[US Entertainment] 1994

Chapter 225 Final Chapter

After the awarding of the actor awards, the best director award followed, and in the end, Steven Spielberg won this award again with "Saving Private Ryan".

Josh applauded Steven vigorously from the audience.

Steven walked off the stage with a smile on his face, and hugged several main creators one by one. Josh winked at him: "Congratulations, Steven."

"Thank you."

Next, the most eye-catching moment of the 71st Oscars is coming.

Of the five films nominated for best picture, which one can go to the end and win this trophy that symbolizes honor?

The biggest hit before the Oscars is naturally "Saving Private Ryan". Although in the eyes of film critics, the quality of "Saving Private Ryan" is inferior to that of "Schindler's List", but among the nominated films, "Saving Private Ryan" has the biggest advantage and is the most likely to win the cup.

"The winner of the best picture is-"Shakespeare in Love", congratulations!"

Josh noticed that Spielberg's face froze at this moment, and then quickly returned to normal.

The reactions of the people below the stage were much more exaggerated. Even though the awards ceremony was not suitable for talking, there were still rustling conversations unavoidably.

Why is it "Shakespeare in Love"?Everyone wanted to know the answer, but it wasn't until Harvey Weinstein and the Shakespeare in Love crew took to the stage that it dawned on everyone:

Not dreaming, "Shakespeare in Love" really beat "Saving Private Ryan"!

Steven Spielberg, Tom Hanks and Josh Walter's "Saving Private Ryan" lost out to John Madden's "Shakespeare in Love"!

This is simply the biggest joke in Oscar history.

The camera slowly scanned the audience.

Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks have calm expressions, others are either frowning or smiling, as for Josh Walter...

When the camera caught on to Josh, he had a faint smile on his face, and the next second, he shrugged at the camera with a helpless expression on his face.

The camera stayed on him for a full ten seconds before slowly moving away.

As for his shoulder shrug, different people have different interpretations.

But most people think that Josh is unwilling to accept the fact that "Shakespeare in Love" beat "Saving Private Ryan".

But before Josh himself could speak, the new Oscar winner Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't help jumping out: "The result of the award ceremony is the decision of each Academy member after voting. There is no fraud, even if Walter It's a pity that "Saving Private Ryan" didn't win the award, and it's very rude to make such an action at the award ceremony, of course I can understand, maybe he has gone to his head with anger."

Gwyneth Paltrow has been very proud of herself during this period. She beat other competitors to win the Oscar when she was nominated for the Oscar for the first time, and her boyfriend is the handsome guy Ben Affleck who has just emerged.

Although there are endless rumors about her queen, Gwyneth Paltrow didn't take it to heart at all, those people were just jealous of her.

Josh's counterattack was also quick: "Yes, I was carried away by anger, and I was really jealous to think that you won an Oscar at the same age as me."

Gwyneth Paltrow is 26 years old this year, and Josh won the Oscar winner at the age of 26-a few months younger than Paltrow. As for Paltrow's queen-Mary Ma Terin, Janet Gaynor, Joan Fontaine, Audrey Hepburn, Julie Christie, Jennifer Jones, Grace Kelly... There are many actresses who are younger than her. Among these actresses, No one has been so criticized by the media after winning an Oscar.

Ben Affleck couldn't help defending his girlfriend: "I think people should be humble, even if the existence of something makes you unacceptable, but it has become a fact, you should treat it with tolerance."

Josh smiled slightly: "Why does Miss Gwyneth Paltrow and her boyfriends always like to go into battle together? Man, before you, I and her ex-boyfriend Mr. Brad Pitt are also very good He loves playing alongside Paltrow as much as you do, friend."

"I really don't understand why "Shakespeare in Love" can surpass "Saving Private Ryan". I can only say that Mr. Harvey Weinstein is really an excellent publicist. If Oscar sets up a trophy for publicists in the future , it could be named the 'Weinstein Cup'."

Of course, Harvey Weinstein couldn't help but say: "I hope that Mr. Josh Walter will not appear in the movies I make in the future."

Josh smiled slightly: "Of course not, because I never act in a movie that loses money."

"I'm really sorry that Saving Private Ryan was replaced by Shakespeare in Love, not because I was in Saving Private Ryan, but because I respect the Oscars and I hope it can be better, And "Shakespeare in Love"—" Josh shrugged, "When we look at the 80, 90 or even 100 years of the Oscars, "Shakespeare in Love" is probably the worst best picture."

No one knew why Josh focused on "Shakespeare in Love", but the reporters were all happy. If Josh said a few words a day, the sales of the newspaper would increase by [-]%.

"If Josh Walter hadn't matched up with Gwyneth Paltrow and Harvey Weinstein, no one would have known he could be so talkative."

"No one in Hollywood likes Gwyneth Paltrow. She is a flamboyant woman. It is said that she walked around the company three times with a trophy and wanted everyone to say congratulations to her."

But gradually, the reporters felt something was wrong.

Josh didn't even take any jobs after the Oscars!Endorsements were all rejected, and he had nothing to do every day except rant about "Shakespeare in Love", which was not at all like the working state of a young male star!

What happened to Josh Walter?

The reporter wanted to interview Josh, but couldn’t find anyone else at all. He went to Josh’s agent, Arnold Keynes, but was told that he had terminated his partnership with Josh. He is now Leonardo DiCapri O's agent.

Reporters were bewildered and had no idea what was going on.

After half a month, the answer was finally revealed.

On May 1999, 5, an ordinary day, "Entertainment Weekly" magazine suddenly released a photo.

No text, no caption, just a photo.

Above is a photo of two men holding hands.

The two wear identical rings, and as for their faces...the guy with the big smile and the eyes that seem to be shining

"It's Josh Walter!!!!!!"

"Josh Walter is out!"

"Who is the other man?"

The identity of the other man was of course unknown to ordinary viewers, but people in the Hollywood industry recognized who he was at first sight.

Carlos Ross, the heir of the Ross family and one of the major shareholders of Warner Bros.

All the reporters in North America heard the news and tried to block Josh's whereabouts in the neighborhoods, intersections and even the airport, but Josh seemed to have disappeared.

It was Arnold who took the initiative to stand up and accept the media interview: "The fact is exactly what you see. Josh will rest for a long time, and when he wants to appear, he will naturally show up."

Although Josh couldn't be found, the news that he was gay still dropped a bomb/bomb in the center of Hollywood, making everyone dumbfounded and speechless.

In fact, most of the media and Josh's colleagues are vaguely aware that Josh is gay. After all, the young man has never dated a girl since he entered the circle, and his private life is a mess.

This is either asexual or homosexual.

It doesn't matter if he's gay or not, it's shocking that he had the courage to come out to the world.

There has never been a lack of homosexuality in the Hollywood circle. There are also homosexuality among big-name stars, but they choose to hide it for the sake of their careers. There are very few people like Josh who have the courage to open up and leave the circle quickly.

But everyone knows that Hollywood excludes gays.

This is a seemingly open-minded field with unwritten circles of discrimination.

The invitation to Josh immediately shrunk by two-thirds, and the media that praised Josh in different ways every day also died down, and even more emotional audiences protested at the door of the film company.

"Why would you invite a guy who gets fucked/ass/assed by a man to be in a movie!"

"Disgusting Josh Walter, disgusting gays, gays be damned!"

"What a hypocritical liar he is!"

"Damn Josh Walter!"

"..."

One month, two months, three months... Until the beginning of 2000, Josh didn't show up again, and the media and audience realized that Josh really kept what he said, and he really won't appear in Hollywood .

They thought Josh was just talking at first.

"No wonder he stopped his endorsements last year."

"Is Walter really not an actor?"

"Actually, it's also understandable. He has three statuettes, an annual box office record, and an untold amount of money in his life. He can indeed leave Hollywood."

Gwyneth Paltrow, Brad Pitt, and Richard Gere are at it again, triumphantly taking to the press to reveal evidence that Josh was gay.

However, after Paltrow blurted out "disgusting homosexuality" one day, members of the "Matthewsian Association" took to the streets to protest against Gwyneth Paltrow, and blocked Paltrow's Lamborghini sports car for six hours before relieving it. Spread out slowly.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences elected a new member shortly thereafter. Although Josh had long been able to join the membership, this time he was not on the list. Reminder again.

It wasn't until the young Adrien Brody won the Oscar winner for "The Pianist" that the audience suddenly realized that Josh Walter had disappeared for 4 years!

In fact, Josh lived very happily. In 2000, the Netherlands officially passed the gay marriage law, and he couldn't wait to go to the Netherlands to get the license with Carlos.

"Don't you regret it?" Carlos asked him, kissing his forehead.

"Why do you regret it?" Josh lay on the sofa with his body tilted. "From today on, I will play all over the world and eat you poorly."
