The annual Academy Awards has come to an end again, but I believe that many viewers might not have known that the 42nd Academy Awards had already been held if they had not seen the list of winners.
This year's Hong Kong Academy Awards did not have enough star power but were full of controversies. The situation on the scene was one after another. I did not expect that an Academy Awards party would show the plight of Hong Kong movies so vividly.
. There were no stars on the red carpet, and Yang Ying went to support it.
In the past, half of the Chinese film industry could attend the red carpet of the Hong Kong Film Awards, but the only big-name female stars this year are Carina Lau, and Lin Xilei, who has only come back after taking a break from acting for many years. And the one with the biggest star is Yang Ying. Where have all the well-known female stars in the Hong Kong film industry gone?
The male celebrities are not much better. Among the best actor nominees, Tony Leung Chiu-wai did not come, Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua were less popular, and Lu Zhenye's reputation has not increased. Only Dapeng is the most familiar to mainland audiences.
And people like Wu Kangren, Xu Guanghan, and Feng Delun also feel that they are still far from "Bright Star".
. The venue of the party was small and crowded like a movie theater.
The infield was full of stars. It turned out that Louis Koo, Anita Yuen, Aaron Kwok, and Sammi Cheng were all here, and they were just here to present awards. It was a pity not to see them walking on the red carpet.
But except for the awarding time, they seemed not to appear in the audience. Only Aaron Kwok was still sitting in the front row.
There are not enough seats in the infield, so they don’t sit in the audience? It is really possible. Chairman Er Dongsheng personally admitted that the seats were very tight. There were many people sitting upstairs, and many people did not have tickets.
You will understand when you look at the infield. The place is really small. The seats under the stage are about the same size as a movie theater. The stage looks dark and crowded. How can you just stand up two microphones and award the award?
Although the 40th edition looks simple, the venue is a bit bigger at least. It seems that the previously splendid infield of the Academy Awards can no longer be seen.
. Young actors make a show of giving awards
There were also a lot of jokes during the awarding process. When two young actors were presenting the award for best action design, they played with a lightsaber, which made me go numb with embarrassment.
It doesn’t matter if the action looks good, isn’t this just a joke?
Not only that, because the winner did not come, the two actors helped to receive the award, but this greasy and exaggerated and cool action really hurt my eyes.
. Dapeng mispronounced the award and cleverly made up for it
Dapeng, who was nominated for Best Actor for the first time, came to present the award this time, but the scene was really a bit embarrassing. Because I felt that I had no chance, I could give an acceptance speech if I came to it, but this burden did not matter, and Dapeng could only laugh to himself.
Dapeng wiped the floor, no, it was to show respect for the Academy Awards. At this moment, the audience burst into applause.
But he never expected that Dapeng would pronounce the supporting actress as the heroine. Fortunately, he thought quickly and quickly said "the best heroine in the future."
. The live broadcast process was poor and various advertisements were made.
During the award ceremony, many people complained about the poor process of the entire party. The announcement was rushed and the acceptance speeches of Sammo Hung and Tony Leung were also interrupted.
When Best New Director Zhuo Yiqian mentioned Er Dongsheng in his acceptance speech, Er Dongsheng reminded him to pay attention to the time and finish his words quickly.
Then Er Dongsheng turned around and went to advertise. When Yang Ying and Feng Delun were going through the process, both of them were very embarrassed. Feng Delun held the phone and could not speak clearly. Yang Ying looked at Feng Delun and covered her mouth with laughter.
The two of them worked hard to complete the process. Er Dongsheng ran to his seat in a panic, holding an advertisement in his hand. I was so embarrassed.
6. Best Actress Sparks Controversy
As the most eye-catching Best Actress and Best Actress at every award ceremony, this time she both stirred up controversy.
Yu Xiangning, who won the title of Best Actress, although her acting skills and fame are not very good, she is already the best among the nominees. Chung Xueying, Xie Anqi are all musicians who changed careers, and Wei Shiya and Wang Danni are not very good in their works. Considered the protagonist.
Yu Xiangning, whose acting skills in "Under the Sun" were mediocre, missed out on the Best Actress award this year because she couldn't beat any of her opponents.
7. Tony Leung’s sixth Best Actor win was denied, and Wang Jing’s moral abduction
But compared to Yu Xiangning’s Best Actress, Tony Leung’s sixth Best Actor win was even more controversial.
Among the nominations for this year's Best Actor, except for Tony Leung, the other four are nominated for the first time. Lin Baoyi and Huang Zihua's acting skills are explosive, and the calls for Best Actor are loud.
When netizens from both places saw that the best actor was given to Tony Leung in "Goldfinger", they really didn't understand.
Even Carina Lau would have guessed that the audience would definitely talk about Tony Leung when they saw him winning the award again, but Carina Lau's explanation was that Tony Leung was a great actor.
This also has the feeling of ranking based on seniority. Compared with other Tony Leung Chiu-wai, his seniority is indeed higher. He has not been nominated for an Academy Award for ten years, but he won the award based on his mediocre acting skills in "Goldfinger", which is somewhat disappointing. Not suitable.
Wang Jing also posted a "moral kidnapping" blog, saying that if he were Tony Leung, he would imitate Alan Tam and Leslie Cheung would not accept the award again and give the opportunity to the younger generation.
But Wong Jing’s statement caused a stir. Many netizens felt that although Tony Leung’s winning of Best Actor was controversial, Tony Leung was needed more in the Academy Awards. Some people felt that Wong Jing had too many things to do.
8. The Hong Kong film industry is in a recession
From the two awards of Best Actress and Best Actor, we can see that the Hong Kong film industry is in a recession. There are no successors for actresses, and actors who perform well cannot win awards.
As for awards such as Supporting Actress, New Actor and New Director, no one is paying attention to them. How many of these new actors and new works do you know?
Two well-received films, "Under the Sun" and "Diary of a Young Man," received many nominations, but did not win a few awards. Instead, the generally recognized bad film "Goldfinger" won six awards. Is this the fault of young filmmakers? Work hard, or is the Academy Award too respectful?
Everyone knows that Hong Kong movies did not decline because of this party, but this award ceremony was still very heartbreaking to watch.
