America: Child stars start with The Shining

Charles didn't have a strong impression of this year's Academy Awards, and he hadn't paid much attention to the news reports before he arrived.

The host this time is a famous comedian, Johnny Carson, who rose to fame as the host of NBC's late-night talk show "The Tonight Show." His style is humorous and sophisticated, and his ability to control the show is top-notch.

For some reason, the Oscars seem to have a particular fondness for having comedians host the event.

It's probably because they're so needed in these kinds of situations; they're needed to liven up the atmosphere.

Otherwise, an awards ceremony that can easily last for hours can easily become tedious and long-winded, which is exactly what comedians are best at controlling.

And there's another advantage: they can openly throw out a few barbed jokes in celebrity-filled settings.

Of course, this job isn't always pleasant; if a joke goes too far, it can easily cause trouble.

For example, Chris Rock got slapped in the face on stage in front of everyone.

But no matter what, the Oscars have always maintained this tradition, ultimately because it is more conducive to television broadcast ratings.

Thinking of this, the name David Letterman suddenly flashed through Charles's mind.

He caused quite a stir when he tried to take over the hosting position on "The Tonight Show" after Johnny Carson retired.

This could give Ovitz more time to keep an eye out; there might be a chance to sign them.

The awards ceremony went very smoothly, and Kramer vs. Kramer was undoubtedly the biggest winner, whose name could be heard from time to time in Shire’s seat.

This film deals with family conflicts, focusing on marital relationships and kinship clashes. The subject matter is serious and realistic, almost perfectly aligning with the current Oscar preferences.

So it's no surprise that it received so many nominations and awards.

Soon, it was time to announce the winner of tonight's Best Actor award.

The award was presented by Jane Fonda, a highly experienced actress who won the Academy Award for Best Actress twice, in 1972 and 1978.

Moreover, she comes from a family of actors; her father is also an Oscar-winning actor, the kind of actor most favored by the Academy.

Jane Fonda stood in the center of the stage and calmly introduced the resumes of several nominated male actors and their performances in the film, including Al Pacino.

Unfortunately, this was destined not to be a night for him.

After all, the film that truly earned him the Oscar for Best Actor, *Scent of a Woman*, hasn't appeared yet.

Finally, Jane Fonda concluded her rather lengthy nomination review.

She stood in front of the microphone, slowly opened the confidential envelope, paused deliberately for a few seconds, and revealed a meaningful smile, whetting the audience's appetite.

Charles was already used to these little tricks, and he actually already knew who the winner would be tonight...

Jane Fonda slowly uttered that name:

"Congratulations to Dustin Hoffman, 'Kramer vs. Kramer'!"

A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. Dustin first stood up and hugged the crew members around him, and then walked onto the stage under everyone's gaze.

He looked extremely excited. After thirteen years as an actor, this was the first time he had truly touched upon the Oscar for Best Actor, an honor that all actors dream of.

Dustin stood in front of the microphone, took his Oscar statuette from Jane Fonda, and began to speak:

"Thank you... Wow, I want to thank my parents for not practicing birth control, which allowed me to be born and have the opportunity to receive it."

It was a very typical American humor, but it worked surprisingly well in this situation, and the audience burst into laughter.

"I'm filled with mixed emotions right now because I've always been critical of the college, but I still feel incredibly honored..."

Charles started to drift off at this point, not because what the other person was saying was too boring, but because of the glowing Oscar statuette.

【Title: Oscar Statulet - Best Actor (Legendary)】

[Attribute: You don't need these.]

[Entry: Absolute Acting Skills (Passive)]

[Effect Description: You are the character, and the character is you. You can master any character, express any emotion, and be the protagonist in every scene.]

[Requirement: Become an Oscar-winning actor.]

[Note: It never bestows greatness; it only certifies it.]

Charles's gaze lingered on those few lines of text for a long time, and he didn't even listen to what Dustin said afterward.

This is the goal that all Hollywood actors are willing to strive for their entire lives.

The stat effects associated with this equipment are absolutely worthy of a legendary rating.

Charles took a deep breath, his gaze burning. He was not yet qualified to touch the trophy.

But one day, he will stand on that stage.

At this point, Dustin's acceptance speech was also coming to an end:

"When we stand here, sometimes it's to thank certain people, but when making a film, there are many people who have never stood on this stage before. But I think I should thank these people more, because they are a part of my life."

"There are no losers here, and I'm proud to tell you that. Thank you."

After a while, Charles suddenly noticed that Spielberg had left his seat at some point.

Jennifer, who was sitting next to him, had actually fallen asleep leaning back in her chair because she was so bored.

Xia Dun was startled and quickly reached out to pat her shoulder.

If this scene were captured by the media, it would definitely anger the Oscar judges, even if they were still children.

Those old fogies care most about these superficial things.

The main reason why Leonardo DiCaprio failed to win an Oscar for Best Actor for so many years was that he was too flamboyant when he was young. He didn't even bother to come and be nominated, showing no respect to the judges.

As a result, he began to regret it when he got older, and finally won the Oscar for Best Actor in 2016 for "The Revenant".

Jennifer rubbed her eyes, still half asleep, and asked:

"Ciel, what stage are we at now? Can we go home now?"

Charles turned his head slightly, leaned close to her ear, and whispered:

"It's almost over, so please don't fall asleep again."

Spielberg had already walked onto the stage; he was the presenter for the Best Director award.

With films like "Jaws" and "Close Encounters of the Third Kind," he is now one of Hollywood's most sought-after up-and-coming directors.

Unsurprisingly, both Best Director and Best Picture were awarded to "Kramer vs. Kramer".

Thus, the awards ceremony tonight finally came to a close, and Charles and Jennifer rose together to leave.

However, just as he was about to leave, a man suddenly blocked his way.

Charles paused, his steps faltering, and then he frowned.
