Chapter 411: Award Ceremony and Party
"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actor is, Jamie? Fox! "With the last Best Actress winner Charlize? Theron's voice, the thick jazz style music of the fifties and sixties in "The Soul Singer", couldn't believe Jamie? Fox stood up excitedly, hugged his friends one by one to celebrate, and then walked onto the stage.
In the distance, sitting Martin? Sean, behind Scorsese, secretly breathed a sigh of relief. To be honest, at the moment of the official announcement, he was still a little nervous in his heart, although the chance of knowing that this is very small, less than Bush Jr. signing the order to withdraw troops from Iraq, but if he can win, then he is the youngest Oscar winner for Best Actor, even if he can't wait for this stage in the future, this honor is enough for him to be remembered by many people.
But reality is reality after all, and no miracles happen, so he can only breathe a sigh of relief and wait for the end of the worst Oscar he has participated in so far.
The reason why I say this is not because Sean didn't win Best Actor, but because ...... Chris, the host of this year's session? Locke, it's so noisy. This guy is a comedian and a relatively well-known host, but the reason why the film school asked him to host this Oscar is not because of this, but because he is black.
That's right, it's political correctness, since the Oscars in 01, after the two black actors won the best actor and actress respectively, the Oscars seem to be starting to incorporate more political correctness, and this year invited Chris? Locke as the host, as well as Jean Jamie? The Fox award is a prime example of this.
Of course, Jamie? Fox's performance was still good, though a little worse than the other nominees β in Sean's eyes β but not without qualification. But Chris? Locke was terrible, with a high-pitched voice, boring jokes, and a deliberately inexplicable sense of humor on the part of the black man, who kept the whole award show in a quirky atmosphere.
For example, he teased Sean like this: "Why is he everywhere in the movies I've seen in the last four years?" He doesn't even act in movies, look at the list of the last ones, he must be in the producer column, he plays homosexuality, he plays heterosexual, he plays American, he plays British, God knows if he will play a black basketball star. β
Although it doesn't seem like a big deal to stand up, it's still not so comfortable, and it feels weird. When this guy introduced the Best Actor nominations, he secretly belittled several nominees, and Jamie, who is also black? Fox was very high, and as for making Fox in the audience, he was a little embarrassed.
Not only that, as early as more than ten days before the awards ceremony, around February 15, some media broke out that this unabashed guy said that the Oscars are a show that only gays will watch, and black heterosexuals will not watch this. It is conceivable how sensational this news will be, but the film school has finalized him as the host, so naturally he can't be replaced at this time, so he can only pinch his nose and admit it and wipe his ass, saying that this is Locke's unique sense of humor.
Of course, that's not the worst, Whoopi? Goldberg hosted the Oscars in '99, but suddenly attacked Clinton's economic policies, so much so that the live ABC TV had to cut off the TV signal for several minutes.
But anyway, it's certainly one of the worst Oscars, but now it's finally coming to an end, with Best Director and Best Picture awarded to Clint? Eastwood and his "Million Dollar Baby" came to an end.
That doesn't mean Sean can go back, the winners and presenters can then go to the media wall for photos and interviews, while the others are thunderous and attend Vanity Fair parties.
"Don't worry, Martin, the Academy's problems are well known." Sean comforted Scorsese so much at the party.
"I know the way, I know the way, I have prepared it before I came." Scorsese shrugged his shoulders, not looking that much concerned, but his brow remained slightly furrowed.
"Then think of something happy, Kate wants to be a family member with you." Sean then continued.
Hearing this, the people around him immediately burst into laughter, Scorsese couldn't help but smile and shook his head, seeing this, Kate immediately continued: "It's still valid, Martin, I'm serious." β
The laughter suddenly became louder, and Scorsese, who was a little helpless but smiled more obviously, spread his hands: "I still think it's better to leave this problem to the children." β
Well, Kate won Best Supporting Actress tonight, and a few months ago she gave birth to a boy, and Scorsese happened to have a daughter in '99 β old and strong, didn't he? So in her acceptance speech, Kate said that she would like to marry Scorsese, which caused a big laugh.
Seeing that Scorsese was in a better mood, Sean wanted to talk to him about a certain topic again, but after thinking about it, it didn't seem appropriate now, and the other party had preliminarily agreed, and the rest needed to be handled by experts like Vladimir, otherwise he would be taken away with a lot of words like the last negotiation with Weinstein.
Sean still has something to do, so after thinking about it, he decided to put it down for the time being, and after Kate left, he found an opportunity to leave too.
In the gloomy room, two people leaning against the wall hugged each otherβthe man pressed the woman against the wall, to be exact, and kissed her on the lips, over and over again, as if it would never be enough.
"Xiao ...... Sean ...... "After a moment, when the man and woman were briefly separated, the woman finally opened her mouth in a gasp," and ...... That's it. β
Sean didn't speak, just kissed her lips again and sucked greedily. It was another enthusiastic entanglement, and although Kate resisted, she still instinctively responded.
Finally, the two separated again, and Sean, who was still unsatisfied, wanted to continue, or even go further here, but when he looked at the pair of eyes that were deep in resentment and confusion, his heart immediately softened again.
He didn't make any more moves, just rubbed her face, and then whispered, "I haven't congratulated you on winning yet, Kate." β
"That's enough for now." Kate replied in an equally soft voice.
"No, no, Kate, you didn't understand what I meant," Sean laughed, "You know that you're the first person to play an Oscar winner and win an Oscar, and I'm sure you're the only one for a long time, and that's going down in history." β
Kate silently read his words a few times in her mouth, her eyes showing a look of surprise, obviously not thinking so much.
"Before that, I had collected some information to know what it would mean if you won the award." Sean then explained.
A glint of unknown meaning flashed in her gray-blue eyes, and after sighing lightly, Kate's hands also held Sean's face: "Thank you, Sean, actually...... You're doing a good job, but it's a pity ......."
"It's okay," Sean held her hand and rubbed it gently, "It's a good thing, didn't you nominate several times to get today's Best Supporting Actress?" β
He stared into her eyes, "You're so beautiful today, Kate, this golden one-shoulder dress matches you so well, and it's especially fascinating when you're giving out the best makeup on it." β
"That's because I didn't present the award with the avatar." Kate immediately said this, Sean immediately made a choked expression, and then the two of them laughed together.
Sean was the guest of honor this year, awarding the best costume design, and the organizers often design some bizarre award methods, and in the 70th they even found a real bear to appear with an envelope in his mouth, so it is common for award presenters and virtual characters to go on stage together.
And this time Sean is on the same stage as Edna in "The Incredibles"? Moore, that is, the character who designed the combat uniform for superheroes, since it is virtual, then the audience in front of the TV can see it, and as for Sean on the scene, he can only speak to the air.
Fortunately, he had participated in the rehearsals himself before, and basically grasped the rhythm, otherwise something might have gone wrong.
Speaking of which, Sean and "The Incredibles" also have a lot of fate, Pixar approached him in the late production stage, hoping that he would dub the villain. Although Sean was very interested, he had several movies to be busy at that time, so he could only politely decline the matter, but he didn't expect to be awarded the award at the Oscars with the role of "The Incredibles".
Before laughing, the atmosphere between the two became a little subtle, looking at each other quietly, and a faint affection hovered at the tip of their hearts, very faint, but not dispersed for a long time.
Sean knew that even if he continued at this time, Kate would not refuse, but he finally let go: "Then, as always, you go first, and I'll leave later." β
Kate didn't speak, took the initiative to kiss the corner of his mouth, and then walked out.
"Kate!" Just as she was about to leave the door, Sean suddenly stopped her again.
Kate turned around, still didn't speak, while Sean sighed and said in a earnest tone, "Okay?" β
Although there was no beginning or end to this, Kate still understood what he meant, a look of hesitation flashed from her face, and finally took a deep breath: "That's a good script." β
Then, she pushed the door out without looking back, and Sean was much more relaxed, although Kate did not answer directly, but the sentence had clearly expressed her attitude. So, in a few months, he can work with her again in a film, an independent film.
Rao was so, and most of the time he spent in the room, he was still a little depressed. Some mistakes, even if they are mistakes, are still made repeatedly, once or twice, three times or four times, and then they become the norm.
Maybe one day you will be burned to the fire, and you will learn a lesson, right? After coming out of the room, Sean said something to himself in his heart.
Then, he went back to partying, and the annual Vanity Fair party was a great place to expand his network, especially now that he has both a fortune and a re-nomination for the Oscar for Best Actor.
