Andrew was also in the midst of a pain he had never experienced before.

The first forty years of his life were really unlucky, and he wrote several works that he thought were excellent, but they were not filmed for various reasons. So much so that when the script is sold, it is no different from the price of the clearance sale.

He was so excited to be nominated this time that he had to rely on sleeping pills to fall asleep for days, and he knew that even if he didn't get that trophy in the end, he wouldn't worry that the next script wouldn't sell for a good price.

But when people are not satisfied, even he himself is ashamed of his greed, and hopes that after the nomination, he can personally get back the little golden man engraved with his name.

He actually knows very well that if Leila didn't revise the script with him, it would be difficult to say how many awards "Blood Diamond" would have won at the Oscars in the end. At the very least, he doesn't think he's qualified to get that nomination.

"The winners of the 82nd Best Adapted Screenplay Award were Andrew Elliott and Leila Moran!"

Applause rang out.

Andrew's whole body was in a state of stiffness when his name was pronounced. The sound of his own heartbeat sounded in his ears, as if he was not careful, boiling blood would spurt out of his nose.

"Andrew, congratulations. The crew members sitting near him happily congratulated him.

"Thank you, thank you. He stiffened, hugged everyone like a puppet, and then led by Leila, walked onto the stage hand and foot.

His actions made the guests in the audience laugh, and even made the audience watching the live broadcast in front of the TV laugh.

Seeing Andrew's appearance, Leila also knew how nervous he was, so she smiled and took the lead in walking to the podium: "Thank you Oscar, thank you to everyone in Dragon Soul Company, and thank my fiancé Roy for the support he has always given me." It is my honor to receive this award, and I will continue to work hard to bring more good films to you in the future. ”

She said a few words and then withdrew to the applause of the audience, leaving more opportunities for Andrew to speak. There would be many more opportunities for her to come to this position, so she didn't mind letting him stay a little longer, and she didn't want to take credit from him.

Holding the little golden figure in clumsy movements, Andrew stood stiffly in front of the podium, opened his mouth, and it took several seconds before he finally made a sound.

"Oh my God, if it's a dream, please don't wake me up, I'm willing to sleep here forever!"

"To win this award, I have to thank one person, director Leila Moran. His voice was a little hoarse, and it was very painful to remember the time when he had to sell the script he had worked so hard to write in order to make a living.

He once believed that even if there was a script that could be filmed smoothly, his life would be much better in the future, but unfortunately he didn't even get this opportunity.

"She helped me a lot, and she taught me how to grasp the rhythm of the script and how to make the plot flow better. I used to envy director Moran's achievements in scripts, and after working with her, I realized that her success was not accidental, and her rigor in the quality of the script made me admire and ashamed. I'm really, really grateful to her. ”

He said as he looked over to Leila, getting an encouraging smile. And the guests in the audience also applauded him again.

Andrew took a deep breath and continued, "I would also like to thank Mr. DiCaprio, without his excellent performance and love for the script, there would be no Blood Diamond today. Finally, thank you to my wife and children for their unwavering support, and thank you to all the friends who worked hard for this film, thank you!"

Andrew couldn't stop crying after his acceptance speech, and his true feelings made the guests and the audience happy for him.

But many people also paid attention to what he said, remembering his admiration for Leila. Everyone has always known that Leila's script was written by herself, and she has also won awards for her script, which makes everyone wonder, is her ability to adapt the script really so powerful?

The award for Best Adapted Screenplay also made fans in front of the TV happy for Leila, whether she was the first or second author, she was the best one in their hearts. Like Andrew, they thought that without her adaptation, there would be no winning this award.

After that, the awards were awarded one by one according to the procedure, and finally arrived at the audience's favorite acting awards.

Leila deliberately looked in Leonardo's direction, and saw that he still had the heart to talk to the female companion sitting next to him, and there was no nervous expression at all, only to know that he really didn't think he would win that award.

This left Leila not knowing whether to laugh or be angry. It's just a hunch, so how can I look down on myself? I can also show some confidence in a well-known Hollywood actor!

In the acting category, Leila's side accounted for two, namely Best Actor and Supporting Actor. In fact, she felt that the heroine's performance in the movie was also good, surpassing her previous level and deserving of an Oscar nomination.

But apparently the judges thought differently from her, or only a minority had the same opinion, and unfortunately missed out in the end. But it cannot be denied that the actors who have participated in her films, even if it is just a small role, will be very optimistic about the industry. Everyone knows that Leila's skills in training actors are very good, and those who have worked with her usually have more cost-effective value.

At this time, Germaine Hansu was nervously looking at the presenter on the podium, that is, the winner of the last year's Best Supporting Actress, Penelope Cruz.

Leonardo joked with him when he looked nervous, but his partner was visibly absent-minded, staring at the stage with bloodshot eyes.

Unfortunately, he didn't end up bringing a second statuette to "Blood Diamond", and the award was Christopher Waltz for playing a role in "Inglourious Basterds".

The result was disappointing to Germain, and although he was able to keep smiling when the camera moved to his face, the crew knew how much he wanted the award. Just as Leonardo has always said that this is his closest chance to an Oscar, Germain thinks the same thing. He doesn't know if he is lucky enough to work with director Moran again, so he really cherishes this opportunity.

When everyone praised his acting skills and comforted him for his loss, it finally came to the best actor.
