In a business club in Beverly Hills, many academy members were gathered internally for a private meeting. Apart from old-timers like Warren Beatty, who held positions in the academy, some veteran members had also come over.
These people all had one thing in common.
White, male, over 60 years old.
Warren Beatty found Nicholson and asked, "Heard you've been up to some nonsense lately?"
Annette Bening deliberately teased him, "Jack, you've led astray the two most promising young people in the circle."
"That's not true, I didn't lead them astray." Nicholson didn't want to carry the blame, "It's those two bastards who led me astray, okay!"
Warren Beatty thought back to his younger days, "I still remember the three of us, you, me, and Marlon, turning Sunset Boulevard into a place that never slept, and in the blink of an eye, we've aged."
