Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 333 Washing Utensils and Cup Utensils

"It's a great honor to present the award for Best Actress, so let's see which five women are nominated." With the voice of the award presenter Robin Williams, the wide screen on the left displayed five candidates in sequence People.

"Brenda Bryce, Secrets and Lies; Frances McDormand, Fargo; Nicole Kidman, Island; Kristin Scott Thomas, British The Patient; Rachel Weisz, Titanic!"

Applause, every time a lady's name is read, everyone will applaud. It is already an honor to be nominated.The ladies on the screen seemed to be suppressing their excitement and anxiety. Even though Angela had analyzed the possibility of winning in detail, Rachel still clenched her hands involuntarily.

In fact, it's not just her, the girl herself can't help being a little nervous, even though she vaguely remembers that Frances McDormand won the best actress because of "The English Patient", but the envelope has not been opened, who can't tell Knowing that, after all, many things have changed, God knows who the judges of the Film Academy will award this award to.

"The winner of Best Actress is - Frances McDormand! Fargo!"

Angela immediately breathed a sigh of relief and applauded like everyone else. The girl was somewhat thankful that this matter was not affected by butterflies. Of course, I can only say sorry for "The English Patient", the last one has a high chance The awards are also slipping away, so unless the film academy judges want to deliberately play on everyone's feelings, best director and best film must be in the bag of "Titanic".

Taking advantage of Francis' speech, the girl turned her head to see where Nicole was. She didn't know whether she was disappointed or sad, but it was not easy to find someone in a hall with thousands of people, and she didn't Knowing the seat of the other party, the girl had no choice but to give up after a few glances.

She only thought of comforting Rachel beside her after looking away, but she applauded and applauded with a calm smile.

"It seems that you are not very disappointed." Angela asked in a low voice with some curiosity, Rachel was a little too calm.

"Since I have been mentally prepared, the blow of disappointment will not be too great, will it?" The other party spread his hands needlessly.

"As expected of a Cambridge graduate, this kind of mentality is very good. I believe you will get the statuette sooner or later." Angela felt a little emotional, "Leonardo should learn from you, even if he is not nominated, he should attend the awards ceremony. It's not good to be young and frivolous."

Rachel burst out laughing: "Young and frivolous? Don't you think you are a little old-fashioned when you say this?"

"Really?" The girl pursed her lips, pretending to be helpless: "I can't help it, people always rely on the old to sell the old when they are old."

That mischievous look required Rachel to cover her mouth so as not to laugh out loud, and she calmed down after a while, seeing an inexplicable look in Angela's eyes, then shook her head: "Okay, don't say Well, thank you for your blessing."

Naturally, the best director was awarded next. Just as the girl expected, "Titanic" was infinitely close to 20 billion at the box office, so the Academy of Film finally awarded this trophy to James Cameron!

When the award presenter read out his name, the audience burst into applause, and all the crew of "Titanic" who participated in the ceremony stood up and applauded him warmly.

Excited, James kissed his girlfriend Linda next to him, then stood up and shook his fist vigorously, and congratulated his friends one by one. .

"Thank you, thank you!" Cameron said as he walked, he couldn't help but hug Mrs. Stewart and Rachel to celebrate. Of course, Angela couldn't run away, and was kissed on the cheek by the excited James.

"Congratulations, Mr. Best Director," said the girl, for God's sake not to argue with him.

"Thank you, you are the one I want to thank the most! Angie!" James said and kissed her on the other side of the cheek, causing Angela to roll her eyes in her stomach. Fortunately, he let her go and walked onto the stage.

"It's such a special day." After receiving the statuette, Cameron stroked the trophy and said with emotion, with a look of excitement and satisfaction, "Let me think, let me think, I...should remember how to speak, This is good."

There was laughter.

"Well, first of all, thanks to 20th Century Fox, I don't think anyone will think this is a failed investment anymore!"

Another laugh.

"Then I would like to thank all the crew, Rachel, Gloria, Deborah, Antonio, etc., without your efforts, I could not have done this excellent movie alone! Special mention to Angela , without her beautiful soundtrack and singing voice, "Titanic" would be half lost after all! There are many people I want to thank, Linda! Always accompany me when I am most bored and irritable; Matthew, Anderson and North You are the best assistants! And mom and dad, I can't stand here without your teaching, I love you!"

The clapping applause sounded again, and James, who had finished speaking in one breath, paused before he opened his mouth with a smile on his face: "Finally, I would like to thank the Academy of Film for awarding me the best director. I will use a line to express my current feelings!"

He lifted up the little gold and shook it vigorously, shouting loudly: "I am the king of the world!"

There was a lot of laughter, even if someone would slander, there was still applause at the scene.Angela also laughed and shook her head while applauding. She didn't expect that even if it was a year earlier, this guy would still give this ostentatious line before the end of the speech, but after all, he wouldn't be James Camer if he wasn't ostentatious. Long.

When the final envelope was opened and the guests read "Titanic", the whole hall burst into thunderous applause again. This excellent film reached its peak, the most nominated and most awarded film in Oscar history. !Who would have expected that this movie that almost bankrupted Fox would reach such heights!So when the producer in charge, Harrisard, accepted the award, the first few sentences were completely incomprehensible, which caused bursts of good-natured laughter.

Angela has completely relaxed, and at the same time she is a little complacent. Under the flapping of her wings, "Titanic" will be unique in the next ten years. Which movie can have more than 15 nominations and 12 awards?But it was also at this time that the girl suddenly discovered that "The English Patient", which had received 12 nominations, hadn't won a single prize!This is really... a complete tragedy.

If there is a fan of "The English Patient" from the previous life here, I would definitely want to strangle her to death. "The English Patient", which has received 12 nominations and 9 awards, won nothing at the 69 Oscars!Great director Anthony Minghella's only chance to win an Oscar for Best Director was abruptly snatched away.

For this, the girl can only say sorry, this matter was already doomed when she participated in "Titanic", life is like a coffee table, there are always many washing utensils and cups on it!Fortunately, there is no cutlery this time. Not winning a prize may not be a bad thing for "The English Patient". Every year after the Oscars, there will always be critics complaining about those excellent movies, and this time there will be no exception, and Also crashed with excellent movies, and received multiple nominations but got nothing is "The Shawshank Redemption"!Think about what the critics said about "The Shawshank Redemption" - the most perfect movie ever!

"The Shawshank Redemption" is indeed perfect, but it is undeniable that the failure to win a prize also gave it a tragic color. It is conceivable that "The English Patient" must be compared with "The Shawshank Redemption" in the eyes of critics , Maybe someone will scold Oscar for being conquered by commercial movies.

Therefore, there is no need to worry about "The English Patient". In the eyes of some movie fans, it may surpass the existence of "Titanic". Besides, the record for the most nominations but nothing is 11. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is somewhat broken. An Oscar record, no?Moreover, the most tragic is not the movie itself, but the director Anthony Minghella!

According to the original history, after "The English Patient", all the Oscar-winning works of this great director were mixed and unfavorable, especially "Cold Mountain" after the 21st century, although it continued the "English Patient" in love. Delicate and beautiful, but the whole movie is a bit lengthy and fragmented. As a result, it was a disastrous failure at the box office. Although it was nominated for 9 Oscars, the main awards of Best Film, Best Director and Best Actor and Actress were not among them.

Angela didn't remember these very clearly. Of course, even if she knew, she wouldn't care. The butterfly's wings had already started to flutter. Who knew that these things would definitely happen?So she was very happy to go to the front hall with other winners after the award ceremony and take a group photo with the big uncle Oscar in front of the blue curtain full of statuettes. This is the practice of the ceremony. She has already participated in the supporting actress. Generally speaking, the most photographed are Best Actor and Actress, Best Supporting Actor and Best Director, but today I have to add Angela, who has nothing to do with the acting award. Let her break the record and win three statuettes in a single session, and she is still so young!

"Miss Mason, as the first Oscar winner to win three trophies at once, do you think you are accidental or inevitable?"

"All."

"May I ask if you didn't win the best screenplay, do you regret it?"

"Do not."

"Miss Mason, how do you feel about being named the youngest winner of the best soundtrack award?"

"Thank you, I will do better."

As soon as I came out of the sacred auditorium, I was surrounded by reporters' questions. Although the girl was in a good mood, she was not careless, and she answered politely and with the simplest words with a smile, so as not to make any misunderstandings. Until she The reporters who got on the bus couldn't get much out of her mouth.

"Let's go to the Century Plaza Hotel!" Ignoring the reporters who were still filming around the car, Angela said to Bucket who was driving, and then she took the phone from Pu Guanshui and started calling.

"Hi, Dad, Mom...Thank you, thank you...I got 12 awards and of course there will be a celebration banquet...Okay, I love you, see you later!"
