Chapter 2101: 2101 Thunderous Applause

Charlize felt that her muscles were tense to the extreme, as if they were about to explode in the next second. This feeling made her feel her throat was already hot, and even swallowing saliva would not help.

Charlize subconsciously looked around, trying to find Hugo's figure, maybe seeing Hugo's mocking smile, she could return to normal. But the faces on the left and right sides were somewhat blurred, and although she wasn't sure who they were—her mind was completely blank, she knew that it wasn't Hugo.

Through the crowds of people, Charlize caught a glimpse of a hazy sight, the warm eyes seemed to have a hint of gloating, "Look at your nervous embarrassment, it's really a mess", the sight is in the dim lights and dense crowds. It is not obvious among the crowd, and can only be vaguely noticed. But Charlize knew that it was him, Hugo, and the sarcasm and mocking eyes were him, which made the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth inexplicably outlined, and she just wanted to give Hugo a middle finger.

Jack Nicholson stepped onto the stage, and seeing Jack's old urchin-like smile, Charlize's tense shoulders began to relax inexplicably, and he exhaled a long breath, and unexpectedly regained his calm, an unprecedented calm, As if she was just a bystander, and had nothing to do with these awards, and she was not included in the list of nominees that appeared on the big screen-that terrible special makeup did not look like herself. Thinking of this, Charlize actually felt a little happy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was slightly outlined.

However, the relaxation of the brain is not synchronized with the body, because Charlize can still feel the stiffness of the body muscles and can hardly move. This feeling is really weird, which makes Charlize start to think seriously: If I don’t win the prize, forget it , if I won the award, but I was stunned and couldn't get up, wouldn't I be ashamed and thrown home?

Jack stood on the stage, and after introducing the candidates, he looked in the direction of Hugo, smiled happily, and seemed to say, "How are you, are you nervous?"

In fact, Hugo was really nervous at this time, even more nervous than himself being a candidate. The muscles all over his body were like a rock, unable to move at all, and all the thoughts in his brain became a mass of paste. Just now he had the will to turn his head and laugh at Charlize's stiffness, but at this moment he himself was really dumbfounded, and he couldn't even smile.

Because Hugo knows what the work "The Devil" means to Charlize. If you miss this time, no one knows when the next time will be; but according to the historical track, it is "Shakespeare in Love" ’ Gwyneth ultimately won out. So, Hugo was nervous, more nervous than anyone. The hesitation between the known and the unknown almost made him suffocate.

Even Tom, who was sitting next to him, noticed Hugo's tension. He patted Hugo's arm lightly, and asked with his eyes, "Are you okay?" Hugo only felt that his head was rusty The robot, even turning its head, was extremely difficult, and finally pulled out a smile that was uglier than crying, which made Tom amazed and funny.

"Let's skip those tedious stages. I know that everyone is very concerned about the results in my hands. In fact, I am more curious than you all, so..." Jack waved the red envelope in his hand, "I I won’t create any more suspense, so as to save everyone from suffering, I’m so curious that I’m about to have a heart attack.” Jack’s humor made the audience laugh out loud.

Gwyneth is also smiling, but her smile is completely different from that of other audiences around her. She is welcoming her little golden man with a smile, just like the queen smiling on the throne and accepting the worship of her subjects, that kind of confidence and elegance His smile, as if accurately measured with a ruler, was perfectly like a mask.

Gwyneth wasn't nervous at all, instead, she was completely relaxed as she mentally modeled herself walking onto the stage, the moment that everyone in the world was watching, and she was going to be at her best. A side of perfection, then grace the stage. She has even started thinking about how she would take the statuette from Jack, how she would walk to the microphone, how she would show her excitement, and how she would give her acceptance speech...

Acceptance speech, yes. Gwyneth quietly put her right hand on the chair, and put the completely soaked note in the seam of the chair—she would never go on stage with a note of acceptance speech, that would be too It's embarrassing, not to mention, she has memorized this acceptance speech countless times, and she can't make mistakes.

Gwyneth thought about it again, and after confirming that everything was perfect, she breathed a sigh of relief. Looking up, Gwyneth saw that Jack was looking down at the cards in the envelope. She adjusted her breathing and recreated that confident and calm smile: She is ready to go on stage to accept the award!

Jack looked down at the card in his hand, nodded while showing a study look, and then said into the microphone, "Very well, I know the answer, so now, we can start chatting." This sentence Everyone at the scene burst into laughter, and Charlize was also giggling, but she found that her "body" did not respond, and her facial expression was completely stiff, which made Charlize a little frustrated—this body was also stiff It's too outrageous.

Jack raised the card in his hand, "The 71st Oscar, the winner of Best Actress is..." Jack looked down at the audience waiting for the result under the stage, showing a big smile. Smile, "Charlize Theron, 'Female. The Devil.'"

"Boom", Hugo felt that all the thoughts in his mind exploded, and he couldn't help but clenched his fists, expressing his inner joy and happiness heartily. Many people around stood up one after another and began to applaud to congratulate, but there was a surprised sound in the applause, "Huh?"

Hugo raised his head and found that his eyes had been blocked by the crowd. He looked back at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and found that the expressions of the two were also somewhat unpredictable. Hugo immediately stood up and looked in the direction of Charlize. But Hugo saw Gwyneth for the first time.

Gwyneth took two steps forward, holding her skirt with both hands, with a perfect smile on her face, and the camera recorded this scene truly—as if, as if she was the winner . But after walking two steps, Gwyneth realized that everyone around her was looking at her in surprise. Before she could think, Bob walked up quickly and stood beside Gwyneth, almost A voice came out from between the teeth, "It's not you!"

Gwyneth could not react at all if she was struck by lightning. Then Gwyneth, like a Barbie doll, turned her head to look to the left under Bob's control, and clapped dumbly, as if she just stepped forward just now, just for a better perspective, to Congratulations to the real winners in general.

At this moment, Charlize sat on the chair blankly, without any reaction at all, and was completely stunned. Meryl, who was sitting next to her, patted Charlize's arm, gave her a big hug, and reminded her, "Honey, congratulations, your performance is really wonderful!"

Charlize's soul wandering outside returned to her body, but the muscles were already stiff and unable to move, which made Charlize curse in her heart, and said with self-deprecating, "That's all right, you look like a fool Same, so excited that I couldn't help myself, and then I was seen by everyone. Perfect, so perfect!"

Charlize finally came to her senses and gave Meryl a hug before standing up. But the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the whole person sat down again, which caused good-natured laughter in the hall, and Charlize himself laughed out of character, and stood up again.

After taking two steps forward, Gwyneth took the initiative to step forward and gave Charlize a hug. This made Charlize confused - she obviously didn't notice the episode just happened. Gwyneth obviously came back to her senses at this time, and was trying to cover up her rudeness just now in this way, but her stiff expression, numb movements, and distorted eyes revealed the truest emotions in her heart.

She lost.

Best Actress went to Charlize, not her. She could hardly believe this fact, but when she looked back at Bob and Harvey, the disbelief on their faces was like a defeated rooster, which completely destroyed the last line of defense in Gwyneth's heart, "No It’s not like this! It shouldn’t be like this! I should be the one who won the award, and I should have taken the statuette and taunted Hugo fiercely on Oscar night! Then I watched Hugo’s smug expression change Be embarrassed!"

Charlize was already on her feet again, leaving Gwyneth and Bob behind, stumbling onto the stage and taking the statuette from Jack. Jack gave Charlize a big hug and whispered passionately in her ear, "It's an honor to be able to present you with this award."

Charlize felt as if she was stepping on a cloud, the thunderous applause in front of her eyes became one piece, and lasted for a long time, everyone had already stood up, the blackness made it look like a boundless ocean under the stage lights, The bright light is surging and boiling, so beautiful that it seems unreal, like a dream that will never wake up, the feet can't step on the ground at all, there is only nothingness. Then, Charlize saw Hugo's gaze in the crowd, that warm and hot gaze, which was shining with crystal tears, staring at herself motionless, that kind of happiness rushed from the bottom of the feet to the top of the head like an electric shock , allowing Charlize to finally fully wake up.

It happened, all this happened for real, she won the Oscar for Best Actress, she won the second statuette in her career, and she was awarded the new Best Actress!
