Vol 4 Chapter 114: Intro

"This should be the most startling list of nominations Oscar has ever made, but at the same time it is not the most controversial list! Because we all know that Miss Angel has created countless miracles from the late 1990s to the present Everyone has become numb, and even if she has won all the nominated awards, it will not cause the slightest wave. She seems to be a joke of God, deliberately making Hollywood inadequate to exist ... "
This is the "Empire" review of the 81st Oscar nomination list. The reason why this sentiment is because this list is really stunned. Angela not only broke the single-person nomination record set by himself. !!
She won a total of 7 nominations. The best director's nomination will definitely not run, in addition to the best supporting actress, best original screenplay, best adapted screenplay, best editing, best soundtrack and best Art Direction! Almost for the first time, the same person was both nominated for best original screenplay and nominated for best adapted screenplay! For screenwriters, this should be considered a glorious thing. Unfortunately, Angela is more than just a screenwriter, so it is even more surprising that she has occupied the two best directors alone!
That's right. The five best directors of the 81st Academy Awards were nominated: Danny Bower, director of The Millionaires in the Slums, and David Finch, director of The Benjamin Barton Wonders. James Cameron, director of Avatar, Angela Mason, director of The Mist, and Angela Mason, director of Our Life!
No wonder someone exclaimed: Angela has already set the best director of this Oscar!
Well, if this is not enough, then skip these and focus on the best movie. Four of the five nominations are related to her! Needless to say, "Mist" and "Our Life", "Benjamin Button" is co-funded by Pixar and Paramount, and "Avatar" is co-funded by Pixar and Fox.
As a result, almost all movie companies are complaining that Pixar is going to monopolize the best movies again.
"What else can't you do, Angie?" Kate asked Angela with her thigh in her arms while watching the TV.
Angela didn't answer the question, but just opened her mouth and shouted, "I want grapes, Kate."
Kate shook her head, reached for a grape from the fruit plate on the coffee table, peeled it, and put it into Angela's mouth. Swallowing and swallowing, she pulled Kate's hand and spit the grape seeds into her palm, and then said to the other Jessica, "Go up, Jess, you can do more."
"Is this here?" Jessica, who held her legs in her arms for a massage, then moved her hands up a bit, and she was still gentle and obedient.
"Yes, that's where ... Oh, Jesse, your massage skills are really good." Angela hummed comfortably.
Kate who watched TV narrowed her eyes and tried her best to serve Angela. Jessica sighed in her heart and reminded: "Aren't you going to listen to how they comment, Angie?"
"It doesn't matter, no matter how they comment, they can't affect the judges of the film academy. I just need to let Sparrow do their public relations." Angela waved indifferently.
"I didn't expect you to be so confident, maybe we can celebrate ahead of time?" Kate couldn't help but stab a little.
"I didn't say that, dear Kate," Angela replied lazily. "Sometimes the old guys like to play cards out of common sense, so it's possible to be chilly-don't worry, by the end of the month Just know. "
When she came here, she suddenly thought of something and asked, "Yes, hasn't nat yet returned? Today, I still need to discuss with her about the election of votes. If the operation is good, she might get a best actress for her."
Although "Mist" was released relatively early and lacked advantages in several popular nominated movies-Oscar's judges did not finish each movie, and most of the time they only picked wonderful episodes and combined them The film critics of the famous film critics made their judgments and cast their votes after exchanging opinions with their familiar judges. In this way, the movies that are released closer to the end of the year have more advantages.
Even so, this movie still won 7 nominations for Best Film, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Photography! When Angela first got the nomination list, she was taken aback. At first, she randomly selected seven items to report to the film school and got nominations.
It is not surprising if you think about it carefully. The three performance award nominations are undoubtedly deserved. Both Natalie and Will Smith have performed very well, not to mention Angela, that is less than two in total. The ten-minute performance was applauded at first. Although this film has some sharp irony of certain things, it was hidden in the depths of the story. It didn't drag off the main theme too much-this is the sequel to her filming of "John Rabe". So it's normal to have nominations for best director and best film. As for the best adaptation of the screenplay, it is absolutely necessary to win the nomination on the basis of the mystery of the second and third best of the original work. Only the best photography belongs to the top.
Jessica suddenly coughed twice. Angela hadn't responded yet, and Kate laughed and said, "Well, Jess, you can't just cough your throat."
Jessica's face suddenly turned red, and her hand holding Angela's thigh couldn't help a little more.
"Hey Jesse, this is what Kate said! Not me!" Angela hurried.
Jessica's face turned redder, but anyway she stopped her hand, Angela quickly sat up and rubbed the pinched place, and stared at the gloating Kate, then comforted by holding Jessica's shoulder : "Well, Jesse, although your acting skills are really not as good as Natalie, it does not mean that you have no chance to be nominated for the best actress. Every actor will have a moment to dazzle the entire sky, you Of course, there is no exception. Moreover, it doesn't matter if the film school recognizes it, as long as we think you are excellent. "
"I see, Angie," Jessica had calmed down at this moment, she said with a smile in her hand, "don't worry, I was just a little jealous just now."
"It's normal, just like I'm sometimes jealous that Manny's chest is bigger than me." Angela started running the train with her mouth full again.
Both Kate and Jessica laughed out loud, and then the knock on the door rang, and the door had been opened before anyone inside said it. The familiar figure appeared at the door, so there is no need to say who it is. There is only one person in the villa who can enter without waiting for the answer.
"Your enjoyment is over?" Alizee asked lightly.
"Are you jealous or envious of this?" Angela asked grinningly, then stretched out her arms and wanted to hold Jessica and Kate's waist together, but unfortunately it was not insignificant. Heavy two fists.
"Don't think that everyone is comforting you because you have an unprecedented record, it means that you can do whatever you want." Alizee said looking at the grieving Angela covering her head, and said with a leisurely smile, a slight bend in the corner of her mouth.
"Okay, is there anything wrong?" Angela let out her hands helplessly.
"What's the matter?" Unfortunately, the smile disappeared immediately. Alizee changed her mocking tone again. "I thought you should remember, Miss Angela, Pixar is waiting for you to talk back today. What the is this? Films for canvassing. "
"Oh, yes, I remember it and call them right away!" Angela jumped off the sofa immediately, greeted Jessica and Kate and hurried out.
The remaining three in the room stared at each other, shrugging inconsistently.
It's also troublesome for film companies to compete for the best films. This can easily lead to scattered votes and cheaper others. In fact, Angela had already decided on which movie to focus on. "Mist" was released too early, and the subject matter was not very popular, so it was OK; and "Benjamin Button" And "Avatar" are co-invested and co-published with other companies, Angela believes that Pixar, her spoiled, will definitely not want to share the honor with others. So it's time to ask for a movie.
It was just that she forgot that Ed and Lasseter and others all have a crush on computer animation, and "Avatar" is also an animation in a sense, and that the CG technology is so sophisticated, so there will inevitably be The call for canvassing for Avatar. Angela didn't care about it, and let them discuss it directly. Do you want democracy?
She believes that Ed as a company ceo definitely knows the disadvantages of "Avatar". It is pointedly that the judges of the college will not have much interest in a cg animation, so Ed will definitely make a correct judgment and convince everyone .
Subsequent developments proved that Angela's judgement was correct. The news feedback a few days later showed that Pixar had unanimously decided to canvass for "Our Life". As long as Angela confirmed, the propaganda machine would immediately operate. However, Angela forgot to reply because she patronized the service of congratulations. If it was not Alizee's reminder, God knows when she will remember.
"Okay, that's it." It took Angela just a few minutes to end the call, and everything was basically what she expected, except for the two performance awards of herself and Natalie.
After thinking about it for a few seconds, she called and was quickly connected over there, but first there was a loud noise.
"Have anything happened?" Angela asked quickly, sounding as if many people were shouting.
Natalie didn't answer. It wasn't until a few seconds later that she heard the sound of closing the car door, Natalie exhaled a long time: "Hi Angie, sorry, caught by reporters."
"What did I tell you? Be careful on the street these days." Angela shrugged.
"It's the same for you." Natalie snorted softly.
"Are you sure? You are really sure." Angela asked half-jokingly.
"Let me remind you, Angie, it's no secret that your black hair and black pupil look." Natalie continued to hum. "I can assure you that you can't walk two steps in the street like that, You will also encounter enthusiastic journalists. "
"Okay, I won't say this anymore." Angela quickly stopped the messy words, "you come back quickly, I have important things to discuss with you."
"Well ... what's so important? I plan to go shopping with Manny again." Although Natalie changed her mouth in time, but the word was betrayed in the beginning, and the reason why she suddenly changed her mouth is definitely Instigated by Manny who stayed around, Angela clearly heard her snickering here.
"Because I'm cold and lonely at home alone, Vivi and Liv run to announce that Kayla can record a show, can't you come back to accompany me?" , Try to hold them back, and then calculate slowly!
"Don't be miserable, Kate and Jesse must be with you at home, even if they are not there, you still have a housekeeper and a personal assistant." Natalie said in a lazy tone.
"I'm serious, I need to discuss with you how to nominate a canvassing for your best actress, don't you want to come back with a little goldman?" Angela said the business.
"Got it, you'll be right back?" Natalie said suddenly, turning sharply. "Speaking of it, have you ever thought about how to get votes for your best supporting actress?"
"Come on, I've taken the best female supporter three times. Unless the judges of the film school are collectively neurotic, I can't take it anymore." Angela shrugged. "Just so, come back soon, about I have a lot of things to prepare for Oscar at the end of the month. "
"Hmm ..." Natalie thought about it, "Angie, shouldn't you be preparing for the Oscars ..."
"Live? Well, this is a good idea. It was announced publicly in front of tens of millions of viewers. Then the next day, all the big and small paparazzi turned all the fans upside down, and then they were approached by the beloved parents ... … "Angela whispered, and didn't stop until there was a laughter." Well, don't think about it, I'll give you a surprise. "
After saying goodbye, Angela put down the phone. If you think about it, the proposal at the Academy Awards is actually pretty good. Anyway, since she has decided to go public, she doesn't need to care about public opinion, but ... how good it would be if both parents had been settled. Having said that, Nat almost guessed it, and he must keep his breath away and not make any mistakes at the last moment.
He waved his hand to get these out of his mind for a while, and Angela fetched a notebook to search for information. Because the time from the announcement of the nomination list to the official awards ceremony is much shorter than before, the competition in February 2009 is much more enthusiastic than ever.
