Although he didn't have any expectations for this award, Eric still had a little apprehension in his expression, but at the same time, he also comforted himself in his heart, anyway, he was still young, and it was not a good thing to get the award too early.

On the stage, after Jane Fonda introduced the nomination for Best Original Screenplay, she looked around the audience slightly, I don't know whether it was intentional or not, Eric found that the woman's gaze stayed on him for a moment, but before Eric could make any confirmation, Jane Fonda lowered her head and opened the envelope, took out the card with the name of the winner and looked at it, the surprised expression on her face flashed, and then she showed a smile and looked up at Eric again.

Eric was sure that this time it was definitely not his hallucination, and if that look just now might have been inadvertent, then, this time, did it mean ......

With his heart pounding a few times, Eric unconsciously clenched his fists again, staring at Jane Fonda.

Jane Fonda seemed to feel the urging of everyone in the audience, and did not sell it anymore, leaned close to the microphone and said loudly: "The winner of the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay is: "Island Cry". ”

The most unlikely thing happened, most of the people in the Los Angeles music hall were people who had been immersed in Hollywood for a long time, and many people also showed surprised expressions when they heard this name.

Despite the hints, Eric's eyes widened in disbelief until someone around him stood up.

The applause then thundered.

At the same time, a scene that surprised everyone in the award hall also appeared.

As Eric got up, more people followed. These include Island Cry, which received a series of nominations. "Sleepless in Seattle." "Dark War", "Pretty Woman" and other firefly-related crews, the number of people who got up involved five rows of people around Eric.

Although many people who got up immediately realized that this was inappropriate, it was even more inappropriate to sit down again, so they had to stay as they were.

After a simple hug with a few people nearby, Eric was forced by the pressure of time to hurriedly shake hands with the other people around him who stood up, and even some were too far away to touch their fingers.

Even so. It also took nearly a minute for Eric to walk onto the stage.

At this time, in the audience, most of the suspicious, shocked, and helpless expressions of many people were converted into envy. A small award for Best Original Screenplay can make such a big move, then, after today, no one dares to ignore Eric's status in Hollywood.

The acceptance speech for this award was prepared by Eric in advance, so it was easier to say than when he won the best soundtrack more than an hour ago. Even, Eric was saying his acceptance speech at the same time. I also divided part of my thoughts on why I won this award.

There is no doubt that this is the result of the Oscar split pork.

Eric felt that he had thought too much of Oscar in mind. With his current influence in Hollywood, if he gets two nominations at the same time and still gets nothing, then the fairness of the Oscars will once again be questioned.

Moreover, this time the doubts will definitely not only come from the media, but perhaps from the general public, as for the reason, it is because of the incident some time ago, Eric has already experienced a storm of malicious suppression, if the Oscar still lets him go home empty-handed even when he is nominated for two Best Screenplay nominations, then the public will inevitably have some bad associations again, and thus be disappointed in the Oscars.

As for why in the end, it didn't win the best adapted screenplay award for the more likely "Smell a Woman", but the best original screenplay award for "Island Cry", then, Eric understands that this is likely to be the result of a series of games behind it. Although intrigued by a series of insider stories, Eric knew that he had not yet reached the point where he could touch the inner game of the Oscars.

Thinking so, he followed Jane Fonda and the award presenters all the way into the backstage, and the staff came up to take the little gold man who did not have a nameplate in Eric's hand and nailed the golden nameplate for him.

Next is the award for Best Director, and "Smell of a Woman" was also nominated for Best Director, so Eric, who was waiting for the staff to nail the nameplate, was inevitably a little anxious, and at this time, Jane Fonda, who presented the award for him, came over.

"Congratulations, Mr. Williams," Jane Fonda held out her hand to Eric with a smile on her face.

"Ms. Fonda, thank you for the hint you just gave me," although he was anxious, Eric still maintained a good interest and flattered: "I have seen many of your movies, "Glory Returns" and "Flower Street Killer King" are both great, but my favorite is "Golden Pond", and the family affection that comes out of the table in this movie is touching. ”

"Thank you for liking," Jane Fonda, still smiling, continued, "Mr. Williams, you're going to have a celebration next, aren't you?"

Eric's expression moved slightly, and he quickly realized that this woman did not simply come over to greet him, although he didn't know the purpose of the other party, but if he could establish some friendship with the famous Hollywood acting family, it would definitely be beneficial and harmless to him.

So Eric didn't hesitate to say, "Yes, Ms. Fonda, if you have time, you're welcome to visit us after the ceremony, on the third floor of the Beverly Hills Hotel." ”

"I'll go," Jane Fonda nodded, knowing that Eric was also in a hurry to return to the hall, so she didn't say much and quickly left.

Despite this, when Eric returned to the awards hall, he was still disappointed to find that Oliver Stone, the director of "Born on the Fourth of July" on the stage, was speaking his acceptance speech, and Al Pacino of the nearby "Smell a Woman" crew also gave him a helpless look when he saw Eric coming back, as for Martin Brest, Eric didn't see the other party's expression, but except for loss, Eric couldn't think of anything else.

Speaking of the movie "Born on the Fourth of July", I have to talk about the sad Tom Tom, Eric also remembered after seeing this movie, Tom Cruise would have won the first Oscar nomination for Best Actor with his own movie.

It's a pity that because of his appearance in "Dark War", Cruise missed the movie.

Originally, Firefly and Cruise himself tried to win a nomination for Best Actor, but unfortunately they didn't succeed, although Tom won a Best Actor in a Drama nomination at the Golden Globe Awards for "Dark War", but he couldn't touch the Oscars, so Eric met Cruise a few days ago, and the other party never gave him a good face.

Cruise has been paid enough for "Dark War", so although Eric is a little helpless that Cruise failed to be nominated for an Oscar, he doesn't feel that he owes the other party anything, after all, Cruise is paid a lot more than Hanks.

Thinking like this, the last Best Actress winner on stage, Jodie Foster, has begun to introduce the nominations for Best Actor, listening to the introduction of the girls on stage, Eric suddenly thought that if "The Silence of the Lambs" can be produced and released last year, then Jodie Foster will likely win the Oscar for Best Actress.

This has to be said to be a pity.

The nominees for Best Actor were: Morgan Freeman, "Driving for Miss Daisy", Al Pacino, "Smell a Woman", Daniel Day Lewis, "My Left Foot", Kenneth Branagh, "Henry V, Robin Williams", "Dead Poets Society". ”

Every time someone is introduced, a great movie clip appears on the big screen behind Jodie Foster.

Eric looked at Al Pacino, whose waist was slightly tense not far away, and could also feel some of Al Pacino's feelings, since 17 years ago, Al Pacino has been nominated for five Oscars one after another, but all failed, with Al Assino's acting skills, it is not an exaggeration to say that "Oscar owes him a little golden man".

As for the original Oscar winner for Best Actor Daniel Day Lewis, although the other party's acting skills are also very good, Daniel Day Lewis's disadvantages are also very obvious.

First of all, he is British, which will certainly be discriminated against by the Oscars, and there is no doubt about it.

Secondly, Daniel Day Lewis is only in his early thirties, just barely reaching the average age of an Oscar-winning actor, and he looks even younger than Al Pacino, who is already fifty years old.

In the end, Daniel Day Lewis could not compete with Al Pacino, who had been in Hollywood for almost two decades, in terms of seniority and connections.

In the previous life, Daniel Day Lewis was able to win the award, and it has a lot to do with the Oscar year, although affected by the butterfly effect, Eric can still associate some clues from the current list, most of the nominated films this year should be the same as the previous life, but in these nominated film lists, except for "Born on the Fourth of July", which was originally famous because of Tom Cruise's appearance, other films have no influence.

This time, things didn't surprise Eric again, and when Jodie Foster opened the envelope, she quickly read out Al Pacino's name.

In the warm applause, after Al Pacino greeted the crew members of "Smell a Woman", he did not immediately go on stage, but walked to Eric in the back row, Eric realized what the other party was going to do, stood up with a smile, and Jonathan Demy, who was originally sitting on the other side of Eric, let go of his body.
