American Fame and Fortune Chapter 716

Chapter 716 Competitors Get Out

 Beverly Hills, Ritz-Carlton Hotel.

 The attention of the entertainment media has all gathered here today, and the 84th Oscar Nominees Luncheon is about to be held.

The past half month has been a mess in Hollywood, and it can be called the most chaotic Oscar public relations ever.

Seed players who register for the main awards seem to be hammered by each other, and each is hammering others.

The pre-Oscar warm-up phase, when has it ever been so lively?

 In the hotel lounge, Academy President Tom Sherak finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I didn't expect the chaos to become like this."

Vice Chairman Tom Hanks added: "If only one crew is messing around, we can kick them out and disqualify them from Oscar selection, but all the crews competing for major awards are gone, which makes it difficult to handle."

It's not that it's not easy to handle, it's that it's impossible to handle. During this period, the executive committee of the college simply pretended that they were deaf and blind.

 Another vice chairman, Katherine Kennedy, said: "It's not without its benefits. They have fully prepared for the Oscars and this year's Oscars have attracted much attention."

She smiled and said to the two Toms: "Isn't this exactly what we want?"

Hanks and Katherine Kenneth agreed.

 Matt Damon looked along his face and saw three people.

Now that the popularity is there, Oscar should put back its high-end brand.

 This is the face of the film academy, the way they best demonstrate their presence.

 The latter saw Spielberg and quickly came over to say hello: "Steven..."

Spielberg didn't seem to see the extended hand. He glanced up at Matt Damon and nodded slightly, with no intention of talking to him.

Martin and the other three went over, greeted Spielberg, and chatted for a while.

Not only did he turn his head, he also had a smile on his face.

Sherak said: "If it hadn't aroused heat and attracted public attention, how would I have allowed them to make trouble now?"

Hanks understands the hidden meaning. Oscar attention is declining every year. If this continues, it will become a real self-pleasure within the Hollywood circle.

 The director Bemet Miller and the leading actor Matt Damon from the crew of "Moneyball".

At his point, not to mention one Matt Damon, even ten Matt Damons are nothing.

Three of the most famous **** in Hollywood today!

  Spielberg struck at the three of them.

 Leonardo, Nicholson and Martin-Davies.

Spielberg turned his head and stopped looking here.

Tom Sherak added: "After the nomination list is announced, these will soon calm down, and those who do not follow the rules will be terminated."

In Spielberg's eyes, the goal of "The Martian" must be Best Actor, but "War Horse" did not apply for this award at all, and there is no competition between the two.

Wearing round glasses, Spielberg came to the table where the "War Horse" crew was sitting. As soon as he pulled out his chair, he noticed a few people coming diagonally behind him.

 Matt Damon was about to go back and sit down when he found Spielberg turning back.

Matt Damon took back his right hand angrily, feeling inexplicable. Didn't everything about that year come to an end? The culprit is already in jail, is this necessary?

 The luncheon is about to be held, and in the hall filled with round tables and chairs, guests are arriving one after another.

On the contrary, Warner Pictures wants "Moneyball" to win best picture, best director and best actor.

Spielberg has always believed that the first challengers to him came from Warner Pictures and Matt Damon.

 Especially the latter, who did some tip-off work back then.

There were a lot of people in the banquet hall. Matt Damon received a cold reception from Spielberg, but Spielberg was very enthusiastic about the **** trio, and many people saw it.

Matt Damon still looks honest, and there is no visible change.

The agent next to him said: "Don't worry about these little things. Let's get the nomination first and then figure out how to operate it..."

Those things that happened some time ago made Matt Damon very anxious. He no longer had confidence in winning the award. He just said: "Just get a Best Actor nomination."

 The three Martins returned to the "Mars" table and sat down.

There were not many people from the crew, and the table was just big enough to sit down. Ridley Scott didn't come at all. He took his assistants to Morocco and was working on the new Alien movie "Prometheus." prepare for.

In Ridley's words, the best he can get is an Oscar nomination for Best Director, but it is impossible to win.

Louise Meyer, who was sitting at the same table, said to Martin: "I will mobilize all the resources in my hands for the next vote. If you don't win this year, don't worry about my resources within three years. They won't help anymore.”

  Martin knew: "Our plan should succeed."

Leonardo shook his head: "I succeeded in being ugly, but you failed in being miserable. It doesn't make sense."

Nicholson slapped him: "Martin's is more reliable than bad."

Leonardo DiCaprio said the truth: "Because Hollywood is a bunch of shit."

 Matt Damon noticed that the next table was full of people from the crew of "The Martian". He turned his head slightly and looked at the three **** sitting in the middle.

Nicholson noticed it and immediately turned his head to look at Matt Damon. The old **** bared his teeth and showed a weird smile.

 Just like the clown he once played. Matt Damon turned back and stopped looking over there. He kept telling himself in his heart that they were three idiots, three mad dogs with water in their heads. People cannot be like mad dogs.

 If he didn't do this kind of mental construction, he would be really afraid that he wouldn't be able to help himself.

On the other hand, Martin completely ignored the "Moneyball" crew, as if the crew didn't exist.

　　Neither side is a good thing. He mobilized his efforts to get rid of Matt Damon, and Matt Damon was also using various methods to hack him and "The Martian".

 As for who does it more effectively, it will soon be known.

The banquet hall was full of people, but the atmosphere was a bit weird, and there was a bit of tit-for-tat between the various crews.

 There were even quarrels among certain crew members.

Nicholson said: "Did you see it, Leo? Can your plan to sell misfortune have the effect it has today? Martin's plan is better!"

Martin said: "I've gone from being a miserable person to showing off my wealth. Who can I ask for explanation?"

He looked at Leonardo: "Do you know how many non-governmental organizations and charity funds have called me recently to ask me to donate? They want me to donate all my family property! I declined invitations to some charity evenings, but was hacked Fan attacks have no compassion and spend so much money on food, drink and fun, and don't know how to help other people.”

 Leonardo was as shameless as Martin and Nicholson, grabbing Martin's sleeve: "Donate all your net worth to my environmental foundation, and you will never face these troubles from now on."

Nicholson said: "I discovered that the most shameless person is Leo."

 Martin said: "After all, 100 meters..."

 Leonardo frowned, stared, opened his mouth, and then whispered: "The luncheon is about to begin."

College President Tom Sherak took to the ballroom stage together with Jessica Chastain, who hosted the luncheon.

 The nomination lists for each award have been announced. This is truly a small year for the Oscars, with only a few films attracting attention.

 As far as Martin is concerned, except for "The Martian" and "War Horse", other films have basically no impression.

 The nomination lists were announced one after another. In fact, after so many frontline awards, the nominations were similar to what the outside world had guessed. The list predicted by the media in advance had at least a 90% hit rate.

 Because the overlap rate between the Hollywood industry union awards and the corresponding Oscar awards is too high.

 Finally, we have come to the four most important awards.

Tom Sherak read out the list of five nominees for Best Actor.

 The first one is: "Martin Davies, "The Martian"!"

 The crew cheered softly.

Nicolson and Leonardo high-fived Martin.

Leonardo was completely shameless and whispered: "Without the failure of my bad plan, how could you compare with the success of your bad plan?"

Martin said: "I really want to thank you very much. I will find a group of beauties from Thailand to come over one day and hold a separate thank you party for you!"

 Leonardo gave him a middle finger.

Tom Sherak is still reading out the list: "Gary Oldman, "Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy"; George Clooney, "Descendants", Joel Edgerton, "Warrior"..."

Matt Damon's heart tightened every time he read a name. After spending so much time and energy, beating so many crews and being beaten by so many crews, there must be something to gain, right?

There was one last nomination for Best Actor, and his heart was lifted.

Tom Sherak's voice didn't pause: “Demian Bichir, A Better Life.”

 The other crew burst into cheers.

 Martin was smiling all the time and winning with dignity.

 Matt Damon still looked honest, sitting in his seat like a stone sculpture.

 Having done so much, he didn't even get a nomination!

The agent discovered Matt Damon's anomaly and said with relief: "We will continue next year."

 “Failed.” Matt Damon said softly.

 The agent is also very helpless.

 Matt Damon reflected on his experiences in the past half month and quickly found the crux of the problem: the attacks on him by the women involved in the Weinstein scandal!

 But he was very surprised that he didn't even get the nomination.

At the table next to him, Leonardo was about to bump fists with Martin to celebrate: "Congratulations, your bad plan was successful. Your biggest competitor didn't even get a nomination."

Nicholson concluded: "Martin is much more reliable than Leo when it comes to making trouble."

Leonardo said: "You don't know? Martin is best at bringing high-end opponents down to the same level as him, or even worse than him, and then defeats them with his rich and incomparable bad experience!"

  Martin saw the hope of winning the Best Actor Oscar this time and said: "Two bosses, use all your resources."

 The nomination list has just been announced and Matt Damon has voluntarily withdrawn.

 When you leave, you have to pass by Martin's table.

 Matt Damon tilted his head, not looking at the three bastards.
