Chapter 110: Oscar Nomination
On the morning of Feb. 13, EST, hundreds of media gathered at the college's press conference.
Today, Academy spokesman Colin will announce the full list of nominees for the 73rd Academy Awards, an Oscar nomination is an honor in itself, sometimes even more than the Golden Globe winners, because it is not uncommon to see an actor who is introduced to say that he has been nominated for an Oscar, and then the Golden Globe winner.
Daniel, of course, knows that his nomination won't come as a surprise β if the New York Film Critics Association, the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globe winners, plus Universal, DreamWorks, the Weinstein brothers, and Tricker and himself, still can't get an Oscar nomination, then the Oscar is too maverick and impartial.
The suspense now is how many nominations Gladiator will win and who will be the big winner of the nomination battle.
Daniel did not have a telephone call or an acquaintance in the media to get to know him, although Jones called him and promised to tell him the results "as soon as possible".
He chose to watch instant messages online with a lot of people who cared about the Oscars, and there was not much time difference.
Andy crouched to the side and rolled the mouse for him, while he himself read the script with a script.
Reading scripts is really time-consuming, especially for Daniel, who has a plausible impression of many films, and sometimes if the script is not in front of him, he simply can't remember the works that have done well.
"It's out, it's out."
Andy said eagerly, clicking the mouse.
Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay......
"Oh my God, Gladiator has won big."
Daniel swept from beginning to end and found that "Gladiator" appeared too frequently, and almost all the nominations he fought for were received.
"12 items, you took 12 items, 10 items in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Andy saw the top report, the reporter was busy, and also made a simple count of the nominations for each movie, "Gladiator" became the biggest winner, with a total of 12 nominations, and the Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an unprecedented ten nominations.
His eyes finally fell on the Best Supporting Actor column, which was almost exactly the same as the Golden Globe Awards.
Jeff, William, Finney, and Benisou and Daniel themselves.
Even though he was confident, Daniel still felt a little excited to see his name appear on the list of Oscar nominees. Being so close to the Oscars will make people lose their temper somewhat.
"Congratulations." Andy looked at Daniel sincerely.
So far, many people think that Daniel is so lucky, but she knows best how much Daniel pays, how much time he spends at work, and how difficult it is to stick to his almost daily fitness and health menu, and sometimes she will be shocked, this is just a young man in his early twenties, why does he have such strong self-discipline, stay away from drugs, pies, and bars, and spend almost all of his time at work.
Especially during the period when Kusa Damon was gone, she and Melissa were impressed by his strength, reliability and tenacity.
Even in Hollywood, such a person is a matter of course.
"Thank you, let me be hypocritical, this is our common achievement."
"Of course, the little golden figure has one hand on me." Andy blinked, "I heard that the little gold figure is only gilded, so it's not worth much, and I'm going to store it on 'your' body." β
The poor mouth didn't have time to have fun.
His team's calls were all on Andy's phone, and Melissa, Cusa, Trick and Fred all looked more excited than he was.
Daniel's own mobile phone has been repeatedly called by many friends in the circle.
"I thought that only when I won the award would I get this treatment." Daniel exhaled, "Maybe they think I'm only a nominee." β
"You're a big hit, don't be modest."
"That-" Daniel glanced at his phone, "well, he's not in a hurry." β
"Hey, handsome guy."
Paul Walker is working in Los Angeles on the post-production of "Fast and Furious."
The voice on the other end of the phone was a little sour, "When we premiere, I really don't want to call you Oscar winner, the honorable Mr. Daniel Sandler." β
"If I can't win the Oscar, I'm going to tell the media that a bad actor like Paul Walker can't make a good movie, what do you say? Helping you get the word out, I've always had a good relationship with Universal. β
"Heyβ"
After a gag with Paul, Daniel calmed down, and there was still a month, and the result at the Oscars was honestly no one could predict, but to this day, Daniel got Ottie for him, and basically achieved the goal of brushing the B grid.
On the eve of the Oscars, there are countless parties of all kinds, and this year's Oscar winners are often welcomed and followed in the next production year, so each studio has its own party, and it is only natural that some films will warm up with the Oscar craze.
Of course, there is no shortage of traditional pies, but there are very few people who don't know whether to live or die at this juncture, especially a nominee like Daniel Sandler, whose every move is noticed, and it is not a trivial matter to be thrown a big bomb by an opponent at this time.
At the end of February, Miramax hosted a banquet to which the Weinstein brothers were invited, and Daniel received an invitation. "Chocolate" won five nominations for Best Picture, Leading Actress, and Supporting Actress, once again showing the Weinstein brothers' strong Oscar public relations skills, if it weren't for Johnny Depp, it was indeed a little worse, and this time the best actor is fiercely competitive - although last year's adjective was cruel, presumably he could also get an Ottie.
By this time, the cooperation between Daniel and Harvey will no longer need to be disguised, and the voting for the winners will begin in early March until a few days before the ceremony, when the audit firm will collect the ballots they sent and count them, and the final results will be sealed and only opened at the ceremony.
It may sound flawless, but the votes are ultimately people, and they come from the various committees of the Academy, so it is difficult to say with certainty that the Academy will be ignorant of the outcome.
"It looks even more star-studded than the Shoreline Theatre."
Daniel saw some superstars, big directors, producers.
"Cruise rejected me, will he turn down the Oscars?" Harvey winked his eyes at Daniel.
Daniel paused for a moment before he understood Harvey's offending joke.
But it's really funny, and Tom Cruise shouldn't be in the mood at this time.
Many people saw that as soon as Daniel and Harvey met, both of them were smiling very happily.
Then they noticed that Daniel Sandler seemed to be the only one among the Oscar nominees for Best Supporting Actor.
