The opening two awards, "L.A. Confidential" and "Mind Catcher" each have one place, which also seems to indicate that the competition tonight will be particularly fierce. However, the trend of the next technical awards overturned this prediction, and the "Titanic" swept through with a devastating force.

In fact, this should not be a surprise. Although "L.A. Confidential", "Mind Catcher" and "Perfect" are highly praised, these three works are all representatives of retro script works, and they have advantages in the technical department. It is very weak at first, but it is even less worth mentioning when compared with competitors.

"Titanic" can lead the nomination stage strongly, the sweeping of the technical department is the decisive factor, even if it won the best actor, best actress, best supporting actress three nominations, but in these three There is no advantage in the department. The crazy wave of this work in North America is due to the qualitative leap of the Hollywood industry led by visual effects. Therefore, the technical department is the area where the "Titanic" can do its best.

The results of the award ceremony also proved this point.

The best photography, best art direction, best costume design, best sound, best sound editing, best visual effects and other technical awards have achieved a large number of technical awards. The only fish that missed the net is the best makeup award. The award was won by the "Men in Black" who pulled his teeth out of his mouth-the alien makeup effect in the movie was highly acclaimed.

In addition, the best original song award was also won by "Titanic"; in the best soundtrack department, the drama category was won by "Titanic", and the musical comedy category was won by "Six Heroes of the Pigs". Picked.

"Titanic"'s great victory in the technical awards also revealed a key message: no matter who the best film goes to, it is certain that the academy has truly affirmed the contribution of computer special effects to the film industry. After "Independence Day", the "Titanic" has made brilliant achievements and has become an indispensable member of Hollywood. Computer special effects in the future of film development are bound to become an important piece of puzzle.

Now, the biggest suspense is: how important does the college think this puzzle piece? Is it important enough to use the best film to announce a new era in the film industry? Is it important enough for the "Titanic" to change its dynasty with a single-handed sweep?

Realizing that the footsteps of history are approaching, this has also made the audience more excited. At this moment, more than 50 million viewers in the United States have begun to watch the Oscars. This is not only the first time that the live broadcast of the Oscars awards ceremony has exceeded 50 million in average viewership, but the current average viewership has exceeded 54 million, and it is still increasing. There is no doubt that It has become the awards ceremony with the highest ratings in film history, and its attention and popularity have become the highest in history.

It is worth mentioning that the "Six Heroes of the Pig" has finally won a Golden Man. At present, four of the five nominated works for the best film have been affirmed. Only "perfect perfection" still has no movement, which seems to imply. This slightly controversial work among film critics, after all, is still subject to the weakening of the director's skill, and temporarily fell into a disadvantage in the ultimate showdown, and its advantages are constantly being eroded.

This is not good news for Hugo, because as a "perfect" screenwriter, the possibility of him winning in the best original screenplay department is weakening, and the battle for best director and best film is far behind. . This is the award ceremony. There is only one winner, so. There are winners, there are losers, the cruel and simple fact.

In this way, after half of the award ceremony, "Titanic" took the lead with eight trophies, which completely changed the entire awards pattern tonight, even if "Titanic" itself was born as a technological innovation. , But such outstanding performance is still surprising. Is it coming out of the standard ending tonight? Ended with a sweeping sweep of the "Titanic"? Competitors such as "L.A. Confidential" gave up resistance after only a short struggle?

But immediately after Oscar, he gave another surprise. The long-lived "L.A. Confidential", "Perfect Perfection" and "Mind Catcher" once again regained their advantages in the first half, because the screenwriting department is about to stage the ultimate showdown, and in the screenwriting awards Before the award, there is the last award in the technical category, the Best Film Editing Award-this is also a key award that determines the direction of the best film.

The winner of the Best Film Editing category is undoubtedly "Titanic". The other four nominees "L.A. Confidential", "Mind Catcher", "Perfect" and "Air Force One" have absolutely no problems with their strengths, but the overall momentum is weak. In particular, the "Six Light Pigs", who was among the best film battles, unexpectedly lost the award, which also made the competition even more fierce.

Just when everyone thought that the next story would end with a "standard ending" such as "Titanic" a strong victory, a completely different name came out on the speakers-"L.A. Confidential"!

In an instant, everyone in the audience became a sensation, and the sacred auditorium, which had been silent for nearly two hours, became crazy again. Compared with the "Titanic" sweeping the army, it was exciting. But after all, there is still a little surprise, but now the victory of "L.A. Confidential" has brought the suspense back to reality, making people clearly aware that the competition for the best film has not yet settled!

What's more, the best movie editing is hailed as the "small best movie" because it tests a movie's comprehensive scheduling ability, editing style, and rhythm control level. Often the best movie and the best movie editing are packaged. Issued. Now, the "Titanic", which has won eight consecutive trophies, has accidentally smashed. On the contrary, its most powerful competitor "L.A. Confidential" has successfully won, which makes all media reporters' predictions must be rewritten.

"L.A. Confidential" once again won a place in the fierce competition with its absolutely outstanding quality, again adding suspense to the battle for the best picture, and the subsequent award trends also proved this. In the script department immediately after the award, there was no such thing as "Titanic". James Cameron could only become a spectator, trying to figure out some trends in the best film from the context of the winners.

"L.A. Confidential" has almost no rival among the best adapted screenplays. Originally, the script of this work has received unanimous praise from professionals. The real fierce competition in the script department is concentrated in the original division, which makes "L.A. "Confidential" took an absolute advantage and defeated the other four competitors without a doubt, and won the third goldman tonight-and the weight of the three trophies is exceptional: best supporting actress, best Film editing and best adapted screenplay, even if they are not comparable to "Titanic" in number, the quality is enough to give this work the ability to win the best film.

Suspense suddenly increased! Is it true that as Billy said, "L.A. Confidential" is going to become an iceberg?

Bryan Helgrand, who went on stage to accept the award, was almost crying. He has been rolling in Hollywood for ten years, but he has never been able to achieve outstanding results, but he did not expect to achieve this time in the "L.A. Confidential" With such a brilliant result, he has unconsciously become the pinnacle of his career.

Leonardo couldn't help pushing Hugo with his elbow, then gently lifted his chin and pointed at Brian on the stage, as if saying, "It will be your turn in a while." Hugo was speechless and gave directly to him. Leonardo rolled his eyes, causing Leonardo to chuckled, but even Jack, who was sitting on the other side, quietly said to Hugo's ear, "It's up to you now." Hugo was speechless for a while, this group of friends!

Hugo rolled his eyes, but the palms of his hands were still slightly slippery. The sense of urgency swarming from all directions made him unable to help but exhale a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the dull air accumulated in his chest, but even so, he could still feel heavy pressure on the eardrum.

Unlike the previous competition for acting awards, and the previous competition for screenplay awards "before sunrise", today Hugo feels that everything is very strange, there is an unspeakable strangeness. Everything is normal, and he is more calm than the previous few times. Although he is still a little nervous, he won't panic again. The most important thing is that his mentality seems to be much calmer, but Hugo always feels there. It's not quite right, it's a special feeling that can't be expressed.

This made Hugo take a deep breath again, forcing himself to focus on the stage Compared to the experienced Hugo, Ben Affleck is in a better state at this time. To describe it as bad, in fact, Brian is still giving his acceptance speech. There is at least one or two minutes before the award of the original screenplay award, but the inner anxiety has made Ben unable to sit down at all, as if there is a hedgehog on the chair. He couldn't help but start to adjust himself. After moving left and right several times, he still felt that something was wrong, and even felt even stranger. It seemed that he was covered with ants all over his body. The restlessness made Ben almost unaware of his forehead slowly. Sweat that seeps out.

"This award belongs to me and Matt! This award belongs to me... This award belongs to me! It belongs to me! It belongs to me!" Ben kept repeating this sentence in his mind, trying to calm his irritability. , But he didn't even realize it himself. He had already spoken it directly. Although it was only a vague whisper, he made Simon Beufoy sitting next to him cast a surprised and weird expression?—— Matt sits in the actor's candidate area, and next to Ben is another candidate for the original script, Simon, which makes Simon's nervous mood a little relaxed.

Best original screenplay! This year's competition is second only to the best film award. The American Screenwriters Guild chose "Perfect" and "L.A. Confidential"; the Golden Globe Award chose "Mind Catcher". So, what is the Oscar's choice? ? (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome)
