Chapter 1476 1476 Heart Is Burning
Al's bar was very lively today, which is a very rare thing for a rock-based bar, because there is nothing noteworthy for rock tonight, this night belongs to the Oscars. But today's Al Bar is full of people, and the whole bar is full of people.
Meredith-Morris shouted loudly, "Quiet, everyone quiet! The presenters are out!" This earth-shattering shout made the noisy bar suddenly quiet, only to see all the familiar faces around, Melalyn Dixon, Kayla Kerr, Joshua Cranston, Liam Pinkman, Eli Casvey all got together.
Apparently, after cheering on Hugo on the red carpet, the young volcanoes knew that they could not enter the venue to cheer for Hugo, so they gathered at the Al Bar to enjoy this beautiful night together.
Meredith involuntarily held Melelyn's right hand, the muscles all over his body tightened, and "nervous" was clearly written all over his face. However, Merelyn was not much better at this time. She also held Meredith's hands with backhands and tightly closed them. The swarming air around her seemed to tighten.
Although they both firmly believed that Hugo would win, and they had no doubt that the statue should belong to Hugo, everything was still unknown until Jessica Lange announced the result, which made their minds The adrenaline burst out in an instant, igniting a fiery flame in his brain.
Everyone in the bar didn't speak any more, even the beer in their hands was quietly placed on the table, only the thumping heartbeat slammed chaotically and violently in the tranquility of the late night, the rhythm of the heart beating was all over the place. People are all connected, making them a community, each pair of eyes fixed on the TV screen, trying to burn a hole in the TV screen, lest I blink a little and miss the wonderful moment.
In an instant, the Al bar congealed.
The liveliness of the Taylor family has subsided at this time, and even the most mischievous Jack III raised his head and stared at the screen motionlessly. In fact, he was already tired at this time and kept rubbing his sore eyes. Little Jack came over to shoot He patted his son on the shoulder, "You should go to bed, Teresa is already asleep." Little Jack pointed to his daughter, who was sleeping peacefully in his wife's arms, and whispered to his son.
Jack III closed his open mouth, avoiding the danger of saliva sliding down directly, and tried his best to widen his eyes, "Dad, can't I go to bed after watching this for a while? Uncle Hugo is about to take the stage. ..." Having said that, Jack III glanced at the picture on the TV screen, "Look, Uncle Hugo!"
Little Jack couldn't help but cast his gaze in the past. At this time, he was introducing the list of nominees. Hugo was on the screen.
What came out as the nomination screen was Hugo's last scene in "Death Ramble", where he was tied to the execution platform and gave his last words, those deafening words. But there is no part of Hugo's lines in the picture, just quietly looking at the camera.
This made little Jack stand up straight, and Michelle, who was holding her daughter and was about to leave, also stopped and turned to look at the TV screen.
Those amber eyes looked forward calmly like this, with a thin layer of water mist covering them, making his eyes look like a clear and transparent spring, but in the depths of this spring. , but there are countless emotions surging: bitterness, sadness, pain, fear, relief... The mixed emotions are gently rippling in the bottom of his eyes, and the slightly trembling corners of his lips reveal the turbulence in his heart that is completely different from the surface. His body was fixed by the five flowers, and he couldn't move at all, but his muscles were shaking uncontrollably, as if they were spasms. The slight shaking made people easily feel his fear. A deep-rooted despair erupted suddenly.
It is such a shot, without any dialogue, without any lines, and without any screen movement, it is such a simple and extremely simple shot, but it makes every audience feel the trembling in the depths of their souls.
"Dad, I'm afraid." Jack III hugged his father's calf, which made little Jack wake up. Only then did he realize that his eyes had actually started to burst into tears. He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes in a panic, bent down, The son hugged him and said softly, "Don't worry, this is just Uncle Hugo performing."
However, the performance that awakens the soul is so shocking.
"Let him stay, it's not a few minutes anyway." Old Jack said, but he just said a word, and then he fell silent.
Old Jack could feel his heart beating violently against his chest, and the crazy speed made him almost unable to breathe, but he knew that, compared to him, Adam was the one who was really nervous. Old Jack tilted his head and looked over, and saw that Adam was rigid in the rocking chair, his muscles were completely tense, like a zombie.
Adam can feel his whole body trembling slightly at this time - just like Hugo on the screen, but, he is not afraid or fear, but nervous, which makes him a little at a loss, he never likes this feeling , but cannot be controlled. Adam took out the cigarette case from his pocket in a panic, and tried to take a cigarette out of it, but his fingertips were shaking violently. After three consecutive attempts, he couldn't take out the cigarette, which made Adam violently take out the cigarette case. It was thrown directly to the ground, and the cigarettes inside spilled out.
Adam slapped his thigh angrily, hoping that his thigh muscles could calm down. The sudden pain calmed him down a bit, and he hurriedly looked at the big screen again, but the sudden tension made him unable to help it. Stop breathing.
Adam knows better than anyone what happened during the filming of "Death Row", and he is more eager than anyone for Hugo to win this award. If his son misses this opportunity, he will not be disappointed, because he knows Hugo Better than anyone, ten times better than those competitors, but he will be angry, angry than anyone.
However, tonight Hugo first missed the Best Supporting Actor Award, and then missed the Best Original Screenplay Award. This poor record has gradually cooled down the Taylor family and the boiling of Al's Bar, and all the surging hopes have been swept away. The blows are extinguished again and again, and at the same time, the inner tension is more urgent, and the air is more tense. It seems that if you hold on for one more second, it will all explode.
Compared to the people outside, the atmosphere in Dorothy Chandler Hall was truly tense at this time. Everyone held their breaths involuntarily. It seemed that a slight cough would ignite sparks in the air, causing the whole body to breathe. The site was in ruins.
Brad's back was soaked with sweat, and he was even more nervous than when the Best Supporting Actor was revealed, his beating heart nearly popping out of his throat. Brad is destined to not win the award tonight, and he naturally does not want Hugo to win the award. As long as Hugo does not win the award tonight, then they are still tied, and the next development is still unknown, then he still Can have strong confidence...
Gwyneth didn't care about Brad at all, and she kept praying in her heart: as long as it wasn't Hugo, as long as it wasn't Hugo... Thinking of this, the urgency that swept inside made Gwyneth nervous. She squeezed Brad's arm tightly, and because Brad was also in complete tension, he didn't realize that Gwyneth just kept pushing harder and harder.
Nicholas felt like he was going to vomit. Even though Jessica Lange was still talking on the stage, he felt that the voices of the whole world began to distort, as if in a different time and space, even though he was almost all day today. He hadn't eaten, but the tumbling stomach still made him cramp, but the muscles that were tensed to the extreme were stiff, and the intense conflict made him feel like he was about to explode.
The sound of the heart hitting his chest was so powerful, so violent, that Nicholas suspected that the heart would burst through the wall in the next second, which made him have to grab the back of the chair, otherwise he didn't know if he would be like a lunatic Stand up and run. Nicholas felt that his ass seemed to be on fire. He wanted to stand up, rush towards the stage, and snatched the golden statue that should belong to him from Jessica. He only felt that the temperature of his ass was getting more and more. Tall, higher and higher, the distance between him and the little golden man is getting closer and closer...
His mouth was dry, his heart was pounding, and his heart was burning. Hugo felt that his blood had begun to boil. The tension that was slowly brewing seemed to have reached its limit at this moment, as if it would explode directly at any moment. In general, the blue veins behind the ears began to beat wildly, and the agitating temples seemed to be unable to support the pressure soon, which forced Hugo to straighten his whole body, as if he was being pulled to the limit. Bow and Arrow - Give a little more strength and the bow and arrow will break.
It turned out that he was still so greedy after all, and he was still so eager after all. When Chaos's brain was tense to the extreme, Hugo woke up instead. But even so, his brain still couldn't control his body, he could only sit still stiffly and stare blankly at the stage.
Suddenly, a cold touch came from his left hand. Hugo's numb left hand could feel someone tap him gently. Hugo twisted his stiff neck, looked over, and saw Charlize. Those slender fingertips. Looking up slowly along the hand, Hugo saw Charlize's cheek with a playful smile, as if saying, "It's your turn to be nervous..."
This sarcastic smile made Hugo laugh, because he also realized his embarrassment, even worse than Charlize just now, and he has been nominated for the third time in a row this year. The corners of the stiff mouth gently sketched a smile, allowing Hugo to relax slowly, slowly...
"The winner of the 68th Academy Award for Best Actor is..." Jessica's voice came from the stage.
