Tonight's 60th Academy Awards ceremony will begin at 6:00 p.m. Western Time.

Janet rushed over from Malibu before five o'clock, helped Simon in the office of Daenerys Pictures headquarters, and the two of them got into the extended courtesy car prepared in advance and rushed to Los Angeles. Holy Citizen Auditorium in the center.

Due to the strike of the screenwriters, although it is Oscar's 60th birthday, many aspects of this awards ceremony have been simplified. At about 5:30, Simon and Janet rushed to the outside of the Holy Citizen Auditorium. The red carpet in front of them was only a very short section of less than 20 meters, leading directly from the side of the road to the entrance of the auditorium.

The courtesy car stopped at the entrance of the red carpet. Just as Simon and Janet got out of the car, the media reporters and guests on both sides of the red carpet noticed the two. Intensive flashing lights accompanied the shouts from the stands on both sides, and they would linger on the red carpet. Many guests on the blanket attracted the attention.

Pat Kingsley, who arrived in advance, also came over at this time, and followed Simon to remind him and Janet to stop and take pictures with the media.

After a while, Simon heard some voices resounding from the stands on both sides. He turned his head and looked around. Sandra Bullock, who was wearing a white off-shoulder evening dress, walked towards Simon and Janet with the corners of the skirt.

The media reporters, who had already filmed enough material, saw Sandra appear, and immediately became commotion again.

Noticing that Simon only hugged Sandra lightly, he planned to take Janet forward, and immediately a reporter shouted: "Simon, Sandy, take a picture together?"

Before Simon spoke, Sandra nodded in agreement, then looked at Janet who was holding Simon's arm. Janet smiled and let go of Simon's arm, stepped back, and Sandra pulled it up immediately.

Cooperating with the reporters to take pictures with a stiff smile, Simon twitched the corner of his mouth slightly when he changed his posture and said to Sandra in a ventriloquist-like voice: "Do you really want to see Jenny cook me?"

When Sandra heard the words, she leaned closer, and even leaned her head on Simon's shoulder. Facing the reporters' obviously more excited shouts, she answered heartlessly, "Yeah."

Simon can only sigh that it is unkind to meet people.

After finally taking the photo, Simon didn't stop, and quickly walked across the red carpet with the two women and directly into the auditorium. I was a little lucky that the red carpet tonight was short enough, otherwise, something might happen.

Although it was last year's box office winner, "Lola Run" received only one dispensable nomination for best editing. Therefore, only Simon and Sandra were invited to the entire crew, and the two of them will also serve as the presenters for the Best Cinematography Award tonight.

Oscar's important guests can naturally bring their partners. Simon brought Janet, but Sandra came alone.

Entering the auditorium, Simon found again that the Oscar organizers, who were obviously afraid that the world would not be chaotic, deliberately connected the seats of the three of them together, Simon was in the middle, Janet and Sandra were on the left and right.

There was still some time before the award ceremony began. Simon spent more than ten minutes chatting with some familiar guests in the auditorium, but he still had to return to his place. Originally wanted to let Janet sit inside, but the woman shook her head with a smile and pushed him into position.

When Simon sat down, Sandra immediately came over with a casual look: "Simon, are you ready to give your acceptance speech?"

Simon was a little puzzled: "Huh?"

"Best editing nomination?" Sandra reminded, and tapped him lightly on the shoulder: "You're pretending to be stupid, right?"

Simon did not expect this, and shook his head: "There is nothing to prepare for this kind of nomination with almost zero chance of winning."

"Maybe you can win the award," Sandra said, and quickly said with a bit of injustice: ""Lola Run" could have received more nominations, all of them are old-fashioned."

Simon smiled and made a silent gesture, winked at the surroundings, and said, "Keep your voice down, I won't be able to get the nomination after being heard."

"Haha," Sandra smiled nonchalantly, but added: "If you really win, remember to thank me."

"no problem."

Sandra nodded with satisfaction, and said, "By the way, how do you arrange after the awards ceremony?"

Simon said: "Go home and sleep."

"Isn't it? It's so boring, like an old man," Sandra said, glanced at Janet on the other side, and said, "How about we go to Warner's party together?"

"Um?"

"You know, I picked up Warner's Dangerous Relationships."

"Oh."

Simon nodded, thinking of the film based on a French epistolary novel that was also nominated for next year's Oscars.

Some time ago, Sandra let him read the script, and Simon remembered that the role she got should belong to Michelle Pfeiffer, and Michelle Pfeiffer also won an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.

After a few random inquiries, Simon learned that Warners had indeed intended to cast Michelle Pfeiffer in that role. However, things have to go back to the beginning of the year when WMA vice president Ed Limato took Mel Gibson and a large number of stars to icm. Then, wma easily used resources to grab the role, and Warner compared the popularity of Sandra and Michelle, and made a decisive choice.

Of course, as a costume literary film, it is still a supporting role.

Of course, it is impossible to ask for too high a price. This kind of script is used to save qualifications and nominations.

Sandra listened to Simon's "Oh" and didn't respond, and put her shoulder against him again: "Go?"

Because there was only one nomination, Daenerys Pictures did not prepare the party, but Simon also received invitations from Warner, Orion and other companies to the after-party, but he did not plan to attend. At this time, listening to Sandra's questioning, Simon had to look at Janet on the other side and repeated Sandra's question: "Go?"

"Go," Janet gave Simon a white look, and looked at Sandra, who had been treating her like air just now: "Sandy, haven't you thought about finding a boyfriend?"

Sandra made no secret: "I'm working hard."

Janet leaned against Simon, bared her little white teeth and threatened in a low voice, "You'll get scratched if you do this."

Sandra shrugged indifferently, and approached Simon a little, whispering: "In that case, I can only rely on Simon for the rest of my life."

Janet glanced at someone on the back of the chair who pretended not to exist, and said, "I also scratched his face, do you still want it?"

Sandra smiled and said, "I want you to cook him."

Janet's beautiful eyes narrowed, and she teased, "Are you keeping it for the winter?"

Sandra nodded: "Well, remember to add more salt when cooking."

Simon saw that the two women who were sticking to his left and right were laughing and saying words that sent chills down his spine. He raised his hand and made a gesture of surrender. He 'begged for mercy' and said, "Why don't we change the subject and be more positive."

Janet and Sandra rolled their eyes at him at the same time, and were about to continue. Now the staff began to remind the guests to sit down, and the two women became quiet.

At six o'clock, the awards ceremony officially began.

After the opening song and dance and Academy President Robert Wise's 60th Oscars address, the ceremony's host, Chevy Chase, took to the stage.

Chevy Chase was one of Hollywood's most well-known comedy stars of the 1970s and 1980s. He was born on "Saturday Night Live" and rose to fame with the 1978 annual box office number three "Animal House".

However, perhaps because of the writers' strike, Chevy Chase's performance on stage was lackluster, and the five-minute talk show opening remarks basically just introduced the various nominated films this year in a straightforward manner, occasionally interspersed with A couple of cold jokes that are clearly not too funny.

Simon still prefers Billy Crystal to Chevy Chase's humorous hosting style. However, Billy Crystal won't start hosting the Oscars for several years in memory.

Although this award ceremony basically has nothing to do with Simon, feeling the fiery atmosphere of the scene, and occasionally chatting some interesting things with the two women beside him, Simon is not boring.

After more than half an hour, near the best photography award, Simon and Sandra left their seats and went backstage.

Simon did not participate in the rehearsal in advance, but only got a warm-up line. Under the guidance of the staff, Simon and Sandra took the envelope containing the award results and stood at the exit of the stage to start the backcourt.

Looking at the winner of the Best Animated Short Film who was giving a speech on the stage, Sander stretched his hand to hold Simon's arm, raised the envelope in his hand and said, "This nomination should have you in it, it's so unfair. ."

Simon smiled and said, "Actually, I like this unfair world, Sandy, only people at the bottom of the pyramid can pursue or imagine fairness."

"Are you really not angry at all?"

"I find that I rarely have the emotion of anger, or many other emotions," Simon shook his head and said, "It may be a lack of emotion or something."

Sandra was stunned and asked, "Then, do you love Janet?"

Simon nodded without hesitation: "Love."

"Do you love me?"

"do not love."

"But, I love you."

"thanks."

"Bastard," Sandra casually pinched Simon's arm and said bitterly, "I won't let you go."

The two whispered, and the winners on the stage ended their speeches. After the music, Chevy Chase's voice sounded again: "Hollywood has always been a place full of miracles, and in the past year, a miracle happened. The frequency seems to be more than ever. Some people do a lot of work as director, screenwriter, photography, lighting, etc. to complete a very good film, some people have the first film to win the annual box office champion, and some people finish the film The youngest billionaire in the world again in a blink of an eye. The most miraculous thing is that these miracles are actually created by one person. Welcome Simon Westeros and Sandra Bullock.”

In the warm applause, Simon and Sandra walked to the stage together and stood in front of the microphone.

When the applause fell, Simon looked at the densely packed crowds in the auditorium, waited for a while, and found that Sandra hadn't started speaking yet, and quickly raised his hand and gently patted her on the back soothingly.

Feeling Simon's movements, Sandra came back to her senses, stabilized her emotions, and said, "The photographers are always the first people we know after joining the crew. For the actors, maybe we want them to It’s a little more beautiful on their own, but in reality, they can do so much more, even if you’re just simply running for more than an hour, they can show your run perfectly on the big screen in countless ways.”

In the light laughter off the stage, Simon continued: "A good film always has a good cameraman, they are sure

It has made an indelible contribution to the artistic style of the film. So, this year's Oscar nominees for Best Cinematography are:"

"Ellen Davio, Empire of the Sun."

"Vittorio Storaro, The Last Emperor."

"Michael Bauhaus, Radio News."

"Philip Russlot, The Glory Years."

"Haskell Wexler, The Rage Front."

After introducing the five nominees alternately, Sandra handed the envelope to Simon. Simon opened the envelope with a smile, took a look at the result, and announced into the microphone: "The winner is Vito. Leo Storaro, The Last Emperor."

No suspense result.

Vittorio Storaro took the stage to a round of applause and took over the statue from Simon. Oscar's speeches for the technical awards were short, and after the brief speeches, Simon and Sandra quickly walked backstage with Vittorio Storaro.

The staff welcomed Vittorio Storaro to install the nameplate and take pictures of the statue, and Simon and Sandra were free.

Because of the small mistake at the beginning, Sandra's emotions were still a little tense. Simon did not rush back to the hall. He pulled her to find a sofa in the background and sat down. He asked for a bottle of water from the staff and opened it and handed it over. , asked, "How do you feel?"

Sandra took a few sips of water before she said worriedly, "Simon, did I screw up?"

"Of course not, you just reacted a little slower," Simon shook his head with a smile and said, "And, what if you screw up, as long as you are always a big star, Oscar will definitely continue to invite you to be the presenter. "

"I thought it would be an easy thing, you know, I've acted in a stage play in New York," Sandra recalled the situation just now and said, "However, I've never seen a sudden appearance in front of me. So many people."

Simon has not paid attention to the number of audiences at the scene, but judging from the memory just now, there are at least 2,000 people in the entire Holy Citizen Auditorium. Coupled with the fiery atmosphere of the entire awards ceremony, Sandra, who is on this stage for the first time It's not that strange to feel nervous.

After taking a few sips of water again, Sandra finally relaxed, glanced at the man beside her, and asked, "Aren't you nervous at all?"

Simon wondered: "Why should I be nervous?"

Sandra couldn't help but slapped him: "Well, you really are a guy who lacks emotions."

Simon smiled and continued to chat with Sandra for a while before he said, "Then, if you are all right, let's go back. If you stay here, Jenny will think I'm cheating on you."

Sandra nodded subconsciously, caught a certain joke word in Simon's words, rolled her eyes, glanced around, and suddenly came closer.

Simon felt the woman's cool lips kiss the corner of his mouth, and immediately thought of the last experience, and quickly said: "Don't bite."
