Phoenix is ​​so calm that he doesn't look like he won an Oscar.

It was explosive as soon as he opened his mouth, and he waved his hand: Stop.

Good guy, others only thought that the time for applause for them was short, so he directly told others not to applaud.

When the guests and the audience saw it, they found that it was the person who played "Joker". It was really weird!
Since you are so weird, we will give you this face. Everyone quickly stopped applauding.

Phoenix saw that the scene was quiet and continued to speak:

"I'm filled with gratitude right now, and I don't feel like I'm any better than any of the other nominees or anyone here because we share the same passion and love for the film industry.

I’ve been thinking about some of the frustrating issues we all face. Sometimes we think..."

Phoenix did not thank anyone specifically today. Instead, he expressed all his feelings about playing "Joker" through this speech.

Then he rose to the level of man and nature, and also conveyed his vegetarianism thoughts.

The audience listened with interest to the entire speech and applauded him several times during the period. I guess no one will object if I say that this is the most profound acceptance speech tonight.

Zhang Yang heard something different. He looked at Kevin and asked, "Hey, did you apply for many awards for "Joker"?"

After all, "Joker" is a Warner film, so Zhang Yang can't help but let him sign up for other film festivals.

“Of course, I registered it for 16 awards including the San Diego Film Critics Association Award, the New York Online Film Critics Association Award, the Hollywood Film Critics Association Award, etc.

"Joker" has won 11 awards including Venice, Golden Globe, and Oscars, and Phoenix has won 9 Best Actor including Oscar winner. "Kevin said very proudly.

This time, the movie "Joker" also allowed them to experience the feeling of winning awards and being soft-hearted.

"I see Phoenix thanking people so much that he feels numb with gratitude." Zhang Yang knew the reason why Phoenix was so calm, and he probably couldn't think of more new words of appreciation.

Liu Yifei suddenly said to Zhang Yang in Chinese from the side: "It's not that many. Zhang Ziyi in "The Grandmaster" also won eight or nine Best Actress awards."

She didn't know that Zhang Ziyi had won several Best Actress awards by Zhang Yang, otherwise she would have won 12 Best Actress awards in one movie.

Soon after Phoenix finished his speech, he returned to his seat with the statuette and exchanged a few words with Kevin and Zhang Yang again.

Next is the Best Actress. This time, DiCaprio went up to present the award and awarded it to Emma Stone.

She finally won the title with "La La Land".

After the Best Actress awards are over, only the Best Picture award is left!
The best picture awards were presented to Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway.

In fact, in years when the Oscars end in 7, you can often see them presenting awards.

Because in such a year, it is exactly ten years since the movie "The Male and Female Thief" was released.

This year marks the 50th anniversary of the release of "The Male and Female Thief"!

This movie is a milestone for Hollywood.
In the 1950s and 1960s in the United States, with the rise of the television industry, the film industry suffered a huge impact. New forms of entertainment have replaced cinemas, and the frequency of people stepping into cinemas has gradually decreased.

And "The Male and Female Thief" is the pioneering work of New Hollywood. The popularity of this movie not only changed the audience's aesthetics, but also prompted major Hollywood studios to make adjustments.

They stopped taking over everything and let the young directors show their talents. Movie boys started to make their mark.

Subsequently, films such as "The Graduate", "Easy Rider", "Mean Streets", "The Godfather", "Jaws" and "Taxi Driver" appeared, enriching the types of movies, breaking the previous stereotypes, and giving Hollywood a A new wave of its own.

Directors such as Martin Scorsese, Coppola, and Spielberg also took advantage of the east wind to enter the stage of the times.

Back to the topic, this year's Oscar nominees for Best Picture include: "Joker", "Hacksaw Ridge", "Hidden Figures", "Lion", "Moonlight", "Fences", "La La Land", "Through Fire or Fire" and "Manchester by the Sea" are a total of nine films.

After Warren and Dunaway chatted for a while, they began to play clips from nine films.

After the nine videos were played, Warren opened the envelope and took out the letter. After reading it, his face was full of surprise. He was shocked by the content of the letter.

He took out the letter first and then looked into the envelope. There were no other letters?
Warren began to wonder, what's going on with Oscar? To test this 80-year-old man?

He kept rubbing the envelopes and letters, and started to say with an embarrassed face: The Oscar winner is..., and the Best Picture winner is...

Dunaway can't stand it. You, an 80-year-old guy, have so many dramas.

She smiled directly and said: "I really can't stand you anymore..."

Warren was a little helpless. He showed the letter to Dunaway to show his difficulty.

Dunaway was a real tiger, and she simply said: "Hurry up."

Then he simply accepted the letter and announced directly without reading it carefully:
"La La Land"

The entire scene burst into warm applause and shouts. It was expected that this film, which had received 14 nominations, won the biggest award tonight.

The movie "La La Land" won three awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Actress, becoming the biggest winner tonight.

Zhang Yang was a little dazed at this moment. He remembered that "Moonlight" should have won this Oscar.

Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang's dazed look and thought he was a little lost. She moved her body to Zhang Yang's side and whispered in Chinese: "Pay attention, the camera is coming." Zhang Yang's expression returned to normal and he also raised his eyebrows. With the palm coming, his sleeping memories began to wake up a little. As expected, Oscar must have made an own mistake.

Yes, even the Oscars can make mistakes. This is the second time. In 1964, at the 36th Academy Awards ceremony, the Oscars had its first mistake.
The presenter, singer Sammy Davis Jr., awarded the Best Arranged Song award to John Addison, who was supposed to win the original music award.

The problem was the wrong envelope. PwC staff who were backstage at the time rushed out and replaced him with the correct envelope.

So that own goal was not a big deal, and the award was not the most important thing, but this time it was a big deal.

This is the Best Picture Award. Judging from Warren's performance just now, there is something wrong with the envelope. He is not playing tricks!

As Dunaway said who the awards were, the announcements began: "La La Land" received 14 nominations, tying the most nominated films in Oscar history, and won seven Oscars, including...

Before the announcement was over, Fred Berger, the producer of "La La Land", took the lead and almost ran onto the stage after hugging the crew excitedly. He was so excited.

Fred Berger took the statuette from Dunaway and began to deliver his acceptance speech: Thank you, thank you to the organizing committee! Thank you Lionsgate! …

Fred Berger began to speak passionately, and everyone stood up to listen to his speech.

Zhang Yang also stood up, with a bright smile on his face. He looked at Fred Berger's bald head, and the more he looked at it, the more joy he felt. His movie "Joker" should still have a chance!
At this time, accidents began to happen on the stage. A large number of staff members walked onto the stage and began to collect all the certificates issued to the best picture of "La La Land".

"La La Land" has a total of three producers, so three statuettes and certificates were issued. The three certificates will be withdrawn one by one.

Fred Berger was a little confused after knowing the truth. He had finished his speech. After his partner Gary Gilbert finished speaking, he walked to the microphone again. He held up the trophy and said helplessly:

"Thank you to the love of my life, ALi Loewy, it's great to have you around, I love you so much, thank you to my family, mom and dad, and Jeff, thank you!"

The guests off the stage were already in a commotion, and everything on the stage was telling them that something had happened!
"What's going on?" Liu Yifei also felt something was wrong, so she subconsciously whispered to Zhang Yang in Chinese.

"The wrong prize was given!"

"What?" Liu Yifei was a little surprised after hearing Zhang Yang's explanation.

At this time, Fred Berger on the stage showed a wry smile and began to say: "But let me tell you, we did not win the award!"

The audience was in an uproar. This is the acceptance speech for the Oscar for Best Picture. What are you doing?

Soon a staff member came to the microphone and began to say seriously: "Everyone, everyone, I'm sorry, something went wrong, something went wrong!"

He then pointed to Zhang Yang and the others and said: "'Joker', you won the best picture!"

Three of the four of them, Zhang Yang, couldn't believe it when they first heard it.

Phoenix looked at Zhang Yang and whispered doubtfully: "Director, is this true or false?" He wondered if this was a prank by Oscar in order to gain ratings.

Don’t overestimate the Oscar threshold.

Without waiting for Zhang Yang to answer, the staff on the stage looked at Zhang Yang and the others as if they knew their concerns, and continued to say seriously: "Come on stage quickly, I'm not lying to you.

Come on stage, this is not a joke, I just reported an error! "

Fred Berger also spoke seriously and gracefully: "This is not a joke, "Joker" won the best picture."

Warren also took out an envelope at this time, walked slowly to the stage, and then took out the letter inside.

Fred Berger looked at the old man's helpless appearance, grabbed the letter, held it high above his head, showed it in front of everyone and said: "Joker, best picture!"

The scene immediately burst into warm applause and shouts again! Many people also congratulated Zhang Yang and the others.

While Zhang Yang thanked him, he looked at Liu Yifei and the others, smiled and said in English: "Let's go up together and accept the honor that belongs to us!"

After he finished speaking, he pulled Liu Yifei up.

Liu Yifei was happy at first, and then she squeezed the hand held by Zhang Yang, trying to get Zhang Yang to stop, and reminded her in Chinese with a serious look on her face: "I'm not a crew member, so it's hard for me to go on stage!"

To be precise, Liu Yifei's speech at the 13 Best Picture Award Ceremony for "Parasite" was not in compliance with the procedures.

The Oscar for Best Picture is an award given to the producer. Except for the producer, no one else is eligible to speak.

But at that time, Zhang Yang made history with a foreign language film, and Liu Yifei was Zhang Yang's wife and an actor on the crew, so the Oscar program team turned a blind eye.

This time is different. Liu Yifei in the movie "Joker" is not even an actor.

"So many people who have not won awards can come on stage, why can't my Zhang Yang's wife!

I share my honor with you, let me see who dares to disagree! "Zhang Yang said domineeringly. He still held Liu Yifei's hand without letting go.

Seeing this, Liu Yifei was willing to go all out and went crazy with him. She let Zhang Yang pull her onto the stage.

Host Jimmy then walked onto the stage and began to control the scene. He first said to the three producers of "La La Land": "You should just keep the three statuettes! There was indeed a mistake, and I am very sorry."

After Jimmy finished speaking, he faced the audience with a serious face: "Everyone, this situation is really unfortunate. Personally, I want to criticize Steve Harvey."
