1963 Chapter 1963 The First Award

Billy Crystal's easy-going yet sarcastic style kicked off the Oscars for his 70th birthday. The first person to step onto the stage was Cooper Gooding Jr., who won the Oscar last year. won the Best Supporting Actor statuette, and this year also became the award presenter for Best Supporting Actress.

When seeing little Cooper, Hugo turned his head and saw Charlize's astonished expression: obviously she didn't expect that the first award was really the Best Supporting Actress award, Charlize saw it out of the corner of her eye Hugo's playful smile, the slightly opened mouth could not help but close again, gritted his teeth fiercely, and gave Hugo a look, but in the end, Hugo turned his head away with a chuckle, leaving only Charlize a back of the head.

Charlize wanted to give Hugo a palm, but when she raised her hand, she found that the palm was completely soaked. As Hugo said, even after experiencing such a process once, it is still difficult to control the tension and anxiety in his heart when facing it again. "This is a moment that I will never get used to."

Charlize took a deep breath to calm her beating heart, then took another deep breath, quietly hiding her nervousness, and looked at Little Cooper.

"Actually, I'm a little unhappy standing here." Little Cooper's humor was also well received. He stepped onto the stage and attracted everyone's attention with just one sentence, "First, my work is not shortlisted for this award." For the first award, I strongly suspect that a certain screenwriter deliberately omitted this part; second, a certain screenwriter refused to appear in his own work, and the rumors all said that I was not happy because I confessed to him and was rejected. I am very unhappy."

The whole scene became a sea of ​​laughter, and Jack, who was sitting next to Hugo, beat Hugo's arm hard, and was overjoyed. Hugo looked at Little Cooper on the stage with a helpless expression on his face. At first he thought that Billy didn't make things difficult for him at the beginning, and he could finally escape today—after all, "Titanic" is the real momentum tonight Huge, but I didn't expect that Little Cooper was hiding here.

"Actually, I have considered the possibility, maybe, I mean, maybe, if the writer is willing to write my character as a woman, maybe today I will be one of the five beautiful women sitting in the audience waiting for the results to be revealed Hugo couldn't help clapping his hands and laughing at Little Cooper's ridicule, "But, thank God, the screenwriter didn't write like this and avoided this disaster. The final nominees are five beautiful women. Feel And a lady with outstanding strength."

Little Cooper looked at the nominations for the Best Supporting Actress department, "We can see the elegant Ms. Stewart," Gloria Stewart is 87 years old this year, "We can still feel the youthful Theron Ladies," and Charlize Theron is only twenty-two years old this year, "as for the other three ladies, they don't want me to announce those lovely and wonderful figures," Julianne Moore couldn't hold back, and laughed directly He sprayed, but fortunately he used his right hand to cover his lips, avoiding the bad posture, "So, let's take a look at the big screen and enjoy their wonderful performances in the movie."

Although there are less than two minutes of interludes, Cooper's performance is absolutely wonderful, continuing Billy's excellent performance in the opening, giving people reason to have more expectations for tonight's Oscars .

In fact, Best Supporting Actress is also the first head-to-head showdown tonight, with Joan Cusack of "The Groom Takes a Wrong Turn" and Julianne Moore of "Boogie Nights" among the five nominees. It is generally considered to be an accompanying runner. In fact, objectively speaking, Julianne's performance is worthy of recognition, and the praise of "Boogie Night" is not inferior, but because the competitors are too strong, Julianne, who was nominated for the first time, naturally became a spectator.

The real competition begins among the remaining three candidates, Minnie Driver from "Good Will Hunting", Charlize from "LA Confidential" and Gloria from "Titanic". It can be said to be white hot. Needless to say, the works of the three actors can be regarded as one of the most acclaimed works in the professional field in the past year. The additional factors that the works can give actors to win awards are absolutely outstanding, which also makes the Best Actress The Supporting Actors Division makes for the opener of tonight's Best Picture contenders!

Both Gloria and Minnie are nominated for the first time as actors, while Charlize is only nominated for the second time. Coupled with Julian, who was also nominated for the first time, and Joan, who was nominated for the second time, it can be seen that Best Supporting Actress is always a hotbed for awarding new actresses. The pattern of different requirements of actors and actresses reflects that men are always getting older and more popular, and women are always getting younger.

Gloria has worked hard and has been active on the big screen since the 1930s, and then chose to retire. It was not until the late 1980s that she appeared on the big screen again as an elderly actor, this time in "Titan" "The Nick" also contributed a very good actor. Many people think that this actress inherited from the golden age of Hollywood is absolutely worthy of a statuette. In addition, the momentum of "Titanic" is overwhelming , which is also Gloria's biggest bargaining chip.

Minnie and Charlize are actually quite similar. Both of them appeared on the big screen for the first time around 1994 and 1995. Minnie starred in works such as "The Four Brothers of Pride" and "007's Golden Eye", while Charlie Ziz is well-recognized by "Before Sunrise" and "The Devil's Advocate", even the ages are very close - Minnie is 27 years old this year, only five years older than Charlize.

In addition, the works presented by the two people at the awards ceremony this time are also very similar. The roles played by the two are both the only red flower among the green leaves, which also played an important role in the advancement of the whole story. What's more interesting is that the works of the two are also the biggest winners in the best original screenplay department, and the fierce competition has already started ahead of schedule.

Objectively speaking, Minnie's performance in "Good Will Hunting" is not too amazing, and more depends on the overall influence of the work to be shortlisted, while Gloria and Charlize are both shown in the work The award is definitely well-deserved for a stellar performance; but the Best Supporting Actress category is used to rewarding young actresses, which gives Minnie and Charlize a slight advantage, and Julianne also has the absolute strength to become a "dark horse" .

All of this makes Best Supporting Actress full of various suspense, especially before the awards ceremony, the confrontation between the traditionalists and the innovative faction makes several works completely stand on the opposite side, in the face of the important task of making history , no one is willing to back down.

The short film on the big screen finished playing quickly, and the air at the scene couldn't help but tense up, and subtle sparks could be seen faintly.

Charlize sat on the seat, couldn't help but put her hands away gently, and her heart beat slowed down instead. She recalled what happened in the recent period in her mind. She knew that on the road of acting She still has a long way to go. Among other things, the role of Irene Enos is almost exhausting all her efforts. So, even if tonight is not hers, she should not feel regretful or sad, because her future has just begun.

Thinking of this, Charlize couldn't help but look at the back of his head obliquely in front of him. At this time, Hugo turned his head slightly and said something to Leonardo. Leonardo turned his head to look at Charlize, and then stood up. The thumb seemed to be cheering her up, which made Charlize's extremely nervous face draw a smile.

"Phew, it's time to reveal the answer!" Little Cooper picked up the envelope in his hand, and patted his right hand lightly, with a look of foolishness, but it made the tense atmosphere of the scene even more tense.

Charlize felt a wave of restlessness around her, and she couldn't help but turned her head to take a look, only to find that Minnie's smile was completely stiff at this time, like a robot, and the muscles that were so tense that they would break at any time could not be seen through the evening dress. can be clearly felt. Charlize knew that she was not the only one who was nervous, and even Julian and Gloria who were sitting next to each other had weird expressions at this time, which made Charlize wonder: How bad is her expression?

Recalling Hugo's uncontrollable expression on the previous night of the award ceremony, Charlize also felt inexplicably happy.

"The winner of the 70th Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is..." Little Cooper said loudly, showing a smug smile, and then gently opened the envelope in his hand, everyone in the audience screened Hold your breath, especially the crew of "L.A. Confidential", "Good Will Hunting", and "Titanic"-the first two are the most, and the suffocating tension made Cooper couldn't help swallowing. With a mouthful of saliva, her fingers trembled slightly.

Little Cooper glanced down, trying to maintain his smile, and then he glanced at Hugo - just a light glance, Hugo was full of doubts and before he had time to think, he heard Little Cooper say, " Charlize Theron, 'LA Confidential'."

"Yeah!" Hugo clenched his fist hard, as if the winner was himself, then turned his head and embraced Leonardo vigorously. The two hit each other's backs, and the bang The voice made the two of them almost vomit blood, but the smiles on their faces completely bloomed.

Hugo turned his head, and then saw Charlize who was completely stunned sitting there. Robin Williams beside her gave her a big hug and helped her stand up. But Charlize was still shocked, looking at the big stage in disbelief, walking forward unconsciously with those light steps.

Charlize searched around blankly, as if she wanted to find a focal point, and then in the crowd, she saw Hugo like this, her amber eyes were full of excitement, telling her: She really Awarded!
