Best Actor

    "The best actor and the best actress are always the most attractive awards and the greatest affirmation of an actor," said the guest of honor on the stage of the Hall of the Holy Auditorium. Vanessa Paltrow is talking, "Then let's see which five lucky winners will receive this honor tonight."

    As she spoke, the small screen next to it quickly revealed five candidates, Kevin Spacey of American Beauty, Russell Crowe of The Insider, Mr. Tritt's Story's Richard Farnsworth, "Hurricane"'s Denzel Washington, and "The Genius Ripley," the third-youngest nominee in Oscar history for the first time in more than 20 years. Sean Tang, Under 20 Finalist!

    The atmosphere in the hall also began to surge, as if looking forward to the reveal of the mystery, although this situation has come a lot, but who made the awards ceremony come to an end.

    This is the tradition of the Oscars, just like the winners of the best supporting actress and leading actress in the previous year, awarded the best supporting actor and leading actor this year, and the winner of the best supporting actor and leading actor in the previous session, awarded This year's Best Supporting Actress and Actress, the more important the award, the more it will be awarded at the end. Like two screenplay awards, or best actress and best actor, and best director and best film.

    This is not a constant, sometimes in order to increase the stunt, the organizer will also come up with some special award guests, such as the "Toy Story" when the best animated short film was awarded before. The characters, or two years ago, had a bear present at the 70th Oscars to present an award. But this is a special case. Most awards ceremonies follow the same process as mentioned above.

    At this time, the five candidates displayed on the screen were either relaxed or calm or smiling, but their eyes were fixed on the envelope in the hands of the last best actress on the stage.

    Gwyneth has lowered her head to open the envelope. From Sean's point of view, her face is a little unhappy. It is understandable that even today, some media still call her the worst best actress ever at the Oscars, a victory for PR. In this case, standing on the stage as a presenter, thinking that someone might do it tomorrow Article, how can I feel better.

    But Sean's eyes only stayed on her face for two seconds, and then moved to the envelope like everyone else, and the hand under it was gently held.

    "The winner is, Kevin Spacey!" Gwyneth said quickly.

    The second row, dozens of feet in front of the right, immediately remembered a burst of cheers, and "American Beauty" actor Kevin Spacey immediately stood up with a smile on his face Can't hide it.

      If you look at the Golden Globes, you can see that there is such a thing as giving important awards to young people under the age of 20. Maybe decades ago, except for targeted awards such as the Teen Choice Awards, or the European Film Festival. Except for the awards that use innovation as a gimmick, the authoritative awards basically have no chance for young people.

    Frederick told him the same, so he seemed relaxed throughout—but not entirely hopeless. As Jude said before, no one wants to get a golden statuette, which is one of the highest honors in the United States and the world, and a symbol of status in Hollywood. Even if he lost his popularity after taking it, and even launched the entertainment industry, at least there is still a piece of glory there, so Sean has no idea of ​​winning the award, even if it's just a little bit.

    Also as Jude said, he has done things that many actors can't do in their lives, from a newcomer who knows nothing to a dazzling star in just one year, to a nineteen-year-old The image of the twenty-four or five-year-old performance was also greatly praised, and he also won the Golden Globe Award, Oscar nominations and so on. These almost legendary experiences, once presented, gave the impression that if he won the Oscar and became the youngest best actor winner, it was also possible and acceptable.

    However, with Gwyneth's announcement, this expectation suddenly burst like a bubble in the sun. Oscar is Oscar after all, and seniority is indispensable. However, although Sean's mind fluctuated, he recovered very quickly. Just as Oscar had no surprises, he also knew very well that it was only one in ten thousand hope, and naturally he adjusted it very easily.

    Unfortunately, "The Genius Ripley" has been wiped out here, and none of the six nominations won an award. I hope Mingella and Weinstein won't care too much.

    Afterwards, with Steven Spielberg and Clint Eastwood on stage to award the best director and the best film in turn, this year's Oscars have come to an end.

    As Sean expected, Sam Mendes and his work "American Beauty" won this series of awards, although Mendes, like Sean, is a filmmaker His debut was nominated for the Oscar for the first time, but before that, he has directed many stage plays and has rich experience and connections, so he is not worthy of much envy.

    After—

      , so don't take that to heart, and have fun," Frederick said while driving.

    "When are you going to say it, Fred?" Sean sighed while looking out the car window.

    "I'm comforting you, Sean," the agent put on an exaggerated, hurt expression, "even if you've recovered from the blow, you wouldn't trample on me like this Heart blood."

    "The problem is, I didn't care about it in the first place." Sean turned around and smiled and spread his hands, Frederick could only roll his eyes.

    Fortunately, the car has reached its destination at this time, a club not far from the Holy Auditorium, and many stars, directors, and producers who participated in the award ceremony before are also here. There are relatively few reporters, because after the end, the winners will gather together to take pictures, so most of them are there, not to mention the famous "Vanity Fair" magazine that hosts the party.

    Since 1993, this famous magazine has held a party called "Oscar Night" on the night of the Oscars, and invited many celebrities to attend. The influence of the magazine itself is very large, and most people are willing to give face, so after a few years of operation, it has become the most famous party on the night of the awards ceremony, and like the Oscars, they can only participate by invitation, and those who can be invited All have a certain status.

    As the most eye-catching rookie actor at the beginning of this year, Sean is naturally invited. Frederick is now a relatively prestigious agent in Endeavour, as well. But Galen and Sanders couldn't, so they went back one step earlier after the awards ceremony.

    It's not that "Vanity Fair" has a better party status than the Oscars, the point is that the awards ceremony is held in the auditorium, which can accommodate so many people, and the "Oscar Night" party is just a party, Even if it is held in a top club, it can accommodate a few hundred people at most, so it is natural to limit the number of people.

    The atmosphere of the club is relaxed, there are people chatting around the table, drinking at the bar, and flirting in the corner. Occasionally, it's okay to have two reporters taking pictures. They are both from "Vanity Fair". Even if something is photographed, they will communicate with the parties first, and other media reporters are outside.

    "Jude is very good, I am serious, but Sean is the one who impressed me the most. To be honest, you are really only 19 years old?" The bald man with eyes looked curiously with Sean.

    "I will turn 20 in half a month." Sean shrugged helplessly, and almost everyone would ask his age.

    "I can prove this." Jude supported him.

    "It's amazing, maybe I can cooperate if there is a chance in the future." The other party said with a smile.

    "That's great." Sean smiled and nodded.

    Although the words were very pleasant, he didn't take them too seriously. He had heard such words many times at the party, Ridley Scott said so, Tom Hank That's what he said, and even Spielberg said it vaguely. It doesn't mean that they are just socializing. Maybe one day when they are found to mention this conversation, the other party may really give a role, but if you want a significant industry, or even a fully cooperative protagonist, you have to look at yourself.

    Or to put it another way, if you have always been popular and popular with film critics, then when you contact the other party and mention this past, most of them will be taken down. But if you have always been half-red and not white, and your acting skills are not very good, then if you come to the door, the other party may give a role due to the affection at that time, but it is almost impossible to develop.

    Of course, this is also a favor, not to mention that Mr. Soderbergh, also named Steven, used the literary "Never Compromise" to make "Death Come" at the box office The director who held down the film, is also the youngest Palme d'Or winner at the Cannes Film Festival, so there should be no less respect.

    Waiting for half a month after tonight, the gimmick of being 19 years old is almost over. Do you want to continue the current upward momentum and then go further? Still like a meteor, it streaks across the sky and falls to the ground and burns to the ground. It depends on the efforts afterward.

      easier. But Sean had his own minds, especially after attending the Oscars, so he chose a potentially tougher path. Besides, you will be more motivated if you have a challenge. As long as you maintain your current advantage, you will definitely be able to achieve your goals!
