Ethan opened the envelope on the ground, and the crisp and neat action made the scene gasp, as if everyone was not mentally ready, Ethan was already about to announce the answer, and the excitement without any stop suffocated the scene of the Holy Great Hall in an instant, and all the air completely evaporated.

Ethan really didn't pause, he took out the card directly from the envelope, leaving almost no time for people to react, and then looked down, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, "Oh......" He couldn't help but show a surprised expression on his face, and sighed again, "Oh! It turned out to be this one, and I hope I wasn't too rude just now. Ethan's exclamation made everyone at the scene more curious, and many people couldn't help but stretch their necks to take a look at the card in Ethan's hand.

At this moment, Ethan paused, letting the atmosphere that was extremely tense make his heart stop beating in an instant.

Hugo didn't, he could hear the sound of his heart beating, clear and accurate, no acceleration, no slowing down, just a very normal rhythm, as if he had long been accustomed to the atmosphere of the awards ceremony now, but the sound of the heart crashing was getting louder and louder, as if it was hitting the eardrums, and the clear and unambiguous sound made the blood all over his body slowly heat, and an indescribable heat slowly seeped out on the surface of the skin, as if the whole person was directly above the crater.

Hugo opened his mouth slightly and swallowed a mouthful of saliva, trying to calm himself down a little, but found that his throat was terribly dry, and a little moisture not only did not moisten his throat, but made his throat start to itch, as if he was about to start coughing in the next second. This forced Hugo to adjust his breathing a little and suppress the urge to cough.

The heart was still beating at an even speed, but the tension began to creep in.

Joel stretched out his head at this time to look at the card in Ethan's hand, the first time he didn't see it clearly, he had to reach out and adjust the card in Ethan's hand, and then his eyes widened, "Oh...... Oh! Joel let out a similar exclamation, which made the audience even more itchy and eager to find out.

Ben didn't hold back after all, and stretched his neck, as if he stood up a little bit, and he could see the name behind the card, and he reached out to support his deputy, and wanted to stand up. But he didn't want the warm sweat in his palm to slip, and before he could support his body, the whole person fell crookedly, and his elbow hit the back of the chair fiercely.

It hurt terribly, but Ben didn't have time to deal with the piercing pain at this time, and his eyes were just staring fiercely at the card in the Coen brothers' hands.

He wants to defeat Hugo, he wants to step on Hugo's shoulders and become famous in one fell swoop, he wants to see Hugo eat deflated, he wants to prove himself, he wants to stand at the peak of his career, he wants to stand in the middle of Hollywood, he wants to be the darling surrounded by magnesium lights, he wants to return all the insults on the red carpet to Hugo, he wants to make the earth revolve around him! He wants this little golden man, like never before, more than anyone else!

There was even a moment when he wanted to monopolize the little golden man, leaving Matt alone, the idea was only for a moment, but like a black hole, it became bigger and bigger, and the irrepressible excitement made him forget the pain in his elbow, and his youthful and childish face was raised high, as if he could hold the whole world in the palm of his hand with just a light grip.

"It's mine, it's mine, ......it's mine," Ben began to whisper again, as if he had a wishing spell, as if his voice could evolve into the voice of the Coen brothers.

"Sorry, we should have announced the answer." Joel also realized his gaffe in a blink of an eye, he couldn't help but take a deep breath, and said loudly, "The winner of the 70th Academy Awards, Best Original Screenplay is ......" and Joel returned the card to Ethan and asked Ethan to announce the final answer.

In an instant, everyone in the audience held their breath, and the tension reached the extreme.

Ben forgot to the extreme, grabbed something casually, and then began to tighten the palm of his hand, and tightened it again, as if the palm controlled the whole world, and all the sounds in his throat were frozen at this moment; Simon felt that his arm was being held by something, Simon couldn't help but look down, and then looked at Ben in surprise, but Ben didn't notice it at all, because all his attention was on the stage, and his whole soul seemed to be sucked into a black hole, and he couldn't notice anything.

Even Simon was nervous at this time, but he still showed an unbelievable wry smile, but before Simon could shake off Ben's palm, the voice on the stage came again.

Ethan looked at the stage and showed a big smile, without any pause, and read the mystery directly, "'Perfect', Hugo Lancaster!" ”

It's "perfection", it's Hugo Lancaster, it's a whole new history – history is born again at this moment!

"Boom", the audience applauded thunderously in an instant, one of the most important suspense tonight revealed the answer, in this rookie battle, Hugo successfully defeated the huge "soul catcher", once again subverted the choice of the Golden Globe Awards, and successfully laughed to the end of the Oscars, with the excellent script of "perfect" to win his first screenwriter statuette trophy, and also became the second person in film history after Emma to win both acting awards and screenwriting awards, Once again, an incredible history has been written.

This is also another side of Hugo's rising power in the past year, "Perfect" and "Los Angeles Confidential" The outstanding performance of the two works of "Perfect" and "L.A. Confidential" has allowed Hugo to enter a new world, and he continues to open up the territory belonging to the "Hugo Dynasty" with his head held high, and tonight's Best Original Screenplay trophy also answers people's doubts with practicality: Hugo, as a screenwriter, is his strength and appeal enough?

The whole scene has been completely reduced to a sea of applause, and even nearly half of the people have stood up one after another, giving Hugo a round of applause, and even more applause for this incredible historical moment - the 70th Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, the answer is revealed: Hugo Lancaster has received screenwriter recognition for the first time!

"Hey! Hey! Leonardo hugged Hugo excitedly, and couldn't even say a word because he was too excited, so he could only keep shouting, "Hey! Then he hit Hugo the back with both hands, making Hugo feel that he was likely to vomit blood in the next second. The excitement was so much that he couldn't help himself, even more exaggerated than he won the award.

Looking back from Leonardo's shoulder, I saw Charlize's smiling expression, her face could no longer see the embarrassment left after crying at the beginning, and the exquisite makeup made her look elegant and calm, but at this time, Charlize's eyes flashed with crystal mist again, not perfect at all, on the contrary, it looked a little embarrassed, but the thin mist reflected the smile at the corner of her mouth, but it was so real, so real.

Immediately, Jack saved Hugo from Leonardo's arms, and Jack patted Hugo on the shoulder hard, and the smile in his eyes was full of praise and appreciation for Hugo, as if to say, "This is what you deserve." Helen Hunt, Kate Winslet, and Dustin Hoffman, who were sitting next to him, all came up to congratulate Hugo.

Hugo originally thought that he would be so excited that he couldn't help himself, as if when he won the Best Actor award before, the indescribable mixed emotions would drown him out. But in fact, Hugo was always very sober and had a clear understanding of the whole situation, and he even had the energy to say a few polite words to his colleagues around him, and his mind was unusually clear.

But this does not mean that Hugo is not excited, on the contrary, in fact, the turbulence in his heart has begun to surge, the bitterness and happiness dancing on the tip of his tongue are indescribable, when he learned that Ethan announced the winner, the thoughts in his mind began to boil little by little, and the hot air made the surrounding crowd gradually blurred.

It is precisely this kind of sobriety and calmness that makes the emotion of extreme excitement more clear, and Hugo almost thought that his heart was going to explode in the next second. The inner emotion cannot be expressed in words.

Ben sat in a daze, looking at Hugo who walked onto the stage step by step, dazed, unable to hide his disappointment, with frustration written all over his face, as if the whole world had collapsed. Even though Ethan announced the answer, Ben still couldn't believe that they actually lost, and actually lost to Hugo's "perfection".

Ben had always thought that the trophy was in their pocket, and he couldn't think of any other choice, so how could he and Matt not be recognized for their talents? How can it be!

"This time Hugo is going to be triumphant again, showing off his might." This was the only thought in Ben's heart, and suddenly someone next to him patted his arm, which made Ben turn his head fiercely, just wanting to make the other party stop for a while, but seeing Simon's embarrassed smile, Ben couldn't help but be stunned, "I'm sorry, can you let go of my hand?" ”

Simon's words made Ben's brain completely unable to turn, and then Simon raised his left hand, Ben found that his right hand was tightly clasped around Simon's arm like an eagle catching a chicken, which immediately made him very embarrassed, and quickly let go of his right hand.

Matt sat in place and exhaled softly, although he didn't have much expression, the loss in his heart still made him want to vomit. Looking up at the Coen brothers who were embracing Hugo enthusiastically, his eyes were complicated, envy, jealousy, rejection, hatred, appreciation, sadness, sarcasm, recognition...... Countless emotions made him have to slowly close his eyes.

The winner is the king, and the loser is the loser! Ben and Matt wanted to step on Hugo's shoulders and taste the taste of overnight fame, but they didn't expect to become the best witnesses of Hugo's strong rise.
