The Weinstein brothers' self-confidence made Hugo's smile a little bitter, and many times, Hugo found history to be interesting, but occasionally, such as today, Hugo felt that "foreseeing the future" was not so interesting. It's as if he knows that he is doomed to failure, but he still needs to cheer up and do his best, trying to change the trajectory of history, trying to create a sky of his own.

According to the trajectory of the wheels of history, "Shakespeare's Love History" will sweep the best picture, best director, best actress, best supporting actress, best original screenplay and other seven golden figures, becoming the biggest winner tonight; Gwyneth Paltrow will ascend to the throne of the actress, and the last laugh in the battle for the best actor is Roberto Bernini of "Life is Beautiful".

In other words, there is nothing to do with "Truman's world" at all, and "saving Private Ryan" has become everyone's recognized Oscar regret.

But even so, so what, he has come all the way to the present, breaking countless histories, and following many histories, and the world is completely different from what he knows. If you are held back by fear of the future, then why should life begin? It's like him, like Charlize, who has a beginning to create the future, because every moment of the present is the cornerstone of the future.

Hugo looked at the backs of the Weinstein brothers and Gwyneth calmly leaving, Gwyneth stubbornly and proudly raised her head, and her straight spine outlined her pride and nobility, as if she was about to ascend the throne, step by step firmly and steadily towards her throne. The lines drawn between the light and shadow are like the work of the greatest painters, blooming with a thrilling light.

"Thinking about what? Stay here? A smiling voice came from behind him, and when he looked back, he saw Steven Spielberg's white beard, and Hugo pulled his mouth into a shallow smile, "I'm thinking about who will be happy and who will be disappointed when I go back tonight." ”

Steven followed Hugo's line of sight and looked ahead, and then saw the back of the Weinstein brothers, there have been too many things that have happened in recent months, even Steven, there is no way to completely sort out his thoughts at the first time, but he has been reminded by Hugo, and he has vaguely realized that after the film production link, film promotion link, and film distribution link, the film award link is also undergoing earth-shaking changes.

Over the past two months, the Weinstein brothers have become some of the most active people in Hollywood. Interestingly, the two of them are not powerful people at all, they can only be regarded as third-tier small people, but they control half of Hollywood's news, and even enough to shake the idea of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, so powerful that even Hugo can't do it. This is precisely the subtlety of social networking.

"Who knows. The unpredictability of the Oscars is the best part of it, isn't it? Steven looked at Hugo meaningfully and said, the academy has more than 5,000 judges, and people's hearts are always something that people can't be 100% sure of, let alone more than 5,000 different "people's hearts"? So, the uncertainty of the academy is too great for anyone to dare to pack a ticket: this year's Oscar list is predictable, and no one is there.

Hugo looked at Steven, couldn't help but laugh, and nodded slightly, "Then let's cross our fingers." ”

Hugo and Steven walked forward side by side, and then found that tonight's seating arrangement was actually set according to the crew, and the members of "Truman's World" who were successfully shortlisted for the award were all seated together, but there were still some differences, Nicole Kidman and her male partner Tom Cruise sat in the first row, while Alexander Lorraine and Peter Weir sat in the second row. On the left hand side of "Truman's World" is the crew of "Saving Private Ryan", and on the right hand side are the crew of "Suffering" and "Storm and Storm".

On the other side of the aisle were the "The Thin Red Line" and "Shakespeare in Love" crews, and Charlize Theron was also assigned to that side, with Bob Weinstein and Meryl Streep sitting between her and Gwyneth.

Hugo waved in the direction of Meryl and Charlize, and then walked to his place and sat down, Tom Cruise immediately stood up and gave Hugo a hug, "Why didn't you bring a female companion today?" Most of the people around actually brought their partners, Meryl, for example, brought her two daughters, but since the first row was reserved for the main event tonight, Meryl's two daughters sat behind her.

Hugo came alone, but he seemed a bit maverick.

Hugo glanced back at Charlize and found that she also happened to raise her head to look over, the two couldn't help but smile at each other, and after retracting their gaze, Hugo sketched a smile, "My partner was forgotten at home." Hugo is talking about Leonardo, the two walked the red carpet together last year, and they are still talked about today.

In fact, Leonardo wanted to attend the Oscars this year, but the academy did not send him an invitation.

Hugo had heard rumors in his previous life that after "Titanic", the academy's attitude towards Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was very ambiguous, and they all regretted that they had praised these two young actors too much, and the success of "Titanic" was a commercial achievement of computer special effects, which had nothing to do with the two actors. The academy is more inclined to position the two actors as "idol actors", so for a long time after that, Leonardo and Kate's Oscar road was particularly bumpy.

The actors of the "Harry Potter" series and the actors of the "Twilight" series are the same, although they became famous overnight and achieved incredible popularity, they all missed the Oscars within five or even ten years. This is probably a portrayal of "there are gains and losses".

It is also true that this year not only Leonardo did not receive an invitation, but even Kate did not receive an invitation. In the end, Kate still got a chance to play because of "Truman's World", but Kate didn't show up tonight.

Tom immediately understood Hugo's joke and laughed, "If you want, I can walk the red carpet with you on Oscar night." ”

Hugo didn't answer Tom, but looked at Nicole who was standing on the side and raised his hands, "I'm innocent." A simple explanation made Nicole cover her mouth and laugh.

Immediately afterwards, Tom Hanks also arrived at the scene, and his seat was only separated from Hugo by the Steven Spielbergs, which reminded Hugo of Charlize and Gwyneth's arrangement. Obviously, this is a deliberate effort by the awards ceremony in order to increase ratings. After all, last year's glorious record of "Titanic" has set an insurmountable peak, and no one work dominates this year, but the melee of five works is a big attraction.

After a brief greeting, everyone took their seats, and Tom Cruise looked left and right, turned his head sideways and whispered in Hugo's ear, "I heard at the Screen Actors Guild yesterday that Shakespeare is going to the top." Tom was afraid that there were people around, and his voice was very quiet and very concise.

Hugo was stunned for a second before reacting, and then gently outlined the corners of his mouth and showed a smile, "It seems that they are bound to win." "Actually, for the past two months, this has been the voting time of the academy judges, and the whole Hollywood is very lively. Even Hugo hid in remote Lanches, he heard a lot of rumors, which shows that the momentum of "Shakespeare's love history" is huge.

Tom originally wanted to ask Hugo for confirmation, after all, because of Nicole's relationship, he must be on the camp of "Truman's world", but Hugo's answer made Tom stunned, this news does not sound good. Hugo didn't let Tom continue to think about it, and patted him on the shoulder, "The countdown is over." ”

Tom then gathered up his trivial thoughts and focused on the upcoming awards ceremony.

Soon, the 71st Oscars kicked off, Whoopi Goldberg appeared on the stage elegantly in the gorgeous court costume of Elizabeth I under the watchful eye, she painted her whole face white, but kept her still black hands, that appearance really made people laugh, just one appearance, made the scene burst into laughter.

This year's Elizabeth I was in the limelight, not only with a self-rotating movie that made Cate Blanchett shortlisted for the queen of the film race; and also appeared in "Shakespeare's Love History", and Elizabeth I, played by Judi Dench, also became a topic of conversation. So, Whoopi opened the evening with the gesture of Elizabeth I.

After a short hilarious opening, the awards ceremony quickly kicked off, and the first award was awarded, and the Best Supporting Actress award was chosen without any surprises. This award has enough weight and will not break the most important suspense of the award ceremony, so it is almost customary to be placed in the first place.

Last year's Best Supporting Actor winner, Robin Williams, took to the stage and expertly opened with his humor. In fact, tonight's Best Supporting Actress award is quite a suspenseful award, because according to convention, this department is more often to reward young new actresses - such as Charlize last year, but the three favorites for this year's awards are all veteran actors over 50 years old, and the only two "two" actors have a slightly weaker voice, so the final Oscar choice is also intriguing.

"The winner of the 71st Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress is......" Robin also seemed to realize the importance of this award, stretched out the end note, and then looked carefully at the card in his hand, and then said solemnly, "Judi Dench, 'Shakespeare's love history'." ”
