Chatty Hollywood

"That's it!"

Looking at Rick Heinrichs who was giving an acceptance speech on the stage, Charlotte thought in her heart——

Best Actor and Actor has already passed away;

Best Photography, got it;

Best Costume Design, missed out;

Best art direction, got it.

——So far, five of the seven nominations for the "Sleepy Hollow" crew have been confirmed.

All that's left are the two major awards: Best Director and Best Picture.

In terms of Best Director, it's not very likely. After all, Charlotte can only be considered a junior among Hollywood directors. If nothing else happens, it would be great to be nominated.

But we can look forward to the best picture——

On the one hand, this is because Paramount may have indeed done a lot of public relations for future peripheral income such as video tapes. This might work;

——After all, "Sleepy Hollow" was also the annual box office champion in North America in 1995. It makes sense that a film like this would win the Oscar for Best Picture.

On the other hand, it was because after watching more than half of the awards ceremony, Charlotte suddenly discovered that there was no film as dominant as last year's "Forrest Gump" in this year's Oscars.

"Away from Casino", "A Walk on Death Row", "Sense and Sensibility", "Braveheart"... including "Sleepy Hollow" itself, a series of nominated films have more or less achieved some success, but Not much.

——Because everyone has similar abilities and no one is particularly outstanding, the judges started to balance things again and divide the pork?

Charlotte felt that this possibility did exist.

However, this means that the Best Picture award may also be divided among the pigs.

In this case, the box office advantage of "Sleepy Hollow" becomes even greater...

Of course, this is just Charlotte's own speculation. The truth will take a while to be revealed.

Fortunately, I can’t wait much longer——

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

Hearing this announcement, Charlotte sighed inwardly.

Although I had long felt that there was no hope, when things came to a close, I still had an unspeakable feeling in my heart.

This made him clenched his fist subconsciously.

——I will come back next year!

While watching the tough guy from Australia deliver his acceptance speech on the stage, Charlotte was thinking in her heart.

*********

"How infuriating!"

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

Although she has also watched "Braveheart", Emily is not very interested in such purely male-themed movies. She hopes that Charlotte Booth can win the award for "Sleepy Hollow".

Unfortunately, the aesthetics of the Oscar judges are obviously not the same as Emily's.

"This is already good!"

Emily's father comforted his daughter,

"Winning two out of six nominations is much better than getting zero nominations. Especially, there are no particularly strong films in this Oscar..."

"Is Best Picture still possible?"

"this……"

The father who originally wanted to show off in front of his daughter was stopped by the question. In the end, he could only shrug.

"I'm afraid only PricewaterhouseCoopers, which is responsible for counting the votes, knows this."

"...Then I will work for PricewaterhouseCoopers in the future!"

After holding it in for a long time, Emily suddenly said such a sentence, which made her father dumbfounded——

My foolish daughter!

It’s good to have ambitions—no matter how bizarre they come from—but have you ever considered your poor math scores?

PricewaterhouseCoopers is an accounting firm!

Anyway, the daughter-loving father feels that Mr. Andrew, who teaches his daughter math, may have a hard time in the future...

*******

Similar situations are happening in many families.

Children always have great ambitions because of some weird things.

——Although situations like Emily's are indeed rare.

However, now that the Oscars ceremony has progressed, it has indeed entered the final and most exciting stage——

Best Picture Revealed!

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

Only those who are nominated actually have a chance——

The five nominated crews of "Sleepy Hollow," "Braveheart," "Apollo 13," "The Postman 2," and "Sense and Sensibility" remained calm on their faces, but they were praying silently in their hearts.

Then--

"Best Picture, Sleepy Hollow!"

With the announcement of Sidney Poitier, the first black actor in Hollywood history, the entire Dorothy Chandler Hall was filled with excitement at the awards ceremony.

Everyone was cheering.

However, from Charlotte's perspective, the emotions hidden under the cheers were completely different——

--Very good! It's us! !

Those who have this intention are naturally the crew of "Sleepy Hollow";

——Damn it, why did you lose to that crappy movie! ! ?

The depression was hidden under the applause. The ones who applauded extra loudly were the other four failed competitors.

--it is finally over! It's almost time to go to the toilet! !

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

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

In this case, going to the toilet is definitely a pain.

In fact, if it weren't for Jodie Foster and Pat Kingsley's early care, Charlotte would be fine, but Charlize, a newcomer participating in the Oscars for the first time, would probably suffer.

——Be embarrassed or endure it, this is definitely a difficult choice.

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

"What are you thinking? It's your turn to go on stage to receive the award!"

Lao Qiang tapped Charlotte hard on the shoulder, which brought Charlotte back to her senses, who was still distracted.

——Yes, the best picture belongs to us!

Only then did joy surge from Charlotte's heart. He patted Scarlett's shoulder, hugged Charlize who was standing next to him, and then walked towards the center of the stage.

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

***********

The final acceptance speech was delivered by Jodie Foster.

This is partly because the actress is indeed the first producer of the film.

On the other hand, it is also because compared to Charlotte as a director and Andrew as a screenwriter, Jodie Foster, who is an actor and turned producer, needs the recognition of this honor more.

However, Charlotte also knows who can do the most to win the best picture——

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

Charlotte whispered privately to Andrew Kevin Walker at the Vanity Fair party after the Oscar ceremony.

"This is also for ourselves! After all, you know-"

Having said this, Andrew winked at Charlotte and raised the glass of champagne in his hand.

"Is the videotape about to be released?"

Charlotte clinked glasses with him, but in her heart she lamented the unprofitability of a large company like Paramount.

PS1: "Natural and Accidental" is a movie released in Canada in 2006. PS2: In fact, the biggest winner at the 1996 Oscars was "Braveheart", but to be fair, this movie did not have an overwhelming advantage over the other movies, so I simply gave the best picture to "Braveheart". Sleepy Hollow". According to Oscar's urination, although he doesn't like commercial films, there are times when he surrenders to the box office. What's more, there are some special public relations functions in it. Will talk about it later. PS3: At the Oscars, it was really inconvenient for female stars to wear evening gowns to go to the toilet. In addition, eating was also troublesome. So, beauty comes at a price. PS4: In the blink of an eye, the limited exemption is over! PS5: Let’s add another chapter tomorrow! I have been urged for a long time and it is not easy to put it off any longer.
