[US Entertainment] Actor

Afterwards, awards such as Best Makeup, Best Animated Short Film, and Best Live Action Short Film were awarded, and "Letter from Iwo Jima" was also introduced on the big screen as one of the nominated films.For the Oscars, these awards are just appetizers, not many people pay attention, and the popularity of the winners is not particularly high.

Subsequently, "Letters from Iwo Jima" won the best sound editing. This is also the first popular film to win an award at this year's Oscar. A big company with Steven Spielberg as producer and Clint Eastwood as director. Although the evaluation is somewhat polarized, it is the favorite of this year's Oscars. Although the award for sound editing is not important , but "Letters from Iwo Jima" is a very important work in today's show.

Next, Jessica Biel and James McAvoy took to the stage to present Best Sound Effects, which went to Dreamgirls.

"Facts have proved that Beyoncé's attempt is still very successful." Ryan Gosling complained, "This movie is very suitable for her, and the role is not at all inconsistent, much better than Madonna."

Ebert glanced at him silently, and whispered: "Madonna is here, don't you know, Guy Ritchie is also here, and the location is not far from you."

Ryan Gosling shrank his neck and got back into his seat.

Next, the Oscars really entered the meat of the show. Rachel Weisz, winner of the 78th Academy Award for Supporting Actress, presented the award on stage. She first introduced the nominees, and then waited until the live screen showed each It was only after the masterful performances of the nominees that she read out the names of the winners: "Alan Arkin, Little Miss Sunshine, congratulations!"

Mark Wahlberg couldn't hide his disappointment.

Ebert glanced at him silently and sighed.

Then Ellen DeGeneres walked into the auditorium and interviewed several nominees of the crew of "The Departed", and then the plot screen of "The Departed" naturally appeared on the big screen. The benefits that all films nominated by the film can enjoy.Ebert watched the entire short film quietly, his eyes a little blank.He was imagining, if he was the winner, what would he say after he took the stage, if not, what kind of posture would he use to face the only lucky one.

The more you think about this kind of thing, the more you will be disappointed.

Ebert held his forehead and waved his hand towards the camera that floated over.

"nervous?"

Seeing Leonardo's eyes full of worry, Ebert smiled and shook his head: "No."

Different from being nominated many times in the past, this time Ebert wrote his acceptance speech. Before that, he seemed to be less concerned about gains and losses than before. The longing was a little too strong.

He felt the time had come.

Although he missed the awards in the previous two times, his number of votes was only second only to the winners. The two failures gradually made him feel unwilling. Although he would comfort himself with various reasons such as age and appearance, but What's more, he would ask, is it true that his acting skills are only so weak that he can only lose by a very small margin when facing competition?

The answer is of course no. The Oscars are not the Olympics, and performances are not competitions. The fight is not an absolute gap.

While Ebert was in a daze, Leonardo had joined hands with former Vice President Al Gore to complete an initiative for an environmental protection activity, and Cameron Diaz had also awarded the best animated feature film.Next, Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay will be awarded.

This is one of the most important awards in the Oscars. After all, a good screenplay is half the battle for a good movie, and usually a movie that wins one of these two awards also wins best picture.

In the end, "The Departed" won the best adapted screenplay award, and the best original screenplay award was collected by "Little Miss Sunshine". For Seth, his works have lost several Oscars in a row. The important reason is that they always lose in important awards such as screenplay and editing.

After the best foreign language film awards were awarded, the awards ceremony finally ushered in another climax of the night.

The Best Supporting Actress Award was finally awarded to Jennifer Hudson, and the winner of the Best Documentary Short was the Chinese director Yang Ziye and her "Children of Yingzhou". The awards will be handed out soon.

For Ebert, this is also the most important moment for him tonight.

In fact, unconsciously, in the endless daze and imagination, 200 minutes have disappeared without a sound.Philip Seymour Hoffman, the winner of the previous best actor, took to the stage to announce the winner of this year's best actress Oscar. Not surprisingly, this award was finally awarded to the leader of the entire awards season, throwing off other nominees A big chunk of Helen Mirren.

Ebert felt his clenched fist gradually seeping sweat.

He subconsciously looked towards Leonardo, only to see that the guy sitting opposite him also happened to see it.Half a second later, Ebert's heart that had been suspended suddenly relaxed. He thought of the night when the Golden Globe Awards ended, and the bold words the two made together after the Screen Actors Guild Awards, and then... this kind of confrontation The frenzy of anticipation for the award suddenly faded.

Ebert felt that he should calm down.

As an actor, he has worked hard enough for his career. He has lived up to every movie he has starred in. He has tried his best, and he should not have any regrets.

Reese Witherspoon struts on stage: "Today we're dealing with a businessman in the middle of a brutal diamond trade, a spy in disguise, a terribly 'nasty' The old man... All five of them are strong Oscar contenders, and they were nominated for their outstanding performance."

The performance of five people appeared on the big screen in an instant.

Despite the applause from the audience, Ebert felt he could hear nothing but the pounding of his heart.

The scene where Ebert was confronted with Leonardo in the elevator was intercepted. His momentary expression of despair and the shock after Billy was killed were clearly portrayed. The camera panned to Ebert, He waved slowly.

After the performance clips of the five nominees were played, Reese Witherspoon opened the envelope: "The winner of the best actor is Albert Dawson, "The Departed", congratulations!"

There was a burst of applause at the scene, especially around Ebert, Martin Scorsese, Mark Wahlberg, Ryan Gosling... everyone was applauding and congratulating him, but his brain But it was gone in an instant.

He won an award?

For a moment Ebert subconsciously looked at Leonardo, the person who was sitting obediently rushed to his side when he was not paying attention, his eyes were reddish, and then gave him a tight, Hugs tight enough to make his muscles contract.

Ebert just came back from reality.

None of this is a dream.

Not a dream.

He finally won the Oscar he dreamed of, not next year, not the year after, not some unknown year in the future, but now.

Leonardo slowly let go of his embrace, but was rushed back by Ebert. In the next second, he let go of Leonardo's hand and walked onto the stage with messy steps.

After taking the stage, Ebert briefly embraced Reese Witherspoon, panting slightly as he took the trophy from her.

"I don't know how to express my feelings at the moment, I can't believe it, because I have four strong opponents, and I'm not sure how to compete with them. Thanks to the crew of "The Departed" for choosing me to take this role, thanks to Martin, Mark, Jack, Leo, you are so good, working with you let me know the meaning of acting, I dare not relax at all because you are both my partners and my competitors. Thanks to the academy, thank you for being me The support and affirmation and finally handed over this award to me. As an actor who aspires to a career in acting, getting an Oscar is the greatest affirmation for me. It gives me strength and motivation. I hope this is not the first time. I love The statuette. Dear Leo, this is the Oscar, it's in my hands, and I'm waiting for you."

Leonardo held his hands high and fisted him in the audience.

Walked to the backstage, handed the trophy to the backstage staff, and waited for them to engrave their names on this precious trophy, and then Ebert returned to the auditorium.

The excitement in his heart still has not subsided.

It is indescribable that he has achieved his greatest wish in life.

His heart was about to beat out of his heart, even though he was clenching his fists and trying to contain his excitement, facing the stage and the crowd, he had the urge to run out to find an open space and run twice.

Albert even wanted to cry.

This is a hard-won trophy.His rivalry with Forrest Whitaker started at the beginning of the awards season and then grew. Ebert lost his chance at the Golden Globes, but he came back at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. , in this Oscar that decides everyone's fate, the winner is ultimately him.

What he should be most grateful for should be Leonardo, who is obviously frustrated by the lost award, but always looks at him with tenderness.

Ebert swears it should be one of the most memorable nights of his life, and possibly his most memorable Oscar.He doesn't know how many trophies he will win in the future, but at least for now, at this moment, what he holds in his hand is the most important.

"Thank you, Leo." Ebert lip-synced to Leonardo.

Leonardo's smile became more gentle, he shook his head slightly, and looked towards the stage.

"Congratulations." Ryan Gosling and Mark Wahlberg congratulated Ebert in unison. Ebert nodded to them and turned his gaze to the stage.
