Chapter 298 Oscar (Part 2)
Although Eric's expression was still a little nervous, he also comforted himself in his heart. Anyway, he was still young now, and it was not a good thing to win the award too early.
On the stage, after Jane Fonda introduced the nomination for the best original script, he looked around the audience slightly. Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Eric found that the woman's eyes were on him for a moment, but before Eric could make any confirmation, Jane Fonda lowered her head and opened the envelope, took out the card with the name of the winner and looked at it. The surprised expression flashed on her face, then she smiled and looked up at Eric again.
Eric was sure that this time was definitely not his illusion. If the look of the eyes just now might have been unintentional, then, this time, does it mean...
His heart beat rapidly a few times, and Eric clenched his fists again without realizing it, staring at Jane Fangda with bright eyes.
Jane Fonda seemed to feel the urging sentiment of everyone in the audience, and did not keep it a secret. She approached the microphone and said loudly: "The best original script that won the Oscar is "Far Crying the Island."
The most unlikely thing happened. Most people in the Los Angeles music hall are Hollywood characters who have been immersed in for a long time. When they heard this name, many people also showed a surprised expression.
Although he had already received a hint in advance, Eric still widened his eyes in disbelief, until someone around him stood up, and Eric stood up.
The applause immediately rang like thunder.
At the same time, a scene that surprised everyone in the awards hall also appeared.
As Eric got up, more people also got up, including all fireflies-related crews such as "Far Cry," Seattle Night, "Dark Battle", "Feng Moon Pretty" and other nominated crews. The number of people who got up involved in the five rows around Eric.
Although many people who stood up immediately realized that this was inappropriate, it was even more inappropriate to sit down. Therefore, they could only keep it intact.
After a simple hug with several neighbors, Eric could only shake hands with other people who stood up around him, and even some were too far away to touch his fingers.
Even so, it took nearly a minute before Eric could successfully get onto the stage.
At this time, many people's serious doubts, shock, helplessness and expressions in the audience turned into envy. A small award for Best Original Script can make such a big noise. Then, after today, no one dares to ignore Eric's status in Hollywood.
The award speech for this award was prepared in advance by Eric, so it was easier than when he won the best soundtrack more than an hour ago. Even while Eric was speaking the award speech, he also divided some of his thoughts on why he could win this award.
There is no doubt that this is the result of Oscars’ pork split.
Eric feels that he has made Oscar think too simple. With his current influence in Hollywood, if he still gets nothing when he gets two nominations at the same time, then the fairness of the Oscar will be questioned again.
Moreover, this time the doubts will definitely come from the media, but also from ordinary people. As for the reason, it is because of the incident some time ago, Eric has experienced a malicious suppression storm. If Oscar still lets him return empty-handed even though he won the two best script nominations, the public will inevitably have some bad associations again and are disappointed with Oscar.
As for why he didn't win the best adapted script award for "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", which is more likely to be the best original script award for "Far Crying the Island", then Eric understands that this is likely to be the result of a series of games behind it. Although he is very interested in a series of inside stories, Eric knows that he has not yet reached the level of being able to reach the internal game of the Oscars.
Thinking of this, he followed Jian Fangda and the award presenter all the way into the backstage. The staff came to take the little golden man who had no nameplate in Eric's hand and nailed the golden nameplate for him.
Next was awarded the Best Director Award, and "Smelling the Scent of the Scent" was nominated for Best Director. Therefore, Eric, who was waiting for the staff to snag the nameplate, was inevitably a little anxious. At this time, Jane Fangda, who presented the award for him, came over.
"Mr. Williams, congratulations," Jane Fonda stretched out her hand to Eric with a smile.
"Ms. Fangda, thank you for the tip you gave me just now." Although I was anxious, Eric still maintained good interests and flattered: "I have seen many of your movies, "Great Return" and "The King of Flower Street" are great, but my favorite is "Golden Pond". The family affection shown in the movie here is touching."
"Thank you for your love," Jane Fonda continued to smile, and then said, "Mr. Williams, you must have a celebration party next, are you?"
Eric looked slightly moved, and soon realized that this woman was not simply coming over to say hello to him. Although she didn't know the other party's purpose, it would definitely be beneficial to him to establish some friendship with the famous Hollywood performing family.
So Eric said without hesitation: "Yes, Ms. Fonda, if you have time, welcome to our celebration party after the ceremony, which is located on the third floor of the Beverly Hills Hotel."
"I'll go," Jane Fonda nodded. She knew Eric was also in a hurry to return to the hall, so she didn't say much and left quickly.
Despite this, when Eric returned to the awards hall, he was still disappointed to find that Oliver Stone, the director of "Born on July 4" on the stage, was talking about his acceptance speech, and Al Pacino, who was in the nearby crew of "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", gave him a helpless look when he saw Eric come back. As for Martin Brest, Eric did not see the other person's expression, but except for loss, Eric could not think of anything else.
Speaking of the movie "Born on July 4th", we have to talk about the tragic Tom Brother. Eric remembered after seeing this movie. Tom Cruise would have won the first Oscar nomination for Best Actor with his own movie.
Unfortunately, because of his appearance in "Dark War", Cruise missed the movie.
Originally, Fireflies and Cruise themselves tried to win the nomination for the best actor, but unfortunately they did not succeed. Although Tomco won the Best Actor nomination for the Best Actor in the Golden Globes for "Dark War", he failed to reach the Oscar. Therefore, when Eric met Cruise a few days ago, the other party never gave him any good face.
Cruise has received enough rewards for "Secret War". Therefore, although Eric is a little helpless about Cruise's failure to win the Oscar nomination for the male lead, he does not feel that he owes the other party anything. After all, Cruise's reward is much more than Hanks.
Thinking of this, Judy Foster, the winner of the previous Best Actress on stage, has begun to introduce the nomination for Best Actor. Listening to the introduction of the girl on stage, Eric suddenly thought that if "The Silence of the Lambs" could be produced and released last year, Judy Foster will likely win the Oscar for Best Actress again.
This has to be said to be a regret.
"The nominations for Best Actor are: Morgan Freeman, "Driving for Miss Daisy", Al Pacino, "Smelling the Scent of the Scent", Daniel Day Lewis, "My Left Foot", Kenneth Braner, "Henry V, God of War", Robin Williams, "Death Poetry Club."
Every time someone is introduced, a wonderful movie clip will appear on the big screen behind Judy Foster.
Eric looked at Al Pacino, whose waist was slightly tight not far away, and could also feel some of Al Pacino's feelings. Since 17 years ago, Al Pacino has been nominated for five Oscars, but all failed. With Al Acino's acting skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Oscar owes him a little golden man."
As for the original Oscar-Best Actor winner, Daniel Day Lewis, although the other party's acting skills are also very good, Daniel Day Lewis' disadvantages are also very obvious.
First of all, he is British, and this is certainly discriminated against by the Oscars, and there is no doubt.
Secondly, Daniel Day Lewis is only in his early thirties, but he has just reached the average age of the Oscar male lead, and he looks even younger than Al Pacino, who is already fifty years old.
Finally, Daniel Day Lewis cannot compete with Al Pacino, who has been struggling in Hollywood for almost twenty years, in terms of qualifications and connections.
The reason why Daniel Day Lewis won the award in his previous life was closely related to the fact that he happened to catch up with the Oscars in the Little Year. Although affected by the butterfly effect, Eric can still think of some clues from the current list. Most of the nominated movies in this year should be the same as in the previous life, but in the list of these nominated movies, except for "Born on July 4", which was originally famous for the appearance of Tom Cruise, other movies have no influence.
This time, things did not go beyond Eric's expectations. After Judy Foster opened the envelope, he quickly pronounced the name of Al Pacino.
