Chapter 498: The First Little Golden Man
"Duke Rosenberg is not among the best directors on this planet."
The TV series switched to the studio, and Roger Albert continued to talk, as if he had won a great victory. "Not getting the recognition of the Oscar Little Golden Man, no matter how outstanding he did in business, he was staying at the same level as Michael Bay, and he could not get the recognition of the Oscar..."
With his eyes off the TV, Norman Miller suppressed the urge to spit at the ugly guy on the TV. He placed his eyes on the computer screen opposite. In his instant sharing circle of friends, countless people have already started to verbally abuse him.
Insults against Roger Albert!
These Rosenberg video lovers naturally know who Duke’s enemies are and how they are in the source of grudges between the two sides.
"For the sake of your own selfishness, I just talk nonsense on TV, and I'm also a Pulitzer Prize winner, I'm gonna be!"
His circle of friends has almost flooded the screen.
"Is anyone going to block this ugly ghost's mouth? He is simply disgusting than a fly!"
"I was in a good mood every time I watched the Oscars, but when I saw Roger Albert at the opening, I always made people feel vomiting!"
"He said Duke couldn't win an award? It seemed like the Oscar was awarded by a film critic. What is a professional film critic?"
"Just a bunch of outdated trash!"
Norman Miller was relatively calm and was very restrained when he posted it. "When Duke won the Oscar Little Golden Man, I don't know what color this guy's face will turn!"
"I'll definitely be dizzy..."
"Maybe you'll be pissed to death..."
"No more, the award ceremony is about to begin."
The Kodak Theater gradually turned to quiet. While Ivanka was going to say hello to others, Mrs. Lea, who had arrived in the afternoon, asked some questions.
“I heard some bad news in New York,” she whispered, “Ivanka intends to bring Donald’s Trump Group into your company.”
Duke nodded. "I've dragged it down for the time being."
Ivanka wants to list the company and prepares to make a share allotment before listing. The most important aspect of the share allotment is to introduce funds from the Trump Group.
Although Ivanka did not say it clearly, Duke actually got the news when he was in Paris and then dragged down the listing.
This happened after Ivanka returned to New York several times. Duke knew very well, just like Mrs. Leah was equally important to him, Donald's father was as important to Ivanka. It was obvious that Donald Trump used family affection as a weapon to motivate Ivanka.
However, Duke is not going to make concessions to Donald Trump again. Human greed is infinite, and excessive concessions will only attract more greed.
"I'm a good deal." Duke whispered.
Mrs. Leah gently patted his hand. She was still a little worried before, worried that Duke would be blinded.
Ivanka quickly came over, unlike before, and Mrs. Lea just nodded to her.
The music on the stage suddenly rang out, everyone turned their eyes forward, and as others slapped their palms together, the 76th Academy Awards ceremony kicked off.
Perhaps the ratings of the past few years have been terrible, and this year's awards ceremony not only has the stage layout more gorgeous, but also has a retro flavor of the 1990s.
After three years of separation, Billy Cristo once again appeared on the stage hosted by the Oscars and was edited into the nominated movies. He and Russell Clowe sailed in "The Battle of the Sea of Rage", competed with Johnny Depp for swordsmanship and cat steps, and held up the Holy Sword of Andurel in the picture of Vigo Motson's avatar, turned into Legolas and killed the mammoth elephant, and even appeared naked...
For the sake of ratings, the comedian really fought hard.
"It's time." Arwen encouraged him, "Oscar needs you!"
"Take out all the honors you cherish and return to the Oscar stage..." Aragorn shouted loudly, wielding his sword.
"You'd better continue this job, Lord Christo." Captain Barbosa, who turned into a skeleton, warned solemnly.
Finally, under the escort of Jack Nicholson in white clothes and robe, he walked through Saint White City and came to the Kodak Theater.
"It's your turn." Jack Nicholson, holding the cane, took off his signature sunglasses and handed them to Billy Christo. "Go and win the applause, Billy!"
"Let me show them!" Billy Christo put his eyes on and walked into the Kodak Theater.
There was a bright light on the stage. As soon as Billy Christop appeared, he received applause from the audience. The most outstanding Oscar supporter at the turn of the century, even if he didn't say a word, had already won bursts of laughter on the spot.
After teasing Charlize Theron and Johnny Depp for a few words, the famous comedian took out his Oscar-nominated film for singing a big skewer.
"It's Sofia Coppola, the first American woman ever to be nominated for Best Director... She finished filming the movie in just 47 days, and her friend, who had just woken Eliya Wood from her sleep in this time..."
"Frodo and Sam were walking on the mysterious land, and Smigo suddenly jumped out, just like Jenny Jackson's right breast! Britney and Jennifer Lopez dumped their husbands after watching this movie. They thought this movie was called a break-up ring..."
"Lithium salt, sake, Xiaoyao pills and psychedelic drugs, and drugs provided by Truman Capote." Billy Christo targeted Duke again, "Duke Rosenberg ate these things when he made the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He made such a great trilogy, and he was as powerful as God. I love every frame of the Rings! Duke Rosenberg, maybe your name will be recited on the stage tonight!"
Next, Billy Cristo teased Russell Clow and Clint Eastwood again, and the first award officially arrived.
The guest of the award was Catherine Zeta Jones, an old acquaintance of Duke.
Although the British actor starred in "Chicago" in advance, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actress that year, he still won the Best Supporting Actress for a literary film last year.
Seeing this actress with long hair and slightly plump hair, Ivanka frowned slightly. It was her first time with Duke to attend the Oscars. The experience was definitely not too pleasant. Although she had heard of Duke's previous gossip and didn't care too much in her heart, these people kept jumping in front of her, which was not something that made people happy.
As a group drama, "Return of the King" was not shortlisted for any performance awards, and the best supporting actor awarded by Katherine Zeta Jones was won by Tim Robbins.
Duke accompanied the audience to applaud gently, and the moment belonging to the Lord of the Rings trilogy still needs to be waited.
He knew very well that, like the Titanic that year, even if he was nominated, "Come Here" would not make any difference in the performance award.
If commercial films and group dramas are combined, it is too difficult to win a performance award.
As a die-hard fan of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, Brad Miller has been following Oscars. He is working on IT, just like many young people, and he is on a computer and TV at the same time, watching live broadcasts while paying attention to the dynamics on the Internet.
“This website is really good!”
He logged into his instant sharing account. This newly emerging social website has surpassed blogs with its super fast reaction speed and simple and smooth sharing functions, becoming the most popular social website in the United States.
“What is the next award?”
Someone asked a question in his circle of friends, and someone immediately replied, "Best Art Director! "Return of the King" was shortlisted for this award!"
"Oh, the first award, I wonder if I can win a good start?"
"It's definitely OK. Think about the nominated videos. Which one can surpass "Return of the King" in terms of background?"
Seeing this, Brad Miller recalled the nomination for this award and couldn't help but nodded slightly. The gap between other films that were nominated at the same time and "Return of the King" was too obvious. If this award did not fall on the Lord of the Rings, the most basic fairness of the Oscar would be suspected.
At Brad Miller's age, even if he is not a Hollywood industry insider, he can understand many things.
On the TV screen, Angelina Jolie, who is the guest of the award, walked onto the stage and she will award the first award related to "Return of the King".
During the live TV broadcast, Ropey asked Roger Albert, "Roger, which movie do you think this award will fall on?"
"The Sea of Anger!" Roger Albert answered without hesitation, just as he could decide the ownership of the award, and explained, "The Sea of Anger is more traditional sets, while The Return of the King is more computer stunts, the former is more qualified to win this award than the latter."
Angelina Jolie on the stage had already arrived at the microphone, and the two immediately stopped talking.
"The job of art directing is to design and outline everything on the screen, to make you believe you are on the racetrack, to believe you are in the Hobbit residence or on British ships, or even in the samurai villages in Japan..."
After saying the routine word-in-one, Angelina Jolie said in conjunction with the screen on the stage, "The ones nominated for the best art direction include Hannah Serena in "The Lord of the Rings 3: Return of the King", Ben Wanos and Sisle Heidman in "The Girl with Pearl Earrings", Lily Clevent in "The Last Warrior", Jenny Claudina in "The Pentium Age", William Heidel in "The Angry Sea"..."
When I heard the nomination list read out, the air seemed to be a little stagnant where the Lord of the Rings crew was. Not only Hannah Serena, but even Elia Wood, Billy Boyd, Vigo Motson and others were a little nervous. After all, if the film won a great victory, there would be a share of their honor.
And the beginning of success often represents a beautiful ending! (To be continued)
