Chapter 732 - Chapter 723 The Beginning of Oscar Night

"Okay, the award ceremony is about to begin. Everyone can guess how many awards Madoka Magica will win this time."

What is displayed on the computer screen is the Penguin Video Studio, where the host is talking to the camera in his magnetic voice.

Because of the huge popularity of "Madoka Magica" in China, this year's Oscars received huge attention in China.

So naturally, various online media also broadcast the entire Oscar awards ceremony online to movie fans across the country.

Qin Jue and Jie Yu, who are very concerned about Kiryu Nanaya, naturally will not miss this Oscar.

The two girls who always like to sleep in got up early today just to watch the award ceremony in its entirety.

"Hey, Wasabi."

Qin Jue asked while eating the buns for breakfast.

"How many awards do you think Director Kiryu will win in the end?"

"It's best to get them all~"

Little Wasabi answered casually.

Compared to Qin Jue's enthusiasm for awards, Xiao Jie Mo simply wanted to know as much as possible about this great director.

She is planning for her future.

"I hope so, but I'm afraid it won't be that good."

Qin Jue turned his eyes away from the TV and began to look through the messages on his mobile phone.

Although there was no circle of friends for green software in 2010, forums and Weibo for instant sharing already existed.

Qin Jue used these real-time sharing platforms to watch other people's opinions on this year's Oscars.

Although everyone is optimistic about Nanaya Kiryu, it is obviously an impossible task to win all 14 nominations.

But everyone's spirits were high.

Especially Nanaya's die-hard fans have been flooding the screen with messages.

["Madoka" is the best in the world! !]

[14 nominations and 14 wins! Thanks!!]

["Madoka Magica" wins the championship! Headless Senior becomes the best actress! ]

Although Luvia didn't even get a nomination for Best Supporting Actress, she is extremely popular on online message boards.

It can be seen that the charm of the headless senior is really too great.

Qin Jue was relatively calm. She sent a message in an expectant tone.

[I hope Director Kiryu can win the Best Director Award!]

Of course, Qin Jue and the other two Nanaya fans were not the only ones paying attention to this live broadcast.

Asuna in Japan also watched the award ceremony at home with her boyfriend Kazuya and his follower Shiori Kaede.

William from North America also dragged his gay friend to watch in the staff dormitory of Washimine.

Even Emiya Kiritsugu was watching this live broadcast.

Of course, Kiritsugu was dragged to watch by his wife and daughter.

He himself would rather rush to America and make a few holes in Kiryu Nanaya's body.

Almost all of Nanaya Kiryu's fans around the world watched this world-renowned awards ceremony at the same time.

Fans are all aware that commercial genre film directors like Nanaya Kiryu have very few opportunities to gain recognition from the academic community.

This time, "Madoka Magica" rarely caters to the tastes of the academic community, and it may be Nanaya's only chance in recent years.

After all, everyone knows that Nanaya will return to the Fate series later.

It is harder than climbing to the sky for this commercial series to win an Oscar.

The same music sounded on countless screens, and everyone turned their attention to the screen in front of them.

The 82nd Academy Awards ceremony officially kicked off.

Perhaps because the ratings in the past few years have been so disastrous, this year's awards ceremony has obviously made some changes.

The hosts of this award ceremony are two very famous comedians in Europe and the United States, Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin.

In addition to being the leading actor in "Pink Panther", the former's nickname "White-headed Man" is known throughout Hollywood.

The latter character that everyone in China is more familiar with should be Tom Cruise's boss in the "Mission Impossible" series.

Yes, that's the one who died in Mission: Impossible 6.

However, the academy invited them to host the award ceremony, which was considered a bit of a gimmick.

Because these two actors happened to play opposite each other in the 2009 movie "Love is Complicated", and they were love rivals.

It feels like Downey and Benedict Cumberbatch are hosting the Oscars together, with a lot of fans and a lot of topics.

It can be seen that those old men in the academic school are not completely ignorant of how to create gimmicks and topics.

It's a pity that their brains are no longer functioning properly and they are too lazy to think.

And these two actors did not disappoint everyone's expectations. Both their comments on each other and their interactions with the guests were very lively and interesting.

For the sake of ratings, these two comedians, who are not young at all, have really tried their best.

After a talk show-like opening, the first award officially arrived - the Best Supporting Actor Award.

The award presenter was Penelope Cruz.

Looking at this beautiful Spanish actress, Nanaya who was sitting below couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Penelope Cruz rarely appears in commercial films. The role that impressed Nanaya the most about her should be the heroine in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4".

It's a pity that the actress was pregnant when filming "Pirates 4", which resulted in her graceful figure not being able to be well shown in front of the camera.

As a female-led drama, the Best Supporting Actor award naturally has nothing to do with "Madoka Magica".

Washimine Entertainment had previously suggested whether to give Nanaya a symbolic reward.

The result was naturally rejection by Nanaya.

Are you kidding?

My acting skills are at best just enough for commercial films, so I'd better forget about embarrassing myself in front of the academic community.

On this point, Nanaya is still very self-aware.

Because there was no intervention from Nanaya, this year's Best Supporting Actor award was still given to Christoph Waltz.

The other party's performance in "Inglourious Basterds" was wonderful.

Nanaya was particularly impressed by the scene of drinking milk.

Because this scene appears too many times in various spoof videos.

So even though Nanaya clapped gently along with the audience, he always had a strange smile on his face.

This left everyone around Nanaya confused.

In response, Nanaya could only sigh.

The loneliest thing in life is that you don't get my jokes.

"Yuyu, what's the next prize?"

Little Wasabi asked, yawning.

Quentin's R-rated movies are not her cup of tea, so the Best Supporting Actor award did not excite her.

Then she introduced the films nominated for Best Picture, and she also hadn't seen the two films she introduced.

She had seen the winner of the Best Animated Feature Film Award, Up, but this award really lacked surprises.

On the contrary, due to the aftereffects of getting up early, she felt a little sleepy.

Qin Jue replied cheerfully, "Best Original Screenplay Award, Madoka Magica is nominated for this award!"

"oh?"

This answer made the tiredness in Xiao Jie Mo's eyes disappear, and she immediately sat up straight.

Since it was about Madoka Magica, this gave Xiao Jie Mo some renewed spirit.

In the living room of a villa in Japan, Shiori Kaede asked while eating Miss Asuna's high-end snacks.

"The first prize, do you think we can win a good start?"

Asuna said with a serious face: "Of course it can be done. Think about the nominated films. Which one can surpass "Madoka Magica" in terms of the sophistication of the script?!"

Shiori Kaede thought about the nomination for this award and couldn't help but nodded slightly.

The gap between "Madoka Magica" and the other films nominated at the same time is too obvious.

The story of "The Hurt Locker" is good, but the movie as a whole is too fragmented, making it difficult to bring out the characteristics of the script.

The script of "Inglourious Basterds" is too ridiculous. The Academy was willing to give it a nomination because Quentin wrote the story very cleverly.

"Up" is indeed a strong rival, but it is difficult for it to stand out as an animated film.

Although she is not an insider in the Hollywood industry, Shiori Kaede, who has always been paying attention to the film industry, naturally knows a lot of the unspoken rules of the Oscars.

On the TV screen, Robert Downey Jr. walked onto the stage as the award presenter. He would present the first award related to "Madoka Magica".

Looking at Iron Man slowly walking up to the podium on the screen, Illya asked her father.

"Hey, Kiritsugu. Which movie do you think will win this award?"

"The Hurt Locker!"

Kiritsugu answered without hesitation.

The reason was simple, he didn't want to see that kid Nanaya being proud.

But he still explained: "The script of "The Hurt Locker" is more realistic and more in line with American tastes."

"And the unrealistic themes of Madoka Magica are not popular among academics."

Mrs. Iris sighed and said, "Is it difficult for you to honestly admit that Nanaya-chan is amazing? I hope you won't faint this time like you did last year."

"…"

Kiritsugu did not answer, but his face, which already looked like he had kidney failure, became even gloomier.

Robert Downey Jr. on TV has come to the microphone, ready to announce the winner of the award.

Illya and Iris let Kiritsugu go and focused on watching the TV screen.

"Script work is the cornerstone of a film, and for original films, the script is even more important."

After finishing the routine lines, Robert Downey Jr. said in conjunction with the screen on the stage: "The nominees for Best Original Screenplay are Mark Boal for The Hurt Locker, Quentin Tarantino for Inglourious Basterds, Gen Urobuchi for Madoka Magica, the Coen brothers for A Serious Man, and Thomas McCarthy for Up..."

When the nomination list was read out, everyone in the "Madoka Magica" crew sat up straight.

Although only Urobuchi was nominated, as a crew they also shared in the honors won by the film.

Under everyone's expectation, Donny opened the envelope.

He glanced down and a look of delight appeared on his face.

This expression actually revealed who would win the award.

So Downey didn't keep anyone in suspense and said directly, "The Oscar winner is... Gen Urobuchi from Madoka Magica!"
