Chapter 263 Best Actress
"This dress is a little tight. Little Gilbert, help me unzip the back." Naomi Watts' hands couldn't reach the back.

Little Gilbert helped, zipping up the zipper from behind, his hands caressing the smooth back exposed behind the dress, and brushed across Naomi Watts' neck.

Naomi Watts snorted, leaned into little Gilbert's arms, held his hand and placed it on her waist.

"I'm going to walk on the red carpet later. You messed up the dress and I have to put it away again." Naomi Watts said, but she did not stop little Gilbert from exploring in depth.

Little Gilbert smelled the fragrance of the petite woman's hair, put his arms around her waist, and said, "My dear, shall we have a child?"

Naomi Watts felt a burst of happiness, but she complained: "Don't we want it?..."

Fortunately, they were the only ones in the room, no one else. But even if I hear it, it doesn't matter. They are an old couple and they are not shy.

It was getting late, and after some preparations, the creators of "Chicago" headed to the Oscars ceremony.

The 71st Academy Awards ceremony was held at the Dorothy Chandler Hall and was broadcast live on ABC TV with actress Whoopi Goldberg as the host.

The favorite to win this year's award is undoubtedly "Chicago", followed by "Shakespeare in Love" with seven nominations.

As the crew with a relatively large celebrity status and the most attention, the appearance of "Chicago" is the finale. The atmosphere on the red carpet reached its peak the moment the cast and crew stepped onto the red carpet.

In the Melon Manor, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Connelly, who did not go to the Oscars, were watching TV and listening to the ABC TV host's introduction.

"The crew of "Chicago" boarded the red carpet. This film is directed by Gilbert Landrini and stars Tom Cruise, Naomi Watts, Catherine Zeta Jones and others. It is currently available in North America The box office has exceeded 1.5 million US dollars.

This movie is also a favorite for awards this year, and almost everyone thinks that Gilbert Jr. will win his first Oscar gold medal..."

Jennifer Connelly looked at the star-studded Naomi Watts on the TV with a little envy.

"Naomi looks so beautiful! When can I go up there and take a walk?" Jennifer exclaimed.

Cameron Diaz said: "Didn't Little Gilbert recommend you to star in "The Lost Girl"? He said that the film was good and you had a chance to be nominated."

Jennifer felt reassured when little Gilbert recommended her to star in a movie. Is this what it feels like to have strong backing? She loved it.

"Hopefully, next year I can also walk on the red carpet." Jennifer said.

The film "The Lost Lady" is a Sony Columbia Pictures project, directed by James Mangold and starring Verona Ryder.

Although last summer, two films from Sony Columbia Pictures, especially "Godzilla", encountered strong resistance from Gilbert Jr., and ultimately the North American box office failed to exceed 100 million.

But when it comes to roles, Sony Columbia Pictures doesn't hold grudges. Little Gilbert recommended Jennifer, and they agreed.

Of course, Verona Ryder plays a big part in that.

She was not happy with Angelina Jolie, who was originally chosen, and because Gilbert was about to lose Gwen's dream of winning the Oscar for Best Actress, she strongly recommended Jennifer.

In this way, Jennifer naturally defeated Angelina Jolie and won the second female lead in the film.

This made big-mouthed Julie very unhappy. She sucked too much and started talking everywhere. Jennifer only got the chance by giving little Gilbert that opportunity.

She thinks she is no worse than Jennifer, and she can give that to little Gilbert, as long as little Gilbert is willing.

But then Big Mouth Julie was warned by some people, quickly admitted her mistake, and kept silent about the matter.

Cameron Diaz is also developing well. Last year, the romantic comedy "Mary Crazy" co-written with Ben Staller ranked third on the North American box office list.

The film took in US$1.73 million in North America, trailing only "The Matrix" and "The Last Day", and its global box office was also 3.21 million US dollars.

Cameron Diaz's interest in Oscars is not as persistent as that of Naomi Watts. In many cases, her acting in movies is more like a hobby and fun.

Cameron Diaz also told little Gilbert that she plans to retire when she turns 40 and then go to work as a white-collar worker at Melon Studio.

Little Gilbert didn't force it and agreed to Cameron Diaz's request.

But now Cameron Diaz is still early in his retirement age. He recently took on another film, cooperating with Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu, starring in a film called "Charlie's Angels".

This film is extremely rare. In an era when commercial films are dominated by male stars, this is one of the few films where all female characters take on major responsibilities.

The awards ceremony continued. On the red carpet, after signing autographs and taking photos, the creators of "Chicago" accepted simple interviews, which were all regular questions.

Shortly after the red carpet ceremony, the Oscars ceremony officially took place.

As usual, as the host of the awards, Ugo first teased the nominated films and some well-known guests.

As a drama series that is popular for awards, "Chicago" is undoubtedly the one that has been ridiculed the most.

Generally speaking, the guests are very cooperative with this kind of teasing, applauding and smiling.

A scene like the one where Will Smith came on stage and slapped the host was probably rare to see many times. Of course, there is a limit to the host's jokes, and it's not good to go too far.

The seats of the crew of "Chicago" were very close to the front. To the left of little Gilbert were Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman. Nicole was not easy either. She attended the award ceremony with a big belly to support Tom Cruise.

To the right of little Gilbert are Naomi Watts and Catherine, who are as close as sisters.

In fact, in external marketing activities, the two were promoted as good sisters, with the purpose of joining forces to win awards.

There was no conflict in the nomination, which made it possible for the two to cooperate.

Moreover, they both slept with little Gilbert, and there was no big difference between them. The first award is handed out quickly, usually to attract attention, and this award is usually the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, which "Chicago" was not nominated for.

Although "Shakespeare in Love" was nominated, the award ultimately went to James Coburn for "Misery."

Little Gilbert also saw the crew of "Shakespeare in Love" from a distance, and seemed to have a tacit understanding. Harvey happened to look over, and the two looked at each other, as if they had completed a firefight in the air.

The next few technical awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Makeup, Best Sound, etc., were all won by "Chicago".

However, "Shakespeare in Love" only won one award for Best Original Song for a Film, which is relatively useless.

"Catherine, you'll be here soon, are you nervous?" Naomi Watts asked.

Catherine looked calm on the surface, but she was actually very panicked inside. She held Naomi Watts' hand and said, "I'm so nervous. I've done so much work. What if I don't win the prize?"

Little Gilbert comforted: "Your performance is great. The judges can't ignore it. Don't worry."

It is indeed great. Regardless of off-screen factors, Catherine's performance as Velma deserves an Oscar, and this award is also the focus of competition between "Shakespeare in Love" and "Chicago."

The suspense was quickly revealed, and the award presenter on the stage quickly read out the name: "The winner of the Best Supporting Actress is "Chicago", Catherine Zeta Jones, congratulations to her."

When she heard her name, Catherine covered her mouth in surprise, finally jumped up, hugged Naomi Watts, and then gave little Gilbert a sweet kiss.

This scene was recorded on camera, and the celebrity guests also laughed in good faith.

After many attempts in Hollywood failed, Catherine finally established a foothold in Hollywood with "Chicago" and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

The cast of "Chicago" was jubilant, but the cast of "Shakespeare in Love" was gloomy.

Harvey said to his brother Bob: "It seems that this year, instead of dividing the cake, the family will dominate."

Harvey's premonition was correct. Although "Shakespeare in Love" has done so much work, "Chicago" is coming in a big way this year.

Harvey dared to say that at another time and with another person, "Shakespeare in Love" would have had a great chance of winning. But now, there is little hope.

According to the Chinese language that little Gilbert liked, it means that the right time, the right place, the right people and the right people are not on the side of "Shakespeare in Love", and the time is wrong.

The award ceremony continued, and "Shakespeare in Love" won the Best Original Screenplay, which was still a waste.

"Chicago" also won a best adapted screenplay, but Gilbert Jr. did not go up to accept the award. Instead, he asked the two screenwriters who signed the script to go up to accept the award.

This can be regarded as a kind of metaphysics. If there is only one chance to get up, little Gilbert hopes that he can play on the most important award.

After a few unimportant awards, it’s time for the Oscar for Best Actress.

Over at "Shakespeare in Love", Gwen looked over and happened to see Naomi Watts whispering something in little Gilbert's ear.

Gwen felt a little regretful. After chatting that day, she knew that her chances of winning the award were slim.

Now this feeling was getting stronger and stronger, so Gwen looked at Naomi Watts, the jealousy in her eyes almost overwhelmed her.

It was Catherine who was nervous just now, and now it's Naomi Watts' turn.

Naomi Watts didn't dare to listen to what the award-winning guest above was saying. She buried her head on little Gilbert's shoulder and acted like an ostrich.

Little Gilbert comforted Naomi Watts: "Don't be nervous, Naomi, your performance is great, no problem. We have done so much work just for this moment."

After little Gilbert comforted her, Naomi Watts showed up with a forced smile on her face.

The award presenter on the stage was still joking: "It seems that Naomi was nervous and was seeking comfort from Little Gilbert. Let's stop talking nonsense and take a look at the nominees for Best Actress at this year's Oscars. ”

There are five nominations on the list, and the other three are basically companions. All the focus is on Naomi Watts and Gwen.

Therefore, the other three nominated actresses have a very calm attitude. They have little hope but are not so nervous.

On the contrary, it was Gwen, whose face looked disgusting when the camera was on her. Knowing that there was a high probability that she had no chance of winning the prize, Gwen put on a bad face.

As everyone knows, with her look like this, the judges will not give her the award.

The award presenters did not waste time. Helen Hunt, the best actress at the last Oscar, announced the best actress at the 71st Oscar.

"The winner of this year's Oscar for Best Actress is Naomi Watts of "Chicago"..."

When she heard her name from Helen Hunt, Naomi Watts felt surprised and incredible. She covered her mouth, then excitedly hugged little Gilbert and gave her a sweet kiss.

Little Gilbert patted Naomi Watts on the back and said in her ear: "Go and receive your honor as my Best Actress."

Naomi Watts nodded, held up her dress, accepted the blessings from the people around her, and walked towards the podium.

In "Shakespeare in Love", Gwen felt that she had lost something, and her face became darker.

　I recommend the book "I Really Didn't Want to Give In, It's Just That They Are Too Strong". It's not bad. It was written by a female author in the group. I heard there are benefits, so everyone can go and watch it.
