Chapter 87: The Oscars (3)
Victor wasn't interested in Roosevelt's, and although he mentioned in his speech that "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" caused a lot of commotion at the scene, movies are movies and have little to do with politics.
Next, it's time for dinner.
The first award to come out was Best Supporting Actor.
The order of the Oscars, starting with this edition, has obviously undergone a noticeable adjustment.
There are a total of six nominees for Best Supporting Actor -
Walter Brennan, "The Westerners"
Albert Batherman, "The Overseas Correspondent"
William Gargaon, "Knowing the Other"
Jack Okai "The Great Dictator"
James Stephenson's "Tears of Incense"
John Ford, "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"
When Walter presented the list of candidates, there was a round of applause. This award made Leo and others stretch their necks, because there was John Ford inside.
The guest of honor was Gary Grant, the superstar who took the stage to unpack the list, his brow visibly shaking.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think this man winning Best Supporting Actor will undoubtedly make a legend in the history of Hollywood, that is, a director can be a good actor! Great John Ford! Gary Grant's voice made the two places cheer thunderously.
On one side is John Ford's 20th Century Fox phalanx, and on the other side is the legendary film company.
But in comparison, Victor's side is crazier.
Leo stood up with a roar, took off his suit and waved wildly: "Ahahaha! We've won a prize! Our Movie, Best Supporting Actor! Ladies and gentlemen! Cheers to us! ”
The surroundings immediately rolled their eyes at Leo.
Victor was a bit dumbfounded, and he won the first prize, which seemed to be very evil.
"Hehe, boss, that's good!" Zenerman sat next to him and said, "The first one won the prize, haha, it seems that we are lucky." ”
"It's hard to talk about this thing. Have you ever heard of mahjong? ”
"Nope. What is it. ”
"A toy. Often, the people who win at the beginning will die miserably. Victor said.
Over there, John Ford strode up to the podium, took the trophy from Grant's hand, without any expression on his face, turned his face to look at Victor's side, raised his hand, and saw that Victor did not react, John Ford nodded.
All eyes were on Victor.
"What's this old thing?" Victor muttered and stood up.
"Guys, I'm not happy to win this award tonight." John Ford's words silenced the scene: "** raised, just one best supporting actor, can't explain the greatness of "This Killer is Not Too Cold", I think Hollywood is a bastard place, black and white, right and wrong are not clear......"
The audience burst into laughter.
"This boring award belongs to Victor Ferro, thank you for making a good script, making a good movie, of course, you also chose a good supporting role, one day Director Lao Tzu can't get along, at least you can be an actor. Also, you, ** raised, take a good look at this young man, one day he will make you can't close your mouths. ”
With that, John Ford jumped off the stage, ignoring no one.
Damn, this old thing has so much personality!
I only heard Leo chatter beside him: "The last sentence is not good, if it were me, I would say this: one day he will make you unable to close your legs!" ”
"Get out!" Nicholas Zink slapped him in the face.
The second award is Best Supporting Actress.
Jane Darvel, The Grapes of Wrath
Judith Anderson, "Butterfly Dreams"
Ruth Josse, The Philadelphia Story
Barbara O'Neill, "Obey Your Orders"
Marjorie Lambbio "Happy Life"
Among the six people nominated, there are old, middle-aged and young people, who can be called the backbone of Hollywood actresses.
Marlene Dietrich was the guest of honor, and in the end, Jane Darvel received the award. Twentieth Century Fox was cheering again.
"That has a bit of a taste, I like it." Leo looked at Jane Darvel and said.
When Hollywood Mayor Jenny Grant took the stage, the atmosphere was noticeably tense as the best actor was to be revealed.
The six people nominated are worth playing.
Henry Fonda "The Grapes of Wrath"
James Stewart, The Philadelphia Story
Charles Chaplin, The Great Dictator
Raymond Macy, Lincoln, Illinois
Lawrence Oliver "Butterfly Dream / Rebecca"
Gregory Peck "This Killer Is Not Too Cold"
Of the six, Chaplin was the oldest and he was most looking forward to the award, Chaplin, who was dressed in a suit, just held his palm and looked at the list in Grant's hand viciously, his eyes almost bursting with fire.
Several others, James Stewart, Henry Fonda, and Lawrence Oliver have already become purple in Hollywood, with faint expressions, some bowing their heads in contemplation, some whispering with the people next to them, and Lawrence Oliver even kisses his current wife Vivien Leigh as if no one was around.
Gregory Peck was next to Victor, breathing like a bellows and sweating.
Not only him, but everyone in the legendary film company is holding back their eggs and looking forward to them!
This is the best actor! If Pike wins, the legendary company will have a superstar in the future!
Looking at the nervous Pike, Victor patted Pike on the shoulder.
He couldn't say anything to comfort him, partly because it was at this time, and partly because he was more nervous than Pike right now.
But Grant's grandson spent time torturing people on it: "The nomination for this award is very interesting, there are my old friends, there are also Hollywood's best superstars, and there are also rookies who can be nominated for the first time in a movie, and I think again, if I was judged, I must have been very difficult at that time." So, first of all, thank you to the judges. ”
"Announce it now!" Leo couldn't hold back and roared, causing him to laugh.
Grant also smiled, opened the list, and glanced at it: "Ladies and gentlemen, this year's Best Actor belongs to ...... No way! ”
Grant rarely burst into a foul mouth, his eyes were glazed for a moment, and then he looked down: "James, congratulations!"
Wow! The audience applauded like thunder, and MGM cheered thunderously!
James Stewart, who was dressed in a black suit, and Katharine Hepburn and Gary Grant, who participated in the movie, hugged each other, walked on stage, and cried with joy when they held the little golden man.
This current Hollywood superstar has always regretted that he couldn't meet the little golden man, but this time, he finally fulfilled his dream.
Pike, next to Victor, had a disappointed look on his face.
"Gregory, take a good look at the guy up there." Victor put his arm around Pike and said, "One day, you will be even more brilliant than him!" ”
"I know, boss! I'm going to give you that trophy! Pike gritted his teeth.
At this time, on the stage, James Stewart's words made the scene silent.
James said, "Thank you, I'm happy to receive this award, but I don't think I qualify for it......"
