"Margaret Lindsay's fawning face is really ugly." Anita Brown glanced at the two people who were chatting happily in the center of the crowd, and said in a very subtle tone, "Remember? Grant, how arrogant she was when she first came to Hollywood. It's a pity that now she can only act like a dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy in front of Nicole."

Jenny Grant pursed her lips in fear and whispered, "Anita, there are too many people here, this is not a place where we can talk freely."

"So? Are you scared?" Anita smiled indifferently, her brows and eyes were gloomy and pale, "Don't worry, we are not the protagonists today."

"Everyone is trying to get close to her, and no one will notice us."

Anita didn't mention any names, but Jenny knew she wasn't talking about Margaret Lindsay, but the girl standing next to her.

The girl has only been in Hollywood for two years, but since last year's hit "Freedom Road", she has been the name that Anita pays the most attention to and cares about the most - the girl's rise is too strong, and now she has stepped on Anita, who has always been ranked first among actresses in her 20s, to reach a higher position and directly compete for the throne of the Oscar for Best Actress.

And she is not even 25 years old this year!

Such an astonishing rate of rise is rare even among white actors!

Generally speaking, it is difficult for Hollywood actresses to win an Oscar in their early 20s. The average age of their awards is around 35. So whether it was Anita Brown in the past or Margaret Lindsay now, they know that their hopes are slim, and they will not rush to win an Oscar in their early 20s. Instead, they will focus more on accumulating fame and honing their acting skills.

But this girl is an outlier. When she first arrived in Hollywood, she directly aimed at the Oscars. She is so bold that it is unbelievable.

If she really receives an Oscar tonight, it will not only represent an honor that creates history, but also mean countless resources are poured in...

If Jenny put herself in Anita's shoes, it would not be difficult for her to understand Anita's depressed mood at the moment.

"Maybe, she may not really get the little golden man..." Jenny said cautiously.

She thought this was what Anita wanted to hear, but she didn't expect the latter to roll her eyes at her in an indecent way -

"So who do you think will be the best actress tonight? Idiot!"

As a competitor, Anita certainly doesn't like Nicole Su, a woman who is good at pretending.

But as an actress, no matter how reluctant she was, she had to admit: among the five nominated candidates, only Nicole Su's performance was most worthy of this honor.

She gave the character a wild and unruly vitality, making people fall in love with the story that started with her, and also left a strong mark in film history with the most powerful attitude.

She is the real winner who deserves recognition from her opponents.

Before Su Lingxi felt that her face was about to freeze from smiling, the busy social interaction finally came to a temporary end.

Accompanied by cheerful music, the Oscar awards ceremony officially began.

Unlike the Golden Globe Awards last month, Su Lingxi did not bring a male companion tonight, and her seat was naturally arranged next to Li Shuo, who was also nominated for Best Director for "Freedom Road" - if Sigourney had not rejected the Oscar invitation, perhaps the organizer would have arranged for the three of them to sit together.

"You look pretty good." Li Shuo looked at her and said jokingly, "How confident are you tonight?"

"Hmm...about 70% to 80%."

Facing seniors whom he can trust, Su Lingxi is still very honest.

The certainty she mentioned is certainly not because she has predicted the result - compared with other awards, the voting rules of the Oscars are very strict, and it can be regarded as one of the most credible film awards in the world.

In other words, no matter how many tricks the public relations department used, they could only get verbal assurances from the members. And until the moment the envelope was torn open by the award presenter, no one would know the result except the two PwC specialists who were responsible for making the award list.

After Joanna was eliminated because of the scandal, Su Lingxi's public relations activities were much smoother than before, but no matter how many members promised to vote for her as the first place, they might regret it in the end.

After all, the second round of voting is a secret ballot, so even if someone changes their mind temporarily, they will not know who it is.

Therefore, Su Lingxi would not make too many promises before the award was officially announced.

Hearing this answer, Li Shuo was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. "Theoretically, you should have at least a 90% chance of winning now."

Without Joanna, the only one who could compete with her was Anita Brown - in Li Shuo's opinion, her performance was barely enough to even get a nomination.

When an actor with distinct personal traits encounters a role that does not suit his temperament, the result is bound to be disastrous.

"Maybe, but all I can think of right now are the endless unexpected factors - like Robert Bob suddenly becoming the President of the United States or something like that."

Su Lingxi shrugged and made a humorous joke.

Li Shuo sighed, "That's good. I mean, no matter how we really feel, we should try to act relaxed."

It is easy to say the word "easy", but it is difficult to actually do it.

Li Shuo still remembers vividly how he felt the night he first won the Golden Man.

I am eager to get this honor, but I am also worried that I will miss it due to other factors; I want to fight for the Chinese people in international awards, but I am afraid that the result will make my fellow countrymen more disappointed...

All the complicated emotions intertwined together were like a mountain, pressing him so hard that he could hardly breathe.

It is a feeling that will never be forgotten.

Perhaps because of the experience of living a second life, Su Lingxi was not as nervous as Li Shuo thought.

Before the grand prize ceremony officially kicked off, she leisurely enjoyed several interlude performances.

It wasn't until the veteran black actress and the first black actress to win an Oscar, Halle Berry, walked onto the stage that she finally felt a few ripples in her heart.

A minute ago, Edward Collins, who won the Best Actor award, just walked off the stage.

Now, Halle Berry, wearing a blue dress, obviously came to the scene as the presenter of the Best Actress Award.

What was the organizer's intention in inviting Berry to be the award presenter?

Could it be because of her?

Because they wanted to create a historic moment: the first black actress presenting the award to the first Asian actress?

Or is it just a coincidence?

Su Lingxi unconsciously followed the others in the audience and clapped, but the feeling of anxiety and nervousness in her heart could not be shaken off.
