the shy Director

It was at the academy awards of 2010, and I was suprizenly nominated for best director for the movie Star Space. It was my first time there at the awards, so I was trying hard to assimilate with the crowd, and hoped not to be noticed by anyone at the ceremony. As we waited for the show to start, I could see that all of the other stars were being lionized by their fans, posing for pictures and writing autographs for everybody, and as for me, an unknown movie maker, with nobody but myself, had nobody to talk to.

I am really shy, so you could tell that I didn’t want much attention, and I tried meticulously not to be noticed by anybody at the red carpet, not even the other actors. A few moments later, they began to start, and all of us began to head towards the door, all excited for this wonderful event, all except myself, who was trying to hide in between the big happy crowd.

As I entered, I was amazed. The room was enormous, the stage was all blue and shiny with glitter, all illuminated with colorful lights, the stairs all painted in white with three big huge screens telling you that this was the 82^nd academy awards and that you were there to see it. The stars then began sitting down on these amazing confortable chairs waiting for the hosts to give the first Oscar and to start, the academy awards.

The time had passed by and there were lots of movies that I thought really deserved the Oscar, but some in witch me and many people would make a dissension on. After a few more winners had passed, I knew that the best director award was going to be next, and I was really nervous about it, but then I was even more nervous when Jeff bridges, who was sitting right next to me, wanted to start a little conversation.

“Hey aren’t you the director for the movie Star Space?” Jeff said

I knew from that point I had to say something so I answered “umm,y y y yes, why?”

“wow man” he said, “that movie was great, you put a lot of work into it, l think you have what it takes to win that Oscar” he said with a smile on his face, and quickly went back to watching the show.

I was a bit startled to have been given a complement  by a well-known actor, but soon the commercials were over and it was time for the best Director award. The screen first  began showing the mini trailers for the nominated movies. When it was almost over, I decided I couldn’t take much of the suspense and went out to go hide in the bathroom until it was over. Halfway to the exit door, I heard a name, I stopped and slightly turned around to see who the lucky winner was, but then I saw something I was never expected to see in my entire life, it was In big letters, showing it to all of the most famous stars, my name, on all of the three big screens on stage.

The light shined on me and I ran to the stage, leaving all my worries and frights behind. Up on stage, with my hands grasping on the Oscar, I looked at the crowd and thank everyone I knew and everyone from the movie, with no worries, and no feeling of being nervous. From that moment, I Knew I would never be shy again. And now I know that dream comes true. I’m the winner!

How it happend

during World War 2, me and my fellow comrades were waiting for our general to come up with a conspiracy to attack the Nazi base. We were waiting for hours and hours, and still no plan. The general had gone into a small room where usually the other leaders would go to talk and make other plans, but this time he went in alone. He had then told us to wait outside while he worked silently in private, and later on, tell us his plan. We apprehended what he was trying to say and let him do his work.

A few moments later, one of my fellow comrades had gotten worried about our general taking a long time, and decided to go check on him, I too had gotten worried, so I followed him into the room. Inside the room was something that put me and my comrade both in the state of shock, it was a body lying on the middle of the room, the body of our leader.

 We then decided to call on a medic. the medic came in the room and checked his body for about half an hour, and had told us that our leader had suffered a heart attack and was now dead. At first, we were all in the state of anarchy, and didn’t know what do to next without our general and his plan, but luckily, I had found the plan on top of the table, and surprisingly, it was finished. We then fought for our general in battle using the plan, and after a few months, we had won. at his funeral my comrades and I were all proud for having this wonderful man as our general.
