"It's a pity. I always thought Naomi would get the best supporting actress." Sophie whispered as Adrian sat back on the stage.
Although several women of similar age are quite different for various reasons, their relationship is generally harmonious. No wonder Sophie said so. As for Natalie, they all know a little bit about the twisted relationship between Adrian and her, but they don't want to understand it, because nobody makes a fuss about Playboy chasing women.
"After that, it doesn't matter." Adrian laughs disapprovingly. Since he was the award guest, Naomi and Natalie's chances of winning the prize have dropped to the lowest level.
The film academy doesn't want to see places that are too easy to be criticized. Although there are more places to criticize, they can never be less pretentious. However, from this point of view, Adrian's conjecture should be correct. The senior management of the College Council knows more or less about the voting situation, which may not be very specific, but it is probably absolutely clear.
It's just that some things can go more smoothly, even if they just add to his plan.
Well, back to the whole, Sophie would say that for another reason.
"Don't worry. Watch." Adrian patted the back of her hand, and Sophie's face turned red. No doubt, he saw her mind.
Look at Blanchett on the other side, though listening to Marcia gay harden on the stage. However, the slightly curved corners of her mouth seemed meaningful, and Sophie could not help but feel a little annoyed. Adrian immediately took her hand. Although his eyes were focused on the stage, the warm feeling from the palms made Sophie relax a little, so she finally just had a little awkward cough.
Adrian understands Sophie's feelings, thinks about her long-term desire, and then thinks about his achievements in recent years, so the closer the goal is, the easier it is to worry about gains and losses. In this case, Adrian just comforted her with his movements. Language can't help much. It's better to let her hold back for a while, and then use facts to prove that her worries are wrong.
Yes, at this time, he can basically be so sure to speak, in order to put Sophie in the best actress position, in addition to those advantages mentioned before, Adrian also made some efforts in other aspects. For example --
"two soldiers!" When the winners read out their names, the audience burst into regular applause, while Sophie, beside Adrian, seemed a little lost, and then the anxious look between her eyebrows became more and more.
"That's a good thing, Sophie," Adrian grabbed her hand and squeezed it. He gave her a reassuring smile, "trust me, wait and see."
Sophie opened her mouth, but said nothing but nodded her head slightly. Once again, some calm was restored.
It's no surprise that "the supermarket sleepless" did not win the best short film. Although "two soldiers" seems a bit lengthy, in Adrian's opinion, the content of 40 minutes can be cut off in half, but who let this short film tell the story of World War II is love, loyalty and responsibility. Even if the ordinary people who don't sleep in the supermarket can't resonate more easily.
It's not to say that a short film that has won an award is bound to win a prize, not to mention that Alan Schneider, the director of the two soldiers, is a real American.
Sophie's biggest drawback is that she is French, and the film academy has always preferred her native people, not to mention that she has taken the green card. Even if you become a citizen, it will take a long time to erase this from people's minds. Former best actress, Gwyneth and Julia are Americans. Nicole is Australian, but Australia is easier to integrate into the cultural circle of the United States than other countries. As can be seen from the Australian group in Hollywood, Blanchett is also because of this, coupled with Adrian's public relations and creating a situation in which two films compete at the same time And Nicole was born in Honolulu.
The most troublesome is Monica, but don't forget that in the Hollywood circle, the Italian people headed by Scorsese also have a lot of say. In this regard, Adrian should not have stepped in last year to snipe out the best director Scorsese is determined to win. These, together with Weinstein's public relations ability, and the full cooperation of AC media, have sent Monica up. However, some people still say that she has won disgrace.
Then, in Hollywood circles, is there anything French about?
It seems very difficult, but it's not that there is no hope at all. The previous articles about Fahrenheit 911 have not been mentioned, and Weinstein's ability has also not been mentioned. There is another place -
"it's time to finally come again. Every time, it's so exciting and envious Oh, I'm sorry. I mean the back one, not the front one. " Christo made a mistake and immediately caused a lot of laughter.
After a few technical awards and more important screenplay Awards - no doubt, the Lord of the rings: the return of the king - the award ceremony finally ushered in the final award, the most important SEG award. The first to bear the brunt was the best actress, and Sophie began to get nervous when Cristo announced on stage.At this point, Adrian is more relaxed. As the awarding guests begin to introduce the nomination list, the choices will be listed one by one on the screen. In addition to Sophie's and Kate's nominations for "a life of roses" and "warmth and light inside", there are Samantha Morton of the new American dream, Katrina Sandino Moreno of wanfumaria and Judy Madsen of here.
In other people's eyes, the nomination is OK, but they do not know that the list is made by Adrian himself. At least two women would have been on the list if he hadn't stepped in. Diane Keaton, who has a good performance in love is compromise, is as good as in Julie and Julia Meryl Streep.
However, Wan Fu Maria, an independent film about a girl who smuggles drugs, should attend the Sundance Film Festival in January this year, and then get a certain degree of praise and popularity. Only last year, when it was finished, it was favored by universal's focus film industry, which is responsible for the distribution of independent films. Then it was quickly released at the end of the year and was able to participate in this year's Oscar Lina Sandino Moreno has also been nominated for best actress thanks to focus's efforts.
As for here, which depicts American families in the 1950s and 1960s from the perspective of a woman, it was released by Timon pictures, although it seemed to be an independent film company. But in fact, his relationship with Miramax was so complicated that Judy Madsen, the leading actor, also won a nomination.
So on the nomination list, Kate and Samantha are British, Katrina Colombian, and very young. Only Judy Madsen is American, but this is her first nomination. you 're right. All are the means used by Adrian, trying to get some actresses who are not likely to win awards to be nominated and squeeze out the threatening ones, which naturally leaves Sophie with more leeway.
Otherwise, even though "Julie and Julia" is a wintry plot movie, perhaps Streep would have won the second best actress in advance - so did Diane Keaton - so it was necessary. It's not easy. Fortunately, after mobilizing countless resources, the final result basically met his requirements, although Adrian paid a lot of costs. Sophie was worth it.
In addition to the foreshadowing of "Fahrenheit 911" and Weinstein's hard work in public relations, as well as Sophie's several Oscar nominations, the result was not so cold.
"Sophie Marceau!" When the name comes out. There was an uproar, and Sophie covered her mouth with disbelief. She was even at a loss and finally got what she had been looking forward to for a long time. The strong sense of unreal enveloped her and made her not know what to do.
"Go up, Sophie." Adrian gave a little push, and the applause came out.
"Good OK Sophie stood up, still in a trance. Even a timid look at Adrian, until the stage to take over the little golden man, how much to stabilize the mood.
"Sorry, I'm..." She took a deep breath. "I didn't think that I would really stand here one day, even though I had many dreams. When I read my name just now, I even thought I was dreaming. I even said to myself in my heart," Sophie, are you sure it's your name, not your namesake? "
Low and then there was a good laugh.
"Thank you," Sophie wiped her eyes. "Thank you, Academy of film, for giving me this award, for all the people in the" rose life "crew, for supporting my friends, and for Adrian, thank you for the opportunity. I can finally prove it. I finally use this proof... "
Sophie on the stage became choked again. She pursed her mouth and tried to control herself, but the corners of her mouth kept shaking and her eyes became more and more red. Finally, she let out a sob. Although she lowered her head and covered her mouth for the first time, everyone heard it clearly. The strong trembling shoulders also clearly expressed sophina's feelings. After decades of delay, she was finally affirmed, and then she wept with joy.
Adrian stood up without hesitation and began to clap his hands. Driven by him, people around him also stood up, and then many people stood up. No matter because of Adrian's face or because of the crowd effect, everyone in the hall stood up and applauded Sophie.
"Thank you, thank you again, and thank you Ms. Piaf, "said the tearful Sophie holding the golden man in her hand," I once doubted whether I could play the role well, but Ms. piaff's experience always inspired me to face it and strive for it. "
Finally, she took a deep look at Adrian below: "if I have anything else to say, there is only one word, which is what Ms. Piaf said to the female reporter at the seaside in the movie - love!"
With that, Sophie raised the corner of her skirt and bowed deeply. The warm applause rang out again. When she stepped off the stage. Although he covered his mouth with his hand again, the tears in his eyes fell down uncontrollably. When he came to Adrian, he hugged him tightly, buried his head on his shoulder and sobbed in a low voice.Adrian also didn't care about the appearance of the surrounding, gently patted her on the back, so that after several seconds, Sophie controlled her mood.
"Sorry, ed After releasing her hand, she said this, and then hugged Blanchett next to her. And Blanchett hugged her for a few seconds. Then, she hugged other people in turn, and then she sat back to her position. Although the applause was not big, it never stopped.
"Sorry, ed Sophie said that again.
"Never mind," Adrian said with a smile. "Remember what I said before?"
Then she raised her index finger to her mouth before Sophie said, "don't worry. We have plenty of time tonight. "
On the stage, the best actor is about to be announced, Sophie also did not speak, but there are tears in the eyes with unspeakable gratitude, holding Adrian's hand more tightly.
The winner of the best actor did not surprise Adrian. It was still Sean Penn of the mysterious river. Hollywood's famous bad boy. Some people are so unlucky. Although Tom Cruise has tried his best to express himself in the last samurai, it is a pity that Watanabe has been nominated for the best supporting actor, but he has failed.
All right. Not to mention this, Sean Penn, who went up to receive the award, was very happy. Although he was known for his unruly and daring to shoot at the media with helicopters, everyone would sooner or later become mature. If he could get the best actor, it would be considered that the film academy began to mature towards him. Or an affirmation of compromise.
But Clint Eastwood, the next one, is not very good, for the simple reason that, throughout the history of the Oscars, there are very few works that have won the performance award, the director award and the best film at the same time. In addition to the best actor for Sean Penn and the best supporting actor for Tim Robbins in "the mysterious River", the hope of winning the best director and best film is very slim.
At other times, the old man may be confident that he can fight for it. But with Adrian, a pervert who has been nominated for best director and best film for several consecutive times, it's hard for him to have much confidence. Although they are both referees and players - Eastwood has been a member of the film academy from actor to director, and has a wide range of contacts in Hollywood, Adrian's power and resources are far from comparable. This is always a country where money is supreme.
So, just like Sophie's best actress, before attending the award ceremony, Adrian would ask every aspect and every link to be the last, but after entering the Kodak Theater, he calmed down. It was his own, it must be his own!
"Well, gentlemen, it's time for the last moment, and maybe, tonight, there will be miracles that we haven't seen before." "Of course, when I say the word miracle, it really means a simple miracle. There is no other hint. I promise, absolutely not. Please believe me!"
Everyone knew what he was talking about. Adrian shrugged and looked at the stage with a decent smile until --
"Lord of the rings: the return of the king, Adrian Cowell!"
Good! When the little ring of "Wang Li" is waved, the tone of "Shu" rings gently. Although he has participated in numerous Oscars and knows that he has the highest possibility of winning the prize, as he said to reporters, no one can guarantee that he will be the winner until the last moment. From this point of view, the business operation of Oscar is really excellent.
After he got up, people around him began to say congratulations. Although Sophie was a little tied up because of her previous enthusiasm, Blanchett, Monica and liv didn't have so many concerns. They hugged each other one by one, which immediately attracted many people's attention.
Adrian stepped onto the stage, took the golden man of the best director and coughed softly into the microphone. Then he took a small piece of paper from his coat pocket, frowned and glanced at it. Then he stammered: "this Thank you Well I'm sorry, I can't read that word very well. "
There was a burst of laughter below.
"Well, I said it shouldn't have been prepared in advance." Adrian immediately turned the paper over, and the camera shot in the past. There was a blank on it, and the laughter immediately increased.
"Frankly speaking, I can't remember the last time I won the best director trophy. Thanks to the Academy, I can feel it again, although Oh, my poor matrix, you're never fit for this kind of scene. " Adrian sighed as he installed the mold, which caused a burst of laughter again.
