Al Pacino gave Eric a big hug and said, "Thank you, Eric."
Eric took a deep breath from Al Pacino's embrace, and still smiled and said: "Al, you deserve this. Even without me, I believe that with your strength, you will be able to win the best Oscar sooner or later." Actor."
Patted on Eric's back, Al Pacino didn't say anything, and gave Eric a grateful look before walking towards the stage.
Eric returned to his seat and saw Al Pacino walking towards the stage. He obviously staggered when he went up the stairs and almost fell down. However, no one in the hall laughed because of this, and the applause was even more enthusiastic.
After receiving the statuette from Jodie Foster, Al Pacino walked to the microphone. Although there was still a little glint in his eyes, his eyes became extremely sharp again. Looking at the audience, Al Pacino After a while, Pacino said generously: "I have been waiting for this day for seventeen years..."
Although he was very excited, Al Pacino didn't say much. A minute later, Al Pacino followed Jodie Foster to the backstage.
Afterwards, Michelle Pfeiffer, the winner of this year's Oscar nomination for Best Actress, walked onto the stage. After giving a speech, she gave a live performance of the nominated song "Flying Over the Rainbow". A few minutes later, Al Pfeiffer Sino returned to the auditorium, and the last and most important award of this year's Oscars is coming.
Warren Beatty and Jack Nicholson took the stage together, and after a brief gag, began to introduce the list of films nominated for best picture.
Because of the hours-long awards ceremony. The films nominated for Best Picture have been profiled in detail. therefore. This time the introduction was very brief. Five award-winning films appeared on the big screen one after another. Warren Beatty immediately opened the envelope and quickly read out the name of "Driving Miss Daisy".
After the best director nomination failed, Eric had already given up too much hope for the best picture nomination. Hearing the name of "Driving Miss Daisy" at this time, he was much more balanced than others. After all, this movie was originally the winner of the best picture in the previous life. Now getting it again, Eric is not too disappointed.
Such a result is actually not bad. Although because of Eric's appearance, many movies that did not appear on this year's Oscars, but after careful study, this year is still a small year for the Oscars.
"Scent of a Woman" is undoubtedly excellent, but this excellence is mainly reflected in Al Pacino's acting skills. As far as movies are concerned, it is far from those in Oscar history such as "Schindler's List" , "Forrest Gump", "Titanic" and other movies sensational effect, so. This year's Oscars did not have a film that could win several major awards, and the Academy also divided the four major awards to several different films like pork. Firefly can be allocated a place for best actor. Already very lucky.
With the approach of the last award, the 62nd Academy Awards ceremony has officially ended. Some people are happy, while others are disappointed.
When walking out, Eric saw that this class should be the most lost group of people, the Weinstein brothers of Miramax and the crew of "My Left Foot", although "My Left Foot" took There were five nominations, but no one was awarded, and it seemed that it was also sniped by fireflies. For example, Daniel Day Lewis, who should have won the best actor, was taken away by Al Pacino. And the best supporting actress was also taken away by Julia. As for the best adapted screenplay, best director and best picture, although it has nothing to do with Firefly, "My Left Foot" also failed to win the award.
Eric and the Weinstein Brothers met once when they were trying to acquire Miramax. The price they offered didn’t satisfy Eric. In the end, things didn’t work out, so Eric focused his energy on the new project. above the line.
At this time, after seeing Eric again after more than half a year, the two brothers Harvey Weinstein and Bob Weinstein only hesitated for a moment, and then graciously walked up to the group of people who were caught by the fireflies. Eric said hello, and Eric smiled and shook hands with the other party. At the same time, he also noticed the unconvinced look in Daniel Day Lewis' eyes when he looked at the statuette in Al Pacino's hand, so he just smiled.
"Mr. Williams, congratulations." Harvey Weinstein didn't show any disappointment on his face, and he squeezed away Jonathan Demme, who was next to Eric, with a compliment on his face. Laughing: "Mr. Williams, it was a pity that we failed to cooperate successfully at the beginning. Now I think it is a pity. I think, maybe when we can find a time to talk again?"
Eric raised his eyebrows slightly. Now Firefly and New Line have been integrated. In addition, although Firefly will no longer be underestimated, its overall strength is still not comparable to that of the seven major film companies. Therefore, if Miramax, who bought the Weinstein brothers, doesn't know where to put the Weinstein brothers.
Moreover, this time Robert Shea's operation on Oscar also proved that Firefly's public relations ability on Oscar is not much worse than that of the Weinstein brothers, and even better than the other party. In terms of film selection, his vision is not much worse than that of the Weinstein brothers. Therefore, Eric is no longer as eager to acquire Miramax as he originally imagined.
However, the abilities of the two brothers are there after all. Although they are no longer eager to acquire Miramax, Eric has no intention of pushing each other to other film companies.
"In that case, it's okay for us to make an appointment to talk when we have some time," Eric nodded towards Harvey Weinstein. Just as he was about to say something, Eric saw another group of people from the crew coming from here After that, although the others didn't know each other very well, Eric knew one of the women very well, and the other woman was Isabel Adjani.
The girl also seemed to have noticed Eric's gaze, met Eric's gaze, and then moved away without any intention of saying hello.
Eric didn't pay attention, but turned his head to look for it. In the "My Left Foot" crew behind the Harvey Weinstein brothers, Daniel Day Lewis was completely indifferent when Isabel Adjani passed by. A look of indifference, obviously, the two are not familiar with each other, let alone passionately in love.
What a funny thing, Eric thought, stretching his fingers. (To be continued..)
