Hollywood Road

Chapter 353: Shelling Lee Ang

Holding the heavy golden man in one hand, Murphy unfolded the note with the other.

In order to make the award ceremony more compact and to improve the slow and lengthy drawbacks of the Oscars, the college only gave each winner 40 seconds to express their acceptance speech.

"I'm sorry..." Murphy took the time to start his acceptance speech, but the first sentence was an apology, "I failed to achieve the set goal of breaking up 15 million couples and couples in North America."

There was a burst of laughter below the stage, which was obviously a joke.

"However, I am very happy to see that couples and couples who have watched "The Lost Lovers" can continue to walk hand in hand." Murphy turned to look at the location of Gal Gadot, "So, I Standing here, I want to thank someone, the most important person in my life."

Although she didn't say her name directly, Gal Gadot knew that the person Murphy was talking about was herself. She covered her mouth, her shoulders trembled slightly, and she looked very excited.

The first person Murphy thanked was her, enough to testify how important she was to him.

There was a round of applause around, which drove the whole theater to applause. Gal Gadot controlled his emotions, resisted the water droplets in his eyes, and slapped his palms lightly and vigorously.

Time is limited, Murphy speeds up his speech, "Thanks to the college and the judges, this award is the best recognition for me."

He looked at the note and said one by one, "Thanks to Bill Rossis, you are such a rare agent. Thanks to Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Seth Rogen and Jonah. Hill, you are four bastards, but you are my brothers. Thank you Charlize Theron, you have completely played the role of Amy. Thank you to every member of the crew. Your support is the key to the success of the film. .Thank Carla Faith, you are my mentor and helpful friend. Thank you my friend, you have been silently caring about me and supporting me..."

Since it is not easy to mention Rose's name directly, Murphy can only express it in this obscure way.

"Thank you!"

Murphy bowed slightly, pinching time to end his acceptance speech, and under the leadership of the emcee, walked into the backstage with Scarlett Johansson.

He and Scarlett Johansson did not know each other, and the polite greetings had been completed on the stage, and there was no extra communication.

Coming to the backstage, Murphy accepted a routine interview from the organizer and said something like "I am very happy to win the prize" and "Thank you for the academy's approval" and returned to the theater.

This awards ceremony has reached the end.

This year’s Oscar seems to be destined not to make any movie a real big winner. The rhythm of dividing the cake is still going on. "Brokeback Mountain" and "Crash" took away the best adapted screenplay and the best editing, respectively. The heavyweight best actor and best actress awards won nothing.

"The nomination list for the best actor is..."

Hilary Swank introduced the nomination list with the big screen, "Philip Seymour Hoffman "Capote", James Franco "The Lost Lover", Joaquin Phoenix "Going Nowhere", Big "Good Night, Good Luck" by David Strezern..."

Listening to the nomination list, James Franco is very calm compared to the others. He is very clear that the possibility of winning is infinitely close to zero.

The final winner read from Hilary Swank's mouth is indeed not him.

"The Oscar winner is Philip Seymour Hoffman, "Capote."

This actor who can kill James Franco just in terms of age and qualifications, won the first Oscar statuette in his life.

However, compared to his dry acceptance speech, perhaps Jon Stewart's ridicule is more interesting.

"Capote shows the nation that not all homosexuals are cowboys, and some are sissy New York intellectuals."

Everything is moving in the direction Murphy remembers, Reese Witherspoon picked up the best actress, and another Hollywood vase completed its transformation at the Oscar.

When Dustin Hoffman stands on the stage with a big envelope, whether the Chinese can win the first Oscar for best director trophy will soon be announced.

"The following five directors have produced wonderful films for us in the past year."

Listening to the list read by Dustin Hoffman, Murphy turned to look at the crew of "Brokeback Mountain", Ang Lee's face was tight and full of tension.

"Ann-Lee "Brokeback Mountain", Murphy Stanton "The Lost Lover", George Clooney "Good Night, Good Luck", Steven Spielberg "Munich", Paul Haggis "Crash"... …"

Looking back from the other side, Murphy felt Gal Gadot holding her hand, and she said comfortingly, "My dear, you are still young and there is always a chance."

"I understand." Murphy nodded slightly.

Having said that, it is absolutely impossible for Murphy to be nominated for best director for the first time without being nervous or eager, even if he knew that he would never win the prize.

"The winner of the best director is..." Dustin Hoffman opened the envelope and said, "Ann-Li "Brokeback Mountain"!"

With applause, Murphy and Gal Gadot slowly stood up with the people standing in the back row, patted their palms lightly, and watched the first Chinese director step onto the stage of receiving the Oscar for best director.

"Now the best director is given to Ann Lee."

Looking at the director who was accepting the award and preparing to speak on the stage, Gal Gadot suddenly said softly, "Then, as usual, the probability of "Brokeback Mountain" winning the best film should be great."

"My dear." After sitting down, Murphy raised her index finger and shook it slightly. "This time the Oscar split cake means too obvious. The chances of "Crash" will be greater, and the theme is more in line with the Oscars. Taste."

Having said that, he quieted down, and Li Ang began his acceptance speech.

"First of all, I have to thank many people who are present and not present..." Li An continued after reading out a long list. "This movie is not about homosexuality, women, love, but love itself. Thank you everyone for your support, thank me My wife and son, I love you and I will always be with you. Although my father passed away unfortunately during this period, I want to thank the mother in my family."

Having said that, he changed Murphy's very kind Chinese, "and compatriots from Taiwan, Hong Kong and the mainland. Finally, thank you for your concern!"

Although it was a standard yellow-skinned white heart, Murphy was the first to clap his palms when he heard the last Chinese, and the applause was extremely loud.

Gal Gadot, who was next to him, knew him well and couldn't help but glanced at Murphy in surprise. She could feel that Murphy was a congratulation from the heart, not a routine.

"When was he also interested in films like Brokeback Mountain?"

She was quite puzzled, but the best picture was about to be awarded, and she shook her head and threw it all over.

The award ceremony came to the end. When Jack Nicholson opened the envelope and read the answer, the crew of "Crash" who participated in the award ceremony with the most cheers, they staged a big reversal at the last minute and won the best film. The little golden man.

The Oscar has always been the Oscar of the United States, and it will never be separated from the influence of politics and American themes. "Crash" is a specimen-style Oscar-themed composition. Suspense, horror, racial issues, and human nature discussions. It is also a matter of course to get the best film. .

Don't forget, although there are a bunch of **** groups outside who are supporting "Brokeback Mountain", there are also many people who oppose it. Oscar can't turn a blind eye to the over 100,000 signature opposition actions organized by the Anti-Gay League.

Besides, "Crash" tells the story of racial confrontation in Los Angeles, and many film school judges are either Los Angeles or live in the Los Angeles area. Under similar public relations conditions, how will these people choose? One can imagine.

This year’s Oscar awards ceremony ended. Murphy won the first Oscar statuette in her life, but many media questioned the statuette of the best original screenplay, believing that "The Lost Lovers" defeated "Crash". There must be a shady inside.

However, this kind of voice is rare, because the mainstream media focuses on "Crash" and "Brokeback Mountain".

Unlike Murphy's entire team that is very united, with multiple factors including the uneven distribution of the spoils at the Oscars, the two crews have experienced serious infighting.

Bob Illy, one of the producers of "Crash", was not selected to give a speech at the Oscars. He actually took the Producers League, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, and his crew to court at the same time, because according to the Oscars According to the rules, only two representatives can be selected to give speeches on stage for a work that has won the Best Picture Award. The producer and the crew selected the film’s screenwriter and director Paul Haggis and another female producer Kay Sherman, so Illie failed to do so.

However, the ‘plaintiff’ Illy who caused the incident, and the defendant at the same time-the female producer Sheurman who gave a speech on stage, subsequently sued him for “fraud, breach of contract” and other reasons.

"Brokeback Mountain" did not make trouble in court, but the starring and director turned directly against each other.

Heath Ledger, who played the leading role, was quite annoyed that he failed to win the best actor. His personality was originally a quirk. He directly attacked director Ang Lee in the media, saying that he did not give him any help in the filming. He also left him aside, and he didn't even mention him in the final acceptance speech.

There have been rumors about the discord between this crew. Many media have reported that Heath Ledger has stopped talking to Ang Lee since the propaganda period.

However, Ang Lee had already won the best director Golden Man, and he didn't bother to care about this kind of thing. He didn't make any response at all. Heath Ledger quickly died without a slap.

But the turmoil caused by Oscar did not end there, the Federal Internal Revenue Service seemed not to be busy enough, and came to get in.

(Heath Ledger did bombard Ang Lee.)
