Chapter 296: Oscar (I)

Eric pondered the similarities and differences between the three European screen images, and looked around for Isabel Adjani.

If it weren't for the Eric Butterfly Effect, the actress, who has won the CΓ©sar Award several times, would have met Daniel Day Lewis last year and was in love, but it's hard to say right now.

After a week of patrolling, Eric still hadn't found Isabel Adjani, and was poked in the waist by Virginia, who was sitting next to him: "Eric, Best Supporting Actress." ”

Eric quickly turned his attention to the stage, and at this time, the award presenter for Best Supporting Actress, Kevin Klein, had finished his words and began to introduce the list of actors nominated for Best Supporting Actress: "The nominees for Best Supporting Actress at this year's Oscars are Brenda Flick, "My Left Foot", Angelica Houston, "The Enemy, A Love Story", Lena Orin, "The Enemy, A Love Story", Julia Roberts, "Magnolia" and Diana West, "Warm Family". ”

The five Best Supporting Actress nominees appeared on the big screen behind him one by one with Kevin Klein's introduction, although the two Best Supporting Actress nominations for "Enemies, A Love Story" surprised Eric a little, but Eric paid more attention to Brenda 5β‰  Flick, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for "My Left Foot".

Because the film "My Left Foot" is the first very successful Olympic film operated by Miramax, it not only won five nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress and Best Adapted Screenplay. And. Eric distinctly remembers. Daniel Day Lewis also won his first Oscar for Best Actor for this film.

As for the results of the other awards, Eric is not too clear.

Therefore, the nomination for Best Supporting Actress in "My Left Foot" is undoubtedly the one that poses the greatest threat to Julia.

When the Oscar nominations were released this year, Eric was still in the midst of that turmoil, and he couldn't be distracted from the public relations of the awards, and Disney, who was distributing the film, was even more unlikely to do public relations for the film at that time, so . Now it remains to be seen whether Robert Shea, who has more than a decade of film distribution experience than the Weinstein brothers of Miramax, can beat the Weinstein brothers in terms of award public relations.

Eric looked at the picture of Julia on the big screen, the girl was staring nervously at the stage at this time, but her body was slightly tilted, Eric curiously found Julia's position and looked over, it turned out that the girl and Elizabeth next to him leaned together, Eric could also see the arms of the two girls holding each other through the gap in the seat, and the strange feeling when they met at the end of the red carpet before came to his mind.

But before Eric could think about it, Kevin Klein opened the envelope. It seems to be the same: "This year's Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actress is Julia Roberts." ”

The music and applause rang out at the same time, and Julia in the front row covered her mouth in surprise and leaned back in her chair. After a while, he stood up with the encouragement of the people around him, hugged the crew members of "Steel Magnolia" one by one, and walked towards the stage.

Although the girl didn't turn her head to look at herself during the whole process, Eric was not angry at all, but relieved in his heart.

At least this turned out to be no worse than the Weinstein brothers in terms of award PR.

Julia on the stage carefully held the little golden figure to finish her acceptance speech, and walked off the stage with the presenters, followed by a period of inconsequential technical awards.

Julia walked out of the backstage exit on the left side of the stage a few minutes later, and when she came to the crew, she finally glanced at Eric with a hint of gratitude in her eyes, and before Eric could respond, she saw a white arm pull the girl over, and then, Elizabeth turned her head and glared at Eric fiercely.

"Eric, have you done anything excessive, why do both Julia and Miss Elizabeth seem to have a problem with you?" asked Virginia, who had noticed the reaction of the two girls, softly.

Eric glared at Virginia dissatisfied, "Why do you say 'again', do I often do something excessive?"

Virginia rolled her eyes seductively, "What do you think?"

Eric clasped his hands together and clenched his fists, making a few soft clicks, "It seems that you have a problem with me, well, go to my place tonight, and we will discuss what all the 'excessive things' you talk about." ”

Virginia's face flushed when she heard Eric's words, but she didn't refute it, although she lived very close to Eric's Sharp Corner Manor, Virginia hadn't been there once so far.

When Eric first moved, the girl either went to her parents' place to celebrate the holidays together, or was running around promoting "Island Cry". After a short time, back in Los Angeles, Eric encountered the turmoil again.

Counting up, the two haven't been intimate for months. As a mature woman like a peach, to say that Virginia doesn't want it in her heart, it must be fake. However, because Eric had spoken first, and the girl's own career in Hollywood had just improved with "Island Cry", Virginia did not leave Eric's thoughts, in any case, although the little man around her was hateful at times, he was still very considerate in most cases.

With a series of technical awards such as best cinematography and best sound, the awards ceremony slowly came to a high point in the second half of the year.

After Tom Hanks and Melanie Griffiths presented the award for Best Cinematography, Gregory Peck, the famous actor of "Roman Holiday", took the stage.

Although Sigourney Weaver won the award for "Fog Lock" and "Working Girl" , won both Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress nominations at last year's Golden Globe Awards, but Eric is sure that this kind of thing is difficult to do at an awards ceremony at this level of the Oscars, not to mention that Julia is only twenty-three years old now, in this era when the Oscars are still relatively conservative, it is already very lucky to be able to win a Best Supporting Actress and be nominated for Best Actress at the same time, as for winning two awards at the same time, the probability of this kind of thing happening is even lower than the alien invasion.

With Eric's thoughts, Gregory Peck on stage has already introduced the five Best Actress nominations, in many previous reports, many media have predicted that this year's Oscar winner for Best Actress is likely to be Jessica Tandy, who has an outstanding performance in "Drive for Miss Daisy", the eighty-one-year-old high-collared actress was once called the "First Lady of Broadway", just from this title, you can get a glimpse of some clues of the other party's brilliant acting career.

Moreover, even without Jessica Tandy and without the Best Supporting Actress that Julia just won, Eric can be sure that Julia will not win this award, because there is another contender in the Best Actress nomination, and that is Isabel Adjani, in "Rodin's Lover" In this film, Isabel Adjani's performance is crazy, although Hollywood has always discriminated against foreign actors, but if it were not for the competition of a veteran actor with a brilliant resume like Jessica Tandy, the Academy would undoubtedly award this award to Isabelle Adjani.

On stage, Gregory Peck slowly opened the envelope and, in the nervous anticipation of everyone, read out the name that had not been much suspense since he took the stage instead of the last Best Actor Dustin Hoffman: "The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actress is: Jessica Tandy." ”

The applause rang out enthusiastically again, and a gray-haired old woman slowly stood up and stepped onto the award stage to the congratulations of the crew members of "Drive for Miss Daisy".

Eric also looked at the crew of "Drive for Miss Daisy" like everyone else, and his eyes were focused on Morgan Freeman, the actor of "Drive for Miss Daisy", a veteran Hollywood actor who began acting on stage at the age of eight, but his star career was extremely bumpy. It wasn't until 1987, at the age of fifty, that Morgan Freeman made a name for himself in Hollywood, and he can be described as Hollywood's most legendary 'inspirational brother'.

After Jessica Tandy's speech, she walked off the stage with the support of the guests.

The host Billy Crystal followed up on the stage, silently watching Jessica Tandy's figures disappear completely, Billy Crystal turned to the microphone, cleared his throat, and did not make any more gags, but said in a rare seriousness: "There is no doubt that "Drive for Miss Daisy" is a very good movie, and it has also made two very good actors, in addition to Ms. Jessica Tandy, who has just left, and Mr. Morgan Freeman, who is sitting in the audience. Mr. Morgan Freeman is 53 years old this year, and if you add the age of Ms. Jessica Tandy, then the average age of the duo is 67 years old, which is certainly the oldest in the history of the Oscars to win both the male and female lead roles. ”

After Billy Crystal finished speaking, the audience immediately remembered the applause full of respect, and although Morgan Freeman in the camera still maintained a precarious appearance, the excitement in his expression was difficult to hide, after all, from the beginning of his acting career to the final recognition, decades are indeed too long to be repeated.
