Chapter 749 Chapter 749

After entering the Dorothy Chandler Hall, a warm breath came over me, and the tension in the air quickly settled on the skin. Although Hugo had participated in the Golden Globes before, relatively speaking , Oscar's overall feel is very different. Even though everyone has been emphasizing that the Oscars are a movie carnival party, it is difficult for almost every guest present to maintain absolute calm.

The nominees are looking forward to the results to be announced, and they are inevitably apprehensive; the presenters are wary of their next performances, and they are inevitably nervous; even people who play soy sauce are either because they can participate in such a feast or because of the countless opportunities for bigwigs Countless, and inevitably nervous.

Those seemingly insignificant staff or reporters are actually not much better than those under the spotlight. After all, this is the stage where the whole world is watching, from before the ceremony, to the dinner itself, to the after-party, almost every time. Exciting things are happening all the time, and no one wants to miss it.

Take Hugo alone as an example. He just entered the hall and met Johnny Depp with Leonardo. The two chatted for a while. I heard that there will be a tribute to River Phoenix tonight. Nipo was a little sighed, and it could be seen that he was not in the best condition tonight.

Then Hugo and Nora Ephron had a cordial chat for a while. Under Nora's introduction, Hugo and Mike Nichols had a pleasant conversation, and then Meryl Stry Pu also appeared. These three top bosses had collaborated on the "Silkwood Incident" and had a very good relationship. With the presence of these three people, the entire chat atmosphere was very relaxed. Although Mike never explained in detail, Hugo could clearly feel that Mike was actually showing goodwill to Hugo.

The showdown between "Farewell to Sentient Heaven" and "Schindler's List" has changed its flavor under the hype of the media, full of gunpowder flavor, almost to the point of life and death, and even more ridiculous is that all this is because Tracy's personal feud.

This is completely unnecessary for a big man like Mike who has been rolling in Hollywood for many years. He personally has no hatred between Hugo and Steven Spielberg, not to mention that their own crew also have no hatred for special Lacey was particularly dissatisfied, so she didn't want to make things so stiff. Good conversation tonight, even though they didn't touch on substantive issues, it was much more effective than shouting through the media.

Afterwards, Hugo and Meryl chatted with Al Pacino for a while. As last year's Best Actor winner, Al came to present the Best Actress award tonight. Al was full of praise for Hugo's recent performance, and even mentioned Francis Ford Coppola's appreciation for Hugo, which surprised Hugo.

Steven Spielberg took away Hugo, who was chatting with Daniel Day-Lewis. Hugo's admiration for Daniel was like a torrent of water. The author, Daniel was called an absolute acting madman, and Hugo felt very excited to have the opportunity to chat with Daniel.

Unfortunately, Steven interrupted the conversation.

Steven took Hugo and had a meeting with David Geffen. This was the first time Hugo met David, who was later called the most powerful gay in Hollywood. He has been in Hollywood since 1980. , is now the top player class. David is a Jewish New York native of Polish origin. He and Steven have a close personal relationship. That is, this year, he and Steven co-founded DreamWorks.

However, David wanted to meet Hugo, not for the unspoken rules of Hugo, but simply to get to know Hugo. He was absolutely full of praise for Hugo's performance in "Schindler's List". "He mentioned it to me at least five times, thinking that you have a bright future, so on this occasion today, I thought I had to introduce you to you," Steven said.

Later, Hugo met the "Piano Farewell" crew again, and not only met Jane Campion, the female director, but also met Anna Paquin, the famous girl between teeth.

If you follow the historical trajectory, Anna will rely on her excellent performance in "A Farewell to the Piano" to win the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress this time. She is only twelve years old. This little girl who was a child star reached the first brilliant peak of her acting career early, and then she went up and down for nearly fifteen years, until a series called "True Blood", before she did it again. Bring her back to the pinnacle of her career.

When Hugo entered the studio, he realized that, in fact, the awards ceremony had not started at all. This was just an appetizer, but it was such an appetizer that made Hugo know a lot of things that could not be solved before. People, and more importantly, only now did Hugo feel the solidarity of the Jewish people in Hollywood. No wonder Steven was able to have such great power in Hollywood, and he was the other three directors who became the top four directors in the 1980s. The power is monstrous, but there are still slight differences.

However, it is worth mentioning that Martin Scorsese and Francis Ford Coppola are both of Italian descent, and their cultural backgrounds are reflected in their works; George Lucas is a native of California. man, and his contribution to film special effects technology is unparalleled. The strength of the supporters behind them is also the same as Steven, huge and solid, which is one of the important reasons why they can stand at the top of the industry.

Under the guidance of the staff, Hugo found his place. The members of the "Schindler's List" crew were all arranged together, and eight rows away from them on the left side was the "Farewell to Love" crew. . It can be felt that the ABC TV station responsible for the broadcast of the program has made a meaningful arrangement.

Close to the left of "Schindler's List" is the "Different Sky" crew. It is said to be the crew. In fact, two leading actors, Leonardo and Johnny, attended. The former was nominated because of the nomination, and the latter The presenter is the guest of honor, which is a surprise.

Hugo and Leonardo sat next to each other and chatted excitedly about the harvest just now. It didn't take long for the 66th Academy Awards to officially kick off.

Hosting Tonight's Movie Gala is none other than one of the most successful female hosts in Oscar history, Whoopi Goldberg, the Broadway stand-up and award-winning actress , is one of America's most iconic black actors.

In 1985, "Purple" with Steven can be regarded as her most famous work, but the work that really brought her to the top was the 1990 "Ghost Love" which not only won her the best Oscar. The supporting actress is a golden figure, and her popularity has reached its peak; 1992's "Nuns Are Crazy" also brought Whoopi into its heyday.

In addition, Whoopi has also served as the host of the Oscars four times before and after, and is the most successful host except Billy Crystal, Steve Martin (Steve. Martin) and others. Among them, it is even more outstanding. Whoopi's humor, boldness and wildness can always inject a different color into the awards ceremony.

This year marks the first time Whoopi has served as the host of the Oscars, and he has held the position three more times in 1996, 1999 and 2002, and has won unanimous praise from the public opinion circles.

Although Hugo once watched the thrilling scene of Whoopi falling from the sky in a turkey costume at the 74th Oscars in 2002, I have to say that this year is the first time Whoopi has served as the host, and you can still feel that at the beginning. kind of nervous. On such a grand and grand stage, anyone will be nervous, even the battle-hardened Billy Christo is no exception. Tension is a normal emotion, and turning tension into motivation is the demeanor of a strong man. .

Ubi is obviously such a strong man.

"Huh, I saw Hugo Lancaster." Whoopi's words appeared, and there was a roar mixed with screams at the scene. You can clearly feel the enthusiasm of the fans on the second floor, especially It was when Hugo's shy smile appeared on the big screen that the screams got out of control for a while.

Whoopi nodded again and again and said, "I know, I know, it's incredible, isn't it? God, you are so handsome." Ubi's words drew a scream again, "But I hope your belly can be Change the height of Tom Cruise and it's perfect, both of you." Whoopi's words immediately made everyone at the scene can't help but laugh, but Hugo didn't know himself Should he laugh or not, most people are also concerned about Tom's feelings, and their smiles are still very restrained.

"Hey, who's the one sitting next to you, isn't it Leonardo DiCaprio?" Whoopi saw Leonardo's gloating expression, and immediately continued, letting Leonardo Duo's expression froze, and now it was Hugo's turn to laugh, "Let me see, let me see, yes, Anna Paquin is here, that's right! I'm not mistaken, could it be that this year's Academy judges Did you change a batch? Much younger than I thought."

This is to satirize the old school's old-fashioned eyes, and there is no doubt that there is a lot of laughter at the scene.

"Oh, sorry, I was wrong, I saw Anthony Hopkins." Whoopi's regretful words instantly made everyone couldn't bear it any longer, and they laughed and applauded.

Anthony was born in 1937 and is fifty-seven years old this year.

After experiencing the brief nervousness at the beginning, Whoopi quickly entered the state and easily mastered the rhythm in her own hands. She was originally proficient in singing and dancing, and her stand-up talent was even more outstanding. The position of Oscar host is for her. Saying it wasn't a daunting challenge. Overcoming his own tension, Ubi immediately burst into infinite charm.

"I heard Gene Hackman backstage complaining about my delay, so I thought, it's time for me to leave him on stage, ladies and gentlemen, let's welcome... Gene Hackman !"
