The opening stage of the Academy Awards began.
Was it a band?
A solo singer?
A group?
The people who were looking at the stage with anticipation saw a man walking out alone.
Who was he?
His face was unfamiliar, but the instrunt he held was familiar.
So recognized him and whispered.
In an instant, the identity of the man was revealed to the audience.
Hey! Its Jason!
Jun! Did you know?
No, I didnt!
The opening of the Academy Awards was Jason Moore.
Jason Moore, who appeared on the stage with a Stradivarius violin, played Over the Rainbow and received a thunderous applause.
He was different from Gray Bynie, but Jason Moores performance was not lacking.
He was called a genius.
Seo-jun and the children also clapped enthusiastically.
[Yes. The opening stage is Jason Moore, who was in charge of the violin supervision for Over the Rainbow! He supervised the movie with his teacher, Professor Benjamin Morton.]
[Professor Benjamin Morton composed the OST Over the Rainbow.]
[I didnt expect to hear a classical performance at the movie awards, but its a really fitting opening stage for this years Academy Awards.]
The Academy Awards began with a splendid violin performance.
[Over the Rainbow wins Music Award!]
[Over the Rainbow wins Sound Editing Award!]
[Over the Rainbow wins The Song Award!]
Every ti a na was called, the comntators and moviegoers applauded.
In no ti, Over the Rainbow swept all the music-related awards.
[The Circle, starring Milan Chellen, wins Screenplay Award!]
[The Circle, starring Milan Chellen, wins Director Award!]
[Over the Rainbow wins Best Picture Award!]
Director Sara Roth did not win the Director Award. The director of The Circle went up to the stage to receive it.
While sending congratulations to the director of The Circle, Seo-jun and the children felt sorry.
But Director Sara Roth smiled cheerfully.
Ill get it next ti.
The children laughed at her confident appearance.
The black director who went up to the stage burst into tears.
He spoke his gratitude while crying.
Due to the nature of live broadcasting, he didnt have much ti to speak.
He couldnt use up all his ti because of his tears.
He finished his list of nas that ca out like a machine gun.
A loud cheer and applause sounded, and the director went down from the stage with a mixed expression of tears and laughter.
Soon, the congratulatory stage began.
Director Sara Roth opened her mouth as she clapped.
But Im still a bit disappointed.
Why?
This years awards are special.
Sara Roth looked around the award hall. The children also looked around.
The faces of the people sitting were bright.
Its so special that they removed the filter of race. To be judged only by skill, how dreamlike is that. Everyone must think so.
Factors other than skill make people deny it.
If they dont understand it, they beco dissatisfied, and even those who watch the awards beco puzzled.
But this year was different.
Maybe not everyone, but most understood the results.
Director Sara Roth also admired The Circle as she watched it.
I might not get it.
She thought so, and it happened.
Maybe if this years awards werent special, Director Sara Roth, who was white, would have gotten it.
I dont like that either.
Director Sara Roth smiled.
Maybe this years winners are happier than other tis. Because they really got recognized for their outstanding skills.
Youre amazing too, Director!
Catherine said. Seo-jun and Paul nodded their heads.
Everyone loves our movie so much!
You probably lost by only a few votes to The Circles director.
The actors who were sitting nearby smiled warmly at the sight of the children comforting themselves.
The congratulatory stage ended, and it was ti for the actors to receive their awards.
The attention of Koreans turned to OCM. Not only high school students who were studying at school despite winter vacation, but also office workers who were working hard and people who went out.
Everyone listened to radios and televisions.
[Now we have awards for actors. First is Best Supporting Actress.]
Along with Park Young-jins words, five faces appeared on the screen.
Jessica Kim and two black actors, two white actors.
[Among the five candidates, Jessica Kim and Delsie Roti are strong.]
[As a Korean, I want Jessica Kim to win, but Delsie Roti has a higher chance of winning.]
[She was a very charming supporting actress. Delsie Roti!]
[Jessica Kim was not inferior either. I think it might have been decided by a few votes.]
Yang Si-eun and moviegoers added their comnts.
[And The Oscar goes to!]
The MC shouted loudly. Jessica Kim and her friends who were watching through television, and the viewers in Korea held their breath.
[Delsie Roti!]
Along with the MCs words, the cara that was showing the five candidates focused on one person.
It was a black actress.
Delsie Roti, who was wearing a dress that sparkled like the Milky Way in the night sky, got up from her seat, not knowing what to do.
The other four supporting actress nominees, including Jessica Kim, sincerely congratulated her.
[With Delsie Rotis win, there are now a total of 10 black actresses who have won the Best Supporting Actress award in the history of the Academy Awards. Out of more than 90 ceremonies, only 10 black winners!]
[And only one Asian winner, so its bitter.]
[Thats the reality.]
Yang Si-eun said. Everyone focused on the movie critics words.
[Despite this reality, please praise the two actors who made it to the nomination, our actors!]
[Delsie Roti wins Best Supporting Actress!]
[Jessica Kim narrowly misses the award!]
[The nomination is enough! Comnts of support for Jessica Kim!]
-Delsie Roti did well
-Its been a long ti since a black actress won, right?
-I wish Jessica Kim had won!
-Its great that a black actress and an Asian actress were strong candidates, not white actresses
The Best Supporting Actor award went to a white actor, and the Best Actress award went to a black actress.
The black actress who was nad burst into tears.
It was a series of surprises.
The excitent of the award hall seed to be transmitted.
[This is the second ti that a black actress has won the Best Actress award!]
[Out of more than 90 Best Actress winners, there are two black actresses and one Asian actress.]
Before she knew it, she stopped crying and went down from the stage after giving her speech.
[Well, now its our turn to wait.]
Park Young-jin said with a beaming smile.
[Maybe this could be a new history, or maybe there could be an unexpected twist.]
[I dont think an unexpected twist would be very good.]
Even Yang Si-eun, who said that, and the moviegoers, and the viewers who were watching them, couldnt hide their excitent.
Half of the wonder of watching a historic scene live, and half of the joy of being Korean, the sa as the protagonist of the historic scene.
They held their pounding hearts and turned their eyes to the television.
It was ti to announce the Best Actor award.
The faces of five actors appeared one by one on the screen behind the stage.
Three white actors and Milan Chellens face appeared.
A huge applause erupted.
Finally, Lee Seo-juns face appeared. Cheers and shouts ca like waves.
The MC opened his mouth.
[Its an honor to be able to announce the winner at such a wonderful ceremony. The footage of todays ceremony will last for a long ti! Please give a big cheer and applause!]
The MCs words were followed by an even louder cheer than before.
[If you ask to choose the most amazing year of the Academy Awards, it would be this year, and if you ask to choose the most fair year, it would be this year. And this year, if you ask to choose the most brilliant actor, it would be this actor.]
Catherine and Paul felt Seo-jun holding their hands tightly.
It wasnt the nervous tremor of the Golden Globe.
It was because they were so happy that they couldnt bear the thrill that ca from their toes.
Seo-jun felt the sa way.
He hoped that his na would co out of the MCs mouth.
He hoped that cheers would erupt from the audience and from those who were watching on television at the sa ti.
His heart was pounding.
It was a pleasant tremor.
There are many jobs that require recognition from others, but actors are more so.
If they dont get any attention from anyone, they eventually wither away.
He knew that very well as First Life and Seo-jun.
He learned the joy and happiness of receiving recognition and cheers from others.
It took a long ti to get that happiness in both hands. He didnt want to lose it.
His mom and dad in the audience seats, his brother Da-ho.
His grandparents, uncle and aunt, Soo-bin, Eun-soo, friends, teachers, directors, writers, Ji-seok hyung, Do-hoon hyung, Uncle Jong-ho in Korea.
Charles in France, Grace in New York. And countless fans.
He wanted to be recognized by everyone.
That he was such a shining actor.
A star.
Im doing well.
The glittering trophy in sight was one of the proofs.
[And The Oscar goes to]
The award hall beca quiet.
Everyone knew it.
But they waited for the MC to open his mouth.
Sowhere in the award hall, a violin lody flowed out.
It was Brilliant, which had played at the Golden Globe win.
Those who heard the violin performance realized who won, but Seo-jun noticed sothing more than that.
This is live.
It was a vivid performance by Jason Moore.
He must be playing behind the stage right now.
There were many emotions in the beautiful violin lody, but there was one emotion that was especially clear.
Seo-jun received Jason Moores ssage through the violin performance.
Congratulations.
He teared up at the congratulatory song.
He had only expressed his gratitude and thanks to the people while filming the movie, but he received congratulations with a violin performance.
He felt overwheld by the emotion, and thought that the moviegoers must have felt the sa way.
His eyes slowly reddened, while the MC who had been hesitating shouted loudly.
[Lee Seo-jun!]
A very loud cheer sounded.
The students and teachers who were watching on television for the Best Actor award, as well as the office workers who had gathered to watch on laptops, and the people who were having lunch while watching. The fans of Seo-jun all over the world who were watching live regardless of ti difference. They all scread.
In the midst of such a huge celebration, Seo-jun got up from his seat.
This ti, he didnt hesitate to get up. He accepted the pounding of his heart with joy, and Seo-jun went up to the stage.
He received the heavy Academy trophy, the Oscar, with both hands from the MC.
As Seo-jun stood in front of the microphone with the Oscar trophy, a roar of cheers erupted.
It seed like he could feel the cheers across the cara.
He savored all the congratulations with his whole body and smiled brightly.
With the aura that radiated from his body, Lee Seo-jun shone brilliantly.
Hello. Im Lee Seo-jun.
The first words of the acceptance speech of Lee Seo-jun, the actor who would go down in history as the first Korean winner, began in Korean.
Im very happy to receive the Best Actor award. This award is not only for , but also for Gray Bynie and all the Grays in the world. Im really happy to be able to give dreams, hopes, and happiness to everyone with my acting. Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart.
Seo-jun took a light breath.
The audience and viewers realized it.
The person who was standing on the stage had changed.
Even though he had the sa hairstyle, the sa outfit, the sa appearance, he had changed.
Anyone could tell,
I would like to sincerely thank everyone who supported .
He was Gray Bynie.
Once again, they were amazed and applauded by his perfect on and off.
So even shed tears as they rembered Gray from Over the Rainbow.
Seeing that, Park Young-jin and Yang Si-eun reddened their eyes and opened their mouths.
[Amazing! I never thought I would hear Korean on that stage!]
[Best Actor award! Congratulations from the bottom of my heart. Actor Lee Seo-jun!]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun and Grays acceptance speech, I will never forget this scene in my life!]
The moviegoers who had been more imrsed than them after going on a world tour also sobbed and said.
[Actor Lee Seo-jun, Academy Awards Best Actor award!]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun, youngest and first Korean Best Actor winner!]
[Actor Lee Seo-jun holding the Oscar trophy!]
