Hollywood What If Chapter 332

  "By the way, why didn't you invite me to star in your test project? What's it called? Caribbean Pirates? Anyway, why didn't you invite me or sehe script?"

  "The answer is obvious, because you are expeo hire."

  "This time I be an ior."

  "We are doing well. If the budget isn't enough, I'm sure 20th tury Fox will be happy to i in my project."

  Kazir was the most in-demand director and all his films were profitable. Many people would not hesitate to i in his movies.

  "Tch!"

  Tom Cruise clicked his to seemed that he would never get the ake money from Kazir's filmography. Well, he might wi Actor tonight, so it didn't matter.

  Kazir just shrugged ahe little adult mater... Yes, Tom Cruise was only 5'7", while Kazir was 6'2". The height differeweewo was obvious.

  After a brief introdu to the Academy Awards, Steve Martin, the host of this award, made his entrahe people iheater naturally stood up and cpped their hands.

  Steve Martin was a famous edian and had hosted the Academy Awards three times.

  He didn't do a big entrance, he just did his jokes and that was enough to eain the people.

  After that, the segment naturally went to the annou of the winners of the awards.

  The first to be announced was the winner for Best Animated Feature, and the presenter was Cameron Diaz.

  U time, when Cameron Diaz flirted with Kazir, this time the woman was natural and professional.

  Angelina squeezed Kazir's hand for some reason, and the man looked at her a little fused.

  Spirited Away by Hayao Miyazaki won the Best Animated Feature Film. Great anime, by the way.

  Since most of these awards had nothing to do with The Revenant, Kazir and Tom didn't care and just let the show go on.

  Best Supp Actor went to Chris Cooper for his role in Adaptation.

  Catheria-Jones wo Supp Actress for her role in Chicago.

  Then, a few mier, Tom and Kazir got serious because this particur part of the show was important to one of them.

  Halle Berry appeared with an envelope in her hand. She smiled and gave a short speech before announg the list of nominees for Best Actor.

  "Adrien Brody, Nicos Cage, Tom Cruise, Daniel Day-Lewis and Jaicholson. These are the actors nominated for Best Actor Award."

  Kazir's lips were tight as he waited for the result. He khat Adrien Brody had the best ce of winning the Best Actor Award because that was what happened in the inal timeline. In fact, Kazir admitted that Adrien Brody deserved to win the award because his performance was amazing.

  However, he waom Cruise to win because they were friends.

  As for Tom, the actor kept his posure and didn't show any nervousness. He kept his smile on, knowing that a camera oi him, broadcasting his rea live for people to see.

  Halle Berry opehe envelope. The nominated actors' hearts beat faster as they waited for every sed.

  Theress annouhe winner. Halle Berry bit her lip, adding to the excitement.

  "gratutions! Tom Cruise. The Revenant."

  The audieed in appuse, and even Kazir began g vigorously. Tom Cruise took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a sed before standing up.

  He hugged Kazir, Penelope, and Angelina before heading to the stage.

  "Thanks, Kazir."

  "Nah, you deserve it." Kazir patted the actor on the babsp;

  The other actors also cpped and gratuted Tom Cruise on his win. Deep ihey were seething in disappoi for not winning the Award.

  Tom Cruise hugged Halle Berry and then someone handed him the golden statue. Tom raised the small statue in his hand and smiled into the camera.

  "First of all, I want to thank everyone who supported and watched The Revenant. You are the real winners..."

  Tom began his speech. Being a superstar in this industry, Tom Cruise uood that he had to maintain his image. He made sure to choose roles that fit him perfectly without any backsh.

  But it didn't ge the fact that Tom Cruise knew how to act. He was a great actor, he just decided to choose safe roles instead of experimental roles that could destroy his image.

  Still, as an actor, Tom Cruise wao win the golden statue. He tried it three times, but the result was not good.

  This year, Tom found a certain script that caught his i. It was about the feudal era of Japan, around the time when samurais lost their honor... If The Revenant didn't work out, Tom Cruise could try to use this script as another way to get a golden statue... Well, he has already won one now so he might have to take it slow.

  Tom Cruise was not sure if The Revenant and Hugh Gss would be the ao his questions. But he trusted Kazir, he khat the famous director would be his biggest chip at the Oscars.

  And now, he was aowledged as one of best actors in the world.

  Tom was visibly happy and thanked his friends.

  The Academy Awards was a live show and of course there would be a director for the show. The director thought it would be iing to show Nicole Kidman's rea while her ex-husband was talking about his success.

  The camera focused on Nicole and her rea was amazing. Her lips were pursed, clearly not happy. Although her rea only sted a sed before she smiled... Nicole seemed to realize that a camera was rec her. Behind her smile, her two fists crumpled her dress and she shook terribly.

  Acceptance speeches could only st 45 seds, it was a rule that the Academy set and reminded people to follow. So Tom's speech didn't st long before he went backstage.

  Kazir could not help but ugh. Well, at least The Revenant won a major award tonight. It seemed that the members of the Academy were doing their job... He just hoped that something good would also happen to him tonight.
