Charlize only felt that her muscles were tense to the extreme, as if they were about to explode in the next second, and this feeling made her only feel that her throat was already hot, even if she swallowed saliva, it would not help.

Charlize subconsciously looked to the side, trying to find Hugo's figure, maybe seeing Hugo's mocking smile, she could return to normal. But the faces on the left and right were a little blurry, and although she wasn't sure who they were - her mind was completely blank, she knew that none of them were Hugo.

Through the thicket of figures, Charlize caught a glimpse of a hazy gaze, which seemed to carry a hint of schadenfreude in his warm eyes, "Look at how nervous you are, it's really bad", that gaze was not obvious in the dim light and dense crowd, only faintly noticed. But Charlize knew that it was him, it was Hugo, and the sneering and ridiculous eyes were him, which made the smile on the corner of Charlize's mouth inexplicably outlined, and she just wanted to give Hugo a middle finger.

Jack Nicholson walked onto the stage, looking at Jack's old naughty smile, Charlize's tight shoulders began to relax inexplicably, and let out a long exhale, and actually regained her calm, unprecedented calm, as if she was just a bystander, and had nothing to do with these awards, and there was no one in the list of nominees on the big screen - that bad special makeup really didn't look like herself. Thinking of this, Charlize actually felt a little happy, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined.

However, the relaxation of the brain is not synchronized with the body, because Charlize can still feel the stiffness of the muscles in his body and can barely move, which is really a bit weird, which makes Charlize begin to think seriously: If I don't win the award, forget it, if I win the award, but I can't get up in place, isn't it a shame to throw home?

Jack stood on the stage, and after introducing the candidates, he looked in the direction of Hugo, grinning, and seemed to say, "Well, are you nervous?" ”

In fact, Hugo was really nervous at this time, even more nervous than he himself was being a candidate. The muscles of his body were like a rock, and he couldn't move at all, and all the thoughts in his brain became a mess. He had just turned his head to laugh at Charlize's stiffness, but at this time he was the real dumbfounder, and he couldn't even smile.

Because Hugo knew, "Female." What does the work "The Adversary" mean to Charlize, if you miss this time, no one knows when the next time will be; According to the trajectory of history, it was Gwyneth who won in the end because of "Shakespeare's love history". So, Hugo was nervous, he was more nervous than anyone. The hesitation between the known and the unknown almost suffocated him.

Even Tom, who was sitting next to him, sensed Hugo's tightness, he patted Hugo's arm lightly, and asked with his eyes, "Are you okay?" Hugo only felt that his head was like a rusty robot, and it was extremely difficult to even turn his head, and finally pulled out a smile that was more ugly than crying, which made Tom stunned and amused.

"Let's skip those tedious phases, I know that everyone cares a lot about the outcome in my hands, in fact, I'm more curious than all of you, so ......" Jack waved the red envelope in his hand, "I won't create suspense anymore, lest everyone suffer, I'm also curious here and I'm going to have a heart attack." Jack's humor made the audience laugh.

Gwyneth was laughing, too, but her smile was completely different from that of the rest of the audience, she was greeting her little golden figure with a smile, as if the queen was smiling on the throne and accepting the worship of her subjects, that confident and elegant smile, as if measured with a ruler, perfect like a mask.

Gwyneth wasn't nervous at all, on the contrary, she was completely relaxed, because she was mentally simulating the posture of herself on stage, a moment for the world to see, to show her best and then gracefully go on stage. She had even begun to think about how she would take the golden figure from Jack, how she would walk to the microphone, how she would show her excitement, and how she would give her acceptance speech......

Acceptance speech, yes. Gwyneth quietly put her right hand on the chair and placed the small soaked note in her palm on the crack of the chair - she would never go on the stage with the note of the acceptance speech, that would be too embarrassing, not to mention, she had memorized the acceptance speech countless times, and it would not be wrong.

Gwyneth thought about it again and was relieved to make sure everything was perfect. Looking up, Gwyneth saw that Jack was looking down at the card in the envelope, and she adjusted her breathing to redraw that confident and calm smile: she was ready to go on stage to accept the award!

Jack looked down at the card in his hand, nodded his head with a look of research, and then said into the microphone, "Very good, I know the answer, so now, we can start small talk." This sentence made everyone laugh at the scene, and Charlize was also laughing, but she found that her "body" did not react at all, and her facial expression was completely stiff, which made Charlize a little frustrated - this body was also too stiff to speak.

Jack raised the card in his hand, "The 71st Academy Awards, the winner of Best Actress is ......" Jack looked down at the audience waiting for the results under the stage, and showed a big smile, "Charlize Theron, 'female." Adversary'. ”

"Boom", Hugo only felt that all the thoughts in his mind exploded, and he couldn't help but clench the fists of his hands, venting his inner joy and happiness heartily. Many people around stood up one after another and began to applaud to congratulate, but there was a sound of surprise in the applause, "Huh? ”

Hugo looked up and found that his eyes were blocked by the crowd, and he looked back at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and saw that the expressions of the two were also a little unpredictable. Hugo immediately stood up and looked in the direction where Charlize was. But Hugo saw Gwyneth at first sight.

Gwyneth took two steps forward, her hands on the hem of her dress, a perfect smile on her face, and the camera captured the scene as if she were the winner. But after taking two steps, Gwyneth realized that everyone around her was looking at her in surprise, and before she had time to think, Bob walked up quickly, stood beside Gwyneth, and almost squeezed out a voice from between her teeth, "It's not you!" ”

Gwyneth was struck by lightning and couldn't react at all. Then Gwyneth, like a Barbie doll, turned her head to the left-hand side under Bob's control, and applauded blankly, as if she had just stepped forward to congratulate the real winner for a better perspective.

At this time, Charlize sat in his chair and did not react at all, completely stunned. Meryl, who was sitting next to her, patted Charlize on the arm, then gave her a big hug, reminding her in her ear, "Congratulations, honey, your performance is really amazing!" ”

Charlize's wandering soul returned to his body, but his muscles were stiff and unable to move, which made Charlize curse in his heart, and said self-deprecatingly, "Now it's okay, you're like a fool, so excited that you can't help yourself, and then you are seen by everyone." Perfect, so perfect! ”

Charlize finally came to her senses, gave Meryl a hug, and then stood up. But the first attempt was unsuccessful, and the whole person sat down again, which caused the hall to burst into good-natured laughter, and Charlize himself laughed out loud without figuring it, and stood up again.

After taking two steps forward, Gwyneth stepped forward and gave Charlize a hug. Charlize was confused—she apparently hadn't noticed the little episode that had just happened. Gwyneth obviously came back to her senses at this time, and was trying to hide her rudeness in this way, but her stiff expression, indifferent movements, and distorted eyes revealed the truest emotions in her heart.

She, lost.

The award for Best Actress went to Charlize, not her. She could hardly believe such a fact, but when she looked back at Bob and Harvey, their faces full of disbelief were like defeated roosters, which completely destroyed the last line of defense in Gwyneth's heart, "No! That's not true! It shouldn't be like this! It should be me who won the award, and I should have taken the little golden man and mocked Hugo fiercely at the Oscar night! Then I watched Hugo's arrogant expression become embarrassed! ”

Charlize had taken another step, leaving Gwyneth and Bob behind, stumbling onto the stage to take the golden man from Jack. Jack gave Charlize a big hug and said in her ear, "It's an honor to be able to present you with this award." ”

Charlize only felt as if he was stepping on a cloud, the thunderous applause in front of him was a succession, and after a long time, everyone had already stood up, and the black oppression made it look like an endless ocean under the stage lights, surging and boiling with bright light, so beautiful that it was not real, like a dream that would never wake up, and his feet could not step on the ground at all, only a piece of nothingness. Then, Charlize saw Hugo's eyes in the crowd, that warm and hot gaze, which was flashing with crystal tears, staring at himself motionlessly, and that happiness was like an electric shock, rushing from the soles of his feet to the top of his head, so that Charlize finally came to his senses completely.

It happened, it all happened, she won the Oscar for Best Actress, she won the second golden man in her career, and won the new actress!
