[US Entertainment] Top Hollywood directors

This year is a very intense year for all parties to compete for the Oscars.

Numerous forecasting companies have placed their bets early on, predicting who will win the prize in the end.

Slumdog Millionaire is generally favored, because the films nominated for Slumdog Millionaire have the highest box office and word-of-mouth, and high public satisfaction.

The hot comments on ins touched the hearts of many people: "Although I was notified of unemployment just this morning, I have already agreed to watch it with my children. I have to spend the money for this movie. I thought it was a movie sold A movie with slogans, but it's not. "Slumdog Millionaire" moved me, surrounded by mud, how can I not be assimilated? I couldn't help crying in the movie theater, and my wife next to me also had tears in my eyes. Sensible children Seeing that we lost our composure, they came to comfort us, but the sensitive ones will know about my unemployment soon. In fact, I hope that I will always be the superman dad in their eyes. It is not so difficult that I need to sell my blood. I always You can't keep complaining about yourself here..."

"Slumdog Millionaire" speaks directly to the heart of what people fear most in today's society.Unemployment leading to zero income, rising crime rate and other events happened around them, and many people panicked.Although the movie ticket is only six dollars, people who watch the movie feel that they have gained a power that cannot be described by the price.

However, "Millionaire" is not without rivals.

"Little Miss Sunshine" is a family comedy road movie worth watching this year. It properly explores the different attitudes of adults and children towards dreams, so there is no shortage of laughs and tears. Many people are optimistic that Little Miss Sunshine will win the award this year.

Compared with "Little Miss Sunshine", the production of "Letter from Iwo Jima" is more expensive. It is co-produced by two top directors, Clint Eastwood and Steven Spielberg, and Warner pays a lot of money. The World War II film invested was originally intended to be quite big, and from the very beginning, it was intended to be the most classic war film of World War II.

But after watching the movie, Claire felt that it had lived up to her high expectations.

It shows various battlefield scenes, broken limbs, fierce fighting, bloody violence.The scene is indeed a big production, and there are countless costly shooting methods, it is worth watching.

There are many good World War II movies, such as "Saving Private Ryan" and "Darkest Hour" are fine works worth watching in Claire's opinion. In her opinion, "Letters from Iwo Jima" does not handle the narrative structure and plot conflicts very well, so it cannot be called a classic.

Clint is handy with small subjects like "Million Dollar Baby", but his expressive qualities are not so easy to deal with big subjects.

He prefers to express stories with a flat rhythm.In a word, there is more than fluency and insufficient conflict.Filming "Million Dollar Baby" is a matter of plainness and truth.But when this method is used in war, it seems weak. When you want to savor the meaning of war, the movie does not give you enough moving points. It relies too much on filling the grand scenes of the battlefield, and the plot is thin.

Although Claire is more confident in "Millionaire" than "Letters from Iwo Jima".But she is not sure, no one knows what the tastes of the union members have changed this time.

On the stage, at this time, the award presenters took out the envelope with the name of the winner of the best photography award.

The award presenter read out slowly: "Slumdog Millionaire Tony Dieter! Congratulations!" "Millionaire" won the Best Cinematography Award first.

Excited Tony Deeter came to the stage to accept the award. He held up the statuette and said incoherently: "...Thank you, thank you American Academy of Arts and Sciences, this is a great honor. I would like to congratulate those who were nominated together with me , it is my honor to compete with you for this award!"

Sitting next to Claire, nominees David Benioff for Best Adapted Screenplay and Dawn Collins for Best Editing were nervous.

Keanu Reeves, who was also nominated for the Best Actor Award, seemed very calm compared to the embarrassment that the two of them didn't know where to put their hands.

But this is actually the first time Keanu Reeves has been nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.If there were a list of well-known actors who were least appreciated by Oscars or all film awards, he must be at the top.So far, only the MTV Movie Awards have been able to win, so he has been attacked because of his acting skills.

But this time in Millionaire, his perfect character setting captured everyone's heart and finally washed away the spell.

Although there are nominations, the best actor is not so easy to win. As Claire and Leonardo estimated, the award was eventually taken away by the veteran actor Forest Whitaker.

After Whitaker finished his speech, it was time to present the best adapted screenplay award.

The new presenter opened the envelope and read out the name inside: "Slumdog Millionaire David Benioff! Congratulations!"

When David heard his name, his brain was so excited that he turned to look at Claire next to him: "Is it me? Is it me?"

She watched her screenwriter's stupidity exposed to more than 3000 million live viewers and countless guests present: "..."

David's inaction has already aroused good-natured laughter from the people around him and the award presenters, so she smiled and put her hands on his shoulders: "That's right, it's you! Go up and receive the award!"

David Benioff came to the stage to accept the award with a smile on his face. He was at a loss with the statuette in his hand: "There is no place to put it down here, oh... Anyway, I will keep my acceptance speech short."

People in front of the live TV found that the "best screenwriter" was handsome and very "humorous", and they all burst into laughter.

David recited the speech for a long time in his mind: "The movie that made me want to become a screenwriter was "Queen Margot"..."

David on the stage was boasting, and Claire in the audience breathed a sigh of relief. At present, the first important award has been won.

Compared to David's good luck, Dawn was worse.The unionists awarded Best Editing to The Departed.

Selma Shoemaker, the editor of "The Infernal Affairs", went to receive the statuette and thanked everyone on the crew: "Thank you. Thank you very much. This is the third time you have awarded the film directed by Martin Scorsese. .Please believe I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for his work. You can understand what a great movie this is!"

Dawn was a little disappointed, but recovered quickly, and he was quite satisfied with the nomination.Claire finds it strange. In her opinion, if the trade union does not give the "Millionaire" award, it should give her some lighter awards, so as to balance the proportion of internal voting and public opinion.And so far, only one award for the best adapted screenplay has been given, which is not in line with their public relations direction, and she thinks the situation is a bit strange.

The order of awarding the Oscars is from small awards to major awards. As the winners are announced one by one, and finally the best director award is announced, Claire can't help but get nervous.

Tom Hanks took out the prepared envelope and slowly opened the package: "I have the envelope for this Oscar's Best Director Award in my hand. I believe you must really want to know the result, so I will read it now."

Tom glanced down at the envelope and exaggerated: "Wow!..."

He raised his head and smiled slightly, and said loudly: "So...Director Claire Dorries, who do you think will win the Best Director award!"

There was a lot of laughter and condemnation of his behavior of changing the subject.The camera turned to Claire who was suddenly named in the second row. She smiled and said, "I don't know, but I hope it's me!"

Tom said "wow": "In fact, I got the news that I will be the unprecedented No.1 of the Oscars, because I will present two awards at the same time!"

Everyone who heard this sentence was shocked.Hanks is giving out two prizes!Which two awards?

Tom smiled and said amazingly: "The Oscar for Best Director and Best Picture will be awarded to me at the same time!"

There were exclamations from the audience, and many actors covered their mouths in surprise.

"What? The best director award will be awarded! Is it the same person? Which lucky person has such an honor?"

Tom's astonishing words brought the atmosphere of the entire awards ceremony to a climax, and the ratings of the television station that broadcast the Oscars ceremony reached a peak.

The people below have started brainstorming.

"Promulgated at the same time, if it is the same movie, then the producer and director of this movie are the same person. Who is it, is it Martin Scorsese?"

On the stage, Tom Hanks slowly read the words on the letter paper.

"Best Director and Best Picture Winner, Slumdog Millionaire Claire Dorries! Claire! Congratulations! All your dreams come true!"

Claire lost her mind when she heard this sentence. She didn't expect that she would be the one who won both awards at the same time.

Dawn next to her patted her on the shoulder, happier than he himself had won the award: "Great!" The crew around her cheered.

Since Claire is also the producer, he will receive the two statuettes.

When she came to the stage, there was a long and warm applause from the audience.

She felt a little complicated about winning these two awards at the same time. After she calmed down a little, she cleared her throat: "...Actually, I didn't expect that I would win the best director award at all."

The off-site live broadcast is already boiling.Who would have expected that these two heavyweight awards would be awarded together this year!Also sent to the same person!It's that miracle director!

Claire changed her tone and said sincerely: "Actually, I didn't do it out of modesty, because I am competing with top directors. I think any modesty and courteousness to you is contempt. But if there is no concession from the seniors, I will always It is impossible for me to observe and study your film techniques to have this opportunity..."

She stood up straight: "Passing the torch, every person in the film industry is changing the entire circle, and everyone here is changing this Hollywood. I think it is because of you that today's film industry has become It's getting more and more prosperous!"

There was thunderous applause from the audience, and many people sitting in front of the TV watching also applauded spontaneously for her sincerity.

She has a trophy in each hand.After finishing all the words, she held the statuette in both hands, slowly bent down to the audience, and bowed to the audience and everyone in front of the TV.

After she stood up straight, she raised the statuette above her head: "Thank you!"
