Standing on the side stage, Hugo looked at the stage that was re-opening the noisy prelude, but his vision was a little blank.

Regardless of the outcome of tonight, whether "Titanic" continues its historical trajectory to complete its dominance, or "L.A. Confidential" has successfully overturned the strongest cruise ship in history, but the era of blockbuster movies led by computer special effects has arrived unstoppably Up. Hugo clearly knows that ten or fifteen years later, the big screens will be bombarded by these commercial blockbusters. Correspondingly, people are more and more aware of the importance of scripts, but excellent scripts and excellent screenwriters Fewer and fewer.

Although Hugo knows that this is the inevitable result of the development of the film industry, even without his participation, the result is still the same; although Hugo also knows that as an independent individual, his influence can hardly shake the development trajectory of the entire industry even if he is large. Not the savior, let alone the center of the universe, not everything is related to his little butterfly; but now Hugo is still thinking inevitably, there are more or less behind "Independence Day" and "Titanic" His participation, then what role does he play in the torrent of history?

He is not the savior, he has no responsibility or ability to change the trajectory of the wheel of history, but he is one of them, an important one-especially after becoming a member of the decision-making stratum of DreamWorks, so the galloping horses In the torrent of history, he can no longer stay out of the way.

Gently shook the little golden man in the handshake, Hugo's eyes became firm again, the heavy smoke lingering in his heart disappeared, and the smile at the corner of his mouth rose slightly again. That confidence and calmness, reflecting the golden light of the trophy, made the surrounding darkness slowly recede.

The award ceremony is still going on. The two awards of the script department belonged to "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect". This result cannot be said to be unexpected-because the results of the awards of the American Screenwriters Guild are like this, on the contrary, it can be said that it is a choice that completely conforms to the hearts of the people. But this made the follow-up direction of tonight's awards ceremony suddenly produce huge uncertainty.

"Perfect" won the best original screenplay award, not only making Hugo the second artist in film history to include the screenwriter and actor Jinren in the bag, but also allowing "Perfect" to win the first trophy and return to it. Competition ranks. So far, among the five nominated works for Best Picture. "Titanic" took the lead with ten trophies, followed by the three "L.A. Confidential" statuettes. "Perfect", "Mind Catcher" and "Six Heroes of the Pig" each won a trophy, except for "Light The "Six Heroes of the Pig" won the award for the best soundtrack for a musical comedy category. The awards for the other four works are full of weight, so the suspense has not diminished, but with the progress of the awards ceremony, it has become more and more confusing.

The next three heavyweight personal trophies for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Director will greatly determine whether the suspense can continue, because "Titanic" has won in all three departments. Nomination, if this work is the first to grab any trophy in the three departments, it can announce the end of suspense in advance.

The first to appear is Jeffrey Rush (.rush). The veteran actor won an award last year for his outstanding performance in "Shining Demeanor", and he took the stage to present the Best Actress Award.

Judging from the nomination list, "Mrs. Brown" Judy Dench and "Perfect" Helen Hunt are the biggest winners. These two people are the winners of the Golden Globes in the drama category and the musical comedy category not long ago, especially Judy, who is 63 years old this year. Whether it is a contribution to the entertainment industry or the performance of this work, It is praised that winning the prize can be said to be a matter of course.

Kate Winslet of "Titanic" is only 22 years old. And the performance in this work is also slightly inferior, but no one can ignore the energy of this big ship. The finalists have the strength to win the prize-the previous sweep of the technical department directly proves this point.

In the end, Jeffrey announced the answer. He just won the first trophy tonight in the Best Original Screenplay department. Helen won the whole show with the humorous but ridiculous, simple and elegant performances in the movie. There was a lot of applause from Hollywood film critics, and words of praise were endless, and finally succeeded in standing out on the night of the Oscars, and the first nomination was successfully won the statuette!

Although this is only the first nomination for Helen's Oscar, her award can be said to be well-deserved. Even Judy had to express admiration and sent her blessings with a standing ovation.

Standing on the stage, Helen looked a little excited, her slightly flushed eyes easily leaked her inner confusion, "...Uh, I think I need to thank the screenwriter of this work, Mr. Lancaster. Thank you for giving. Thanks for my chance to play this role, and thank you for your willingness to listen to my stupid views on acting. This may not be the best moment in my life, but it is the most memorable moment in my life.” As he spoke, Helen’s eyes The tears fell, but she did not cry, instead she laughed. With this smile, the tears slipped faster, making everyone feel the slight acidity in the heart of the earth.

Following this is the Best Actor Award. In any year, the competition for this award is one of the most intense sectors. This year is no exception. Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman The head-on collision with the three actor Hugo Lancaster was full of sparks, coupled with the participation of two newcomers Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio-the former is the best male harvester A strong newcomer nominated for the lead and best original screenplay, the latter had already been nominated for an Oscar for best supporting actor four years ago.

It can be said that the topicality of the five nominees has reached an unprecedented height. At this moment, the number of viewers watching the Oscars in the United States has soared to 59 million, constantly refreshing the record tonight. Attention can be clearly felt even across a small screen.

In addition, four of the five best film candidates have joined the final duel, and the intensity can be said to be unprecedented. Similar to the pattern of Best Actress, the drama actor and musical comedy actor of the Golden Globe Awards are the biggest winners. People generally think that this will be a duel between Hugo and Jack before the awards ceremony. The difference for the best actress is that the other three candidates are stronger and the gap is weaker.

Jack’s last award dates back to 14 years ago, when he relied on his "mother and daughter love"-also "perfect" director James-l-Brooks' work-won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor Award , And after that, Jack won three more nominations-including "Yihai Xiongfeng" cooperating with Hugo, but none of them won the award.

Compared to Dustin, Jack is undoubtedly more productive and more active in recent years. After Dustin won his second Oscar winner by relying on "Rain Man" nine years ago, in the following period of time he was never nominated again, and this time the nominated work "As a Hero" "-Barry Levinson, also from the "Rain Man" director-is still a little bit hot enough, a little less powerful.

In addition, Matt, who was nominated by "Mind Catcher", and Leonardo, who was nominated by "Titanic", are typical movies that are larger than the actors. The script of the former is the most brilliant part. Matt's performance is completely affected. Robin’s demeanor is suppressed; the latter needless to say, the overall movie is the most magnificent existence, and James Cameron is the real winner as the director.

Relatively speaking, Hugo's performance in "L.A. Confidential" is not only stunning, but also fully integrated with the story, and even played a significant role in promoting the story. From the actors, from the script, from the film as a whole, this is a work that has achieved perfect integration. This also makes Hugo the biggest competitor of Jack.

However, the biggest disadvantage of Hugo is that he last won only two years ago, and he has won the best original screenplay tonight. The crisis of voting cannot be underestimated. More importantly, "Perfect and Perfect" almost gave Jack a perfect stage for presentation, allowing him to fully utilize his advantages; but "L.A. Confidential" gave Hugo very limited space, even though Hugo performed brilliantly. But the momentum fell short.

But even so, people still look forward to: if... just if, if Hugo wins the actor's figurine again? So what incredible record will Hugo create! The two youngest winners in film history, the first actor in film history to win the actor and screenwriter awards at the same awards ceremony, and the first actor in film history to win four Golden Man trophies equal to Catherine Hepburn’s trophies... …

Although this is just thinking about , it is enough to make everyone excited, not to mention the strong momentum of "L.A. Confidential" tonight. Therefore, even if we know that Hugo's disadvantages are more obvious, even if we know that the confrontation between Jack and Hugo is absolutely not tolerant of any blemishes, people still hold great expectations.

Hugo, who returned to his seat, has calmed down. It is not that he has no desire for this trophy, but that he has just experienced emotional ups and downs, but now he has calmed down. The nervousness and excitement are in his blood. Quietly settled down.

Turning his head, Hugo saw Jack with a calm face, but Jack tilted his head and glanced at Hugo. Those smiley eyes revealed the tension in his heart at the moment. The tightness that leaked out made me laugh. . Jack also blinked his right eye at Hugo, seeming to say, "Prepare to congratulate me."

This made the corners of Hugo's mouth lightly outline.

Leonardo, who was sitting on the other side, lowered his eyes slightly at this time, and the emotions in his eyes were mixed and shrouded in a shadow, which was elusive. Before Hugo had time to explore, the award-presenting guest Francis McDomond stepped onto the stage. (To be continued)
