Chapter 41 The Ridicule from the Best Director Oscar
The two Vietnam War movies have been entangled until the Oscars on April 4th.Relevant comments on TV and newspapers were dominated by "Glorious Return" and "Deer Hunter", and "Going to the Wrong Heaven and Casting the Wrong Birth" which also received 9 nominations seems to have been forgotten by everyone.
Ronald was sitting alone on the sofa in the living room watching the live television broadcast of the awards show.
Mara broke up with him anyway, and her yawning appearance appeared frequently on TV for several days, embarrassing Mara in front of her friends.And Ronald wantonly criticized Michael Cimino, the director of "The Deer Hunter" on TV, making the circle of high school girls who adore Hollywood and Oscars feel that he is a fake expert who doesn't know how to pretend to know.
The higher the call for "Deer Hunter" to win the award, the more it reflects Ronald's ignorance of movies. It is not surprising that he was spurned by high school girls.
In addition, I failed to recommend Mara to other film crews...
"The police have arrested 17 demonstrators. This incident will not have a negative impact on the awards show..."
Before the awards ceremony, the news reported a demonstration of several hundred people against Oscar's nomination of racist films such as "The Deer Hunter" and films slandering the Vietnamese People's Army. The police also arrested the leaders.
Ronald was delighted to see it, yes!He didn't have the slightest liking for this movie or its director.
This year's awards ceremony was held in the Dorothy Chandler Hall of the Los Angeles Music Hall. The TV camera swept away, and an oversized model of the Oscar trophy was placed on the outer wall of the hall, shining golden light.
Security guards wearing red coats and black bow ties stood in a row, lined up to welcome the star convoy, and helped the slowly moving convoy open the doors to set off passengers.On the other hand, they also separated potential demonstrators and fanatical fans who got into the outer protective circle.
The off-site host began to report the names and backgrounds of every arriving male star and female star.All nominees enjoy high-quality treatment and will report the awards and movies they have been nominated for.
Among the stars Ronald recognized were the Superman actor Reeve, the veteran British movie star Lawrence Oliver, and a few familiar blonde beauties, but unfortunately he couldn't remember what movies he acted in.
Jane Fonda was also captured by the camera. Today she wore a lavender one-shoulder dress that exposed her collarbone, and it was covered with Bling Bling sequins, shining under the lights.
The opening scene of the Oscars is a medley of film scores.Three different orchestras played the theme songs of the three films nominated for best soundtrack this year.
This year's host has a newcomer, Johnny Carson, host of the NBC talk show "The Tonight Show."With profound skills, he made a few jokes as soon as he came up.
"This year is the 51st Academy Awards ceremony, there are 2 hours of exciting shows, and a boring party that is stretched to 4 hours."
"There are 3 million people around the world watching the TV broadcast of this awards show. Including South America, so the former presidents and former financial directors of the studios can also watch the live broadcast."
This is a mockery of the financial scandals of several major film studios in the past two years. After being sued by the IRS, several high-level executives fled to South America.
"Standing on this solemn occasion, I feel very proud. I saw a lot of new faces, especially those who were repaired on the old faces."
"The movies this year have been excellent, and for me personally, 'Birded in the Wrong Heaven' is especially true, and for the first time in history, the lead actor, Warren Beatty, couldn't find a character he could 'use'. body."
In short, if you pay attention to the current gossip, Johnny Carson's jokes are still very good, and you can take them in and out.
At the end of the opening speech, because it was the first time to televise Xiangjiang in the Chinese-speaking region this year, Johnny Carson introduced Mr. Zhang, a Chinese-American, and delivered a speech on stage.Ronald was surprised, but also a little excited. It was the first time in history that a Chinese descendant made an opening speech in Chinese at the Oscar ceremony.
"At the end, I have to laugh when I come to Hong Kong. Pretty boys should like aluminum boys, and aluminum boys should like pretty boys..."
Ronald was stunned for a long time, as if Mr. Zhang told a joke in Cantonese.
what the hell!Next time I use Mandarin, Budong, do you know it?
The first major award to be handed out was Best Supporting Actor. "The Deer Hunter"'s Christopher Walken took the lead over "The Homecoming"'s Bruce Dern. 0:1
Ronald picked up the teacup and drank the lipstick tea, don't worry, the good show is yet to come.I have completely substituted into the mentality of the crew of "Glorious Return", and have the same hatred for "Deer Hunter".
Then there are a lot of small awards for persuasion, short films, and documentaries.
The second important award was Best Editing, also won by "The Deer Hunter". 0:2
Ronald ate a waffle, well, it is possible to lose first and then come back.
Then there are a bunch of insignificant awards for best soundtrack, best foreign language film and so on.
The third important award is Best Supporting Actress. "The Deer Hunter" newcomer Meryl Streep is nominated for this.
Ronald was a little nervous. If he wins again, it will be 0:3, and there are not many opportunities left for the "Returning" crew.
According to the usual practice, the Best Supporting Actress will be presented by the actor who has won the Best Supporting Actor before.This time, Hollywood veteran George Burns is invited. He is over 80 years old and won Best Supporting Actor at the age of 79. He is the oldest actor to win the award so far.
Presenting the award with him was a tall young girl, Brooke Shields, who swept the American film industry last year as the heroine of "Legend of Yanwa".
In the close-up shot, Brooke Stoudemire is tall and shabby, with long hair and shawls, and her two eyebrows have not been trimmed. She looks very rough and wild, but she just rightly modifies her slightly soft eyes, neutralizes the overall temperament, and looks more and more beautiful. Show the unique beauty of Brooke Stoudemire.
Old Burns gave up the opportunity to announce the winner to Brooke Stoudemire, who could be his granddaughter.Brooke Stoudemire isn't stage-frightened, "The winner is...Maggie Smith, 'California Suite'"
This is an interesting coincidence. Maggie Smith played a British female star in the movie "California Suite". She was nominated for an Oscar. She came to Los Angeles to attend the award ceremony, but she didn't win the award. In the end, she and her husband got back together.
Maggie Smith herself is also a British actress. In reality, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for playing a female star who did not win an Oscar.
In addition to the 60s, she also won the Oscar queen, which can be regarded as a successful acting career, and won the grand slam of performance awards in the United Kingdom and the United States.
Ronald relaxed a bit. It's a good thing that he didn't get 0:3 by "Deer Hunter". The newcomer Streep, as expected, his acting skills are still not good enough.
Then "Ronggui" won the best original screenplay, beating "The Deer Hunter" head-on.
Ronald poured another cup of black tea from the kettle to taste, 1:2.
Best Adapted Screenplay went to "Midnight Express" writer Oliver Stone.It tells the story of an American youth who was wrongfully thrown into prison by Turkey.
It was thought that leading actors and actresses would be awarded next, but at this moment, Cary Grant, a big star in Hollywood's golden age, suddenly stepped onto the podium.Ronald was stunned for a moment. Gary had withdrawn from the public eye for many years and rarely attended public events.Today is...?
It turned out that he was here to present the Oscar Lifetime Honorary Award to his good friend, British Shakespeare master, film actor, Sir Laurence Oliver.
Lawrence Oliver was very old and his hair was thinning, but his basic skills were still perfect. He spoke the award speech in a Shakespeare accent, and the audience burst into applause.Lawrence, who was applauded and respected by everyone, still vaguely had the chicness of staying and flying with Vivien Leigh back then.He also made a movie last year, and he is considered a veteran.
Next came the most intense award for Best Actor and Actor. The two Vietnam War film crews were both nominated.
Presenting the best actress award is last year's best actor winner Richard Dreyfuss, and his female partner is the great beauty Shirley McLean.Shirley is a person who doesn't follow the rules. She didn't announce the nomination list immediately, but broadcast the missing person notice on the spot.
"Oh, my dear brother, where are you? My dear, gifted, lovely, intelligent, sexy brother, Warren Beatty, where are you?"
"Oh, Warren, Warren, Warren, just imagine, what prize do you get for working with your sister?"
Ronald spit out the black tea in his mouth in one gulp. This is asking for a belt on the spot, asking for a prize.It turns out that she is the director and lead actor of "Wrong Birth in the Wrong Paradise", Warren Beatty's older sister. I don't know why the last names of the siblings are different?
Richard Dreyfuss stepped forward to announce this year's Best Actress winner: Jane Fonda.
"Hahaha, 2:2" Ronald laughed again.
Jane Fonda's words of thanks were quite special. She learned sign language and translated the first paragraph of her words of thanks in sign language on the spot.
"I use sign language because the party organizers don't allow me to bring my own whiteboard subtitles for the hearing-impaired to watch. This award is for the disabled across the country, for the disabled Vietnam Veterans, and with the many war-disabled people in North Vietnam And got..."
The audience applauded again.
The best actor award was given to the ex-music queen Ginger Rogers, who had grown into a ball. The old lady's lines skills were still strong, and she outmatched the black singer Diana Ross, the guest of honor.
The reason why Diana Ross was able to appear at the Oscars was because last year she starred in a black version of "The Wizard of Oz" with rising music star Michael Jackson and other blacks.Of course, it goes without saying that it was a disastrous failure at the box office and awards.
"Best Actor winner is ... Jon Voight, 'Homecoming,'" proclaimed Fat Old Lady Ginger Rogers.
3:2, go-ahead.
Ronald heaved a sigh of relief. He hated "The Deer Hunter" so much, partly because Mara accused him of not being able to understand "The Deer Hunter". 3 hours of lengthy film, the first third of the wedding was filmed, and I dozed off watching it, what's the advantage?
The other half is Fat Michael Cimino mocking him for his lack of artistic talent.If the deer hunter failed this time, he would prove himself right, and there would be nothing to be angry about.
"The Deer Hunter" failed both male and female leads, and Ronald is not so angry. It can get so many nominations, maybe it is the operation of Universal Company?
The last two awards, and the two most important ones, are Best Director and Best Picture.
For the best director award, is the "Godfather" director Francis Coppola.
After Coppola took the stage, he was a little upset. He said a lot about the great significance of a director, not only should he make a film, but also lead the society to think.The director is the novelist of the new age, the Leo Tolstoy of the new age, Dostoevsky...
The newspapers said his "Apocalypse Now" should have snatched the title of the first big-budget film to reflect positively on the trauma of the Vietnam War.It's a pity that due to various accidents, the new film has not been released until now, and was preempted by "Deer Hunter".
Finally finished, Coppola announced the winners:
"The winner of the best director award is my colleague Michael Cimino."
"Hey, it's hot..." Ronald accidentally got his tongue scalded by the black tea, "What kind of judges, really unreliable."
Fat boy Michael Cimino came on stage, kissed the female guest, stained his mouth with lipstick, and the female guest had to wipe it off with his hands.He seemed very excited and was about to deliver his acceptance speech, and when he spoke, he showed his plump double chin:
"It's very difficult to be humble enough to say how proud you are on an occasion like this. But I'm proud to be here, proud of the films we've made, proud to be part of the Hollywood tradition..."
Ronald was silent for a while, "Hey, Oscar for Best Director!" What is he?A clown like Sleepy Luo, no one remembers who he is anymore.
Best Picture is awarded last, usually and Best Director goes to a single film.In other words, "The Deer Hunter" has already won the 51st Oscar.
The award presenter was John Wayne, the number one tough guy in Western films who was already seriously ill.But at this time, he was already out of shape due to the pain.John Wayne is also a tough guy in reality, he refused anyone's support and company, and insisted on completing his final public appearance independently.
He endured a lot of pain and slowly read all the nomination lists.The entire audience gave him a standing ovation in honor of his fearless act.
"Win the best picture - 'Deer Hunter'".
As expected.
Ronald got up and turned off the TV, and walked out of the apartment, the spring breeze blowing on him very well.He walked to the small grocery store at the corner of the street, bought a pack of black tea, thought about it, and took a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes and a pack of matches.He, who had never smoked, lit one for the first time, and slowly smoked.
"I'm so proud to be here..." Ronald thought about Fat Michael Cimino's acceptance speech.
Yes, being able to come to the Oscars ceremony and receive the award on stage is indeed an achievement that I am very proud of...
And what about myself?Fat Boy's sarcasm sounded in his ears again: "If this is the true point of view of this sleepy Luo, I advise him not to take the path of movies. The perception of beauty and art is a talent, and his talent, no matter how hard he works It’s hard to get ahead in the film industry.”
Ronald's ears were turning red again.
The deepest ridicule others make of you is actually ignoring...
