Chapter 1156 1156 Choose One Out of Four

Whoever wins the award will create a history, and such a pattern is rare even at the Oscars.

If Tom Hanks wins, he will be the second best actor in film history; if Morgan Freeman wins, he will be the second black actor in film history; if Paul Newman wins, then he will be Henry - Fonda (Henry. Fonda) second-oldest actor; if Hugo - Lancaster wins, then he will be the first actor in movie history under the age of 30.

All this makes the direction of the best actor the biggest attraction tonight.

Holly-Hunter is one of the representatives of "The Curse of the Golden Man". After she won the Oscar after winning the Golden Man after relying on "Piano Love" last year, her career fell into a low ebb, and no new works came out for a whole year. It wasn't long ago that she confirmed her latest project: She will join Robert Downey Jr. in Jodie Foster's second film, "Home. For. The. Holidays."

From this choice, it can be seen that Hawley is at a loss. Choosing a commercial movie can't find a suitable script and a suitable price, and choosing an art movie is difficult to achieve a breakthrough beyond "Piano Love". After hesitating again and again, she chose. Cast: Trust Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr.

It can be said that Hawley disappeared from the public for almost a whole year, and if it weren't for the Oscars again, people would almost forget the amazing actress who won last year's awards ceremony. However, after Hawley took the stage tonight, she easily became the focus of everyone's attention, because the envelope in her hand was worth a thousand gold!

"In the past year, we have enjoyed the wonderful performances of many male actors, including senior and intelligent gentlemen, and energetic young guys..." Hawley's voice was trembling slightly, she was not good at talking. , and the process of slowly entering silence from the peak in the past year has kept her away from the spotlight. At this time, the hot lights on the stage made her very uncomfortable.

But Hawley's nervousness didn't help, because the eyes of the audience were locked on her, including countless viewers on the TV, their eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the broadcast camera and projected directly on Hawley's body. Li's skin could feel the constant pressure of the hot factor.

The layman is waiting for the announcement of the best actor, and then infers the direction of the final award; the layman is looking forward to who among the five powerhouses can stand out and make history.

The tense atmosphere made the air tense. Just when the big screen started to play the waiting list, Hawley realized that he had forgotten this link, "I almost opened the envelope in advance, I was really excited." This action caused the scene to laugh softly, "Nominees for Best Actor at the 67th Academy Awards are...Morgan Freeman, 'The Shawshank Redemption'..."

Sitting under the stage, Hugo's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry, and the surrounding silence became heavier in Hawley's dry voice, and he could clearly hear the slow but heavy beating of his heart, "Bang. Bang! Bang!" The ground slammed into the chest, causing the blood vessels to start beating, and the muscles involved in the whole body tightened.

In fact, Hugo felt that he was not nervous.

At least compared to last year, Hugo's brain was very clear at this time, and he didn't have any complicated and nervous emotions. He knew where he was, where the awards ceremony was going, and what the announcement of the awards would represent. Hugo even had the leisure to watch the expressions of the other nominees on the big screen.

Morgan sat on the spot with no expression on his face, his eyes full of wisdom hidden in his eyes, making people unpredictable; Paul's mouth had a shallow smile, which made people clearly feel his calmness and comfort. The indifference is unmatched by others; Nigel's tension is far more than expected, and although he tries to keep a smile, the muscles below his chin are completely tense, and he can even see the neck. The veins are slowly emerging.

Hugo watched with interest the highlights of the nominees, and the nominees' expressions on the big screen through the camera lens, and analyzed their expressions with relish in his head. So, Hugo is really not nervous.

But the head and the body seemed to be separated. The burst of adrenaline made Hugo's body stiff, and the sobriety of the head kept his consciousness calm. Therefore, Hugo had a very strange feeling, as if he had left his body, watching his body sit rigidly on the chair, while he became a bystander with great interest.

So, is this stressful or not?

Hugo suddenly burst into laughter in his mind. Perhaps, he was still nervous. When he learned that he might make history, when he learned that the history he knew might be changed, that kind of inexplicable feeling. The nervousness was still firmly in control of his body.

However, at least he has improved over last year, a little more leisurely, isn't he? Hugo thought optimistically, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The camera immediately found Tom Hanks, with the familiar indifferent smile on his face, just like his gentle and friendly image on the big screen. However, Hugo, who was sitting next door, could still feel that Tom's body was fully supported and maintained in a stiff and weird posture. The chair could feel the huge pressure from Tom, and then passed it on to Hugo. .

In the face of making history, even Tom is no exception. Hugo came back to his mind and thought of Morgan and Paul. Maybe only Paul can be completely detached, not only because he won the Golden Man after the honorary award and achieved success; but also because he has experienced too many cycles of nomination and defeat before, and that indifference is repeated again and again. What settles down after a setback is not something that you can control if you want to control it.

While thinking, Hugo appeared on the big screen.

When Hugo saw his slightly unnatural expression and completely stiff shoulders, he couldn't help laughing. The curvature of the corners of his mouth rose unexpectedly, which made him look much more relaxed. The audience even blew their whistle one after another, and the scene was very lively.

Before Hugo could react, the short film of the nominees was played, and the camera returned to Hawley. She shrugged lightly, "Let's reveal the answer together." Hawley lowered his head and opened his hand. The envelope, took out the card inside and glanced at it, his eyes opened slightly, as if a little surprised.

Whoever the answer is, though, should come as a surprise, because the winner came out on top after beating four other -- or three formidable competitors. The problem of choosing one out of four is more difficult than choosing one out of five in any previous year. Everyone has their own answers in their hearts, but they are not sure whether other people's ideas can be figured out with their own.

"The winner of the 67th Academy Award for Best Actor is..." Hawley said this, took a deep breath, and glanced down at the card again, as if to confirm that he was not dazzled.

Suddenly, Hugo came back to his senses. He finally regained control of his body and let out a long breath involuntarily. His heart, which was still beating slowly and heavily, suddenly began to speed up, which made him feel a little wet in the palm of his hand. , the always awake and calm brain also got rid of all distracting thoughts, and all attention was focused on the stage.

"Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump'."

Hawley announced the answer, and the entire sacred auditorium fell into deadly silence, but it was only blank for less than half a second, and then thunderous applause broke out.

History is born! Tom Hanks became the second actor in Oscar history to win the Best Actor Award. He relied on a solid, simple, delicate yet profound performance to accomplish this feat! From "Philadelphia Story" to "Forrest Gump", this actor who does not have any advantage in appearance relies on his own efforts to become the first North American actor in one fell swoop.

Maybe this time Hugo was really not so nervous. When he heard the tone of "Tom", he had already reacted: the historical trajectory still failed to create a miracle, Tom still successfully won the best actor, and he regretted it with himself. The first actor, the golden man, passed by.

Hugo sighed softly, saying that it must be a lie to say that he was not disappointed. Hugo could feel the sense of loss as his heart rose high and then fell heavily, and there was a subtle sense of emptiness in his chest. But the smile on the corner of his mouth was quickly drawn, and it was sincere. Because Hugo knows that Tom's victory is well deserved and there is no controversy. As for him, he is still young, he is still studying, struggling and working hard. He believes that he will have countless opportunities to prove himself in the future, not for Xiaojin People, just to be a really good actor - of course, getting the accolade of the golden man is the icing on the cake.

Therefore, Hugo smiled relievedly. He became the first person to stand up and applaud. He led all the audience to stand up and applaud, and paid Tom a high respect.

Tom didn't seem to react, his movements slowed for a full three beats, and then his expression suddenly dawned, as if the fact that "I won the award" had only hit his heart until now.

His wife Rita Wilson (Rita. Wilson), who was sitting on Tom's left, gave her husband a passionate kiss and then hugged him hard. Only then did Tom slowly stand up, and his consciousness finally returned to his brain. He looked around and gave Hugo a hug with open arms. Hugo said to Tom, "You're amazing!"

Tom let go of Hugo, with a bright smile on his face, simple and honest but not ostentatious, but not exaggerated in joy. Afterwards, Tom hugged the rest of the "Forrest Gump" crew separately before taking to the stage.

Hugo was staring at Tom, but he felt someone hug him gently. When he looked back, he saw Cameron's bright smile. Cameron stood on tiptoe and shouted in Hugo's ear. Speaking of, "You are my hero!" The simple sentence made Hugo's heart warm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.

Raising his head, Hugo saw Samuel, Quentin and the others standing beside them. They applauded and gave Hugo a thumbs up. Quentin even shouted, "Man, you are the best. Great!"

There is always only one winner, but there is never just one winner.
