Chapter 33 The birth of the Triple Crown
"Oh, God, I want to thank the Academy for giving me this precious award method. It's so important to me... Really... Oh... Sorry... I..." Katherine excitedly made her award speech. Her words were a little choked. Indeed, as an actress, even if she can win the Oscar for only once in her life, it would be enough to become a lifelong pride. "... Sorry, my thanks were not very well prepared. I didn't expect... Wow, I have to thank too many people, my parents, my relatives and friends... By the way, I have to thank someone here, that is, my director Mr. Ike. When he found me to star in this movie, he told me that you can definitely act well. I thank him for giving me confidence. Thank you..."
Speaking of this, the scene also gave Ike a camera tactfully, and he still smiled at the camera.
Ike looked at Catherine in the stands, then turned his head and looked at Natalie inadvertently. He didn't expect that at this time, Natalie's eyes were also staring at him, and his eyes were facing each other. Ike shrugged and lowered his head.
He felt a little embarrassed at this time, but in fact he knew the reason here. When he used a modifier to deduce the Oscar, one of which was the result of the deduction, Natalie was the actress. However... he gave up. He asked himself many times for the specific reason, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Maybe there is a reason that is, according to history, Natalie will sooner or later win the Oscar, but Catherine has never been able to.
This reason is a bit far-fetched. From a personal perspective, Catherine has had some substantial relationships with herself, which is selfish, but it is also a fact.
Russo said to Natalie, maybe it was right. Whether he was a good actor or not depends on whether he had sex with the director...
Everyone in this world has selfish intentions, so no one can pretend to be a saint.
The award ceremony continued, and next was the candidate for the best actor. Hugh Jackman was also shortlisted. However, Ike knew that this award was not his.
Sure enough, the actor was won by Russell Clow of "Gladiator", which was the result Ike knew when deducing. Although Ike could deduce Hugh Jackman as the actor, I don't know how much soul value it will take. Hugh Jackman performed well this time, but Russell Clow is stronger. Ike is still a history of restoration here.
Next, the Best Director Awards was held. This award was particularly eye-catching in this Oscar. First, two Chinese directors were shortlisted this time, and second, everyone wanted to see if Ike could continue to win the Best Director. If he won, it would be an insurmountable monument to the Oscar! However, almost all media film critics and even Ike's fans felt that Ike could not win this time. This is an Oscar. It is not a 100-meter race in sports. Everything is timed with a stopwatch. If you win, you can win 100 times. If you have the strength, you can win 100 times again. Human factors account for a large proportion of this. It is impossible for the college judges to ignore this. As a Chinese, you can win Oscars for the next few days. You still want to win three consecutive championships? Unless Ike is the incarnation of God!
In fact, under normal circumstances, a Chinese, even if you win the Oscar for the best director once, is already a huge achievement. The problem is that it is abnormal now!
The guests responsible for awarding the Best Director Award are Robert Zemegis and Martin Scorsis. The two Hollywood gold medal directors were shortlisted for this time: Steven Soderbergh's "Drug Trading/Drug Network", Ang Lee's "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Steven Soderbergh's "Never Compromise", Ridley Scott's "Gladiator" and Ike Lee's "Chicago".
Steven Soderbergh was shortlisted for two movies, which showed his extraordinary film talent. He had previously received the highest call for Best Director of the Oscars, and he also won the award in history.
Robert Zemegis and Martin Scorses first teased each other on the stage, and then Robert opened the envelope. He looked at it and said in disbelief: "It's such an incredible result..." He said that, and handed the envelope to Martin, "You'd better read it, old man."
Martin took his black-rimmed glasses and glanced at the result of the envelope, then held the frame with some disbelief, "It's really... it's really... it's unbelievable..." Martin's words were filled with tremolo, "The one who won the 73rd Oscar for Best Director..."
There was silence below the stage, and even people could be heard breathing, and the audience sitting next to the TV were waiting attentively...
"Ike Lee in Chicago!!!" Martin said the name in the envelope loudly.
There is silence!!!
People seemed to have not reacted yet... Five seconds later... "Wow!!!!" The audience burst into thunderous applause!!
God! Ike did it!!! The first person in Hollywood film history, the best director for three consecutive years!!! What an achievement, what a historical moment!!
It can be said that many members of the jury did not expect it, but that's the case!!!
Soon the audience stood up and cheered for Ike. At this moment, the stars in the audience were taken away by Ike alone!!
Although Ike already knew the result, he was still shocked by the atmosphere on the scene! After all, the feeling of deduction in front of the notebook is still much different from the reality.
Hugh Jackman, Catherine, Natalie, Green and others gathered to hug Ike. Several other directors also stood up to applaud Ike. No matter what, this achievement is known to any filmmaker!
An introduction to Ike rang out over the auditorium: "Director Ike Lee, this is his third consecutive Oscar for Best Director, and this is the first person in American film history to achieve such an achievement..."
Similarly, the audience in front of the TV cheered, which was indeed incredible! Especially when the CCTV broadcast, the commentator stuttered and kept saying, the pride of the Chinese, the great Ike Lee!!
Ike walked towards the podium, and he first hugged the two award presenters, and then took over the Little Golden Man from them.
"Uh..." Ike walked to the microphone and began his speech on his award. The audience immediately became quiet. Everyone wanted to hear what the Triple Crown champion wanted to say.
"Uh... to be honest, I didn't expect... I could continue to win the award for Best Director, sorry... I was a little excited." Ike touched his chest, took the little golden man and looked carefully, and then continued, "I want to thank many people, I want to thank the college..." Ike thanked all the thanks, which is the usual award speech.
"It's really not easy to win this award. Really... there are sweat, tears, um... even life." Ike stroked the little golden man with his hand and continued, "I can stand here three times in a row... I feel incredible, wow! If Oscars are a game, I'm sorry, please allow me to make this metaphor. If it's a game, then so far... I... quite successful... But... we should look forward, I believe... there will definitely be better filmmakers standing here in the future... I'm sorry, just like that! I thank you again, my friends and colleagues, thank you!!!" Ike said and raised the little golden man high in the air and waved it.
There was another round of applause from the audience immediately...
Ike's awards brought the atmosphere of the entire award ceremony to a climax, and people almost forgot that there was an award ceremony for the best movie.
However, the effect is the same, and the winner of the best movie is still "Chicago"!!
