Chapter 272 Oscar Night

Of course, Link knew that he would not win this award, but the Oscars is one of the top three award-winning programs in the entertainment industry, with ratings of more than 13 million in recent years.

After receiving the nomination, the singer and the song will be broadcast live on ABC TV, which will gain a certain amount of exposure in the media. He will become familiar with the singer in front of the audience, which will also make fans more excited and admired.

This is a good publicity platform. Many people can’t get in even if they spend money. Link doesn’t want to miss it.

Arriving at the award ceremony hall, Link and Christine separated and came to the seating area of ​​the "Fighter" crew. Because there were more nominations, the "Fighter" crew was positioned higher, only after "Avatar" and "The Hurt Locker" .

After Link sat down, he said hello to Director Russell, Christian Bale, Ms. Melissa Leo and others. Amy Adams also received a supporting actress nomination, but could not be present because she had just given birth to a child.

The Oscar ceremony is currently in the middle, and "The Fighter" has only won one award for the time being, the Best Supporting Actor Award. The winner is Christian Bale, and Link also congratulated him.

Shortly after he sat down, the smiling girl Miley Cyrus and the blonde Amanda Severis took to the podium to present the award for Best Original Song.

The films nominated for this award include "The Weary Kind", the theme song of "Crazy Heart". Two songs from the movie "The Princess and the Frog" were nominated, "Almost there" and "Down in the Orleans", and the theme song of "The Fighter" "Fighter", the theme song of the movie "Nine" "take it all".

When the nominated songs are announced, film clips and songs will be played on the big screen for thirty seconds for each nomination.

"The Fighter" plays a clip of Mickey, played by Link, competing in a boxing ring. From the beginning, he was knocked down time and time again and was beaten very badly. In the last game, under the guidance of his brother Dick, he turned defeat into victory and finally won. Get the WBF gold belt.

The film clips, paired with Link's passionate, gritty vocals, look very moving.

When she was about to read out the name of the winner, Amanda Severis suddenly glanced at Link's position. Link's heart skipped a beat. It couldn't be "The Fighter", right?

Indeed not, the winner was "Crazy Heart".

This movie tells the story of an old, down-and-out country music singer who was saved by love and returned to a normal life when his life was going downhill.

Starring Jeff Bridges, Colin Farrell and others.

It was released in December last year. The quality of the movie is also very high, and the theme song is also great. Especially when the actor Jeff Bridges was struggling in bed and composing "The Weary Kind", the plot was very moving.

In terms of storyline and song appeal, it is indeed much better than "Fighter".

"Link, don't be discouraged, you are still young."

Christian Bale said.

"Understood, what I want is a statuette in the acting category."

Link said looking at the statuette in Bell's hand.

"Are you serious?"

Bell shook the statuette and said, "For this award, I began to hone my acting skills fifteen years ago. I have lost more than a hundred pounds and shed several layers of skin. The other winners are similar. You You are young and handsome, you are a world boxing champion, you have two Grammy Awards, you are a billionaire, I don’t think the Academy will give you a statuette in the acting category unless you are in your 50s or 60s.”

"It does sound tough."

Link laughed.

The Oscar for Best Actor and the Grammy for Best Male Vocalist of the Year are both relatively difficult awards to win.

In comparison, the Oscar winner is more difficult. To win this award, you must not only look at acting skills, but also the actor's own efforts and sacrifices. At the same time, this award is open to male actors from all over the world. As long as the movie is released in North America, You can participate in the selection regardless of language and subject matter.

More competitive than the Grammys.

This also makes this trophy very valuable. If you get this trophy, your salary will at least double, and it will also be recorded in film history, and you will become famous.

With Link's current situation, it is indeed difficult to get one, but it is not impossible. As long as he acts in more good movies, has more connections in the film industry, and uses public relations methods, he may have the opportunity to get one in advance.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the 82nd Academy Awards ceremony ended.

"The Fighter" won two out of eight nominations, winning the Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress awards. The results were neither good nor bad.

The biggest winner at this year's Academy Awards is "The Hurt Locker", which won six out of nine nominations, winning Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Original Screenplay, Best Editing, Best Sound Editing, and Best Sound Effects. .

"The Hurt Locker" director Kathryn Bigelow also became the first female director in Oscar history to win this award. She is also the ex-wife of director James Cameron.

The popular "Avatar" only won three awards: Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, and Best Visual Effects.

However, the global box office of this movie has now exceeded 2 billion US dollars, making it the highest-grossing movie in history.

James Cameron also made a lot of money from this movie.

Jeff Bridges, the actor of "Crazy Heart" who won the Best Actor, is 61 years old and made his debut in 1971. This is the fifth time he has been nominated and the first time he has won this award.

The winner of the Best Actress Award was Sandra Bullock, the heroine of "The Weakness". Compared with the other four actors, she did not have an advantage in terms of acting skills and resume.

It’s just that the subject matter of the movie is quite cute. It’s about a white middle-class family adopting a black boy and helping the black man grow up.

To the taste of the Academy.

"Link, you don't have to be disappointed. You will still get Oscar nominations and lose in the future. After a dozen times, you will slowly get used to it."

At the Oscar night party, Kristen walked up to him with a plate of "Avatar"-themed desserts and 'comforted' him.

She was wearing a strapless black dress, with a slender figure and a cool temperament. She was also one of the focal points of the party. When she walked up to Link, several male actors around her looked at her with gossip.

Link glanced at her plate, "Aren't you worried about getting fat if you eat so many sweets at night?"

"Don't worry, I don't gain weight easily. I won't gain weight no matter how much I eat."

Christine raised her slender white arms and waved them in front of his eyes.

"What a pity! You can't be like Ms. Theron and gain an Oscar by gaining weight."

Link said as he glanced at the blonde woman in the middle of the party.

"I don't care. If I have to gain weight and become ugly to get the award, I would rather not."

Kristen forked a 'Little Blue Man' fruit dessert and bit off the head in one bite. She immediately narrowed her eyes happily and made a 'hmm' sound from her nose, looking like she was enjoying it.

When Link saw her expression, he couldn't help but wave his fork, divide two by three, and stuff all three remaining little blue men on her plate into his mouth.

The taste is sour, sweet and refreshing, with the taste of aloe vera, blueberry and macadamia nuts. It tastes really great and is worthy of being the work of a Michelin chef.

Kristine opened her eyes and saw the empty plate and Link with a satisfied expression. She immediately pursed her thin pink lips, her snoring became heavier, and her originally cold face became even colder.

"Link Baker, I need an explanation!"

"Remember! Never close your eyes in front of a boy who likes sweets. This time he ate the sweets on your plate, and next time it will probably be you."

Link said with a shrug.

Kristen pointed at him with the fork and said, 'Damn it,' and with a cold face, she returned to the "Avatar" themed area to salvage fruits from the planet "Pandora".

Link smiled softly, returned to the middle of the party, and congratulated several award-winning directors, actors, and screenwriters. He was not only an actor, but also the boss of a company. The more people he met, the more opportunities he had to make money.

In the middle, Ryan Reynolds came to him and said there were some people who wanted to meet him and asked him if he was interested.

Then he met several actors born in the 1970s and 1980s, including Colin Farrell, Zac Efron, Jake Gyllenhaal, etc.

These people are more curious about how powerful his fists are, asking him whether he can defeat the Klitschko brothers and the monster Valuev, and asking him who is more powerful in a head-to-head competition between professional boxers, WWE wrestlers, and Marines.

Amanda Severis also came over to chat with him, saying that when the awards were presented, she almost mistook the winner and pronounced his name, and finally took the initiative to exchange contact information with him.

At about 8:30 pm, when it was time to rest, Link said goodbye early and left the Oscar party.
