Chapter 857: Cheating with Tricks_2

"I used to think you'd be the sure winner of that bet," Nicholson shook his head, "but seeing Martin's money-making tactics, the main issue is you not stepping up your game. After all these years, you're still frowning, glaring, and raging the same old way, with no improvement at all. Now, I think Martin has a better chance of winning."

Leonardo pointed towards the pool with a sneer, "Jack, do you really think Martin could get an Oscar for Best Director with such a simple horror movie? What a joke of the century."

Nicholson shook his head, "It's not about winning an award or even getting nominated, but you have to understand, this is Martin's first time directing. He's mostly familiarizing himself with the profession, the job. As long as he grasps the essence, and then makes a movie suited for awards, just a little better in quality, with his gimmicks and the increasingly bizarre Oscar selection criteria these years, he might actually snag the Best Director award."
