Chapter 479: reelected
The Oscar ceremony is very long.
In addition to the awards, there will be performances, tributes to the arts, and a "memorial" segment to commemorate industry insiders who have passed away in the past year. In this session, Kevin Spacey appeared and asked the audience to stand up and observe a moment of silence for the victims of the "911 terrorist attack".
This year's Oscars once again embody the art of balance.
The major awards were divided among four popular films, "Moulin Rouge", "Unsinkable", "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
After Pixar's "Monsters, Inc." won Best Original Song and featured a related song by the singer.
The more interesting awards are going to be awarded - the Best Screenplay Award!
The Oscar's Best Screenplay Award is divided into two, one is the Best Original Screenplay Award and the other is the Best Adapted Screenwriting Award. The two awards are awarded by the same group of presenters at the same time.
Interestingly, Dunn was nominated for Best Original Screenplay for "Juno" and for Best Adapted Screenplay for "A Beautiful Mind."
Last year, Dunn won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award for "The Girl Who Moved the Soul", which was the first Oscar he personally won.
The situation this year...he's still a big hit!
The presenters were Ethan Hawke and Gwyneth Paltrow. The best original screenwriter award was announced first. The camera of abc first aimed at the "Juno" crew, gave Dunn a close-up, and then before turning to other nominees.
"Juno" is definitely the most popular film of the awards season, not only because of the heated public opinion caused by Dunn's bombardment of the Golden Globes, but also in the box office market, "Juno" is also powerful enough!
So far, the North American box office of "Juno" has exceeded the 100 million mark, reaching 130 million US dollars! Although the overseas market received a muted response, it also recorded US$50 million.
This feminist film with an investment of 8 million US dollars has already exceeded 180 million US dollars at the global box office within 3 months of its release!
Even higher than the box office of the newly launched "Resident Evil" and "Chainsaw 2" this year.
Rose Pictures also became an instant hit because of this movie!
Next, the entire critics are looking forward to films such as "The Moment", "Chicago" and "Gone Lover" produced by Rose Pictures.
Feminists are madly promoting Rose Pictures.
Such a hit film "Juno" should be able to win an award, right?
From ABC's broadcast footage, it can be seen that the broadcaster believes that the Best Original Screenplay Award is the only chance for "Juno".
Because "Juno" has only two nominations in total, Best Actress and Best Original Screenplay.
It's impossible to win best actress, right?
Natalie Portman's performance is excellent, but she is too young.
And as we all know, Dunn and the Golden Globes have a lot of trouble, and the key point is Natalie.
Oscar couldn't possibly add fuel to the fire at this time.
If the Oscars awarded Natalie the best actress, wouldn't that be the face of the Golden Globes?
If this is the case, the Oscar Organizing Committee and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association will be completely turned over.
Sure enough, I heard Ethan Horn read out the list of winners for the Best Original Screenplay Award: "Julian Fellowes, 'Gosford Park'."
And the Best Adapted Screenplay Award... was read from the mouth of Gwyneth Paltrow, the actress that Dunn hated, "Dawn Walker, "A Beautiful Mind."
The same is to receive the screenwriter award. Through the enthusiasm of the applause, you can distinguish the recognition of the guests.
The applause for Julian Fellowes was great!
But when the name of "Dawn Walker" was pronounced, the applause could no longer be described as enthusiastic, like the thunder before the storm!
The audience stood up and applauded!
The real deal!
Tang En knew that the ABC broadcast screen at the moment must have locked him firmly. He stood up leisurely, smiled slightly, first kissed Natalie face to face, and then met the crew of "Beautiful Mind" one by one. High-five, and walked slowly to the podium.
I can't see the slightest excitement, and my face is calm, as if everything is as it should be.
This is in stark contrast to the way Julian Fellowes cheered and wanted to jump up when he came to the stage just now.
...
Lorenzo Soria, chairman of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, got the news of Dunn's award through TV, and called Kirk Douglas almost immediately.
"It's just a screenwriting award, what are you anxious about?" Kirk Douglas certainly didn't want to see Dunn win the award.
"This is Oscar!" Lorenzo Soria was very annoyed, "Didn't you say you have a great influence on Oscar? Why can't even Dunn Walker be suppressed?"
Kirk Douglas said angrily: "What are you talking about? A stinky little boy, I can't hold back? I said, this is just a screenwriter award, it doesn't matter!"
Lorenzo Soria sneered on the phone, "It doesn't matter? Haha, are you confused, or are you pretending to be stupid? That kid won the award, he won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award! In the history of the Oscars, there has never been a He is the first person to have had such an experience!"
Kirk Douglas's blue veins burst out, "What are you trying to say? I never promised you to suppress Dunn in Oscar! Don't forget, our target is Natalie Portman, yes That little girl! Don't mess around!"
"Am I messing around? The Golden Globes have been criticized by the media, and the reason for all this is you!"
Lorenzo Soria has a heartbroken heart. He cooperated with Kirk Douglas on Natalie's nomination in the dark, which was the most regrettable thing in his life.
Kirk Douglas took a deep breath, holding back his anger and irritability, "I repeat, the Golden Globes matter, the key point is that little girl, not Dunn Walker. As long as Natalie doesn't get an Oscar. After that, the Golden Globes have 10,000 rhetoric. You don’t need to get angry about something as small as a screenwriter award.”
Lorenzo Soria said coldly: "From now on, don't even think about reaching out to the Golden Globe Award again!"
After speaking, he rudely hung up the phone.
Kirk Douglas slammed the phone hard, listening to the blind tone of "dudu".
"This bastard!"
He was furious!
On the one hand, his anger came from the quarrel on the phone just now, and on the other hand, from the beaten-up Dunn Walker on the TV screen.
In Kirk Douglas's eyes, Dunn's light-hearted and understated smile is provocation!
He was very annoyed, very angry!
But after this anger, a bit of shock and fear also arose in his heart.
On the phone, Kirk Douglas told Lorenzo Soria that they were targeting Natalie Portman, just to prevent her from winning an Oscar.
But in fact, Kirk Douglas's opponent is Dunn Walker, and he has contacted the old guys in the academy privately, telling them that he doesn't want to see Dunn winning.
But the result?
Slapped in the face!
Dunn not only won the award, but also a record-breaking award. He is the first consecutive winner of the Best Adapted Screenplay Award in Oscar history!
"Has his network expanded to such a degree? He's only 24 years old..."
Kirk Douglas murmured while watching Dunn holding up the golden statue high in the TV screen.
He knew that some time ago, Dunn disclosed his exclusive secret recipe to Hollywood—the strategy of explosion models. He also donated a teaching building with top-level equipment like USC, which established a good reputation and prestige.
But he didn't care.
Unexpectedly, this kid actually did it!
On the TV, Dunn began to give his acceptance speech. Kirk Douglas's hearing has deteriorated, and he was not in the mood to listen to Dunn's nonsense, but a key word made him suddenly energized.
"Here, I would like to thank one person in particular, Mr. Douglas, yes, Mr. Kirk Douglas. He is a senior filmmaker I particularly respect, and he also provided me with a lot of valuable experience in the production of "A Beautiful Mind" , Mr. Douglas made a great contribution to my ability to win this award. Unfortunately, he did not come to the scene, but I would like to use the platform of Oscar to say solemnly, thank you, Mr. Douglas, without you, I could be today I won't win the award~www.wuxiaspot.com~Thank you!"
ABC's broadcast shots were cleverly locked on Dunn's face, without cutting the shots randomly, to give close-ups to the guests under the stage.
Because at this time, almost every guest present was in a state of jaw-dropping astonishment.
The outside world may not know it, but the people in the circle are clear!
Dunn and Kirk Douglas, the contradiction intensifies, irreconcilable!
Even the confrontation between Dunn and the Golden Globes is largely because of Kirk Douglas!
Now, when Dunn received the Oscar, he made a public statement, "Thanks" to Kirk Douglas, what does this mean?
Provocative?
Two months ago, when Dunn was receiving the Golden Globe Award, he publicly bombarded the Golden Globe Award Organizing Committee on the podium, causing a public uproar;
Two months later, when he was receiving the Oscar again, he openly challenged Kirk Douglas on the podium. This is God!
grateful?
Well, Dunn's acceptance speech, in the eyes of outsiders, is indeed a sincere thanks.
But who in the circle doesn't understand?
Dunn is taking the opportunity of winning the award to provoke, slap in the face and aggressively challenge Kirk Douglas!
Leave no sympathy!
In the eyes of people in Hollywood circles, this acceptance speech is almost the same model as the bombardment of the Golden Globes two months ago, exactly the same!
Kirk Douglas was dumbfounded in front of the TV.
His eyes widened and he stared at the TV tightly, as if a ghost had lost his soul.
After Dunn waved the golden man high again and walked off the podium in high spirits, Kirk Douglas coughed a few times, and spit on the floor angrily and rudely.
Bloody phlegm.
"This bastard!"
Kirk Douglas roared in anger.
