Chapter 751 751 Suspense Revealed

Marisa Tomei, the actress who will turn 30 this year, is definitely a newcomer. Although she began to play tricks in 1986, it was not until "Oscar" in 1991 that she got it. A small role with lines, but only one year's precipitation, in 1992 "My Cousin Vinny (My. Cousin. Vinny)" let her turn out, not only won the Oscar for the first time in her career Nominated for Best Supporting Actress, and also continued the department's tradition of rewarding newcomers, winning his first Golden Man in one fell swoop.

In fact, Marissa has never been the kind of popular actor in Hollywood, but her solid acting skills have always been an indispensable backbone. After winning her first golden statuette, her footsteps did not stop, and then she relied on it separately. "In. The. Bedroom" in 2001 and "The. Wrestler" in 2008 were nominated for two Oscars for Best Supporting Actress, which many actors have been unable to match. height.

Marisa, who is still a little young now, nervously walked onto the stage, stumblingly finished her lines according to the script, and then let the audience watch the big screen.

Short films on the big screen introduce the audience to the nominees for this year's Best Supporting Actor.

At this moment, Jack suddenly became excited and smashed Adam who was sitting beside him twice, "Hey, hey, Hugo!"

There was no need for Jack to say, Adam was tense at the first time. In fact, when the first short film was played, when Leonardo DiCaprio was introduced, Adam's muscles were already tense. He knew very well. Knowing that Hugo was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and when Jack noticed, Hugo's short film had already appeared.

On the big screen, Hugo in the black and white picture was standing in front of the mirror wearing a white shirt, all three buttons on it were loosened, his hair was a little messy, and he was expressionless. Looking at himself in the mirror, he slowly raised his right hand to comb the messy hair, then carefully looked at his expression, slightly raised his chin, and hesitantly stretched out the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pointing to Seeing himself in the mirror, he opened his lips, "I forgive you." Then, his fingertips slowly touched the surface of the mirror, and those quiet and cold eyes exuded a chilling light that made people shudder.

Audiences who have watched "Schindler's List" remember this scene. After being persuaded by Schindler, Amon Goss decided to execute his emperor's ability and forgive those guilty. This sentence "I forgive you" is a famous line that shows Amon's power. He has also forgiven several "sinful people" before, but at this moment, what he said is to forgive the person who didn't clean the bathtub just now. What about teenagers? Or do you forgive yourself who is about to let go of your sins?

Should be the latter. Because within two seconds, gunshots rang out, and the boy who had just left the villa fell into a pool of blood. Amon made a choice. He chose to use force and brutality to show his power, and he—as the emperor— He forgives himself and releases the devil in his heart again.

As soon as the big screen went black, the gunshot sounded immediately, making all the audience who saw the short shudder shudder, and in an instant it seemed to return to the heavy story of "Schindler's List".

"Hugo, that kid is really... crazy, isn't it?" Jack only felt his heart curl up, he patted Adam's hand lightly, and sighed.

Adam didn't speak, he just looked at the TV screen silently, and Marissa, who was standing in the center of the stage, said after the clip, "'Schindler's List', Hugo Lancaster." Then, the camera It was aimed at Hugo in the auditorium. Adam looked at his son sitting in the chair, and seemed to sense his son's nervousness, and a shallow smile appeared in his eyes.

Hugo was sitting in a chair at this time, looking at the camera hanging in front of him, twitching the corners of his mouth, trying to show a smile, he succeeded, but the tension in his heart swept over him, his hand on his knee couldn't help As soon as he held it, he could clearly feel the stiffness of his muscles, the sound of his heart hitting his chest was so clear that his eardrums trembled slightly, and even the sound of his temples beating was so clear.

That's exactly what it feels like.

Before attending the awards ceremony, Hugo also told himself, don't care, it's just an awards ceremony - a slightly grander awards ceremony, how many people yearn for the Oscar statuette all their lives, because it requires luck.

What's more, the Golden Man is indeed the highest award in the film industry, but it is not the only award. The most obvious example is Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, these two film masters, can be called prodigies of the world, but they have not been able to win the favor of Oscar in their lifetime, but But no one dared to deny their greatness.

And then there's "Citizen Kane," which missed the Oscars and left Orson. Welles furious, even cursing. But history finally gave this movie a clean slate. On the list of major classic movies, "Citizen Kane" has been at the top of the list for half a century.

All of this proves that the Oscars do have an authoritative position and are the most important awards in the world, but they are not the only, not the only standard, not the only authority, not the only great, absolutely not.

People say that the more you want, the less you can't get it, and this is the reality. So Hugo kept persuading himself to settle his mind, not to make extravagant demands, and everything would take its course.

But it's only when you really come to this position that you can feel the desire and the tension. Even the masters of Hitchcock and Kubrick regret that they missed the Oscar, and even Orson Welles because of I am very annoyed that I didn't get the golden statuette, so Hugo is no exception. Not everyone can become a literary and artistic person like Woody Allen.

It's really easy to say cool words in peacetime. Even Hugo, before the official start of the award ceremony, adjusted his mentality very well, and he went into battle with ease. But when the moment of the answer really came, the tension grabbed his heart tightly in an instant, leaving Hugo without any resistance at all, and his nervous emotions controlled his brain.

Hugo couldn't help swallowing a mouthful of saliva, but found that his throat was very dry, and that difficult feeling made him feel like he was about to evaporate, even if it was a street performance, even if it was the first time to die on the big stage, Even if he was acting in front of Al Pacino or Jack Nicholson, he wasn't nervous at the moment.

Marisa on stage continued to introduce, the camera showed that the red light that was recording had gone out, and turned to the next candidate, Tommy Lee Jones.

Hugo turned his head with difficulty and looked at Leonardo who was sitting next to him. At this time, Leonardo's condition was even worse than Hugo's. At least Hugo's expression was not too flawed, just slightly. It's just stiff, but Leonardo's face has become extremely pale at this time, and there are two faint blushes looming in the sweat, just one look can easily read Leonardo's nervousness - no matter how obvious However.

Seeing Leonardo's embarrassed appearance, Hugo couldn't help but feel relieved, and the smile on the corner of his mouth also outlined. Although Leonardo had a more relaxed mentality than Hugo before the award ceremony, and seemed to be coming over to enjoy it, at this critical moment, he could not be exceptionally nervous.

Hugo remembered Leonardo, who had been defeated and defeated many times on the Oscar journey after the 21st century. At that time, Leonardo, who was over 30 years old and had been in Hollywood for more than ten years, was still nervous. , Hugo even remembered that at the 86th Oscar in 2014, Leonardo lost again, when he lost to Matthew McConaughey, who was nominated for the first time and also had a black history of idols, even though he He calmed down again, smiled and applauded Matthew, but those azure blue eyes were still full of tears. Not to mention the young boy who is only nineteen years old now?

Presumably, the nervousness of candidates such as Tommy, John, Pitt, etc. is not much better at this moment, even Pitt, who is reputed to have the lowest probability, is no exception - after all, as long as you are shortlisted, there is hope. In theory, everyone is There is a 20% chance of winning the prize, so there is no doubt that nervousness locks everyone in.

Leonardo was a step too late to notice Hugo's eyes, and turned his head with difficulty, like a robot, and it was a robot that lacked lubricating oil. , Leonardo swallowed hard.

Hugo couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although he was nervous to death, he still asked, "Are you okay?"

Leonardo widened his eyes, looked at Hugo with a look of surprise, and replied with the expressions and movements of his whole body: I'm not good.

Hugo opened his left hand, wiped the sweat from his palm on his thigh, then patted the back of Leonardo's cold hand, and said with his mouth, "Immediately." That means, it will be over soon , Although she was very nervous at this time, when Marisa revealed the answer, no matter who won the prize, the nervousness would be released immediately.

Leonardo couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if he saw Hugo's equally nervous expression, or felt the comfort from Hugo, or because the sentence "immediately" let him see that he was rescued. of hope, which makes Leonardo a little easier.

It only took a few seconds before and after. When I turned my head and saw the stage again, I had just finished playing John Malkovich's introductory video, and then the big screen switched to a live broadcast of the five candidates. It means that the candidates have been introduced, and the winners are about to be announced.

While Marisa was talking, Hugo glanced at the big screen. Although he couldn't see other people's emotions, the stiff facial lines still revealed the tension in everyone's heart, even Tommy didn't. Exceptionally, this made Hugo slightly relieved, and when he turned his head, he saw Marisa standing on the stage and said:

"The winner of the 66th Academy Awards for Best Supporting Actor is..."
