Chapter 224 Oscar

"Josh Walter beats up people in public, suspected to be out of control! "

"Josh Walter Gets Paint Splashed"

"Josh Walter: The Inheritor of Chinese Kungfu!" "

"Walter was threatened by an extreme racist"

The heat of the summer file has not completely dissipated, and what happened to Josh naturally attracted the attention of various media.Media such as the "National Enquirer", of course, ignored Josh and slapped Josh hard. It raised the question that Josh was too famous to lose control of his mind.

Josh's response was simpler and cruder than the words used by the "National Enquirer": "Mr. Adam Davis will not mind if I go to your newspaper to demonstrate in person what mental loss is."

With the head-shaving tragedy still in sight, the National Enquirer chose to be as quiet as a chicken.

Relatively objective media, such as the Los Angeles Times, have expressed concern about this matter.In their view, Josh's behavior of beating someone was certainly wrong, but his actions were also conditional.

"Josh is not a racist, and he didn't make inappropriate remarks about it, he just starred in "American X-Files", a movie that exposed racism, and people followed him and wanted to throw paint on him. .Isn’t this terrible? It’s terrible to the extreme. Maybe the government is still complacent about the achievements they have made in eliminating racial discrimination, but in fact, innocent people have been hurt.”

"If Josh isn't quick enough, he'll be covered in stinky paint, his image as a star will be ruined, and the racists will be cheering wildly. Then there will be no directors and no actors since then. Dare to make this type of film, this time it's just a splash of paint, the next time it may be life-threatening."

The supermarket also provided surveillance video of the time of the incident.

"Fuck! This stupid pig insulted Josh's mother!"

"He has been waiting at the door with a paint bucket, but Josh doesn't know anything." The audience who saw the video cursed.

And the following video also attracted bursts of exclamation from the audience.

Josh dodged the paint bucket nimbly. Behind him, the assailant who was running hard was like a pig!

"Guys who never work out attack people?"

"Racists are such dumbass? Swear to God they ain't gonna make it."

"Wow, Josh is so fast! Fuck! Josh is so good!"

The next scene was simply a massacre scene. No wonder that guy kept crying to find his mother, and he threw the paint bucket aside.

"He polluted the supermarket environment."

"He's really ugly. Although I don't support violence to solve some things, I can't think of a better way to deal with this kind of person than violence."

"What if I like Josh more?"

The city of Los Angeles reacted the fastest to this incident. On the second day after the news report came out, there were countless pedestrians holding cards against racial discrimination on the streets of Los Angeles. They shouted passwords and protested in front of the city hall. ,OK.

"Now it just confirms the theme that "American X-Files" wants to express. Racial discrimination will lead everyone into the abyss, blind our eyes, and make each other hurt each other."

Although there are some media that put Josh on the hat of violence and cruelty, the vast majority of bystanders support him. In any case, he is only fighting back against possible injuries.

After examination, the assailant's body did not suffer any substantial damage, he just cried more than others.

This incident has been causing trouble in Hollywood for more than half a month, and Josh once again became the headline figure of the major media.

Although he beat up that idiot severely this time, Josh was still a little scared when he thought about it.

After all, racists are a group of terrible, extreme and radical guys. It is impossible for everyone to be such an idiot. Josh doesn't want to have a next time, and he doesn't want himself and his family to be hurt.

If he wanted to quit before to live a two-person world with Carlos, after this period of time, he was indeed a little tired.

Josh couldn't imagine what Carlos would look like when he saw him hurt. He also had dear Tom and Lisa, and Colin, and Gavin, and Serena... and his friends them.It's okay for him to suffer some injuries, but he doesn't want the people he loves to be sad for him.

After October, it's another awards season.

Josh has a total of 3 movies released this year, and 3 of them are feature films. Among these movies, "American X-Files" is undoubtedly the movie that most meets Oscar's taste, and "Saving Private Ryan" also meets the requirements of the Oscars. The taste of the judges is just that Josh is not the leading actor. Judging from the connotation of Ryan's role, it is very difficult for Josh to be nominated for a male supporting role.

What's more, no one knows better than Josh what will happen at next year's Oscars. "Saving Private Ryan" actually lost to the romance film "Shakespeare in Love". This can be called the biggest scandal in Oscar history, and of course Harvey Weinstein A vaunted feat.

"Hey, Josh!" Josh had just appeared at the Los Angeles Film Critics Association awards ceremony when he was stopped by a voice.

Josh immediately revealed a look of surprise: "Hey, Rui Fan! You're actually here!"

"I also have a movie shortlisted." Rui Fan thumped Josh's shoulder hard, "We are competitors!"

"River Phoenix is ​​finally going to exert his strength. I thought you would stay at home and sleep late."

Rui Fan shrugged: "If I don't work harder, I will probably starve myself to death."

This year's Los Angeles Film Critics Association did not award Josh, but Josh's family also has three or four trophies, and this year is purely for fun.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association has always been his staunch supporter, and he has a good relationship with the association's film critics. Of course, seeing Rui Fan today is a pleasant surprise. Unless he goes to the other party's house to sneak him out, Rui Fan Fan this guy will never go out easily.

Subsequently, the New York Film Critics Association and the Chicago Film Critics Association presented large and small awards one by one. Josh won several good actor trophies for his performance in "American X-Files".

Then came the Golden Globes and the Oscars.

Josh's attitude was already very calm.

He thinks his performance in "American X Files" is very good, but he wants to win another Golden Globe or Oscar winner-unless he is the son of God.

Apparently he wasn't, he was Tom Walter's own son.

The results of the 1999 Golden Globe Awards also verified this point.

He lost out to Tom Hanks for Best Actor in a Drama Series.In Josh's memory, it was true that Jim Carrey won the Golden Globe Best Actor by relying on "The Truman Show", but history did not repeat itself for him. Josh guessed that it was because he had already won the Best Actor once. .

In addition to Tom Hanks, "Saving Private Ryan" unsurprisingly won the best drama and best director, and "Shakespeare in Love" won the best comedy picture and best actress. The film harvest is very rich.

Josh's attitude was very calm, even if "American X-Files" was not shortlisted for a nomination, he didn't even frown.

After the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy quickly announced the list of nominees for this year's Oscars, and Josh was once again nominated for this year's Best Actor Oscar.

His rivals include Tom Hanks, Roberto Bernini, Ian McKellen and Nick Nolte.

It is worth mentioning that this year's best director nominees also include Peter Weir, but Josh's nominated movie is not "The Truman Show", but "American X-Files".

Compared to last year when he had to go on stage to present awards, Josh was much more relaxed this year. When the camera turned to him, he said hello lazily, and at other times he just looked at the stage and dozed off by the way.

The contract with Zegna officially expired a few days ago. Although Zegna showed sufficient sincerity, Josh still refused to continue to cooperate.

The person in charge of Zegna North America couldn't help asking Josh why, and Josh showed a meaningful smile: "You will know soon."

— Shortly after the Oscars, Zegna knew why.

The person in charge of the North American region of the brand let out a long sigh of relief: "Walter is really a nice guy, even though he is gay."

At that time, Zegna had already chosen a suitable successor, Josh’s photo had been removed from the counter, and he announced that coming out had little influence on the brand, not to mention that he had already helped Zegna open the North American market before that, the brand Influence rises rapidly.

"If Walter hadn't come out publicly, he would be to Zegna what Audrey Hepburn was to Givenchy, but it has to be said that choosing Josh Walter as the spokesperson was the most correct decision Zegna made in the 90s." In Zegna's Business In the book "Cheats", the author wrote so.

The final result of Oscar did not surprise Josh either.

Although he was shortlisted for the nomination, the award is undoubtedly a fantasy. The best actor was finally awarded to the Italian director and actor Roberto Bernini. The first Oscar winner.

Beyond that, he directed "Life is Beautiful," but he wasn't the most prominent of the more competitive directing nominees.

Best Actress was awarded to Gwyneth Paltrow as in history.

Josh swears that the moment Paltrow came to the stage to accept the award with a face full of excitement, the air at the ceremony froze for a few seconds before there was sparse applause.

Some people didn't applaud at all, such as Josh, whose arms were sideways during this time.

Of course, the college still has to give face. After Gwyneth Paltrow delivered her acceptance speech, the scene restored a harmonious and beautiful atmosphere.

It's just that everyone knows that among the actress nominees, Gwyneth Paltrow's performance is the most ostentatious.This year is a big year for Oscar winners, and the performances of the queen nominees are very good, including Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth", and Meryl Streep, Alice in "She's Lonely Than Fireworks". Millie Watson and Fernanda Montenago of "Central Station."

Whoever wins Best Actress won't elicit such a strong reaction, except for Paltrow.

Of course, Paltrow is not without acting skills. In the young year of the Best Actress Award, her performance was enough to compete for a Best Actress trophy, but this year, her award is a bit of an eyesore.

The author has something to say: the second update, Meme Chirp, Oscar is coming out after the end, and then...
