Chapter 231 230. New Best Actress
On the big screen, the portraits of the six best actress candidates were hung.
At this moment, more than 40 million American viewers were watching the live broadcast at the same time, because this award was not only of great importance, but also highly competitive and full of suspense.
The other three are destined to be runners-up. The key is the competition between the Olsen sisters and Charlize Theron, both of whom have high voices.
Both are about same-sex themes, both underwent a lot of publicity and campaigning, both made great sacrifices for the roles, both contributed breakthrough acting skills, and were produced by the same company.
This time the test was not for three women, but for the Oscar judges, it was the Academy that was being tested.
The Olsen family gathered together again after the last Golden Globe Awards.
Little Elizabeth sat in the middle, with her parents sitting on both sides. The three of them held hands and stared at the TV screen.
Success or failure depends on this one move. If they can win the Oscar for Best Actress again, Ashley and Mary will become world-class female stars, completely shake off the labels of the past, and become gods in one fell swoop.
At the same time, it will greatly stimulate the performance of Shuangxing Entertainment, and the sales of the two sisters' peripheral products will definitely increase dramatically.
At Theron's home, her mother Gerda Theron was staring at the TV screen nervously.
Ever since she shot and killed her husband to protect her daughter that year and was acquitted, she took Theron to pursue her dreams and finally came to Los Angeles.
More than ten years have passed, and I am still alone, but my daughter has become stronger.
She started as a small role and gradually rose to the position of the heroine. Her box office appeal became stronger and stronger, and her reputation as a beautiful goddess became more and more famous.
As long as she wins the little golden man again, it will symbolize that her daughter's career has reached its peak.
"I must get it, I must get it!" Gerda's palms were already covered with sweat.
Dolby Theatre.
Adrien Brody opened the envelope, took a look and raised his eyebrows: "The winner of the Best Actress is Charlize Theron from Monster!"
Hurry! Instantly, the whole audience burst into warm applause, and everyone sent their blessings at this moment.
Eric looked to the side, worried that the Olsen sisters would lose their composure and end up as embarrassed as Joey in Friends.
The situation was just as he expected. The two sisters pounded the chairs angrily, but fortunately their actions were hidden and not in the camera.
He was about to speak out a reminder, but the two of them smiled and clapped their hands and gave their blessings, as if they really thought so in their hearts.
Well, the acting has indeed improved a lot.
The "Monster" crew was standing in a row behind Eric. Charlize Theron had already stood up excitedly. Although she had a smile on her face, there were tears in her eyes.
After making such great sacrifices and paying so much, I finally got what I wanted and did not let myself down.
She has been under great mental pressure during this period of time. Worrying about gains and losses is a normal state for her, and she is very conflicted inside.
Sometimes I think I must go all out to get it, and sometimes I think if I can't get it, forget it, if I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, it's my fate.
So when I heard the result, tears welled up in my eyes unconsciously.
After hugging the crew, Theron felt a little empty because she was still missing the blessing of an important person.
At this moment, Eric stood up, turned around and opened his arms, and the two immediately hugged each other.
As an investor, there was nothing wrong with his approach. If "Monster" won the Best Picture, he would be responsible for going on stage to receive the award.
After the two hugged each other, Theron finally walked onto the stage contentedly and received the trophy from Adrien Brody.
This kid was very well behaved this time, because he was really warned by the academy last time for kissing Halle Berry wildly.
Looking at the crowd in front of her, Charlize Theron cried, "I can't believe I won the Best Actress award. It's so exciting."
"I felt really bad and wanted to cry but I knew I couldn't because there wasn't enough time and I had so many people to thank."
Hahahaha A chuckle broke out among the crowd.
"I want to thank director Patty for writing such an excellent script and for convincing me to take part in it."
"As you can imagine, I was hesitant at first about taking the role, but thanks to Patty, thank you."
"Thanks to Sam, Bob and other media people, and Carol, Jennifer and other crew members. I can't read out your names one by one, but thanks to you, the film can be made."
"I also want to thank Christina Ricci. We work very well together. Without you, I wouldn't be able to perform so well. We make each other better."
The camera turned to Friday, Richie smiled and nodded, she looked beautiful today too.
“I also want to thank the film’s producers. Eric is not only a brilliant young talent, but also has amazing courage and vision.”
"You all know that he once directed the film for a day, but it's not just that. He also suggested adding a lot of the profound scenes in the film. I know this will make the film look cruel, but it also makes it more profound."
"But I heard that the movie's box office wasn't very ideal. I can only say sorry for that. Maybe I can compensate you privately."
HO!
HO!!! HO!!!
Upon hearing this, the audience erupted in thunderous cheers.
Just kidding, that's Charlize Theron, who is known as the most dazzling pearl even in Hollywood where there are so many beautiful women.
Everyone knows that she has been single for a long time and there have been several rumors about her, but no media has ever captured any solid evidence, so she is probably still single.
Now the goddess has sent out an invitation, although it may be a joke, but what if it is true?
But when they saw that the invitee was Eric, a super-rich man and a big shot in Hollywood, many people's jealousy disappeared.
No, really no! For Eric Cooper, it is understandable even if a goddess chases him.
On stage, Theron continued: "Time is running out, and I have to thank one person at the end, and that's my mom."
"You've sacrificed a lot for me to be able to live here and for my dreams to come true, more than I've sacrificed for the movies."
"My love for you cannot be expressed in words!"
“Thank you, thank you, thank you everyone!”
Papapapa Amid warm applause, Charlize Theron walked off the stage holding the golden statue, feeling the heavy weight in her hand, which contained a lot.
After she left, Martin Scorsese took the stage to present the Best Director award.
"The films nominated for Best Director are: Peter Jackson's "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King", Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation", Clint Eastwood's "Mystic River", Fernando Meirelles' "Lawless", and Eric Cooper's "Blue Is the Warmest Color."
Ashley and Mary lost the Best Actress award. Although they were unwilling to accept it, they could only focus all their attention on other awards.
If they can get it, although it is not an honor that belongs directly to them, it is also their credit. What's more, it is an award from their own men, which can be considered as compensation.
Seeing the two people's nervous expressions, Eric didn't take it seriously.
"Don't get excited. It's normal not to get it. My mentality is calmer than yours."
But such words of comfort obviously didn't work for the teenage girl who won her first Oscar. Instead, the two of them glared at him, probably blaming him for being so unambitious! Old Martin opened the envelope and smiled: "The winner is Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King. Congratulations."
The result was no surprise. The bearded man happily went on stage to receive the award.
Ashley and Mary puffed their cheeks in annoyance. There was only one award left, and the movie was so popular, it couldn't possibly win just one screenwriting award.
Finally, Spielberg took the stage to present the ultimate award, Best Picture.
"We always save the best picture for last because it's the sum of everything."
“The end of a journey always begins with a dream.”
"This year those dreams have been stirred by Tolkien's Lord of the Rings trilogy, Galloping Age, an adaptation of the excellent novels by Aubrey and Maturin, and a homage to horse racing from the last century."
"Mystic River is a thriller about the growing estrangement between three friends, Lost in Translation is a love story between an old man and a young girl, and Blue Is the Warmest Color describes the sincere feelings and lives of two young girls."
“All five films are the crystallization of the finest films, condensing the sweat and efforts of hundreds and thousands of people. Everyone deserves the loudest applause and praise.”
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Spielberg opened the envelope and smiled after reading the result.
He pushed up his glasses and said, "The winner of the 76th Academy Awards for Best Picture is The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King!"
The result was still no surprise. "The Lord of the Rings" has completely ascended to the altar, with 11 nominations and 11 wins, creating history and tying the record for awards in film history.
Peter Jackson led a large group of people to the stage to receive the award, and after giving a acceptance speech.
The host Christo invited all the winners to come on stage and take a group photo, leaving behind this precious photo together.
After the award ceremony, there was naturally the Vanity Fair dinner. As usual, Eric was too lazy to attend. He just walked through the ceremony, took some photos for the media, and then patted his butt and prepared to leave.
The result was the same as at the Golden Globe Awards, and someone stopped me when I was about to reach the door.
Looking back, it was still Paris Hilton.
The two had no contact after the Golden Globe Awards, and Eric almost forgot about her without her appearing in front of him.
Paris Hilton hurried over and said, "Eric, why do you always leave in such a hurry? You seem to dislike parties."
"No, it's not that I don't like parties, I just have no interest in ineffective socializing, and there are already too many celebrities here, they don't need me."
Paris Hilton obviously couldn't understand his point of view. This chick was a socialite, the kind who would die if she didn't socialize. It would take many years for her to wake up.
"Eric, you made history. That's a cool way to say it. I was almost mesmerized by you when I was watching from below."
"Haha. I just felt like saying this. So you came here specially to congratulate me?"
"Not entirely. I've thought about your suggestion, the reality show, for a long time and I think it's a good idea to give it a try."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes, I discussed it with Nikki, and we will appear on camera together."
"I know Paris. MGM will not let you down. Someone will contact you in the next few days. Let's finalize the details first. I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation."
"I will definitely work with you. It's being said that MGM is the company that knows how to promote new talents. Come on, let's go in and have a drink to celebrate."
Eric checked the time and said, "Forget it this time. I have something else to deal with. I'll treat you next time."
Watching Eric get into the car and leave, Paris Hilton stomped her feet in anger.
She dressed up specially for the occasion today and even used a special perfume. It was said that the formula was very unique and had an aphrodisiac magic, especially having a strong appeal to men.
Oscar was one reason for doing this, and another reason was to hook up with this guy Eric Cooper.
It would be such a pity if I couldn't sleep with such an outstanding man once.
But she failed again. She had failed twice.
She took out a small mirror from her bag and couldn't help touching her face: "Am I not pretty enough? Why am I not attractive to him? Damn it!"
"No, everyone praised me for being beautiful. There must be something wrong with the perfume. Those guys tricked me. It must be fake."
"No, I need to find another opportunity to try. I will definitely have to sign the contract in a few days. Maybe I can dress a little more boldly. I don't believe you won't take the bait."
Snap!
Charlize Theron pushed open the door and walked into the villa, turned on the switch, and the lights came on.
Then she covered her mouth in surprise, and all she saw were red roses, so beautiful.
Eric stood there, holding a beautiful flower in his hand, looking at her with burning eyes.
"Did you do this, honey?"
Eric nodded, and after Theron left the ceremony, he arranged for everyone to decorate everything to give her a surprise.
If you don't win the prize, then it would be reasonable to change the reason and turn the surprise into consolation.
"OMG! Oh my god! Honey, my heart is pounding and it's about to burst out!"
Eric smiled and said, "Then ask her to wait a moment, because I will give you my blessing next."
Snap! With a snap of fingers, the music starts.
Flamenco dance! Known as the most provocative and sexy dance for men, Eric dances with powerful and lustful movements in his eyes.
Looking directly into his eyes, Theron felt her heartbeat continue to accelerate, her whole body seemed to be on fire, and her desire was aroused.
Click! Click! The leather shoes made a rhythmic sound when they touched the ground. Eric picked up Theron and spun him around. Before he knew it, the little golden man had fallen to the ground.
No one cared about it, the hot atmosphere and desire almost swallowed up the two of them.
Spinning and jumping, Charlize Theron cooperated with him and came to the window.
Suddenly, Beverly Hills was brightly lit, and countless fireworks flew out, covering the entire sky, just like the night of her birthday.
Under the beautiful fireworks, a passionate kiss conveyed their love, and the two figures were closely intertwined.
"Eric, I love you!"
"Me too, baby!"
