Chapter 248 No accidents

What a pity, I always thought Naomi would win the Best Supporting Actress.Sophie whispered as she stared at the stage after Adrian sat back in her original position.

Although the few women of similar age are clearly distinguished for various reasons, their relationships are generally harmonious, so it is no wonder Sophie said so.

As for Natalie, they knew a little bit, the twisted relationship between Adrian and her, but they didn't understand what was going on, but they didn't think about it because no one would make a fuss about the playboy chasing women.

It doesn't matter, there will be opportunities in the future.Adrian smiled dismissively. Since he served as the award presentation guest, the possibility of Naomi and Natalie winning the award fell to the lowest level.

The film school does not want to show some places that are too easy to be criticized. Although there are many places that are criticized, pretending is inevitable.

However, in this regard, Adrian's previous speculation should be correct. The senior executives of the college board know a little about the voting situation. Perhaps it is not very specific, but the situation is probably absolutely clear.

This is just right, and some things can go smoothly, even if it's just a way to make a big difference in his plan.

Okay, back to the overall situation, there is another reason why Sophie said this.

Don't worry, watch it.Adrian gently patted the back of her hand, and Sophie's face suddenly turned red, and he could undoubtedly see what she was thinking.

Looking at Blanchett on the other side, although she was listening to the speech of Marcia Gay Harden on the stage, the slightly curved corners of her mouth seemed meaningful, and Sophie couldn't help but feel annoyed, but Adrian immediately held her hand. Although his eyes were focused on the stage, the warm feeling from the palm of her palm still relaxed Sophie, so she finally just coughed a little awkwardly.

Adrian understood Sophie's feelings, thought about her longing and his achievements over the past few years, so the closer the goal is, the more you are, the more you are worried about gains and losses.

In this case, Adrian just comforted her with his actions. Language did not work much. Instead of reassuring her, it was better to let her hold back for the time being and use facts to prove that her worries were wrong.

Yes, at this time, he can basically speak for sure. In order to give Sophie the throne of the best actress, Adrian also put some effort into other aspects, such as

"Two Soldiers"!

When the award presenter read out his name, the audience burst into routine applause, while Sophie next to Adrian seemed a little disappointed, and then the anxious look between her eyebrows became more.

This is a good thing, Sophie.Adrian grabbed her hand and clenched it tightly, giving her a reassuring smile, believe me, wait and see.

Sophie opened her mouth, but said nothing, just nodded slightly and returned to some calmness again.

It is expected that "Sleeping in the Night in the Supermarket" did not win the best short film. Although "Two Soldiers" seems a bit long, in Adrian's opinion, the content of forty minutes can be cut in half, but who made this short film tell the story of World War II, which is love, loyalty, responsibility, and sacrifice, are all favorites of the film school. It is basically impossible to win an award, even if "Sleeping in the Night in the Supermarket" can resonate with ordinary people more easily.

It does not mean that short films that have won awards will definitely win, not to mention that Allen Schneider, the director of "Two Soldiers", is an American.

Sophie’s biggest weakness is that she is French, and the film school has always favored her own people. Not to mention that she has obtained a green card, even if she is naturalized, it will take a long time to erase this from people’s minds.

The previous best actresses, Gwyneth and Julia were Americans. Although Nicole was Australian, Australia was easier to integrate into the American cultural circle than other countries. It can be seen from the Australian Gang in Hollywood that Blanchett was also able to reach the top because of this, coupled with Adrian's public relations and the creation of a situation of competition between the two movies at the same time, not to mention that Nicole was born in Honolulu.

The most troublesome thing is Monica, but don’t forget that in the Hollywood circle, Italians led by Scorsese also have a lot of say. In this regard, it is really not necessary for Adrian to intervene in sniper Scorsese’s best director whom he is determined to win last year.

These, coupled with Weinstein's public relations ability and AC Media's full cooperation, Monica was sent. Even so, some people still say that she won disgrace.

Then, is there anything French in the Hollywood circle?

However, it seems very difficult, but there is no hope at all. I won’t talk about the articles I made about Fahrenheit 911 before. Weinstein’s ability is also not mentioned. There is another place

It’s finally time again. Every time it’s so exciting, every time it’s so envious... Oh, sorry, I mean the one behind, not the one in front.

Christo made a look of saying the wrong thing, which immediately caused a lot of laughter.

After several technical awards and more important script awards, there is no doubt that the sweeping award ceremony of "Lord of the Rings: Return of the King" finally ushered in the final climax, with the award of the four most important awards.

The first thing to be hit was the Best Actress. When Christo announced on stage, Sophie immediately became nervous again.

The more this time Adrian relaxed, as the award presenters began to introduce the nomination list, the screen immediately listed the selections one by one.

In addition to Sophie and Kate who were nominated for "Life of the Rose" and "The Inner Light" respectively, there are Samantha Morton in "The New American Dream", Caitlina Sandino Moreno in "Maria" and Judy Madson in "Here".

In the eyes of others, the nomination was fine, but they didn't know that the list was made by Adrian.

If he hadn't intervened, at least two women should have been on the list. Diane Keaton, who performed well in "Love Is a Compromise", performed well in "Julie and Julia"...

Meryl Streep.

However, the book "Wanfu Maria" describes the girl who smuggled drugs should participate in the Sundance Film Festival in January this year, and then receives certain praise and popularity. It was just completed last year but was attracted by the Focus Pictures, a subsidiary of Universal, which was responsible for distributing independent films. It was quickly previewed at the end of the year and was able to participate in this year's Oscars. Caitlina Sandino Moreno also won the No. 1 award for Best Actress with Focus' efforts.

As for "Here", which describes American families in the 1950s and 1960s from a woman's perspective, it was released by Dimen Pictures. Although it seems to be an independent film company, it is actually closely related to Miramax, so Judy Madson, who is the starring actor, was also nominated.

So, on this nomination list, Kate and Samantha are British, Caitlina Colombian, and are still very young, only Judy Madson is American, but this is her first nomination.

That's right, everything is a means adopted by Adrian. He found ways to get some actresses with low chances of winning the award and squeeze out the threatening few, which naturally left Sophie with more room.

Otherwise, although "Julie and Julia" is a warm-hearted plot movie, maybe Streep will win the second best actress in advance, and Diane Keaton is the same, so it is necessary to do so.

This is not easy, but doing it is not easy and not doing it is two different things. Fortunately, after mobilizing countless resources, the final result basically meets his requirements. Although this cost Adrian some considerable price, it is completely worth it based on Sophie's performance.

This situation has been created, including the foreshadowing of "Fatus 911" and Weinstein's hard-working public relations. In addition, Sophie has also been nominated for the Oscar Performance Award several times, so naturally it was not upset.

Sophie Marceau!

When the name was pronounced, the audience was in an uproar, and Sophie covered her mouth in disbelief. She was even confused. Finally, the strong sense of unreality of what she had been looking forward to was overwhelmed by her, making her not know what to do.

Go up, Sophie.Adrian pushed lightly, and the applause rang out at this moment.

OK... OK.Sophie stood up, still a little dazed, and even looked at Adrian timidly. It was not until she walked onto the stage to take over the Little Golden Man that she calmed down.

Sorry, I... She took a deep breath, I didn't expect that one day I would stand here, although I had dreamed countless times, when I just read my name, I even thought I was dreaming, and I even said to myself in my heart: Sophie, are you sure it's your name, not the same name as you?

A kind laughter sounded.

Thanks!

Sophie wiped it on her eyes, thank you for awarding this award to me, thank you everyone on the crew of "Rose Life", thank you for supporting me, thank you... Adrian, thank you for giving me the opportunity.I can finally prove that I finally use this proof...

Sophie on the stage became choked again. She pursed her lips and tried desperately to control herself, but the corners of her mouth kept trembling and her eyes became redder.

Finally, she let out a sob. Although she lowered her head and covered her mouth immediately, everyone could hear it clearly. The strongly trembling shoulders also clearly expressed Sophie's feelings. After wasting decades, she finally got affirmation, so she cried with joy.

Adrian stood up without hesitation and began to applaud. Under his guidance, the people around him also stood up, and then more people also stood up. Whether it was because of Adrian's face or the influence of the herd effect, everyone in the hall stood up and applauded and congratulated Sophie.

Thank you, thank you again, thank you everyone, and thank you too... Ms. Piyafu, the tears of Sophie holding the little golden man in her hand, said, I once doubted whether I could play this role well, but Ms. Piyafu's experience has always inspired me and made me muster up the courage to face it and work hard to fight for it.

Finally, she looked at Adrian below: If I have anything else to say, then there is only one word, which is the love Ms. Piyafu said to the female reporter at the beach in the movie!

After saying that, Sophie lifted the corner of her skirt and bowed deeply, and warm applause rang again.

When she walked off the stage, even though she covered her mouth with her hands, the tears in her eyes fell uncontrollably. When she came to Adrian, she hugged him tightly without hesitation, buried her head on his shoulder and sobbed quietly.

Adrian didn't care about the appearance around him, and gently patted her back to soothe. After several seconds, Sophie controlled her emotions.

Sorry, Ed.

After letting go of her hand, she said this, and then hugged Blanchett next to her again, and Blanchett would also like to hug her tightly for several seconds.

Then, she hugged the others in turn, and then sat back to her position. Although the applause was not loud, it never stopped.

Sorry, Ed.Sophie said this again.

It doesn't matter.Adrian smiled slightly, Do you remember what I said before?

Then, before Sophie spoke, she raised her index finger to her mouth: Don’t worry, we have time tonight.

On the stage, the best actor is about to be announced, so Sophie didn't speak, but she still had indescribable gratitude in her tears, and her hand holding Adrian tighter.

The winner of Best Actor was not beyond Adrian's expectations. She is still Sean Penn of "Mysterious River", a well-known bad boy in Hollywood.

Speaking of which, some people are so unlucky. Although Tom Cruise has tried his best to show himself in "The Last Samurai", unfortunately Ken Watanabe was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor, but he has no choice.

Okay, let alone this, Sean Penn, who went up to receive the award, was very happy. Although he was famously unruly and dared to shoot at the media helicopter with a shotgun, everyone will sooner or later mature. Being able to win the Best Actor is also a kind of affirmation that the film school has begun to mature, or that he has become compromised.

However, Clint Eastwood's face is not very good. The reason is very simple. Looking at the history of the Oscars, there are very few works that have won the Performance Award, Director Award and Best Film at the same time.

In addition to helping Sean Penn win the Best Actor, "Mysterious River" also allowed Tim Robbins to win the Best Supporting Actor before. So if you want to win the Best Director and Best Movie, the hope will be very slim.

If it were other times, the old man might be confident that he could still win, but with Adrian, a pervert who has been nominated for several consecutive times in Best Director or Best Movie, it is really hard for him to have too much confidence.

Although they were both referees and contestants Eastwood, from actors to directors, had long been a member of the Film Academy and had a wide range of connections in Hollywood, the power and resources he possessed were far from comparable to, and this was always a country where money was supreme.

So, just like Sophie’s Best Actress, before attending the awards ceremony, Adrian would ask for the finale of all aspects and links over and over again, but after entering the Kodak Theater, he calmed down. It was his own, and it must be his own!

Okay, everyone, it’s time to the last moment now, maybe a miracle that I’ve never seen before will occur tonight!

Christo said with a wink and said, of course, when I say the word miracle, it is indeed a simple meaning of miracle, without any other hints, I promise, absolutely not, please believe me!

The scene laughed, and everyone knew what he was talking about. Adrian shrugged and looked at the stage with a decent smile until

"The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King", Adrian Cowell!

good!

When the soundtrack of "Lord of the Rings" sounded, Adrian breathed a sigh of relief and waved his fist slightly.

Although he has participated in the Oscar countless times and knows that he is the most likely to win, just like the one he said to reporters without getting tired of, no one can guarantee that he will definitely be the winner until the last moment. From this point of view, the business operation of the Oscar is indeed very outstanding.

After he stood up, the people around him began to congratulate. Although Sophie became a little restrained because of her previous enthusiasm, Blanchett, Monica and Liv did not have so many concerns. They hugged each other one by one, which immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Adrian walked onto the stage with a calm expression. After taking over the best director, Xiao Jinren coughed lightly at the microphone, then took out a small piece of paper from his shirt pocket, frowned and glanced for a few glances, and stuttered: This... Thanks... Well... Sorry, I can't see this word clearly.

There was a burst of laughter from below.

OK, I just said I shouldn't prepare in advance.Adrian then turned over the paper, and the camera immediately rang, with blank space on it, and the laughter became even louder.

Frankly speaking, I no longer remember the feeling of winning the trophy last time I won the Best Director. Thanks to the Academy for allowing me to relive this feeling again, although... Oh, I'm a pity to "The Matrix", you are never suitable for this kind of scene.

Adri sighed in a state of shame, causing another burst of laughter.

Of course, this has been a very good change. I believe that the Academy and all the filmmakers have been working hard and constantly seeking innovation and change. Thank God, this is why we can always maintain our glory.

Adrian raised the trophy in his hand: Finally, thanks to the entire crew, this glory belongs not only to me but also to you. Without you, I would not be able to show the magnificent Middle-earth world alone. Without you, I would not be able to carry out this grand adventure to the end. This is a great victory, and this adventure will surely be remembered in our hearts forever. Thank you!
