Chapter 490: My life is like walking on thin ice, when will I reach the other side?
As soon as Wang Shu returned to his seat from the stage, Monica, Christine, Sister Shitou and others all expressed their congratulations enthusiastically.
Wang Shu responded politely with a smile on his face.
At this moment, he was relieved in his heart.
I thought "Slumdog Millionaire" was so impressive, but this trip to the Oscars is likely to be overturned.
Now, here is the Best Director Award. After all, the old men of the Academy chose "The Wolf of Wall Street" between their "biological son" and "The Wolf of Wall Street."
My own son is "Slumdog Millionaire". This movie not only satisfies the sense of superiority of a big country among the old men in the academy, but also satisfies the first world's sense of curiosity about the third world.
The old guys at the academy really like this movie.
Wang Shu can think that if the global financial crisis had not made the demand for "The Wolf of Wall Street" too high, and the old heads of the academy were really under pressure, it would have been impossible for him to win the Oscar for Best Director this time. award.
From his standpoint, we need to thank the global financial crisis caused by the US subprime mortgage crisis.
This big event helped him win the award.
However, the global financial crisis has affected people all over the world.
Therefore, it is impossible to say thank you in this way.
“Unexpectedly, he really won the Best Director Award.”
Anne Hathaway looked at the location of Wang Shu.
Although "The Wolf of Wall Street" had a high reputation for winning the award before, Wang Shu is only 22 years old after all, and he has just arrived in Hollywood from China, so he is not a "local director" in Hollywood.
Taking these factors together, among the five nominated directors, Wang Shu is least likely to win the award.
Now, the Oscar for Best Director is truly in the hands of Wang Shu.
Looking at the joyful atmosphere around Wang Shu, Anne Hathaway looked back at the stage and sighed softly.
“My life is like walking on thin ice, when will I get to the other side?”
On the stage, five past Oscar-winning actresses, Halle Berry, Marion Cotillard, Nicole Kidman, Sophia Loren, and Shirley MacLaine, have already taken to the stage and will "brag" one by one. Ichiban is a nominee for this year's Academy Award for Best Actress.
Anne Hathaway is one of the nominated actors.
As the five actresses appeared on the stage, the audience stood up and applauded to show their respect.
When the applause fell, the five actresses began their work of bragging to the nominees.
This moment is the highlight of the five Best Actress nominees at the Oscars.
Wang Shu was also looking at the stage. Since neither Monica nor the widowed sister had been nominated for an Oscar, since the five nominated actresses had not changed from the original timeline.
So, the Oscar winner this year is probably Kate.
After a while, Kate stood up after winning the award and looked around, trying to find her beloved little plum.
Unfortunately, Little Plum didn’t come today. Kate looked around for a moment and couldn’t find Little Plum. Then she realized that Little Plum was not there, so she turned around and walked onto the stage
It can be seen that Kate’s heart is really It’s full of little plums.
Although Xiao Lizi didn't even come, when I was so excited at the moment of winning the award, I still thought of Xiao Lizi and wanted to share the joy with him.
Obviously, this is a subconscious behavior, and the inner emotions are exposed under excitement.
In fact, during this period, Leo has gained weight and is no longer the handsome young man he was when he was young.
However, Kate’s love for Leonardo DiCaprio has long been sublimated and is not just about flesh and blood.
Even though Leo is no longer the handsome young man he once was, Kate's love for him remains unchanged.
Even if you are married, you will never change or hide it.
Wang Shu turned his head and happened to look at Anne Hathaway not far away, and saw her looking at the stage expectantly.
You don’t need to think about it to know that it is not only her, but also several nominees.
However
As Wang Shu expected, the award presenter opened the envelope and announced loudly: "Kate Winslet's "Life and Death Reading"."
After a lot of noise, it was the turn of the Best Actor award ceremony.
Another five past Oscar winners took to the stage to brag about this year’s Oscar nominees for Best Actor.
I have to admit that this link is indeed a highlight of the Oscars ceremony.
The five previous winners will be presented in sequence to the current nominees, and then the awards will be presented.
Not only does it look grand, but it also looks quite stylish.
This Oscar is different from the original time. Matt Damon was nominated for "The Wolf of Wall Street", replacing one.
At this moment, Matt Damon is staring at the stage attentively, waiting for the Oscar winner on the stage to announce the winner.
Just listen to the voice on the stage: "The winner of the Oscar for Best Actor is"
"Sean Penn."
As the name rang, the scene Suddenly there was a burst of enthusiastic applause.
Matt Damon was also among those applauding.
Losing to Sean Penn immediately blocked his mouth. Apart from feeling sorry for himself, he was not unconvinced.
This is because Sean Penn is the Best Actor at the 76th Academy Awards.
In addition, he was the Best Actor at the 55th and 60th Venice International Film Festival, and the Best Actor at the 60th Cannes International Film Festival.
This Oscar is his second Oscar winner. Competing with such a strong opponent on the same stage, Matt Damon had actually expected it.
It’s just that there are expectations. Now that I have been nominated, I hope to win.
Let me ask, who doesn’t have dreams?
“Only the last best picture is left.” Matt Damon sighed softly in his heart.
He is the producer of "The Wolf of Wall Street", and the final award for Best Picture is an honor to honor the producers, investors, and the entire crew.
When the final award is awarded, a big shot in the industry will take to the stage and announce the nominated films and corresponding producers one by one.
Then, the producer will receive the statuette and stand in the center of the stage to give an acceptance speech.
Wang Shu is the director. If "The Wolf of Wall Street" really wins the Best Picture Award, he will just follow Matt Damon onto the stage with the crew representatives and stand in the crowd waiting for the winner. Damon delivered his acceptance speech.
This award is not intended to commend the director. He is not qualified to receive the award or give an acceptance speech.
Unless he is a producer himself.
Compared to Matt Damon, Wang Shu doesn’t care much about whether he can win the Best Picture Award this time at the Oscars.
Take it if you can, forget it if you can’t.
Anyway, he has already won the Best Director Award in recognition of the director. For the director, he has already won the best award, and the rest is not important.
It is undeniable that best picture is the biggest award. If "The Wolf of Wall Street" can win the award, it will also be good for him.
But Wang Shu is not greedy.
When I first arrived in Hollywood, I won the Oscar for Best Director, and I was already satisfied.
Furthermore, he has a feeling that since the Academy chose to award the Best Director Award to him, it is likely to award the Best Picture Award to "Slumdog Millionaire".
After all, this movie is the biological son of the old men in the academy.
Now that a trophy for the Best Director Award has been awarded, it can be regarded as an answer to the outside world's calls.
The Best Picture Award will most likely go to "Slumdog Millionaire."
From the perspective of the veterans of the academy, the Best Director Award is a personal honor award, and the Best Picture Award is the highest honor award that recognizes the entire film.
Comparing the two, naturally the Best Picture Award is bigger.
Therefore, Wang Shu felt that the old men of the academy would most likely choose to award the relatively small Best Director Award to him, and then award the biggest Best Picture Award to "Slumdog Hundred". "Millionaire".
In this way, I will not treat my own son badly.
As for Danny Boyle, the director of "Slumdog Millionaire".
The old men at the academy love the movie "Slumdog Millionaire", but they don't love the director of the movie.
If there were no "The Wolf of Wall Street", the Best Director Award would naturally be awarded to Danny Boyle.
Now, with "The Wolf of Wall Street" as a hit, the grand prize is not enough, and the old heads of the academy don't want to completely compromise.
Just one on each side.
The biggest prize goes to the beloved movie "Slumdog Millionaire".
The director award goes to "The Wolf of Wall Street" which I didn't like.
While Wang Shu was thinking about it, Steven Spielberg walked onto the stage and he would present the Best Picture Award.
This old boy stood in the center of the stage, read out the nominated films and the corresponding producers one by one, then opened the envelope and took a look, and then loudly said: "The winner of the Best Picture Award is"< br>
""Slumdog Millionaire"!"
The scene suddenly burst into enthusiastic applause and cheers.
"Sure enough." While Wang Shu applauded, he also secretly complained in his heart.
"Slumdog Millionaire" is definitely the "son" of the old men in the academy. In the original timeline, the film won eight statuettes at this Oscars.
Absolutely, the biggest winner.
The old men in the academy do not hide their love for this movie.
Except for the Actor Award, which was not awarded to the actors of this film, most of the other awards were awarded to it.
Although the movie "The Wolf of Wall Street" is highly praised by the outside world, it is not a movie that the old men in the academy love at all.
In the original timeline, when this movie premiered, the old man from the academy watched half of the movie and cursed at the director directly on the scene.
This time, if "The Wolf of Wall Street" hadn't been released during the financial crisis and had the effect of gagging, it would most likely be the same.
These all show that "The Wolf of Wall Street" can be nominated, and winning an award is just a dream.
Not to mention that this film was directed by a 22-year-old young director from China. The Oscars have never awarded the Grand Prize to such a young director, nor to a film directed by such a young director.
It's even more impossible to win a prize.
Therefore, if the momentum of "The Wolf of Wall Street" hadn't been so great, it would have made the old men at the American Film Academy worried.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to award the Best Director Award to Wang Shu.
It was awarded to the director of his beloved film "Slumdog Millionaire".
