Recently, the 42nd Academy Awards were held in Hong Kong as scheduled.
After watching the red carpet and award ceremony, Mr. Tomato felt that the red carpet guests had too many flaws in their looks, the award list was controversial, and the glory of the Academy Awards was gone forever.
1. How much do you know about the weird red carpet looks
If Mr. Tomato were asked to use three adjectives to summarize this red carpet look, it should be: demon, ordinary, earthy .
Let’s take a look at the glamorous group first. The female stars shortlisted in this group are too eager to compete for beauty, but they have lost the reserve of female stars and seem to be a bit cheap.
The representatives of this group are Lin Mingchen and Stephy Tang .
Lin Mingzhen was clearly prepared for this look. The white lace gauze skirt presented the ultimate temptation, and the neckline was directly designed with a hollow design to expose the bra.
This body is actually pretty good-looking, but it is ruined by her enchanting and deliberate posture.
From the moment he walked on the red carpet, Lin Mingzhen seemed to have a spinal disease. His back was crazily pulled back and his hips were pushed forward, just to highlight his S-shaped curve.
This look is so concave, Mr. Tomato is really afraid that she will have to go to the doctor to fix her bones after walking on the red carpet!
The overly deliberate manner made the whole person's temperament look very frivolous, and the originally beautiful skirt also became tainted with a sense of frivolity.
When the camera zoomed in and saw her expression of love, Mr. Tomato was dissuaded by her oily face makeup.
Stephy Tang’s appearance is elegant and her makeup is very clean, but what’s going on with this skirt!
Nudity can also be divided into high-level and low-level, and Stephy Teng’s skirt obviously belongs to the latter.
The dual use of lace and polka dots goes too far, giving people a sense of frivolity. The design on the chest also looks like a bikini, which is not suitable for the grand Academy Awards ceremony.
The expressions of the two beauties are not well managed, giving people the feeling of posing for the camera.
The following two female celebrities also make people feel "demon".
Both of them entered the venue with Huang Zihua on their arms, but this arm-in-arm posture gave people a sense of attachment and a strong sense of internet celebrity. But in fact, the person on the right wearing a white dress was the finalist for Best Actress that night.
The correct posture for a female star to hold the arm of a male star while walking on the red carpet can be referred to Zhang Xiaofei a few days ago. Holding one arm will make her more aura and evenly matched with the male guests, rather than just like a female companion on the background.
Let’s take a look at the ordinary and earthy looks on the red carpet. They are full of flaws.
First of all, this golden dress has too many flaws to describe.
The whole skirt has no pattern at all. It feels like you just randomly pulled a piece of fabric and tied it around your neck. Looking at the thumbnail, it looks more like wearing a napkin while eating.
Moreover, this skirt does not reveal your neck at all when you put it on, making you look very clumsy.
There are two actresses below who are wearing hip-hugging skirts. The skirts obviously don’t fit well, and they have a tight-fitting feeling, making them look very strong.
Moreover, there is also a problem with the pattern of the skirt. The actress in the white skirt even wears it to show her 50-50 figure.
But in fact, this actress named Verosa has a very good figure. Her usual dressing style is like this, noble and elegant.
The style of the female star below is full of studio style. Whether it is the hairstyle or the style and texture of the skirt, it is not as good-looking as ordinary people's wedding photos.
And this one, didn’t she suddenly walk on the red carpet while shopping? This sleeveless dress is too ordinary.
This person’s big oily head is also unflattering, and the knotted hair in front of his forehead looks like he hasn’t washed his hair for half a month.
Xie Anqi originally wanted to have a retro hairstyle, but it turned out to be a mistake. Not only her hair was knotted into a wicker shape, but her bangs were also cracked, and the whole hairstyle looked a little sloppy.
Sammi Cheng 's makeup is not good-looking either. Her blond hair and yellowish foundation make her look particularly haggard under the warm light.
Even Carina Lau and contributed weird looks.
When she walked on the red carpet, she wore a silver tube top dress. The skirt was very elegant and the bow at the waist was very classy.
But who can tell me what the designer of the quilt on her shoulders thought! Because of the existence of this ball of quilt, the whole shape looks slightly bulky.
What is even more confusing is the necklace Carina Lau wore when she was the guest of honor.
I guess Carina Lau is also paying attention to the changes in gold prices, so she specially wears a big golden wave dragon to show off her wealth?
Key point: This look also appeared in the old movie "Dances with Dragons". It was a weird look used to make the audience laugh. Does this mean that extreme vulgarity is the tide?
There are also some male celebrities who have overturned their styles.
Xu Guanghan From a distance, he looks like a handsome guy. He wears a black suit and a slicked back hair. He exudes a cold and abstinent air. The redbud brooch on his chest matches perfectly.
It turns out that the handsome guy looks sloppy and greasy up close. Who is praising this hair style that is so oily that it can even cook!
Although there were a lot of weird looks at the awards ceremony, fortunately, there were also many female stars who still maintained their aesthetic bottom line, and there were also many eye-catching looks. Let’s take a look at the normal looks to wash your eyes.
2. Wash your eyes with some good-looking looks
Fortunately, there were two female stars on the red carpet that night who kept the aesthetic bottom line, namely the new actress Yu Xiangning , and the familiar Lin Xilei .
This newly minted actress of the Academy Awards was determined to win the award before the award was announced. She specially chose a golden dress that looked very good at winning the award. The same color dress that Sister Shitou wore when she was competing for the Oscars.
Yu Xiangning looks really good in this dress. The halter neck design reveals her beautiful collarbone and shoulder lines. She looks particularly fair and beautiful. Hong Kong entertainment has not seen such a beautiful woman for many years. Actor.
The cut of the skirt is also very snug. After wearing it, the body curve is smooth and the height is particularly highlighted, making it look like a supermodel.
Paired with a neat updo, this look is very in line with the new actress’s grand and decent temperament. When
went on stage to receive the award, Yu Xiangning changed into a dress and still chose dark gold. This metallic dress is really suitable for big occasions.
Lin Xilei was also the goddess-level beauty that people couldn't take their eyes off on the red carpet that night.
She walked on the red carpet wearing a one-shoulder black velvet tight dress, with black gauze sleeves on her arms, showing a clear layer of black.
In order to get rid of the dullness of black, Xilei Lin chose to use the sparkle of large jewelry to balance it. She wore super large diamond flower jewelry on her ears and fingers respectively, which instantly brightened up the overall look.
Although Lin Xilei dressed like a cold goddess, her attitude was very friendly. She actively cooperated with everyone's photo requests on the red carpet and even bent down to look at the camera.
Wu Kangren was the most handsome actor that night, and his white suit looked particularly refreshing.
Sammo Hung is old and pretty, wearing a smoky pink coat, which matches the lady's peach pink dress very well, like a couple's outfit.
Aaron Kwok also attended the awards ceremony. He is a man with blond hair who is still at the forefront of fashion.
But in the close-up, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are obvious, and the king is also old.
Louis Koo and Anita Yuen served as the presenters of the Best Actor award. In order to reflect the grandeur, both of them wore black dresses. Goo Jai was still very handsome.
This year’s Academy Awards also welcomed an international friend, the Japanese director Kore-eda Hirokazu .
Hirokazu Kore-eda wore a black suit and tie. Although he is an international leader, he is not domineering and has an approachable temperament.
Qian Jiale was the most gorgeously dressed male star on the red carpet that night. He wore a royal blue suit with dark patterns, which was quite eye-catching on the red carpet.
Dapeng was also shortlisted for Best Actor this year. He couldn't hide his happiness on the red carpet, and even performed a cheering jump for the media to take pictures, which was quite hilarious.
3. The awards moment was more joyful
Whether it was the presenter or the award recipients, many of them were old people who had been in the entertainment industry for decades, so the atmosphere of the award ceremony that night was very relaxed, more like a gathering of old friends, and everyone was harmonious. Enjoyable.
When David Jiang took the stage to receive the Best Supporting Actor Award, he joked that he did not expect that the Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor that he and his eldest brother Qin Pei won were all for movies directed or produced by his younger brother Er Dongsheng .
Er Dongsheng, who was cueed, changed his mature and steady image and waved to his second brother with a smile on his face in the audience. It was obvious that he was sincerely happy for his second brother to win the award.
Louis Koo acted as the presenter of the award that night and was suspected to be a temporary rescuer for Lau Ching Wan, because when the award presenter came on stage, the music playing in the background was "New Love" starring Liu Qingyun and Anita Yuen. The opening speech also said that Liu Ching Wan and Anita Yuen were invited. As a result, It was Louis Koo who came out.
Louis Koo reported to the audience that Lau Ching Wan was sick and he came to take over, asking everyone to think of him as Lau Ching Wan. As a result, Anita Yuen was very cooperative and kept shouting "Ching Wan~" to Goo Jai. The interaction between the two made everyone laugh.
Before the lottery draw, the two people playfully asked the five Best Actor candidates to react to not winning.
Several others responded by politely applauding and blessing the winner. Only Huang Zihua had the most sense of humor. He immediately stood up and left. He felt full of variety and made the audience laugh.
The final best actor honor was won by Tony Leung . This is also the sixth time that Tony Leung has won the Academy Award for Best Actor .
Being crowned emperor six times also made Tony Leung very happy. As a taciturn person, he couldn't help but deliver a long acceptance speech. It was really rare to see Tony Leung say so many words.
4. Controversy over fly in the ointment
Although the award ceremony was lively, there were also some fly in the ointment.
After watching the entire event, Mr. Tomato’s first feeling was that the Hong Kong entertainment industry has stagnated.
The five actresses shortlisted for Best Actress this year:
Many people have never heard of these five names, and many people have not seen their works. It shows that Hong Kong films are becoming niche. Golden Statue The regional nature of the awards is also becoming more and more obvious.
The biggest winner of the awards ceremony, "Goldfinger" really started the Goldfinger mode and won six awards in a row, including Best Actor and Best Photography.
However, this result is not convincing to the public, because the film's reputation is not high, with a Douban score of only 6.1. Many people say that a film of such quality can win so many awards, which means that Hong Kong films have exhausted their talent.
In fact, the root cause of these controversies is that the vitality of Hong Kong movies has become increasingly low in recent years.
In the past, Hong Kong films were full of flowers and Hong Kong stars were shining brightly. However, today’s Hong Kong films are resting on their laurels, with single themes and lack of innovation.
Actors are also in decline. The male actors are still supported by the older generation, while the familiar faces of the actresses have retired one after another, and the new faces are no longer recognized.
Change in Hong Kong films is imminent. The first step is to innovate and find scripts that are more up-to-date and attractive. Then we must focus on expanding the market. We should not limit Hong Kong films to one-third of an acre of Hong Kong, but also take into account the vast mainland market.
If the Academy Awards are good, Hong Kong films must be good. If the Academy Awards are strong, Hong Kong films must be strong.
