For Your Consideration Page #9

- So am I dancing?

Yeah, exactly.

All right, cool. Right there.

Let go a little bit.

That's what we gonna do.

That's what I'm talking about, chillaxing.

Let go even more.

- Let go even more. More.

- More?

- Absolutely.

- I'm a sandwich, huh?

- Just have a good time. That's what it is.

- All right, Victor!

- Yeah, right there.

- Home for Thanksgiving.

Some love for him right now.

Victor, right now, letting go.

Well, the countdown

to Awards season has begun.

The nominations will be announced

in just two days.

And once again, we have to rely on

Chuck and Cindy's crystal ball...

...to give us the inside track

on this year's favorites.

Yes. We will gaze into the crystal ball...

...and tell you who we see

as our nomination picks.

Nice accent, incidentally.

Cindy, who do you see for Best Actor?

Well, I see two faces appearing, Chuck.

Ben Connelly

for Whispers in the Attic...

...and Victor Allan Miller

for Home for Thanksgiving.

Who do you see

for Best Actress, Chuck?

I see Louise Mayer for the classy,

big-budget musical, Dream Alley.

And there seems to be two other faces

fighting for recognition.

Marilyn Hack and Callie Webb.

Both for Home for Thanksgiving.

Yeah, well, I'll tell you what.

Tomorrow night, the Best Supporting

Actor and Actress category.

- But right now...

- I see a commercial in the future.

And I'm feeling a lot better

about my accent.

Guess who. Hi.

Hi.

Hi, darling.

Do you believe this?

Do you believe any of it?

It's too exciting. How do you feel?

- I feel good.

- Oh, yes.

I don't see anything wrong with both of us

being nominated. Don't see why not.

I'm sure it's been done before,

don't you think?

I mean, after tomorrow,

I won't talk to you, but...

- Marilyn?

- Yes, it's exciting.

It's exciting, isn't it?

Yeah.

I'm so-- I'm very happy for you.

I'm happy for you too, Marilyn.

I haven't seen Brian here,

my other little baby.

- We split up.

- You did not.

- Yeah.

- Tell me you're kidding.

- Yeah, it's--

- That's awful.

Hello, blondie.

Are you a natural blond?

Oh, no. All of it

is really brown and curly.

Mixing business with pleasure.

My pleasure.

Yeah.

Do you like restaurants? You like wine.

Do you like restaurants?

- They're okay.

- Yeah.

Do you wanna go to a restaurant?

Maybe.

What sort do you like?

I like...

..."latesion"? Lesion?

Lesion, that's a-- That's like a wound.

No, it's Latin restaurants...

- ...but I don't know what the word is.

- Latin?

Latin restaurants.

You mean, like, Mexican or...?

No, Latin. The people that speak Latin.

I need this to calm my nerves.

- I'm not gonna sleep tonight.

- It's so exciting.

I'm a peeled nerve. I'm just--

I'm all jitters. I can hardly...

I think Marilyn is very deserving,

but I think Callie is equally...

...as deserving of an award.

She's wonderful,

but it's an early celebration.

I don't think she's quite ripened yet.

But you know what? I have to tell you

that when I was a very little girl...

...my daddy would say to me,

he said, you know:

"Never let them see you sweat."

And I think that the voters

can smell the fear. It's like dogs.

They know that she's hungry.

No, but you know what? I'm sorry.

Dying is easy.

Playing a lesbian is hard.

Oh, please. Marilyn Hack is the queen

and tomorrow, there will be a coronation.

There was a thousand queens

on that set.

- And you know that.

- Your point is?

Oh, come on. There's a ton of queens.

It's been a good experience

for everybody. I mean, you know...

...this is the last bargain-basement deal

you get out of this guy.

You know?

We now have to be more discerning.

We're not gonna just take

any commercial that comes our way.

- We're not gonna take any.

- We're not gonna take any.

Gentlemen, c'est a.

Now, if I may go out on a--

- Jesus, don't touch me.

- Sorry.

Corey, what is it, Pioneer Days

at Moorpark this weekend?

Certified degree of Indian blood.

It's on my wall, kemo.

Mr. Miller, I presume you will be

watching the nominations...

...this morning at 5 a.m.

on your television set.

Well, I would, except for the fact

that I don't own a television.

- Has no TV. Yeah.

- I'd be happy to telephone you.

Call me, Taft, and I will call him. Okay?

- We're having a meeting.

- Got you.

Could you step back, physically?

- Yep. I'm going to go sit in my car.

- Thank you.

Hello.

Hello, everybody.

Come around.

Come on. Okay.

Okay:

Okay. Thanks.

When the enchanting Whitney Brown

first came into my office...

...I realized I was in

for a very special encounter.

And when I actually got around

to reading the coverage...

...I realized I had in my mitts a story...

...the likes of which

I had not seen before.

Which goes to show...

...the suits aren't always the wankers

they're made out to be.

Hear, hear.

So with that in mind...

...I would like to propose a toast...

...to the future nominees

for Home for Thanksgiving.

The future nominees.

Home for Thanksgiving.

Home for Thanksgiving.

The backup, however,

remains northbound at Costa Mesa.

In Hollywood, traffic on the 101

is running smoothly in both directions...

...through the Cahuenga Pass

and into downtown L.A.

That is your early drive-time report...

...and now we head back

to our KAJE coverage...

...of the nominations from the Academy.

And now the nominations

for Best Actress in a Motion Picture.

Veronica Randolph

in Whispers in the Attic.

Cynthia Chapman

in Pride of Plymouth Rock.

- Okay, say it.

- Sally Ann Middleton...

- ...in Whispers in the Attic.

- Say it now.

Louise Mayer in Dream Alley.

And Monique LeBlanc

in Le Cheval Obscurit.

Dark Horse.

The nominations for Best Actor

in a Motion Picture are...

...Ben Connelly in Whispers in the Attic.

Marilyn Hack.

- Jose Mercado in Crystal Lake.

- Just...

Just say Marilyn Hack.

- William Montague...

- It's so easy.

...in Tomorrow Never Sleeps.

Hi, this is Brian,

please leave me a message.

Brian? Brian, it's Corey.

Corey Taft and Associates.

Congratulations, my young friend.

You have achieved a nomination.

That is very exciting news

for a young actor...

Good evening America, and anyone else

who can understand the king's English.

Well, the nominations are in

and there are surprises galore.

Well, I'll tell you what, Chuck.

Once again, the voters have spoken.

And it seems that sentiment alone

will not get you that coveted golden statue.

And because there were so many surprises,

Cindy, I thought to myself...

...instead of hearing the usual drivel

from the glowing nominees...

...what could be more

fun than hearing...

...what the devastatingly disappointed

losers had to say this morning?

Well, I guess it all depends on what

your definition of fun is, Chuck.

Fun is where you find it.

We had our roving cameras on the losers

first thing this morning...

...and here's what they had to say.

Hi, Callie. Chuck Porter...

...Hollywood Now. Scrunch over. I thought
