Chapter 315 Zhang Ziyi in a tulle evening dress!
The award ceremony officially began in the evening.

Actors from all major crews were also present.

With the opening speech by host Chris Rock, the huge venue filled with audiences officially began the awards ceremony!
The first major award to be announced was the Best Art Direction award, which was presented by black film queen Halle Berry.

The winner was the movie "The Aviator" starring Leonardo DiCaprio.

The first award for Kaimen Daji!
The second one is the Best Supporting Actor. The Oscars are awarded randomly every time, and only the Best Picture is usually left for the last.

Javier was a little nervous, "Chen, I'm a little nervous."

"I can see that Javier." Chen An saw that the other party was uncomfortable no matter how he sat, and he saw it at a glance: "Don't worry, there is no rival for your role!"

Chen An even felt that even Heath Ledger's Joker could not defeat Javier's mushroom-headed perverted killer without the death buff!
What's more important is that the Best Picture "Million Dollar Baby", which was supposed to appear at this year's Oscars, has been moved to the 73rd Academy Awards!

Morgan Freeman had already won the Best Supporting Actor award, not to mention Javier whose performance was even better suited to the role!

As expected, the award presenter Renée Zellweger announced: "The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is Javier Bardem from No Country for Old Men!"

"Oh~!"

As soon as these words were spoken, Javier next to Chen An stood up and cheered!
The people around couldn't help but applaud and congratulate each other when they saw how happy they were.

Javier excitedly went on stage, took the trophy from the guest, and said happily: "Thank you judges for your choice. Because time is short, I will quickly say that this award belongs to the entire crew. Thank you Chen for choosing me and creating the most perverted hairstyle in film history for me. Thank you!"

While giving his acceptance speech, he couldn't help but complain about this terrible release.

Chen An in the audience couldn't help but cover his face when listening to this. There's nothing I can do about it, you're just too suitable!

Especially since Chen An and others were seated in the front row, the camera just swept past and appeared on the big screen, which made people want to laugh!
After Javier finished speaking, he walked off the stage with the trophy and certificate, and said to Chen An: "I'm right, Chen, this is indeed the most perverted hairstyle in movie history!"

"Okay, okay, stop talking. You've already finished filming and won all the awards."

Chen An waved his hand to signal the other party to shut up.

The award ceremony continued, and "No Country for Old Men" was nominated for many technical awards, just like "The Aviator".

But then it was the other party’s special session, and they won all the technical awards!
The other party won a series of awards, including Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Costume Design.

The only award that the crew of "House of Flying Daggers" led by Zhang Yimou was nominated for, was not nominated for Best Cinematography!

Zhang Yimou had a look of disappointment on his face, but he still led the applause. Liu Dehua, who was here for the first time, didn't feel anything.

After winning the Best Costume Design Award, "The Aviator" also won the Best Supporting Actress Award!
Cate Blanchett, who is still famous for her role as the Elf Queen in "The Lord of the Rings series", won the Best Supporting Actress!

For a time, the crew of "The Aviator" was very popular and won several awards in succession!

However, the next award presenters surprised Chen An a little. Two actors he knew appeared on the stage, Jake Gyllenhaal and Zhang Ziyi, and appeared together!
As the award presenter, I will present the Best Visual Effects Award!

Jake Gyllenhaal had a buzz cut and wore a black suit. Zhang Ziyi had a Republican-era hairstyle and wore a tight-fitting evening gown, which was black and made of tulle. She wore a sparkling diamond necklace on her chest and slowly walked out holding Jake's hand.

It can be seen that this program attaches great importance to this award-giving opportunity.

It seems that this year, he became an Oscar lifetime judge, officially making the name of "International Zhang" famous!

When the two of them came out, they saw Chen An sitting in the front row under the stage. They smiled and nodded to greet him, and Chen An also responded to them.

Then the two of them looked towards the camera, well prepared.

Zhang Ziyi was the first to speak with her signature smile: "Movies continue to create miracles."

Jack followed up, “When a movie can’t do something, the producer will turn to visual effects experts for help. Here are the visual effects wizards selected this year!”

Then the tall golden curtain behind him was pulled open, and a dozen men in black suits appeared behind him!

The meaning is self-evident, these are the technicians shortlisted for Best Visual Effects!
"I, Robot", "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban", "Spider-Man 2".

The behind-the-scenes production staff of the three films. Although there are only three films, there are so many people nominated.

The curtain was drawn, and the actors and directors below all applauded, including Chen An. Maybe they would find each other in the future. After the clips of the three shortlisted films were shown on the big screen.

Zhang Ziyi leaned forward and said with a smile: "The winner of this year's Oscar is..."

He swayed his body, looking expectantly at Jack beside him as he slowly opened the envelope and said aloud, "Spider-Man 2!"

The award was announced, and four people out of the dozen or so people at the back walked out and jointly won the award.

The Oscars were also generous, giving each of the four people a trophy. Compared to the previous Cannes years when there was no trophy, this is truly a benchmark!

Several behind-the-scenes staff received the trophy and shared their joy. What’s funny is that this happened forty-five seconds after the acceptance speech.

This was the case except for the Best Picture award at the end, where there were four people winning the award and each of them could only say a few words.

Each person gave a few words to express their gratitude for the award.

The next award to be announced was for Best Adapted Screenplay, and An Chen's "No Country for Old Men" was also among them.

Also nominated are "Sideways", "Before Sunset", "Finding Neverland" and "The Motorcycle Diaries".

"Million Dollar Baby", which was originally going to occupy a position, has been moved away, and Chen An has taken its place again!
The guest presenter who walked onto the stage was Adam Sandler, a name most people probably wouldn't have any impression of.

But the other party is hailed as the North American comedy king after Jim Carrey!

They starred in funny comedies such as "50 First Dates", "Remote Control of Life" and "Dad's Good Son"!
Although most of the film's moves are nonsensical or even cheap, audiences just love to watch it.

Among them, "Dad's Good Son" became a popular example of film editing in the short video field. Its box office reputation was not ideal, but its sales on streaming channels were surprisingly good.

The other person walked onto the stage with a grin on his face and a crooked gait, looking very funny.

Adam Sandler smiled on the stage, and the fans on the floors behind him couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Okay, okay, this is an award ceremony, not my talk show. Next I'm going to present the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay!"

Adam Sandler said as he opened the envelope: "The Oscar winner is Chen from No Country for Old Men!"

This is not the first time that Chen An has won this award. The last time was for "Million Dollar Baby".

Chen An stood up, straightened his clothes, walked onto the stage, and took the trophy handed to him by the other party.

Adam Sandler looked at it with envy and said, "It's really infuriating. This is the second time that I've won the Chen Award, but I can't even get a nomination. What a failure."

"Hahaha." Chen An held the trophy and smiled: "If you compete with me, you will be angry to death sooner or later."

Facing Chen An's outrageous words, the other party was not angry, but pretended to be surprised and widened his eyes: "Why is it so irritating even when you tell the truth? Talented people are so annoying!"

Made the whole audience laugh!

Indeed, judging by his resume and awards, Chen An is simply not a human being, not even the Chinese ones would talk about him.

The three major European awards and the Oscars are won back and forth, not to mention other things. It is not the first time that a director has won the screenplay award.

He participated in the Oscars three times, once for Best Original Screenplay and twice for Best Adapted Screenplay, and did all the work of a screenwriter.

Maybe he is not the youngest director now, but he is no worse than other veteran directors!

Age is no longer his advantage, but experience is no longer his disadvantage!

After making fun of the other party for a few sentences, Chen An began to express his acceptance speech: "Ah, thank the judges again for giving me the script award every time. When I get too old to make movies, I can still switch to being a screenwriter. I just hope the screenwriters don't look down on me for crossing industries to steal jobs."

After saying this, the camera immediately switched to the shortlisted screenwriters.

Everyone applauded with a wry smile. Chen An, the director who wrote and directed the script himself, was really the most annoying!
Adam Sandler, who was standing behind Chen An, couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh. He felt that Chen An must be very talented if he didn't want to be a director but a comedian.

He made jokes every time at the Oscars, and the Oscars didn't resist. He is both talented and capable.
