Chapter 110: Oscar Nominations

On the morning of February 13th, US Eastern Time, hundreds of media gathered at the college’s press conference.

Academy spokesman Colin will announce the full list of nominations for the 73rd Academy Awards today. Oscar nominations are an honor in themselves, sometimes even surpassing the winners of the Golden Globe Awards, because we often see the introduction of a certain actor Sometimes, it will be said that he was nominated for an Oscar, and then he was a Golden Globe winner.

Of course Daniel knew his nomination would come as no surprise—if the New York Film Critics Circle, the Screen Actors Guild, the Golden Globe winners, plus Universal, DreamWorks, the Weinstein brothers, Trevor and himself, still There is no way to get an Oscar nomination, and the Oscars are too maverick and impartial.

The suspense now is how many nominations "Gladiator" will win, and who will be the big winner of the nomination battle.

Daniel did not get to know the so-called first time by telephone or acquaintance in the media, although Jones called him specifically and promised to tell him the result "as soon as possible".

He chose to watch instant messages on the Internet with many people who cared about Oscar, and there was not much time difference.

Andy squatted on the side, scrolling the mouse for him, while he was reading the script himself.

Reading scripts is really time-consuming, especially for Daniel. He has specious impressions of many movies. Sometimes if the script is not in front of him, he can't think of those works with good grades at all.

"Come out, come out."

Andy said eagerly, and clicked the mouse.

Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Original Screenplay...

"Oh my God, Gladiator wins big."

Daniel scanned from the beginning to the end and found that "Gladiator" appeared too frequently, and almost all the nominations he fought for were obtained.

"12, you won 12, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" got 10." Andy saw the report on the top, the reporter kept busy, and made a simple statistics on the number of nominations for each movie. "Gladiator" became the biggest winner, with a total of 12 nominations, while the Chinese film "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" won an unprecedented ten nominations.

His eyes finally fell on the best supporting actor column, which is almost exactly the same as the Golden Globes.

Jeff, William, Finney, and then Beniso and Daniel himself.

Even though he was well-informed, seeing his name on the nomination list for the Oscars, Daniel still felt a little overwhelmed. To be so close to the Oscars would be a bit of a gaffe.

"Congratulations." Andy looked at Daniel sincerely.

Since getting along with Daniel, many people think that Daniel is so lucky, but she knows best how much Daniel pays, how much time he spends at work, and how difficult it is for him to keep his daily fitness and health menu. Persistence, sometimes she will be shocked, this is just a young man in his early twenties, why does he have such a strong self-discipline ability, stay away from drugs, parties, bars and other pleasures, and spend almost all his time on work.

Especially when Cusa Damon was away, she and Melissa were impressed by how strong, reliable and tenacious he showed.

Even in Hollywood, it is a matter of course for such a person to succeed.

"Thank you, let me say hypocritically, this is our common achievement."

"certainly,

I have a hand on the statuette. Andy blinked, "I heard that the statuette is only gold-plated, so it's not worth much. I plan to put it on 'your' body." "

The poor man didn't have time to enjoy himself.

The calls from his own team all went to Andy's cell phone, and Melissa, Cusa, Trevor, and Fred all looked more excited than himself.

Many friends in the circle called Daniel's own mobile phone repeatedly.

"I thought that this kind of treatment would only be given if I won an award." Daniel exhaled, "Maybe they think I'm only nominated."

"You are very popular, don't be humble."

"Then—" Daniel glanced at the phone, "Well, he's not in a hurry."

"Hey handsome guy."

Paul Walker, who is cooperating with the post-production of "Fast and Furious" in Los Angeles.

The voice on the other side of the phone was a little sour, "When we premiere, I really don't want to call you an Oscar winner, dear Mr. Daniel Sandler."

"If I can't win the Oscar, I'm going to tell the media that such a poor actor as Paul Walker can't make a good movie. What do you think? Help you promote it. My relationship with Universal has always been good."

"Hey--"

After joking around with Paul for a while, Daniel calmed down. There is still one month left. To be honest, no one can predict the outcome of the Oscar ceremony. But today, it is basically as good as it is for Daniel to get Otis. For the purpose of brushing the B grid.

On the eve of the Oscars, there are countless parties and gatherings with various purposes. This year’s Oscar winners are often welcomed and paid attention to in the next production year, so each studio has its own parties, and some movies are warmed up with the help of the Oscar craze. As it should be.

Of course, these parties will not lack the traditional sense of being high, but very few people are desperate at this point, especially nominees like Daniel Sandler, whose every move attracts attention. At this time, they are thrown out by their opponents. A big bomb is no small thing.

At the end of February, Miramax held a banquet, the Weinstein brothers invited guests, and Daniel also received an invitation. "Chocolate" won five nominations for Best Picture, Leading Actress, and Supporting Actress, once again showing the Weinstein brothers' strong Oscar public relations ability. The competition is fierce-although last year's adjective was cruel, he must be able to get Oti.

By this time, the cooperation between Daniel and Harvey no longer needs to be concealed. Voting for the award will start in early March until a few days before the award ceremony. The auditing company will collect the ballots they sent and make statistics, and the final result will be sealed Get up, only open at awards shows.

Sounds airtight, but votes are people, and they come from committees across the Academy, so it's hard to say firmly that the Academy will be ignorant of the outcome.

"It looks more star-studded here than Shenandoah Theater."

Daniel saw some superstars, big directors, producers.

"Cruise rejected me, will he reject Oscar?" Harvey winked at Daniel.

Daniel froze for a moment before he understood Harvey's offending joke.

But it is really funny, Tom Cruise should not be in the mood at this time.

Many people saw that when Daniel and Harvey met, they both smiled happily.

Then they noticed that the only Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actor seemed to be Daniel Sandler.
