Based on past experience, an Oscars ceremony lasts three and a half hours or even four hours.
If you don't feel anything about your Oscar performance, it would be a very boring thing.
The only thing Nanaya could be thankful for was that he didn't have to worry about going to the toilet like those female stars.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the dresses worn by the actresses are extremely luxurious and dazzling.
These clothes are only for viewing and have no practical value at all.
Not to mention doing some special exercises in these clothes, even going to the bathroom is an impossible task.
But even if Nanaya could go to the bathroom whenever he wanted, he couldn't just walk around the award ceremony.
It's understandable that you have to pee urgently occasionally, but you may go to the bathroom 4-5 times during an award ceremony.
I guess the next day everyone in the world would know that Nanaya had kidney problems.
After all, it was a live broadcast, and Nanaya's visits to the bathroom would be recorded several times.
But Nanaya really feels bored watching movies he has never heard of taking away awards one after another.
Compared to such a boring award ceremony, Nanaya actually prefers the TGA award ceremony.
At least Nanaya has played most of the games mentioned on TGA. Even if he hasn't played them, he has at least heard of them.
Although the Oscars are much more prestigious than TGA, they are still too far away from Nanaya.
This is probably the main reason why the Oscar ratings are declining year by year, because the nominated films are all unheard of films, so the process is naturally not interesting.
What made Nanaya feel most uncomfortable was that the screenplay award, which was supposed to be at the top, was moved to the back this year.
Nanaya guessed that this was because the planners of the award ceremony wanted to keep the suspense of the exciting showdown between "Inferno" and "The Dark Knight" until the end.
But Nanaya felt that before that, all the Oscar audiences would run away.
Only the opening song and dance show kept Nanaya interested, after all, Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman looked familiar.
Especially when Hugh Jackman sang "I am Wolverine" at the end, Nanaya chuckled and applauded.
However, Nanaya's sense of humor is different from others. He was thinking of the other party's cameo in "Night at the Museum 3".
After this song and dance, it was time to present the Best Cinematography award.
This made Nanaya sit up straight again, and he looked at Nolan.
But before the two could say anything, the award was already given to "Slumdog Millionaire".
"Sure enough, the academy still doesn't like us very much."
Nolan said regretfully.
"Who says it's not?"
Nanaya shrugged his shoulders.
It was a little awkward at this moment, and Nanaya and Nolan actually felt a kind of sympathy for each other.
But this kind of relationship did not last long.
Soon, "Inferno" won the Best Art Direction Award, while "The Dark Knight" took home the Best Sound Editing Award.
Looking at the Oscar trophy that Ori brought back, Nanaya was a little amused and helpless.
Logically speaking, this trophy is his and Washimine's first Oscar trophy, so he should be happy.
But the way he won the award really didn't make Nanaya happy.
It's not that there's something wrong with the award itself, or that the trophy is fake.
Rather, the purpose of the academy giving me this award was simply to create a balance and as a gimmick.
Now the award victory is tied between "Inferno" and "The Dark Knight".
In this way, the topic of competition between the two sides can continue.
However, Nanaya, who already knew the outcome of this year's Oscars, already had it all figured out.
If "Inferno" doesn't win the Best Original Screenplay award, then "The Dark Knight" will win 2:1.
If one gets it, the game ends in a tie.
Because there was no way the Academy wouldn't give the Best Supporting Actor award to Heath Ledger.
As expected, neither party received the trophies for the awards they were nominated for.
Nanaya and Nolan could only smile and applaud to congratulate the winners, but they themselves could only sit in the audience.
The entire Oscar community seemed to have forgotten about these two films. Apart from being mentioned on the list of nominees, they never appeared again.
Only Nanaya and Nolan know this feeling.
After going through several awards, it was finally the turn of the Best Visual Effects Award.
There are only three nominees for this award - "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Dark Knight" and "Inferno".
On the stage, Will Smith, who was to serve as the award presenter, once again walked onto the stage. The famous black movie star had previously presented awards such as Best Sound Effects and Best Editing.
He once again won the Best Visual Effects Award.
Smith touched his very distinctive protruding ears, then looked at the big screen.
"The nominees for Best Visual Effects are Eric Barba for The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Nick Davis for The Dark Knight, and Ryougi Ori for Inferno."
When his name was called, Ori rolled his eyes and looked at Nanaya.
"Why me again?"
Nanaya shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Who told you to quit the position of visual director?"
In fact, the position of Origua Visual Director was suggested by Nanaya.
It's not that he wants his junior fellow apprentice to win more awards, but he simply thinks Ori's cold face is very suitable for scolding people.
Ori, nicknamed "Cold Beauty", really looks like a disciplinary dean when she is angry.
The aura of majesty without even getting angry is really intimidating.
In fact, Nanaya was in charge of the special effects from beginning to end.
However, the work of scolding and reprimanding was done by Ori, the special effects director, while Nanaya himself was the one who played the bad guy.
"Isn't this making you bear the stigma?" Nanaya said with a smile, "So giving you a nomination is a form of compensation."
Ori said with a mocking look: "Then should I say 'thank you, senior'?"
"You're welcome. You're welcome."
Nanaya's shameless attitude made Ori really want to take action.
It was a pity that Shion was between him and Nanaya, which prevented him from succeeding.
"Kiryu."
At this time, Nolan spoke up, "Who do you think will win this award?"
Nanaya answered without even thinking: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button."
"Why?"
Nolan was stunned for a moment. He originally thought that Nanaya would talk about his own movie.
[Because this is the one that won the award in my previous life.]
Nanaya muttered to himself, but he couldn't tell this reason to Nolan.
"Because this is the most Academy-friendly of the three films."
Nanaya said this with a bit of displeasure.
Originally, the candidates for the 81st Academy Award for Best Visual Effects were supposed to be "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", "The Dark Knight" and "Iron Man".
However, because of Nanaya, "Iron Man" was released two years earlier.
Then, because of Nanaya, his "Purgatory's Flame" replaced "Iron Man".
But this doesn't mean anything, after all, "Inferno" is not well received by Hollywood, just like "Iron Man".
Therefore, the result will naturally not surprise anyone——
"The winner is Ryougi Ori from "Purgatory Flame"."
"puff--!"
When Will Smith opened the letter and announced the winner, Nanaya almost burst into tears.
"WTK?"
Nanaya's first reaction was that Will Smith had misread the name.
But subsequent reactions from all parties proved that the other party was not wrong.
"Senior, we won the award again."
There was a burst of cheers at Washimine Entertainment. Ori first hugged Shion, and then high-fived Nanaya to celebrate.
"Yeah, I won a prize."
Although his invincible [intuition] failed, Nanaya was still very happy to win the prize.
Watching Ori stride onto the stage and take the golden trophy from Smith.
Nanaya still applauded his junior fellow apprentice.
"Didn't expect that?"
Nolan asked with a smile.
"I really didn't expect that." Nanaya agreed with him, "I really thought the academy would give the award to the other side."
"Perhaps this is what Eastern Buddhism means by 'no desires lead to strength'?"
Nanaya complained: "No, I think it's just for the sake of balance."
Winning the Best Visual Effects Award basically means that "Inferno" has said goodbye to the Best Original Screenplay award.
If possible, Nanaya would actually like to give up the Best Visual Effects award and win the Best Original Screenplay award.
Although screenwriters are not taken seriously, the screenplay award is a heavyweight award second only to Best Picture and Best Director, apart from acting awards.
On the other hand, Nanaya couldn't help but sigh that the academy's balance was really disgusting.
Including the Best Supporting Actor award which has not yet been announced, "Inferno" and "The Dark Knight" should be tied 2:2 in terms of awards.
But in terms of award quality, the Best Visual Effects Award is definitely not as prestigious as the Best Supporting Actor Award.
It also made Nanaya feel a little unwilling, but he couldn't say anything.
When Ori finished his acceptance speech and returned to his seat holding the golden man, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became solemn.
Because it's time to present the Best Supporting Actor award.
This is the award with the least suspense, because this award is earned with people's lives.
With the advantage of having already died, Heath Ledger won the Best Supporting Actor award without any suspense.
Although there are many different ways of Oscar public relations, Heath Ledger's is considered the most unconventional one.
In Seven Nights of Memory, if there is anything comparable to Heath Ledger's death PR, it would probably be Natalie Portman's pregnancy PR.
If Heath Ledger were still alive, it would be difficult for him to win the Best Supporting Actor award.
The superhero movie identity alone is enough to keep it out.
Most of the Oscar judges have deep-rooted discrimination against superhero movies.
But they can be very lenient with the living, but are extremely tolerant towards the dead.
Although Heath Ledger's winning the award was considered a leapfrog move, it also set a precedent.
Although other superhero movies will still suffer discrimination at the Oscars in the future, it will definitely be easier than before today.
The most obvious example is "Joker", which won the Best Actor Award at the 92nd Academy Awards.
If there hadn't been the precedent of Heath Ledger winning the Best Supporting Actor award, the Academy probably wouldn't have been able to give out this award.
After all, going from zero to one is the most difficult thing.
