"Best Picture Nominated, Platoon, Hannah and Her Sisters, A Room with a View, God's Children..."

Ronald, Niceta, and Richard's two agents sat together in the CAA office to watch the nominations being announced.

"How many nominations have these movies received? It's very concentrated?"

"The field platoon has been nominated for eight categories, and they are all five major awards." Richard took a form and recorded it.

"The best directors also include Oliver Stone, Woody Allen, and David Lynch who directed Blue Velvet."

"How can this old pervert be nominated?" Ronald was not too surprised that a movie that purely reflected the bad nature of human nature and included a large-scale nude scene of his girlfriend Isabella Rossellini could be nominated for Best Director.

understand.

"Film critics like his mystique very much." Niceta said the reason. Some film critics are not only qualified to vote, but also drive the aesthetic trend in the industry.

"Best Actor for Paul Newman for his role in Money, William Hurt for his role in Children of God, and James Wood for his role as Salvador."

"Oliver Stone received important nominations for both of his films?" Ronald was deeply envious. The film reflecting the war in El Salvador was also written and directed by him.

"Best Actress nominees include Sissy Spacek, Jane Fonda, Katharine Turner for Peggy Sue's Getting Married, and Sigourney Weaver for Alien. The last nominee is

Marie Matlin, who plays the deaf girl..."

"The competition for Best Actress this year is very fierce... there are two who have won Best Actress, and two who have been nominated."

Ronald was happy for his friend Cameron. His movie finally received a nomination for the five major awards (Best Picture, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Actor and Actor).

However, it was my turn to be miserable. Only the theme songs of two movies, "Take My Breath Away" by Top Gun and "Glory of Love" by "The Kid 2", received two mediocre nominations.

.

As for the other films I have participated in, Crocodile Dundee won the Best Original Screenplay, but the others failed. Even the technical awards such as makeup, special effects, and editing were not nominated.

"Paula..." Niceta was calling her wife, and her client Tom Cruise didn't fare well either.

Needless to say about the leading actor of "Top Gun", there is no way those members of the Screen Actors Guild would vote for a young bastard who played shirtless volleyball on the beach and argued in the bathroom wearing a towel.

Even "The Color of Money" co-starring with Paul Newman, which he had high hopes for, was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor.

This was an insurance measure that he discussed with Paula and other agents. In order to increase the probability of nomination, he did not select the leading actor, but selected a supporting actor with less fierce competition.

The result? It was really bad luck. The two actors in "Platoon", Tom Bellinger and Willem Dafoe, were both nominated for Best Supporting Actor, which was a double success.

In particular, Tom Bellinger was one of the candidates for the leading actor role in "Top Gun". He gave up popcorn movies to play an arrogant sergeant in the Vietnam War. Sure enough, he also received the expected nomination in the awards.

This project also includes British actor Michael Caine, who plays "Hannah," and Dennis Hopper, who plays a supporting role in the basketball movie "The Big Boss."

These are all veteran actors who have been famous in the film industry since the 1960s. Tom Cruise could not compete and did not receive a nomination.

"Tom was very frustrated... He said he wanted to continue working with famous directors."

Niceta told Ronald about the situation there. After learning that he had not been nominated for an Oscar, Tom Cruise seemed to be a little out of his mind and started screaming hysterically at home.

Fortunately, his girlfriend, Mimi Rogers, was there and immediately comforted him and gave him a Scientology audit machine to audit him until he calmed down.

"Is this nomination so important to him?" Ronald was a little puzzled. Tom Cruise does not need Oscar recognition, and he is definitely the next generation of leading male stars.

"It's very important to him, and he needs recognition from an award." Niceta knew what Cruise was worried about. In fact, technically speaking, given Cruise's status, he could have hired professionals to solve the impact of alexia on him.

What's more important is the psychological aspect. He is particularly eager for recognition of his acting skills from the outside world, especially professionals.

Ronald was not too obsessed with awards. Anyway, he was making exploitation films, so he had no hope from the beginning.

…

"Tom, Tom...can you say a few words about not being nominated for an Oscar?"

"I have nothing to say, the judges have their own standards." Tom Cruise was coming out of Scientology's technical center with his girlfriend Mimi.

Mimi said that there, there were more professional Scientology executives who would audit him and let him understand the real reason why he was not selected for the Oscar. As expected, he was hypnotized by David Miscavige, the successor appointed by the founder.

And with counseling, Cruise has become much calmer.

"Tom Bellinger said that he was nominated because his movie Platoon was anti-war, and your Top Gun was pro-military. What do you think about that?"

This issue irritated Cruise again, and he gained substantial profits but lost the award.

Tom Cruise turned around and looked at the reporter, took off his sunglasses, "I'm anti-war too!"

"Ah..." The reporters found that Cruise seemed to have a deep feeling about this award.

"Tom, what you're saying is that you regret taking part in Director Ronald's Top Gun and want to take part in Oliver Stone's Platoon?"

"No, I didn't say that. As an individual, I also hold an anti-war stance."

"So will you ever do a movie that supports the military in the future? Like a Top Gun sequel?"

"No, no, I have always supported the anti-war stance. This movie is about heroes, not support for war..."

Seeing that Tom was aroused and a little angry, Mimi Rogers quickly came up and pulled Tom into the car.

"Tom Cruise said that he does not plan to make a Top Gun sequel because of anti-war reasons... CBS Los Angeles TV station reports for you."

The next day, Ronald was watching TV at home and unexpectedly discovered that the media was reporting that Cruise unexpectedly stated that he was not prepared to participate in the sequel to Top Gun.

"Does he regret it? He would rather star in an anti-war film like Platoon, which was nominated for an Oscar." Chris Columbus, a young director who was visiting Ronald, pointed out to Ronald bluntly when he saw this.

Ruth's tendencies.

"It cannot be analyzed so simply. Platoon is actually a very complex story, based on Oliver Stone's own experience in Vietnam.

It is difficult to say that this is an anti-war or pro-military movie. There are also villains in the US military such as Sergeant Barnes played by Bellinger, and there are also people with a sense of justice such as Sergeant Elias played by Willem Dafoe.

Good people.

Besides, who doesn’t want to win an Oscar?”

Ronald was excusing Cruise, but he actually had a grudge in his heart. What's the point? Although he couldn't give him a Best Actor nomination, he had the star status that actors like Bellinger couldn't dream of, and Wan

Loved by thousands of fans.

It's hard to say whether Bellinger would want to trade with Cruise if he had the chance.

Ring ring ring ring…

I remember the phone ringing.

"Ronald? This is Tom. I'm calling you to say sorry. I originally wanted to come by myself, but Mimi said it's not convenient for me to go out now. It would be even more troublesome if reporters saw me.

That interview was when I was in a bad mood and the reporter chased me and asked, so I just blurted it out. I didn't mean anything else.

Mimi said that I need to go to Scientology's technical center to do more audits, so that these alien creatures... In short, it is to resolve the negative emotions. When things calm down, I will come to apologize to you again."

Ronald felt a lot more comfortable, and Cruise still respected him.

"It doesn't matter, you are a big star now and very busy. We will have a chance to go to Paula and Rick's place and chat again."
