Chapter 548

"This multiple choice question is really difficult. I believe the judges thought about it for a long time before coming up with an answer." Judy shook her head and opened the envelope in her hand. Then, a surprised expression appeared on her face. Two seconds later, she looked relieved.

"Do you want to know who it is?" She glanced at the audience with a smile and read out the name after the boos were heard. "Well, the winner of the Best Actor Award is, Al Pacino! 'To Know A Woman By Scent'! "

The audience was silent for two seconds. Then, they burst into thunderous cheers that almost lifted the ceiling of the music center! Pacino was stunned for a moment. Then, he clenched his fists and waved them in the air. Then, he laughed out loud.

Adriaan's heart finally calmed down. He smiled and slapped the armrest. Then, he stood up and gave Pacino a hug. "Congratulations!"

As he did so, the others also stood up and hugged Pacino to congratulate him.

"Thank you, thank you so much!" Pacino said excitedly. He hugged them and walked to the stage, accompanied by the music.

When he arrived on the stage, he heard another round of "congratulations". Judy handed the little golden man that represented the Best Actor Award to Al and gave him a hug. Warm applause rang out in the hall again.

Although Pacino had been through countless storms, his lips could not help but tremble at this moment. He stroked the little golden man in his hand, and for a moment, all kinds of feelings welled up in his heart.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone!" He raised the little golden man in his hand, and the applause gradually subsided. "I've thought of many words to say for winning the award, but when I actually stand here, I don't know what to say. Well, like everyone else, first of all, I'd like to thank the judges. Thank them for giving me this award. Finally, I don't have any regrets. I'd like to thank my agent, Rick. He's been taking care of everything for me. It's hard to imagine where I would be without you. Then, I'd like to thank Coppola. The Godfather trilogy taught me a lot and brought me a lot of honor. Thank you.

Other than that, there are many people I'd like to thank. My friends, my partners, my lover, my daughter. Thank you for your unreserved support, which finally gave me the opportunity to win the trophy that I've been dreaming of. Finally, I'd like to thank Adriaan. If you hadn't repeatedly invited me to play this role and persuaded Rick, I might not have gotten this role. Maybe I wouldn't be standing here tonight. Thank you, thank you very much! "

As he said that, he raised the little golden man again and waved it vigorously. Adrian, who was below, stood up and clapped. The other members of the crew, who had already communicated with each other, also stood up and applauded. Then, like a chain reaction, everyone else did the same thing. In the end, all the guests stood up and applauded the man on the stage who finally won the Best Actor Award after being nominated eight times.

"Oh, what an exciting moment. It feels great to witness history with my own eyes. Crystal walked to the back of the stage and said, "Al, you are the best. Of course, the others are also great, but at least for now, Al is the best."

"Well, since the Best Actor Award has been given to the most popular person, let's welcome the guest for the Best Actress Award."

Speaking of this, Crystal suddenly blinked and revealed a mysterious expression. "However, today's guest is not simple. In order to prevent accidents, we've taken many measures. I hope no one will be hurt. At this point, Chrystal suddenly blinked and revealed a mysterious expression. "However, today's guest is not simple. In order to prevent accidents, we have taken a lot of measures. I hope no one will be hurt. Although they had already guessed who the guest was, the moment he appeared, many people exclaimed.

Although they had already guessed who the guest presenter was, the moment he appeared, many people exclaimed in surprise. Because he did not walk up, but was tied to a flatbed cart and pushed out by two people. His face was covered with a mask, and his mouth was sealed with a few steel nails. He looked exactly like Hannibal in The Silence of the Lambs. No wonder Christopher called him Professor Hannibal instead of Anthony Hopkins.

"God, this outfit is really boring. It can't be compared to the one in the crew. They probably found it at the last minute." "Thank you for letting me present the Best Actress Award. Don't worry, no one will be hurt tonight," Hopkins said humorously, and the laughter did not stop.

"Thank you for letting me be the guest presenter of the Best Actress Award. Don't worry, no one will be hurt tonight," Hopkins said humorously, and the laughter didn't stop.

"Then, let's see who the nominees are." As Hopkins spoke, the big screen next to him began to change. "'Indochina', Katharine Deneuve; 'The Journey of Rebirth', Susan Sarandon; 'Howard Manor', Emma Thompson; 'L' Amour ', Michelle Pfeiffer;' Man of Lust ', Mary McDonald."

As Hopkins spoke, the big screen began to change. "Indochina, Katharine Deneuve, The Journey of Rebirth, Susan Sarandon, Howard Manor, Emma Thompson, L 'Amour, Michael Pfeiffer, Man of Lust, Mary McDonald." Just like before, every time a name was announced, the big screen would show her face, and then some clips of her previous films would be played.

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio After congratulating Pacino, Adriaan had turned his attention back to the stage. He craned his neck and clenched his fists, trembling slightly. Pacino had won the award because he had a big advantage, but Thompson was not so lucky. Her performance in the film was not as good as the other nominees. This was the real test of Laffern's public relations ability.

I must win! Adriaan thought to himself. The success or failure of the plan depended on this.

"So, the winner of the Best Actress Award is …" Hopkins glanced at the name and smiled. "I want to congratulate her. We worked well together. Emma Thompson!"

When he said "we worked well together," the quick-witted people exclaimed in surprise. When the name was read out, there was even more exclamation. Sitting in her seat, Thompson seemed to be stunned. After a while, she held her face in disbelief and murmured something. Then she hugged the people around her and clapped her hands to congratulate them.

Good！ Adriaan waved his fists and let out a long sigh of relief. With an excited smile on his face, he stepped forward and hugged Thompson before letting her go to the stage.

"Emma is really outstanding, isn't she?" Monica, who was beside her, couldn't help but say sourly.

"What do you want to say, Monica?" Adriaan, who had returned to his seat, chuckled. He glanced around and touched her thigh. "Because of your strange words, I'll punish you when we go back tonight. From front to back, from top to bottom, I won't miss a single spot."

"Anytime." Monica rolled her eyes at him charmingly. She didn't really care about the jealousy she felt just now. She knew that as long as she held on to this man, she would get what she deserved sooner or later.

"Thank you, thank you, everyone." At this time, Emma Thompson, who had won the Best Actress Award, came to the microphone after kissing Hopkins. "To be honest, I really didn't expect to win this award tonight. It's a great honor. I think I'll never forget this night for the rest of my life! When I was very young, I always dreamed of being an excellent actress. Today, I can finally say to the little girl, 'You did it!!'

I would like to thank the judges for their affirmation, which gave me more confidence to perform. I would also like to thank my parents and my husband, who have always supported me selflessly. I would also like to thank my teacher and manager, who have helped me a lot. Lastly, I would like to thank Adrian, if it wasn't for your persuasion time and time again, I might have missed out on this role. Thank you very much!

Thunderous applause rang out in the music center for the umpteenth time. Although it was not as grand as when Pacino won the Best Actor Award, it was enough.

Adriaan clapped his hands and smiled at Thompson, who kissed the trophy affectionately on the stage. He felt relieved, especially when he thought of the words she had said at the end of her speech, which were similar to Pacino's. The smile on his face grew wider. Very good, he had not wasted so much effort on them. Now it was time for the last two awards.

It was the last moment of the Oscars. Only two awards had not been given out, and they were the two most important ones: Best Director and Best Film.

"It's the most important moment again. Every time this moment comes, I'm very sad, because I'll lose my job after the awards are given out. Guys, unemployment doesn't feel good." Crystal began to make jokes again. His lazy tone made people want to beat him up, so boos were heard everywhere.

"Hey, guys, can't you be a little patient?" Crystal immediately revealed a hurt expression. "Do you know how difficult it is to stand here and host an event? Do you know how exciting it is to stand here and host an event? Can't you give me a few minutes to cherish it? "

The booing suddenly turned into laughter, and then into applause.

"Well, let's hurry up and move on to the next segment. It's a very exciting segment. Among the nominees, there are old directors who started out as actors, upright directors who are in their prime, screenwriters, and directors. At the same time, there are young directors who are in the limelight in many aspects. What a fierce competition. Do you want to know who will win in the end? Let's welcome our guest presenter, Oliver Stone, to the stage, "Cristal said and gestured for Oliver to step aside.

Then, as the music started, Stone, who had a square face, two thick black eyebrows, and slightly sparse but neatly combed hair, walked to the stage. Although everyone was applauding to show their welcome, the atmosphere in the hall became heavy.
