2100 Chapter 2100 Heart Stop

The 71st Academy Awards Ceremony has come to an end, and now there are only the last four statuettes that have not been awarded. The four heavyweight statuettes will draw an end to the long and turbulent 1998. However, at this time, no one can predict the future trend of the awards.

"Saving Private Ryan" won Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing, while "Shakespeare in Love" won Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design Three trophies, "The Truman Show" also received two statuettes for Best Original Screenplay and Best Musical Comedy Soundtrack.

"The Thin Red Line" has not yet been collected, especially after missing the best adapted screenplay, it was officially declared out of date; "Life is Beautiful" won two awards for best foreign language film and best drama soundtrack, although it still retains The hope of competing for the best picture, but according to the usual practice, the best foreign language film statuette is equal to the best film-the best film in a non-English language range, so there will be no "repeated awards".

This also means that the three works of "Saving Private Ryan", "Shakespeare in Love", and "The Truman Show" will compete for the best director, best actor, and best actress awards. Best Picture Attributes!

The best director award, which debuted first, is actually the least suspenseful award tonight. Although the five nominees are all extraordinary, Roberto Bernini of "Life is Beautiful", John Madden of "Shakespeare in Love", Terrence Malick of "The Thin Red Line", "Truman" The Peter Weir of "The World", all shortlisted for the best film and the best film editing competition, the comprehensive strength is not divided.

However, the long shot of Normandy at the opening of "Saving Private Ryan" is a classic in film history, which has won Steven numerous praises. Even before December, "The Truman Show" was so powerful that it could not shake Steven Wen won the second best director statuette; after the strong rise of "Shakespeare in Love", Steven still dominated the award season.

From the Directors Guild of America Awards to the Golden Globe Awards, from the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association to the National Board of Review, from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association to the New York Film Critics Association, the best directors all go to Steven Spielberg! It is really difficult for several other competitors to shake Steven's leading position.

It can be said that the Best Director Award is even less suspenseful than the Best Original Screenplay Award. But... too many accidents have happened tonight, including "Shakespeare in Love" unexpectedly rising and then unexpectedly shutting down, including the final winners of multiple awards, which completely continued the chaos of the entire awards season down. Therefore, before announcing the answer, no one can be sure, Steven is sure to win.

However, this time there were no accidents. Steven continued his strength throughout the awards season and won the Best Director Award!

There was a stir when Robert Redford announced the winner was "Steven Spielberg, 'Saving Private Ryan'" - last year's winner, James Cameron, citing filming , refused to attend this year's awards ceremony - everyone stood up collectively, and paid tribute to this director who has been in Hollywood for 20 years with warm applause.

Hugo immediately gave Steven a warm hug and patted him on the back, "You deserve it!" Steven winked at Hugo, revealing a hint of slyness, and then this Only after being sent off by everyone, he stepped onto the stage to receive his second statuette.

"Saving Private Ryan" further widened the distance, and currently leads the awards ceremony with five statuettes, which also makes the next best actress award very important.

In fact, the Best Actress award is not directly related to the best film, because only Gwyneth from "Shakespeare in Love" was shortlisted for this award, and none of the other four best film nominees was shortlisted for this award, just like "Small" The Thin Red Line" is in the same pattern for Best Adapted Screenplay - which should be in Gwyneth's bag.

If "Shakespeare in Love" wins the award, as long as the best actor is not won by Tom Hanks of "Saving Private Ryan", the final award will still remain in suspense; but if "Shakespeare in Love" Stepping in the footsteps of "The Thin Red Line" and missing out on that award, it can be forewarned that its best picture hopes have dropped below 20 percent.

But it's obviously not going to be easy, and even before the ceremony, no one can say with certainty who will definitely win Best Actress.

This year's five nominees can be said to be strong, but not good.

Cate Blanchett in "Elizabeth" won the Golden Globe Award for Drama and won the favor of the Chicago Film Critics Association; Fernanda Montenegro in "Central Station" It is the queen of the new Koberlin Film Festival, and has also won the hearts of the San Diego Film Critics Association and the Boston Film Critics Association.

Needless to say, Meryl Streep's reputation is priceless. The National Board of Review even decided whether to award the best actress award to Meryl or Charlize from "The Devil". However, a serious dispute arose, and in the end they were at a stalemate, and they simply awarded the title of Best Actress to Cameron Diaz of "I'm Crazy About Mary", making people dumbfounded. In addition, Meryl has also received awards from the San Francisco Film Critics Association and the Southeast Film Critics Association.

Gwyneth in "Shakespeare in Love" can be said to have come from behind. Relying on a strong public relations strategy, she first won a big award from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and then she had the last laugh at the Golden Globe Awards. They have all become an indispensable member of the nomination list, and their prestige even exceeds that of other competitors. They have successively won the titles of the National Society of Film Critics Awards and the Chicago Film Critics Association Awards, and began to lead the Oscars. Statue of gold competition.

However, throughout the awards season, Charlize from "The Devil" should be the consistent favorite. Just like Steven for the best director and "The Truman Show" for the best original screenplay, after "The Devil" was released, Charlize's performance can be said to have received rave reviews. Watching her act, walking into the theater for the second, third time, and being amazed again after each viewing.

Many people think that even if Charlize won the Best Actress last year, she deserves to be re-elected this year-this shows that people are admiring her. What's more, Charlize only won the Best Supporting Actress statuette last year. Therefore, under the overwhelming momentum of "Shakespeare in Love", Charlize still became the number one seed in the competition for the best actress in the awards season. Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, Screen Actors Guild Awards, New York Film Critics Association Awards, Independent Spirit Awards and other large and small award ceremonies put her name on the title of Best Actress.

But the most powerful person is often not the one who has the last laugh at the awards ceremony, and this is especially carried forward this year. Charlize led the first half of the awards season, but was overtaken by Gwyneth in the second half, and even after the Oscar nominations were announced, she fell behind Fernanda——

"Central Station", considered a classic film history, only received two nominations for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress. The overall strength of "Central Station" undoubtedly far exceeds that of "The Devil". However, this work was not recognized by the Oscars. On the contrary, it was robbed of its charm by "Life is Beautiful". Therefore, during the voting stage, many people believed that Fernanda should be affirmed to reward the excellence of "Central Station".

Nomination depends on strength, but winning an award requires a little bit of luck.

Now it seems that this year's luck is not with Charlize, but in the hands of Gwyneth and Ferranda.

Last year's Oscar winner, Jack Nicholson stepped onto the stage under much attention. Gwyneth saw Jack's figure, her first reaction was to hold Bob's arm tightly, and even bruised her veins because of too much force, but at this time Bob was as nervous as Gwyneth, so he Subconsciously, he held Gwyneth's arm instead, and the brave strength made Gwyneth feel pain.

Gwyneth hastily broke free from Bob's shackles and cast a fierce look, as if accusing Bob of being rude. Bob also realized his gaffe, and he quickly calmed himself down, but he realized that the entire award season's efforts depended on this moment, so his mood was still in a mess. Bob looked into Gwyneth's eyes and said firmly, "Don't worry, nothing went wrong, nothing went wrong!"

It was convincing Gwyneth, and it was convincing himself.

Gwyneth stared blankly at Bob, too many accidents happened tonight, so that she is also in shock now. However, at this time, the light in Bob's eyes made her settle down, thinking back to the past three months of parties, tea parties and lunch meetings, she had an event to attend almost every other day, everything All for her throne tonight. Thinking of this, Gwyneth's confidence exploded again. She believed in Bob, and even more in herself. The efforts of the past three months would never be in vain.

Gwyneth straightened her back again, and looked at the stage with the most elegant, perfect, and confident posture. She looked at Charlize on the left from the corner of her eyes, glanced contemptuously, and then raised her head high. Take off your own head, ready to welcome your own crown!

Plop, plop... The sound of the beating heart became louder and louder, hitting the eardrums like a drumstick, which completely disappeared all the surrounding noises, and it seemed as if he had seen the little golden man in his hand But the astonishment and embarrassment on the faces of Hugo and Charlize are so clear off the stage, the kind of victory that is within reach makes Gwyneth's face bloom with a magnificent light, which makes people unable to move open your eyes.

The heart suddenly stopped, and time and space suddenly stopped at this second, becoming eternity. This is the moment when she ascends the throne and becomes queen!
