While we were chatting, the host over there announced the best director award for music and commemorative events, "Ronald Lee, the 62nd Academy Awards."

"Hahaha..." Friends present laughed. Ronald's Oscars ceremony last year broke the ratings record.

"Thank you, I didn't expect that my first Oscar-related director award would be this..." Ronald waved the award certificate in his hand.

Awards were given out one after another, and in the middle and late stages, the Directors Guild Best Director Award was finally handed out.

"The winner of the Best Director Award in the Motion Picture category is..."

Ronald, like everyone else, is looking at Martin Scorsese. His call for an Oscar this year is very high...

"Kevin Costner..."

With a crash, everyone turned their heads and looked at Costner on the other side.

"Thank you all..." Kevin Costner himself may not have expected that he came here as a debut director to enjoy the pleasure of being recognized by his peers in the industry. Unexpectedly, the union actually awarded the award to him.

"I will keep this award certificate well. I need this recognition. Thank you everyone for liking my first theatrical movie..."

There was joy here, but there was silence on Scorsese's side. Coppola was talking to him, seemingly comforting his friend.

Ronald thought for a while but said nothing. After the awards night, he found Scorsese in the parking lot.

"Are you being targeted by someone in the union?" Ronald said straight to the point.

"Hey, it's all damn Jews..." Scorsese said mid-sentence and then retreated.

Ronald knows that there are many eyes and ears. The directors nominated for the Guild Award this year, except for the Jewish Barry Levinson and the Puritan descendant Kevin Costner, are all Italian.

In addition to the two people Ronald knows well, there is also Giuseppe Tornatore, who was born in Palermo. He was nominated for Cinema Paradiso.

Like other professions, the proportion of Jewish directors among directors is not low. Barry Levinson's movie Avalon failed at the box office and received average reviews from critics. So Costner's award is somewhat of a tie-in.

the meaning of.

"Do you think I'm not in tune with the award?" Scorsese lost confidence.
