Chapter 2173 Chapter 2173

Tonight's Oscars are still full of stars. The crew of "A Beautiful Mind" sat together, and Hugo and Charlize sat together as a matter of course. On Hugo's left is Leonardo, and to the left is "Supernatural" The "Sixth Sense" crew, the little guy Haili was sitting beside Leonardo, his face full of tension.

On the right hand side of the "A Beautiful Mind" crew is the "Green Miracle" crew. Tom Hanks has once again been next to Hugo after last year. It's just that last year "Saving Private Ryan" was an absolute hit, but this year's "Green Miracle" is obviously not competitive enough.

The "Magnolia" crew sat on the other side of the aisle, and Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman came over to say hello to Hugo before the ceremony. Hugo saw Paul Thomas Anderson again, and the two stood beside them having a good chat. If the staff hadn't come up to remind them that the awards ceremony was about to kick off, the two of them might not have stopped yet.

Tonight's Oscars ceremony once again ushered in old faces. Billy Crystal served as the host of the ceremony for the seventh time. Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, I know, you will be disappointed again when you see me, yes, I have appeared again. But at least, I am not as good as that gentleman." After finishing speaking, Billy turned towards Hugo's direction cast his gaze, and then the director's live camera was aimed at Hugo, making Hugo appear on the big screen, and everyone in the audience roared with laughter.

Amidst the laughter, James Cobain, the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award last year, stepped onto the stage and kicked off the night with the Best Supporting Actress award as usual.

In fact, the Best Supporting Actress award is undoubtedly one of the most fiercely contested awards tonight. It is generally believed that Angelina of "Missing Soul" is the biggest favorite, Charlize of "A Beautiful Mind" and "Life of a Puppet" Catherine Keener has the ability to overturn competitors. In particular, Angelina's challenge to Charlize has also become the biggest hot topic before the award ceremony, making people have more expectations for the trend of the awards.

However, when James announced the answer, he was beyond everyone's expectations, "The winner of the 72nd Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is... Toni Collette, 'The Sixth Sense of Spirituality'." Setsuna There was an uproar in the audience, not Angelina, not Charlize, not even Catherine, but Toni!

It's not because Toni is not strong enough, but because "The Sixth Sense" has too obvious disadvantages as a horror movie. Winning the nomination is a historic breakthrough. No one dares to imagine "The Sixth Sense" Being able to win an award is true in any department. But now, the Oscar's first award tonight is an upset, which makes the trend of this year's awards show even more unpredictable.

After all, Charlize still failed to win for the third consecutive year—in fact, she won the Acting Oscar for two consecutive years before, which was already the pinnacle of Charlize’s career. The high praise has continued her strong performance. But... winning the Acting Golden Award for three consecutive years? This was indeed too much for Charlize, who was under twenty-four years old.

When James' voice came out from the stereo, Charlize reacted even earlier than Hugo, and showed a big smile-Charlize was almost not nervous tonight, and after James announced the result, Not only was she not disappointed, but she was somewhat relieved, because if she had reached such a career peak before the age of twenty-four, she might really lose the motivation to continue working hard, and the road ahead would only become more and more difficult.

So, Charlize applauded Toni with a smile on her face, and Hugo immediately reacted, stood up, and gave a big hug to Toni who was stunned and couldn't believe it. By the time Toni stepped onto the stage, she had almost collapsed and was crying. From Australia to the United States, only she knows the hardships of the journey.

"Oh, God, God..." Toni's muffled voice was barely able to form a sentence effectively, "Hugo Lancaster, I love you, I mean, I love you, but..." Everyone at the scene was amused by Toni's gaffe, "Sally, I'm sorry." Toni also laughed shyly, crying and laughing in embarrassment, "I mean, Hugo, thank you for trusting me. Me, for giving me the opportunity to play Lynn, thank you."

Charlize played the role of Lynn in "LA Confidential" and won her first Oscar as an actress; Toni played Lynn again in "The Sixth Sense", successfully replicating Charlize's trajectory. This has also become an interesting talk in Hollywood. Many screenwriters are saying that it is best to change the name of the heroine in their works to "Lynne".

Of course, this is just a joke. "The Sixth Sense" unexpectedly won the first statuette tonight, kicking off the prelude to the 72nd Oscars.

For Angelina, this is terrible news. In the case of a strong lead throughout the awards season, she finally missed her first statuette. What's worse, the work that had the last laugh was still Produced by Hugo, Angelina couldn't hide her depression and anger at all. She left her seat directly, using the bathroom as an excuse, and disappeared into the camera.

But for Hugo, this is a wonderful opening. He once thought about such a possibility, but it is still hard to describe the joy in his heart when it actually happened. He was genuinely happy for Toni, and even if she beat Charlize, he thought Toni deserved it.

Before the unexpected surprise of Best Supporting Actress dissipated, the Best Supporting Actor award came. Ms. Judi Dench stepped onto the stage gracefully, and Hugo heard Leonardo's breathing almost immediately The sound disappeared completely.

As soon as Hugo turned his head, he saw Leonardo whose face was flushed because of being too nervous. This made Hugo really couldn't help but laughed lightly without holding back. Leonardo turned his stiff head and looked at Hugo in annoyance, his eyes gleamed with depression, but his facial expression still couldn't bring out too many changes.

Hugo forgot, this is only Leonardo's third nomination. Time flies so fast, remember that he and Leonardo sat side by side, both of them sweating nervously, unable to control themselves, waiting for the announcement of the best supporting actor, but now we have entered the 21st century .

Thinking of this, Hugo patted Leonardo's arm and said in a low voice, "Remember? The first time the two of us were nominated."

Leonardo's brain was a bit slow, and it took a second to react. His expression couldn't help but relax a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was slightly outlined, and then he saw the playful smile in Hugo's eyes, and recalled Leonardo finally couldn't control the first embarrassment and embarrassment of the two of them, and burst out laughing.

Since the sound disturbed others, Leonardo quickly apologized in a low voice, and then turned his head to look at Hugo, "I was sweating so much at the time, it was no different from taking a bath." These words made Yu Guo frowned, with a disgusted expression on his face, Leonardo grinned to express his dissatisfaction, and then directly wiped his sweaty hands on Hugo's thighs, wiping them vigorously like a hand cloth. clean. Then looking up, Leonardo saw Hugo's stunned expression, which made the smile on the corner of his mouth brightly outlined.

Unknowingly, Leonardo's tension relaxed. He looked at the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Hugo before. Both he and he knew that Oscar was not their destination, but just a rest stop during the journey. Nervousness was inevitable, but there was no need to be too concerned about gains and losses, otherwise the one who would really hurt would be himself.

Leonardo opened his mouth, wanting to thank Hugo, but Judy's voice came from the stage, "Candidates, please look at the big screen." Leonardo knew that the camera was about to come and shoot his After reacting, he had to temporarily swallow his words, and turned his gaze to the big screen again.

Similar to the best supporting actress pattern, the best supporting actor is also a juxtaposition of top performers, Michael Caine of "The Law of the Cider House", Tom Cruise of "Magnolia", and "The Sixth Sense" Haley Joel Osment and Leonardo DiCaprio of "A Beautiful Mind" are favorites to win the award. Although Jude Law of "The Talented Ripley" is running with him, he is not to be underestimated. watch for. Among them, Tom and Haley have a slight advantage, and the calls for winning the prize are very high.

Leonardo looked at the faces on the big screen, and he suddenly realized that the possibility of him winning the award is actually relatively low, because the craze for "Titanic" has just ended, and the academy is very concerned about this award. The idol label of the film is still quite criticized, and has even become one of the weapons to attack "A Beautiful Mind", so it is already a huge victory for him to be nominated in the end.

Thinking of this, Leonardo suddenly relaxed and calmed down, thinking seriously, "Is it Tom or Haley?"

At this moment, Judy had already opened the red envelope, looked down, and then showed a shallow smile, "The winner of the 72nd Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is... Leonardo- DiCaprio, 'A Beautiful Mind'."

"What? Who is it?" Leonardo only felt that he seemed to have missed something, and then he saw Hugo's ecstatic face, hugged himself tightly, and locked himself tightly, He only felt that he could hardly breathe, and then he reacted:

He won an award?
