February 29.

The mass shooting in San Diego didn't happen long ago.

In California, many people have already forgotten.

However, this day, which only comes around once every four years, is quite special.

This year's awarding ceremony was long planned for this day.

So, even if the shooting happened in Los Angeles, the ceremony must go on as scheduled.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the 76th Oscar ceremony is now starting!"

The host, Billy Christopher, announced the start of this year's Oscars with a big smile.

He is a well-known comedian across All America, having hosted the Oscars many times, and is quite experienced.

The Oscars have always liked inviting comedians to host.

They're more humorous, able to bring the mood to life.

Christopher is a veteran comedian; he can basically make others laugh with just his words.

Americans have a relatively low humor threshold. It seems a change in tone can make everyone laugh.

And such a comedian, he... well, he did alright without mentioning the San Diego incident.

After all, it was another city's matter.

He's still a comedian, and not mentioning it might be a smart move.

Thus, laughter filled the audience.

As if the mass shooting in the neighboring city didn't exist at all.

Thankfully, when someone went on stage to present an award, they mentioned it briefly.

Just saying, we're with the citizens of San Diego City.

Roughly that sort of statement.

And whenever this is said, applause follows.

Some guests even wipe away tears.

Yes, it's truly touching.

They're wearing suits averaging twenty thousand US Dollars each, with actresses' dresses even pricier.

And upon hearing about the harm to civilians, they too are heartbroken and tearful.

What's there to say about this?

Such philanthropic individuals!

Nicole Kidman watched this scene, clapping along, but couldn't help ridiculing inwardly.

Hypocrites!

The Master is the true God.

He's resisting those Mexican drug lords!

Indeed, Zhou Mo Sen previously mentioned his involvement with this incident.

Thus, Zhou Mo Sen is certainly on the righteous side.

He's defending against the Mexicans' attacks.

If not, those Old Mo's would bring more drugs to the United States.

Poisoning more Americans!

Thank you, Master!

You are the one and only!

The more Nicole Kidman thought about it, the more subtle changes appeared in her expression.

A feeling of disdain and unwillingness to mix with the crowd.

Naturally, this small change would go unnoticed by most people.

Most guests were attracted by the host's jokes.

But one person captured this.

The Oscar ceremony continued, first announcing the smaller awards.

This year, there was a blockbuster movie that had already secured the Best Picture Oscar without even being announced.

That would be The Lord of the Rings 3!

This movie, as the concluding part of The Lord of the Rings series, is truly outstanding.

An absolute epic blockbuster.

At least for this year, there's unquestionably no movie that can compete with it.

However, while the Best Picture award is uncontested, other awards are still up for grabs.

Especially as the Oscars have a tradition.

Usually, such special effects blockbusters rarely win Best Actor or Best Actress awards.

Most are technical awards.

And so it goes.

The first awards announced were mostly technical ones.

Almost all went to The Lord of the Rings 3.

Thus, many people's minds became active.

Best Supporting Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Actor, Best Actress—there seems to be a good chance!

Hollywood is a vanity fair.

People here strive for fame and fortune.

Fame and fortune, with fame first.

This detail is crucial.

Winning an award means gaining fame, and with fame comes greater fortune.

Yet, tonight, one actress has transcended this pettiness.

And that's Nicole Kidman.

"The 76th Oscar for Best Actress... Charlize Theron! For Female Demon!"

Wow oh oh!

The South African Beauty Diamond crowns herself!

Applause resounded throughout the venue.

This actress has truly faced many hardships along her journey.

Friends who frequently buy Playboy magazines must have recognized her early on.

But regardless, her efforts are evident to all.

In the film Female Demon, she destroyed her image and portrayed a female demon extremely realistically.

If not her for this Oscar Best Actress, then who?

She had already won Best Actress at the Golden Globe Awards previously.

And now the Oscar.

It's undeniable that Charlize Theron is destined to be a top Hollywood actress in the future!

Many people cast eyes of envy upon her, filled with jealousy and even hatred.

Of course, the envy and hatred mostly came from the female stars present.

Hollywood's vanity fair is like this; they exchange pleasantries on the surface but deep down...

They would love to cut each other's throats.

However, there was one person who was very different.

"Congratulations! Haha..."

Nicole Kidman, with a pure smile, displayed immense grace.

Understandably, she is also a strong contender for the Best Actress this year.

Cold Mountain, this film is indeed an American political blockbuster, discussing the Civil War.

It fully demonstrated that the Northern victory was a historical trend.

Nicole, as the leading actress, actually had a great chance of crowning herself.

Unfortunately, she also lost at the Golden Globe Awards previously.

Additionally, Renée Zellweger took the Best Supporting Actress.

Nicole was left empty-handed, according to Hollywood logic.

She should be deeply jealous of Charlize Theron now.

But now, look at her smile.

So sincere!

Even Charlize Theron was quite surprised.

When they hugged, Theron even apologized several times.

Yet Nicole was extremely magnanimous.

"It was all destined."

Huh?

What does this mean?

Theron was inexplicably curious, and her mind raced with thoughts.

Naturally, the South African Beauty Diamond didn't know yet.

Nicole Kidman's behavior was entirely because of a doctor.

Interestingly enough, appearing at the banquet.

"Hey, Nicole, your lipstick is amazing today."

"Really?"

"Absolutely!"

Such flattery is very common at Oscar banquets.

But today it's a bit different.

"This lipstick shade is quite rare, and I tried it thanks to Ivan Mc's recommendation."

Hmm?

The shade is indeed rare, but Ivan Mc...

"Is it her latest beauty brand release?"

"Exactly! Released alongside Dr. Zhou."

"Wow! Dr. Zhou is the most famous plastic surgeon in All America right now."

"Of course, his medical skills are amazing!"

How did it come to Zhou Mo Sen?

Interestingly, once it started, it didn't stop.

Nicole Kidman quickly became the center among many female celebrities!

The reason was simple, what girl doesn't love beauty?

Especially Hollywood actresses.

They pursue beauty almost neurotically!

And it's not just female stars.

Male stars love beauty too!

Even if they're not joining the conversation, they'll chat about Zhou Mo Sen.

So, at the Oscar banquet.

Even though Dr. Zhou Mo Sen wasn't present, he seemed omnipresent!

Thus... when the banquet ended.

South African Beauty Diamond Charlize Theron actually sought out Nicole Kidman.

"Nicole, you seem close to Dr. Zhou Mo Sen, and I... you know, the damage to my skin and overall condition from filming was severe."

Indeed, though Charlize Theron has recovered about 80%, it's still visibly evident.

To crown herself at the Oscars, she sacrificed greatly, her face unlikely to return to its peak.

Nicole Kidman smiled and nodded, "I understand, but Dr. Zhou is quite busy, if you want to meet him..."

"Please, I beg you..."

Charlize Theron was admittedly very sincere.

Reluctantly agreed to help her.

However, what Nicole Kidman pondered was...

Perhaps the Master's cult might just expand again.

...

Los Angeles was celebrating, while San Diego seemed to be licking its wounds alone.

At a tavern, someone was watching TV.

A whiskey-filled glass remained untouched.

Then, an Asian man walked in.

Patted the man's shoulder.

"After killing so many people, does your heart feel any better?"
