Chapter 82 Award Ceremony
There is a slight time difference in the domestic broadcast, which is more than ten hours later than the time on the other side of the ocean. At this time, many directors and celebrity artists in the circle are watching the live broadcast.

In this life, with Gu Wei's participation, the attention paid to this year's Oscars has been raised several levels in China.

Winter vacations have already ended for major domestic universities, and students have gradually returned to school. Beijing Film Academy has also specially organized students to watch the live broadcast in the auditorium, with prepared banners nearby.

In the crew of "The Return of the Condor Heroes", it was rare that Big Beard did not organize the filming. The crew members gathered together and paid attention to the award ceremony.

"Mom, look, that's the senior."

Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and others stared at the screen in front of them, and when they saw Gu Wei appear in the camera, they said.

Huang Xiaoming, who was standing next to her, saw Liu Yifei's situation, smiled and said nothing.

Directors such as Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige and Feng Xiaogang were also watching the broadcast, their eyes full of envy.

Many netizens also commented online, hoping that Gu Wei would win the grand prize.

...

As host Chris Rock took the stage, the scene fell silent, leaving only the sound of cameras.

As an essential part of the Oscars, many stars in the audience were teased by the host.

The string of nonsense made Gu Wei a little drowsy. Gu Wei didn't find this guy's American humor funny.

Fortunately, it didn't last too long, and the ceremony officially began with the appearance of the award presenter.

"Congratulations to The Aviator for winning this year's Oscar for Best Art Direction."

The audience burst into applause.

"Best Cinematography for The Pilot, congratulations."

"Best Editing of The Pilot, congratulations."

Gu Wei seemed to see the ending of "The Pilot". Poor Leon, I hope he can hold on.

Zhang Ziyi and Jack Gillharen, a rising Hollywood actor who starred in "The Day After Tomorrow", presented the Best Visual Effects Award for "Spider-Man 2".

The first few awards were small ones, and after the halftime performance, the second round of awards began.

The Best Original Screenplay award went to "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind."

As the awards became more and more important, the atmosphere in the audience became more heated.

...

"The nominees for this year's Best Actress Oscar are:

Hilary Swank, Million Dollar Baby;
Annette Bening, Being Julia;
Catalina Sandino Moreno, “Ave Maria”;
Imelda Staunton, Vera Drake;
Kate Winslet, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind;”

Clips from the nominated films were shown on the screen one by one.

Afterwards, the award presenter Sean Penn opened the card with the list of winners and looked at the audience.

"The Best Actress winner is Hilary Swank for Million Dollar Baby. Congratulations."

At this time, everyone's eyes turned to where Hilary Swank was, and many female stars at the scene showed envious eyes.

There was warm applause from the audience.

Actress Hilary Swank walked onto the stage under the gaze of the crowd, winning the Oscar for Best Actress, an award coveted by Hollywood actresses.

On the stage, Hillary burst into tears of joy, took the trophy from the presenter, and began to give her acceptance speech.

Gu Wei looked at Hillary on the stage and nodded. He had also seen "Million Dollar Baby" and it was indeed to the jury's taste.

After the Best Actress award was presented, "Sideways" won the Best Adapted Screenplay.

"Gu, the Best Actor award ceremony will begin soon." Will Smith blurted out.

Gu Wei turned his head to look at him. Will Smith's breathing was a little rapid at this moment. This was the closest he had ever been to Oscar.

Gu Wei didn't know how to comfort him, so he just patted Will Smith on the shoulder as an encouragement.

On the stage, Charlize Theron walked up in a dress. As the Best Actress winner of the last Oscar, she will be the presenter of the Best Actor award tonight.

"The nominees for this year's Oscar for Best Actor are:

Jamie Foxx, "Soul";
Don Cheadle, Hotel Rwanda;
Leonardo Dicaprio, The Aviator;
Johnny Depp, Finding Neverland;
Clint Eastwood, Million Dollar Baby;
Will Smith, The Pursuit of Happyness;"

The six nominated films flashed on the big screen, all featuring highlights of the male protagonists in the movies.

Charlize Theron tore open the envelope, took a look, and then looked at the people in the audience.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is Will Smith for "The Pursuit of Happyness". Congratulations."

Will Smith stood there in a daze, then suddenly stood up and gave Gu Wei a tight hug.

"Thank you, thank you, Gu."

Will Smith kept saying thank you.

"Go ahead, Will. You deserve this."

At this moment, everyone's eyes were on Gu Wei. Leonardo had a forced smile on his face and turned his eyes over here.

Will Smith walked up to the podium amid the applause of the crowd, received the golden statue from Charlize Theron, and then hugged her.

"Thank you, thank you everyone, and thank you very much to the jury for giving me this award, giving me the opportunity to stand on this stage and receive this trophy."

Will Smith kissed the little golden man and continued.

"I want to especially thank my director, Gu Wei, for helping me realize my wish and making my dream come true."

After Will Smith finished speaking, he looked at Gu Wei and bowed slightly, and warm applause suddenly broke out from the audience.

"Gu, you are a talented director, very creative. I look forward to working with you next time."

Gu Wei smiled when he heard this in the audience. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he found that there was something different in Leonardo's eyes when he looked at him.

"Finally, thank you to my dear family, my wife and children, you are the greatest motivation in my life, I love you all."

Will Smith showed a warm smile when he mentioned his family.

Then, Will Smith slowly walked off the stage under the gaze of everyone.

...

At this time, many people in China who were watching TV were also excited to see Will Smith win the Best Actor award.

"Mom, did you see that? The senior has won an Oscar for Best Actor."

When Liu Xiaoli heard Liu Yifei's words, an expression of disbelief appeared on her face.

The other crew members nearby had all kinds of expressions on their faces, it was quite interesting.

Although the winner is not a Chinese, this also proves the ability of director Gu Wei. If he can bring out an Oscar winner for Best Actor from abroad, it also means that he can bring out other people in China, even if it is not an Oscar.

The female celebrities in China who were paying attention to the award ceremony became even more excited when they saw Gu Wei in the camera.

The award ceremony continued. After the Best Actor award, the next award was the Best Director award. Gu Wei's emotions became nervous. He glanced at the little golden man in Will Smith's hand next to him and looked at the award stage with some anticipation.
