On March 31, the Oscars were postponed for one day due to the shooting incident at T&T.
Because of the 3-hour time difference from Los Angeles, viewers in New York can only watch the live broadcast at 9 p.m.
However, Aunt Karen and Donna still waited in front of the TV early to watch the ABC live broadcast.
A drumbeat sounded, "Friends in the audience, here is the live broadcast of the 53rd Oscar Awards broadcast for you by ABC TV. We are outside the Dorothy Chandler Hall. The stars are shining tonight.
Fans have been waiting outside for their idols since this morning..."
The opening music started, and it was a shot of the stars entering the show earlier. Every time a star appears, the host will announce the introduction. If it is nominated this year, the name of the nominated award and film will also be added.
"Where is Ronnie? Did I miss it?" Aunt Karen was a little anxious because she hadn't seen the footage of her relatives yet.
"This is edited from earlier footage. Ronnie is not an actor or a big-name director. The audience doesn't know him. It's probably not available here. It will have to wait until he is nominated." Donna, who knew a little better, set up the video recorder. After that, I sat back on the sofa and ate potato chips.
"It turns out that stars can appear in advance. This is my first time watching the Oscar broadcast." My aunt was sitting on the sofa, taking a sip of black tea.
She suddenly thought, "Will Diane appear on the scene? She is not going to be the female companion of any celebrity."
"Timothy Hutton, he got a Best Supporting Actor nomination for 'Ordinary People', he should be there." Donna didn't tell her mother that Hutton had a conflict with her cousin Ronnie, this kind of conflict between stars Karen didn't quite understand. Ronald had told her not to worry her aunt.
"Here are the Best Supporting Actor nominations for 'Ordinary People'..." the network's background commentary said.
"Is that him? So old?" Aunt Karen asked her daughter.
"It's not him. This is another Best Supporting Actor nominee for 'Ordinary People', who plays a psychiatrist." Donna flipped through the nomination list on the daily variety show.
"This is, this is Hutton." After a few seconds, Donna pointed at the TV and said.
"This is 'Just Ordinary's' Best Supporting Actor nominee Timothy Hutton, and with him is... um, let's look at the handsome Hutton."
The person who appeared on the TV screen below was Timothy Hutton. He was really handsome, with blue eyes and a good-natured look, which was very useful to people of Aunt Karen's age.
"Is that Diane next to you?"
Donna wasn't too sure, so she stood up and walked to the TV to see carefully, "It seems to be her. There is a small scar at the corner of her eye. Why doesn't the TV show a close-up of her from the front? It's blurry from such a distance." .”
ABC gave Hutton about ten seconds of entrance footage, but the frame strangely did not put Diane Lane's face in the same frame as Hutton. Only Hutton's female companion could be seen, a woman wearing a white coat and skirt, with a white lace hood on her head.
Finally, the camera flashed the woman's profile several times, and Donna was sure that it was Diane.
With everything on the screen, the host continued to announce: "Here are the singer and the beautiful Diana Ross, who played the leading role in 'The Wizard of Oz' the year before last, and the handsome Michael Jackson. Their careers in the music industry are more successful."
"It's not easy to appear on the Oscars." Aunt Karen lamented.
"No, that's not right. All the celebrities in the past have taken photos of their male and female companions." Donna didn't know why.
Time went back to two hours ago.
Diane, along with her father Bert, joined Timothy Hutton at the Dorothy Chandler Concert Hall where the Oscars were held. Today they will walk across the camera as each other's male and female companions.
A large number of guests gathered at the drop-off area opposite the concert hall, walked across the road in pairs, and entered the awards hall.
Diane Lane wore an all-white dress today, which fully demonstrated the purity and beauty of the little girl. A white dress, a white jacket on the upper body, a white bag, and white sandals on her feet.
She took Timothy Hutton's arm and looked up. Hutton was a man of refined character and good looks. He didn't know why he had a conflict with Ronald. Diane thought there might be some misunderstanding between the two.
While waiting, Diane wanted to know more about this male companion. So I tentatively asked Hutton about his next movie plans, whether he would make a sequel to 'Grease' as rumored.
"I haven't announced it publicly yet, but I'm going to do 'Lights Out.' The 'Grease' sequel is really not a good script. The writer is terrible."
Diane thought that there was indeed a deep conflict between the two, but Hutton seemed very personable, so she further probed, "I saw that Ronald, the screenwriter of the Grease sequel, was also nominated for an Oscar for best screenwriter."
"Hey, what's the matter with you? Say something nice to that bastard?" Hutton raised his hand impatiently, broke away from Diane's arm, and asked, "Last time at Jane Fonda's party, you Just being with him, what’s your relationship?”
Diane frowned, this man's temper was not as good as shown on the screen.
"I know his cousin's family and are very good friends."
"A bunch of mothers @#$%!" Hutton swore obscenities and cursed Ronald and his family.
"Hi, their family is my friend." Diane got angry and asked him not to insult his friends.
Timothy Hutton sneered, "I will definitely win the Best Supporting Actor. The actor in 'Ordinary People' who was also nominated for the Best Supporting Actor has long given up on public relations to compete for the award. Paramount has decided to guarantee me the award. You Think about it, who should you rely on in Hollywood? A star or a screenwriter?
If you don't want to join me on the catwalk, Elizabeth McGovern is over there. It's not too late to change now. You can go find that Ronald. Oh, I forgot, the screenwriter didn't have a show in front of the camera... hahaha. "
Diane felt very uncomfortable. She adjusted her white hood and politely took Hutton's arm. It is very difficult for your own agent to find this opportunity, so it is not very appropriate to fall out on the spot.
She and Donna have a good friendship, and Ronald has helped her many times. Therefore, I feel very disgusted with this male star who is dirty inside. It showed in his body language, keeping a long distance from Hutton when walking past the camera.
The on-site cameraman also knew that Hutton was the first important award to be awarded tonight, and the favorite for Best Supporting Actor, so he zoomed in to a close-up view and gave Hutton many close-ups of his face. Suddenly, Diane's face was framed outside the viewfinder.
"Strange, how come this actress is so far away from Hutton and doesn't steal the shot?" The cameraman muttered in his heart, zoomed out further, and added a blurry shot of Diane at the end.
Ronald entered the awards hall earlier than Diane. I saw my teacher, best director candidate Marty Scorsese, from a distance. Marty was surrounded by four FBI agents to protect him and no one else could get close.
Ronald called "Marty." Scorsese shrugged at him, indicating that he couldn't help it. Ronald waved to him and his wife, Isabella, and wished him good luck. Find a seat in the back row and sit down.
Next to them were Roger and Julie Coleman, and there were three more empty seats.
"Where are the cultural attaché and his wife from the embassy?" Ronald asked Coleman.
"He hasn't arrived yet. He just called and said that only one person may be able to attend. The Soviet Union has some strange rules for officials to attend capitalist occasions."
"Hey, if I had said it earlier, I could have sold the seat." Ronald thought, and Coleman must have felt regretful about this.
After a long time, the hall was filled with celebrities one after another. The lights dimmed and the music played.
A beam of light shines on the stage, and tonight's host appears in front of everyone, Johnny Carson.
Ronald and everyone started applauding at the signal of the staff.
"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all.
I'm sure you all heard why our awards show was postponed 24 hours. The organizers of ABC TV station and the college believed that it was not convenient to hold a celebration when the situation was unstable last night.
Today's news is very pleasing. The T&T is doing very well, has started working at the hospital and signed a bill..."
Ronald looked around as everyone started clapping again, this time spontaneously from the audience. The new commander-in-chief was quite popular among the people, and many people were sincerely happy to hear that he was safe and sound.
Next to him, Mr. Cultural Counselor of the Soviet Union Embassy, who came alone later, also politely clapped twice.
"As a former member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the President recorded a speech for this Oscar. Two hours ago, the White House specifically confirmed to us that the President asked us to play this speech of his.
In addition, he insisted on a television set in the hospital room so that he and the first lady could watch the Oscars broadcast. "
The audience applauded again. This kind of movie-style hero's behavior of not caring about pain is very suitable for American tastes.
Johnny Carson continued, "In fact, the commander-in-chief is recovering so well that I almost couldn't help but call him and ask if he could lend me a few of his jokes to use at the awards show..."
"Hahaha..." the audience laughed. The cultural attaché obviously understood the humor, and the corners of his mouth turned up.
The figure of the commander began to appear on the big screen on the stage.
“Good evening ladies and gentlemen.
Like Nancy, I am very interested in the Oscars being announced tonight...
Movies are the spirit of America...
Thank you to all the film's directors, actors, technicians, distributors, and audiences...
Movies live forever. My own (poor) performances have been immortalized in certain films, and as former Academy members, Nancy and I invite you to attend tonight's awards show. "
"Your commander-in-chief's real acting skills are better than those on the screen." Mr. Cultural Counselor applauded and said to Ronald in English with a Russian accent.
