Hollywood Domination Chapter 248: Flower of Gaoling

After three months of strike negotiations, Hollywood has finally emerged from the shadow of the industry shutdown, and it coincides with its 80th birthday. Many actors, as well as celebrities and wealthy people living in Los Angeles, popular superstars, even began to come and go to various Oscar warm-up parties a week in advance. These parties held by luxury brands, well-known media, major foundations, and major film studios have no meaning of canvassing votes now, but people's enthusiasm for attending them is much higher than attending various commercial public relations activities Many, after all, this is the time when the most people are gathered every year. The awards season is coming to an end. If you want to publish a blog, this week is the best and last chance.

In the early spring of 2008, after more than three months of desolation and depression, the big stars in Hollywood seemed to be unwilling to be lonely. Brad Pitt and his pregnant girlfriend Angelina Jolie, Lee Leonardo DiCaprio, Tom Cruise, Christopher Hanks, Josh Branch, Penelope Cruz, Reese Witherspoon, Jennifer Bell... Although these big stars did not get nominations, they still actively attended various warm-up parties. Together with Cate Blanchett, Marion Cotillard and other actors and directors who received Aotti, they constituted the most prestigious awards season awards season. Beautiful scenery. "Vanity Fair" Oscar warm-up party, Chanel Oscar warm-up party, return fund Oscar warm-up party, stars put on one after another costumes, frantically going in and out of these occasions, with well-known NBA players, IT upstarts, energy tycoons They talked about yachts, private islands, private jets, wineries and political conflicts, anti-government demonstrations, and even the resulting financial turmoil. The reward: After years of dieting, sacrificing blood, and even painful filming work, movie stars can often feel at this kind of party that they have truly entered the Vanity Fair and become one of them. important one. ——Although they are far less wealthy than the rich and powerful people in these parties, their appearance can often make these big people flush with excitement, and even speak incoherently, completely turning them into the most loyal fans.

This is also an ironclad proof that Hollywood's film and television industry has fully matured. Although Buffett and other billionaires are worth millions and are incomparably rich, movie stars can still be humble and dignified in front of them. This is not only because of their popularity, but also Because movie stars have core technologies that cannot be replaced by money, capital no longer plays such a big role in the film and television industry. Although relying on capital can still achieve success more easily, it is by no means a guarantee of success.

As a result, at such parties, economy, environmental protection and even luxury goods are only marginal topics, and what people are really talking about is still movies. The Internet is still closely related to the Oscars. What movie stars care about is not which rich man they made friends with, or which politician they flirted with. No, who got good results again, and these box office and award trends, and what trend in the industry, this is more interesting to them than resorts, private islands, and luxury mansions.

"Christopher Hanks is here." When there was a small commotion at the door, Penelope Cruz glanced at it and spoke to her friend, another Spanish American actress Elsa Pataky said. "Bringing a new female partner—of course, this is not a strange thing. I have said that Jennifer Jefferson can't control him for a long time."

Penelope and Elsa are both very well-known in Spain. However, Penelope, who came to Hollywood early to develop and only occasionally returned to Spain to participate in top big productions, is two years younger than her. The 20-year-old Elsa has been focusing on developing in Spain, that is, she started trying to break into Hollywood a few years ago. Although her status in Spain is not low and she is regarded as one of the most important actresses in the country, but in In Hollywood, Elsa is like starting from scratch. The reason why she got the ticket to the Armani Oscar warm-up party is because she and the actor Adrien Brody are in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. At the party, although people were very enthusiastic about Adrian, they were a little indifferent to her, as if they were treating an unknown person. And even Penelope, who has already made a name for herself in Hollywood, is not as popular as Leonardo, Christopher and other big names in this venue. When she watched the fashion show just now, her seat was not even as good as Jennifer Bell.

Although the two actresses have little friendship in Spain, in Hollywood, non-wasp groups like to cuddle together. Coupled with Penelope's status, Elsa will not be able to catch up in a few years, so she He didn't care about the possible future competition, but enthusiastically gave her some tips on Hollywood connections, "It's a pity that you already have Adrian, both of whom are Oscar winners, and Christopher is of course much greater. If you can charm For his words, let’s not talk about exposure—maybe he can even introduce you to his agent, Cesare Vijari. Girl, that’s a big shot. It’s said that he’s in CAA, and he’s only two feet away from the CEO. One step away, if he can sign you, then you don't have to worry about anything."

Elsa is still in the stage of taking English classes. She used to speak English, but not to the point of mother tongue, and has a strong accent. Her current agent has arranged an accent class for her. She has to learn American English in time, so she is not too eager to find a film appointment. Besides, she is a little disapproving of Penelope's statement: under Adrian's lead, her current agent is not bad.

Of course, she would not reveal her inner thoughts, but shook her head with a smile and said, "I'm afraid I don't like him. I heard that he likes young tall girls just like Leonardo."

Penelope smiled, "I just said casually, oh, look, Jennifer Bell has stood with him, she was also Vijay's client before, and she has a good relationship with Christopher ——Beside her is her fiancé, Georgia Lansing, he is an important person in Universal, let me take you there to say hello, Elsa, it will be very beneficial for you to know more friends. I hear It is said that Georgia has at least five projects for Universal next year, of course, the best must be reserved for Bell, but there are always roles that can be played."

"You can't ask for it, Penelope." Elsa said gratefully. Her current goal is to star in a small-budget literary film, or a vase heroine in a medium-production commercial film. Clayton" or "There Will Be Blood" and other movies with investment and room for female lead, Elsa didn't even dare to think about it. She thinks it's a good start to be the leading actress in some love soap movies. "Adrian is not good at this. As soon as he entered the door, he patronized and chatted with his friends."

After Adrien Brody won the best actor, his star luck has not been smooth. Don't look at the protection of the Oscar halo, but the films he starred in have repeatedly failed in the box office and his acting skills have not been recognized. Under the circumstances, the competitive advantage in the past few years has been getting smaller and smaller, and I am also struggling to keep my coffee position. I want to negotiate some good projects from the film studio, bring my girlfriend to this kind of party, walk the red carpet, and make connections Talking about an agent is of course no problem, but if he wants to devote his energy to match Elsa and talk about her film contract, then this requirement is a bit too high.

Although Penelope is well aware of Adrian's situation, from this point of view, although Adrian has Oscar's protection, his status is not as good as hers. Since Penelope's debut more than ten years ago, although there have been no commercially successful works, the salary has not been able to rise, but with her outstanding acting skills and beauty, her position in Hollywood is quite stable. In terms of salary, the b-list is stable Stop, it's not like Adrian, literary films are not good, no one wants commercial films, and the salary is almost falling to the c-list.

"Christopher." He brought Elsa forward, greeted Christopher and Jennifer Bell, and Penelope hugged Bell warmly, "Georgia, Jane, we haven't seen each other for a long time—— This is my compatriot, Elsa Pataky."

Penelope, who has been able to cooperate with big directors many times and starred in first-class literary and artistic films, has not gone very smoothly on the road of literary and artistic films, but Bell, who holds a stable and profitable commercial film series "Dark Legend", these two The competitive relationship between the two women is not very strong, but they are all very interested in the resources in the hands of the other party. Bell smiled affectionately at Penelope, "Penny, wow, you look so beautiful today—Christopher , if you haven't noticed, Penny doesn't have a boyfriend today."

"What are you implying?" Christopher said with a smile, but he seemed obviously absent-minded. He just nodded and smiled at Penelope, and left without even saying hello to Elsa. ——This is indeed a bit rude, but none of the people present showed any displeasure. After all, he is Christopher Hanks.

With Bell and Penelope here, many actors and producers were attracted, and Elsa and Georgia also had a conversation. Of course, they were talking about this year's Oscars, "Best Movie It's really hard to say, "No Country for Old Men" is on par with "Michael Clayton" this year, of course, no one thinks "Atonement" can win the award..."

Although Elsa's English still has a certain accent, she did a lot of homework and had a great time talking with Georgia and Bell. Georgia even asked her for some detailed information, and Elsa secretly Caper: A major studio like Universal releases dozens of films every year. If Georgia is willing to give her a chance, even if she just participates in an audition, with high-level guidance, the success rate will be slightly higher. Then she has great hope to open up the situation in Hollywood, at least she can get rid of the terrible prospect of no film to act in.

"Ah, it's already eight o'clock." The handsome Georgia suddenly interrupted the conversation, he looked at his watch, and immediately waved to Jennifer Bell not far away, "We should go, dear Yeah, no wonder Chris and Leo are long gone, come on, Jane, you have to change—I'm afraid we'll be late."

He used such intimate names as Chris and Leo to call the two superstars, which undoubtedly revealed his status. Elsa felt a deep envy in her heart: Georgia must be talking about the orthodox Oscar eve party , in order to avoid its time, Armani's eve clothing show was held in the afternoon, and the party was held earlier, so big-name stars could catch up. Leonardo, Christopher and Bell, no doubt all invited to the eve party. Even Penelope, who is a guest of the Oscars, is very likely to go. Although Adrian is the former actor, he has not received an invitation letter this year, and he will not participate in tomorrow's Oscars ceremony.

Among the few friends who talked together, only Elsa couldn't go to a higher-level party. Of course, she was not in a good mood. However, Georgia thought for a while, glanced at her, and suddenly threw out An invitation that made her ecstasy, "If you don't mind, Elsa, come with us and we can continue our discussion while Jennifer changes clothes."—Me and Jennifer both got invitations , there is a free one, you can use it with Adrian."

This is indeed what Elsa could have wished for - she is not as yearning for a eve party as a little fan, but Georgia's goodwill is a very exciting booster for her, She suppressed her joy, and exchanged glances with the smiling Penelope: "Of course I wish for it, Georgia, thank you so much..."

#

If the threshold for Armani's eve party is relatively low, in addition to related personnel in the film and television industry, there are also a large number of VIP customers of Armani, high-level executives of the company, etc. who Elsa is not very interested in (Elsa's net worth is not very high. For her, the Oscar eve party is a real industry event for her. Not long after she arrived in Hollywood, she was like a country girl, standing dumbfounded in a corner of the crowd, listening to Penelope's rapid-fire introduction. "Oh, see the Coen Brothers? They have a great chance to get the best director this year..."

"Cate Blanchett, I didn't expect her to come. I thought she would rest at home to raise her baby. After all, she's not young anymore."

"Cameron Diaz, by the way, she was also a client of Vijay, but then Vijay had Jennifer Jefferson, and she fired him. She regrets it very much—you see that Bell and her are very familiar, but their relationship is not very good, I advise you not to say good things about Cameron in front of Bell—"

"Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, oh, that's the crew of "Bourne Shadow 3", almost all of them are here, have you seen Tony Gilroy? He can't be underestimated, no But the screenwriter of "The Bourne" series is also the director of "Michael Clayton", it's hard to say which halo is more important to him..."

"Johnny Depp—Of course there is Vanessa, but I remember that you are also very familiar with her," Penelope said: They are all European stars, and there must be many opportunities to meet. "Johnny was nominated for an Oscar this year, but he definitely can't compare with Daniel, he should be running with him...Daniel didn't even show up at the warm-up party tonight, he's really big enough"

Without waiting for Elsa to reply, Penelope said 'Ah' again, "It's Leonardo, and Christopher - you see them both again, don't you? Georgia is right, they Definitely came to the eve party."

Pointing at the two men who were having an intimate conversation, she lowered her voice, "It seems that they have reconciled—it was rumored that the two of them fell out because of Jennifer Jefferson... oh, the one who was talking to them was A big shot—Kevin Riley, the vice president of Fox, is said to be a strong candidate for the next CEO."

There was also a hint of envy in Penelope's voice, and Elsa could also see the intimacy between Kevin Riley and these two big-name movie stars. In the meantime, Georgia was somewhat condescending, but in front of Kevin, who had a higher position and more power, Chris and Leo couldn't see the feeling of being inferior at all, and even if they had to say, Elsa also felt that Kevin was deliberately making friends with these two boys. Of course, Chris and Leo were not arrogant in their kindness towards him. of.

Before she had time to express her emotions, Penelope suddenly whispered softly: "I didn't expect Jon Landau to come too! Elsa, if there is a chance, I advise you Be sure to talk to him a lot, preferably charm him - maybe you don't know him yet, but search his name and your jaw will drop: "Titanic", "True" Lies of "..."

While Penelope was still counting the extraordinary things about Jon Landau, Georgia Lansing also brought his fiancée back to the corner, and he was talking to Jennifer Bell with a happy face, "...Maybe we can arrange a meeting with Jon, and if he's interested, that project will be settled."

"Jennifer." Penelope said with a smile, "I saw you and Ivy Kennedy whispering just now, tell me the truth, are you talking about Nicole Kidman's face? "

Ivy Kennedy is a new generation of the Kennedy family, and Bell and her friendship are obviously quite good. Elsa couldn't help but feel a little envy in her heart: Although Bell looked radiant tonight, and the two dresses she wore were both first-tier high-end dresses, Elsa also had connections with luxury goods, and she was also confident that her appearance was not Losing to Bell, as for acting skills, let alone, Elsa's performances in Spain can kill her in seconds - if there is anything she is inferior to Bell, it is her identity as a white American, because she was born in In the United States, Bell has gained worldwide fame, and the connections she has accumulated in Hollywood over the years are incomparable to her. Elsa is really envious of her appearance in everything on the set, like a fish in water. Especially her marriage contract with Georgia Lansing made Elsa feel that the gap between the two sides was so big that she could hardly catch up.

"Oh, you have to admit, Penny," Bell said with a smirk, "she's getting less and less box office, but more and more Botox on her face, isn't she?"

Penelope also giggled softly, and Elsa was about to say a few clever words, but at this moment, fans screamed faintly from the direction of the entrance of the party, Occasionally, there were shouts from reporters, "Jennifer, Jennifer!"

——Although tonight, the arrival of each star has stirred up commotion outside the arena, but such a huge scream was never heard by Elsa before, and both she and Penelope were attracted by it for a while She looked towards the entrance of the banquet hall, while Elsa sneaked in and looked at Penelope and Jennifer Bell suspiciously. There are too many Jennifers in Hollywood, she can't hold the Jennifer who is coming now, is it Jennifer Aniston, or Jennifer Hudson, Jennifer Jefferson, or Jennifer Garner , in Spain, of course Jennifer Jefferson is the most famous, but in Hollywood, she doesn't know who is more popular.

Penelope's expression is mixed with a touch of jealousy and deep envy, which makes her beautiful face shrouded in a layer of helplessness. Jennifer Bell's expression is also complicated, her eyes are Walking around in the venue that had been silent for a while, Elsa couldn't help following her, scanning the celebrities and superstars—almost all of them stopped talking and looked at the door in unison.

Accompanied by unprecedented loud noises, surrounded by several staff members, a blonde girl walked into the venue with a smile on her face. She was wearing a simple white-gold dress, with short blonde hair hanging down her cheeks The edge made her face look extraordinarily small and her facial features more delicate. Although her footsteps are light, it can be said that she came here, but her arrival seemed to be amazing, attracting everyone's attention at once, and naturally ruled the audience—Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little surprised , but it wasn't that surprising: Jennifer Jefferson was so important, which surprised her, but she was the most popular Jennifer, which made her take it for granted.

"Jennifer!" Leonardo was the first to enthusiastically break the brief silence. He walked forward with a smile, and gave her a hug. Of course, beside him was Christopher Hanks . The former lovers shook hands and greeted each other in a friendly manner. Jon Landau and Kevin Riley, who followed them, were more enthusiastic and familiar with Jennifer. Jennifer smiled and said a few words - Judging from the expressions, not only are the two sides very familiar, but in the hearts of these two people, Jennifer's status is higher than Leonardo and Christopher, the two leading niches in Hollywood, In addition to the kindness of acquaintances, their attitude towards Jennifer has obvious respect, and it can even be said that there is a sense of reverence and hospitality.

Before I had time to be surprised by this, Tony Gilroy, the elegant middle-aged man who had been a little stern all night, had already walked forward with a smile on his face, and warmly greeted Jennifer Jeff Sen opened his arms, and Elsa suddenly found that the audience was full of shouts of "Jennifer", Rob Marshall, the new director of Oscar, Johnny Depp, the most popular actor in Hollywood - even It's the Coen Brothers, the big directors who almost won the Oscar for Best Director, Cameron Diaz, Natalie Portman, these big figures stepped forward one by one, and with Jenny Fu greeted each other familiarly or unfamiliarly. The corner where Elsa and the others were standing was very close to the door, and she even heard a few words from the Coen Brothers, "Your performance in "Michael Clayton" completely captivated us..."

If just now Jennifer Bell still showed a feeling of being proud and at ease, and seemed to have the demeanor of a popular star, then now, under the starlight of Jennifer Jefferson, her radiance It has been completely covered in the past. When the Oscar's "one and a half" actress, the new Venice actress appeared, it was like a black hole, steadily attracting everyone's attention, whether it was an actor or an actress, All looked dim under her presence. Although she herself has a warm smile and a humble attitude, even so, almost all the topics in the venue now probably carry the word "Jennifer".

"It seems that the news in the tabloids is completely a rumor, she looks refreshed, sober and rational."

"I heard that she played "Monroe" in Europe, but why does she still look so thin? This girl is crazy, Monroe's arms are not as slender as hers."

"Did you see the look on her face when she was talking to Christopher? I bet they're going to get back together soon."

"It's crazy. A film like "Michael Clayton" can get 50 million box office - it's more than 100 million in the world!"

"She won't get her second Oscar for Best Actress so soon, right? If that happens, it's simply too unfair."

"It's really hard to say, maybe it depends on Cate Blanchett's face—or, conversely, Cate Blanchett sees her face."

"Everything depends on the decision of the judges... The world has long been crazy, and she will appear in a commercial film in May, have you heard? It is a second-line hero of Marvel—they just organized A screening, and the critics raved about it—and now they say that even a second-tier hero can make a big hit with her in it.”

"Looks like I'm going to have to buy some Marvel stock—by the way, what about that big production she's in? The James Cameron one."

"It's still in post-production. Do you know why Jon Landau was so polite to her just now? Because the girl also participated in the investment--100 million and five dollars, they said, her intuition gave She reminded, so she smashed so much..."

Amidst the tuts, Elsa passed through the crowd and walked back to Penelope: she went to the bathroom, and she heard countless gossip about Jennifer Jefferson during the journey , this girl firmly occupied everyone's attention, with her as the center, the largest small group gathered in the audience, superstars and famous directors can be seen everywhere in it, and those small groups that did not step forward to join are also there. Discussing about her. Her new romance, her chances of winning an award, her investments, her new accomplishments—she had the feeling that while most of the people in this room achieved things that their peers would envy and envy, these professions The elite still talk about Jennifer Jefferson in a tone of admiration. Of course, there are sour words and derogatory opinions, but even these opinions have a natural sense of admiration. These people do not belittle Jennifer's achievements at all I mean, even the meanest guests are just using the tone of 'how can she be so troublesome', telling the sensation she caused at the Venice Film Festival, cursing "My Week with Monroe" by the way, hoping that Be her Waterloo - but even if Elsa just happened to hear it passing by, she could hear the uncertainty in the tone, obviously, although she kept saying 'playing Monroe doesn't put on weight, finding a new director is crazy ', but the lady herself did not believe that "Monroe" would become Jennifer's Waterloo.

"Where are Georgia and Bell?" She looked around.

"I tried to get close to Jennifer Jefferson in the past." Penelope said, her tone was also a little sour. "Bell used to be Cesare Vijari's client. After Jefferson got the actress, she seized this relationship and tried every means to hug the other's thigh. Unfortunately, Jefferson didn't want to talk to her. If you want me to say, Bell doesn't like her that much either, you should have seen her face just now——When Georgia Lansing was going to take her to greet her, Bell's expression was wonderful."

Although the tone revealed disdain for Georgia and Bell who are good at drilling, it can be seen that Penelope is also very envious that they can find a relationship with Jennifer Jefferson. She pointed out from a distance Looking at the blonde girl in the crowd, "If you can make friends with her, Elsa, don't hesitate, believe me, as long as you can make friends with her, you will never worry about filming—"

"This is the first time I saw her," Elsa asked curiously. She also attended many warm-up parties. "Didn't she attend the previous eve party at all?"

"Not a single one," Georgia walked back with Bell at some point, and it can be seen from their expressions that they couldn't get in the conversation just now - Bell's tone was worse than Penelope's To be sour, "She is completely absent this awards season, and there is not even an invitation to a brand eve party that can impress our miracle girl. In her opinion, only this party tonight is qualified for her to come..."

Although her sourness was obvious at a glance, Belle's words did not attract rebuttals from Georgia and Penelope-it seems that in their eyes, it was really a matter of course that Jennifer was not invited to the previous party. Really, there is only this blue blood party hosted by the official Oscar, which is good enough to please her.

"I heard that she will release a new work in a few months." She said, learning and selling the news she just heard, "The industry's evaluation seems to be quite good."

As soon as the words were out of her mouth, she received a wink from Penelope. Elsa realized that she had said something wrong, but it was too late, and a dark cloud immediately covered Jennifer Bell's beautiful face— — Obviously, Jennifer Jefferson's success was not a pleasant topic for her.

Elsa's heart tightened immediately: She doesn't mind offending Jennifer Bell. It's always difficult for female stars to make friends, but if this affects her plan to make friends with Georgia, then it's too bad luck.

She was lucky——just as she was racking her brains to find a way to ease her cheeks, the crowd around Jennifer Jefferson dispersed a little bit, and the girl seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light from head to toe, The girl who made it difficult to see her face clearly happened to see Elsa and a group of people. She smiled and stretched out her hand, a little condescending, as if she was waving to Jennifer Bell and his wife with the pity and nobility of the superiors. , signaling them to go over. And just now Bell, who was unhappy because Elsa said something nice about Jefferson, immediately put on a bright smile on his face, and even Georgia Lansing, who has always been handsome, seemed to Elsa Somewhat flattered, they just greeted Penelope and Elsa in a hurry, then walked over in a hurry, and couldn't wait to integrate into the "pro-guard" around Jennifer Jefferson...

The two Spanish female stars looked at each other, but neither of them spoke. She doesn't mind this, in fact, she has been secretly thinking that she will surpass this girl one day, the more annoying Bell is, the more pleasure she will have when surpassing her, but Jennifer Jefferson... ...She didn't know what Penelope thought. For her, although Jennifer Jefferson was elegant and generous, looking at her demeanor made Elsa feel a little hopeless—she was so unattainable Even to the point where she couldn't even think of catching up, and this feeling of shame was undoubtedly very bitter and strange to Elsa, who was used to calling the shots in Spain...

After a while, Penelope also seemed to have recovered from her vain thoughts. She took a glass of champagne from the waiter, cleared her throat, and broke the silence.

"I'm going to go there too, how about you?"

Elsa took a breath, straightened her back, and made herself look more radiant, "Of course, let's go."

#

It is surprising that although Jennifer Jefferson has achieved such impressive achievements in Hollywood and climbed to a shockingly high position at the age of 27, she herself is humble, low-key, wealthy Upbringing is different from the rumored image of her on the verge of a mental breakdown with a honeyed belly and a sword in her belly. She is humorous and funny, and she seems to be far away from a mental breakdown. Although Elsa didn't talk to her a few words, she left a very good impression on her. She secretly hoped that she would have the opportunity to cooperate with Jennifer Jefferson. Whether it was a colleague or a boss, she seemed to be a good person. Very good partner. And Elsa has to admit that she likes Jefferson much more than Jennifer Bell, who is also a typical Hollywood white blonde actress.

Of course, this may be because she thinks she still has a chance to catch up with Bell, and Jefferson, after the preliminary understanding last night, in Elsa's eyes, she is already unattainable-for potential competition Or, people always don't like it that much, and since she thinks that she has no chance of catching up with Jefferson, then, after adjusting her mood, Elsa can appreciate her strengths, even in the halo Under the effect, ignore her shortcomings.

"Honey." She yelled at Adrian in the kitchen, "Come on, the important awards are about to be awarded."

Although she did not attend the Oscars, she will not miss the most important awards of the year in Hollywood. Elsa watched the red carpet alone (as an actress, she could not miss this part), and then let Adrian call and take a nap The first half of the awards ceremony was muddled, but now, the Best Supporting Actress award is about to be awarded, which also means that the important awards stage is about to begin, and she knows that the part Adrian is concerned about has come.

"Cate Blanchett, "I'm Not There", Ruby Tie, "American Gangster"..." Alan Yakin, the last Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, slowly read the nomination list, "and The Oscar will be awarded to..."

He opened the envelope, made a surprised face, and then announced loudly with a smile, "Cate Blanchett - I'm Not There, Bob Dylan! Congratulations on playing a man and getting it Best Supporting Actress Award!"

Among bursts of laughter, Cate Blanchett stood up radiantly and walked onto the podium, while Adrian also rushed into the living room, grabbing a handful of microwave explosions. Popcorn.

"Holycrap——" he said with a sigh, "I have already won the double mention—is it possible to double the double mention this year? This is impossible!"

This year, Cate Blanchett is also nominated twice in one session, but compared with Jennifer Jefferson in 2006, her supporting actress nomination is more natural, and she deserves the award: her The performance skills have long been certified, and it is indeed amazing enough.

However, if it is the previous year, there may be a double nomination phenomenon, because the Actors Association has to vote for four awards. Out of some natural vote splitting psychology, very few voted for Kate as the best actress. I will vote her for Best Supporting Actress. Since the 1980s, double nominations are likely to fail. Only in Jennifer Jefferson's session, the judges went crazy and gave both awards to the young actor. While creating the biggest female movie star of this century, it also left a big stain on Oscar's credibility— —Sometimes, out of some considerations, Oscar will actively create stars, for example, to give some new actresses the honor of Oscar nominations to help them go more smoothly on their star journey. For example, Ellen Page, her Oscar nomination has the consideration of supporting newcomers, but in any case, it is too unreasonable to give a filmmaker who has just starred in her first literary film an Oscar, and if she gives it back, she will get two Oscars. up.

However, that year was good because the most controversial one was Best Supporting Actress. For Best Actress, Jennifer Jefferson still had her voice. The situation of Cate Blanchett is different this year. She has indeed been winning Best Supporting Actress in the Sentinel Awards. This award is not too much for her. Among the five candidates for the leading role, Ellen Page is here to gain reputation, so don’t worry about it. Marion Cotillard’s film was released in early 2007, and only won a few insignificant awards. Let's check the qualifications. Julie Christie has a good momentum before the awards season, but there is no important award in the entire awards season, only a few small awards, which is very unpopular. In the outpost awards, Cate Blanchett is almost the same as Jennifer. Jefferson shared all the best actress together. So she is the most popular best actress candidate in the pre-award prediction——

Now she has won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. In other words, this year's Oscar, if it is not for Cate Blanchett's double nomination, then after Jennifer Jefferson won it once in 2006, only Winning Best Actress again after a year?

Although she seems to have a strong background, even if she is the biological daughter of Oscar's statuette, it is too much to win the Best Actress after a year, isn't it? As for Cate Blanchett’s double mentions and double wins, this may also be unacceptable. Oscar is everyone’s playground, and such an obvious bias will make all players have the urge to flip the table: an Oscar is already very valuable Now, if you are always engaged in wholesale, what does this make those actors who have struggled to get an Oscar think? This is a very obvious self-depreciation...

After Adrian rushed back to the kitchen to get a pot of popcorn, he never left the living room again. He threw his mobile phone and game console aside. The supporting actor, both he and Elsa watched absent-mindedly, and the good-looking awards ceremony actually had the same suspense as a TV series—in the eager anticipation of this couple, they finally looked forward to the last actor Frey Sturt Whittaker, listen to him talking about the list of candidates.

"Cate Blanchett, "Elizabeth: The Golden Age."

——Kate, who just got the statuette, smiled and waved to the camera, kissed the statuette, with a free and easy look, as if she didn't think she would win another Oscar.

"Marion Cotillard, La Vie en Rose."

Marion smiled at the camera with a demure demeanor, and she seemed to understand that she and Oscar seemed close, but in fact they were far away.

"Ellen Page, "Juno."

Ellen laughed and waved her hands desperately, with a cute and over-excited appearance, and her appearance also aroused a burst of loving chuckles: Although no one thought she would win the award, but because of "Juno", Allen's star journey is going smoothly, and he has become the most anticipated and promising new star among his peers.

"Julie Christie, "The Willows Are Bright."

The elderly Julie was even more indifferent. She just nodded and calmly accepted the applause from the people around her.

"Jennifer Jefferson, Michael Crichton."

Karen's gloomy and resentful expression appeared on the big screen. This superb performance won a burst of applause from the audience. However, when the big camera cut to Jennifer Jefferson, it was in stark contrast to Karen's image. When she was older, she was calm as usual, as if she wasn't ready to win an award. ——Although everyone is an actor, every year when the awards are presented, the actors who have high hopes of winning the award will inevitably show a disturbed expression. Preparing to be a 'gracious loser' is, indeed, rather rare.

"If Kate hadn't won the award just now, Kate would definitely not be like this now." Adrian commented with a smile, and then hurriedly urged, "Oh, hurry up, Whittaker, stop talking nonsense ——"

Amidst his anxious chanting, Forrester also ended his speech, "...they all deserve our respect and applause."

Among the polite applause, he opened the envelope and moved closer to the microphone. In the silence of the audience and the breathless anticipation of everyone in front of the TV, he said, "——"
