A series of awards were awarded, and the most exciting moment was undoubtedly the next best actress. However, before that, the first high nest on the Oscar stage tonight came from Airy Kazan, who was awarded the Academy the honorary award by the Academy amid the storm-like applause from the guests.

The Oscar Honor Award has been more accustomed to calling it the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award in recent years. The weight of this award is actually mixed in the circle and is very polarized.

The Oscars are the most popular and most important, with the four major awards, namely the male and female protagonists, directors and best films. However, in some "Little New Years of the Movie", there are practitioners who have not gained their position through superb public relations methods or have only highlighted them once.

But the Lifetime Achievement Award is different from the four major awards. Generally speaking, winners do not need this award to add luster to their career achievements. Instead, it is more like a recognition of the career trajectory of the winners by the Academy and the entire Hollywood film industry.

For example, Ja, the first Chinese Academy Award winner for Lifetime Achievement, won this award in 2016, and his career peak was actually over. There is no doubt that this award is a recognition of his successful filmmaker, but turning around, this award has no impact on his future.

In fact, lifelong achievement awards are generally of two weights. The first thing to bear is of course the awards to legends in the film industry. The second is to those who have made many achievements and contributions, but have always been nominated for Oscars and have never won any major awards.

This is also the main reason why there are always some people in the circle who jokingly call it a consolation prize.

However, it depends on who the winner is and what achievements he has made in the film industry. They may have poor Oscars and may not have much popularity, but they must be highly respected and respected in the industry.

Therefore, there have always been mixed reviews of this award. When the winner’s own results are dazzling, it is more like a kind of "affirmation" and "icing on the cake".

When the winner is mediocre and relying on his or her qualifications to the college, I feel embarrassed to not give him a affirmation, then it will become a jokingly consolation prize among the people in the circle.

But if you want to say that this award is of great value, it makes sense. After all, practitioners who have won this award have always been short of big names in the circle from all eras.

For example, Basque Keaton in his early years, this guy was a pioneer in the silent film era, a great master, and at least in terms of reputation, he would not lose to Chaplin at all. Although he was nicknamed the cold-faced laughter by world fans, he was also one of the directors with the greatest influence since the invention of the movie.

A little closer, such as Alfred Hitchcock, the ancestor of suspense films, is still frequently used today.

It can even be said without hesitation that Hitchcock is no longer limited to one name. He himself represents an era, a kind of film technique and spirit. No matter how many years have passed, when it comes to film art, it is impossible to bypass the name Hitchcock.

If it were a little closer, it would be George Lucas. Even outside North America, some movie fans have never cared about this name, but as long as people who like to watch movies, they will probably have watched "Star Wars" more or less.

What is Star Wars? More often, movie fans will compare Star Wars to an era!

There is another director who makes Dongfang more familiar, that is Akira Kurosawa, who is good friends with the legendary Marquez and his fans are all over the entire movie circle.

"Honey."

Amid the storm-like applause, Cameron Diaz clapped his hands with the people around him, tilted his head, looked at the man beside him, and whispered: "If you never return to "dark art" in the future and only focus on commercial films like DC comics and superheroes, in the end, will the Academy also give you a "honor award" Little Golden Man?"

"Who knows." Shaking his head slightly, Wayne sat back on the chair, staring at the main stage for a while.

Judging from his performance in the film industry, even if he retires now, he may be enough to be on the shortlist for the Lifetime Achievement Award. However, in his heart, he actually has no desire for this award at all.

"The boss doesn't need this honor. As long as he wants, he is fully capable of choosing the better one!"

Nina chuckled softly. She had been in Hollywood for so many years, so of course she knew the value of each award.

"Yes, he is perfectly capable of getting better..."

Cameron Diaz whispered in a low voice to the assistant lady, looked at her eyes on the stage, and slowly narrowed her eyes.

The last Oscar-winning actress Helen Hunter has already come to the stage. It is obvious that the most eye-catching "movie queen" is next. Although she is talking and slowly introducing the achievements made by several candidates this year, the cameras on the scene have been aimed at several "potential actress queens".

Meryl Streep in the crew of "Friendly Priceless", Emily Watson in the crew of "She's Lonely More Fireworks", Fairlanda Montenegro, the heroine of "Central Station", and Cate Blanchett, who is still a strange face.

Several actresses must be joking in their hearts, but when they faced the camera, they all had generous smiles on their faces.

"Boss, it's Kate?" At this time, Nina turned around and whispered to her boss.

Wayne nodded. "The chance is very great."

In essence, the Academy-led Oscars are still divided into cakes. The only difference is who can get the largest cake.

According to the awards that have been awarded before, this performance award with a very high value is likely to be given to "Shapespeople's Love History" or "Family Love is Priceless". But there is a premise here. Meryl Streep is a frequent visitor to this award. According to the past style of the academy, it is basically impossible for the same face to appear continuously on this stage.

Since the current Oscars, the flavor of the cake has become very strong, but the potential winner of the biggest piece of cake is "Shapes' Love History". After all, just from the perspective of public relations lobbying, this film has already taken the lead in other works.

That's right, "Save Private Ryan" only won a few technical awards in the first place. Even Wayne has guessed it now. The Academy will definitely give this World War II epic a compensation for these three heavyweight awards, otherwise it would be a cake split.

But whether it is from reputation or status in the circle, Tom Hanks is completely unable to compare with Steven Spielberg around him. Therefore, Wayne speculates that even if there are some changes in this Oscar because of himself, the final best director is likely to compensate the surprise to the crew of "Save Private Ryan".

No matter which aspect of analysis, Cate Blanchett, a young actor who seems to have the least qualifications and is the least likely to win the award, is the most suitable winner of this cake.

"To be honest, each of them performed very well in the movie. If I could make a decision, I would definitely give each of them a little golden man... The one who won the 71st Academy Award for Best Actress is... "Shapes Love History" Cate Blanchett, congratulations..."

Without the usual intentional confusion, Helen Hunter just made a simple joke, took a look at the winners in the envelope, and directly announced the list of winners.

For a moment, the entire Chandler Hall fell into silence, but what came immediately was the tsunami of applause. Even several actresses, including Meryl Streep, were stunned for a moment, and then stood up and slapped their hands with elegant smiles.

The moment Cate Blanchett heard her name, she seemed to be dreaming, her face full of incredible surprise. She was pushed by the actors in the same crew, and it seemed that she truly realized that she was the Oscar winner.

Amid the applause of the entire hall, she hugged the staff of the crew of "Shapes' Love History". Although she was extremely excited, she still maintained her most basic elegant image.

Unexpectedly, she did not hug the staff around her like the previous winners, and could not wait to step onto the highly anticipated stage. Cate Blanchett lifted the hem of her dress and squeezed towards the "Flash" crew without any hesitation.

"Thank you, thank you for everything you did for me, my dear..."

In front of thousands of guests on the scene and in front of ABC's live broadcast to the world, Cate Blanchett hugged Wayne directly and kept saying thank you in his ear.

"Okay, Kate, go, everyone is waiting for you." When facing the camera, Wayne's face was only a sunny and tough smile. He gently patted the woman's back and said, "Go, go and enjoy your moment of glory, Kate."

“thank you.”

Before leaving, Cate Blanchett kissed Wayne's face before he held his head high and nodded with the guests who wished him along the way, and quickly headed towards the main stage.

Jennifer Connery, not far away, stared at Cate Blanchett, the new Hollywood newcomer from Australia, why can he become the new Oscar winner? There is no doubt that it is because of the man around him.

For a moment, all the scenery in her eyes was like a lake. Even herself couldn't figure out what she was thinking now. Do you regret it? No! She glanced at her boyfriend David next to her and said that her choice was right. Although her boyfriend was just a cameraman, the other party loved him wholeheartedly.

"What do I need to give to get it all like her?"

Cameron Diaz looked at Cate Blanchett's back and felt an unspeakable jealousy in her heart. Her character had always been daring to think and say, so she turned her head directly and looked at the man's eyes and asked. "Dear, what else do I have to do to get such an opportunity."

"No, Kami, you misunderstood."

Wayne shook his head gently. He knew that there was a camera facing him now. His lips opened and closed slightly and he whispered: "Walking on that stage and becoming one of the big winners, actually luck accounts for 90%. This year is so good and such an appropriate opportunity, no one knows if there is any future."

That's right, there may be a chance to take advantage of this year. Moreover, everyone only saw Cate Blanchett, who is now full of energy, but chose to ignore the big fat man clapping in the audience.

To be honest, it is not difficult to find a project that can be on the Oscar stage. The difficult thing is how to find a PR master like this fat man.

Without even the award ceremony, Wayne is sure that the critics and film critics who are watching this Oscar must have pressed the title of the best actress on Cate Blanchett in some live shows.

Although the words are not nice, Cate Blanchett has received tangible honors. On the other hand, the more this happens, the more the fat man’s public relations methods can be reflected, right?

"I feel guilty about other nominees. If I don't know how to love, I can't play this role well, and I have to thank my family for this."

Taking over the little golden man in Helen Hunter's hand, Cate Blanchett stood in front of the microphone and cried with joy, but she did not thank a large list of people one by one like other winners. Instead, she briefly mentioned her parents, her eyes firmly locked in Wayne's direction in the audience.

"Here, Wayne, I want to thank you for everything you have done for me. Thank you for helping me kill all the competitors, thank you. I want to tell you that you are not only a great film director, but also a great filmmaker. You are the greatest film master in my heart, thank you."

After saying that, regardless of the comments that appeared on the scene, she turned around and walked towards the backstage. There, hundreds of reporters from media outlets were waiting to interview her, waiting to interview the newly released Oscar actress.

"m***er f**k, this stupid woman!"

When he heard the sentence "Thank you for helping me kill all the competitors", even though he knew that he had attracted most of the attention of the scene, Wayne could not help but swear.

If he remembers correctly, it seems that there was an Oscar winner who once thanked Harvey Weinstein when he was thanking the award. But as long as he thought about the ending of this fat man, Wayne felt a little uncomfortable and it was so frustrating.

"Kill all the competitors, ha?"

There were waves of cheering whistles coming from around him. Cameron Diaz rolled his eyes and whispered to the man beside him. "Hani, I suggest canceling the next Vanity Fair cocktail party. If I were you, I would definitely pull out my belt and whip her ass hard."

“shut the f**k up!”

Wayne's eyes narrowed and looked at Cameron Diaz with a bad look. "Ahh? It seems you're looking forward to the belt?"

“no,no,no.”

Cameron Diaz's head was shaking like a rattle. She knew very well that once she really aroused the beast in the other party's heart, the person she was beaten might become her.

"Now, I'm afraid most of the outside world's attention will be shifted from the most beautiful queen to the boss." Nina curled her lips and looked at the backstage with a hint of admiration. There was no doubt that Kate Blachet was not stupid at all. She was simply playing with the matter of selling good deeds when she got the cheap.

The award ceremony on the stage continued. In the Chandler Hall, from celebrities to audiences, everyone looked at Wayne's direction from time to time, as if the Best Director Award was being awarded, which was not as interesting as Wayne at this time.

"Congratulations to Save Soldier Ryan, and Congratulations to Director Spielberg!"

When the best director settled, belonging to the crew of "Save Private Ryan", a strong cheer burst out instantly. Everyone had surprise and proud eyes on their faces, embracing Steven Spielberg. Yes, they had been silent for too long for the whole night today.

And there is also a very important point that everyone thought of. The Best Director gave Steven Spielberg, which means that the Best Film is infinitely close to them.
