Ian was wearing the customized suit and was inside his car driving to the grand hall of Oscar, but he was stuck in the traffic. He had four hours before it started, and it would take him at least two hours to get there.
The stylist who did Ian's hair and make-up, made his hair to suit his looks; his straight hair was neatly combed back and was away from his face, revealing his sharp facial features. In addition, the slight amount of make-up made Ian look as handsome as ever.
With his black suit and tie that suited the shiny black dress shoes he was wearing, Ian was more than ready to seize the day.
After around three hours of struggle and pain in the traffic, he finally reached his destination. The Raw Theater.
He got out of the car and gave the key to the valet.
[...] Ian was able to spot Mason, who was dressed in a Charcoal Gray suit, and looked so pleased when Ian first saw him. Looking left and right, Ian saw so many actors, actresses, and directors dressed in all sorts of clothes.
Singers, artists, production crew members, and almost every person in Hollywood who was loved by fans were present at the occasion.
Ian had a smile plastered on his face, noticing the thirty-something cameras that were in front of him. The red carpet sure could increase the nerves of people, some were visibly nervous and some others were enjoying their time due to their experience from all the times they have already been there.
"Hopeful for any awards, son?" Mason asked.
"The chances are high, but the top four studios would hit it considering the connections with the Jury, the music genre awards and the screenplay doesn't sound impossible," Ian muttered quickly yet kept his composure straight.
If Ian won the award for the best screenplay, he would be the youngest recipient of it. And that would be enough as the final nail in the coffin for his plan to be seen as a genius. It mainly means his plans for the last two years would be successful.
"Ian Renner," Leon White appeared out of the blue.
"Good to see you again, and here," Ian said with a smile.
"Congrats on the nominations," Leon said and patted Ian's elbow.
"Sir, Can you turn?" A reporter asked while Leon and Ian were talking.
"Oh yeah, excuse me," Leon said and walked away.
So many stars were present and Ian walked toward the camera noticing people were looking at him.
"We are the center and the first, of all the action making sure that YOU don't miss a single moment. It all happens tonight and we got you covered. Happy Oscar Sunday everybody!"
A black girl, who had her hair tightly combed on the top of her hair, with a long one-piece dress that fit her perfectly, said to the camera. She walked toward Ian with a huge smile.
"Ian Renner, an interview please?" She asked with a smile.
Ian nodded with confidence and walked straight in front of the camera.
"We have Ian Renner here, who has six… Yes, six nominations for the Oscars this year. Considering you walked into the industry two years ago, do you have anything to say?"
"I'm very happy to be here. As a newbie in the industry, compared to everyone else, I consider this quite a success. La La Land was the movie out of the two I released that got nominated. And, considering this was the first time a musical hit it high in the industry within such a short time, I feel content. I hope everyone enjoyed it," Ian said and smiled.
"Ian, a minute?" Another man who wore a classic black suit came towards Ian.
Ian nodded and faced the camera again.
"What do you think of tonight? How would you think the awards would go to the nominations that La La Land got?" He questioned and extended the blue mic at Ian.
"Tonight looks promising as ever. La La Land had been nominated for six awards of different kinds, and yes, I have hopes," Ian said with a slight chuckle.
"What is your aspiration in the industry, Ian?" The reporter asked.
"Nothing small," Ian said and the guy laughed with Ian. "I honestly want to bring something to Hollywood that is rare and things that can leave its mark for ages,"
"Tell us a bit about Eloise, she was here today looking stunning, what is the relationship that you both have?"
"Haha.." Ian laughed and looked the guy direct in the eyes. "We are friends, that is it. She is a talented actress, what more can we even have? Thank you," Ian said, patted the guy's back, and walked away.
"Ian Renner, sir a word about the night," Another person approached him.
Every other actor and actress was busy with the same thing. Answering people with the mics and focusing their eyes on the camera with a smile plastered on their faces.
"Tonight looks lovely, happy to see people here. And yes, hopes are up there for the nominations La La Land received," Ian said and walked away.
After a while, they were ushered inside to the step and repeated the backdrop. Where pictures were taken of every artist, actor, actress, or any other popular person in Hollywood. These photographs normally got a lot of exposure on social media.
Many celebrities focus on their award ceremony-look to face these pictures.
Ian met Eloise, Mason, Ryan, Bale, and Adam who waited to walk forward to the front of the camera.
Eloise looked spectacularly stunning. Her amaranth dress gown made her appear like a princess. Every little detail on the dress looked magnificently beautiful. The make-up made her appear even more pretty, with the red lipstick and evenly beautiful overall appearance.
"Ian Renner, go in," A staff member who was dressed in another suit said and Ian walked in front of the cameras.
"Hey! Look this way"
"Hello sir, Turn to the right!"
"That's right! Hello Hello!"
"Left a bit!"
"Walk over there!"
"Smile!"
Ian stood in front of them and kept giving a slight smile. His hands were placed on the suit and he turned from left to right giving different poses.
In a minute or two, he was done and out of the step and repeated the backdrop.
"You were looking great, even more, handsome than me," Ryan walked after his chance and laughed with Ian.
"Sir, one more with the crew," Another woman said, asking Ian to go back and pose with Ryan and everyone else.
The number of lights that went off was uncountable. With different voices, Ian had to look here and there yet his posture remained unchanged.
Ian felt as if that was one hectic moment once he got inside the hall. He always had a love-hate relationship with the public. As much as he wanted to publicize what he did and everything else, he did not like how every little detail would be in the hands of the general public in no time once he was in front of the camera.
Alexa and Mason went inside as soon as they saw some more media reporters with cameras walking briskly toward them. Ian, Eloise, Ryan, and Adam stood right where they were.
"Hello sir, a quick interview with everyone in one frame?" Another reporter asked.
"Yeah, sure,"
"Tonight is beautiful, isn't it. Ian, what do you feel after all the successful movie attempts hit it big and now you are here for some nominations for the musical movie you made, La La Land?"
"It feels great. The love of the people for Eloise and Ryan had increased over time and I'm sure even they are feeling great,"
The mic was passed to Eloise, then Ryan.
"It was such a great opportunity Ian offered me, and I smell success considering where we are right now," Eloise said with a smile.
"I agree with her, I mean, all the hard work paid off, I hope you enjoy the night," Ryan said, handing the mic back.
"Adam here is the lead of Home Alone. But today he is here not for any Home Alone nominations. But because he was nominated as the Highest Valued Child Actor representing the movie, June. Which got very popular and is competitive in the awards today,"
"Yeah, about Adam. He is a lovely kid. But in my opinion, it must be very tiring to be a young actor and keep up with everything. The normalness we experienced is out of his life, but I hope he is enjoying what he does, right Adam?"
Ian said while the mic was passed to Adam.
"Ian is right, I feel great today," Adam said while handing the mic back over. He smiled at the camera confidently and did not hesitate with his words.
"Good luck and I hope you win some," The reporter said.
They smiled, thanked them, and walked away to go inside the theatre.
[...]
"Look at these clouds– I mean Stars! Making my eyes go blind and life feels fine,"
A well-known actress with a huge smile entered the stage. Everyone clapped and welcomed her. The dramatic appearance was something you had to get used to if it was about the Oscars.
She wore a suit, which gave off a great impression of her. Being all classy and modern, she looked elegant.
"Look at all those faces, waiting for us to say something. This must be the first day that Vincent is waiting for an actress to talk first,"
The crowd burst into a fit of laughter and the cameras focused on Vincent's face.
"Can we talk about the new director, Ian over there?" Another girl wearing a mini dress came onto the stage.
"Not really, who is that?"
Everyone laughed at it. The traditional roasts thus began.
