King of Hollywood Chapter 181: Revisit Oscar (4)
After Neil Jordan delivered his speech on stage, the applause was heard again. Compared with before he took the stage, the applause was much purer. Even the three previously noisiest crews on Adrian were applauding congratulations.
However, after applauding, Monica still complained in the ear of Adrian: "I don't understand why they gave him the best original screenplay "Pulp Fiction", which is worse than "The Crying Game"? You know, Many people say that the structure of "Pulp Fiction" is very good. Isn't this one of the criteria for judging?"
This long string of sentences spit out of her mouth, and suddenly made Adrian a little surprised.
"Before that, you didn't speak much, what made you open the conversation box, Monica?" Adrian looked at the **** girl around her with interest, with a hint of ridicule in her tone.
"Because I croaked for you," Monica immediately gave him a grumpy look.
"Okay, okay, thank you, but it’s okay, it’s just a screenwriter award." Adrian chuckled and squeezed her hands from the back and gently squeezed her waist, "It looks like this paragraph You have learned a lot of time, and you can tell the quality of the film structure. Should I congratulate you?"
"I'm not a vase, Ed." Monica looked away from the stage and sighed in a slightly imperceptible voice after a few seconds: "I don't want to make a vase."
Adrian shrugged and squeezed a few hands from the back of the chair on her waist, he looked at her side and whispered: "You will not be a vase, Monica , As long as I am there."
Then, when Monica turned her head back, she took her hand back and looked at the stage with a voice that everyone around could hear saying, "I’m tangled with this again. I still look forward to the next award. Right."
The seniority is really important. Although Neil Jordan was nominated for the Oscars for the first time, he has been a screenwriter for ten years. In addition to being a screenwriter, he has also been a director, and has made great achievements in some film festivals. . In contrast, Adrian is only two years into the movie world. Although it has made surprising achievements in these two years, it has not reached the point where the judges can ignore other people, so the best original It is understandable that the script fell into the hands of Neil Jordan.
Of course, there is another factor here. If it’s not Adrian that has nominated two best adapted scripts, I believe that the best original script will definitely be his. After all, "Pulp Fiction" will have an impact on future movies in many places. . Unfortunately, there are two nominations for the best adapted script, and they are both very good. If they are not awarded to him, they will definitely be blamed. So the judges considered and considered the past and let him lose on the best original script.
Yes, this is balancing. Don’t think that Oscar won’t do balancing. It’s just that they are very skilled most of the time. Many times they are not sure they are really balancing. Of course, this is too deliberate this evening. I believe most people can see it, but there is no better way for the judges.
If both awards are awarded to Adrian, why are there so many excellent screenwriters with more than ten years of qualification in Hollywood? If the best adapted script is not awarded to Adrian, it is even more unfair on the basis of two nominations. The two evils have the right to take light, so they simply took away the best original script, anyway, every year the Oscar has such a thing. However, I am afraid that there are not many people in Hollywood who can make them go back and forth so they have to make a choice.
Anyway, it’s not to lose to "Unforgivable". Besides, in this way, the best director with double nomination is more confident. Adrian thought so. Although he hasn't paid much attention on the surface, he has unconsciously regarded Eastwood's "Unforgivable" as the biggest opponent of this year's Oscar.
Unfortunately, he didn’t wait too long to be happy, and the guests on the stage announced that "Unforgivable" had the best editing.
Adrian's brows frowned into a Chuan character and then smoothed out, and then clapped and seemed to be generously applauded and congratulated. However, although it was only a few seconds, Monica around him noticed the change in his expression and immediately grasped his hand again.
"Fortunately, there is only one award to be nominated next, otherwise my hand will definitely be swollen by you." Adrian said humorously, but it was Monica's glance.
"It's justifiable to say that the script has failed, but the editing shouldn't be lost to other movies anyway." She said angrily, very uncomfortable, and immediately attracted the people around her.
"Indeed, "Unforgivable" is a good movie, but in the editing, it is a lot worse than "Pulp Fiction"? Isn't "Pulp Fiction" most praised for its structure?" an assistant said. .
"It's not surprising that Oscar sometimes just likes to live with most people." Travolta said teasingly.
"I can expect that someone will attack this decision tomorrow." Willis also inserted.
Then there are more and more people discussing. If it’s not Pasino and Hopkins who are too far away, they may add up too. Adrian quickly came forward to stop them: "Okay, guys , I already have a little gold man, and there is a more important nomination behind. If you can get it, it doesn’t matter if the best editing is given to them."
Everyone was just complaining about Adrian. Since he has said so and it is true, the weight of the best director is much heavier than the best editing anyway, so stop talking and pay attention again. Put it on the stage.
Adrian glanced at Monica again, and the uneven expression between the **** girls’ eyebrows still did not dissipate. He laughed quietly in his heart, and then whispered again: "Look, Monica, there are unfairness everywhere, so don't need to be too nervous."
A little embarrassment flashed in Monica’s eyes, but she calmed down and smiled: "I believe."
Adrian didn’t speak anymore, although this time it was obviously a bit of a performance element-Monica’s acting skills 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 defeat of the best editing is really unfair. As the assistant said before, the most praised feature of "Pulp Fiction" is the structure, and the structure is reflected in the editing. If it is said that losing in the best original script is barely excusable, but the best editing... Is it because you are the nominee?
Qualification is really important. Adrian hummed softly in his heart. But in this way, I should go one step further from the best director. After all, it was two nominations.
Though thinking about it, he was still uneasy. The best director and best editing and best original script are different after all, and lack of qualifications is still a big problem.
Shake his head gently. Adrian focused his attention on the singing and dancing programs that are being performed on the stage. Anyway, the main thing is the two awards, as long as those two get the other ones, it is not a problem.
"It's such a beautiful singing voice that I was so moved that I almost thought of the front desk to sing." Christo began to pose on the stage again, and the audience at the scene laughed again and again.
"Unfortunately, this is not the time, because the most important moment tonight is coming. Want to know what it is?" His expression became extremely serious, and suddenly he smiled again after two or three seconds: "I don’t Tell you."
Immediately, boos.
"Okay, okay, can't you just watch it yourself?" Christo rolled his eyes and flicked his hands to the background, and a few seconds later, Judy Foss, the best actress winner last year Te had already walked to the front desk with an envelope. A white women's suit made him look heroic.
If you can’t guess what prize will be awarded next, the people present may be stupid. All kinds of sounds suddenly sounded, and Pasino sitting not far from Adrian is a few The second class changed several poses.
"For an actor, the most important thing is the best male and female protagonist, which is not only a recognition of his acting skills, but also a great honor. I’m glad that the jury asked me to award this award, although it is destined to be Four people were disappointed, but please don’t be discouraged, you are still great.” Judy Foster talked happily with the envelope, and immediately aroused warm applause. He was worthy of Yale’s talent.
"So, let's take a look at the list first," Judy said and turned to look at the nearby big screen, ""Scent of a Woman~IndoMTL.com~Al? Pacino; "Chaplin", small Robert Downey; "The Crying Game", Stephen Ray; "Pulp Fiction", John Travolta; "Unforgivable", Clint Eastwood."
Although Pacino seemed to be sitting firmly on the seat at this time, Judy stared closely at the stage, his lips splayed into a line, and his eyes were round with the spirit of Lieutenant Colonel Frank. He has won 6 nominations before and after, plus two of this time is 8 times, and has lost the best supporting actor before, now if the best actor is lost, it would be too sad.
The opponents Robert Downey Jr. and Stephen Ray are too far apart, and nothing can be seen on the screen, but Clint Eastwood not far away squints, two Jianmei pressed against the middle, even in a suit, he could not conceal his unwillingness to lose. It was indeed an old cowboy.
The most lingering son alone is John Travolta. He doesn’t care about it. It is good for him to have a nomination. If he can get it, he will be awarded the grand prize.
In this atmosphere, Adrian couldn’t help getting nervous. Although he knew that Pacino had a great advantage, he also believed that he showed the essence of “Scent of a Woman”, but he couldn’t fully understand it until the result came out. Peace of mind, will everything be the same? can you? ()
