Waiting patiently until the applause stopped, Billy Crystal said: "So, Hollywood is a place full of dreams, whether you are not yet 20 years old, or over 80 years old, as long as you are really talented and willing to work hard, you will definitely be recognized." ”

There was another round of applause, and many people turned their eyes to Eric's side, no doubt that Billy Christo's phrase 'not yet twenty years old' was referring to Eric, and the camera lens also shifted to Eric's side in accordance with the will of the people.

Eric clapped his hands quietly, a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and responded to it.

Billy Christo finished his speech, invited another group of award presenters, and left the stage.

After a few inconsequential awards again, another Hollywood legend actress Jane Fonda appeared on the stage, and Eric couldn't help but sit up straight, because the next two awards are the two most important awards for him at this Oscars, although Eric directed four films this year, and Firefly also declared Best Director for the two films "Pretty Woman" and "Dark War", but they were not nominated.

Therefore, the two Best Screenplay awards won by Eric Tónguò "Island Cry" and "Smell a Woman" have become the two most important nominations he has received at this Oscar.

Jane Fonda, who was born into an acting family, is the same age as Morgan Freeman, but she looks like she is in her forties on the outside, and the black slim gown gives the actress a vague hint of the charm of her youth.

"This year is undoubtedly a bumper year for Hollywood, not only did the total domestic box office exceed $5 billion for the first time, but also. There are also more excellent films emerging than in previous years. And no matter what movie is good. are inseparable from a good script. The script is the foundation of a film. So, let's take a look at the films that were nominated for the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Jane Fonda said, leaning slightly to the side and gesturing to the big screen before continuing: "The nominees for Best Adapted Screenplay are: "Driving for Miss Daisy", Alfred Ahari, and "The Enemy, A Love Story." Roger Simon, "Dreams Come True," Phil Alden Robinson, "My Left Foot," Jim Sheridan, "Smell a Woman," Eric Williams. ”

On the big screen, the shots of the five nominees appeared in turn, and Eric looked at the stage without blinking, although he repeatedly wanted to show that nothing happened, but in this situation, in this tense atmosphere. Eric's hand on his knee still clenched into a fist. Although the two awards of Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Original Screenplay are still not very popular compared with the last four awards. But compared to the previous technical awards for the inconsequential best soundtrack, these two awards are much more golden.

After Jane Fonda introduced the nominees, she didn't let the audience wait too long, quickly opened the envelope in her hand, glanced at it, and leaned close to the microphone and said: "The winner of the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay is: "Drive for Miss Daisy". ”

In the burst of applause, Eric chuckled in his heart, and had a strong sense of unhappiness in his heart, among the best screenplay nominations, "Smell the Woman" is the one most likely to win the award, after all, everyone knows that the theme of horror films is very unpopular with the Oscars, although I also thought about applying for the best original screenplay of "Sleepless in Seattle" or "Pretty Woman", after all, romance films are more likable than horror films, however, after thinking twice, Eric still decided to write for "Island Cry" applied for Best Original Screenplay, and abandoned "Sleepless in Seattle" and "Pretty Woman".

After all, the probability of a romance movie winning the best original screenplay is very low, and although "Island Cry" is a horror film, this script is undoubtedly much more exciting than traditional horror films, and the probability of winning awards is also higher than that of the other two romance movies, although the Oscars will not prohibit Eric from applying for the other two romance movies together, and the possibility of being nominated is not small, but that will only dilute the votes, making the chances of several scripts winning awards very low.

But Eric now finds that he has ignored another fact.

Whether it's Best Original Screenplay or Best Adapted Screenplay, it's the Writers Guild who votes, so after he was nominated for Best Screenplay for both "Smell a Woman" and "Island Cry", the screenwriter with the right to vote would vote for at least one of the two films, although considering that he had received two nominations, and it would be too anachronistic for all of his nominations to be disappointed. But Eric is also sure that most writers will not vote for two scripts at the same time, but will only choose one of the two scripts, "Smell a Woman" and "Island Cry".

This also means that although Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay are two different awards, the votes for these two awards are still split.

Then, there is no doubt that if the members of the Writers Guild are allowed to choose between the two, the more artistic achievement of "Smell the Woman" will definitely get more votes than "Island Horror", then, since "Smell the Fragrance of the Woman" failed to win the award, then the next "Island Horror" is even more hopeless.

With a sigh in his heart, Eric shook his head slightly, quickly retracted his expression, and set his eyes on the stage.

After Best Adapted Screenplay, Jane Fonda did not leave the stage, but went on to introduce the list of nominees for Best Original Screenplay: "The Oscar nominees for Best Original Screenplay are: "Dead Poets Society", Tom Schulman, "Crime and Wrong", Woody Allen, "Sex, Lies, and Videotape", Steven Soderbergh, "Island Cry", Eric Williams, "When Harry Meets Sally", Nora Epron. ”

Eric's face reappeared on the screen in the center of the stage, and even though many people in the scene could see him on the stage as soon as they looked up, many people still looked at the place where Eric was sitting.

There is no doubt that these people must have been aware of Eric's current situation, and it is unknown whether anyone is gloating.

Eric ignored the other inconsequential gazes, and just nodded at the few crew members around him who cast concerned glances and made a reassuring look. (To be continued......)
