Is this compensation for the judges? Because she voted for Reese, she voted for first place in Best Supporting Actress based on guilt? Or is the Oscar striking a balance and giving her the Best Supporting Actress at the same time as Reese the Queen? But this can't be, the Oscars are not Golden Globes, more than 1,600 people can't pass at all, or has the chairman already bought PwC? ――But this is also impossible, the chairman of the academy is a rotating system, and no one can sit in the bank for life, where does the influence come from?

Buying the postman to tamper with the ballot? It can't be, the possibility of doing so is too high, it's too bizarre, and who has the motive? Not even Cesare could have done such a thing......

PwC's statistical errors?

She suddenly traveled into another parallel dimension?

Countless jumbled thoughts piled up in Jenny's mind, making her almost unable to think effectively - although she knew that this seemed a bit ridiculous, after receiving the trophy, Jenny couldn't help but keep Jamie who was leaving. Fox, taking the cardboard with her name on it, took it from his hand until she could see for sure that the pencil letters on it were indeed printed: 'Best Supporting Actress Jennifer. Jefferson' - this is sure that there was no procedural error, and this is not a rare Oscar own-long. If you love to play and watch, come to WWW. LＷXＳ５２０。 ＣＯＭ

"Uh......" Even though this is the umpteenth time Jenny has been on the podium, when she turns to face the camera, her scalp is still numb and her mind is blank: the pie that fell from the sky was smashed so suddenly that she didn't even prepare a proper acceptance speech, and now she didn't know what to say.

But it's not okay to be silent, Jenny looked at the cardboard in her hand again, and leaned closer to the microphone, "Uh, I've already confirmed, it's indeed my name printed." So--sorry, sisters, this time the lucky one was indeed me. ”

By the time she stopped Jamie to look at the jam, there was already a chuckle in the room, and now the atmosphere was even more lively. After all, to be honest, except for Michelle and Rachel, for the rest of the stars, who wins the award is not the same? Although Jennifer won the award to everyone's surprise, after the initial surprise, now everyone is more in audience mode, wanting to see how Jennifer, who is obviously and extremely surprised, will give a speech.

Jenny is indeed in a dilemma now, although she has prepared an award for "The Fifth Sally", but it is impossible to use it - damn it, "The Devil Wears Prada" has not won a single award so far, she has no self-excerpt object at all, she can only say whatever comes to mind, so as not to leave an embarrassing gap.

"Just a year and a half ago, when we started making this film, I was so scared that it was going to fail at the box office, and I said to Meryl, is this story a bit bleak, is it too negative for a fashion film? And Meryl replied to me: It's a very charming story, you can't win an Oscar on it, but the audience will love it. "And a year and a half later, I found that not only did the audience love Andy, but so did our dear judges, and thank you for proving dear Meryl wrong—thank you Academy, thank you Fox, thank you CAA, thank you my dear Meryl and Emily, thank you to my agent Cesare, it wouldn't have been all without you - thank you to my audience, you made it all happen, thank you!" ”

She held up the trophy and asked the reporters to snap photos of the winner, realizing too late in the flash and applause that she had forgotten to thank Josh.

Judy might kill her later, but that's not what Jenny was thinking about now - as was customary, she didn't return to the audience after she got off stage, but was led backstage for photos and interviews, and when she did, Cesare and Judy hurried up to meet her, Cesare's face was flushed, and it was obvious that she had just finished running, and Judy was so panicked that she took her dinner bag down.

“howdidthishappen？！” Cesare and she asked in unison, then pointed at each other, "isyou?" ”

“no！” The third time, the two denied in unison, and if it were another moment, it might all be as funny as a talk show, but now no one was in the mood to joke, including Judy who was surprised, "This has nothing to do with you?" ”

"What the hell is going on?" Jeanne was completely confused, and her last guess was shattered - it seemed that Cesare had not planned to surprise her.

"Now it's not about how you deal with the media." Cesare said quickly, "Listen, I'm going to make a double confirmation with someone from PricewaterhouseCoopers, and your answer should be as short as possible, don't be too complacent, it could all be a mistake - Judy, she'll give it to you." ”

He said exactly what she thought, and Jenny breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, let's go Judy." ”

"Let me prepare." Judy had obviously not completely calmed down, and she had just confirmed that there was no one behind all this, and she had already become 'unresponsive' and excited, she took a few breaths, "God, even if you can only hold it for ten minutes, you're the actress I know who has paid the least Oscar - you didn't even spend a penny on PR - God, God, calm down Judy...... OK, let's go! ”

She took a deep breath, regained her professional and calm expression, and led Jenny to the already boiling media area.

Of course, the media was thrilled - this is definitely the most exaggerated dark horse of this year's Oscars, judging from the backstage broadcast TV, even the winner Jennifer did not expect that she would win the award at all, her surprise and hesitation - if it is acting, then she is terrible. Of course, Hiss. Ledger's reaction is also worth some hype, in short, there is indeed no shortage of excitement at tonight's Oscars, and there are countless hidden traps waiting for Jennifer among the reporters.

"Yes, I'm very happy, yes, it was a very unexpected result......"

It wasn't until the next prize was handed out and the winner went backstage that Jeanne found a break from the enthusiastic media person, and hurried to the corner where Cesare stood—five minutes earlier, he had slipped back in. "Well, are you sure they're not mistaken?"

"It's the result of repeated calculations." Cesare shook his head, and he looked at Jenny with an elusive look for a moment, "Very rare—even the accountant himself admits that it is a very rare occurrence. ”

"Tell me what's going on!" Jenny is going crazy, literally, she's on the verge of madness, which is even more bizarre than her own rebirth. "Quick! - You know I'm going to have to go back soon! ”

"Okay." Cesare, apparently gathering his thoughts, said quickly as he walked back with Jeanne, "If you remember the principle of preference voting, you know that when the votes are close, the number of people who vote for you second is actually more important than the number of people who put you first." ”

According to the voting principle of the Oscars, in the competition just now, for example, Michelle took 600 votes, Rachel took 550 votes, at first glance Michelle has the advantage, but it does not mean that this is the final result, the accountant has to recalculate the last place - if it is Amy's 300 votes, that is to say, if 60 votes for Amy as the first place are elected Rachel as the second place, then Rachel's votes will rise to 610, if no one in Amy's ballots votes votes for Michelle to be the second place, the crown for Best Supporting Actress will go to Rachel.

Moreover, in actual operation, it may also appear in this recalculation, for example, Amy's 300 votes, the second place is all selected by Jenny, and then Jenny gets her own 300 + Amy's 300 = 600, and Michelle votes instead of Rachel pk, and then start the next round of propensity screening results. So, if you're going to win, you're either going to run a high 700 numbers like Chris, or you're going to make sure that some people vote for you to be number one and keep you away from the bottom, and then the other people vote for you to be the last one you please, and then vote for you to be the second place, which is a much more effective strategy than focusing all the PR votes on the first place.

Michelle and Rachel are examples of this, and this year's PR battle between the two can be said to be evenly matched, "The PwC people told me that you won by a landslide - this is very different from the result of the nomination vote, where you are at the bottom of the nomination vote. Of course, this is not surprising - in any case, in fact, the selection of second place among the members who chose you first this time was an anomaly, with Michelle and Rachel each making up almost 50 percent, rather than the remaining four candidates evenly distributed - you know what I mean, Jefferson? ”

Jenny suddenly realized, "They all thought I would be last!" ”

"If I had to guess, there should be several sources of the number one vote you get, the first being your base vote, which is the judges who really appreciate you." Cesare said.

Jenny nodded - very reasonable, among the 1600 judges, the judges who can be affected by public relations are actually far less than 1600, the Oscars are an old group, only less than 15% of the members under the age of 50, and a large part of the members are completely retired, food and clothing, and their children are not engaged in this industry, it is really difficult to calculate how much impact public relations activities have on them, these people are the variables in the Oscar vote. Jenny didn't know how many of those people liked her acting, but she certainly did, because Weinstein told her that she had gotten more votes in the supporting actress and lead actress votes than she had in her PR vote.

"The second is the PR ticket for Michelle and Rachel, you're in the PR for Best Actress, and that's clear to everyone," they came around the corner from the exit, and Cesare continued to keep his voice down, giving her a quick analysis. "And you're at the bottom of the nomination vote, and for most people, after deducting your PR votes - in the final vote you're definitely going to focus on Best Actress - you're definitely fifth, so Michelle and Rachel gave you all of their first places, and the sheer number of these two should not be very large, they can't make you number four, but the combined votes of the two are a force to be reckoned with."

He paused, "And the third should be the last in fact, I don't know, Amy Catherine?" Some of their votes were voted for by the PR in order to prevent them from being at the bottom and helping Michelle and Rachel to improve their advantage, so they chose you to be second - so that they still have some hope, of course, it is not excluded that some judges do think you can be second after voting for them to be the first place. Either way, these three factors actually led you to more than 40% of the vote, well ahead of second place – and that's not a mistake, Jenny, you really got your first Oscar. ”

His voice was also unusually agitated, and though it was still suppressed, it was still very clear to Jeanne - because as Cesare analyzed, she grew more and more excited - no matter how ridiculous or bizarre - Cesare's words still proved that PwC was not wrong, that the award was really hers-

She really got her first Oscar!

“ohmygod。” She couldn't stand still, "ohmygod-oh-my-god!" This award is really mine - we really got it - Chesa, we really - "

"I know." Cesare was genuinely smiling, his handsome face unabashedly blooming with a cheerful smile, "We've got it—we've got it, Jefferson." ”

Suppressing the urge to scream, Jenny rushed forward and grabbed Cesare's neck, stomping her feet hard to vent, "We've got it!" We've got an Oscar! ”

She sang excitedly, "We'Vegotanoscar~We'Vegotanoscar-"

"Easy, Tiger," Cesare guarded her back, "you're wearing high heels - let me pour cold water on you, you realize that means you're not going to get the heroine anymore, right?" ”

There seemed to be another award in the venue, applause and whistles, and in the background of the hustle and bustle, Jenny gradually calmed down, she understood what Cesare meant, "Yes, it is difficult to vote for me to be the first place in the heroine...... But that's okay, I've already won an Oscar, and that's all that matters. ”

Considering the unwritten unspoken rules of the Oscars, after voting for her as the first place in the supporting actress, Jenny's basic plate supporters continue to vote for her as the first in the heroine vote is not very likely, plus no one has ever reached a double hegemony, so indeed, after missing this part of the votes, even if all the public relations votes can be cashed, it is unlikely that she will win over Reese, or Judy and Felicity are like Jenny just now, and it is very likely that the fisherman will become the first in profit, after all, this is the Oscar, It's always subject to change.

"This tells us a truth." Still smiling, Jeanne was less excited, and she withdrew from Cesare's arms and walked with him to the venue, "Even if the hope is slim, prepare an acceptance speech, or you'll be like a fool on stage - won't you go back and sit down, Chesa?" ”

"It's about to be awarded Best Actor." Cesare raised his chin on the stage, "You'd better go back quickly, best actor followed best actress, you have to sit there - show a little more respect." ”

“’kay。” Jenny also ordered herself to calm down completely and get back to work.

She hurried back to her seat, Josh and Chris and Giselle of course all congratulated her warmly, Jenny smiled and hugged them a few times, "I know you're so happy for me—and I'm very happy for me, and happy for you—are you more confident in yourself now?" Chris? ”

"Why do you always ask such sharp questions?" Chris asked rhetorically with a smile, but then admitted, "yes, I'm much more relaxed now." ”

- Since Jenny was selected for Best Supporting Actress, it means that most of the judges will not choose her as the first place for Best Actress, and it also means that Chris is much less likely to lose votes because of the consideration that "Best Actress and Best Actress will not be attributed to a movie". Eastwood stepped onto the stage, his breathing suddenly shortened, and although he was still trying to make a light appearance, Jenny could feel the tension radiating from Christopher's body.

“…… My old friend, Philip. Hoffman, "Capote......," Clint muttered slowly, "and the brilliant young Christopher. Hanks, "The Fifth Sally" - younger than him, dazzling Heath. Ledger, "Brokeback Mountain". ”

In the warm applause of everyone, Jenny looked at Heath with an indifferent expression on the big screen with some emotion - Heath is two years older than Jenny, only 27 years old this year, nominated for the Oscar for the first time, and has little hope of winning the award, so his expression is still very ordinary, for this unruly Australian boy, maybe the Oscar is the same thing - his talent is so extraordinary, the Oscar is not out of reach for him, and it will be in his pocket after all......

She shook her head, refocusing her attention on Clint.

Clint had finished his introduction, he opened the envelope and glanced at it, raising his eyebrows. "Christopher. Hanks, "The Fifth Sally"! ”

In the midst of the applause, Christopher jumped to his feet, he bent down and hugged Giselle shallowly, then turned around and hugged Jenny so hard that he almost strangled her off the ground, followed by Josh and Harvey not far away......

Well, Jenny admits that if she hadn't won Best Supporting Actress, she would have had mixed feelings right now - what does "The Romance of Mom and Dad" say? When your friend succeeds, you'll be completely happy for him for a second, and then you'll be reminded of yourself for nothing—but now that she has her own Oscar, Chris's win will extinguish her last hope of Best Actress, and she'll applaud him from the bottom of her heart.

“…… Thank you to my agency, CAA, and of course my partner Jennifer. Jefferson," Christopher pointed at her, "she dragged my pride and acting skills to the ground with her performance, and then brought them back to life—"

He gave Jenny a grateful wink, and then, with a hint of childish innocence, happily continued, "And my parents and family, Daddy, Mom, Jack, my favorite little niece Tina......"

Although he equaled Adrian's record as the youngest actor at the age of 30 this year, Christopher has been famous for many years, and the traces of self-breakthrough this time are also obvious, plus pretending to be old and ugly, it is normal for him to be favored by the judges, and it is not completely unconvincing, and the guests in the audience sent Chris away with applause. And after the host's strings, Meryl. Streep took the stage to present the Best Actress award, the penultimate award of the night, followed by the final Best Director and Best Picture highlights.

"Some of the performances reveal the richness of the inner world," Meryl said unhurriedly, maintaining her glasses, "while others recreate historical figures for us—"

In Reese. Amid Witherspoon's sweet and reserved laughter, Meryl introduced the five candidates one by one. Dench, "The Gift of Mrs. Henderson", Jennifer. Jefferson, "The Fifth Sally", Reese. Witherspoon, "Unstoppable", and the Oscars will go to—"

Reese smiled and listened, Kayla whispered to her boyfriend reservedly, and then smiled charmingly at the camera, Felicity was thoughtful, Jenny glanced at Reese on the big screen, curious about what was being said on the Internet - although she couldn't win another award, but at this moment, when the audience fell silent, her heartbeat still accelerated a little: who could it be? Reese? Judy? Felicityi?

Meryl pushed her glasses and opened the envelope, her eyes suddenly widened, and her surprise was almost the same as that of Jamie just now. Fox was the same - there was a buzz of interest in the room, Josh, Giselle - even Harvey, Philip. Hoffman...... The guests near Jenny all turned around and looked at Jenny unabashedly, but Jenny didn't care about the eyes of others anymore - her heart rose to her throat as Meryl behaved - it couldn't be, it was impossible, but with what she knew about Meryl -

"andtheoesto—" Meryl coughed, repeating her words emphatically, her eyes roaming the audience as if searching for a specific target, and her tone softly spat out a few syllables. - Jennifer. Jefferson. ”

The author has something to say: Note: Everyone understands the explanation of the Oscar voting rules here, right...... Actually, it's quite complicated, and it seems that I made a mistake the first time...... Take this chapter as the subject of the
