oscar winner is Philip - Seymour Hoffman, Capote."

This actor, who can instantly kill James Franco in terms of age and qualifications, won the first Oscar statuette in his life.

However, compared to his dry acceptance speech, perhaps Jon Stewart's teasing is more interesting.

"Capote showed the nation that not all gays are cowboys, some are sissy New York intellectuals."

Everything is moving in the direction Murphy remembers, Reese Witherspoon won the Best Actress,

Another vase in Hollywood has completed its metamorphosis at the Oscars.

When Dustin Hoffman stood on the stage with a big envelope, it will be announced whether the Chinese can win the first Oscar for Best Director.

"The following five directors have produced wonderful films for us in the past year."

Listening to the list read by Dustin Hoffman, Murphy turned his head to look at the crew of "Brokeback Mountain". Ang Lee's face was tense, full of tension.

"Ann Lee's Brokeback Mountain, Murphy Stanton's Gone Girl, George Clooney's Good Night and Good Luck, Steven Spielberg's Munich, Paul Haggis' Crash... ..."

Looking back from the other side, Murphy felt Gal Gadot hold her hand, and she said comfortingly, "My dear, you are still young, there is always a chance."

"I understand." Murphy nodded slightly

Having said that, it is absolutely impossible for Murphy to be nominated for Best Director for the first time without being nervous or eager, even though he already knew that he would not be able to win the award.

"The best director winner is..." Dustin Hoffman didn't make people wait long, opened the envelope and read, "Ann-Lee's "Brokeback Mountain"!"

The applause sounded, and Murphy and Gal Gadot stood up slowly along with the people who stood up in the back row, clapped their palms lightly, and watched the first Chinese director walk onto the Oscar Best Director stage.

"The best director is now given to Ann Lee."

Looking at the director on the stage who was accepting the award and preparing to speak, Gal Gadot suddenly said softly, "Then according to the usual practice, the possibility of "Brokeback Mountain" winning the best picture should be very high."

"Honey." After sitting down, Murphy raised his index finger and shook it lightly a few times, "This time the meaning of Oscar's cake sharing is too obvious, and the chance of "Crash" will be greater, and the theme is more in line with Oscar's theme." taste."

Having said that, he became quiet, and Ang Lee began his acceptance speech.

"First of all, I would like to thank many people who were present and those who were not present..." Ang Lee continued after reading out a long list, "This movie is neither about homosexuality, women, love, but love itself. Thank you for your support, thank you My wife and son, I love you and I will always be with you. Although my father passed away unfortunately during this period, I would like to thank my mother in my family."

Speaking of this, he changed into Murphy's unusually friendly Chinese, "There are also compatriots in Taiwan, Hong Kong and the Mainland. Finally, thank you for your concern!"

Although it was a standard yellow-skinned white heart, Murphy was the first to clap his hands when he heard the last Chinese, and the applause was unusually loud.

Gal Gadot next to him knew him very well, and she couldn't help but glanced at Murphy in surprise. She could feel that Murphy's congratulations were from the heart, not a routine.

"Since when did he become interested in films like Brokeback Mountain?"

She was quite puzzled, but the best picture was about to be announced, so she shook her head and threw it away.

The award ceremony came to the end. When Jack Nicholson opened the envelope and read out the answer, the crew of "Crash" who participated in the award ceremony with the largest number of people burst into cheers. They staged a big reversal at the last moment and won the best picture statuette.

The Oscars are always the Oscars of the United States, and they will never be separated from the influence of politics and the main theme of the United States. "Crash" is a specimen-style Oscar proposition composition, suspense, thriller, racial issues, and human nature. It is a matter of course to win the best picture .

Don't forget, although there are a lot of gay groups out there supporting "Brokeback Mountain", there are also quite a few people who oppose it. The anti-gay alliance organized more than 100,000 signatures against the action, and Oscar can't turn a blind eye either.

Besides, "Crash" tells the story of racial confrontation in Los Angeles, and quite a few film academy judges are either from Los Angeles or live in the Los Angeles area. Under similar public relations conditions, how will these people make choices, One can imagine.

The Oscars ceremony came to an end, and Murphy won the first Oscar in his life, but many media questioned the best original screenplay statuette, thinking that "Gone Girl" beat "Crash", There must be something dark inside.

However, there are very few such voices, because the focus of the mainstream media is all on "Crash" and "Brokeback Mountain".

Unlike Murphy's entire team, which is very united, due to multiple factors such as the unequal distribution of spoils on the Oscars, the two crews have serious internal strife.

One of the producers of "Crash", Bob Early, was not selected to give a speech at the Academy Awards, and he even sued the Producers Union, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and the crew at the same time, because according to the Academy Awards According to the rules, the works that won the best picture award can only send two representatives to give a speech on stage. The producers union and the crew selected the screenwriter and director of the film, Paul Haggis, and another female producer, Kay. Sy - Schulman, so Yili failed to do so.

However, the 'plaintiff' Yili, who caused the trouble, and the female producer Sherman, who was also the defendant's speech on stage, later sued him for "fraud, breach of contract" and other reasons.

"Brokeback Mountain" did not go to court, but the lead actor and director directly turned against each other.

Heath Ledger, who starred in the leading role, was quite annoyed that he failed to win the best actor. He has a eccentric personality and directly bombarded director Ang Lee in the media, saying that he did not give him any help during the filming. He was also left aside, and he was not mentioned in the final acceptance speech.

In fact, there have been rumors of the discord between the crew, and many media have reported that Heath Ledger has stopped talking to Ang Lee since the promotional period.

However, Ang Lee had already won the best director statuette, and he didn't bother to haggle over this kind of thing. He didn't respond at all, and Heath Ledger soon died down without a slap.

But the turmoil caused by Oscar did not end there. The Federal Internal Revenue Service seemed to think it was not lively enough, so they also stepped in.

(Heath Ledger did blast Ang Lee.)
