Chapter 317 Unparalleled, for granted

Playing all aspects of a character to the extreme is the meaning of an actor. The following are nominations for Best Actor at this year's Oscar.

After Natalie, wearing a purple long dress, said these with a smile on the stage, the faces of the candidates appeared in turn and introduced them.

Philip Seymour Hoffman of Capote, David Stratzen of Good Night, Good Luck, Adrian Brody of Pianist, Terrence Howard of the River and Vigo Motson of History of Violence.

Just as people whispered and made their final guess, Natalie had already opened the envelope: The Oscar winner is, Adrian Brody!

Immediately, the applause and the soundtrack of "Pianist" sounded. Brody held her hands in front of her, as if she couldn't believe it, but immediately stood up and shook hands with her friends around her to celebrate, and hugged Adrian.

Thank you, Mr. Cowell.He said excitedly.

This is what you deserve.Adrian patted his shoulder and glanced around at the same time, unable to help but laugh in his heart, which must have disappointed many people.

Brody won the Best Actor means that no one should belong to "Pianist", so don't forget what Brody's name is.

Although these are somewhat idealistic, don't forget that there are not many atheists here.

How do you feel? Are you ready?After Brody finished speaking and Natalie came down with him, Adrian asked with a smile.

Natalie was obviously nervous, but she still looked at the top and replied in a barely calm tone: I'm waiting.

Then watch it carefully.Adrian said leisurely.

However, although he said this, he was not calm. After all, what he had to do was something that had never been in the history of Oscars. The girl from the Holy City, who coexisted with wisdom and beauty, would certainly receive support from many people, but at the same time he would lose the votes in the hands of many people. Therefore, he was not 100% sure whether the final result would be as he thought.

At this time, Stewart above ended his description, and Ruifan, who looked handsome in the suit, had already walked up: Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, I know that at this time of year, everyone is very anxious, just like I did last year, so I try to make time faster, the Oscar nomination is as follows

Like before, the screen starts to play movie clips of the nominee, and the first to bear the brunt of Judy Denchi's... "Scandal Notes".

Frankly speaking, Adrian was surprised when he got the nomination list, remembering that Judy Denitch should have been nominated for "Mrs. Henderson's Gift."

However, she did get nominations for "Scandal Notes", but that should be next year. Adrian initially thought Blanchett was considering taking the movie ahead of time, but he didn't expect Judy Denchi to nominate the Best Actress for this movie.

Logically speaking, if she really wants to win the award, she should choose "Mrs. Henderson's Gift". After all, this year marks the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, and there are many plots about German bombing in the second half of this movie.

But then again, compared to Judy Dench's previous roles, the heroine of "Scandal Notes" seems a bit unusual. This is a villain protagonist. She can easily give people a deep impression among inspirational nominees and may have a miraculous effect.

Of course, the character is not that perfect, she is always a good one anyway, Judy Dench’s idea doesn’t require Adrian’s attention, let alone…

So he just thought about it and continued to pay attention to the next scene. The remaining four nominations were all his women, and Kaila might not be considered a matter of it, but no one cares, right?

What's more, time is coming.

The second one appears is the scene of Kate in "The Storm of the North". She is wearing dirty clothes that only miners have. She is scattered with her hair and loudly sarcastic about the timid people around her. The scene rotates 270 degrees with her, and it looks very tense in combination with angry language.

Frankly speaking, her acting skills are much better now than in another time and space.

Next is Kayla in "Pride and Prejudice". The excerpt of Elizabeth accusing Darcy on a rainy day. Kayla's acting skills are not particularly outstanding in this scene, but her continuous and ups and downs to the London accent makes her look particularly cute.

Adrian couldn't help but look at the seat where she was sitting. Kaila also looked over. Although she didn't dare to make too many expressions because the camera was facing her, she still made a light hum that only he could see. At the same time, the left hand placed under her right hand clenched into a fist and swung her left and right. She was really good at picking places to tease her.

The fourth one is Nicole from "Time Traveling Through America". The selection of the clips is very ordinary, but it highlights her acting skills. She specially practiced speaking in a low voice for a while for the movie, and also contacted several transgender people. She observed their lives and took many details into the movie. With makeup, if you don't look closely, you really can't tell that this is the famous Nicole Kidman.

Unfortunately, because she had a big belly, she made an excuse not to be on the scene, and only a photo on the screen was.

Natalie finally appeared, and the clip she chose was the last to wake up. She was a messy room, from shallow to deep, and she gradually changed from fierceness to confusion to fear. She finally squatted down and hugged her, sobbing gently in fear, which was quite layered, and the infectiousness erupted instantly.

Then, Revan opened the envelope: The Oscar winner is, Natalie Portman!

When he announced his name, there was a silence at the scene for at least two seconds, and then, an uproar mixed with applause.

Remember what I said?Adrian clapped calmly, while Natalie pursed her lips and grabbed the handrail and trembled slightly, as if she could not believe it at all.

But she finally stood up steadily, hugged Adrian, and walked onto the stage quickly.

...Thank you, at this moment, all I can think of is this word.

After taking the Little Golden Man from Ruifan, Natalie, who had been brewing for a long time, said with a tremolo, "I never thought I would stand here again so quickly." I never thought I would hold up the trophy for the Best Actress again, I never... I just want to say, thank you Mr. Adrian Cowell, it was your discovery, and you guided me to step onto the stage and stand here step by step. Thank you very much, I will definitely go on a better way...

Her abnormal performance made Adrian raise his eyebrows. If most of the relationship between her and him in the media was just described in speculative tone, then after this award speech, they could change into a positive tone.

It would be fine if it was just like this. His last sentence was obviously a reminder to him not to forget his promise to her.

The final struggle?Adrian smiled, not caring, and after she thanked a lot of people and came down with applause, she opened her arms and hugged Natalie again.

The touching speech was very pleasant.He whispered to her with a smile, not caring that the camera was facing him.

I just want to say...I just want to say...those are...my truth.Natalie swept her hair on her ears, her eyelids drooped and she didn't dare to look at him.

Adrian didn't care at all, and kept his eyes on the stage, and even raised his index finger to his mouth and snorted: Okay, what are you talking about later, now the most critical moment is coming.

Compared to just now, he has felt much more relaxed at this moment. Natalie's best actress may really have a chance to turn the tables, but this one will definitely not be the next one.

The five directors chose realistic themes without exception, so let’s take a look at the nominations now.

Award presenter Tom Hanks was already on the stage, and a few minutes later he pronounced his name: Adrian Cowell!

Applause, warm applause, deafening applause, and when Adrian stood up with a smile, everyone in the audience stood up.

Even though a considerable number of people are not convinced, there is nothing to do with it. There is no possibility of any change after the list is announced. Adrian's record-breaking third-time Best Director is a fact that it will be recorded in Oscar history. In addition, Natalie won the Best Actress for the past and Brody won the Best Actor. The Film Academy has determined his position in Hollywood with practical actions.

So no matter what, we must watch him ascend to the throne with humility at this moment.

Congratulations, Ed, it's unparalleled.Hanks said sincerely after handing the little golden man to Adrian.

Thanks, Tommy.Adrian nodded, stood in front of the microphone with the trophy, then glanced at the audience, smiled slightly, raised his hand and raised it, thanked again: Thank you!

No reserve, no pride, no pride, no conceit, only for granted!

That's right, starting from the production of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, he prepared for almost 7 years for this day. During this period, he experienced countless things. Looking back, even he was a little surprised.

After spending so much time, using so much energy, and trying every means to take advantage of the situation, what can't be taken for granted?

Some people may feel that it is unfair. They have been the best director for three consecutive years. Even if they buy the film academy or make a behind-the-scenes transaction, they are unlikely to achieve this. Adrian must have superpowers and hypnotize all members who can vote in film academy.

Of course, they will definitely never know what it means to take advantage of the situation. The so-called historical trend is vast, and if it follows, it will prosper and deficit, it will perish. This is the importance of momentum. Only fools will believe that as long as the movie is good enough.

He was able to take advantage of the momentum and could shake even the high peaks, and Adrian just took advantage of the foresight and grasped this momentum firmly in his hands.

First, he continued to run the film academy with the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, nominated every year and praised everyone. In addition, the huge popularity of "Lord of the Rings" itself and the Academy itself seeks new and change. The last time he won the award was several years ago, so he won the first Best Director.

Then, borrowing the increasingly vigorous gay movement in the early 21st century, especially Massachusetts became the first state to allow homosexual marriage in 2004, further stimulated the development of various homosexual organizations. In the context of this massive social movement, Brokeback Mountain was launched, and at the same time, he used some methods and won the second best director in exchange for giving up the best movie.

Needless to say, the Jewish Holocaust, the 60th anniversary of the victory of World War II, opened fire mercilessly on European movies, stood firmly on the side of Hollywood, and with the transactions of various internal forces, they won the third place without any difficulties.

As long as this order is slightly reversed, it is impossible to be so successful, especially before and after "Brokeback Mountain" and "Pianist", which is very particular, so what Adrian is most worried about is the gains and losses of the second best director. It is precisely because "Brokeback Mountain" won the best director again and when it comes to "Pianist", it is also given, and if it is not given, it is also given, not to mention there is a transaction.

This is the power of momentum. Of course, other factors are also important, such as the quality of the film as the basics must pass, otherwise the previous ones will be nothing more than castles in the air.

Or maybe Adrian pursues awards as the best director rather than the best film, and repeatedly assured the Academy that he would never seek the best director again this time.

Although the best movie is the highest honor for filmmakers, this award is not given to directors like the Palme d'Or, but to production companies. The three-time best movie is no more famous than the three-time best director, and it is more likely to be jealous of people.

As for not seeking the best director anymore, I have won the best director four times. How many more do I want to win?

John Ford only took it four times.

Some people may say that they have reached this point. Isn’t it good to win another one? Isn’t it good to become an unprecedented person who won the five best directors in Oscar history?

Of course not. If it is decades later, Adrian might have thought so, but it is absolutely not possible now. The so-called wood is outstanding in the forest and wind will destroy it. If it only appears a little, then there will naturally be no problem. But if too many appear, it will be easily blown down by the wind.

So what if John Ford's record is tied?

Adrian is already unique just by winning the best director three times in a row, and it doesn't matter how much time he has spent on this moment.

Moreover, based on his understanding of the film school, after this, the agreement that internal privately will definitely make will not appear the next best director who will be ranked three times a day.

So, why can't he accept this third little golden man for granted?

This is an unparalleled glory, thanks to everyone, I will always remember it in my heart.

After saying his speech, Adrian raised the trophy and raised it again, then owed slightly, and warm applause rang again.

After that, there is no need to say anything more. In exchange, the best movie was won by Capote, and the 78th Oscar came to an end.

As for the Vanity Fair party behind, there is nothing to say. Adrian never missed it every time, so he naturally participated in it.

However, the problem is that as the newly released Best Director who won the three consecutive times, countless people came to say hello to him at the party that night, whether they were familiar or unfamiliar, so that his women could not find the opportunity to chat with him alone, and some of the retained projects had to be given up.

The only gain was that Philip Seymour Hoffman promised that if the role was right, he would be willing to play the main role in the film recommended by Adrian, whether directed by him or not.

It has been 2006. The stage version of "Child Abuse" that was abandoned was performed on Broadway, New York without any surprise, and won the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Prize. Some things are still developing according to the established rules.

In this regard, Adrian, who was paying attention, naturally got the adaptation rights as soon as possible. Natalie couldn't use it, but it didn't mean that others couldn't use it either. Although he could completely relax and rest now, he still had to consider it for women, right?

Philip Seymour Hoffman plays the priest in the original version, and Adrian is too lazy to find others and compensate him by the way.

After all, Hoffman should have won the Best Actor at this Oscar. Unfortunately, because Adrian intervened, the gay character had won the Best Actor before this. Brody's competitiveness became particularly strong because of his Jewishness and a series of factors this year, which eventually led to his defeat.

This not only sells personal favors but also maintains the level of the movie. Why not do it?

Although he was unable to be intimate with Kate and the others at the party, the show that night was still indispensable. Although Natalie was surrounded by a large group of people because she won the Best Actress for the rest of the year and failed to talk to Adrian, she finally secretly got into the RV he was preparing to be at the back door.

As the first woman to accompany Adrian on Oscar Night for two consecutive years, she has also voted for one. Of course, Natalie will definitely not be proud of it.

But despite this, under Adrian's teasing, Natalie took the initiative to linger with him in the car for the first time, and went all the way to the villa in Malibu.

But she thought this would satisfy him, so she was very wrong. When the RV stopped in the garage, Adrian had no intention of stopping. He continued to be kind to her in the car. After the driver left completely, he picked up Natalie and got out of the car. He did this while leaving the garage and then entered the house, and he also circled around the vestibule.

No...don't do this... Natalie, who couldn't struggle, tightened her body and begged to say this as she passed by the courtyard.

how?I have done so much for you, and you can't even meet this requirement?This was Adrian's joking answer, and the other party's body became even tighter.

As always, although the Oscars are over, there are still many aftermaths. For example, some media have made various sour jokes about Adrian's three consecutive best directors, and have made various hints about Natalie's best actress. The film school's behavior of dividing cakes, and none of the popular movies won more than three awards, is the best proof. In short, there are all kinds of voices.

Mel Gibson's big mouth even openly claimed that this was a Jewish victory. Of course, he was somewhat puzzled and did not attack Adrian, but just complained that he should not please the Jews.
