Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 676 - 489: Best Actress_2

To the left was the "Hugo" crew; Director Allen, upon seeing Director Martin Scorsese, happily chatted non-stop, and Link also talked to Jude Law from the crew for a bit.

To the right was the "The Artist" crew; Harvey, in a black suit, sat in the center, chatting with a large group of actors and directors and was quite popular.

Harvey glanced over when he saw him come in and let out a neither light nor heavy snort.

Link ignored him and sat down to wait for the award ceremony to start, but in the meantime, he was approached for a chat by people like Emma Stone, Brad Pitt and his wife, Christine Wiig, and Christian Bale.

At 5:30 p.m., the Oscars officially began. The first awards handed out were several technical categories, with "Hugo" taking home five Oscars, including Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound Editing, Best Sound Mixing, and Best Visual Effects.

"The Help" only won Best Costume Design, while "The Artist" got Best Original Score, and "The Iron Lady" won Best Makeup. Best Foreign Language Film was taken by the Iranian director's "A Separation".

Then came the key part of the award ceremony. "Midnight in Paris" first won the Best Original Screenplay award. Woody Allen went on stage to accept and rambled on, even making fun of Link for never winning an acting award and suggesting he try screenwriting instead, which might earn him an award, drawing laughter from the audience.

Best Supporting Actor went to veteran actor Christopher Plummer, at 83 years old, who played in films like "The Thorn Birds," "Insider," "Beginners," and was one of the golden supporting actors in the film industry.

Best Supporting Actress was won by the black actress Octavia Spencer from "The Help."

Among the five nominees for Best Supporting Actress, two were from "The Help," one from "Bridesmaids," and Marion Cotillard from "Midnight in Paris."

It was a battle among their own.

Best Director was won by "The Artist" director Michel Hazanavicius.

Best Actor went to Jean Dujardin from "The Artist."

When Natalie Portman announced Jean Dujardin's win on stage, Brad Pitt and George Clooney couldn't conceal their disappointment.

But Harvey Weinstein was stroking his stubbly chin, nodding and smiling contentedly.

Best Actress was won by Jennifer Lawrence, the lead in "Silver Linings Playbook."

As last year's Academy Award-winning Actor Colin Firth announced 'Jennifer Lawrence,' there were gasps from the audience, and everyone incredulously looked towards Jennifer Lawrence in the red dress in the center.

At only twenty-two years old, or to be precise, 21 years and 121 days, she was a little over a hundred days younger than the previous youngest Actress, Mary Matlin, when she won, setting a new record.

The audience both in the theater and at home were incredulous that Jennifer won, especially because she overcame the veteran actress Meryl Streep, which was considered a 'huge upset' and even colder than Link's previous win as Berlin Film Emperor.

This time, the jurors of the Academy really made people sit up and take notice.

"Motherfucker!!"

When he heard Jennifer Lawrence's name announced as the winner, Harvey Weinstein directly cursed, his face, plump with fat, quickly darkened as he squinted his eyes with muscles around the corners twitching non-stop.

Suddenly, he turned to look at Link, only to see Jennifer Lawrence throw herself into Link's arms without any hesitation, hugging him tightly.

Harvey bit down hard on his back teeth, eyeing the two with murderous intent until someone reminded him that the cameras were in front, which prompted him to forcibly soften his expression, though still glaring at Jennifer Lawrence as she walked up to accept the award.

No one knew whether Jennifer was too excited, or if his glare had an effect, but when she reached the stairs, she accidentally tripped.

"There she goes falling again!"

Link shook his head helplessly; in the original timeline, Jennifer Lawrence had fallen while going to accept her award. This time, despite wearing a fancier short skirt evening gown and Link having reminded her to be careful and not get too excited earlier, she still fell.

When Jennifer was giving her acceptance speech on stage, she was also very excited, openly thanking Link for helping her KO all her opponents and securing this award for her, ending her speech with a loud "I love you, forever" directed at Link.

The scene caused a stir, as Link was a married man, yet Jennifer professed her love so publicly; she was quite bold.

Link covered his forehead, feeling a twinge of embarrassment.

"Your little girlfriend is quite cute,"

Marion Cotillard teased him in a low voice.

Jennifer, probably aware that she'd gone too far, subsequently made a point to thank Director David O. Russell, Bradley Cubo, Catherine, Ms. Mandy, her cousin Clausen, and Ivanka, calling Ivanka the most perfect woman in the world.

"What is this nonsense? What are you doing?"

Director Woody Allen said with a grim expression.

"Jennifer is too excited, talking nonsense; she'll be better next time."

"Next time? Hmph! I don't know how you got her to be the female lead, but her winning an award over Meryl Streep at less than 22 years old and then openly declaring her love for you, a scumbag, on stage—I can assure you the media will tear you two apart tomorrow, and Jennifer should forget about winning awards in the future,"

Director Woody Allen muttered with a sneer.

Link wasn't worried about being attacked by the media, as he had grown used to it, and as for whether Jennifer would have the chance to win an Oscar in the future, it wasn't something to worry about too much.

For an actor, having one Oscar or two doesn't make much of a difference. Besides, after starring in "The Hunger Games" and becoming a blockbuster idol, it would not be easy for her to win another Oscar anytime soon.

After Jennifer stepped down, the award ceremony continued.

Tom Cruise announced that "The Artist" had won this year's Oscar for Best Picture.

"The Artist" also, with Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Original Score, became the biggest winner at this Oscars.

But Harvey Weinstein was not pleased; after the award ceremony ended, he walked up to Link with a sullen face and said coldly, "Don't be smug, this isn't over."

"Oh, what else is there?"

Link asked, puzzled.

"You'll see."

Harvey glared at him and left angrily with his entourage.

Link shook his head; this guy really thought he was the king of Hollywood, expecting everything to be done his way. Such a self-important person didn't deserve much attention.

"Boss, I want an Oscar too,"

Emma Stone approached and said.

"If you want an Oscar, practice your acting more, at least three in the future."

"Do I need acting skills?"

Emma Stone said with a twinkle and a smile, "But I just heard people say that all I need to do to get an Oscar is sleep with you, is that true?"

"Don't talk nonsense, or I'll freeze you out,"

Link pointed at her and walked out of the auditorium.

Emma Stone watched his retreating figure, smiled softly, and hurried to catch up.
