“The ones who won the best original script nomination are…”

On the stage, Jessica Alba turned to the big screen behind her, and the screen was showing the nominees and the films, "American Scam, Eric Sieger and David O-Russell; Nebraska, Bob Nelson; Dark City, Murphy Stanton; Blue Jasmine, Woody Allen; Dallas Buyer Club, Clegg Bowden and Melissa Wareco."

Jessica Alba opened the envelope, "The winner of the Oscar is Murphy Stanton, "The City of Darkness"!"

Another warm applause from the Dolby Theater rang out. Murphy stood up and walked quickly to the stage amid the applause around him. When passing by the crew of "The Great Gatsby", he vaguely saw Leonardo DiCaprio's slightly angry face, but he didn't care at all.

He went straight to the stage and took over the Oscar Little Golden Man who represented the Best Original Script from Jessica Alba.

"Congratulations, Murphy."

Jessica Alba hugged Murphy gently, and Murphy nodded slightly, "Thank you."

Then, Murphy walked to the center of the round stage and said, "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you Academy, thank you everyone on the crew of "Dark City", thank you for my friends and partners, you are the best!"

After saying this simply, he turned around and walked towards the backstage.

Entering the backstage, Murphy politely declined the interview request from a reporter from ABC TV. Accompanied by a staff member, he entered the special passage and returned to the main hall of the Dolby Theater. When he sat in his seat, Allen DeGeneres was introducing the award presenter.

"I'll invite Daniel Day Lewis, the winner of the previous Oscar for Best Actor..."

The music sounded, and Hollywood's most iconic actor Daniel Day Lewis walked onto the stage with an envelope.

Margot Robbie on the right side of Gal Gadot immediately tensed up because the next thing to be awarded is... Best Actress Award!

Thirty feet away from the Dark City crew, Cate Blanchett looked at the Dark City crew, and she knew very well who her main competitor was.

It wasn't Sandra Brock, not Amy Adams, not Meryl Streep, but Margot Robbie, who is also an Australian!

"Five extraordinary women were nominated for Best Actress."

Maybe it is a special design, and the extremely short string of words is very Daniel Day Lewis' style, "the nominees are..."

The big screen lights up again, "Amy Adams, "American Scam", Sandra Brock, "Georgeous"; Meryl Streep, "August Orange County", Margot Robbie, "Dark City", Cate Blanchett, "Blue Jasmine".

There was a silence in the Dolby Theater, and everyone was waiting for Daniel Day Lewis to announce the final result.

Murphy turned his head and looked at Margot Robbie. Margot Robbie was obviously nervous and grabbed Gal Gadot's hand with one hand.

Then, he looked at the crew of "Blue Jasmine".

The only real competitors in "Dark City" in this award is Cate Blanchett. Amy Adams is not very popular among the academics. Sandra Brock's face was stiff when he got an injection. Meryl Streep will keep breaking the nomination record, but it is very difficult to win another Best Actress.

On the stage, Dennis Day Lewis has opened the envelope, "The best actress is... Margot Robbie, "The City of Darkness."

Murphy immediately clapped his palms, and everyone around him began to applaud, and the applause quickly spread to the surroundings and eventually converged into an ocean.

Margot Robbie covered her mouth in shock, as if she could not believe that she had won the Oscar for Best Actress. With the congratulations around her, she slowly stood up, hugged Gal Gadot and Murphy, who were closest to each other, and then walked to the stage.

Leonardo DiCaprio's face was gloomy, and all bad premonitions were coming true.

Not far away from him, Carey Mulligan looked at Margot Robbie on the stage with envy. The Australian actress actually won the Academy Award for Best Actress... If, if she had been by Murphy, she would have walked up to receive the award at this moment, right?

Carey Mulligan showed a bitter smile.

"Thank you, thank you judges. I... I'm really... so... so excited!"

After taking the Oscar Little Golden Man handed over by Dennis Day Lewis, Margot Robbie seemed to be so excited that she couldn't help herself, "I want to thank too many people."

She paused, adjusted her breathing slightly, and said, "First of all, I would like to thank Murphy, for every cooperation with him, I can see my shortcomings and make great progress. I also want to thank Gal Gadot, you are my best friend, who always inspires me to keep moving forward. I want to thank my family, David, Peter, Lelia, for your concerns I will never forget. Finally, I want to say, it is the atmosphere of Hollywood's independence, freedom and democracy that has made us brilliant."

As soon as these words were said, they undoubtedly stood on the liberal side, and countless cheers sounded at the scene.

Margot Robbie cited the Little Golden Man, "Any force's censorship of Hollywood is interfering with freedom!"

No one expected that Margot Robbie would say such controversial words on such an important occasion, but there was no argument or ridicule in the Dolby Theater, only a cheer!

No Hollywood film practitioner likes to see the inexplicable censorship under the banner of morality fall on their heads.

The audience was much warmer than when Margot Robbie came on stage to receive the award. Everyone stood up on the crew of "Dark City", and then all the guests in the front row stood up and applauded. It seemed that Margot Robbie expressed their thoughts!

Murphy was also applauding hard, and no one liked the messy censorship, including him.

Indeed, Hollywood movies have MPAA grading production, but this is only Hollywood's internal self-evaluation. The right to speak MPAA is in the hands of the six major Hollywood companies, not external forces. Such a grading system is very different from the moral censorship of Hollywood movies established by the church headed by the Catholic Church in the last century.

It was when Hollywood movies broke the so-called moral censorship that truly embarked on the fast track that dominated the world's film market.

Every country has a certain amount of censorship in film and television, but to be fair, no practitioner in a related industry likes too strict restrictions.

For example, when Murphy was still on the other side of the Pacific, he used his summer time to work in a film and television company. Although he was engaged in the lowest-level job, he also witnessed the extremely exaggerated and rigorous scrutiny that the company faced at that time to prepare a TV series.

A TV series that reflects the business and entrepreneurship of ordinary people actually requires review by six departments.

During the project establishment, a main character in the TV series went abroad to work and needed to be reviewed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of Public Security; a small merchant hawker was arrested by the Bureau of Industry and Commerce and asked to be reviewed by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce; the characters in the play went to northern Shaanxi to buy oil, and asked to be reviewed by the Ministry of Land and Resources, the Ministry of Energy and the Ministry of Publicity and Publicity; farmers were ignorant of import and export business and also had to be reviewed by the Ministry of Commerce...

Murphy was stunned at that time. Although many so-called ministries and commissions were not reviewed by big scissors, just stamping a seal, I believe many people know how difficult it is.

If similar censorship falls into Hollywood, I'm afraid most practitioners in this circle will go crazy together.

Just as Murphy was thinking about it, Jennifer Lawrence, the winner of the last Oscar for Best Actress, walked onto the awards stage and prepared to award the Best Actor.

Leonardo DiCaprio immediately cheered up. Even though he knew that his chances of winning were very small, who would not want to take away the little golden man?

James Franco seemed calm, although he had never won the Best Actor before, but he was not as nervous as Margot Robbie before.

“It’s a great honor to be awarded the next award.”

Jennifer Lawrence seemed to pay special attention to his feet. "The performances of these five nominated actors are extremely contagious and fascinating. Those who won the Best Actor nomination are..."

She turned to the big screen, "Matthew McConaughey, "Dallas Buyers Club", Chevatt Eggford, "Twelve Years of Slave", Christian Bale, "American Scam", Leonardo DiCaprio, "The Great Gatsby", James Franko, "Dark City"!"

Murphy was very calm. Compared to Margot Robbie's Best Actress, James Franco had a greater chance of winning the Best Actor!

Caa basically didn't invest much resources to Matthew McConaughey, and it was already a lucky chance to get the nomination; Chevat Egg Ford's qualifications are much worse, and being able to get this nomination is more about taking care of the fragile glass hearts of the Black uncles; Christian Bale's basic public relations are obviously accumulating qualifications; Leonardo DiCaprio's chance of winning is lower than Chevat Egg Ford...

In Murphy's opinion, James Franco's best actor is the one who has the greatest grasp.

Jennifer Lawrence opened the envelope and read the answer as Murphy thought, "The best actor tonight is... James Franco, "Dark City"!"

When Leonardo DiCaprio heard this name, he was instantly ashamed. It was one thing to know that his chances of winning were low, and it was another thing to watch his enemy win the prize.
