The 81st Oscars came to an end, and "Juno", which swept the five golden statuettes including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Cinematography, and Best Song, became the biggest winner; Actor, Best Art Direction X Best Makeup Award, Best Sound Editing Award for "The Dark Knight" fell short, and after all, it failed to reproduce the glory of "Titanic Little" Lord of the Rings 3, which is bound to become this year's Biggest regret of the awards show; "The Hurt Locker" won for best editing and best sound, while "Slumdog Millionaire..." took home best adapted screenplay and best original score.

In addition, "Robot Wall-E", "Milk", "Life and Death Reading", "Rachel's Wedding" and other works also have their own trophies. And before the awards ceremony, "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button..." became the most lost person, and a best visual effects award could not make up for the traumatized soul of Paramount Pictures.

Best Actor Evan Bell, Best Actress Anne Hathaway, Best Supporting Actor Josh Brolin, Best Supporting Actress Kate Winslet are also estimated to be the youngest recipients of the four largest acting awards in history. This year, Josh Brolin is forty years old and is considered a junior in the Best Supporting Actor Award, which is known as a nursing home. It is not young but not old; it is Evan Bell and Anne-Hathaway, the best actress and actress, who will continue to drop the average age.

After Sid-Ganes took office for the four Oscars, after the creed of "work comes first" was thoroughly implanted into the Oscar's award system, the final winning works at this Oscar all withstood. It has immeasurable significance for the future direction of the Oscars and the future direction of the American film industry, and the positive significance is even more widespread.

From "Brokeback Mountain" to "The Departed" to "No Country for Old Men" and this year's "Juno" Oscars have gone from struggling on the edge of considering whether business and art can be perfectly combined, to pushing the work itself into A painful shift at the core. Although the chaos has been carried out throughout the past four years, the academy led by Sid Ganis has remained unswervingly persevering on this road, and thus, a new era has officially begun.

"Oscar is a curtain on which people's pursuits and desires for fame, beauty and popularity are projected. Who in the curtain has never experienced such a moment of fantasy, facing the bathroom mirror with a bottle of shampoo in hand, Pretend it's the Golden Man, and then elegantly and witty deliver that award-winning speech that you started drafting in kindergarten." This quote comes from "Entertainment Weekly" William Wood, but it vividly expresses the meaning of the Oscars come out.

The 81st Oscars kicked off amid the financial crisis and panic. Compared with the embarrassment of last year's screenwriters' strike, this Oscars is a grand event that everyone is looking forward to. It is hoped that the economy that has fallen into a trough can be revived by singing and dancing. So, the Academy brought sunshine to the Kodak Theater.

The use of Evan-Bell as the host is not just to please young people as the media commented. Although Evan-Bell's popularity has a great influence on young people, I really hope to use Evan-Bell to actively strive to improve X. The color of the American Dream brought the atmosphere of the awards ceremony to a climax. During the whole process of the awards ceremony, Evan Bell's singing and dancing performances again and again, revolving in glory and glory, let the family in front of the scene and the TV became a sea of ​​laughter. The power of this form doesn't have to be measured by the golden age of Hollywood musicals, but only by the sunny breath revealed by the hit "Juno" soundtrack and the highly sought-after song and dance clips of "Slumdog Millionaire..." Spotted.

Of course, "Juno" finally achieved the great reversal of the American dream at the Oscars. With an ordinary to ordinary sketch, with an attitude of facing difficulties, dilemmas, setbacks, and difficulties rather than bending, moving forward bravely, and being positive, it completed The hegemony of Oscar also completed the redemption of the economic crisis. Obviously, Evan-Bell succeeded, and so did the academy and the TV station.

After all, the "American Dream" is one of the proudest inventions in the entire United States. It seems that in order to solidify this emotion and even belief, the award ceremony took the form of introductions by five former award winners, which was solemn and solemn, which not only made The attention of the star's appearance has reached its peak, and at the same time, the implication that the dream will never fall runs through the entire awards ceremony.

At this festive moment, Oscar will not ignore any details, from the funny short film of the Oscar statuette discovered by the robot Wall-E while picking up the garbage, to the collection of clips where the two leading actors of "Pineapple Express" are watching Oscar-nominated films and complaining, Their lighthearted humor suppresses the utilitarianism of success and failure, and brings people's attention back to their dreams and sunshine.

The success of the Academy this time can be seen from the ratings of the awards ceremony. In the end, the 81st Oscars attracted 50.7 million viewers, which not only soared by 58 percentage points from last year— —This data is also the largest in the history of Oscars, and it also surpassed the 76th Oscars, which won the title of "The Lord of the Rings 3", and became the second most-rated awards ceremony in history, second only to "Titanic" "Winning the 70th Oscar!

There are many reasons why the awards ceremony was watched by more than 50 million viewers.

First of all, the time of this awards ceremony is very short. It is the shortest party in the history of the Oscars. It only lasted for three hours and eleven minutes, which is definitely a great benefit for the audience; The performance has almost won unanimous praise. Whether it is the opening words or the song performance, the audience can appreciate the comprehensiveness and contact of Evan Bell; once again, it is a nominee for the best film, including "The Dark Knight Little" Juno", "Slumdog Millionaire..." These three box office hits, especially "The Dark Knight", were the No. 1 box office film in North America, which also made the charm of the award ceremony itself reach "The Lord of the Rings 3"" Titanic" level of that evening.

This has also become the most successful awards ceremony for the Oscars in the past ten years!

The victory of "Juno" is actually not so convincing. After all, such a sketch really does not have any Oscar appearance, and "Juno" defeated the "Dark Knight", which is bound to arouse enthusiasm. discussion, but in fact, from the perspective of the global economic downturn in 2008, "Junot" is the most suitable work for this special year, as there is no more main theme than the victory of love and the victory of life, even if it hides behind it Not like the fairy tale color of life.

Before the Oscars, "The New York Times" once imitated "Slumdog Millionaire..." and made a choice at the beginning. The first multiple-choice question was to ask the winner of the best picture, and the following five questions were: If this film wins the Oscar for best picture, then what is the reason, in this question about "Juno", the options are Evan Bell's personal style charm; Obama-like dark horse victory; underage pregnancy Sunshine ending; fated?

There are many different answers to this question, but in The New York Times, "Fate" is more appropriate. Because purely in terms of the quality of the works, in fact, "Perfume", "Blood is Coming", and "Juno" are all works on the same level. In-depth thinking, after comprehensive consideration, it is each other. So why is it "Juno" and not "Perfume" before it or "There Will Be Blood" which won best director last year because of timing, or fate.

The financial crisis in 2098 is an era where people are likely to crave that kind of life and not have it, so "Revolutionary Road", which questioned the troubles of middle-class marriage, was abandoned at the time of nomination, and the five works nominated for the best picture, Except the theme of "Dark Knight" is too heavy, the other four works are relatively positive works, among which "Juno" is the most bright sunshine. The situation is stronger than people, perhaps this is called fate.

The United States appreciates the American Dream, and so does the Oscars. Historically, there are countless examples of Oscars rejecting big directors and big stars~www.readwn.com~ Now let the "Juno", the spokesperson of the American Dream, reach the top, just like Obama commented on the support he received It was, as he said at the time, "the true genius of America: a belief in the simple and unadorned dreams of her people, a belief that little miracles can happen."

Therefore, whether convinced or not, "Juno" topped the Oscar and became the first work directed by Evan Bell to win the best picture; whether agreed or not, Evan Bell made history and won the most consecutive Best director, won the best actor, won the best original screenplay award for the first time, and won five golden man trophies in one Oscar, this is definitely the first time without precedent; The award season headed by them has officially entered the era of "work comes first". When major film companies invest in their works in the future, the quality of the works has become a hurdle that can never be bypassed.

Unexpected, but expected, the 81st Oscar won the praise of the whole critics. The victory of "Juno" was also regarded as an American miracle, and the quality of its works was even more praised. Countless compliments.

The end of the awards ceremony is the end. As for whether the critics approve or disapprove, it will not have any impact on the results of the awards. The nominees who attended the awards ceremony were happy, disappointed, excited and regretful, but they walked out of the Oscar night. Please show a generous smile, because this is still a Hollywood moment, and the stars are still shining.
