Chapter 587 Best Supporting Actress Got It Again

"But the problem is that no matter what deal they make, it is invalid. The decision is in the hands of the jury, isn't it?" It took only a few seconds for Rachel to give the answer, but even though she spoke in a calm tone , but the fleeting complex look before did not escape Angela's eyes.

"It's a pity, I thought I could sell it to a newspaper for a profit." Angela, who was a little confused, stared at her for a few seconds, then gave up teasing and tentatively shrugged her shoulders to change the subject.

But without her speaking again, another voice came over at this time: "Oh my god, if a few words from a competitor are considered a deal, then I dare not talk to you again, otherwise if you don't get the trophy, others will say I forced you to come out."

"This joke is not funny, John." Angela turned around and looked at the old man who came in front of her with some amusement.

"Not funny? Then what's the expression on your face?" John Williams spread his hands teasingly.

"That's because you made fun of me." Angela retorted, then opened her arms and hugged him lightly: "It's nice to see you here, John, how does it feel to be double-nominated? "

"Don't worry, I won't pose a threat to you. I have already won enough best soundtracks." The old man smiled and continued to tease, "I, an old man, can just decorate the front, and the awards are left to you young people to compete for. "

"It's not like what you said, John, everything has not yet been decided, and God knows what the final result will be." Angela shook her head with a smile, and then another voice came in: "That's true, it's not the end You don't know what the outcome will be. So, it's not impossible for me to beat you, right?"

"It sounds like you can't wait to show me some color, Peter?" Angela smiled and looked at Peter Jackson who came in front of her, still the same, with beards, wide glasses and unkempt hair.

"I'm just telling the truth, the one with the highest voice will definitely win the award. Most of the time, the movie behind it is the real winner." Peter made no secret of his pride.

No wonder he was so excited. The release of the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" not only won him the love of 90% of book fans, but also the vast majority of film critics are full of praise for the film, which can be said to be a double harvest of word of mouth and box office.And now it has won 12 Oscar nominations. Although it did not break the record of "Titanic", it can still be regarded as an amazing achievement.

It is said that there was originally a nomination for the best song, but due to some reasons or someone’s reason, the final nomination list did not include the best song, otherwise there should be 13 nominations for the first song of "Lord of the Rings".Even so, Peter is still proud of himself, so how could he be unhappy?

And although from the day when the Oscar nomination list was announced, the calls and rumors for "Brokeback Mountain" to win were far ahead of several other films.Even vehement opposition from conservative groups won't change that fact.But the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" has always followed closely behind, leaving the other movies far behind, so Peter stood in front of Angela with such a proud face——From this point of view, Fatty Peter still has a lot to offer. Strong machismo tendencies.

"I have to remind you, Peter, winning the best film for The Lord of the Rings is not the same as winning the best director." Although the proud Peter was not annoying, Angela still stabbed him slightly.

Peter was really startled, but then he waved his hand disapprovingly: "Then just wait and see."

Angela shook her head with a smile, and didn't argue with him too much. Seeing that Nicole had left and entered the theater, she said goodbye to John and the others, and went inside with Kate and Rachel.

"I have a hunch that you will win the Best Actress, Kate." Angela said swearingly as she walked.

"It's okay, it's great to be nominated." Kate said softly with a smile. Although her tone was very flat, Angela could still understand her unspoken affection.It's a pity that this is a public place, and there is Rachel by my side, so I can only return Kate with a smile.

Then, the girl suddenly noticed something, and glanced at Rachel.The latter immediately lowered his eyelids and pursed his lips, as if he hadn't done anything.Angela couldn't help frowning, she suddenly felt that this feeling was a little familiar, but no matter what, she couldn't figure out why it was familiar.This year, because of the cold war between Kate and herself, I didn't meet Rachel very much. Could it be earlier... Could it be!Angela suddenly trembled slightly, then shook her head in her heart.

No, it's not like that, and isn't there an understanding already?I must have thought too much, because the things to prepare after graduation have become a little paranoid.Angela comforted herself in her heart.

"It's still on time. I'll come out to look for you after a few more minutes." Meivis' voice sounded at this moment, and the female detective waited early as usual behind the gate of the theater.The only difference is that her long golden-brown head is placed behind her head, revealing a white and slender gooseneck. She is wearing a deep purple evening dress with split shoulders and a pair of slender and beautiful legs. Bi Lu, with that kind of temperament of a strong woman, is not inferior to any of the female stars present.

"Hey, I remember that in the arrangement, the time given was flexible." Angela said dissatisfied.

Meivis didn't say anything, and after greeting Kate and Rachel, she pointed to Angela and drew a circle around, then walked straight inside.

"Why are you, the female bodyguard, always like this?" Kate asked suddenly, she frowned slightly as she watched Meivis's leaving figure, pinching her fingers back and forth, not knowing what she was thinking.

"What's always like this?" Angela asked puzzled.

"Don't you think she's a little arrogant?" Kate's white teeth flicked across her lips.

"Confidence? Of course not, she's just used to it." Angela explained, and then her face became weird thinking about something.A few seconds later, she smiled wryly and sighed inwardly, then said in a low voice, "Mavis is actually an FBI agent, and she was sent here to protect me personally."

"FBI? Personal protection?" Two voices rang out at the same time. Both Kate and Rachel had expressions of surprise, because Angela had always claimed that Mavis was her personal bodyguard.

"Angie, what's going on?" Kate couldn't help asking.

"Well, it's a long story." Angela looked around at the crowd in twos and threes, "Let's go in first, and we can discuss it after the awards ceremony is over. Don't worry, it's nothing serious."

"Don't worry? How can you not worry!" Kate glanced around angrily and lowered her voice, "You have been hiding it for so long! Why didn't you tell me directly?"

"Because it's their request. Well, Kate, let's talk about it after the awards ceremony. Anyway, it's not a big deal—think about it, when did Mavis appear by my side?" Angela comforted Said, and then took the lead to walk into the venue.The girl still didn't forget to glance at Rachel, why did she yell when she didn't say a few words to her?

Two-thirds of the seats in the theater were filled, and the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" was arranged in the third and fourth rows, while the crew of "The Devil" and "Lord of the Rings" were all around, just like before. related to her.

"Hey, guys, how does it feel to walk the red carpet for the first time?" After sitting in her seat, Angela smiled and talked with Jack Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger and Michelle William who had already entered James and others greeted.

"Not bad, now I finally understand why people like to go to award shows."

"It's like a big party, if no one asks you then the questions are even better."

Both Ledger and Gyllenhill were quite relaxed. Obviously, they also realized that their chances of winning the award were very slim, so they didn't care much.Besides, being nominated is already quite an achievement, and it was precisely because of this nomination that Gyllenhill reunited with his family.However, while walking the red carpet, he was caught by reporters and asked a lot of embarrassing questions.And Ledger escaped a catastrophe because his relationship with Michelle was quickly exposed and he showed off his affection on the red carpet.

As for the other two, Sarah and Mina, they kept whispering.Although as soon as Angela glanced over, they immediately sat upright as if there was nothing wrong with each other, but the appearance of reconciliation couldn't be more obvious.So Angela also pretended not to see their deception.

"So far. Everything is normal, and I hope this normality can be maintained until the end of the ceremony." Meivis, who had entered the theater early, sat next to Angela at this time.

"I don't think there will be any abnormal situation. You and your colleagues are not the only ones responsible for the security work here." Angela shrugged disapprovingly.If she was still worried when Alan and Meivis came to the door at first, she has completely ignored it now more than a year later.

"So, your sister often looks at me strangely, is it abnormal?" Meivis turned her head and said calmly, while pointing her thumb to a certain seat in the row behind Angela.

"Sister?" The girl was stunned for a moment, turned her head and looked over before she realized it, and then smiled sarcastically: "I think it's because I told her your identity, that's why..."

Angela glanced at Meivis with a guilty conscience. She originally thought that she would have a good discussion with herself about the rule of "not disclosing the identity of the agent to anyone other than the family", but she didn't expect that she would just say " That’s how it is.” After that, he stopped talking.

Scratching her head inexplicably, Angela turned her head again to look at Kate not far away.The other party just happened to look over at this time, and they smiled slightly as they met each other.But when Kate lowered her head, Angela was stunned, because Liv, who was sitting two rows behind Kate with a difference of 4 seats, was watching herself with a complicated expression.

After realizing that Angela had noticed her, Liv turned her head away and did not come back.Angela didn't look too much, but when she sat on the seat and stared at the stage where no one was there, the feeling in her heart was indescribable.

As time passed, the awards ceremony was finally about to begin. First, Tom Cruise came out to make an opening speech—I don’t know what Nicole’s expression was like sitting below. It is said that they have hardly had any contact since their divorce, which is not a big deal stray from memory.

Then as the music sounded, the embarrassing host suddenly appeared on the stage, Whoopi Goldberg, it was her again!Angela still remembers the hosting style of the 71st Upper Ubinale.I changed 7 or 8 sets of clothes in one night, and one set was weirder than the other. If anyone knows what "stunning" means, they will definitely agree with Angela's statement.

Now she still hasn't changed her hosting style, wearing Nicole's glittering feather suit in "Moulin Rouge" and descending from the theater on a cable, singing songs from "Moulin Rouge" below At the same time, Nicole, who was sitting not far below, couldn't help laughing out loud.To be honest, if it was Nicole wearing this outfit, she would definitely be considered glamorous and sexy, but if it were Ubi...well, just think of it as a big turkey swinging.

Fortunately, at least Whoopi didn’t lose her sense of humor. After getting off the cable, she said “Be careful, please don’t break the feathers” and walked up to the stage with a swing, and then said, “Please don’t stare at me, I’m just here to tease you Happy" immediately made the whole theater roar with laughter.

It's okay, it's just a few hours.Angela said comfortingly to Zi Gong.Also, Whoopi's comedic talent is not bad, just think of it as coming to a party-Oscar is a gorgeous and grand party.

Best Supporting Actor is still awarded first, and the award presenter is naturally Kate, the winner of Best Supporting Actress last year.Speaking of which, Sir Ian McKellen's nomination for Best Supporting Actor should be the only performance award nomination in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.Of course, it is basically impossible to obtain.

As Angela "predicted", Jim Broadbent of the biographical film "The Long Road Will End" won this statuette, and the next one to be awarded is naturally Best Supporting Actress.

Although this is the second time that Angela has been nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and she was nominated for the role after several years of no work, she didn't take it too seriously.Frankly speaking, she hopes... Rachel can win this award-the other four nominations are Helen Miller and "Professor McGonagall" Maggie Smith, who were also nominated by "Gosford Manor". Marisa Tomei, who was nominated for "Bloody Love," and Rachel Weisz, who was nominated for "The Long Way Will End."

It's hard to say why Chu himself had this idea, anyway, it suddenly popped up when he was thinking about who might win the Best Supporting Actress.Angela twitched her mouth, well, I'm not familiar with Marisa Tomei, but Helen Miller and Professor McGonagall's acting skills are quite good, so it's not that Rachel wants to win Best Supporting Actress easy job.

It can be seen from this that Angela really didn't take her nomination seriously, so when Benicio on the stage read her name, the girl froze for several seconds before she realized it.Of course, her dazed appearance was also recorded by the camera, and many people later joked that she was "obviously shocked".

Whether she was shocked or unprepared, Angela took a deep breath and walked onto the stage with a smile.

"Congratulations, Miss Angela." Benicio smiled and handed the statuette to her hand, then stepped aside humbly.This playboy who claims to be able to have scandals as long as he touches women is now full of rules.

Angela smiled politely, and was about to speak to the audience when she suddenly didn't know what to say.In the tens of seconds she walked up from below, she could almost guess what it meant for her to win the Best Supporting Actress.

"Well, according to the usual practice, I should thank everyone once." Angela finally opened her mouth with a charming smile. No one can take their eyes off.

"However, since doing so is too time-consuming, I think it's better to read it in the form of a list. The list of thanks for this time is as follows: father, mother, judges, my manager Sparrow..." Angela said with incomparable He continued to read with a serious expression, and at the same time put the statuette on the stage and counted it with his fingers, and the audience burst into laughter in the theater.

She solemnly read all the crew members she could think of before stopping, and even this took two or three minutes: "Well, there are many people I can't remember all of a sudden, I'm sorry. If I wait a while If I can be on stage again. I'll try to remember."

There was another burst of laughter.

"Having said so many names that I want to thank, I only want to emphasize one thing. It is because of their help and cooperation in all aspects that I won the best supporting actress again after almost ten years. , thank them!" At this point, Angela on the stage raised the statuette and bowed slightly towards the venue, and warm applause burst out immediately.

"Good speech, congratulations on winning the Best Supporting Actress." After Angela returned to her seat, Mavis clapped her hands and raised her eyebrows: "It seems that you are not very happy ?”

"How do you know that I'm not happy anymore?" Angela, who kept smiling, retorted in a low voice while greeting the congratulators around her.

"From the corner of your cramp mouth." Meivis' tone was light but full of teasing.

Covertly gave her a supercilious look, Angela stopped talking.Of course, Mavis was right, she was really reluctant to take it.In addition to the inexplicable idea of ​​wanting Rachel to win the best supporting actress before, there is also what it means to win this award.Think about it, although her interpretation is very good, it has not reached the point where she can beat others by a few blocks.And she hasn't acted in a role for several years, and she was nominated and won an award just after she had a work... What does it mean?
