Chapter 297: Oscar (middle)
I have been patiently waiting for the applause to stop, Billy Christo said: "So, Hollywood is a place full of dreams, whether it is less than 20 years old, or more than 80 years old, as long as you really have Talent, if you work hard, you will definitely be sure."
A burst of applause rang again, and many people turned their eyes to Eric. There is no doubt that Billy Cristo’s sentence is 'not less than twenty years old', referring to Eric. The camera's lens also turned to Eric on the side of the public.
Eric quietly slaps his palms, his mouth hangs a faint smile, and he responds.
Billy Christo finished the word, please come up with another group of guests, and immediately left the stage.
After several insignificant awards, another Hollywood legend, Jane Fonda, was on the stage, and Eric sat involuntarily, because the next two awards were for this Oscar. The two most important awards, although Eric directed four films this year, Firefly also declared the best director for the two films "Fengyue Beauty" and "Dark War", but they were not nominated.
Therefore, Eric's two best screenplay awards for "The Sound of the Isles" and "Smell the Woman" became the two most important nominations for his Oscar.
Jane Fonda and Morgan Freeman, who were born in the family of performing arts, are quite old, but look like they are in their forties in the outer appearance. The black slim long dress makes the actress faintly reveal the younger few. Divided into charm.
"This year is undoubtedly a year of great harvest in Hollywood. Not only has the local box office exceeded $5 billion for the first time, but there have also been more outstanding movies than in previous years. No matter what is a good movie, Can't leave a good script, the script is the basis of a movie. So let's take a look at the film that was nominated for the best adaptation of the Oscar script." Jane Fonda said, slightly sideways. After gesturing to the big screen, I continued to read: "The best nominated script is nominated for "Driving for Miss Daisy." Alfred Ahri; "The Enemy, A Story of Love", Roger Simon; "Fantasy Come True", Phil Alden Robinson, "My Left Foot", Jim Sheridan, "Smell the Woman," Eric Williams."
On the big screen, there are five shots of nominated candidates. Eric’s eyes looked at the stage without hesitation. Although he repeatedly wanted to show a look of nothing, in this situation, in this tense atmosphere, Eric’s hand on his knee Still can't help but clenched into a fist. Although the best adapted script and the best original script are compared with the last four awards, the attention is still not very high, but compared with the technical awards of the best soundtrack that were not important before. The gold content of the award is much higher.
After Jane Fangda introduced the nominee, he did not let the audience wait for too long, and quickly opened the envelope in his hand. After looking at it, I approached the microphone. "The best adaptation of Oscar's script is: "Driving for Miss Daisy."
In the loud applause, Eric’s heart jumped awkwardly, and there was a strong sense of discomfort in his heart. Among the best screen nominations, "Smell the Woman" is the one that is most likely to win the award. After all, everyone knows that the horror film theme is not worthy of Oscar's favor, although I also thought about filing "Seattle Night Sleep". Or the best original script of "Wind Beauty", after all, love movies are more pleasing than horror movies, but after considering it again and again. Eric decided to declare the best original script for "The Sound of the Isles" and gave up "Seattle Night Sleep" and "Wind Moon Beauty".
after all. The possibility of a love movie getting the best original script is very low, and "Small Island Cry" is a horror film. But this script is undoubtedly much more exciting than the traditional horror film, and the possibility of winning the prize is higher than the other two love movies, although Oscar will not prohibit Eric from filing the other two love movies together. And the possibility of getting a nomination is not small, but in that case, only the number of votes will be diluted, and the possibility of winning several scripts will be very low.
But Eric now finds that he is ignoring another fact.
Whether it is the best original script or the best adaptation of the script, the voting is a member of the writers' union. Therefore, he has the right to play the screenwriter after winning the best script nomination at the same time with "Scent of the Woman" and "Small Island". Although he will consider that he has won two nominations, it is too inappropriate for all his nominations to be lost, and at least one of the two films will be voted. However, Eric can also be sure that most of the screenwriters will not vote for the two scripts at the same time, but will only choose one of the two scripts, "Smell the Woman" and "Small Island".
This also means that although the best original script and the best adapted script are two different awards, the votes for the two awards are still shared.
Then, the result is no doubt, if the members of the writers' union are selected one by one, the "smell-smelling woman" with higher artistic achievement will definitely receive more votes than "Small Island", then, even if it is even smelling "Woman" did not win the award, then the next "Small Island" is even more hopeless.
The bottom of my heart sighed, and Eric shook his head slightly, quickly condensing his expression and turning his eyes to the stage.
After the best adaptation of the script, Jane Fonda did not step down the stage, but continued to introduce the nomination list of the best original script: "The Oscar-winning original script is nominated: "Death Poetry Society", Tom. Shulman; "Sin and Wrong", Woody Allen; "Sex, Lies and Videotapes", Steven Soderberg; "The Islet Cry", Eric Williams; "When Ha Lee meets Sally, Nora Aphron."
Eric’s face once again appeared on the screen in the center of the stage. Even though many people on the scene could see him on the stage, many people turned their attention to the place where Eric was sitting.
Undoubtedly, these people must have realized the situation of Eric now. As for whether anyone is gloating, it is unclear.
Eric turned a blind eye to other insignificant eyes, but in several episodes related to himself around him, he turned his attention to the gaze and nodded his head and made a peace of mind. (To be continued)
