[US Entertainment] 1994

After the Best Supporting Actor Award was presented, actors Chen Chong and Val Kilmer took the stage to present the Best Makeup Award, which was awarded to "Slim Dad", and the next Best Sound Editing Award was presented by Liam. One award went to Jurassic Park.

Up to now, the atmosphere of the awards ceremony has gradually become dull. Only Glenn Close presented the honorary Oscar to the veteran British actress Deborah Cole, which caused some waves. Those who have made contributions, the winners are not limited to actors, but also include film companies, scientists, film museums, etc., such as Walt Disney, the founder of Disney, Charlie Chaplin, the comedian, the Film Museum of the Museum of Modern Art, and MGM. has received this award.

Deborah Kerr was born in 1921 and has great reputation in Hollywood and the UK. She was shortlisted for the Oscar queen six times but unfortunately lost, but there is no doubt that she is a woman with both strength and talent. actor.

After several awards, Oscar winner Richard Dreyfuss took to the stage to introduce Schindler's List, nominated for Best Picture.

"In September 1939, the German army occupied Poland, and tens of thousands of Jews entered Krakow. The Jews first became oppressed workers, and then suffered brutal massacres. They became slaves, livestock, and prisoners. Businessman Oscar Schind He couldn't bear the tragic fate of the Jews, bought their lives with money, and he saved thousands of Jews."

""Schindler's List" reproduces the history of the businessman Schindler saving the Jews. The brutality of the German soldiers and the miserable fate of the Jews are perfectly displayed in the film. The film presents a sad and desolate story with black and white lenses, but The ending of the story is full of light.”

"As long as people survive, there will be hope. One person's kind thoughts can save countless lives."

Richard Dreyfuss narrated the whole story of "Schindler's List" in a slow tone. Many filmmakers and guests at the scene have watched this movie, and some people have not, but after listening to the reasoning After Chad Dreyfuss' introduction, everyone was silent until Richard Dreyfuss walked off the stage, and there was a burst of heavy but powerful applause.

Josh only watched "Schindler's List" in its entirety at the premiere. Even though he was one of the leading actors, he thought it took a lot of courage and perseverance to watch the movie, and watch it a second time after one ——

That was undoubtedly more cruel than watching it all over again, and Josh didn't think he had the courage to do so.

Subsequently, Nicolas Cage and Shirley MacLaine jointly presented the best sound effect award, which was collected by "Jurassic Park".

Next, Gene Hackman, the winner of the last Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor, strode onto the stage with an envelope in his hand, and the dull atmosphere on the scene was broken. Best Supporting Actress award.

Among the several nominees, Winona Ryder, who has just won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress, is undoubtedly the most vocal. Compared to Ryder, Holly Hunter was also shortlisted, but the voice of her crowned actress Higher, Emma Thompson’s leading actress nomination will also lead to split votes, not to mention that she just won the Oscar last year, as for Anna Paquin—the other nominees didn’t even regard her as an opponent at all, even if the Oscar There has never been a lack of upsets in history, but an 11-year-old girl won the statuette?Novelists dare not write like that.

Gene Hackman opened the envelope and revealed the answer simply: "The Oscar winner is——Anna Paquin, "A Farewell to the Piano", congratulations!"

"Ah!" A little girl's crisp cry sounded at the scene, and the next second, applause suddenly sounded as promised, and Josh also applauded for his little red carpet partner.

"Will this be the biggest upset this year?" Josh thought to himself.

In fact, Anna Paquin would not have been shortlisted for Golden Globes and Oscar nominations for her outstanding performance in "The Piano" otherwise, but for the other nominees, this result is not so good. Wonderful, a little girl has won a statuette, what will the media and audience think?

You must think that they are not as good as little girls.

But no matter what their true thoughts were, the awards ceremony was still a happy scene. Anna Paquin's acceptance speech drew applause from the scene. After all, child actors have always been favored in Hollywood.

Anna Paquin hopped off the stage like a rabbit, earning another round of applause for her playful gesture.Afterwards, Laura Dern and Johnny Depp took the stage, and singer Neil Young sang the theme song from The Philadelphia Story.

When the camera didn’t pay attention to him, Josh couldn’t help chatting with Carlos, and Sandra Bullock occasionally joined in to talk about his opinions, so although the award ceremony was long, the few people didn’t feel bored .

Of course, Josh was 1% sure that if he experienced another failure, he might not be able to stay for a minute.

He couldn't imagine how those actors who were nominated six times and failed seven times would return to the Oscars, especially when their opponents were honored, but they returned empty-handed again and again.Josh is glad that he is lucky, he will not fall into such a situation, even if he will experience many twists and turns in his pursuit of an Oscar winner in the future, but with a statuette in his hand, at least he will not lose himself because of too much desire.

Probably the organizers also realized that the rhythm of the awards ceremony was a bit boring, and the next few awards were awarded very quickly. "The Age of Innocence" won Best Costume Design, "Defending Our Lives" and "The Children of Stanton Elementary School" won Best Documentary Short and Best Documentary, and Best Original Score and Best Cinematography went to Sim Dele's List" is in the bag. So far, the film has won four awards.

More than halfway through the ceremony, Tom Cruise took to the stage to present Paul Newman with the Jane Hersholt Humanitarian Award.Josh is not very interested in guys he doesn't like, but he obviously underestimated the popularity of Tom Cruise in Hollywood. warm.

Compared with the lively atmosphere at the scene, Josh seemed a little out of place.

Carlos patted him on the back lightly: "Unhappy?"

Josh shook his head with a listless expression: "There is a big devil waiting for me to defeat. I thought it would be easy, but now I find that the process seems to be much more difficult than I imagined."

"Are you a knight?" Carlos raised his eyebrows.

Josh smiled slightly: "I am a prince."

"What are you talking about?" Sandra Bullock couldn't help asking because she really didn't understand the charade between the two.

An important reason for Carlos to return to Los Angeles is to meet the lady who walked the red carpet with Josh for a while, but after getting along, Sandra's bright and generous personality quickly won Carlos' favor. Sandra knew Carlos's However, in the process of the conversation between the two, Sandra has been neither humble nor overbearing, and she has never flinched or flattered in the face of big shots.

Next, in the presentation of the best foreign language film, the Spanish film "Farewell My Concubine" beat the award season's hit "Farewell My Concubine" and won the statuette.This year's Oscar for best foreign language film has two outstanding Chinese-language films - "Farewell My Concubine" and "The Wedding Banquet". When the list was announced, the North American media exclaimed: "Oriental culture has invaded!"

But unfortunately, the Oscar Organizing Committee did not break the shackles of culture after all, and awarded the best foreign language film to "The Lover of Four Thousand Gold", which also belongs to Western culture. "The Lover of a Thousand Gold" is inferior to "Farewell My Concubine" in terms of film quality and artistic value. The former is more like a restricted-rated film about Spanish romance/desire, without the weight of "Farewell My Concubine" background.

However, the Oscar judges obviously lacked understanding of oriental culture. There were three films nominated for this year’s Oscars from Asia. In comparison, European films naturally had the upper hand. It just stood out.

After the best foreign language film was awarded, music queen Whitney Houston announced the winners of the Best Original Song Award, and "The Philadelphia Story" defeated many opponents and successfully won this award.

The awards ceremony has been going on for more than two hours, and the most critical moment has finally come.

It can be said that every award that will be issued next can indicate the ownership of the best picture. After all, in the 66-year history of the Oscars, it has won the best screenplay, best actor and actress, best director and other awards but missed the best picture. There are so few movies, and to some extent, the best original screenplay and the best adapted screenplay have already indicated which two movies will produce the best picture.

This year, the best original screenplay was awarded to "The Piano", and the best adapted screenplay belonged to "Schindler's List".

In a special year, the most competitive movie scripts may be both original or adapted. In this case, whoever wins the screenplay award will book the best film of the year in advance.

This is not difficult to understand, because the script is the basis of the film. If a film is inferior to others, its probability of winning the best picture is almost zero.

Actress Glenn Close went on stage to introduce Hollywood filmmakers who passed away this year.Her voice reminded Josh of River Phoenix. If everything remained the same as in the previous life, the name River Phoenix would appear on the list introduced by Glenn Close.

Josh is very fortunate that Rui Fan will not appear on this list again, he will live a long time and continue to have a brilliant life.

This was the most correct and happiest thing Josh had ever done, and he was happier than getting the statuette.
