Chapter 214 The Ceremony Begins

The 69th Oscars was held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood. When Josh arrived at the scene, the red carpet was already crowded with people. The weather was a little cold today, and it was still drizzling outside, but this did not stop the enthusiasm of movie fans in the slightest.

As soon as Josh showed up, many fans holding signs shouted his name loudly. The screams and roars were endless, and the outside air was almost cut off.Josh waved his hand towards the place where the voice was the loudest, and the screams exploded immediately as if inspired, setting off wave after wave of climax on the red carpet scene.

In addition to being nominated for Best Actor, Josh is also the presenter of the Best Supporting Actress Award this year. This is his second time as the presenter of this award.

He is chic and handsome in a Zegna suit. The old and elegant style of this brand is not incompatible with Josh's youthful and lively style, but adds a touch of maturity to him. Just like at this moment, it is clear that Josh is not the only one on the red carpet, but he But it is the focus of all media and audience attention.

His crisp suit, handsome appearance and excellent figure are undoubtedly the best advertisements.

After Josh wore Zegna on the Oscars red carpet, Zegna’s demand among Hollywood actors soared. This brand almost took away one-third of the business of other luxury men’s clothing, especially Versace. After the contract, Versace's sales in North America plummeted, and several stores were closed, and it was no longer the situation of aggressive expansion a few years ago.

Anyone knows that working with Josh is a surefire deal.

There are tens of thousands of Hollywood stars, but only a handful of them can appear on time on the Oscar red carpet every year, not to mention that the box office performance of the movies starring Josh ranks among the top in the world every year-exposure rate is undoubtedly a kind of advertising.

The endorsement contract with Josh only cost Zegna a few million dollars, but since the Oscars last year, the brand has earned dozens of times the endorsement fee in North America. I believe that after this year’s Oscar red carpet, what Josh wore This set of suits will immediately become a hit.

This year's host is still Billy Crystal. In the background, Josh had a short conversation with the host. Although the two did not have much communication in private, the movies starring each other also had a summer vacation. Joe Shi has always admired Billy Crystal's talent, and Crystal also admired Josh's unrelenting character.

"If you come to a talk show, you must be a very good host." Crystal laughed.

During the conversation before the ceremony, Josh met Sandra Bullock again. Sandra attended the Oscars this year as an award presenter. When she saw Josh, she waved excitedly and chatted with Josh. It took more than ten minutes before he left without feeling satisfied.

In addition to Sandra Bullock, Josh also met many acquaintances, even Chris O'Donnell who competed with him in "Scent of a Beauty".

Chris O'Donnell, who was still on the same starting line as Josh, developed fairly smoothly, and participated in films such as "Batman Forever" and "Love and War", the latter starring him and Sandra Bullock , of course, compared with Josh who is now in full swing, Chris O'Donnell is obviously a step behind.

There are malicious media advocating the so-called "what if theory", if Chris O'Donnell starred in "Scent of a Woman"...

Of course Josh scoffed at such reports, but Chris O'Donnell didn't necessarily think so.

Stories of overnight success are not uncommon in Hollywood. Only useless guys will complain that their opportunities are taken away by others, and hard-working people will only grit their teeth and climb up, no matter what means they use.

There is also Jim Carrey, who lost the competition in "The Truman Show". Seeing that Josh was not hostile at all, Jim Carrey greeted him warmly: "You also like the script of Truman, and I like it too." Like it, it at least proves that our vision is the same."

After the time for chatting was over, the awards ceremony officially began.

Josh was arranged to sit in the second row this time, with Milos Forman on his right, the crew of "The English Patient" on his left, and French actress Juliette Binoche in the back row.

After Billy Crystal's hearty performance, the awards officially began.

Josh also adjusted his suit, and slowly walked from the front stage to the backstage, and then to the center of the stage.

As the presenter of the Best Supporting Actress Award, what he wants to present is the first heavyweight award tonight.

This year's Best Supporting Actress nominees included Juliette Binoche, Joan Allen, Barbara Hershey, Lauren Bacall and Marianne Jean-Baptiste, and ultimately, Juliette Binoche beat out Lauren Bacall at the Golden Globes to claim the prized trophy.

The actress is one of the biggest French actresses in Hollywood, having made her name through the classic "Blue White Red" trilogy and this year she has created another classic role in "The English Patient".

Subsequently, the best supporting actor award was awarded to Cuba Gooding Jr., who impressed the Oscar judges with his outstanding performance in "Mr. Sweetheart", and Edward Norton regretted missing out on this award.

Josh could feel Norton's disappointment through the crowd.

Of course, at this time, Courteney Love is probably even more disappointed.

Then Jim Carrey took the stage to present the best visual effects award.

In the end, "Independence Day" won this award. Although Josh was not the one who won the award, some people still stood up to congratulate him. After all, the success of "Independence Day" this year is obvious to all. Josh, as one of the leading actors, should also share The glory of this film.

Courteney Love's Best Makeup Award went to Eddie Murphy's The Fat Professor, and Sandra Bullock's Best Art Direction went to The English Patient.

Afterwards, the singers took to the stage to sing.

Celine Dion and Madonna sang the theme song of the movie respectively, which received bursts of applause from the scene.

Tonight's award ceremony was a bit boring for Josh, he was surrounded by naked people except Milos Forman, although he had a relationship with Mr. Director during the filming of "Sex Book Tycoon" Not bad, but there is always such a thing as a generation gap.

He also wanted to chat with Mr. Director, but he didn't know what to say.

Oscar night is just too long.

It's okay to give him the answer all at once like last year.But the best actor awards are often at the end, whether he can win or not, he has to wait patiently and bored until the last moment.

And it is very likely that the award does not belong to him.

Josh kept his eyes on the center of the stage, and his soul had already drifted to nowhere.

Subsequently, the best sound effect, best costume design, and best sound editing were awarded one by one, and "Ghost in the Night" and "The English Patient" each won.

Now that the award ceremony was going on, the atmosphere on the scene was getting a bit boring. The host Billy Crystal walked onto the stage at this time, and started to make jokes and make a heated atmosphere.

"Josh Walter once again appeared on the Oscar scene. God told me, he is 55 years old this year, but he just loves to pretend to be a 27-year-old face." Billy Crystal raised his voice and used "Argentina Don't Cry For Me" ” and sang, “Walter, why have you been here?”

"Walter, why are you here all this time?"

"Why have you been here? Brad didn't dare to come."

Crystal's ridicule immediately elicited bursts of laughter from the audience, only Tom Cruise's expression was slightly complicated, he was worried that Billy Crystal would also use him and Josh to make a harmless joke.

Even if it's just a joke, Cruise isn't too keen on it.

Josh quickly stretched out his hand in a gesture of begging for mercy.

Crystal is still unwilling to let him go: "Before the Oscars, the probability of Josh Walter winning the trophy was only 8.8%, but now, his probability of winning has risen to 18.8%. Why?"

"Because his eyes are magic. I asked God, why can't I win an Oscar? God told me, you have to be as handsome as Josh Walter. I knew his answer immediately, I will never win an Oscar in my life. "

Billy Crystal's ridicule caused a burst of laughter from the audience, and the atmosphere of the ceremony finally became a little hotter. Next, the best live-action short film, best documentary, best foreign language film and other awards were presented one by one. The winners Excitement was written on his face, and Josh could clearly see the tears in everyone's eyes across the auditorium far away.

But according to previous predictions, he may have the chance to cry on stage this year.

Josh sighed softly, and continued to pay attention to the awards later.

He thought that even if he didn't win the award, he shouldn't feel angry or angry, only a little disappointed.

After all, being shortlisted multiple times at his age is enough to prove his strength.Oscar is not an award that likes to encourage young people. Unless the young man is so outstanding that the organizing committee can't ignore it, it will be stingy and give a nomination.

Unknowingly, the awards ceremony has lasted for more than an hour.

The most exciting moment is coming.

Best Original Screenplay went to the Coen Brothers' Fargo, Best Adapted Screenplay went to Switchblade, and Best Film Editing went to The English Patient, where the previously ambiguous Best Picture The belonging has gradually begun to become clear.

Best picture is bound to be between "Frozen" and "The English Patient."

Then came the Best Actress award.

Nicolas Cage, last year's best actor, took to the stage to announce the ownership of this important award.

Nicolas Cage didn't procrastinate, flipped through the envelope, and directly reported the result: "The winner of the Best Actress is——Francis McDormand, "Fargo", congratulations!"

Cohen's sister-in-law Frances McDormand accepted her first actress trophy with excitement.

Josh's mood became tense involuntarily at this moment.

For him, the moment of judgment has come.
