Before the Oscars, the biggest favorites in the Best Supporting Actress category were Lynn Redgrave of "Gods and the Beast" and Casey Bates of "Rising Wind". The former won the Golden Globe and the latter won. American Screen Actors Guild Award. Please search (品@书¥网) to see the most complete! The two most recent novels are both actors born in the 1940s. They have been in Hollywood for more than 30 years, and both have won several Oscar nominations. Not only are they hardworking, they are also recognized as old dramas in the industry.

Among the five candidates, Rachel Griffith, who is "Lonely Than Fireworks", is only 30 years old, and is about the same age as Nicole Kidman of Truman's World-she is three years old this year. Eleven years old. However, Rachel’s voice was obviously weak. She was not even able to be nominated for the Golden Globes and the Screen Actors Guild Award, while Nicole received all the nominations throughout the awards season, but always accompany her.

Although the best supporting actress in previous years always likes to award new actresses, the situation is different this year. Not only are Lynn and Casey more than fifty years old, there is also an alternate, Judy Dench, who is 63 years old. Therefore, it is generally believed that the award will be produced among the three veterans.

There is no doubt about Judy’s legend. She was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1970 and was named the Dame of the British Empire in 1988-naturally because of her great contribution to the stage and the film industry. So people always call her "Sir Dench" affectionately.

Judy played only eight minutes in "Shakespeare in Love", but his performance was really wonderful. However, at the beginning of the awards season, almost no one thought that the best supporting actress should be awarded to Judy-not that she did not perform well, but that the performances of Lynn and Casey were not inferior, and more worthy of praise, the quality of the work Compared to "Shakespeare in Love", it is almost the same. Therefore, Lynn aspired to the Golden Globe Award, and Casey dominated the Screen Actors Guild Award.

Almost everyone believes that the Oscar statuette will be produced between Lynn and Casey.

But Robin Williams announced another answer, "Judy Dench, "Shakespeare in Love"."

In an instant, everyone was stunned, but just stunned for a while, the first applause appeared-no one noticed that Harvey Weinstein was the first to stand up, and then all the audience Everyone stood up and applauded, expressing their admiration and admiration for Sir Dench with practical actions!

Isn't Judy worthy of this little golden man? No, obviously not. The scale of the collective standing of all the audience proves that she is definitely not a dark horse, which is what she deserves. However, this result is still a huge accident. Almost everyone is optimistic about Lynn or Casey, but Judy has achieved a counterattack, which is really incredible.

Hugo stood up, and Tom Cruise and his wife also stood up. Nicole tried to maintain an elegant and decent smile on her face. After all, she hadn't received anything throughout the awards season. The nomination has proved her strength, but she has not been able to win the award. It is really frustrating. At this time, she is still hiding between her eyebrows. With a touch of loss.

Tom and Hugo exchanged sights, and then Hugo turned his head and saw a similar sight in Steven's eyes. Their eyes all had the same meaning: "Shakespeare in love".

Compared to Judy's award, the success behind the scenes of "Shakespeare in Love" is the most eye-catching. No wonder the Weinstein Brotherhood felt that the winner was in their hands. They almost overturned Lynn and Casey in one of the most unlikely projects, allowing Judy to succeed. This makes the direction of the next awards ceremony full of countless suspense.

If the best supporting actress department was just an "accident", and Judy's outstanding strength made her final victory also convincing enough, then the best supporting actor department broke out a shocking upset, indicating that Tonight will definitely not be peaceful.

The five actors shortlisted for the best supporting actor competition are James Cobain from "Misery", Robert Duvall from "The Forbidden Truth", Ed Harris from "Trumen's World", and "Shakespeare in Love" Jeffrey Rush, Billy Bob Thornton.

Among the five candidates, the three actors, Robert, Ed and Jeffrey, are outstanding, their works are of strong quality, and the overall momentum stands out.

Relatively speaking, Billy was also the **** role throughout the awards season. He received a lot of nominations, but never won an award; and James Cobain’s finalist was considered a big upset because of the "suffering" work. Even more outstanding is the male protagonist Nick Knott. James was not nominated in the Golden Globes, the Screen Actors Guild and other important towns. As a result, when his name appeared in the nomination list, everyone was in an uproar—at the same time It is also the first acting nomination for James in his 40-year career.

Therefore, almost everyone focused on Robert, Ed and Jeffrey.

Objectively speaking, Jeffrey's performance in "Shakespeare in Love" was quite satisfactory, without too many highlights. He relied more on the strong momentum of the whole movie to be selected as a finalist. What's more, he just won the Oscar just two years ago. The actor, it is far from now when he wins the prize again. Therefore, the competition is mainly between Robert and Ed.

Robert was selected for the Screen Actors Guild Award, and Ed was the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Both of them can be regarded as actors with rave reviews in the industry, their strengths are similar, and their reputations are also very close. Robert is the winner of the fifty-sixth Oscar, but 15 years have passed so far, so the choice between Ed and Robert is still a difficult choice.

However, when Charlize Theron opened the envelope as the award-presenting guest, he could hardly conceal his pause when he saw the answer. Although his expression did not change much, Hugo could feel that this was not the result he had imagined. Sure enough, Charlize announced the final winner, "James Cobain, ‘Misery’."

It is no exaggeration to say that the audience was in an uproar. Even if everyone knows that being shortlisted means that there is a possibility of winning, but hearing this result, it is still difficult to control the inner turbulence.

Cranes and clams fight, the fisherman gains. This is the only thought in everyone's heart. Who can predict that Ed and Robert's thin ice showdown will eventually lead to James-the first nomination and the first award. An Oscar figurine unexpectedly became the most important coordinate in James’s forty-year actor journey. What’s ridiculous is that the movie "Misery" was not visible throughout the awards season, and it was stunned by countless people. People ignore.

Although Hugo knew it was wrong to think this way, he still couldn't control to think: Did the Weinstein brothers push it behind the scenes? Since Jeffrey had no hope of winning, did they push James up when people were hesitant and unable to make a decision?

Hugo knows that this idea is absurd and nonsense, but in the award season later there is a saying: among the five candidates, if the gap between the first and second leaders is too small, they will fight each other. More than that, the judges are often unable to make a decision when voting, so they simply choose the third place. Therefore, it often happens that the top seed and the second favorite both lose the election, and the third candidate wins.

Therefore, Hugo has no way to control his own speculation, even if he knows that he is a villain in the belly of a gentleman, even if he knows that James, who is 70 years old this year, has won this award is his glory... …

Regardless of whether Hugo's idea is correct or not, it is undeniable that "Trumen's World" missed the start tonight and passed the first award. "Shakespeare's Love" and "Misery" each won a golden figure, which opened the grand overture of the 71st Oscar.

However, the trend of the next award ceremony sounded the alarm. Every detail indicates that the confidence of the Weinstein brothers is definitely not groundless, and the trajectory of history seems to be moving fast in the direction that Hugo is familiar with. It can't be contained at all.

In the competition for the best art direction award, strong opponents such as "Elizabeth" and "Saving Private Ryan" failed to prevent "Shakespeare in Love" from picking up tonight's second figurine.

Although in the competition for the best makeup award, "Elizabeth" relied on the heaviness and splendor of history to defeat "Shakespeare in Love" and "Saving Private Ryan" and included the Little Golden Man in the bag; but it was awarded right away. The Best Costume Design Award, the most popular "Elizabeth" and "Velvet. Goldmine" did not win, but once again witnessed the strength of "Shakespeare Love History" and witnessed Sandy. -Powell (Sandy. Powell) came to the stage to receive the award.

Only one-third after the award ceremony, "Shakespeare in Love" continued its strong nomination stage and harvested three of the five nominating departments in one fell swoop The outstanding performance is enough to meet Last year's "Titanic" was comparable. What is even more frightening is that among these many departments, "Saving Private Ryan" can be said to be retreating steadily, and there is almost no force to fight back. This situation, I am afraid that no one can predict it, even the Weinstein brothers did not imagine: the effect will be so good.

The Oscar judges sitting in Dorothy Chandler's hall couldn't help but start to raise countless question marks: Where did "Saving Private Ryan" go? Where did "Trumen's World" go? Where did the "thin red line" and "beautiful life" go? Why did "Shakespeare in Love" complete the sweep? What exactly is going on? Wait...what did you choose on your voting card?

This seemingly similar but inexplicable hazy feeling gave many judges an ominous premonition.

Is the Oscars ceremony tonight really going to witness the summit of "Shakespeare in Love", just like last year's "Titanic"? Why did this image come to my mind not because of a sense of proud participation, but because I was inexplicably guilty, and I didn't even dare to look at the eyes of other colleagues around me? This feeling is not good, it is really bad.

Looking at the stage, Bob lightly patted the back of Gwyneth's hand, showing a calm smile, and whispered, "Look, I told you."
