Chapter 429: Shadow Queen
"Oscar belongs, Reese. Witherspoon, "Unstoppable"! ”
The camera is now focused on Penelope. Cruz, who wasn't experienced enough, apparently didn't control her expression - she didn't show disappointment, not surprise, but - disbelief!
In other words, deep down in Penelope's heart, he didn't think Witherspoon would win the prize.
The three veteran actresses who were pointed at by other cameras were all indifferent, although they could still see a trace of loss, but there was absolutely no gaffe.
Although Penelope quickly adjusted her facial expressions, the audience had already seen what she had just done.
Witherspoon and Daniel sat close together, separated only by Jennifer. Lopez.
Whether or not she was really so surprised, Witherspoon looked very surprised.
Her pretty eyes were wide open, and she looked left and right for confirmation, her hands covering her mouth that might have been wide open.
It wasn't until Lopez, Daniel, and the others stood up that she lowered her hand and left her seat with her skirt in her hand.
After hugging Lopez, she almost lunged at Daniel, her husband, Ryan. Philip was next to her, slightly embarrassed, this scene will definitely be hot news next year, but who cares at this time? Witherspoon was already crazy with joy, and Daniel was happy for her, maybe only Philip was a little confused about his inner thoughts now.
"Thank you, thank you, Daniel."
"Rishi, congratulations, hurry up and get up."
Taking a deep breath, Witherspoon let go of Daniel and turned to kiss Philip softly - thankfully she hadn't forgotten it.
Perhaps she was too excited to take over the little golden figure from Hoffman, and her words of thanks were particularly long:
"Oh. My God, I never thought that growing up in Tennessee, I would one day be on the podium at the Oscars, and I want to say John Cash and Joan. Carter has always loved to give awards to other artists and musicians and singers, and tonight I felt that tradition again. This award is important and I can feel its weight. So I would like to thank the American Academy of Arts and Sciences for giving me this tremendous honor. I have a lot of people to thank for helping me shape this role successfully.
Especially thanks to everyone at DD Pictures. Cohenrad, James. Kicki made the film. I would like to give special thanks to James. Mangold, it was he who directed the film and created the character. She's a real woman, she's got self-esteem and she's strong, she's got fears. But it's more courage. I really enjoyed the role and I was lucky to be able to play it. Thank you.
I would also like to thank Bennett for helping me understand the life of a country singer.
Of course, most importantly, I would also like to thank Daniel. Sandler, it's the privilege of my life to be able to co-star with him in this film, he gave his heart and soul to the role he played, the passion he gave to the characters and his acting skills were extraordinary.
Thank you to my family, especially for my grandmother. My grandmother was the biggest encourager of my life, she taught me how to be a real woman, to have courage and self-esteem, and to never give up on these spirits. That's exactly the character I see in the characters I play. Tonight. I feel like I've achieved a dream, thank you. ”
Tonight for the eighth time to be thanked!
Then, it came the moment of truth.
Witherspoon hesitated as he walked backstage. She wanted to hear the results below. But she should have been too late, because the host started to show off, and she brought a vacuum cleaner to the stage - it was incredible. But Witherspoon was at the behest of Oscar's staff. has to hurry to the interview area, those people have been waiting for the actress for a long time, in fact, for the reporters in the interview area tonight, interviewing the actor and actress is the top priority of all work, and their time is actually not very sufficient, because soon the actor will be revealed.
The actor's attention is much higher than that of the actress, whether it is Helen. Mirren, Meryl or Kate. Winslet, the attention is not high - of course, the fat temperature is a little better, but compared with the actor, it is dwarfed. No one else, Leonardo and Daniel, is enough to cheer up all journalists.
Leonardo, a young acting genius, can he be crowned emperor in one fell swoop?
Legendary star Daniel. Sandler, will he set new records and miracles today?
Every topic is enough to shake people's hearts.
But Reese. Witherspoon got the actress - obviously much inferior.
"Thank you, thank you."
In a congratulatory accompaniment, Witherspoon had an irrepressible smile on his face.
"Reese, congratulations, I want to ask, have you thought about it before, or discussed winning the award with Daniel......
……
The things in the interview area are not worth the attention of the people in the theater.
Because, what happens next, is really worth caring about.
Reese. Witherspoon has already won the actress, which sets a bigger obstacle for Daniel to win a third statuette, and the Oscar is an award that doesn't like to make exceptions. If it gives the best actor to Daniel, then it means that it has to make two rare decisions at the same time: first, in just 6 years, the Oscar will be awarded to the same person three times - two of which are even together; The second is to award the actor and actress to one work at the same time, increasing this list to 6 in the 79th history of the Oscars, the last time was "Perfect" 9 years ago.
Does Oscar have such determination? Or are they willing to make an exception for Daniel?
……
Leonardo's best friend Toby. Maguire, who was also on the scene today, sat later in his seat.
Truth be told, when Hoffman said Witherspoon's name, he almost cheered! In Toby's view, this is tantamount to announcing Daniel's out, and he doesn't remember the situation at the 70th Academy Awards. He only knew that in his memory, this did not exist.
Remove Daniel from the clear and Leonardo won't fail tonight - even if he doesn't get it, Leo won't be a failure if Daniel doesn't get it.
There are many people who think like him.
But there are many who don't think so, especially Jack. Nicholson, his two Oscar winners, is in this situation - the actress who starred in the same work as him also won the actress for it. So no one recognizes the existence of this possibility more than he does. What's more, in 2003, he was shortlisted for the best actor with "About Schmidt", and met Daniel's "The Pianist" in a narrow way, and finally lost to Daniel, which also made him not underestimate Daniel.
"It's still possible for him, at least a little more likely than Leo." Jack commented on his fellow actor Leonardo, showing no mercy, in his opinion, even if Daniel can't get it, it won't be Leo's, he is still a little lacking.
Martin next to him. Scorsese was nervous about the director's award below, and when he said that, he nodded.
"If it weren't for Daniel, I'm afraid tomorrow would be going to be lively - now the whole world thinks he's going to win the prize."
"Whoever swept more than 70 percent of the outpost awards and almost all the major awards would be considered so."
The two stopped talking and set their eyes on Felicity, the last actress on stage. (To be continued.) )
