Before the official start of the Oscar, the hacking incident of Sony Columbia Pictures was undoubtedly the focus of attention inside and outside the industry, so the involved Sony Classics also became in a hurry; and the issue of "equality of men and women" became another public opinion vane for the college's public relations...

But the two senior industry leaders Amy Pascal and Scott Rudin, who are truly in the center of the storm vortex, have suffered many blows in their reputation and reputation.

Among them, Amy's situation is a little easier. Her position is closely related to the crisis handling of Sony Columbia Pictures. The worst result is to change a job and with her qualifications and abilities, she will not lose her job; but Scott must still survive in the Hollywood circle.

Of course, with Scott's industry status, he would not be in a slump. The real direct impact is that the "Budapest Hotel", where he served as the producer, suffered a heavy blow. The severe impact of the second phase of the college's public relations is not the kind of direct negative news, but the critical sight behind it. Although Scott has never really hurt anyone, his two-faced actions cannot make people feel relieved.

As you can see from the conversation between reporters from the news center before the award ceremony, the "Budapest Hotel" has gradually fallen behind in the first lineup.

This is a heavy blow to the Fox Searchlight, which is determined to hit the best film. Originally, the "Budapest Hotel" was the best choice to defeat the "Youth". Whether it is the topic of World War II, the retro sense of the era, or the light presentation of fantasy ideas, everything gives this work the advantage; but even though Scott Rudin has completely missed the second phase of public relations, the Fox Searchlight still faces severe tests.

So, how did the Fox searchlight be chosen? Strategically leaning towards the "Birdman", he created the rumors from the news center:

Now the battle between "Birdman" and "Youth" is very fierce and hard to part with. "Explosive Drummer" follows closely, and then the "Bodapest Hotel".

It is precisely under this background that the importance of the technical department to the "Budapest Hotel" has become increasingly prominent. If this work still wants to retain a glimmer of hope of competing for the best film, then the technical department, which is relatively weakly affected by the college's public relations, is a place that military strategists must fight for.

Judging from the current situation, the leading figure is worthy of being the leading figure. Even though Scott Rudin's negative news has seriously dragged it down, it still maintains its overall strength.

Following the Best Clothing Design Award, the "Budapest Hotel" won the Best Art Director, Best Makeup and Styling and Best Original Soundtrack.

Among them, the Best Art Director Award defeated "Interstellar" and "Imitation Game".

Best Makeup and Styling Award, defeating "Fox Hunter" and "Guardians of the Galaxy".

The Best Original Soundtrack Award beats three works: "Interstellar", "Fox Hunter" and "Theory of Everything".

Among them, the best original soundtrack is worth mentioning. Hans-zimmer of "Interstellar" was originally a big hit and very hopeful that since he reached the top with the "Lion King" in 1994, he has tasted the taste of Little Golden Man again after twenty years; but in the end, the award still belongs to French composer Alexandre-desplat

This composer, who won the nomination six times but never won the award, won the double nomination this year for "Imitation Game" and "Budapest Hotel", and finally won the award for its first time.

At this point, the "Budapest Hotel" led the way in the first half of the awards ceremony with four small golden men trophys, cracking down on the joint impact of the hacker incident and recreating the dawn of hope for the best film again, which also added more mysterious color to the suspense in the second half of the awards ceremony.

However, the "Budapest Hotel" is not a movie that controls the overall situation with powerful technology like "gravity". It cannot complete the sweep in the technical department, which also gives other works opportunities.

"Interstellar" won two Little Golden Man in a row, with the Best Visual Effect Award, beating works such as "X-Men: Reversing the Future", "Captain America 2", "Guardians of the Galaxy", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2"; Best Sound Effect Editing Award, beating works such as "Birdman", "Hobbit 2", "Indestructible", and "American Sniper".

"Explosive Drummer" also won another prize for a Little Golden Man, Best Acoustic Effect Award, "Interstellar Crossing", "American Sniper", "Birdman", "Indestructible" and other shortlisted works have not created effective threats. This work, which cleverly runs through the entire story with drum beats, leads the way through the finish line without any suspense.

When the first half of the award ceremony was coming to an end, the "Budapest Hotel" led the way with four trophys, while the "Interstellar" and "Explosive Drummer" each gained two small gold men. Overall, there was a lack of unpopularity and highlights, which basically continued the pattern of the second stage, without any accidents.

Pity?

Of course there is, which is Neil Patrick Harris' magic? What about the transparent box of the winning list handbag that Octavia Spencer is in charge of guarding? Why is there no follow-up? Is it just a joke? Neil has no preparation for the subsequent magic link at all?

Although Neil will perform the show with sesame-sized humor every time he appears, it seems that he is reducing the duration of the award ceremony as much as possible; but his rush to appear and leave failed to speed up the process of the award ceremony, and some links cannot be omitted. Instead, the interaction between the host and the audience is lacking, which also makes the award ceremony a little dry.

At this time, Arthur, who was leisurely sitting next to the indoor open-air swimming pool, slowly stood up, walked through the hall, walked towards the bar not far away, glanced at the ABC TV station live broadcast on the hanging display screen, and then turned around and prepared to prepare some snacks and some juice for himself, relaxing and enjoying it well. He even began to hum a small song, showing an incredible good mood.

Despite this, Neal still devoted the highlights of tonight's Oscars in the first half.

After another nomination performance for Best Original Song, the live camera went straight to the stage and said: Neil is gone.

Then, the camera lens was projected onto the big screen, and all the audience followed the camera director to the backstage, walked through the long corridor, looking for Neil's locker room.

"Have he changed his clothes? Please, are you kidding me now?"

At the far end of the camera lens, Neil, wearing a red bathrobe, was tinkering at the door of his locker room. Then the photographer rushed over, but found that Neil's bathrobe was stuck in the crack of the door. He could not get rid of himself. In desperation, Neil could only...

Take off your bathrobe and go straight to the stage.

Wearing a pair of white underwear.

The most important thing is that the familiar drum beat soundtrack of "Birdman" sounded, and the camera also showed a "Birdman"-style shot. Obviously, Neil was imitating "Birdman", and Michael Keaton walked onto the streets of New York in only white underwear. This scene has won a lot of attention on social networks and presented a viral effect. Now, it has been infected on the Oscar stage again.

The staff who came to ask for the signature, took out their mobile phones and followed the photos, the staff who were gloating and watching, and the backstage guests who were stunned by the fright... The Oscar backstage directly reproduced the classic clips from "Birdman".

The guests on the scene couldn't help laughing happily.

Just when everyone thought this was all, they saw Neil stopping before he was about to take the stage, and turned around, and there was a slightest edge of him.

Renly Hall!

"Ahhhh!"

Many viewers couldn't help but clap and laughed: Drum, Andrew; Andrew, Drum. Under the shell of the imitation show of "Birdman", Neil also invited Lanley to play a guest role as a "burst drummer", cleverly blending the two works, truly achieving a rare entertainment effect.

Neil turned around and made a "interrupted" gesture at Renley, saying in Fletcher's tone, "It's not my rhythm."

Lan Li was stunned and threw away the drumsticks, pushed away the camera lens, turned around and left with great strides, and his voice echoed in the corridor, "I want to leave, I'm leaving now, I absolutely cannot accept it."

The laughter at the scene was simply unstoppable, and the audience burst into laughter. When Neal really took the stage, he reached the peak of the first half. The whistle and applause swept across the audience, and the "Birdman" crew was even more happy. Of course, the "Explosion Drummer" crew was not much better.

There is no doubt that this is the best in the first half, or even the best in the whole game.

Neil completed the show in an embarrassing but must be strong, "Performance is a noble industry." Then he paused for a moment, as if he was hypnotizing himself, and laughter burst out on the scene, "and there are successors in this industry, such as the next group of award presenters, Margot-robbie and Ansel-elgort."

After the introduction, Neil crossed the entire stage and left the stage, leaving behind a ** back.

Perhaps, Neil did not show his magic, nor did he interact with the social network; but at this moment, the young people on the social network were already in a state of turmoil.

The first half of the award ceremony ends with the best foreign language film

"Nun Aida" directed by Polish director Paul Pawel-pawlikowski, there were not many opponents throughout the awards season. He eventually defeated the Russian movie "Leviathan", winning Poland's first Oscar in history for everyone.

Because this is an important moment of creating history, Paul Pavlikovsky was very excited. His speech on the award lasted more than two minutes. Compared with the situation in previous years, which was controlled within forty seconds, it was really out of control. The guests on the scene applauded several times but failed to calm him down.

After the award ceremony, this has become one of the small highlights of countless complaints on social networks.

The second half of the awards ceremony opened with Best Supporting Actress. Last year's Best Supporting Actor winner Jared Leto made a brilliant debut. The battle for Best Picture sounded the horn again. This time, will the competitive situation change? Or will it continue to be calm like the first half?
