Most of the staff behind this new crew participated in the previous filming of "Dark City" and were also very concerned about whether the film could be nominated for the Oscar.

Then Robert Downey Jr., Margot Robbie and others who came out of the dressing room also walked to Gal Gadot and Emma Watson who followed her to visit the set.

Murphy also walked over and cast a caring look.

"Guess..." Emma Watson deliberately kept it a secret, "How many Oscar nominations have been received in Dark City?"

James Franco was very familiar with her and said directly, "Let me say it quickly, don't talk too much."

Emma Watson looked at Gal Gadot beside him and said, "Best Makeup, Best Photography, Best Editing, Best Soundtrack, Best Art Direction, Best Visual Effects, Best Soundtrack Editing, Best Original Screenplay, Best Soundtrack, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!"

After saying that, she asked Gal Gadot again, "Is that true?"

Gal Gadot nodded slightly.

"One, two, three..."

Jonah Hill, who was following James Franco, was counting the number of nominations based on his fingers, "a total of thirteen Oscar nominations."

"Thirteen." Robert Downey Jr. repeated the number, with a somewhat regretful tone, "It's not the most ever."

But Murphy laughed, "There are already quite a few nominations for thirteen Oscars."

Importantly, "Dark City" won the four most important nominations: Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture!

"Yes!" Seth Logan echoed, "Thirteen can be said to be quite a lot!"

Everyone around laughed. Isn’t there too many nominations for thirteen Oscars?

Judging from the Oscar nomination, "Dark City" lost the Golden Globes before, and did not have much negative impact.

The weather vane award that can truly influence the Oscars is ultimately the major trade union awards within the industry.

After getting the Oscar nomination, they naturally have to prepare for the final award ceremony. How many people who participate in the Oscar competition don’t want to win the Little Golden Man?

Emma Watson looked at the sound of heated discussion around him, and his eyes were also a little envious. If he could have an Oscar nomination, he would not be as troublesome as today and would not be able to get rid of Hermione Granger's influence.

Thinking of the recent criticism of the media and some people, Emma Watson is also a little helpless.

"Okay, the time is almost over." Murphy raised his voice a little, reminding the people around him, "Go to prepare for the next work."

The people nearby gradually dispersed and returned to their respective posts to prepare for the next shooting.

Emma Watson followed Gal Gadot and accompanied Murphy back to the director's monitor. Seeing that Murphy would be fine, he came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Murphy."

"Thank you." Murphy turned his head and looked at her. He was also familiar with each other and said casually, "You have had a lot of trouble recently."

"Yes." Emma Watson shrugged, "Some people always like to attack others from the moral high ground."

Murphy casually comforted her, "It will be fine after a while, and the criticism will not last long."

A few days ago, after the latest issue of "Vanity Fair" was published, Emma Watson, as the cover character, shot some of the larger photos for "Vanity Fair", which attracted a lot of criticism, and some people directly hit her on the head.

Especially some feminists, who criticized Emma Watson for being hypocritical and said that she regarded herself as a feminist, but still took sexy photos of "pleasing for men".

There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, just like the Catholics attacked Murphy, no matter what they say or do, they always have excuses and reasons to attack.

After chatting with Emma Watson for a few words, Murphy re-entered the shooting.

Since this time the shooting used an old 35mm camera and film, the photography also returned to nature, Murphy rarely interfered with the photography team, and the photography was basically left to Felix Raschel.

Although shooting does not require too many skills, it is also very skillful, but it is not difficult for Filey Raschel to deal with it.

The shooting continued until nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, when Murphy announced that today's work ended.

"I just read the script."

As we walked towards the door of the set together, Emma Watson said to Murphy as he walked, "The content is too amazing! The reporters from that year also had the courage!"

"For American society, bishop sexually assaulting children is a phenomenon that some people know and many people don't know. The reporter stood opposite the huge authority and blamed not one or two, or more than seventy bishops, but pointed directly at the Holy See's cover and * in the system."

What Murphy said was some objective facts, "This is a story that has not been faced, not valued, but has to be told. Unlike revealing the Watergate incident or the tobacco group's nicotine infringement, their most difficult thing is not to explore the truth and repeat legal procedures to confirm it, but to convince their hearts."

Then they walked out of the door of the set and were immediately surrounded by reporters. The bodyguards quickly blocked Murphy.

The Oscar nomination list has just been announced. Emma Watson, who is in the vortex of public opinion, is here again. The enthusiasm of the reporters can be imagined.

For the sake of the film's promotion and marketing considerations, Murphy is also preparing to accept an interview.

With a loud reminder from a bodyguard, the order at the scene gradually improved, but the bodyguards still tightly surrounded Murphy, for fear that a reporter would rush to Murphy.

The reporter and the paparazzi quickly reached a tacit understanding and asked several representatives for questions.

Actually, these people are not stupid either. If the scene is always chaotic, Murphy will only turn around and walk away. Now he can get some news.

After Murphy answered several low-level questions about whether he was happy to be nominated for thirteen Oscars, a reporter asked about the current video.

"Director Stanton, why did your new film choose such a subject?"

"I think I have an obligation to let more people know these things, and know what efforts the journalists made for justice and the truth!"

Of course, Murphy would not. What he said now is some righteous words. "How many people know about the situation reported in the "Focus" column back then, but they don't know, because after weighing the trade-offs, the social pressure and the actual benefits brought by this tall organization are much greater than the small meaning of honesty to oneself that tells the truth. Sometimes it even arises, 'If I say whether I betrayed God and faith,' and 'Do my sacrifice dedicate myself to a greater meaning', so we should praise the courage of the "Focus" group, even though they only did their part."

He paused for a moment and said, "These stories that have not been faced, not valued, but have to be told everywhere; the courage to stand opposite the authority is too demanding for those trapped in it, but for those who are in the media, it should be their job. Sometimes, if you want to make the truth clearer, the power to be tamed is weaker, and the power to be spurred is heavier."

A reporter suddenly turned his attention to Emma Watson and asked, "What do you think of Miss Watson's recent criticism?"

Murphy certainly knew what they were asking, and looked at Emma Watson, and then said, "Feminism is giving women the right to choose, and feminism is not used to attack other women. It is about freedom, about liberation and the basic principles of equality. I really don't understand what the breasts have to do with this? It's very confusing."

Then, the reporter turned the question to Emma Watson. Emma Watson did not avoid it and directly replied, "This incident made me realize that people still have many misunderstandings and wrong ideas about feminism. I am very confused, and most people are also confused, but I am really stunned."

The bodyguards saw Murphy's hint at this time, and separated the reporter's encirclement and let Murphy and the other two get into the car together.

"Thank you, Murphy." Emma Watson said sincerely, "Thank you for supporting me."

Murphy smiled, "This is what it should be."

It was just saying something that was biased towards Emma Watson, not doing anything amazing.

Emma Watson also followed Murphy to Wave Manor. The other members of the Stanton party members also drove here to attend Murphy's dinner together.

This is also a small celebration for "Dark City" to receive thirteen Oscar nominations.

Since the 86th Academy Awards ceremony will not be held until early March, Murphy will be busy with the shooting of "Focus", the Oscars have not relaxed at all.

After the nomination list was announced, the situation suddenly became clear. Murphy could easily judge his biggest opponent. For example, in the four most important awards, the best director faces competition from Alfonso Cuaron. In the best film, "Twelve Years of Slave" is quite strong because of its special theme. It is unknown who will win the battle with James Franco and Leonardo DiCaprio in the Best Actor. Margot Robbie's best actress nomination was even more Cate Blanchett...

It is no exaggeration to say that every opponent is strong and has no confidence in winning.

However, one thing still shows the view of "Dark City" within the academy. In the Directors Union Awards and Producers League Awards that have successively announced the award list, "Dark City" has won the top ten awards for Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director and Best Picture. No matter from any perspective, it is the biggest hit at this Academy Awards!
