King of Hollywood

Chapter 181 The Second Coming of Oscar (4)

After Neil Jordan finished his speech on the stage, there was another applause at the scene. Compared with before he took the stage, the applause this time was much purer. Even the three crews on Adrian's side, who were the loudest before, applauded to express their congratulations.

However, after the applause, Monica still complained in Adrian's ear: "I don't understand why they awarded him the best original screenplay. "Pulp Fiction" is worse than "The Crying Game"? You know , Many people say that the structure of "Pulp Fiction" is very brilliant, isn't this one of the criteria for judging?"

Adrian was a little surprised when the long series of sentences came out of her mouth.

"Before this, you didn't talk much. What made you start talking, Monica?" Adrian looked at the sexy girl beside him with interest, with a hint of ridicule in his tone.

"Because I'm complaining about you." Monica immediately gave him an annoyed look.

"Okay, okay, thank you, but it's okay, it's just a screenwriting award." Adrian laughed, and went around from behind and gently squeezed her waist, "It seems that during this time You have learned a lot, and you can even tell the difference between good and bad film structure, should I congratulate you?"

"I'm not a vase, Ed." Monica looked away to look at the stage, and then sighed softly after a few seconds: "I don't want to be a vase either."

Adrian shrugged, and after squeezing the hands around her waist from the back of the chair a few more times, he looked at her profile and said softly: "You won't be a vase, Monica, As long as I'm here."

Then, when Monica turned her head back, she took her hands back, looked at the stage and said in a voice that everyone around her could hear: "I'm still struggling with this, let's look forward to the next award."

Qualifications are indeed very important. Although Neil Jordan was nominated for an Oscar for the first time, he has been a screenwriter for ten years. In addition to screenwriting, he is also a director, and he has also achieved considerable results in some film festivals. In contrast, Adrian has only entered the film industry for only two years. Although he has made amazing achievements in these two short years, it has not reached the point where the judges can ignore others, so in the end It's understandable that the best original script fell into the hands of Neil Jordan.

Of course, there is another factor here. If it weren’t for Adrian’s two nominations for the best adapted screenplay, I believe that the best original screenplay will definitely be his. After all, “Pulp Fiction” has an influence on future movies in many places . It's a pity that there are two nominations for the best adapted screenplay, and they are both quite outstanding. If he is not awarded, he will definitely be criticized, so the judges thought about it, and let him lose in the best original screenplay.

Yes, this is balancing. Don’t think that Oscar can’t balance. It’s just that they are very skilled most of the time, and it’s not sure that they are really balancing. Of course, this tonight was too deliberate, I believe most people can see it, but the judges have no better way.

If both awards are awarded to Adrian, how can there be so many excellent screenwriters with more than ten years of experience in Hollywood? It would be even more unfair on the basis of two nominations not to award Best Adapted Screenplay to Adrian. The two evils are the lesser, so they simply took away the best original screenplay. Anyway, there are such things in the Oscars every year. However, I am afraid that there are not many people in Hollywood who can make them so at a loss and have to bite the bullet and make a choice.

Anyway, it's not enough to lose to "Unforgivable". Besides, in this way, the best director with double nominations is more assured. Adrian thought so. Although on the surface he has not paid much attention to it, but in his heart he has unknowingly regarded Eastwood's "Unforgiven" as the biggest opponent of this year's Oscars.

It's a pity that before he was happy for too long, the guests on the stage announced that "Unforgiven" won the best editing.

Adrian frowned into a "Chuan" and then smoothed it out, and then applauded generously in congratulations. However, even though it was only a few seconds, Monica beside him still noticed the change in his expression, and immediately held his hand tightly again.

"Fortunately, there is only one award to be nominated, otherwise my hand will definitely be swollen by you." Adrian said humorously, but in exchange for it, Monica rolled her eyes.

"It's understandable to say that the script failed, but the editing should not lose to other films anyway." She said angrily, with a very aggrieved look, which immediately attracted the approval of the people around her.

"Indeed, "Unforgivable" is a good movie, but it is much worse than "Pulp Fiction" in terms of editing, right? Isn't "Pulp Fiction" most praised for its structure?" An assistant said.

"It's not surprising, Oscar sometimes likes to make things difficult for most people." Travolta said teasingly.

"I can expect that tomorrow someone will attack this decision." Willis also chimed in.

Then there were more and more people discussing. If Pacino and Hopkins were not too far away, they might have added up. Adrian hurriedly stopped them: "Okay, guys, I already have a statuette, and there will be a more important nomination later, if I can get it, it doesn't matter if the best editing goes to them."

Everyone was just complaining about Adrian. Since he said so and he was right, the weight of the best director is much heavier than the best editing anyway, so stop talking and focus on it again. to the stage.

Adrian glanced at Monica again, and the unbalanced look on the brows of the sexy girl still did not dissipate. He laughed secretly in his heart, and then said in a low voice: "Look, Monica, there are unfairness everywhere, so don't be too nervous."

An imperceptible embarrassment flashed in Monica's eyes, but she calmed down and smiled: "I believe it."

Adrian didn't speak anymore, although this time there was obviously a bit of acting - Monica's acting skills still need to be improved - but what does it matter? The more she is like this, the less she will leave herself.

Speaking of it, the loss of the best editing is really unfair. As the assistant said before, "Pulp Fiction" is most praised for its structure, and the structure is reflected in the editing. If it's justifiable to say that he lost the best original screenplay, but for the best editing... Could it be because he was a nominee?

Qualifications are really important. Adrian snorted softly in his heart. But in this way, I should be one step closer to the best director, after all, there are two nominations.

Even though he thought so, he still felt a little uneasy in his heart. Best director, best editing and best original screenplay are different after all, and lack of qualifications is still a big problem.

He shook his head slightly. Adrian focused his attention on the song and dance program that was being performed on the stage. Anyway, the two awards were the most important, as long as those two were obtained, other problems would not be a problem.

"It's such a beautiful singing voice, I'm so moved after listening to it, I almost wanted to sing duet at the front stage." Christo began to put on airs on the stage again, making the audience laugh again and again.

"It's a pity that now is not the time, because the most important moment tonight is coming, do you want to know what it is?" His expression became extremely serious, and after two or three seconds like this, he suddenly smiled again: "I won't tell you. "

Immediately, there were boos.

"Okay, okay, can't you watch it for yourself?" Crystal rolled his eyes and flung his hands before slipping backstage, and a few seconds later, last year's Best Actress winner Jodie Foster had already won Carrying the envelope and walking to the front desk, a white women's suit made her look heroic.

If you can’t guess what award will be awarded next, everyone present will probably be idiots. All kinds of voices rang out. Zhong Lei changed his posture several times.

"For an actor, the most important thing is the best actor and actress. This is not only an affirmation of his acting skills, but also a great honor. I am very glad that the jury asked me to present this award, although it is destined that there will be four people Disappointed, but please don't be discouraged, you are still great." Jodie Foster held the envelope and talked, which immediately attracted warm applause. She is indeed a talented woman from Yale.

"Well, let's look at the list first," Judy said, turning her head to look at the big screen nearby, ""Scent of a Woman", Al Pacino; "The Life of Chaplin", Robert Don Jr. Tony; The Crying Game, Stephen Rea; Pulp Fiction, John Travolta; Unforgiven, Clint Eastwood."

Although Pacino seemed to be sitting firmly in his seat at this time, his eyes were fixed on Judy on the stage, his lips were pursed into a line, and his eyes were wide open with the momentum of Lieutenant Colonel Frank. He has been nominated 6 times before and after, adding the two this time is 8 times, and he has lost the Best Supporting Actor before, and it would be too sad to lose the Best Actor now.

As opponents, Robert Downey Jr. and Stephen Ray are too far apart, and we can't see anything from the picture on the screen, but Clint Eastwood, who is not far away, squints his eyes, with two sword eyebrows in the middle Pressing down, even wearing a suit can't hide the aura of not admitting defeat. He really deserves to be an old cowboy.

The most foolish one is John Travolta, who doesn't care about it at all. For him, it is good to be nominated. If he can get it, he will be considered a big prize.

In this atmosphere, Adrian couldn't help becoming slightly nervous. Although he knew that Pacino had a great advantage, and he also believed that he had expressed the essence of "Scent of a Woman", but before the result came out, he Can't be completely at ease, will everything be business as usual? can you?
