Chapter 248: The Flower of Kaolin

After three months of strike negotiations, Hollywood has finally come out of the shadow of the shutdown of the industry, and it is the 80th birthday, and this year's Oscars are much more festive than in previous years, with many actors who have won Ottie this year, as well as celebrities and superstars living in Los Angeles, and even start going in and out of various Oscar warm-up parties a week in advance. These parties, either organized by luxury brands, or well-known media, or by major foundations and major film companies, no longer have the point of canvassing, but people's enthusiasm to attend it is much higher than attending various commercial PR events, after all, this is the time when the most people are gathered every year, the awards season is coming to an end, and if you want to get published, this week is the best and last chance.

And in the early spring of 2008, after more than three months of loneliness and depression, Hollywood's big stars seemed to be a little lonely. Pete and his pregnant girlfriend Angelina. Julie, Leonardo. DiCaprio, Tom. Cruise, Christopher. Hanks, Josh. Blanche, Penelope. Cruz, Reese. Witherspoon, Jennifer. Bel...... Although these big stars did not get the nomination, they still actively attended various warm-up parties. Blanchett, Marion. Cotillard and other actors and directors who got Otie together constituted the most beautiful scenery of the awards season. "Vanity Fair" Oscar warm-up party, Chanel Oscar warm-up party, return fund Oscar warm-up party, celebrities change into one suit after another, frantically go in and out of these occasions, talking with NBA players, IT upstarts, energy tycoons about yachts, private islands, private jets, wineries and political conflicts, demonstrations, and even the resulting financial turmoil, these warm-up parties can also be seen as a reward for the actors' hard work all year round: dieting and losing weight year after year, after sacrificing ** and even painful filming work, movie stars can often feel that they have really entered Vanity Fair and become an important member of it at this kind of party. Although they are far less wealthy than the rich people in these parties, their appearance can often make these big people blush with excitement, even incoherent, and completely incarnate the most loyal fans.

This is also ironclad evidence that Hollywood's film and television industry has been thoroughly matured, although Buffett and other rich people are worth a lot of money and are rich enough to rival the country, but movie stars can still be neither humble nor arrogant in front of them, and maintain dignity, not only because of their popularity, but also because movie stars have the core technology that money cannot replace, and the role of capital in the film and television industry is not so big, although it is still easier to succeed with capital, but this is by no means a guarantee of success.

Therefore, in such a party, the economy, environmental protection and even luxury goods are just marginal topics, what people are really talking about is still movies, the theme of the Oscar warm-up party seems to be outside the Oscars, but in fact it is still closely related to the Oscars, movie stars are not concerned about which rich man they have made friends with, or which politician they have eyebrows, they are still thinking about movies: in the batch of new films released last year, who fell down, who got good results again, and these box offices, award trends, and what trends in the industry are more interesting than resorts, private islands, and luxury mansions.

"Christopher. Hanks is coming. "When there was a small commotion at the door, Penelope. Cruz glanced at her friend, another Hispanic actress, Elsa Brown, quite confidently in Spanish. Pataky said. "Bringing a new female companion -- of course, it's not a strange thing, as I said a long time ago, Jennifer. Jefferson couldn't control him for long. ”

Penelope and Elsa are very well-known in Spain, however, compared to Penelope, who came to Hollywood early to develop and only occasionally returned to Spain to participate in top productions, Elsa, who is two years younger than her, has been focusing on developing in Spain, that is, she has only begun to try to break into Hollywood a few years ago, although her status in Spain is not low, and she is regarded as one of the most important actresses in her country, but in Hollywood, Elsa is equal to starting everything from scratch, The reason why she was able to get the ticket to the Armani Oscar warm-up party was because she and the actor Adrian. Brody is in a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship. And at the party, although people are very enthusiastic about Adrian, they are a little ignorant of her, as if they were a nobody. And even Penelope, who has been mixed up in Hollywood, is completely incomparable to Leonardo, Christopher and other big names in this field, and when she watched the fashion show just now, her seat was not even as good as Jennifer. Bel.

Although the two actresses don't have much friendship in Spain, in Hollywood, non-groups like to huddle very much, coupled with Penelope's status, Elsa can't catch up in a few years, so she doesn't care about possible competition in the future, but enthusiastically points her out some Hollywood networking tricks, "It's a pity, you already have Adrian, both are Oscar winners, Christopher is of course much greater, if you can charm him, let's not talk about the issue of exposure- Maybe he could even introduce you to his agent, Cesare. Vijri. Girl, that's a big guy, legend has it that he's in CAA, and he's just one step away from the CEO, and if he can sign you, then you don't have to worry about anything. ”

Elsa is still in the stage of taking English classes, she used to speak English, but not to the point of being a native language, and her accent is thick, her current agent has arranged an accent class for her, hoping that she will learn American English in a short time, so she is not too eager to find a film contract, besides, she is also a little unimpressed with Penelope's statement: under Adrian's lead, her current agent is not bad.

Of course, she didn't reveal her inner thoughts, but smiled and shook her head and said, "I'm afraid I don't like his appetite, I've heard that he likes tall young girls just as much as Leonardo." ”

Penelope smiled, "I just casually said, oh look, Jennifer. Bell went with him, she had been a client of Vijri before, and had a good relationship with Christopher - she was next to her fiancé, Georgia. Lansing, he's an important person in the world, I'll take you over to say hello, Elsa, it's good for you to make more friends. I've heard that Georgia has at least five projects for next year, and of course, the best will have to be reserved for Bale, but there are always roles to play. ”

"Can't ask for it, Penelope." Elsa gratefully said that her goal now is to star in a small-budget literary film, or a vase actress in a medium-budget commercial film, as for large-budget literary films such as "Michael. Clayton" or "Blood is Coming" and other films with investment and room to play, Elsa does not dare to be delusional at all. can become the heroine of some love soap films, she thinks it's a good start. "That's not good for Adrian, as soon as he enters, he patronizes and chats with his friends."

Adrian. After Brody won the actor, his star luck has not been smooth, don't look at the Oscar halo protection, but in the case of repeated box office reputation failures in the movies he starred in, and his acting skills have not been affirmed, his competitive advantage has become smaller and smaller in recent years, and he is also struggling to keep his coffee position, and wants to negotiate some good projects from the film company, bring his girlfriend to this kind of party, walk the red carpet, and talk about an agent, of course, it's no problem, but let him share his efforts to match Elsa to talk about her film appointment, Then that's a bit too demanding.

Although Penelope is very insightful about Adrian's situation, from this point of view, although Adrian has the protection of Oscar, he is not as good as her. Penelope has debuted for more than ten years, although there are no commercially successful works, and the salary has not been able to rise, but with his outstanding acting skills and beauty, his position in Hollywood is also quite stable.

"Christopher." Brought Elsa forward, and Christopher, Jennifer. Bell greeted him, and Penelope hugged him warmly, "Georgia, Jane, we haven't seen each other in a long time - this is my compatriot, Elsa. Pataky. ”

Penelope, who has been able to cooperate with the director repeatedly and starred in first-class literary films, is not very smooth on the road of literary films, but Bell, who holds a stable and profitable commercial film series "Dark Legend", the competition between these two women is not very strong, but they are both interested in the resources in each other's hands, Bell smiled affectionately at Penelope, "Penny, wow, you look so beautiful today - Christopher, if you haven't noticed, Penny doesn't have a male partner today." ”

"What are you hinting at?" Christopher said with a smile, but he seemed obviously a little absent-minded, just nodding and smiling at Penelope, and left without even saying hello to Elsa. - It was a bit rude, but none of the people present showed any displeasure, after all, he was Christopher. Hanks.

With Bale and Penelope here, many actors and producers were attracted to it, and Elsa also talked to Georgia, and they were talking about this year's Oscars, of course, they were talking about this year's Oscars, "It's really hard to say about the best film, "No Country for Old Men" this year and "Michael. Clayton" is on par, and of course, no one thinks "Atonement" will win......"

Although Elsa still has a certain accent in English, she did her homework a lot, and talked very happily with Georgia and Bell, Georgia even asked her for some details, and Elsa was secretly excited: A big film company like Universal will have dozens of movies leave the factory every year, and if Georgia is willing to give her a chance, even if it is just to participate in the audition, with high-level guidance, the success rate will be a little higher. Then she has a great hope of opening up the situation in Hollywood, at least to get rid of the terrible prospect of having no film to play.

"Ah, it's eight o'clock." The personable Georgia suddenly interrupted the conversation, he looked at his watch, and immediately turned to Jennifer who was not far away. Bell beckoned, "It's time for us to go, my dear, no wonder Chris and Leo are gone, hurry up, Jane, you need to change your clothes—I'm afraid we're going to be late." ”

He used intimate titles like Chris and Leo to call the two superstars, which undoubtedly showed his status, and Elsa had a strong envy in her heart: Georgia must have said the orthodox Oscar eve party, in order to avoid its time, Armani's eve fashion show was held in the afternoon, and the party was held a little earlier, so the big stars could rush to the scene. Leonardo, Christopher and Bell, were undoubtedly invited to the Eve party. is Penelope, as a guest of the Oscars, it is also very likely to go, although Adrian is a former actor, but he did not receive an invitation this year, and he will not attend tomorrow's Oscars.

Among the several friends who talked together, only Elsa couldn't go to a higher-level party, and of course she wasn't in a good mood, however, Georgia thought for a while, glanced at her, and suddenly threw out an invitation that made her heart flutter, "If you don't mind, Elsa, come with us, we can continue the discussion just now while Jennifer is changing." - Jennifer and I both got the invitation, and we have one that you can use with Adrian. ”

This is indeed undesirable for Elsa - she is not like a little fan, yearning for an Eve party, but Georgia's goodwill is very exciting for her, she suppresses her joy, and exchanges a look with a smiling Penelope: "Of course I can't ask for it, Georgia, thank you so much......"

#

If the threshold for Armani's Eve party is still low, in addition to the relevant personnel in the film and television industry, there are a large number of Armani's VIP customers, senior executives of the company, and other guests who Elsa is not very interested in (Elsa is very wealthy, and only money can't let her look at each other more), then the Oscar Eve party is a real industry event for her. When she first arrived in Hollywood, she was like a country girl, standing in the corner of the crowd dumbfounded, listening to Penelope's barrage of introductions. "Oh, see Brother Coen? They have a great chance of winning the Best Director ...... this year."

"Kate. Blanchett, I didn't expect her to really come, I thought she would rest at home to raise the baby, after all, her month is not small. ”

"Cameron. Diaz, by the way, was also a client of Vijri, but then Vijeri had Jennifer. Jefferson, she fired him, and she regretted it so much in the past few years - you see Bell and she know each other very well, but they don't have a good relationship, I advise you not to mention Cameron's good words to Bell-"

"Matt. Damon and Ben. Affleck, oh, that's the crew of "Spy 3", almost all of them came, and saw Tony. Gilroy? He is not only the screenwriter of the "Spy" series, but also the author of "Michael. The director of "Clayton", it is difficult to say which aura on him is more important now......"

"Johnny. Depp – and Vanessa, of course, but I remember you and she are also very familiar," Penelope said: "both are European stars, and there must be plenty of opportunities to meet. "Johnny was nominated for an Oscar this year, but he certainly can't compare to Daniel, who should be a runner...... Daniel didn't even show up for tonight's warm-up party, the shelf was really big enough"

Before Elsa could reply, Penelope let out another 'ah', "It's Leonardo, and Christopher - see them both again, don't you?" Georgia was right, they must have come to the Eve party. ”

She pointed to the two men who were talking intimately and lowered her voice, "It looks like they've reconciled - it was rumored that the two of them were married because of Jennifer. Jefferson turned his face...... Oh, and the big guy talking to them was Kevin Fox's vice president. Riley, I heard, is a strong candidate for the next CEO. ”

There was also a hint of envy in Penelope's voice, and Elsa could also see that Kevin. The intimate attitude of Riley and these two big-name movie stars, if between Penelope and Georgia just now, Georgia is more or less condescending, then, in front of Kevin, who has a higher position and more power, Chris and Leo can't see the feeling of the inferior at all, and even if you have to say it, Elsa still feels that Kevin is deliberately befriending these two boys, of course, Chris and Leo are not arrogant at all about his kindness, and the familiarity and intimacy of several people, It is incomparable to the average nodding acquaintance.

Before she could express her feelings, Penelope suddenly whispered: "I didn't expect Jon. Landau is also here! Elsa, if you have the chance, I advise you to be sure to talk to him more, preferably to smitten him - maybe you don't know him yet, but if you search for his name, your jaw will drop: "Titanic", "True Lies", ......"

While Penelope was still counting Jon. Landau's Extraordinary Qualities When Georgia. Lansing also returned to the corner with his fiancée, and he was full of spring breeze and Jennifer. Bell said something, "...... Maybe we can arrange a meeting with Jon, and if he's interested, the project is settled. ”

"Jennifer." Penelope smiled and said, "I saw you and Ivy just now. Kennedy was whispering, and I'll be honest, are you talking about Nicole. Kidman's face? ”

Ivy. Kennedy was a new generation of the Kennedy family, and Bell apparently had a pretty good relationship with her. Elsa couldn't help but feel a faint sense of envy in her heart: although Bell was radiant tonight, and the two dresses she wore were first-line haute couture, Elsa also had luxury connections, and she was also confident that her appearance was not lost to Bell, as for acting, not to mention, Elsa's performance works in Spain could kill her in seconds - if there is anything she is inferior to Bell, it is her white American identity, because born in the United States, Bell has achieved worldwide fame, The connections she has accumulated in Hollywood over the years are not comparable to her, and she is everywhere in the field, like a fish in water, which really makes Elsa envious. Especially her and Georgia. Lansing's marriage contract made Elsa feel that the gap between the two sides was so big that it was almost difficult for her to catch up.

"Oh, you have to admit it, Penny," Bell laughed wickedly, "she's getting less and less at the box office, but she's getting more and more Botox on her face, isn't she?" ”

Penelope also chuckled, and Elsa was about to say a few clever words, but at this moment, the screams of fans and occasionally reporters suddenly came from the direction of the party entrance, "Jennifer, Jennifer!" ”

- Although tonight, the arrival of celebrities caused a stir outside the venue, but such a huge scream was also something Elsa had never heard of before, both she and Penelope were attracted to look at the door of the banquet hall for a while, and Elsa was busy and looked at Penelope and Jennifer suspiciously. Bell glanced. There are too many Jennifers in Hollywood, and she can't hold the Jennifer who is coming now. What about Aniston, or Jennifer. Hudson, Jennifer. Jefferson, or Jennifer. Ghana, in Spain, and of course Jennifer. Jefferson is the most recognizable, but in Hollywood, she doesn't know who is more popular.

Penelope's expression was mixed with a touch of jealousy and a thick envy, which made her beautiful face shrouded in a layer of helplessness. Bell's expression was just as complicated, her eyes wandering through the venue that had fallen silent for a while, and Elsa couldn't help but follow her, scanning the celebrities - almost all of them pausing their conversations and looking at the door in unison.

With an unprecedented loud noise, surrounded by several staff members, a blonde woman walked into the venue with a smile on her face, she was wearing a simple white and gold dress, and her short blonde hair hung down the side of her cheeks, making her face look extraordinarily small and her facial features more refined. Although she was light on her feet, so to speak, she came quickly, but her arrival seemed to be amazing, attracting everyone's attention at once, and rightfully dominating the audience - Elsa breathed a sigh of relief, she was a little surprised, but not so surprised: Jennifer. She was surprised that Jefferson was so important, but the fact that she was the most popular Jennifer made it for granted that she was the most popular.

"Jennifer!" Leonardo was the first to break the brief silence with enthusiasm, smiling and hugging her, and of course Christopher was beside him. Hanks. The former couple shook hands and said hello in a friendly manner, while Jon, who followed them forward. Landau, Kevin. Riley, to be more enthusiastic and familiar with Jennifer, they hugged each other, and said a few words with Jennifer with a smile - judging from the expressions, the two sides are not only very familiar, but in the hearts of these two people, Jennifer's status is higher than Leonardo and Christopher, the two leading Hollywood students, in addition to the cordiality of acquaintances, their attitude towards Jennifer has obvious respect, and it can even be said that there is a sense of reverence and courtesy.

Before he had time to be surprised, Tony. Gilroy, a middle-aged man who had been a little cold all night, had stepped forward with a smile on his face and greeted Jennifer warmly. Jefferson opened his arms, and Elsa suddenly found that the audience was full of shouts of 'Jennifer'. Marshall, the new Oscar-winning director, Johnny. Depp, Hollywood's highest-grossing actor - even the Coen brothers, is almost a big director who won the Oscar for Best Director, Cameron . Diaz, Natalie. Portman, these big names took the initiative to step forward one by one, and greeted Jennifer either familiar or unfamiliar. Elsa was standing in the corner near the door, and she even heard the Coen brothers say, "You are in "Michael. Clayton" completely captivated us......"

If, just now Jennifer. Bell also has a feeling of being proud of the spring breeze and like a fish in water, and seems to have the demeanor of a popular star. Under Jefferson's shining starlight, her light has been completely overshadowed, this Oscar-winning 'one-and-a-half' actress, as soon as the new Venice actress appeared, it was like a black hole, steadily attracting everyone's attention, whether it was an actor or an actress, it looked dull under her demeanor. Although she herself has a warm smile and a humble attitude, even so, almost every topic in the venue is likely to have the word 'Jennifer' on it now.

"It looks like the tabloid news is a complete rumor, and she looks refreshed and sober."

"I heard that she was acting in "Monroe" in Europe, but why does she still look so thin? This girl is crazy, Monroe's arms are not as slender as hers. ”

"Did you see the look on her face when she talked to Christopher? I bet they're going to get back together soon. ”

"It's just crazy, Michael. Films like Clayton" can get 50 million at the box office - more than 100 million in the world! ”

"She's not going to win a second Oscar for Best Actress so soon, is she? If that's the case, it's just unfair. ”

"It's hard to say, maybe it's up to Kate. Blanchett's face -- or vice versa, Cate. Blanchett looked at her face. ”

"It's all up to the judges...... The world has been crazy for a long time, and she is going to have a commercial film in May, have you heard? It's one of Marvel's second-tier heroes — they've just organized a viewing party, and critics have raved about it — and now they're all saying that even second-tier heroes can be popular with her films. ”

"Looks like I'm going to have to buy some Marvel stock -- by the way, what about the big production she's worked on? James. Cameron's one. ”

"It's still in post-production, you know Jon. Why was Landau so polite to her? Because the girl was also involved in the investment - 150 million dollars, they said, that her instincts gave her hints again, so she smashed so much ...... in one fell swoop."

In a thud, Elsa made her way through the crowd and walked back to Penelope: she went to the bathroom, and during the journey she heard countless conversations with Jennifer. Jefferson's gossip, this girl firmly dominated everyone's attention, with her as the center, gathered the largest small group in the audience, superstars, famous directors can be seen everywhere, and those who have not stepped forward to join the small group are also discussing her affairs. Her new relationship, her chances of winning awards, her investments, her new achievements -- she had a feeling that although most of the people in this room had achieved achievements that would be the envy of their peers, the elites of the industry still talked about Jennifer in a tone of admiration. Jefferson, of course, was without sour words and disparaging opinions, but even those opinions had a natural sense of admiration, and these people did not mean to belittle Jennifer's accomplishments at all, and even the meanest guests were just talking about the sensation she had caused at the Venice Film Festival in the tone of 'how could she be so tossed', cursing "My Week with Monroe" in the hope that it would be her Waterloo - but even if Elsa only happened to hear it as she passed by, she could hear the uncertainty in that tone, Obviously, although she keeps saying that 'playing Monroe doesn't gain weight, finding a new director is crazy', but the lady herself doesn't believe that "Monroe" will become Jennifer's Waterloo.

"What about Georgia and Bell?" She looked around.

"Tried to be with Jennifer in the past. Jefferson set it closely. Penelope said, her tone a little sour, too. Bale was formerly Cesare. Vijri's client, after Jefferson got the actress, she seized on this relationship and tried her best to hug the other party's thighs, but unfortunately, Jefferson was not happy to deal with her. If I had to say, Bell wasn't that much of her, and you should have looked at her face just now. When Lansing was about to take her over to greet the other party, Bell's expression was wonderful. ”

Although the tone revealed his disdain for Georgia and Bale who were good at drilling camps, it could be seen that Penelope was also very envious that they could find a relationship with Jennifer. Jefferson approached, she pointed to the blonde girl in the crowd from a distance, "If you can make friends with her, Elsa, don't hesitate, believe me, as long as you can make friends with her, you will never worry about the film appointment-"

"This is the first time I've seen her," Elsa asked, a little curious, and she was also present at quite a few warm-up parties, "Didn't she attend the previous Eve party at all?" ”

"Not a single one," Georgia said back with Bell at some point, and it was clear from their expressions that they hadn't been able to interject just now - Bale's tone was even more sour than Penelope's, "She's completely absent this awards season, and she doesn't even have an invitation to a brand's eve party to impress our Wonder Girl, and in her opinion, only tonight's party is qualified for her to come......"

Although her sourness is clear at a glance, Bale's words did not attract rebuttals from Georgia and Penelope - it seems that in their eyes, it is really natural that Jennifer was not invited to the previous party, and it is really only this blue-blooded party hosted by the Oscars that is enough to invite her.

"I've heard she'll be coming up with a new work in a few months." She said that the news she just heard is now sold, "The industry evaluation seems to be quite good." ”

As soon as the words came out, she received a look from Penelope, and Elsa realized that she had said the wrong thing, but it was too late, Jennifer. A dark cloud immediately hung over Bell's pretty face - it was clear that to her, Jennifer. Jefferson's success was not a pleasant topic.

Elsa's heart immediately tightened: she didn't mind offending Jennifer. Bale, female stars always have a hard time making friends, but if it affects her plans to make friends with Georgia, then it will be too unlucky.

She's lucky -- just as she's racking her brains for a way to ease her cheeks, Jennifer. The crowd around Jefferson dispersed slightly, and the girl, who seemed to be shrouded in a layer of light from head to toe, making it difficult to even see her face clearly, happened to see Elsa's group, and she smiled and stretched out her hand, a little condescending, as if with the pity and nobility of the superior to Jennifer. Mr. and Mrs. Bell beckoned them to come over. And Bale, who was still unhappy just now because Elsa said good things about Jefferson, immediately had a bright smile on his face. Lansing, in Elsa's opinion, seemed a little flattered, they just hurriedly said hello to Penelope and Elsa, and walked over in a hurry, eager to blend in with Jennifer. In the 'pro-guards' around Jefferson......

The two Spanish female stars glanced at each other, but neither spoke, Penelope's smile was a little reluctant, and Elsa also had mixed feelings in her heart: Although Jennifer. Bell doesn't have much respect for her, but she doesn't mind it, in fact, she has always secretly thought that she will one day surpass this girl, and the more annoying Bell is, the faster she will surpass her. sense, however, Jennifer. Jefferson...... She didn't know what Penelope thought, for her, Jennifer. Although Jefferson is elegant and generous, looking at her demeanor, it makes Elsa feel a trace of despair - she is so unattainable, even to the point that she can't afford to catch up, and this feeling of self-shame is undoubtedly very bitter and strange to Elsa, who has become accustomed to calling the wind and rain in Spain......

After a while, Penelope seemed to recover from her empty thoughts, and she took a glass of champagne from the waiter's hand, cleared her throat, and broke the silence.

"I'm going to go over too, what about you?"

Elsa took a breath and straightened her back to look more radiant, "Of course, let's go." ”

#

Surprisingly, although Jennifer. Jefferson is only 27 years old, and she has achieved such remarkable achievements in Hollywood, climbing to a thrillingly high position, but she herself is humble and low-key, educated, and different from the rumored image of a mental breakdown and a honey-tongued sword, she herself is humorous and funny, and seems to be very far from a mental breakdown. Although Elsa didn't talk to her for a few words, she made a good impression of her, and she secretly hoped that she would have the opportunity to talk to Jennifer. Jefferson cooperates, whether it is a colleague or a boss, she seems to be a good partner to work with. And Elsa has to admit that compared to Jennifer. Bell, like the typical Hollywood white blonde actress, is much more fond of Jefferson.

Of course, this may be because she thinks she still has a chance to catch up with Bell, and Jefferson, after the first acquaintance last night, is unattainable in Elsa's eyes - people are always less liked for potential competitors, and since she thinks that she has no chance of catching up with Jefferson, then, after adjusting to her mood, Elsa is able to appreciate her strengths, and even ignore her shortcomings under the halo effect.

“honey。” She shouted at Adrian in the kitchen, "Come on, it's almost time to give out an important award." ”

Although she did not attend the Oscars, she will not miss the most important awards of the year in Hollywood, Elsa watched the red carpet alone (as an actress she could not miss this part), and let Adrian call and nap through the first half of the awards ceremony, but now, the award for Best Supporting Actress is about to be awarded, which also means that the important award stage is about to begin, and she knows that Adrian's concern has come.

"Kate. Blanchett, "I Wasn't There", Ruby. "American Gangsters" ...... "Last Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Allen. Yajin slowly muttered about the shortlist, "And the Oscars will be awarded to ......"

He opened the envelope, made a surprised face, and then announced loudly with a smile, "Kate. Blanchett - "I'm Not There", Bob. Dylan! Congratulations on winning Best Supporting Actress for playing a man! ”

In bursts of laughter, Kate. Blanchett stood up radiant and walked onto the podium, while Adrian rushed into the living room with a handful of microwave popcorn in his hand.

"Holycrap—" he sighed, "the double mention is already in the first place—is it going to be the double mention this year?" It can't be! ”

This year Kate. Blanchett was the same as the two nominees, but unlike Jennifer '06. Jefferson, whose nomination for supporting actress was a bit more natural, was well deserved: her acting skills had long been proven, and she was indeed amazing enough.

However, if it is a previous session, it is likely that there will be a split vote phenomenon in a double nomination, because the Actors Association has to vote for four awards, out of some natural vote-splitting psychology, those who voted for Kate as the best actress will rarely vote for her as the best supporting actress, and since the 80s, the double nominations are likely to be both unsuccessful. Only Jennifer. In Jefferson's year, the judges went crazy and gave both awards to the young actor, which not only created the biggest female movie star of the century, but also left a big stain on the credibility of the Oscars - sometimes for some reasons, the Oscars will actively create stars, for example, give some new actresses Oscar nominations to help them go more smoothly on the road to stardom. For example, Alan. Peggy, her Oscar nomination has the consideration of promoting newcomers, but in any case, giving an Oscar to a filmmaker who has just starred in his first literary film is two, which is really too much to say.

However, the best thing about that year is that the most controversial is Best Supporting Actress, Best Actress, Jennifer. Jefferson has always had a voice. This year Kate. Blanchett's situation is different, she has indeed been winning Best Supporting Actress in the Outpost Awards, which is not too much for her, however, in the pre-award prediction, it is such a situation: Among the five candidates for Best Actress, Alan . Peggy is here to brush up on her prestige, no need to bother, Marion. Cotillard's film was released in early 2007 and only won a few minor awards. Christie had a good momentum before the awards season, but there was no major award in the whole awards season, just a few small awards, which were very unpopular. Blanchett is almost and Jennifer. Jefferson carved up all the Best Actress together. So she is the hottest candidate for Best Actress in the pre-award prediction -

Now she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, that is, this year's Oscar, if it weren't for Kate. Blanchett double-mentioned, and that was Jennifer. Jefferson won Best Actress again after winning it once in 06 after only a year?

Although she seems to have a deep background, even if she is the biological daughter of the Oscar statuette, she won the Best Actress after a year, is it too much? And Kate. Blanchett double-mentions, this may be just as unacceptable, the Oscars are everyone's playground, and such an obvious bias will make all players have the urge to flip the table: an Oscar is already very valuable, and if you always engage in wholesale, what do the actors who have spent a lot of time thinking about getting an Oscar? This is a very obvious self-depreciation......

After Adrian rushed back to the kitchen to get a pot of popcorn, he didn't leave the living room anymore, his mobile phone and game consoles were thrown aside by him, and the next few technical awards, even Best Supporting Actor, he and Elsa watched absent-mindedly, and the good awards ceremony actually had a suspense point like a TV series - in the couple's tight anticipation, they finally looked forward to the last actor Forrestal. Wheatett, as he read the list of candidates.

"Kate. Blanchett, Elizabeth: The Golden Age. ”

- Kate, who had just gotten the golden man, smiled and waved her hand to the camera, kissed the little golden man, and looked carefree, as if she didn't think she would win another Oscar.

"Marion. Cotillard, La Vie en Rose. ”

Marion smiled at the camera, her demeanor was demure, and it seemed that she also understood that she and Oscar seemed to be close, but in fact they were far away.

"Alan. Peggy, "Juno." ”

Alan laughed and waved desperately, looking overly excited and cute, and her appearance also aroused a burst of loving chuckles at the scene: Although no one thought she would win the award, because of "Juno", Allen's star career has been smooth, and she has become the most anticipated and promising star among her peers.

"Julie. Christie, "Bright Flowers". ”

The old Julie was even more indifferent, just nodded, quietly accepting the applause of the people around her, and seemed to have almost written the words 'I'm here to accompany the run' on her face.
