Chapter 406 The Curtain Opens
As the favorite to win the award, the crew of "The Return of the King" appeared relatively late, and little Gilbert appeared even later.

If age, seniority and respect are not taken into account, he should be the last to appear.

However, at this time, we still have to respect some of the old men in Hollywood and give them the finale.

It goes without saying that the red carpet is the runway for female stars.

When the graceful and elegant Scarlett and little Gilbert walked onto the red carpet, they posed in several positions in the middle of the red carpet for the media to take pictures.

Gilbert Jr. interacted with the fans in the fan zone for a while, then returned to the center of the red carpet and reunited with Scarlett before heading to the interview area.

The red carpet host was already waiting here and asked a few questions, to which little Gilbert answered casually.

As for whether he can win the award, Gilbert Jr. expressed humility: "I am confident in "The Return of the King", but there are many great movies this year. In the end, it all depends on the results."

Scarlett said: "Little Gilbert will definitely win an award this year. The Return of the King will win at least seven or eight awards."

There is nothing wrong with Scarlett saying this, as she is being modest, but there is no need for Scarlett to be modest.

After finishing the red carpet interview, Gilbert Jr. took Scarlett into the award ceremony hall of the Kodak Theater and found the seating area belonging to the "Return of the King" crew and sat down.

At this time, Elijah Wood, Anne Hathaway, Orlando Bloom, Howard Shore and other main creators have already sat down here.

"How's the filming of 'Pirates of the Caribbean' going in Mexico?" Anne Hathaway seemed very concerned about the movie.

Orlando Bloom said he didn't know: "You have to ask the director about this. I'm just an actor."

Gilbert Jr. said: "Post-production is almost done now, and I have completed the first cut of the film. It will probably be released in time for the summer season."

Anne Hathaway said she was looking forward to this film: "Okay, you must invite me to the premiere when the time comes."

She then touched little Gilbert's head and said in amazement: "Sometimes I wonder, how did your head grow? Why do you have so many inspirations?
It seems like it will never run out, it’s amazing.”

Scarlett chuckled and said, "You are a child of God, sister. You only have talents given by God."

Elijah Wood also joined in the ridicule: "Damn it, God is too partial. Why doesn't he give me such talent?"

Although little Gilbert is very serious at work, he is relatively easy-going in life.

He also knew that this was just a joke to lighten the atmosphere before the award ceremony started, so he was not angry but rather cheerful.

After the celebrities, guests and bigwigs came in one after another, the award ceremony officially began.

Perhaps considering the dismal ratings of the Oscars in the past two years, the stage for this year's Oscars was decorated very splendidly and attentively, with high-end band performances and gorgeous dance performances.

If you don’t know, you might think you’re watching a performance at the Royal Theatre.

At this time, Steve Martin, the host, came on stage and teased all the celebrity guests with his excellent eloquence and performance.

The focus is on Little Gilbert, and Steve Martin said he was very jealous of Little Gilbert.

"Little Gilbert, if you don't mind, would you let me kidnap you, take you to Fort Detrick, and dig open your head to study it?"

The celebrity guests in the audience laughed loudly. As everyone knows, although Fort Detrick considers itself a confidential organization, its secrets have long been known to the outside world.

Various conspiracy theories have emerged one after another, and some people believe that the bodies of aliens are hidden there and are used to study viruses that have never existed on Earth.

Therefore, Deborg became the object of ridicule in various comedy shows.

Steve Martin continued to tease: "Wow, look at little Scarlett next to her, she's not happy. Well, if the research yields results, I'm willing to give you half of little Gilbert's head."

This unique American humor also made Scarlett laugh, and she finally couldn't help but applaud.

Amid the jokes, the first award of this year's Oscars was presented.

In order to attract attention, the first award presented is usually the Best Supporting Actor Oscar. However, "The Return of the King" is an ensemble drama, and the performance award has nothing to do with "The Return of the King".

The award presenter was Jennifer Connelly. Thanks to Gilbert Jr.'s relationship, Jennifer Connelly's career has been very successful in the past two years. She also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress last year.

According to convention, the actors who won awards in the previous year will serve as award presenters this year, with actresses presenting awards to actors and actors presenting awards to actresses.

Watching Jennifer Connelly reading the list of nominations on the stage, Gilbert Jr. suddenly thought of something.

If history had not changed, and multiple genders would have emerged in the future, wouldn't the Oscars have to change as well?

For example, the number of acting awards suddenly increased to more than a hundred, such as the Best Plastic Bag Actor Award or the Best Attack Helicopter Actor Award.

This scene is so weird just thinking about it.

Of course, Oscar doesn't have to change.

Well, I'm sorry, Oscar is wrong, wait for the condemnation!

The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is Chris Cooper from the crew of "Adaptation". An acting award can make the crew of "Adaptation" laugh.

That's enough, after all, there is a behemoth this year.

After the Best Supporting Actor award was presented, several technical awards were presented, including Best Makeup, Best Costume Design, and Best Original Song, all of which were won by "The Return of the King".

Si Jia was still counting backstage: "We have already won three awards, and there are still ten awards to go. I think there is hope that we can win them all today."

Anne Hathaway expressed her support: "Scarlett, we will win big tonight." The other crews have become numb. They understand that apart from the acting awards, they have little hope this year. The Best Foreign Language Film and Best Documentary awards have nothing to do with them.

After the Best Original Song award was presented, it was time for the performance and the band played "The Return of the King", which won the Best Original Song award.

Annie Lennox sang "Into the Wes," a song from The Return of the King, to critical acclaim.

After the performance, the award ceremony continued.

Not far from the Kodak Theater, David Ellison and Michael Ovitz were watching the award ceremony. Tonight was destined to be the peak moment for Gilbert Jr.

Sky Cinema Studios doesn’t have any big projects this year, with the focus being on Van Helsing.

In addition, David is very interested in air combat movies and is discussing with Michael Ovitz about shooting an air combat-themed movie.

"Didn't you say that little Gilbert was about to go downhill? Why do I see him appearing even more brilliant tonight?"

David was a little unhappy as he watched The Return of the King keep winning awards on the live broadcast.

He originally thought that little Gilbert, who had become famous in Hollywood since his youth, was the same kind of person as himself, but he did not expect that little Gilbert and those poor guys in Hollywood were birds of a feather and had no vision.

Michael Ovitz was secretly dissatisfied, but on the surface he still agreed with David Ellison's words.

"David, don't be anxious. Although Gilbert performed brilliantly tonight, this is the last time. Once you reach a peak, you will always start to decline."

"Huh!" David Ellison was still unhappy: "I hope it's true as you said!"

Will it decline? Michael Ovitz is not sure, although Gilbert Jr. is almost 33 years old and has entered middle age.

But for the directing industry, thirty-three is still young.

Many Hollywood directors have not gotten the opportunity to direct independently in their thirties, while Gilbert Jr. has been famous for more than ten years. This is the gap.

The theory of falling from the top may be applicable to others, but is it applicable to Gilbert Jr.? Michael Ovitz is skeptical.

As we were talking, "The Return of the King" won three awards including Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing, and Best Original Score.

Howard Shore was very happy because he had already won an Oscar for Best Original Score for "The Fellowship of the Ring" two years ago.

This is the second time he has won this award in three years, and of course he is very happy.

Howard Shore warmly hugged Gilbert Jr. and thanked him: "Thank you, Gilbert Jr., thank you for choosing me to work with you. This honor belongs to you."

Little Gilbert waved his hand and said, "Success depends on everyone. Go up and claim your glory!"

"Thank you," Howard Shore expressed his gratitude again, "We will definitely get what we want tonight."

After the Best Original Score, the Best Supporting Actress award was presented. Meryl Streep, the goddess of awards, won this award for "Adapted Screenplay".

As a result, "Adapted Screenplay" actually won two awards and became the biggest winner after "The Return of the King", which was a bit unexpected.

A lot of movies like "Gangs of New York" and "The Hours" didn't make any gains, and the crew members of "Adaptation" were laughing so hard that wrinkles appeared on their faces.

The next few awards were presented, and the Best Animated Feature Film was won by "Spirited Away" by the animation master Hayao Miyazaki from the island country.

Little Gilbert could only say that Hayao Miyazaki deserved this award.

Next is the Best Foreign Language Film. It is worth mentioning that the crew of "Hero" from mainland China also came to the Oscars ceremony, and "Hero" was shortlisted for this year's Best Foreign Language Film.

However, Zhang Yimou was disappointed. He did not win the award this time. The Best Foreign Language Film was given to the German film "No Home".

Although "National Master Zhang" did not win the Best Foreign Language Film, this film at least made National Master Zhang famous in North America.

Earlier, when Gilbert was interviewed, he also recommended Zhang, the national director. He said: "I think the Chinese director Zhang is a very outstanding director."

It is not easy to get evaluation from Gilbert Jr., especially from a foreign director. National Master Zhang has now attracted the attention of some Hollywood production companies.

After this year's Oscars, National Master Zhang may get an opportunity from Hollywood.

After the Best Foreign Language Film award, it was the turn of the first award related to Gilbert Jr., the Best Editing Award.

As we all know, Gilbert Jr. usually collaborates with editors to edit his own films, so when he is nominated, his name will be listed at the end.

As expected, the Best Editing Award also went to "The Return of the King".

However, Gilbert Jr. did not go up to receive the award, but gave the opportunity to editor Mehdi Thomson, who had worked with him for many years.

Mehdi Thomson was already a senior editor in Hollywood at this time. He had won two Oscars for Best Editing, and this year was his third time.

However, Mehdi Thomson gave all the credit for the award to Gilbert Jr.: "I am just a worker, and the editing ideas all came from director Gilbert Jr.

It can be said that without his ideas, there would be no editing for me, so this award belongs to him.”

When the other nominated editors heard this, they all cursed Mehdi Thomson as a bootlicker. If possible, they also wanted to work with Gilbert Jr.

Unfortunately, there is no such opportunity!
