Chapter 1296 Feeling proud
The Oscars, which had been in trouble due to social incidents for two consecutive years, finally took an important breather in 2004 and got back on track.
The 76th Oscars came to an end with much attention, and became a grand event recorded in history——
"Lord of the Rings 3" became the biggest winner, winning 11 statuettes including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and the Grand Slam of Technical Department Awards. It was tied with "Ben-Hur" and "Titanic" The most awarded film in Oscar history.
Moreover, the 100% winning rate for all eleven nominations also made this work unique on Oscar night.
The most important thing is that "Lord of the Rings 3" has filled the gap for fantasy films in the Best Picture category at the Oscars, becoming the first fantasy film in history to win the highest Oscar award.
Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings. Lord of the Rings.
When the Oscar Awards ceremony comes to an end, "Lord of the Rings 3" has undoubtedly become the absolute focus. Its strong performance of sweeping through thousands of troops and hitting every target has become the focus of all media. New Line Cinema has been performing strongly since the end of last year. The turmoil continued until the end of the awards season.
Of course, "Lord of the Rings 3" is not the only focus.
Because "Lord of the Rings 3" was absent from all award nominations in the acting department, the ownership of the four acting trophies this year has become a bright sight.
Sean Penn, Best Actor, the Grand Slam winner of Best Actor at the three major European film festivals, has been nominated for Oscars three times before but missed them all. This year, he finally completed it with "Mystic River", which was ignored at the Cannes Film Festival. Oscar's feat of reaching the top made up for his regrets.
Tim Robbins, Best Supporting Actor, is well-known for "The Shawshank Redemption". He once received his first Oscar nomination for "Dead Man Walking", but after fifteen years in Hollywood, he was nominated this time. Finally, he won his first statuette with "Mysterious River".
Charlize Theron, Best Actress, this model-born South African beauty was labeled a vase early on, but this year she conquered Hollywood, relying on her self-destructive performance in "The Devil Wears Prada" to make a profit. A round of applause, overwhelming in the awards season, winning the Best Actress trophy in one fell swoop.
Renee Zellweger, best supporting actress, this year is her third consecutive year nominated. Previously, "BJ's Diary" and "Chicago" failed in the best actress competition for two consecutive years. Finally, relying on "Cold Mountain", she moved to the Best Supporting Actress department and won her first statuette.
Four trophies, four winners, all first-time winners.
Such a scene is in subtle contrast to the scene where "Lord of the Rings 3" swept thousands of troops in other award departments, and unexpectedly set off the media topic——
A wave of focus and traffic centered around the four statuette winners, competing against the dominant team from "Lord of the Rings 3" and becoming the highlight of the night.
And, this is still not all.
"Lord of the Rings 3" received a total of eleven nominations, covering all aspects of the Oscar nomination list, but the film did not cover all awards, as did "Ben-Hur" with fifteen nominations and "Titanic" with fourteen nominations. In comparison, what is missing is the nomination in the acting department, and there are also:
Best Original Screenplay.
Back then, "Titanic" had already swept the Oscar nomination stage, but it was a pity that it failed to receive a screenplay nomination.
In the end, at the 70th Oscar, the best original screenplay went to "Good Will Hunting" and the best adapted screenplay went to "L.A. Confidential".
This year, "Lord of the Rings 3" successfully won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Naturally, the award for Best Original Screenplay is also a matter of concern.
The answer is——
"Lost in Translation", Sofia Coppola.
This work has received countless praises and praises this year. Both Scarlett Johansson and Sofia Coppola have stood in the spotlight overnight and been involved in the storm of Vanity Fair; but unfortunately, the Academy’s public relations In the final sprint, it was still weak, and unfortunately it was overwhelmed by the overwhelming momentum of "The Lord of the Rings 3", so that it was unable to receive more nominations. Despite this, "Lost in Translation" still stood out from the crowd at the Oscars, winning the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay.
Moreover, receiving a round of applause after the award ceremony has undoubtedly become the most eye-catching sight of this year's awards season, becoming the focus of attention with an unconventional attitude.
To some extent, "Lost in Translation" is even more dazzling than the four actors who won acting statuettes.
After all, Sofia Coppola's abysmal performance in "The Godfather Part III" is still an epic disaster that shook the world to this day. No one expected that the "actor" who was criticized so bloody by the audience in those years ", with such an independent sketch with a strong literary and artistic flavor, it has gained a foothold in Hollywood by virtue of its directorship.
Sure enough, in Hollywood, anything is possible.
What's more, the focus of this year's awards ceremony was all on "Lord of the Rings 3", and other topics were lackluster. It is not surprising that Sofia stood out and firmly grabbed the attention with the surname Coppola.
With this, another year of Oscars comes to an end.
However!
The college has gained a lot this year——
According to Nielsen ratings statistics, a full 45 million viewers across the North American continent watched the glorious moment when "Lord of the Rings 3" swept the Oscars.
This data triggered a heated discussion across the board.

This is not only the best ratings since "Titanic" won the Best Picture title at the 70th Oscar, but it is also great news that the number of viewers has returned to the 40 million level after two consecutive years of sluggishness.
Coupled with the record-breaking advertising costs of US$1.5 million per thirty seconds before the awards ceremony, direct data proves the unparalleled lofty status of the Oscars in North America, and its powerful influence can still compete with the Super Bowl. They are the two largest events in North America.
From all aspects, this Oscar was a huge success.
College, overjoyed:
Anson, who are you?
Although the turmoil before the awards ceremony has left the Academy frustrated, and the provocation and impact from the Grammys has shrouded the Oscars in a dark cloud, a mere Anson Wood has put the Academy in an awkward predicament and under tremendous pressure, which the Academy has never experienced before. No encounter situation.
However, now, the academy is finally proud, and they can fight back openly——
Grammy, if it wants to show off in front of the Oscars, is still a little immature; as for Anson, not to mention, the Oscars will not be in trouble because of the lack of an Anson.
In fact, not only did it not get into trouble, but it produced its best performance in seven years!
Academy: Anson, how are you? Are you scared?
It can be seen from the press releases of major news media after the award ceremony that the academy finally let out a long breath, and the words were full of yin and yang Ansen.
Those stubborn old academics have been waiting for this moment for too long.
So, what about Anson?
How did Anson respond?
