Hollywood Road

The winner of the Oscar for Best Art Direction is...

On the stage, Emma Watson opened the envelope in her hand, looked down, and immediately said, Helena Espora, Dark City!

Applause sounded in the Dolby Theater, Helena Espora stood up, embraced Murphy and others in the crew one by one, and soon walked onto the award-winning stage.

First!

As Helena Espora began her acceptance speech, Gal Gadot whispered, Here's the first statuette!

Murphy, who was sitting on her left, nodded slightly. The awards ceremony lasted for more than forty minutes, and the crew of Dark City won the first Oscar statuette tonight.

This is not because City of Darkness got off to a bad start, but because all the previous awards, such as Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Costume Design, were not nominated for City of Darkness, not even nominated. Naturally, there will be no Oscar statuettes.

With the first one... Margot Robbie on Gal Gadot's right is full of confidence, There will be a second one soon!

As if to confirm her words, on the next Best Cinematography Award, Fili Lascher, who just won the award two years ago, once again stood on the Oscar podium.

The best photography and the previous best art direction seem to have opened the winning account of Dark City. In the next fifty minutes or so, Murphy's crew became a veritable award harvester and won the best award. Sound Editing, Best Sound Effects, Best Art Direction, Best Makeup, Best Editing and Best Soundtrack have six Oscar statuettes.

Eight nominations, eight statuettes...

Leonardo DiCaprio turned to look at Murphy, Is he really going to be the big winner tonight?

Although he did not want to see this situation very much, he was powerless to stop it becoming a reality step by step.

Eight out of eight!

On the other side, Angelina Jolie frowned and said to Brad Pitt next to her, Is the academy really going to give Murphy Stanton the biggest piece of cake again?

This is just eight technical awards, and the sum is not much better than the Best Supporting Actress we won. Brad Pitt is full of confidence, The best film must be ours, don't forget our film theme!

Black subject matter, this is the most powerful weapon he used to hit the Oscars, and before the nomination list came out, he even instigated some black people in the circle to make trouble. The final winners aren't those who invested in making movies?

A 100% hit rate seems quite astonishing, but Oscar is not a tragedy of winning first and then losing. After all, the eight statuettes won can be said to be technical awards, and no one can guess whether the academy will share the cake.

But Murphy believes that Dark City will definitely be the biggest winner!

On the one hand, the host Ellen DeGeneres targeted Catholicism at the beginning, and even deliberately ridiculed that the sudden rainstorm in Los Angeles before the Oscars was because some people deliberately prayed and wanted God to punish Hollywood, but Hollywood will not stop , so the awards ceremony begins again.

On the other hand, it is the theme of this year's Oscar awards ceremony that conveys an atmosphere of praising heroes.

What are the artistic criteria for Oscar's selection of films? Looking at the history of the past 86 years, it can only be said that Oscar is still very fickle. Especially in the past ten years, it sometimes likes serious topics, sometimes likes a noisy and positive atmosphere, sometimes wants to get close to young people, and sometimes I feel that the world is old and it is not suitable for pretending to be young. Sometimes it is funny, sometimes sensational, sometimes it takes social responsibility on its shoulders, and sometimes it feels that art should serve art itself...

To put it simply, in many cases, for Oscar, the most important award in the American film industry, the theme is more important than the standard. Setting a theme every year and selecting films according to the theme may be the most suitable for Oscar. It is relatively Many other film awards are more mainstream and commercial,

It is also a valuable summary to find the most prominent annual entertainment trends and annual collective values ​​from a large number of movies every year.

Shortly after the opening of tonight's awards ceremony, there were scenes of animated heroes introduced by Jim Carrey and real heroes introduced by Harrison Ford, revealing the keynote of this year's Oscars: the world needs heroes, let We praise those who give themselves to the world.

Dark City is a film that reflects heroes with strong realism and philosophical thinking. To some extent, it just reflects the spirit of this year's Oscars.

Even Murphy was speculating that because of the previous social situation, those old men in the academy wanted to express their stand on the independence of the Hollywood film industry, and in order to support him and Dark City, they deliberately released such an Oscar theme.

Indeed, there are nearly 6,000 judges for the Academy Awards, and no one can guarantee that he will influence most of them, but the reason why the old men at the core of the Academy are extremely important is that some of the opinions and positions they release will affect A lot of people's vote choice.

And these viewpoints and positions often become the theme of the current Academy Awards ceremony.

This year's theme is particularly obvious, showing the importance of real heroes.

Murphy sat calmly in his seat, watching host Ellen DeGeneres joke on stage.

In the last Oscar host, Seth MacFarlane showed off his spoof skills and sang I've Seen Your Mimi to many Oscar queens at the opening, teasing Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman After waiting for people to hold their foreheads with dark faces, Oscar quickly reflected: Oscar is not a conference for complaining, and not all stars are willing to be written into heavy-duty jokes.

Therefore, this year's Oscar host Ellen DeGeneres promised early on that she would not make fun of the stars.

In fact, Ellen DeGeneres' special identity and female-specific affinity made her make fun of anyone—for example, in the previous joke, she made fun of the age of the oldest June Squibb, But it's also the effect of a smile to wipe out all grievances and enmity, which is harmless.

But that doesn't mean this year's Oscars were fun.

In the words of Gal Gadot next to it, tonight's Oscars ceremony is more like a test of patience, the process is tedious, and the design is very bad.

Even a host as good as Ellen DeGeneres couldn't make a sluggish Oscars show fun.

Despite her efforts, the results were very mediocre.

No matter how good a comedian is, there are times when they perform badly, especially on the Oscar stage, which is the most difficult to host.

Ellen DeGeneres' few bright spots basically appeared in the audience. For example, she also pulled a large number of Hollywood big-name stars to play selfies, and then posted them on Twitter, although this seems more like A Samsung ad, but the frantic Twitter clicks still sparked a lot of interest.

Atop the stage, Ellen DeGeneres was once again joking about Jonah Hill's dick, then ran into the crowd again, causing some buzz, trying to recreate the stand-up improvisation, but Her magic power is gone.

The cruel fact lies here, every unfunny stalk at the awards ceremony will make the audience and even the audience in front of the TV look up at the clock-this is still a long, long time before the end of the entire awards ceremony.

That's right, it was the super lengthy rhythm that dragged Ellen DeGeneres down.

The rhythm of the entire award ceremony was very slow. The process of awarding the first award took a lot of time, and then the second award was like this again.

Some of the major awards ceremonies these days go beyond live broadcast time, but none before has spent as much time on the awards as tonight's Oscars, until 11:30 p.m. No awards were given out.

Among them, the most time-consuming thing is nostalgia. As a tradition of the Oscars, some clipped videos are often played at the awards ceremony.

But this year's award show is full of pointless and time-wasting clips, most of which are about how great actors and movies were in the past, which is just too boring and forces viewers to watch surface.

Not to mention the ordinary audience, Murphy turned his head to look. Most of the younger generation of directors and actors were also a little impatient, that is, when the camera lens swept over, they would smile.

In fact, this is not difficult to understand, Oscar and the Academy always miss the past and praise the golden age, as if the current directors and actors are all weaklings.

Although the college doesn't have this kind of awareness, it's hard not to make people have such bad associations.

The constant nostalgia led to a slow pace, which also made it impossible for host Ellen DeGeneres to make some jokes. She even sat in front of the stage with a guitar at one point and nothing happened.

The lengthy nostalgic session and the boring review of old movies took up a lot of time, and Murphy even wondered whether the Oscar Organizing Committee was still counting votes in the background.

The show dragged on for too long, and the male guests are lucky to say that many women will suffer. For example, stars like Margot Robbie don’t eat dinner at all for the effect of walking on the red carpet, and they start to be popular in the middle of the afternoon. It's not a good feeling to have the carpet dragged until midnight now.

Especially with Ellen DeGeneres making a big pizza on stage...

When it was close to 12 o'clock in the evening, a long old video finally ended, and the awards ceremony came to the final six awards. After Robert De Niro took the lead in presenting the best adapted screenplay award, Jessica- Alba came to the stage, ready to present the best original screenplay award!
