Exploiting Hollywood 1980

Shirley MacLean was right about the long and slow process of awarding the Oscars, with the Best Actress award being awarded in the penultimate place. The waiting process of more than three hours was a torment for all the nominees.

The earliest major award given out was Best Supporting Actor. Ronald saw "an old acquaintance" Timothy Hutton again, who came on stage with Mary Tyler Moore as the presenter.

When the nominees were announced, the "Mother-Daughter Love" crew was obviously well-received. The first nominee, John Lithgow, received a collective applause from the audience. He is the actor who played the role of the heroine's father, priest, in "Full Body".

Another nominee from the same cast, Jack Nicholson, received twice as much applause as John Lithgow. Finally, Hutton announced that he won the best supporting actor.

Jack Nicholson took off his sunglasses and went up to give his acceptance speech.

"I guess you won the queen, the audience obviously applauded your crew more than everyone else, they are all voters, and your performance is obviously a level higher than others", Ronald attached to Shirley Mack Lin's ear spoke her own analysis.

"Ah...haha...don't talk about it, you little clever ghost." Shirley was overjoyed at what she said, and she was afraid that Ronald would scare away Goddess of Luck by saying that she was too full.

She started clapping happily, giving her partner Nicholson a round of applause. The camera swept over, gave a shot, and swept in Ronald next to him.

"The producer, the writer, and the director are the same person, James Brooks, who has done everything for our actors...including changing the 11th edition of my acceptance speech." Jack Nicholson's remarks caused a burst of laughter.

"I would have liked to thank Shirley (MacLean) and Deborah (Wenger) for inspiring my performance, but they are still competing for best actress and I'll congratulate them later."

"Hahaha..." Everyone applauded, and most of the guests present knew what was going on.

Shirley and Deborah's bodies were obviously stiff at the same time, and the competition between the two of them for the actress was already very obvious.

Next came Ronald's acquaintances, "Blitzkrieg" actress Jennifer Beals, and "War Game" actor Matthew Brodick for best original song.

"Eileen Kara, Flash Dance!"

Ronald grinned as his old friend Erin Cara came onto the stage, she was rich Latin-style with a big red flower on her head, and stammered to thank Beers for adding to her vocals. .

"Now she doesn't have to worry about not singing for the next two or three years.

"

Then there's another acquaintance, Schwarzenegger playing the robot killer in Cameron's new "Terminator." Together with Joan Collins, he presented the award to six Tech Award winners. They all made some inventions that benefited the entire film industry.

However, there is no golden man in the technology award, only a certificate.

After that, the "mother-daughter love" has mixed joys and sorrows.

Shelly hugged her over to comfort her previously high-profile art director Polly Platt, who didn't win the award.

The director, Peter Bogdanovich, who is actually related to Ronald, once took him to meet the master Orson Welles, is Polly's ex-husband. Bogdanovich abandoned Polly and a daughter for actress Sybill Shepard.

In the end, it was Roger Coleman who offered her a job, allowing Polly to return to her old career as art direction, and now to the pinnacle of her career.

James Brooks, the producer, screenwriter, and director, won the first two awards for Best Adapted Screenplay and Best Director.

A few hours after the party, it was finally time for the two remaining awards, Best Actress and Best Picture.

The female guest of honor happened to be the daughter of actress Judy Garland who played Dorothy in the original version of "Return to Oz" directed by Walter Murkey, singer Lisa Minnelli.

Except for Deborah Wenger in the same crew, Shirley MacLean's opponents are all very strong. There's also Meryl Streep in Slikwoood, and British actor Julie Waters, who played a college-going hairdresser in Educating Rita, who was cast by Michael Caine Play as a professor of education and change his own destiny.

When Lisa Minnelli mentioned Shirley MacLean's nomination, Ronald saw that Shirley MacLean, who had been in the show business for more than 30 years, had tense muscles and almost couldn't laugh.

He tried to make her relax, and after the camera turned, he said, "I have a hunch...you..."

"Oh, shut up." Shirley MacLean couldn't stand the tension and slapped Ronald on the thigh, "Don't talk!"

"The winner is..." Lisa Minnelli opened the envelope, "The winner is Shirley MacLean"

"Oh..." Ronald applauded vigorously.

Shirley MacLean stood up, and when she relaxed, she put an arm around Ronald and kissed him. Then he went down the steps, and when he passed Deborah Wenger in front, he didn't forget to go down and kiss Deborah, and said something in her ear.

McLean walked more and more dashingly, she walked onto the stage, hugged tightly with the two presenters, and took over the golden statuette.

"I'm almost crying, this awards ceremony is almost as long as my acting career."

"Hahaha..." The audience was overwhelmed by her humor and applauded desperately.

Shirley MacLean was so excited on it, she packed up her emotions, "I want to know how this trophy feels to the touch. I have been waiting for 26 years. Thank the committee for revealing the suspense tonight."

"Hahahaha..." There was another burst of laughter and applause. It has been twenty-six years since McLean was nominated for the first time in 1958.

"Oh, I'm a little nervous...I'm not going to thank everyone in my life...but given my recent mental state, probably everyone I know in this life and in the past may have helped me with my award today. ."

"Hahahaha..." The audience began to applaud again, and McLean laughed at herself about her recent obsession with aliens and reincarnation.

American people are very fond of successful people if they have a sense of humor.

"If the mother-daughter bond happened five years ago, I would probably say it was a happy accident. But now I don't believe in accidents, I now believe that what we want is what we can get. Believe in yourself, be you What you want to do in your heart is actually the same thing as success.”

McLean gradually recovered and began to thank the director and other actors.

"I've always wanted to work with Jack Nicholson, since he had chicken sandwiches on 'Five Songs' for over a decade..."

Nicholson used it so well, wearing sunglasses and blowing a kiss to McLean, which he made famous after breaking away from Roger Coleman.

"It's really a middle-aged woman's benefit to be able to roll in bed with him in the movie."

"Hahaha..." People rarely see Jack Nicholson embarrassed.

McLean was very old and flirted with Nicholson.

"I would also like to thank Deborah Wenger, who is as talented as a hurricane, her performance was so real, I felt like I had two daughters for the four months I was filming."

"Hahaha..." Ronald saw it, and Maclean didn't forget to ridicule Deborah Wenger for being too difficult on the set when she won the award.

"But in the end, I would also like to say that life and movies are like clay, waiting for us to shape it into ceramics. Our success starts when we believe in our hearts, and God blesses everyone if we believe we are worthy success.

I deserve this! thank you all! "

Shirley MacLean raised the statue and stepped off the stage amid the music.

"Papapa..." Everyone fell in love with her charm and self-confidence, nominated five times, which lasted 26 years, and Shirley MacLean was finally crowned the queen.

Ronald hugged McLean again, "Wait to send it to the backstage, someone will take it there, and it will be returned to you after the engraving in two weeks."

"Oh, I'm so excited," McLean's eyes flickered a little. "The luck you brought me, Ronald, must come to my birthday party."

Counting the time, just two weeks before "Breakdance" was released, Ronald smiled and agreed.

The last award was also taken away by "Mother-Daughter Love". This kind of blockbuster with excellent scripts, performances, and stars often only appears once in two or three years, and it can sweep away multiple heavyweight awards.

After attending the party after the crew gala, Ronald walked with Nisita exhausted.

Complete the task. Ronald answered a few words about his new film to the winners after the party. There was also a party after the party, and a lot of business cards were exchanged.

During this Oscar dinner, Ronald clearly felt that there were more people who knew him and who took the initiative to get acquainted with him than before.

Nisita is also very satisfied with him, "For an award of this level after the new film, there will be a busy entertainment period after winning the award, and Maclean will be held up to the sky, various interviews, various parties, and some blockbusters. We will also offer tentative olive branches to her. Because she is a veteran actress, the producers are not afraid of her suddenly high self-esteem and offer a sky-high price."

"You were able to attend her birthday party, which is a great opportunity to market your movie."

"Well..." Ronald thought for a while, "I'm afraid she will scare away a bunch of people by talking about reincarnation and aliens."
