Chapter 808 Defeat Ultraman
The red carpets there are all the same, and the Oscars are no exception, so there is nothing surprising. Jiang Xiao appeared in the middle and late stages with his "cousin" Liu Lianzi, director Lin Shi and several nominated behind-the-scenes actors.
On the red carpet.
Among them, he and Lin Shi naturally attracted the most attention, and the shouts of many media reporters could be heard immediately. With corresponding achievements, their status will naturally rise.
There are also voices from fans, most of whom are concerned about Jiang Xiao. After all, he is a celebrity artist, and there seems to be a lot of people supporting him. Although they may not necessarily come here specifically for him, it can still indirectly prove that he is now internationally recognized.
Notability is not false bragging.
They kept waving and smiling politely as they walked, until soon a reporter from the red carpet came over to interview everyone, or mainly interview Jiang Xiao and Lin Shi.
The two female reporters surnamed Yang from the domestic movie channel took care of them and interviewed them one by one. After all, they were their own.
It can be seen that the two reporter girls are more excited than the main creator of "Glimmer". He can calm down, but obviously the fact that "Glimmer" was nominated this time has attracted much attention and expectation from the Chinese people.
In short, after giving the most interview time to the two female reporters from the movie channel, Jiang Xiao and the other main creators of "Glimmer" successfully walked through the Oscar red carpet and entered the awards ceremony at the Dolby Theater.
The seats were closer to the front this time, because "Shimmer" is also a popular work that has attracted a lot of attention, and Jiang Xiao himself was also present this time.
Nowadays, he also has a certain status in the international community, which is a fact that others have to admit.
Putting aside these things, after sitting down, there was not a single person around who knew each other. He seemed to have seen only a few that he could remember. "Harley Quinn" counted as one, Emma had an affair, no, Emma Stone counted as one.
I feel like I don’t know many of them.
Also, most of the people Jiang Xiao knows are well-known around the world, and they are not small. He has not been around Hollywood, so it is not surprising that he cannot recognize many people.
Moreover, some behind-the-scenes directors may be familiar with their names and their works, but they may not be able to recognize them in real life.
As the boring wait began, Jiang Xiao chatted with his cheap cousin or Lin Shi from time to time. Fortunately, he didn't have to wait long before the award ceremony started.
The opening is a black and white clip, cleverly adding some current filmmakers, which is quite creative, and follows the host, who is a jerk, the host of the talk show "The Jimmy Show", a pure idiot.
But as a talk show host, it is true that he can talk a lot. It is also a tradition at the Oscars. It depends on the host's personal performance and he makes fun of the star actors who have important nominations.
Jiang Xiao also participates. After all, he is the first Chinese actor to be nominated for Best Actor, and he has attracted a lot of attention and topics.
Although he was a little unfavorable to the host, he still smiled generously and cooperated with the camera.
This session took nearly ten minutes, which shows that the host was also able to talk. It was not until last year's Best Supporting Actress was invited to present the award to today's first Supporting Actor that we got to the real point.
It has nothing to do with "Glimmer". The final winner was a middle-aged white actor from "Three Billboards", beating four other older actors who were either in their 60s, 70s, or 70s or 80s.
The whole process is very routine. The award presenter speaks the written lines and presents the award, and the winner goes on stage to give a speech. There is no surprise at all. No wonder the Oscar ratings are getting lower year by year.
Next, Gal Gadot and a male artist presented the award for Best Makeup and Hairstyling, and the winner was "Darkest Hour."
Then the audience stood up and gave the old Hollywood artist a standing ovation. Respect for the elderly is a common practice all over the world. In short, this old woman awarded the costume design, and the winner was "Phantom Tailor".
Then the awards were given to documentary feature films, then song performances, and then best sound effects editing. Then the host took the time to go off stage and tease Spielberg, asking him if he had raised his mother?
Is this American humor?
Jiang Xiao, who was not smiling, only discovered that the former was there, and that Lao Si was still slightly behind. Could it be because he had no works this time, uh...
In short, Spielberg seems to be a little confused by the "big ma" question. He is probably thinking, should I say that I brought it, or that I didn't bring it?
In the end, I felt my pocket awkwardly and cooperated with the host. The awards continued, and the award for Best Art Direction was finally related to "The Shimmer". It will be the same as "The Shape of Water", "Darkest Hour", "Beauty"
Competing with four movies including "Beast" and "Blade Runner 2049".
But it is a pity that the title of "The Shape of Water" was read out nervously on stage during "The Shimmer" art director Cao Jiupingbai.
Jiang Xiao also has some small regrets. Although it has nothing to do with him personally, after all, it is an honor for "Shimmer" to be able to win it.
After this award, there was another performance, and after it was over, the old artist Rita Moreno came on stage to award the award, and the audience stood up...
Best Foreign Language Film, "Glimmer" wins.
After the five film nominations, Rita Moreno directly opened the envelope and announced: "The one who won the Oscar..."
But the old lady paused mid-sentence and laughed "hahaha" and said "old cute", which is also...
After laughing loudly, he announced without hesitation: ""Glimmer"!"
This result naturally made the cast and crew of "Glimmer" on Jiang Xiao's side very happy and they stood up one after another.
They also went on stage to receive the award together. After all, this is a common praise for all the participants in front of and behind the scenes, so they should be together.
During the process of taking the stage, he also asked his "cousin" who was wearing high heels to hold his arm to avoid any accidents as much as possible.
"This is the xth time China has been nominated and the second time it has won..."
Along with the background introduction, Jiang Xiao and others stepped onto the stage. Director Lin Shi also received the Oscar trophy from Rita Moreno as a representative and gave a speech.
He and everyone else just went on stage to witness together. There was only one minute for his speech, which was not enough for everyone to speak.
When I came back, the supporting actress award had been awarded, and an old actor won the award.
Then Kobe won an Oscar for a short film related to basketball.
Like Lao Si, Jiang Xiao also saw that Kobe Bryant, a basketball player, was also here. He seemed to have retired, so he was acquainted with him. After all, he was successfully promoted by the media over there to beat Kobe Bryant.
After the film was completed, awards for animated feature films, visual effects, and editing were awarded one after another. In the category of editing, "Glimmer" missed out again.
An interactive short film was played at the awards ceremony. Host Jimmy and Gal Gadot went to a cinema to surprise the audience...it should have been pre-recorded.
As documentary shorts, live-action shorts, adapted screenplays, original screenplays, and cinematography were awarded one after another in the passage of time, "Glimmer" once again regretted that it failed to win the original screenplay and photography.
Five of the eight awards have final results, and only one won for foreign language film. There are still three heavyweight awards for best director, actor, and film that have not been announced yet. There is still hope. No matter how low it is, there is a 20% chance that it will not be
.
It was almost the second half of the awards ceremony. After Best Score and Original Song, Emma Stone came on stage to present the Best Director Award.
Jiang Xiao could also clearly notice that Lin Shi, who was sitting next to him, was obviously nervous. It seemed that the other party was not as calm as him.
The contenders for Best Director this time include Nolan of "Dunkirk", "Gyro" of "The Shape of Water", the female director of "Lady Bird", and the director of "Get Out".
director.
When the scenes of Lin Shi and five other directors were cut to the big screen, Emma Stone also announced: "The one who won the Oscar is Lin Shi's "Glimmer"!"
"Whoa whoa whoa~!!!"
As the audience burst into polite applause, Jiang Xiao stood up immediately and gave Lin Shi a big hug to congratulate him.
This guy was obviously shocked to a certain extent, and even his reaction was half a beat too slow.
Also, not everyone can win as many awards as him, and the Oscars are also downplayed. Of course it’s good to win. If you don’t win, you won’t win. You won’t worry about gains and losses for a while.
But no matter what, at this moment Lin Shi has reached a highlight moment in his career.
However, when the next award was presented by Jane Fonda, who was also a beautiful woman when she was young, and Helen Mirren, another grandmother, for Best Actor, Jiang Xiao also ushered in the "highlight" moment tonight.
He heard grandma Jane Fonda call out his name, successfully outperforming Daniel Day-Lewis, Denzel Washington, "Sweet Tea" in "Call Me by Your Name", and the last memory he took.
The Ultraman of this year's Best Actor... er, the four of them are Oldman and Gary Oldman.
Chapter completed!
