Rebirth In Hollywood

"Best Animated Feature Film went to..."

On the stage, Tina Fey opened the envelope in her hand, but no one off the stage was curious or speculated, because the answer was too obvious.

"Up, Peter Docter!"

Peter Docter, who came to the stage to accept the award, was not too excited. After receiving the statuette, he casually thanked those who should be thanked, and then walked backstage.

Pixar Studio has achieved three consecutive championships in the Best Animated Feature Film. Pixar's production was nominated, and other opponents ran with it. With the full support of Disney, the studio is firmly on the leading position in the industry.

Compared with John Lasseter and Andrew Stanton, who were not surprised and joyless off the stage, Jerry Fo Katzenberg's face was not very good-looking. He couldn't remember how many times Dreamworks Animation Studio acted as The background of Pixar Studios, too.

Fortunately, DreamWorks Animation is now a member of Disney, next year...

Jeff Katzenberg looked at Ryan, who was sitting not far in front, and shook his head. Next year, DreamWorks Animation will probably continue to accompany him. After all, everyone knows that this year will not only have "Toy Story 3", but also The super masterpiece "Frozen Adventure" of Disney's animation department.

"Will the ratings be much better this year?"

Taking advantage of the gap in the performance, Natalie asked Ryan in a low voice, and Ryan nodded, "It would be a tragedy if the college made such a huge reform and it didn't work."

In this year's Oscars ceremony, the academy really showed its determination to reform. Not only did it introduce double yolk eggs on the host, but it also revolutionaryly increased the number of nominations for the best picture to ten!

Although the list includes "The Hurt Locker", "Serious Men" and "Growing Up" and other bad box office films, there are also films with a broad audience base such as "Avatar", "Inglourious Basterds" and "Up". , even veteran movie fans understand that these high-grossing films do not have much competitiveness in important awards, but they can always drive some ratings.

That's exactly what happened. With just four awards remaining, Christoph Waltz took home supporting actor for Shameless Mashup, Best Animated Feature and Best Original Score for Up, and Avatar It only won three technical awards for best cinematography, best visual effects and best art direction.

And "The Hurt Locker", whose box office is less than a fraction of that of "Avatar", not only won two technical awards for best sound effect and best sound effect editing, but also won the best editing and the best film which are directly related to the ownership of the best film. Two important awards for the best original screenplay.

Oscar's discrimination against sci-fi films and films that rely entirely on CG technology is obvious.

Of course, this is no secret. Anyone who has studied Oscars will understand that it is normal for "Avatar" to encounter discrimination from Oscars.

Even before the awards ceremony, many media hyped that "Avatar" was the biggest hit. But people like Ryan and Cameron know very well that this is just hype. The media hype is based on the unprecedented high box office of "Avatar" and "Titanic" that once crushed Oscars.

What they deliberately ignore is that "Avatar" is completely different from "Titanic".

The latter is adapted based on real historical events, and even the prototypes of Jack and Ruth can be found among the passengers. To a certain extent, it belongs to the category of real movies.

As for the former, it is a complete science fiction film.

"Will Meryl win Best Actress?"

Hear Natalie's question. Ryan shook his head, "It's very difficult. If there are no accidents, the best actress should go to Kate Winslet."

That's right. Meryl Streep broke her performance award nomination record with "Julie and Julia" and won her sixteenth Oscar nomination. Unfortunately, she has never been very public relations, and it is almost impossible for her to win the award.

And "Life and Death Reading", which was forcibly suppressed by Ryan and Disney for a year, was finally released this year. If the character's qualifications are not inferior, and she is actively working hard on public relations, Kate Winslet's chances of winning the award are still very high.

"Congratulations Kate Winslet!"

Sure enough, it was her name that sounded on the stage. What Ryan didn't expect was that when Kate Winslet passed by, he deliberately stopped beside him. On this occasion, Ryan had no choice but to hug her.

After this hug, the friendship that the two had established on the "Titanic" and the enmity that was suppressed last year were all gone.

Others may not know about Ryan's actions, but Natalie knows it very well. Just like this year's Oscars, even excluding the public relations during the awards season, Ryan has done a lot of work, taking advantage of various social and political situations and even It is the identity of Jewish ethnicity that created too many favorable conditions for "The Hurt Locker".

When George Lucas walked onto the stage, Natalie held Ryan's hand tightly. She, who had barely felt it before, was suddenly worried about gains and losses. This is the session with the best conditions and situation. If you miss this One time, even she herself doesn't know how many more years she will have to wait.

It's even possible that the first best female director will fall to someone else.

Even if she is as strong as Natalie, it is impossible not to be completely affected by fame and fortune, not to mention the unprecedented honor of Best Actress and Best Director.

"The college is really going to rewrite history." Ryan whispered.

"What?" Natalie turned her lips slightly, "George is best at science fiction films, could it be..."

"Honey, I think you overlooked one thing." Ryan gently scratched Natalie's palm, "George can be said to be your teacher in directing."

Natalie's brown eyes instantly became brighter.

Ryan's statement is not wrong. When filming the "Star Wars Prequel" trilogy, Natalie asked George Lucas a lot of questions about directing while filming.

Of course, these are Ryan's guesses. Who can win the best director depends on the results announced by George Lucas.

"The following five directors have been nominated for Best Director."

On the stage, George Lucas has finished his strings and is introducing the list of nominations, "James Cameron "Avatar", Lee Daniels "True Love", Natalie Portman "The Hurt Locker", Quentin Tarantino, "Inglourious Basterds," Jason Reitman, "Up in the Air."

"The Oscar winner is..."

Natalie maintained a graceful and deliberate smile, and only Ryan could feel her nervousness.

Will history be born here?

"Oh, this is really a remarkable achievement." George Lucas had already opened the envelope, "Congratulations to Natalie Portman, the first female Oscar director for best director!"

History is born at this moment!

"Is it me, Ryan?"

Natalie stood up with the people around her, "Is it me?"

"Congratulations, honey."

Ryan opened his hands and hugged Natalie, and then everyone around gave Natalie congratulatory hugs.

The applause was like a hurricane, sweeping the entire Kodak Theater, and the audience and guests who witnessed the historic moment stood up and applauded.

In the applause that almost knocked the roof down, Natalie walked onto the stage, first hugged George Lucas, and then took over the statuette representing the best director.

"Thank you, thank you George, he is my teacher in directing and the guide who led me to successfully enter the directing industry."

Standing at the forefront of the stage, Natalie looked very excited, "This is the most important moment in my life. In 1992, I was in London, on my way to Poland, thinking about becoming a director in the future. I never imagined that one day I would stand on the Oscar stage as a director."

After taking a few deep breaths, Natalie gradually calmed down, "Thanks to the academy, to the screenwriters at Disney, and to all of you who risked your lives to go to Iraq and write this script."

"Thank you to all the actors. I think the secret to making a good movie is unity and cooperation. I would like to thank all the crew for their hard work, the producer Mr. George Clooney, and Israel for the warm hospitality at the shooting location."

"Finally, I would like to thank my loved ones, my parents gave me the best education, Ryan Jenkins inspired all my passion for movies, thank you!"

After announcing her feeling of winning, Natalie did not fully enter the backstage, but stood at the entrance of the stage, waiting for the result of the best picture award.

Tom Hanks walked onto the stage, said a few words, and then began a long list of nominees for Best Picture, "Avatar" James Cameron and Jon Landau, "Inglourious Basterds" Lawrence Bender, Up's Alexander Desplat, The Hurt Locker's George Clooney and Natalie Portman, The Serious Men's Coen Brothers..."

Due to the need to match the big screen, it took more than five minutes for the ten nominated films to be introduced.

Then, Big Tom opened the envelope and read out the answer that had no suspense, "The best film is "The Hurt Locker" George Clooney and Natalie Portman!"

Natalie stepped onto the stage again, took over the statuette representing the best picture together with George Clooney, and offered George Clooney the opportunity to give a speech.

"This movie surpassed our dreams, and it feels unreal that we're standing here today. Thank you to the Academy for honoring us like this, to Ryan and the Walt Disney Company for their incredible support, and to the entire cast."

After finally standing on the stage, this Hollywood political star will definitely not give up the opportunity to show political correctness, "Finally, I pay tribute to the beauties far away in the Middle East, and we will protect each other in every corner of the world!"

The eighty-second Academy Awards ceremony came to an end, and "The Hurt Locker" became the biggest winner. (to be continued...)
