Chapter 298 The 70th Oscars 3
In order to ensure the best actress as much as possible, whether it is Ryan, Nicole, or the team behind the two, they did a lot of work.
Putting Nicole's own efforts and Harvey Weinstein's public relations aside, just talking about Ryan's secret moves, he probably only knows the world himself.
Because of "Titanic" and James Cameron, after entering the Internet age in his previous life, he had carefully read the detailed information of this award ceremony. The heroine Helen Hunter in "The Best" is a very powerful competitor, and she also has the advantage of an authentic American. When Nicole hit her, she didn't win.
Therefore, Ryan published the general content of the movie in advance and rejected James Brooks' adaptation request. The film's project was delayed until the end of last year, in order to eliminate the strongest opponent.
Even if he and Harvey Weinstein have done what they should do, they are still only 60 to 70% sure. There are too many factors that are uncontrollable in the Oscar selection, such as nationality. Sometimes foreign countries are a huge obstacle, but sometimes they become a huge advantage.
To win an award, a little bit of luck is an essential factor.
Despite being confident about her performance in "Irene Brookwich", Nicole still seemed a little nervous, holding Ryan's hand, getting tighter and tighter.
"Relax, my dear, no one who belongs to you can take away!" Ryan whispered to comfort.
"Yes, no one who belongs to me can take away!" Nicole's words were full of confidence, which sounded like something else.
On the stage, Jeffrey Rush is introducing the nominees, "Let's see who won the Best Actress nomination, Nicole Kidman, Erin Brockwich, Kate Winslet, Titanic, Judy Denge, Mrs. Brown, Helena Carter, "Wings of the Pigeon". Julie Gisdy, "Sunny Glow"!"
Listening to these names, Ryan's head turned quickly. Kate Winslet didn't have to think about it. It was not only the first time that he was nominated for the Best Actress, but also the film that was nominated for "Titanic". The chances of winning the award were almost zero. Helena Carter and Julie Gisdy were too far apart, and the only threat was Judy Denkey.
Judy Denge not only has the advantage of British nationality, but also has a very deep qualifications. She is a veteran Hollywood actor. It is hard to say that the academy will not give her this little golden man. After all, Nicole is both young and beautiful. She can wait for a few years.
When Ryan thought of this, Nicole could naturally think of it. She gently bit her lower lip and waited for Geoffrey Rush, who was also the Australian gang, to announce the final answer.
"We will definitely win!"
Ryan was full of confidence. He had been planning this day since he entered Hollywood. This was his promise to Nicole. It was also his compensation for Nicole...
Jeffrey Rush slowly opened the envelope, quickly found Nicole's location, and showed an inexplicable smile.
"The best actress of this year is...Nicole Kidman, "Irene Brockevich"!"
“Yes!”
Ryan waved his arm heavily and jumped up from the seat. The excitement on his face was beyond words, and he was even more excited than winning the award!
"Nicole, we won!"
The Australian girl was still sitting in a daze. She seemed to be unable to believe that she had won the highest honor as an actor. It was not until Ryan gently pulled her down that she stood up, "Is it me, Ryan? Are you sure it's me?"
"I'm sure, very sure!"
Without saying anything, Ryan gave her a celebratory hug. "Dear, don't let them wait in a hurry!"
Nicole finally showed a bright smile, hugged and celebrated with the people around her, and walked towards the stage. The audience had already stood up and applauded, and countless eyes watched Nicole reach the top.
"Congratulations, Nicole!"
"Thanks!"
After taking the little golden man handed over by Jeffrey Rush, Nicole made a somewhat exaggerated breathing action and stood in front of the microphone, "As an actor, I have always dreamed of such a day, but has this day really arrived? Isn't it dreaming, am I?"
Listening to Nicole's incoherent words, Ryan was the first to slam his palm, and then there was a tide of applause, proving that the cold and beautiful girl on the stage was not dreaming.
"I prepared a lot of awards in advance, but when the Little Golden Man, the Best Actress, got it, I realized that all the prepared things were forgotten. Well, thank the judges for their recognition of me, thanks to my sister Antonia, thanks to director Soderbergh, thanks to Ms. Erin Brockwich, thanks to everyone in the crew, thanks to my agent Pat, thanks to Taylor, your phone call last night brought me good luck!"
Nicole slowly turned her eyes, and her light blue eyes finally fell on the face engraved in her heart. The bright eyes that were as bright as the sky after the rain were no less excited and excited than her.
"I put the person I want to thank the most behind. You created one character after another for me and wrote one script after another. Without your help, it would be impossible for me to be the one I am now, most of the little golden man who is the best actress, should belong to you."
"Everyone is saying that Nicole Kidman has taught a genius. In fact, I am the lucky one! You will always be my favorite person! Meeting you on the Avenue of Stars was the most worth showing off and most proud thing in my life..."
Nicole's voice gradually choked up. In the eyes of others, the love she said was the love between siblings. Only Ryan and her understood that it contained too much.
When Nicole walked off the stage and returned to her side, Ryan took the initiative to hug her. If she didn't want to make a fork, such a congratulatory hug would only be a touch and could not vent the enthusiasm that rippled between the two.
It was not just Ryan, just like before going on stage, Nicole hugged and celebrated with her familiar friends one by one.
"Let me see what the difference between the Little Golden Man at Best Actress." After Nicole sat down, Ryan took the trophy that represented the highest honor from her.
"Ryan." Nicole's voice was so low that only two people could hear it.
"What's wrong, my dear?" Ryan's eyes swept through Nicole's eyes, and he keenly noticed the enthusiasm hidden in the deepest part and burned everything.
"I'm moved."
The extremely low voice was filled with flames, "I want to go home!"
Ryan rolled his eyes secretly, ignored the excited woman, and turned his energy to the continued award ceremony.
"Titanic" can no longer stop it. The melody of "My Heart Eternal" is played again and again on the stage. The three Little Golden Man, the best editing, best photography and best art director, were also praised by the crew.
At this point, "Titanic" has won nine Little Golden Man, which is getting closer and closer to the record of "Ben Hur".
Finally, it was Ryan's turn to receive the nomination for the award - Best Original Script.
"Ryan Jenkins in "Titanic", Woody Allen in "Deconstruction of Love Madman", Simon Bofoy in "The Six Heroes of Light Pig", Matt Damon in "The Mind Catcher", Ben Affleck in "Irene Brockwich" Ryan Jenkins."
Ryan won two nominations for this award. According to common sense, he is very likely to win the award. People around him also think so. If "Titanic" can win this award, plus "My Heart Eternal" which is almost 90% sure, it will at least tie the winning record of "Ben Hur".
However, the Oscars are beyond the controllability of manpower and the characteristics of pork being divided into large prizes are fully demonstrated in this award.
"Congratulations to Matt Damon and Ben Affleck, the one who won the best original script is "The Mind Catcher"!"
A faint sigh came from around him. Although he expected this possibility, Ryan was still a little disappointed. Fortunately, there are Best Director, Best Film and Best Original Songs below to win.
As for the Best Actor? I'm afraid he is the one with the lowest chance of winning among all nominees.
Just as Ryan thought, because he got rid of "The Best of Good" in advance, the honor of Best Actor fell on Jane Fonda's younger brother, veteran movie star Peter Fonda.
This was a free gift from Ryan, after all, no one would know this.
"There is still a chance in the future."
Looking at the old man who was giving the award speech on the stage, Nicole patted his arm comfortably, "One day you will stand on it."
"And that day is not far away." Ryan cooperated and showed a playful smile.
Three of the four individual nominations were lost in just a short time. If it were someone else, it would definitely bring disappointment. Ryan had a good mentality and knew what the focus of this session was and what he should strive for. As Nicole said, his little golden man would have opportunities in the future.
Besides, I shouldn't return empty-handed this time.
There is no doubt that "My Heart Eternal" has an overwhelming advantage in the best original song, and if this award is given to other songs, the fairness and justice of the Oscar will definitely be strongly questioned, even if it is only relative fairness and justice.
Standing on the stage, Ryan took over his second best original song from Jennifer Lopez. Who would have thought that an actor who wanted to win a performance award would always win other miscellaneous little golden men. I have to say that things in the world are sometimes more tortuous than movies.
"Thank you for your recognition of me, thank you Celine for your perfect interpretation of this song. This is the tenth Little Golden Man in "Titanic". If you have some thanks, you can say it later and I will come back!"
After saying that, Ryan strode off the stage.
Chapter completed!
