"That's it!"

Looking at Rick Hainriches, who was giving his acceptance speech on stage, Charlotte pondered in her heart -

Best Actor and Actress, has already flown in;

Best Cinematography, got it;

Best Costume Design, Missed;

Best Art Direction, here.

- So far, five of the seven nominations for the crew of "Guillotine Valley" have already had results.

The only remaining are the two main events: Best Director and Best Picture.

As for Best Director, it's not very likely. After all, Charlotte can only be regarded as a small character among Hollywood directors, and if nothing else, it would be nice to be nominated for a mix.

But the best picture can be expected -

On the one hand, this is because Paramount may have done a lot of public relations for the sake of peripheral income such as videotapes in the future. It might work;

- After all, no matter how you say it, "Guillotine Valley" was also the annual box office champion in North America in 1995. It makes sense for such a film to win the best picture.

On the other hand, after watching most of the awards ceremony, Charlotte suddenly found that at this year's Oscars, there was no film that dominated the world like last year's "Forrest Gump".

"Far from the Las Vegas", "Death Row Prisoner Walk", "Sense and Sensibility", "Braveheart" ...... also includes "Guillotine Valley" itself, a series of nominated films, all of which have more or less won something, but not much.

- Because everyone's strength is similar and there is no particularly outstanding one, the judges have begun to balance and divide the pork again?

Charlotte felt that there was a real possibility.

However, in this way, it also means that the award of Best Picture is also one of the pork that may be divided.

In this case, the box office advantage of "Guillotine Valley" has become greater......

Of course, this is just Charlotte's own speculation. How the truth is, it will take a while to reveal.

Fortunately, I can't wait long-

“...... Best Director, "Braveheart," Mel Gibson!"

Hearing this announcement, Charlotte sighed in her heart.

Although I have long felt that there is no hope, when it comes to the end, there is still an indescribable feeling in my heart.

This made him subconsciously clench his fists.

- I'll be back next year!

While watching the fierce man from Australia give his acceptance speech on stage, Charlotte thought to herself.

"It's infuriating!"

Looking at Mel Gibson, who was saying "thank God" for her acceptance speech on the TV screen, Emily depressedly grabbed a handful of potato chips and stuffed them into her mouth.

Although she has also seen "Braveheart", Emily is not very interested in this kind of purely male movie, and she prefers that Charlotte Booth can win an award for "Guillotine Valley".

Unfortunately, the aesthetic of the Oscar judges is obviously not the same as Emily's.

"That's already good!"

Emily's father comforts his daughter,

"Winning two out of six nominations is much better than getting a clean sheet. In particular, there are no particularly strong films at this Oscars......"

"Is it still possible to be the best picture?"

"This ......"

The father, who wanted to pretend to be a force in front of his daughter, was asked, and in the end, he could only shrug his shoulders,

"I'm afraid only PwC, which is responsible for counting votes, knows about this. ”

“...... Then I'm going to work for PwC in the future!"

After holding it for a long time, Emily actually came up with such a sentence, which made her father cry and laugh-

O my stupid daughter!

It's good to have ambition – no matter how bizarre it may be – but have you ever considered your poor math grades?

PwC is an accounting firm!

Anyway, his daughter's father thinks that Mr. Andrew, who teaches his daughter mathematics, may have to work hard in the future......

A similar situation is playing out in many families.

Children will always have great ambitions because of some strange things.

- Although it's rare to see Emily like that.

However, the Oscars have indeed entered the final and most exciting stage so far -

The best picture is revealed!

Especially, considering that there is no dominating film like "Forrest Gump" at this year's Oscars, this means that the suspense is maintained to the end.

Only those who are nominated actually have a chance -

The five nominated crews of "Guillotine Valley", "Braveheart", "Apollo 13", "Postman 2", and "Sense and Sensibility" were silent on their faces, but they were silently praying in their hearts.

And then—

"Best Picture, "Guillotine Valley"!"

With the announcement of Sidney Poitier, the first black actor in Hollywood history, the entire Dorothy Chandler Hall was boiling as the scene of the awards ceremony.

Everyone was cheering.

However, in Charlotte's opinion, the emotions hidden under the cheers are very different -

- Great! It's us!!

has this meaning, of course, it is the crew of "Guillotine Valley";

- Damn, how did you lose to that broken movie!?

Hiding the frustration under the applause, the applause was extra loud for the other four failed competitors.

It's finally over! It's almost time to go to the bathroom!!

Those who think so are the actresses who have nothing to do with themselves and wear various dresses.

There's no way, who makes it difficult for the actresses to take off their dresses, and the award ceremony is extraordinarily long!

In this case, wanting to go to the toilet is definitely a painful thing.

In fact, if it weren't for Jodie Foster and Pat Kingsley's early care, Charlotte would have been fine, and Charlize, a newcomer who participated in the Oscars for the first time, would have suffered.

- To lose face or to endure it, this is definitely a difficult choice.

Of course, with the help of Charlotte's spell, there are other solutions, but-

"What are you thinking, it's time for you to go on stage to accept the award!"

The old gun slapped Charlotte on the shoulder, which brought Charlotte, who was still distracted, back to her senses.

- yes, the best picture is ours!

Joy welled up in Charlotte's heart, and he patted the old gun on the shoulder, hugged Charlize who was standing beside him, and then walked to the center of the stage.

There, the other two producers of the "Guillotine Valley" movie, Jodie Foster and Andrew Kevin Walker, are waiting for him with smiles on their faces......

The acceptance speech was delivered by Jodie Foster at the end.

This is partly because Miss Actress is indeed the first producer of the film.

On the other hand, it is also because compared with Charlotte, who is a director, and Andrew, who is a screenwriter, Judie Foster, who is an actor and a producer, needs this honor more.

However, Charlotte also knows who can get the best picture, who will contribute the most -

"Andrew, Paramount has invested a lot of money this time!"

At the Vanity Fair party after the Oscar ceremony, Charlotte whispered to Andrew Kevin Walker in private.

"It's for our own sake, too! After all, you know—"

With that, Andrew winked at Charlotte and raised his glass of champagne in his hand.

"Is the tape going to be released?"

Charlotte clinked glasses with him, but she also lamented in her heart that a large company like Paramount could not afford to be unprofitable.
