The quiet Kodak Theater was full of tension, and everyone saw Witherspoon. Opening the envelope, he read: "The winner is... Heath Ledger, "The Dead."

"Wow——", "Huhu——" The Kodak Theater suddenly went into a boil, with continuous applause and cheers. The camera zoomed in on the second frame.

Jessica and others next to him were laughing and applauding.

Incredible! After Geoffrey Rush, he is another Australian actor; he is also the youngest person to win the Oscar for Best Actor!

"Wow, uh, thank you!" Heath Ledger took the statuette from Witherspoon. He was so overwhelmed that he couldn't speak at all. It was unbelievable! Although someone suggested to him to read and write a good speech, he didn't want to do something so uncool, but now he was really speechless! Facing the gazes of thousands of people, he almost wanted to walk directly backstage. After looking at the people on the "Dead" side, he calmed down, adjusted his mood, and slowly began to thank.

"Uh, thank you! I loved acting. When I was a kid... I couldn't have imagined that today, I would be standing here. I really want to thank Flame Films. They gave me a lot of roles that every actor dreams of; thank you Academy, thank you Hong Kong Film "Infernal Affairs," they wrote such a good story; thank you to everyone on the "Departed" crew, you are so good, Young, Michael, Jack Nicholson..."

Under Luo Luo's hesitation, Heath did not say any touching words, but he did thank many people. He looked down at the trophy and said: "I really want to thank Wang Yang in particular, thank Wang Yang!" Live broadcast footage To Wang Yang, who was grinning in the audience, Heath said: "I can't express clearly how much I thank you and admire you. I still want to cooperate with you for ten years, twenty years... for the rest of my life, thank you!"

This is really an exciting scene for movie fans. The youngest Oscar-winning director at the age of 27, and the youngest Oscar-winning actor at the age of 28. There is no doubt that everything has just begun. Both the 37 and 47-year-olds will be in their prime. At Mao's age, they still have a long way to go.

As Heath Ledger walked to the backstage of the ceremony, the best director award was about to begin. Under the thunderous applause of the audience, 67-year-old Francis Ford Coppola, 62-year-old George Lucas, 60-year-old Stephen... Spielberg walked out from the right side of the stage one after another, and the three legendary directors jointly presented the award!

The three of them, together with Martin Scorsese, 64, are known as the four major directors in Hollywood in the 1980s. Of course, they were still "movie boys" at that time. In fact, everyone knows who the winner of the Director Award tonight will be. , not Pokémon Wang Yang, not Finch, Fres, or Inarrido, but old Martin.

The three great directors came to stand in front of the microphone. When the applause stopped, Coppola on the left said calmly: "The three of us are standing on the stage today because we know very well how exciting it is when winning an award. ." Spielberg, who was holding the envelope on the right, seriously agreed: "Yes, it was the best moment in my life." At this time, Lucas in the middle frowned slightly and looked at the two people left and right with a puzzled expression. For a moment, "Hey guys, I've never won this award."

"Hahaha!" The Kodak Theater burst into laughter. Seeing Lucas' silly look, many people couldn't stop laughing. Coppola won the Best Director once (14), and Spielberg Twice (26), Lucas was nominated twice (02), but the laughter stopped quickly to show respect.

Coppola and Spielberg looked at him as if they didn't understand. Spielberg asked, "Then what are you doing here?" The audience laughed again, and Lucas shrugged, "Well, I don't You know, people nowadays don’t watch "Star Wars" anymore." Spielberg said: "Nor do they watch "The Godfather"." Colabo said: "Nor do they watch "E.T."." Amid laughter, the live broadcast The camera quickly panned to the popular Wang Yang.

The three legendary directors jointly joked that maybe the Pokémon didn't know what expression to make, but he just kept smiling.

They did not get the science fiction film and the most classic "The Godfather Part I" back then, and Martin did not get it for so long. The protagonist tonight is naturally Martin Scorsese. The camera immediately scanned him, but he had a very serious and calm expression.

"Well, it should be that there are two of us who know very well the excitement of winning an award." Lucas wanted to say something else, but Coppola interrupted the internal quarrel, and Spielberg on the right pointed. He, nod himself. Lucas looked innocent and said: "What I mean is, you can't get as much as you give." The two directors looked at each other, leaned into the microphone and loudly said: "No, that would be weird!"

"Haha!" The guests burst into laughter again. The three people who stood back up ended their fun, and Coppola began to read: "The following is the list of nominations, "Tower of Babel", Alejandro Gonzalez- Iñárritu; "Blood Diamond," Martin Scorsese;" As they read, the camera focused directly on the nominees, and Old Martin finally smiled, ""The Dead," Wang Yang; "The Fantastic Director", David Fincher; "The Queen", Stephen Frears."

Spielberg slowly opened the envelope. He suddenly looked up a few times, walked towards the middle, and said: "Go away!" Lucas stepped aside aggrievedly, but couldn't help but laugh; in the laughter During the movie, Spielberg came to the middle. He opened the envelope, looked at it, smiled and said: "The one who won the Oscar is Martin Scorsese!" Before he finished speaking, the two great directors next to him applauded happily. The audience was even more excited. Old Martin stood up calmly, hugged, shook hands and hugged his wife, colleagues, other nominees of "Blood Diamond" and others around him...

"Martin Scorsese's road to an Oscar began in 1956 while attending a seminary, and he has since poured his passion into his film career."
