Chapter 168 It’s over! I’m going to be surrounded by beautiful stars!
After presenting the award, Chen An walked away from the camera, walked around, and walked away from the periphery of the stage.

Although the award ceremony has been completed, the award ceremony has not yet begun.

None of the several big prizes for Million Dollar Baby started.

After the Best Foreign Language Film award was announced, the Best Supporting Actor award began to be announced.

By the time Chen An sat back in his seat, the award presenter Angelina Jolie had already walked onto the stage and began to introduce the five nominated actors with a smile.

Clips of performances by several actors appeared on the screen, including Morgan Freeman, which were clips taken from the movie.

It's a shame that Morgan, who has starred in countless classic movies and left many classic roles, has never won an Oscar to date.

He was nominated twice before but failed both times, and this is his second time being nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

Morgan was already used to it. He sat in his seat comfortably, with a smile on his face, silently waiting for Angelina's announcement.

Angelina on the stage opened the envelope, looked at the name inside, put her mouth to the microphone and announced loudly: "The actor who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is Morgan Freeman from Million Dollar Baby! Congratulations!"

"Pa pa pa~!" Applause broke out in the venue in an instant.

Morgan, who has been in the industry for decades, finally won his first Oscar, and Chen An's crew finally opened.

"Morgan, there's no need to go on stage and cry and thank me. You're already old." Chen An stood up and accepted the other party's hug and said jokingly.

Morgan patted Chen An's shoulder without getting angry and said, "If it's the best actor, I can give it a try." Then he walked towards the stage.

This was a short journey, but it took him more than thirty years. Although he did not win the Best Actor award, it is his only Oscar for Best Actor.

It’s really long!
Morgan took the trophy from Angelina and expressed his gratitude. He held the trophy tightly in his hand and looked at it. After a while, he spoke into the microphone:

"Finally, I don't have to hear people say that Morgan Freeman doesn't have an Oscar and his acting skills aren't that great. I've come a long way for this little guy."

He first expressed his feelings and then made a little joke.

Although he was joking with Chen An, he still thanked Chen An.

Chen An also smiled and nodded in front of the camera.

Finally, with a simple wave of his hand, Morgan calmly walked off the stage. He had fulfilled a wish, but his goal was still far away.

Next was the announcement of the Best Actor award, which was also Clint's second nomination for this award.

The last one was the movie he directed himself, "Unforgiven", which won the Best Picture and Best Director awards but failed to win the Best Actor award.

During the Western film era, there wasn't even a single actor nomination.

What’s interesting is that the award was presented by Hilary Swank, the original heroine of “Million Dollar Baby”.

After her introduction, five nominated male actors appeared on the big screen. Finally, she opened the envelope, took out the list of winners and announced the winners.

The winner was Russell Crowe, the actor who starred in "Gladiator".

Old man Clint failed the exam again.

But the old man didn't care. His current interest was in being a director, and he didn't really care whether he could win the Best Actor award.

Clapped and congratulated the other nominees.

After Russell Crowe finished speaking, Charlize Theron, who was sitting next to Chen An, became nervous unconsciously because the Best Actress Award was coming up soon.

Although she defeated Julia Roberts at the Golden Globe Awards, Julia's "Erin Brockovich" was still the most popular Oscar winner.

Chen An patted her legs calmly, trying to make her relax. She still had a good chance of winning the final award.

Both films won the Best Actress award, and it's still unclear who will win.

Moreover, Hilary Swank can win the Best Actress award for the second time with this movie, which is much more difficult than the first time.

"Don't worry, Theron. Believe me, you will win. You will win at the Golden Globe Awards. No matter if she is Julia or anyone else, even if she is Audrey Hepburn, the winner is you."

Chen An whispered to comfort the other person.

Charlize Theron unconsciously held Chen An's hand on her leg, and Chen An also felt Naomi's gaze.

Last year's Oscar winner Kevin Spacey, also the leading actor of House of Cards, walked onto the stage after presenting the Lifetime Honorary Award.

This guy talked a lot of nonsense like in a TV series. He spoke for a while before he started introducing the five nominated actresses. Their videos also appeared on the big screen.

When he opened the envelope and saw the list of winners, he suddenly looked at Julia below and said regretfully, "Julia, I'm so sorry, the Oscar winner for Best Actress is Million Dollar Baby! Congratulations to Charlize Theron!"

At this time, announcer Gina Tuttle also began to introduce Theron: "Charlize Theron, first time nominated for an Oscar, once nominated, once won."

Theron once again defeated Julia Roberts and won the Best Actress award at the Oscars!

Julia, who has been nominated three times, wore a black evening gown. Her carefully made-up makeup and hair were in vain. Even in front of the camera, she couldn't help looking disappointed. This was her third failure.

And Charlize Theron stood up excitedly, first hugged Chen An tightly, kissed Chen An again, and then began to hug and shake hands with other people around her.

Wearing a stylish outfit carefully matched by Dior and stepping on high heels, she walked up to the podium and received the trophy for Best Actress from Kevin Spacey.

Chen An was also clapping happily below. It’s good to win awards. It’s good to win awards. The more awards you win, the more the box office will increase.

Julia Roberts, right? You were invited to act with your niece but you didn’t want to do it, so I took away the Best Actress award from you too!
Helping Theron win the Best Actress award will probably make it much easier for her to find those actresses to work with in the future. She might even be eager to lick her broken bones.

Standing on the podium, facing the microphone, Theron paused for a moment. What Chen An said to old man Morgan appeared in Theron's mind, and she began to cry unconsciously.

Since her debut, most of her roles have been so-called vase roles, where people only value her beauty as a side dish in the movie. She has also been confused about whether she is really suitable for this profession.

Until Chen An found her with the script and helped her win the Best Actress award which she had never dared to think about before!

Holding the trophy, she gently wiped the corners of her eyes with her wrist. Her moist eyes were a little red, and she began to thank Chen An:

"Thank you to the judges for giving me this award. Thank you Chen for choosing me. You found me who has always played only vase roles. I have always wondered if I am suitable for the profession of an actor. No one cares about my acting skills. They just want me to dress up beautifully. Only you found me to play this kind of role. Thank you for your encouragement and help."

Her speech was probably the longest, and she even paused sometimes.

Chen An just sat there and clapped for her silently. For a beautiful actress, it is essential to be used as a vase.

If you are an aspiring actor, then this is a painful road that you must try.

And Charlize Theron is obviously such an actor, otherwise she wouldn't have destroyed her own appearance to star in a movie like "Monster".
