It was really a pure accident that Rin won the Oscar for Best Actress.
Because there was no prior preparation, all the crew members of "Madoka Magica" were stunned when Sean Penn read out Rin's name.
It was not until the entire Kodak Cinema erupted in thunderous applause that Nanaya and the others came back to their senses.
"Congratulations, Rin!"
Nanaya was the first crew member to applaud.
After seeing Nanaya clapping, the others also reacted and congratulated Rin.
Rin herself opened her mouth in disbelief, as if she was stunned.
This award is truly a pleasant surprise.
When everyone present, including Rin herself, thought that there was no chance of winning this award.
The little golden man suddenly appeared beside her, and this feeling really made her very surprised and delighted.
Because the overall reaction of Madoka Magica was a little slow, Rin didn't have time to share the joy of winning the award with everyone after she came to her senses.
She simply hugged Nanaya, Shion, Kyon and the others, and high-fived the other crew members one by one, as a simple celebration.
Then Rin trotted onto the stage and took the golden statue from Sean Penn.
Rin stood in front of the microphone and said loudly: "Thank you, thank you academy, thank you to everyone in the crew! And..."
She suddenly stretched out a finger and pointed to where Nanaya was: "I also want to thank someone, he is right there! Nanaya, you are not only my senior and director. You are also the one who illuminates my life path!"
"You've really helped me so much. Without you, I wouldn't be who I am today. Although I can't explain it all, I will always remember this moment in my heart!"
Then, Rin held up the little golden man: "I feel like I have touched all my life's dreams! Father, I finally did it!!"
There was a round of applause, and Lin quickly retreated to the backstage.
Despite not having strong enough competitors, the Japanese actress Tohsaka Rin unexpectedly won an Oscar for Best Actress.
This is indeed a shocking upset, but when you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem that strange.
After all, the candidates this time are all of the same quality, and no one is much better than the other in acting skills.
The Oscar organizing committee gave "Madoka Magica" a chance to sweep the awards, and it's really hard for others to say anything.
Watching Tohsaka Rin holding the golden statue and walking into the backstage of the Kodak Theater, Lily in the audience felt a little unwilling.
Tohsaka Rin has won the Best Actress award, so when will she be able to see that little golden man?
It's obvious that I was more valued by my brother-in-law back then!
Some people were shaking their heads.
They seem to think that the Oscars are becoming less and less reliable. Even Tohsaka Rin can win the Best Actress award, and the award rules are becoming more and more confusing.
Actually, there is nothing difficult to understand. After all, it is not that Rin is so outstanding that people have to choose her.
It's because everyone's levels are not much different, and in this case the academy simply did a favor.
Of course, the college's generosity is not without its benefits.
The strong performance of "Madoka Magica" directly boosted the ratings of the award ceremony.
By the time Rin left the stage, the show's viewership had risen to 45 million.
This data is the most intuitive reflection of the status of "Madoka Magica" in the minds of the audience.
Seeing Rin's figure disappear at the backstage entrance, Shiori Kaede quickly lowered his head to look at his mobile phone.
After waiting for more than ten seconds, he refreshed the 2CH forum.
As expected, the entire forum exploded.
[Rin NB! ! ! ]
[The goddess finally became a movie queen! ! ! ]
[Is this the deification of Madoka? ! (laughs)]
Of course, in addition to the messages congratulating Rin on the award, there were also many analyses of what will happen next with Madoka Magica.
[This is the eighth little golden man! ]
[No. 8 Middle School! There are only two left!]
[What a pity! If Madoka Magica had won one more award, it would have broken the record of Titanic.]
[The most important awards are the director and film. If Madoka Magica wins these two awards, it will really become a hit overnight!!]
The award ceremony was nearing its end at this point, and "Madoka Magica" won 8 Oscars out of 12 nominations, becoming the undisputed winner of the night.
Everyone is eagerly waiting for the announcement of the final two grand prizes.
I waited for 4 hours just for this moment.
Nanaya himself is also very much looking forward to the final result.
After all, not winning the Best Director and Best Picture awards would still be a pity even if he took home eight Oscars.
However, judging by the trophy won by "Madoka Magica", there was basically no suspense about the Best Picture award.
The biggest question now is the Best Director award.
Fortunately, Nanaya is not attending the Oscars ten years later, otherwise Cameron's ex-wife's gender advantage would be too great.
Although the other party was the winner of the Best Director Award in her previous life, she is also the first female director to win an Oscar.
For the old men in the academy, creating the first case is the most difficult thing.
In addition, before "Madoka Magica", "The Lord of the Rings 3" had already swept the Oscars with its non-realistic themes.
Therefore, there is no difficulty for "Madoka Magica" to win the award as an exception.
At this moment, Nanaya's biggest enemy is whether his past resume will hinder him from winning the award.
After all, as he comes from a commercial film background, it is easy for him to be prejudiced by old men.
"The award ceremony has begun!"
Ryan held Nanaya's hand tightly and seemed very nervous.
Ori, who was sitting on the other side of Nanaya, also had a serious expression on his face.
He knew his senior very well that this was almost his only chance to win the Oscar for Best Director.
Because after this, Nanaya will probably never make a movie that suits the judges' tastes so well again.
On the other side, in the director's room of ABC TV, the staff were also cheering.
Oscar ratings have been rising ever since the four major awards began to be presented.
After all, compared to other small prizes, the four major prizes are the ones that attract attention in everyone's minds.
According to statistics, the North American audience reached its peak tonight when the Best Actress award was presented - 46.26 million people!
This has to do with Tohsaka Rin's personal appeal.
Because of Nanaya, thanks to the two Fate and other movies, Rin's popularity in North America may not be as high as that of super A-level actors like Lily, but she is definitely one of the most popular ones.
With her current influence, she can naturally attract a large number of audiences at this critical moment of impacting the Oscars.
However, that number didn't last long when host Steve Martin announced the start of the Best Director awards.
The Oscars' North American viewership exceeded 50 million in less than half a minute!
And it shows an upward trend!
This result is the best result except for the Oscars for "Titanic".
On various instant sharing platforms, there was a quietness that had never been seen tonight.
It's not because everyone is stopping watching TV and preparing to go to bed.
Instead, everyone focused all their attention on the live broadcast of the Oscars, leaving no time to share their feelings.
In the student dormitory, Qin Jue nervously hugged her good friend.
Because if she didn't do that she would break her fingers.
Illya's family also stared at the TV, their eyes motionless.
Shiori Kaede clasped his hands together, as if silently praying for his favorite director and his favorite movie.
Countless fans of Nanaya Kiryu all over the world put down their Fat Otaku Happy Water, Fat Otaku Happy Buckets, and various Fat Otaku Happy Snacks.
They waited quietly, waiting for the final celebration moment to arrive!
On the stage of the Kodak Theater, Samuel Jackson walked onto the stage to the music played by the symphony orchestra.
Although the director's head is still as shiny as before, his smile is still as friendly as before.
But this famous black actor couldn't attract anyone's attention.
At this moment, even if the person going on stage to present the award is the stunningly handsome Tom Cruise, he can only serve as a background board.
What's more, Director Fury's popularity is far from that of Tom Cruise.
Under the gaze of countless people, the director walked to the microphone.
"The nominees for the Best Director this year are very interesting. There are white people, black people and even Asian people. This has never happened in the Oscars before."
Samuel L. Jackson said in his characteristic voice: "Among them are Oscar regulars and newcomers who are nominated for the first time."
"The works they produced are diverse, with some depicting the cruelty of real wars, others showing alien wonders, and even some telling stories of friendship and perseverance."
"Even though there are men and women among them, they all showed everyone their great talent for making movies!"
"The nominees for Best Director are..."
Accompanied by the images on the big screen, Samuel Jackson began to introduce the list of nominees one by one.
"Kathryn Bigelow – The Hurt Locker; James Cameron – Avatar; Lee Daniels – True Love; Nanaya Kiryu – Madoka Magica; Quentin Tarantino – Inglourious Basterds."
Then the director opened the envelope without even looking up, "The best director is... Nanaya Kiryu for Madoka Magica!"
Accompanied by the music of "Magia", tsunami-like cheers once again rang out in the Kodak Theater.
But unlike others who were very emotional, Nanaya seemed somewhat calm.
In fact, when the award presenter was not Barbra Streisand as he remembered, Nanaya had already vaguely guessed the result.
According to the Academy's usual practice, the Best Director award presenter is usually someone related to the winner.
So in Nanaya's previous life, the Best Director award presenter would have been a woman.
It is for this reason that the award presenter is usually kept secret.
No one will know until the last moment.
But as long as this person stands on the stage, many well-informed people will guess the winner the moment before the envelope is opened.
But the Academy is also very cunning in choosing award presenters.
Samuel L. Jackson's identity is very confusing.
His black background makes people subconsciously think of Lee Daniels, but he has a good personal relationship with Quentin, and he is currently filming a movie for Marvel under Washimine.
However, Nanaya thought it was himself when Samuel appeared.
Because he doesn't think the other two can surpass him. Quentin's directing skills are good, but his movies are too niche.
Moreover, this ruffian is even less welcomed by the academy than Nanaya himself.
Now it seems that Nanaya found that he was not wrong.
