[US Entertainment] Best Director

After the best sound editing was awarded, the award for best visual effects followed. Of course, "Avatar" won this trophy. When Bradley Cooper handed the statuette to James Cameron, Pu Lyris clapped his hands.

This is the second Oscar trophy for "Avatar", and it will also be the last one.

"A film with an investment of more than 1 million yuan can only win the first prize for best visual effects at the Oscars" is already a common practice - the academy has given "Avatar" six nominations and two statuettes, which is the greatest degree of affirmation.

James also knew this, and after finishing his acceptance speech, he walked off the stage smiling.

Six people including Kate Winslet and Colin Farrell stepped onto the stage, and they were going to award "Best Actor".

Eddie looked at the stage.

The outcome of the Oscars can be predicted. In the predictions made a few days ago, Eddie's best actor was the one with the lowest probability in the prediction list of several awards nominated for "Approaching Iraq".

George Clooney, Colin Firth, Jeff Bridges, Morgan Freeman—not only have they been in Hollywood for many years, but most of them have even been nominated for multiple Oscars. , Eddie's qualifications are really pitiful.

This is the first time that Eddie has been a leading actor, and it is also the first time that Eddie has been nominated for a world-class film award. If Eddie was a director, the academy might give him a statuette in the name of "encouraging newcomers", but he does not He is not a director, he is an actor, and in the entire Oscar public relations industry-acting awards are the most senior.

Both Prairis and Eddie knew that Morgan Freeman and Jeff Bridges were the protagonists of the Oscars this time, and what Eddie had to do was to improve his career with the help of "Oti" With my social status, and leaving a good impression on the directors and producers in the industry, I told them that there is an English actor named Eddie Redmayne in Hollywood. His acting skills are good and his price is quite cheap.

Kate Winslet opened the envelope.

"The winner is - Jeff Bridges for 'Crazy Heart'."

This is Jeff Bridges' first Oscar nomination and his fifth nomination.

Eddie applauded heartily from the audience.

Even though he didn't show the slightest bit of displeasure, Prairis reassured.

"It's always your turn."

Immediately afterwards, the announcement of the best actress.

As Prairis expected, Sandra Bullock won this year's Oscar. Although this is Sandra's first nomination for an Oscar, "The Flawless" did not enter the best picture due to the academy committee's criticism. Due to the compensatory psychology of the competition unit, Sandra succeeded in winning the statuette as a matter of course.

Oscar's Best Actress presenter Sean Fan walked off the stage.

Immediately afterwards, is the highlight of the Oscars - Best Director, Best Picture.

Generally speaking, these two awards are awarded to the same excellent film of the year, but there are exceptions. For example, the best director of the Oscar in 17 was awarded to the director of "LALALAND" ("La La Land"). Chazelle, and the best picture was awarded to "Moonlight", which no one thought of.

This situation is not uncommon at the Oscars, and even happens often, but it does not include this year.

In the past 10 years of Oscars, the best director and best picture were awarded to Catherine Bigelow.

And this year, what will happen to Oscar's fate in the end, Pryris himself doesn't know.

On the eve of the forecast, the betting rate of Prairis and Catherine is almost the same.

Prairie has the full support of Megan Howard, and Katherine Bigelow also has a team of commissioners supporting her.

With the same theme of Iraq, she talked about war reporters and people in the war zone, while Catherine talked about American soldiers and the feelings of family and country.

Some people like "people", and naturally some people like "country". People can't judge which aesthetic is better, just like they can't judge "The Dawns Here Are Quiet" or "Saving Private Ryan" which is more contemporary significance.

Aesthetic difference only.

As the music started, although Prairis didn't want to be nervous, her palms were still sweating a little.

She smiled and looked at the stage, pretending nothing had happened.

Simply, the announcement of the best director soon came.

Best Director was presented by two-time Oscar winner Barbara Studson.

The woman who once "changed the fate of Hollywood" walked onto the stage in a black trouser suit with an envelope in hand.

Smiling and looking at the audience.

"Among the five talented nominees tonight, the honoree may be a woman for the first time."

Barbara glanced at Prairis and Catherine respectively.

There was applause, and Barbara continued.

"Or, just as likely for the first time, an African-American."

"Or maybe it was the director of the three who brought his script to life and made it the most successful film ever made."

"Congratulations to each of you on such an amazing achievement. Here are the Best Director nominees --

Avatar James Cameron.

Catherine Bigelow in The Hurt Locker.

Inglourious Basterds Quentin Carentino.

"Up in the Air" Jason Ahriman.

"Approaching Iraq" by Prairieth Klander. "

With the final sound, Barbara opened the envelope.

Pull out the letter paper and look down the stage.

Megan Howard is also watching the live broadcast of this year's Oscars at this time.

This time for the Oscars, she voted her vote for Prairie as promised, and encouraged her Eastern European Jewish group to vote for the young British girl.

But in fact, the effect is not as good as expected. Many people think that Catherine Bigelow has richer qualifications and is more qualified to win the statuette this time.

"I think Catherine is more qualified to win the statuette than Prairie Clander," said old friend Freeman.

"Why?" Megan asked.

"Because Catherine needs more encouragement, she is a thorn flower growing in the shadow of James Cameron." Freeman said.

He completely imagined Catherine as a delicate dodder.

In fact, Freeman's imagination is not an exception. This is the Catherine Bigelow imagined by many people, a weak woman with unknown talents who lives in the shadow of her ex-husband.

Megan snorted disdainfully.

Katherine Bigelow is a bit too low-class to use her family environment as a public relations stunt.

But speaking of PR—what's up with Weinstein, the publicist for Closer to Iraq?What else has Weinstein done for Prairie this awards season besides introducing a few committee members who are of little use?

You must know that Weinstein's public relations model has always been known as "radical", black public relations, suppressing opponents, and even creating black spots in competing films at the same time-there is nothing he can't do.

But why is the public relations strategy of "Approaching Iraq" so conservative?

Megan frowned.

At this moment, Barbara read the answer on the letter.

"Andthewinneris—Pryris Crander!"

"This is the second time Prairieth Klander has been nominated for Best Director and the first time she has won! Congratulations to her!"

Following Barbara's first half of the sentence, Megan's heart suddenly rose an octave, and she suddenly let go when she heard the second half of the sentence, followed by a huge thump.

As Prairis got up on the TV screen, Megan even shed tears of excitement!

Pryris won the best director of the year!

The object of her full support successfully won the Oscar!

For film critics, what could be more proud than this!

On the stage, the lights were shining, Prairis wore the lake blue Valentino dress, and took over his own, the most important one in his career - "Best Director"!

God's miracle!

She excitedly blew kisses to the audience.

"Thanks to Paul. Thanks to Eddie. Thanks to Meryl for the encouragement." She held up the statuette.

In fact, this is the third statuette she got tonight, but she feels that this one is different.Very grand.

"Really. Thank you very much."

"It's a miracle."

In just three sentences, she couldn't help covering her mouth, and tears rolled down her cheeks.

The testimonials cannot be suspended.

Barbara beside her patted her on the shoulder.

Repeating "You're great. Really."

After a long time, Prairis wiped the corners of his eyes and continued to look at the audience.

Her teacher, Steven Spielberg, was sitting under the stage, looking at her gently.

The relationship between her and Spielberg has not been exposed, and only a few old friends of Spielberg in Hollywood know that he has accepted an apprentice, the European director who has been in the limelight recently.

Spielberg previously decided to expose this teacher-student relationship after Prairie's low position in Hollywood was stable, and he would not do anything that others would look at from the perspective of "Oh, this is Spielberg's apprentice".

She had expected six years.

After winning the Oscar in six years, she proudly told the whole Hollywood that she was Spielberg's apprentice.

And now, in her fifth year of practice.Won the Oscar early.

Raise the trophy.

"I think there's one more person I have to thank."

Everyone moved to Spielberg's direction following Prairis' gaze.

Then I heard the young English girl on the stage say.

"My teacher. Mr. Spielberg."

Everyone present was stunned.

Even the award presenter Barbara on stage.

She has known Spielberg for 30 years and has never heard of any apprentices.

And now, right in front of her eyes.This young Oscar-winning girl with a bright future openly admits that Spielberg is her teacher? ? ? ?

Following Prairith's words, most of Hollywood fell into madness, only James Cameron, Martin Scorsese, Quentin Carentino and a few informed Mysterious smile.

Looking at the stunned Hollywood stars beside him, Paul, who had long guessed that Prairie was a student of Spielberg, sighed melancholy.

Genius is so lonely.
