Hollywood Hunter

Along with the waves caused by the best soundtrack award, the 61st Oscar Awards ceremony also unknowingly entered the final stage.

When Annie Archer introduced the last best film nominated for the Oscars, "Working Girl", Kurt Russell and Gotti Han took the stage together and began to award the best actor award.

Before and after the stage, on and off the court, the people who had just experienced a wonderful ‘showdown’ once again held their breath.

On the stage, the Russells took turns saying: "The best actor nomination for this year’s Oscars includes Gene Harcoman, "Mississippi is Burning"; Tom Hanks, "Flying The Future, Dustin Hoffman, "Rain Man"; Edward James Omos, "Being a Teacher"; Robert De Niro, "Death Poetry Society."

During the introduction, the live camera shots were directed at the five nominated candidates in the audience.

Kurt Russell opened the envelope and whipped everyone's appetite with Gotty Han. The couple finally announced at the same time: "The winner of the best actor is Dustin Hoffman," Rain Man, congratulations, this is the second time Dustin has won an Oscar."

Rushing.

There was applause from the audience. When Dustin Hoffman stepped onto the stage, some people stood up and the applause became more enthusiastic. Driven by those people, the rest of the people in the hall also got up, and the applause lasted for more than a minute before finally falling.

Dustin Hoffman hugged the Russell couple separately, took the Golden Man from Kurt Russell, came to the microphone, looked at the people who got up from the stage, and said, "Thank you, thank you everyone. "So, when the applause stopped, everyone was seated again, Hoffman shook the golden figure in the handshake, and continued: "Seriously, it's not easy to get this award."

Everyone in the award hall heard Dustin Hoffman say this, not knowing if he did it on purpose, but many people laughed ‘knowingly’.

"First of all, I would like to thank Mr. Michael Ovitz, the president of CAA. Without him, there would be no "Rain Man". This script has been prepared three years ago, and it was almost unsustainable many times during the period. Every time we thought of this project When it is about to be completely stranded, Michael will always express his firmest support, and finally everyone will be able to see this movie on the big screen. Secondly, I want to thank Barry, who took over the "Rain Man" script after many directors have withdrawn. , He created this film, and Tom, he is a great partner..."

Compared with the brief speech time for the technology awards, Dustin Hoffman talked about for more than three minutes, telling the entire'behind the scenes' of "Rain Man", from Michael Ovitz to Barry. Levinson’s queen editor mentioned them all. In summary, how difficult the film’s main creation was, how bumpy the project was, and how many people he mentioned contributed to "Rain Man".

Although Dustin Hoffman looked at the sky from time to time, as if he was absent from the state, but during the whole speech, he bypassed all the information related to Daenerys Entertainment very accurately.

CAA has won a large number of top Hollywood stars in recent years. Most of these stars themselves are judges for Oscar actor awards. Coupled with their intertwined network of relationships, CAA's potential influence in actor awards is stronger than that of the old WMA. Many, let alone Daenerys Entertainment, which has only been established for less than three years.

Therefore, Daenerys Entertainment has long anticipated the immediate results.

However, listening to Dustin Hoffman's speech on stage, the faces of Amy and others were still a bit ugly.

Everyone in the circle knows that if Simon hadn't given the green light for "Rain Man", this project might have been in a state of nowhere until now. Now, all the credit in Hoffman's words seems to fall on others.

When Dustin Hoffman finally finished his speech and came backstage, everyone from the CAA department immediately surrounded him, but Daenerys Entertainment was just sitting on the sidelines, and the two sides were too lazy to be polite to each other.

In the end, there were only three awards for Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture, and Ella Deutschman asked Amy whether he should leave early. The Best Actress Award has nothing to do with Daenerys Entertainment. As for the other two, after the Best Actor Award, Deutschman, whose confidence has been hit, does not think there will be any special changes.

Amy just shook her head, holding her arms and looking at the live TV screen in the background, quietly waiting for the final result.

The farce of the best actress "Three Yellow Eggs" at the Golden Globe Awards two months ago will naturally not happen at the Oscars. Just like the original time and space, Judy Foster won his first place with "Blood Rage" Regarding the Oscar statuette, this Hollywood actress born as a child star finally achieved a positive result with difficulty after experiencing the big change that year.

Jonathan Friedman, the vice president of WMA, who was always waiting in the background for the results of the award, looked at Judy Foster, who gave his acceptance speech on the stage, with the same low mood.

Judy Foster was also a client of WMA earlier.

The decline of WMA in recent years has not been reversed because he discovered Simon Westero, a talented Hollywood teenager, and WMA's customers are still losing.

Judy Foster was also dug out when another WMA vice president, Ed Limato, led stars such as Mel Gibson, Denzel Washington, Michelle Pfeiffer to change jobs early last year. ICM. Then, in just one year, Judy Foster changed the tepid career state of previous years with the help of "Big Robbery Pear Flower", and won the Oscar queen at the age of 25.

While thinking about it, Jonathan Friedman could not help but clenched his fist secretly.

Fortunately, this situation will not continue soon.

Norman Broca, the president of WMA, will leave soon.

Over the years, many of the ace clients of WMA’s brokers have been losing. Only Jonathan not only held onto Brian de Palma, Robert Duval, Billy Christo and other big-name clients, he successfully signed Robert De Niro has also cultivated first-line new stars such as Sandra Bullock and Matt Dillon. Simon's rise in Hollywood is even more dazzling.

Therefore, Jonathan is almost the candidate for the next president of WMA, and he also takes it for granted.

This time, if the old men in the upper echelons continue to play power and hand over the position that belongs to him to others, Jonathan feels that this talent agency company that has lasted for more than half a century will completely decline, and he will choose without hesitation. go away.

In the live footage, Dennis Quaid and Michelle Pfeiffer stepped onto the stage, and Friedman regained his thoughts.

Even though they hadn't had too many expectations, Amy and others still stared at the TV screen intently.

This is the penultimate award tonight, Best Director.

"A good director is like a good captain. He is the core and soul of the crew. Without the captain's guidance, it is difficult for any ship to sail to the right distance."

"I am honored to introduce to you the five'Captains' tonight. Of course, no matter which one of them wins, they will not lose the brilliance of others."

"The nominees for this year's Academy Award for Best Director are:"

"Mike Nicholson, "Working Girl";"

"Charles Crichton, "A Fish Named Wanda;"

"Barry Levinson, "The Rain Man";"

"Alan Parker, "Mississippi is Burning";"

"Peter Will, "Death Poetry Society."

After introducing the five nominees in turn, Michelle Pfeiffer, who wore a big red V-neck evening gown tonight, looked down the stage with his eyes waved, but his movements did not stop, slowly but skillfully'blind demolition' 'I took out the envelope and drew out the card with the list of winners, then bowed my head.

Seeing the results of the awards, a flash of surprise suddenly flashed across the face of the coquettish girl who had just been discharging, but she soon showed the envelope to Dennis Quaid next to her with a smile.

Dennis Quaid made his debut in the 1970s, and his career slowly began to improve in his middle age.

Having been in Hollywood for many years, it is natural to understand all kinds of gossip in the circle.

Glancing at the award result handed over by Michelle Pfeiffer, Dennis Quaid did not show a surprised expression. Instead, he took the envelope and took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. It threw everyone's appetites, and finally announced to the microphone that many people had speculated but were not willing to believe the results of the award.

"The best director of this year's Oscar is Peter Weir, "Death Poetry Society."

In the hall, after a noticeable brief silence, applause rang.

Backstage at the ceremony, although Deichman was not as gaffe as he was when he presented the best soundtrack this time, he still raised his hand and clenched his fist and touched Amy and the others in a tacit understanding.

In the hall, Peter Will, overjoyed, walked quickly to the stage.

Although the shots of the five candidates were cut out, the live camera shots once again swept towards "Rain Man" director Barry Levinson, and successfully captured Levinson's obvious unwillingness and even anger.

This is Barry Levinson's first best director nomination, and obviously the most promising one.

At the beginning, no one was optimistic about "Rain Man", but the film unexpectedly counterattacked, and the counterattack was caught off guard, which is enough to prove the strong uncertainty of film production.

Having missed this most promising opportunity to win, it is hard to say whether Barry Levinson will get another Oscar.

You know, whether it is the media or the audience, when evaluating a filmmaker's work, it often compares its previous works. Obviously, "Rain Man" is already the pinnacle of Barry Levinson, and he is destined to find it difficult to make a better film than "Rain Man" in the future.

Unable to come up with a work that surpasses "Rain Man", under the comparison of mentality and public opinion, even if he can be nominated again, the possibility of winning the award is very slim.

Calm down and listen to Peter Will’s excitement on the stage. Whether it is in the hall, the backstage of the ceremony or the media reporters waiting outside waiting for the results, after some sorting out, they gradually realized that Peter Will’s The reason for the award is actually traceable.

Peter Weir has already won an Oscar nomination for best director for his "The Witness" in 1985, which already has an advantage over Barry Levinson. Therefore, although the results of the awards are somewhat beyond everyone's expectations, they are not unexpected.

"Rain Man" is a phenomenal film, which is true, but "Death Poetry Society" is also a very outstanding film. Moreover, Daenerys Entertainment has spared no effort in the public relations offensive launched by this awards season.

"Rain Man" is not too brilliant in terms of lens, editing and other technical aspects, so it is only natural to miss the previous technical awards. However, under the attack of a veteran top scorer, Simon Westero’s award for best soundtrack has actually proved Daenerys Entertainment’s public relations effectiveness.

As for the “lost” of the best actor, Daenerys Entertainment has no other strong public relations targets in this regard.

Robert De Niro, who was nominated for best actor by virtue of "Dead Poetry Society", has won two Oscars for best actor awards before that, which is already a limit for Hollywood actors. Unless De Niro can come up with another super phenomenon-level movie that even surpasses "Rain Man", otherwise, under normal circumstances, he wants to win his third Oscar, and he will have to wait at least ten or twenty years later. .

On the other hand, there is no doubt that Dustin Hoffman’s performance in "Rain Man" is as impeccable as the film itself.

Therefore, although Daenerys Entertainment’s public relations target on De Niro dilutes Hoffman’s vote, in the case where the other three candidates besides Hoffman and De Niro are not strong enough, Denis It is impossible for Luo to win the prize, and the final award is taken for granted.

In this way, Dustin Hoffman's award cannot be regarded as a failure of Daenerys Entertainment.

Now, Peter Weir of "Death Poetry Club" has won the best director award. After a lot of people have carefully tasted it, they suddenly discovered that this year’s Oscar, Daenerys Entertainment and CAA’s secret battle is still Daenery. Silk Entertainment is even better.

Dustin Hoffman just won an award that he can easily win.

What Peter Weir got now is the result of a fierce battle between Daenerys Entertainment and CAA. You know, CAA, which has been operating in Hollywood for more than ten years, is strong in actors, and its contacts in the field of directors should not be underestimated.

In comparison, Daenerys Entertainment, who has a shallow background, has a very obvious disadvantage.

Under such adversity, you can still get the award, plus Simon Westero himself as the best scorer, this is enough to prove the great success of Daenerys Entertainment's public relations strategy this year.

The news that Peter Weir won the best director for "Death Poetry Society" spread quickly. In the Hall of Sacred Citizens, the award ceremony continued, but at the same time it was coming to an end.

The best film was awarded by Cher, the winner of the previous best actress.

This point can once again see the difference in the details of this year’s Oscars. In addition to the absence of a host, the award-giving guests did not award the best female host to the best male lead and the best female lead to the best male lead A traditional model.

There was no suspense in the final awards. "Rain Man" successfully won the 61st Oscar for Best Picture.

Daenerys Entertainment has declared two producers, one is Barry Levinson’s Queen Producer Mark Johnson, and the other is Daenerys Entertainment’s own spokesperson. Through this arrangement, Daenerys Entertainment will obtain a statue of the golden figure, displayed in the company headquarters as a permanent glory.

After the best picture, the 61st Oscars ceremony ended smoothly.

However, the aftermath of all this has just begun.
