The elegant James Franco strode onto the stage, stood in front of the microphone, showing a charming smile, and was definitely a handsome guy.

"The five actors who compete for the best supporting actress have different voices and styles, but four of them are selected for the Oscar for the first time, and they all have indelible talents."

James Franco turned slightly, looked at the big screen behind him, and said, "The shortlisted for Best Supporting Actresses are: Begenice Bejo's "Artist", Jessica Chastain's "Help", Octavia Spencer's "Help", Melissa McCarthy's "Brismaids", Margot Robbie's "Diego Ross".

Murphy looked at Margot Robbie in a blink of an eye. She was holding Gal Gadot's hand tightly, looking very nervous.

For an actress born after the 1990s, if she can win a Best Supporting Actress Award at this age, her career will inevitably take a big step forward.

Originally, Murphy was not optimistic about Margot Robbie's award at all, but the college asked James Franko to present the award instead of the one who won the best supporting actor in the last session. There must be a reason. Could it be due to the winner?

"The Oscar winner is..." James Franco opened the envelope and read out the answer directly, "Octavia Spencer "Help"!"

The theater was quiet for a second, and then there was a burst of warm applause.

Margot Robbie breathed out, because she had been mentally prepared before, and was not particularly disappointed, and applauded with Gal Gadot next to her.

Seeing the award-winning older black female heading to the stage, Murphy could only sigh inwardly, Oscars are still so politically correct, always respecting and loving the elderly so much.

If you read that right, Octavia Spencer is the oldest among all the nominations for Best Supporting Actress. Think about the nickname for Best Supporting Actress Award. Isn’t she the winner the most?

The Oscars’ Best Supporting Actor and Female Award is also known as the Older Consolation Award!

Octavia Spencer is old enough to be a black man…

The crew of "Diego Ross" seemed to be possessed by bad luck, and in the next few awards, they lost both of them to "Hugo" directed by Martin Scorsese.

Then came to the award for Best Original Script.

Angelina Jolie stood on the stage and announced loudly, "The one who won the best original script is... Michael Hazanavicius' "Artist"!"

As soon as the result came out, the crew of "Artist" was thunderous. They had won the Best Soundtrack and Best Sound Effect Editing before. With the award for this Best Original Screenplay, the number of small gold men taken away reached three!

Murphy noticed that Harvey Weinstein looked here again. After all, he was nominated for the best original script for "Diego Ross". Now he directly overwhelmed him in this award. The big Jewish fat man's eyes were obviously a little proud.

However, compared to the people around him, Murphy seemed very calm. He directly met Harvey Weinstein's gaze, without fear or concession. Even if he lost this class, he could make a comeback later. Even if he was old, he could endure Harvey Weinstein to death!

Harvey Weinstein took the initiative to look away. He had no need to compare his eyes with a loser. Now the ratio of the "Artist" crew to the Little Golden Man in "Diego Ross" is three to one. Apart from winning an award at the beginning, Murphy Stanton has no performance and has lost three nominations.

"It seems that the Academy is ready to let him run away again," Bob Weinstein whispered, "so throw it to the crew of Diego Ross as a comfort."

Harvey Weinstein pointed his big head, "This is very likely."

The award ceremony is still going on, and many people are complaining in the discussion area on the Internet. On the one hand, they are dissatisfied with Murphy's crew not winning the award again. On the other hand, the award ceremony has become the old tone of the past, which is a bit boring.

"After the first fifteen minutes, except for Billy Christo's joke, it was so boring."

"It's political correctness and comforting the elderly. Are you mistaken? This is the most important film award in Hollywood, not the Association for Respecting and Love the Elderly!"

"The college says change every year, but it's always the same thing when it changes. He changes his ways to get nostalgic. Who still remembers those old movies!"

Seeing this, Daisy thought about it and wrote in the discussion area, "There is another reason. The films that were nominated are too strange, "Hugo", "Descendants", "Tree of Life", "Artist"... How many movies have you seen?"

It attracted a lot of responses later.

"I haven't seen any of them, so I'm not interested in the awards."

"I've watched "The Later generations", but I left the show before I finished watching it. It's so boring."

"Yes, I've watched it, and it's slower than Diego Ross."

Daisy analyzed to these people, "You have never seen a movie, and don't think these movies are so good. Naturally, they will be bored if they win or not."

If it weren't for Murphy, she wouldn't have stayed here to watch the Oscars.

In the Dolby Theater, awards were awarded one after another, and films such as "Descendants", "Girl with Dragon Tattoo", and "Midnight Paris" all gained something, but the Oscars' ratings were constantly declining.

It is undeniable that apart from jokes, Oscars like nostalgia the most, which is consistent with the appetites of the core members of the academy. Every Oscar ceremony is always full of nostalgic plots for a long time.

For viewers who are not too old, this nostalgic plot always tastes like chewing wax.

Nelson Statistics has been monitoring the ratings of this year's Oscars. When Sean Connery stepped onto the stage and the large screen and TV scenes turned to black and white, when the awards ceremony was once again nostalgic, a person in charge of Nelson's company kept reporting the number of viewers.

"The number of viewers in North America has dropped from 35 million just now to 31 million..."

After a minute, the program that misses the Golden Age is still playing for a long time, and the person in charge reported again, "It's 29 million now!"

Every minute, he will report the number of viewers once. The number of people proves that it is really not very popular in the old period. It can be called a killer of ratings. "28 million, 27 million, 26.5 million, 26 million, and 26 million, which is about to break through the lowest number of Oscars in the past decade!"

Fortunately, the show that missed the Golden Age ended after more than five minutes, and the subsequent Best Supporting Actor slowly increased the ratings.

The college is obviously not stupid either. It is clear that the audience does not like this type of program, so it specially arranged to use the award for Best Supporting Actor to save the venue. At the same time, this also shows the college's stubborn and conservative side. Even though it is known that nostalgia is not popular, it still stubbornly put this type of program in the award ceremony, which took more than five minutes.

The moment when the gray-haired Christopher Plummer won the best supporting actor Little Golden Man with "Beginners", which most people have never heard of, the number of viewers at the Oscars finally returned to more than 30 million.

This can be said to be a very serious situation facing the Oscars since the new century. With the increase in information flow and entertainment methods, the ratings of award ceremony have continued to decline, and even hit new lows since the 1970s.

In fact, it is not difficult to save the ratings of the Oscars. Choosing a movie with a wider audience will easily solve this problem. For example, since the 1990s, the highest ratings were the 70th Academy Awards Ceremony, and "Titanic" easily supported the ratings of the entire awards ceremony.

It is just that what the academy has made, and for the vast majority of the time, it runs contrary to ordinary audiences.

Although a best supporting actor dragged the number of viewers back to more than 30 million, it was unable to take it to a higher level. The task of saving the Oscar ratings is by no means something like "Beginner" that may not have the number of viewers to a million.

In terms of the number of viewers and box office, although Diego Ross' box office in North America is less than 60 million US dollars, it is enough to outlook all the movies that won the Best Picture nomination.

After the next advertising time, the person in charge of Nelson was surprised to find that the ratings of the award ceremony did not decline, but began to rise, and even faintly approached the 35 million mark!

"The next award is the best editing," his deputy reminded, "Murphy Stanton was nominated!"

The person in charge suddenly woke up, "No wonder the ratings are rising. It turns out that the best young director in Hollywood's 21st century may be about to win an award!"

In the Dolby Theater, Murphy saw his own person on the stage again, and Seth Logan walked to the microphone with a swaying move.

"The famous Hollywood director Ridley Scott once said that the collaboration between a film editor and a director is like a marriage."

The Stanton Party members seemed to have learned some of Murphy's qualities. Seth Logan did not say anything nonsense and directly spoke the word "speaking of the organizer, "Just like they were experiencing marriage, they shrank in the dark hut without windows, sharing takeaways and enjoying other people's movies."

He obviously made a little joke, and laughter rang out from the stage.

I have to say that this fat man looks honest, but his talent that creates funny is indeed unique.

After a little joke, Seth Logan took the initiative to let him go and looked at the big screen and said, "There are people who won the best editing nomination..."

On the big screen, the clip of the nominated video began to be played, "Michael Hazanavicius "The Artist."

After hearing this name, Murphy remembered that "Artist" was like himself, both directors and editors.

The voices on the stage continue, "Selma Squinmaker "Hugo", Murphy Stanton "Diego Ross"..."
