Best Actor

    With the enthusiastic music, this year's Oscar host Billy Crystal stood on the stage, just saying "I said two years ago, I will be back", with the intention of The hideous appearance made by imitating the Terminator immediately caused a lot of laughter, worthy of being an excellent comedian who has hosted several Oscars.

    Sean is also laughing, but his attention is not on it. From time to time, he turns his neck slightly and looks around, looking for someone. As one of the nominees for Best Actor, he naturally sat in the front rows, with Jude and Minghella, while Frederick, Galen, and Sanders sat far behind.

    The Oscar ceremony is not limited to the participation of insiders. In addition to nominated actors, big-name stars, and the bosses and producers of various film companies, there are also many ordinary people. However, there are no tickets for the awards ceremony. Generally, the sponsoring film academy gives some invitations to various film companies, brokerage companies, and public relations companies, and then each company decides who can go.

    Frederick leaned on Sean to have one, and then fought for two for him. He originally wanted to give Naomi and Jordana the two spots, but when he asked , Naomi has expressed no interest in participating in the Oscars for the time being. In this case, Sean is not reluctant, but for the sake of fairness, Jordana was not invited, so two places were given to Galen and Sanders.

    For this reason, he deliberately pulled them to order two suits, which looked good after wearing them. It's a pity that when they went in, they went through another dedicated channel for ordinary guests, not the main entrance with the red carpet, so they couldn't show off in front of reporters.

    Unfortunately, the Holy Hall can only accommodate more than 2,000 people. If there are more, more tickets will be distributed. However, it is said that the Kodak Theater will be completed and put into use next year, and future Oscars will be held there, which can accommodate at least 3,400 people. Sean still knows about this theater, and even remembers that Kodak changed its name to the Hollywood Highland Center after bankruptcy, and then was bought by Dolby and became the Dolby Theater.

    Alright, back to the topic, Sean wasn't looking around for Frederick and Galen, he was looking for another person. I was in a hurry on the red carpet before and didn't see it. After I came in, I kept chatting with Jude and the others, and I met Hoffman again. Although this guy was not nominated, so he sat in the back, but he has starred in "Magnolia" and "Genius". Ripley is one of this year's favorites, and Sean's views on him are undoubtedly slowly being confirmed.

    Afterwards, the award ceremony started soon, everyone was sitting and waiting, and it was impossible to observe, so until now.

    Sean quickly found his target. Fortunately, he was not far away. He was in the fifth position in the row in front of the left. Although he could not see the whole body, the goose yellow one-shoulder evening dress was still very clear. Yes, her golden hair dangled back, making the back of her white neck looming, and from time to time she could see the corners of her mouth twitching, as if she was very happy.

    Inadvertently, the other party seemed to be aware of something, or it was completely unintentional, she turned her head back slightly, and immediately met Sean's gaze. Stunned, surprised, and then a little confused, but quickly turned into annoyance, and immediately turned around and stopped looking this way.

      I originally thought that after not seeing her for more than a month, after I had reflected on it, I should be able to treat her with more or less normal heart. I didn't expect that after seeing her at the awards ceremony, she still looked like this.

    Damn, she's Kate, not Helena! He said so to himself, but to basically no avail.

    "The winner of the best costume design is Lindy Heming from "Song and Song"!" There were three female voices on the stage, from left to right Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu.

    This lineup has somewhat diverted Sean's attention. After all, he played a role in "Charlie's Angels", and the three of them appeared on the stage to award awards, no doubt doing for this movie publicity.

    Drew is really willing to spend his money, and I don't know how much effort it took. Thinking of something, Sean grinned. Looking at the three women above, if it wasn't for Lucy Liu's incompetence with aesthetics, he would really like to see if he could get into bed together, anyway, Drew and Cameron would not refuse.

    Then, he was stunned for a moment when he suddenly thought of something, a thought suddenly popped up, and he looked at Cate Blanchett impatiently.

    "Hey, where are you looking? Do you want to rekindle the old relationship with Gwyneth?" Jude's voice suddenly sounded in his ear, which startled Sean.

    "What are you talking about?" Sean said disguisedly.

    "Isn't it? You keep looking over there, isn't it because Gwyneth is over there?" Jude winked and put on a "Don't hide, I I can see it" with a bashful expression.

    It's really strange to say, when he joined the "Genius Ripley" crew, this guy looked at him coldly, until he accidentally bumped his head. But now the two of them have reached the point where they can talk about everything and can joke around at will. There is nothing more wonderful in the world than this. Just like a year and a half ago, he was a nobody, but a year and a half later, he can participate in the top events in the film industry.

    "If I just look over there and that means it, then I think you should change your career, Jude, entertainment reporter is obviously more suitable for you." Sean laughed teasingly.

    On the back row not far from Kate, Gwyneth, who came in with them before, was sitting upright and applauding the winner. That's fine, as long as Kate doesn't get involved, he can say whatever he wants, and as for Gwyneth, it's enough to have it a few times.

    "Yeah, maybe I should call you, Mr. Perspective?" Sean gave him a deliberate elbow.

    With Jude talking and laughing in a low voice, his mood finally calmed down, and his attention gradually shifted to the stage. I have to admit that the Oscars are worthy of being the most well-known, dazzling and gorgeous awards ceremony in Hollywood. Compared with it, the Golden Globes dinner is similar to the party of nominees.

    Before the awards ceremony, the Academy of Film not only has a rehearsal, but also arranges the nominees to get together for photos and meals to promote the Oscars. Most of these nominees are the best in the film industry in various departments. They are not well-known among the public, but they all have their own connections. The nominees for the performance award are either well-known actors or those who have been floating in the circle for a long time. Characters are not to be underestimated. Even Jude has acted in various dramas and movies for several years. Young people like Sean who are under 20 years old are mixed in, which does seem a bit out of place.

    In short, if the Golden Globes is a party, Oscar is a more advanced and bigger party, and every link is arranged just right. For example, various film terms are introduced between the awards, and the nominated films are introduced one by one, and the big screen next to them will also play some pictures. For example, before Kate and Jude went up to present the best short film, Morgan Freeman first introduced a history of film development, and also played a clip of the documentary "200 Million Years History" about the development of film.

    Similarly, when the Best Animated Short Film Award was presented, the presenters were actually three popular characters from "Toy Story", Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Triss. However, these three toys were not present at the scene, they only appeared on the TV, so the audience also watched the awards on the prepared big screen.

    In addition to various performances, as well as Billy Crystal's gags, the atmosphere at the scene can always be just right.

    "The winner of Best Supporting Actor is - Michael Caine!" Along with the presenter, the voice of last year's Best Supporting Actress winner Judi Dench, "Cider House Rules" The melody rang, and the old actor from the United Kingdom stood up with joy. This is his second Oscar after 1986.

    Although Jude Law beside him applauds, the loss in his eyes is quite obvious, who doesn't want to take a golden statue?

    "Don't be discouraged, Jude, maybe next year you have a chance." Sean comforted him.

    "Why, I look lost?" Jude deliberately pretended to be surprised.

    "Of course, all over my face." Sean pointed to his face.

    "Okay okay," Jude rolled his eyes, "I do regret it, who knows if I can get nominated next year."

    "Come on then," Sean shrugged, "Didn't you see? The British won a lot of Oscars in the past two years, first Judi Dench, now Michael Kay Well, think about Shakespeare in Love, which won the best film last year, and isn't it rumored that Sam Mendes of American Beauty is the most likely to win the best director? So, as long as you work hard With one hand, maybe next year will get what you want.”

    After listening to his words, Jude really touched his chin and thought about it, but he quickly reacted: "Come on, you guy, my chances of being shortlisted and winning next year. , I'm afraid it's lower than your current best actor award."

    "Don't be kidding, do you really think I can win the best prize this year?" Sean said with a smile.

    "Who knows?" Jude rubbed his chin and looked at him, "Like no one would have thought that Anthony would choose you as the leading actor in a movie, no one would have thought that you would be better than everyone else It is expected that no one would have thought that you were only 19 years old, that no one would have thought that you would be nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and no one would have thought that you would be nominated for an Oscar. So, if you are really upset after a while, you will get the most record-breaking award. Good actor, I wouldn't be too surprised."

    "Listening to you, I suddenly feel that I should be very proud." Although Sean was so teasing, he sighed slightly in his heart.
