The 71st Academy Awards has come to an end, and now only the last four statuettes have not been awarded, and the heavyweight four statuettes will draw an end to the long and surging 1998. However, at this time, no one can predict the next trend of the awards.

"Saving Private Ryan" won Best Film Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Sound, and Best Sound Editing, while "Shakespeare in Love" won three trophies: Best Supporting Actress, Best Art Direction, and Best Costume Design, and "Truman's World" also won Best Original Screenplay and Best Musical Comedy Score.

"The Thin Red Line" has not been collected so far, especially after missing the best adapted screenplay, it was officially declared outdated; "Life is Beautiful" won two awards for Best Foreign Language Film and Best Drama Score, and although it still retains the hope of competing for Best Picture, according to convention, Best Foreign Language Film is equivalent to Best Picture - Best Film in the non-English range, so it will not "win again".

This also means that the three works of "Saving Private Ryan", "Shakespeare's Love History" and "Truman's World" will compete, and the award trend of Best Director, Best Actor, and Best Actress will determine the ownership of the best picture!

The Best Director Award for the first time is actually the most suspenseful award tonight. Although the five nominees are all extraordinary, Roberto Bernini of "Life is Beautiful", John Madden of "Shakespeare in Love", Terrence Malick of "The Thin Red Line", and Peter Weir of "Truman's World" are all shortlisted for Best Picture and Best Film Editing.

But the long shot of Normandy at the beginning of "Saving Private Ryan" is a classic in film history, which has won Steven numerous praises, even before December, the momentum of "Truman's World" cannot shake Steven's momentum of winning the second Best Director statuette; Later, after the strong rise of "Shakespeare in Love", Steven still rode the dust during the awards season.

From the Directors Guild of America Awards to the Golden Globe Awards, from the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association to the National Board of Critics, from the Los Angeles Film Critics Association to the New York Film Critics Association, the best director has all gone to Steven Spielberg! It was hard for several other contenders to shake Steven's lead.

It can be said that the Best Director Award is even an award that is not in suspense than the Best Original Screenplay Award. But...... There have been so many surprises tonight, including the unexpected rise and exit of "Shakespeare in Love", including the incomprehensible winner of multiple awards, which has completely perpetuated the chaos of the awards season. So, until the answer is announced, no one can be sure that Steven is on the safe side.

However, this time there were no surprises, and Steven continued his strong performance throughout the awards season and won the Best Director award!

When Robert Redford announced that the winner was "Steven Spielberg, 'Saving Private Ryan,'" the audience was in a stir — last year's award winner, James Cameron, refused to attend this year's ceremony on the grounds that he was filming — and everyone stood up and paid tribute to the director who has been in Hollywood for two decades.

Hugo gave Steven a warm hug and patted him on the back as soon as possible, "You deserve it!" Steven winked at Hugo, revealing a hint of cunning, and then walked onto the stage to receive his second golden man.

"Saving Private Ryan" has distanced himself even further, and is currently leading the awards ceremony with five statuettes, which also makes the award for Best Actress next to be presented crucial.

In fact, the Best Actress award department is not directly related to Best Picture, because only Gwyneth of "Shakespeare in Love" was nominated for the award, and none of the other four Best Picture nominees were nominated for the award, as if the "thin red line" was in the pattern of the best adapted screenplay - this should be Gwyneth's bag.

If "Shakespeare's Love History" wins the award, then as long as the best actor is not won by Tom Hanks of "Saving Private Ryan", the final award will still remain in suspense; But if "Shakespeare's Love History" follows in the footsteps of the "thin red line" and misses out on the award, then it can be announced in advance that its hopes of winning the Best Picture award have been reduced to less than 20 percent.

But this is clearly not an easy task, and even before the ceremony, no one can say for sure who will win the award for Best Actress.

This year's five nominees can be said to be strong, but not good.

"Elizabeth" Cate Blanchett, who won the Golden Globe Award for drama actress and won the favor of the Chicago Film Critics Association; Grand Central Terminal's Fairlanda-Montenegro is the queen of the New Coberlin Film Festival and has won the hearts of the San Diego Film Critics Association and the Boston Film Critics Association.

Meryl Streep, who is "priceless", naturally has a lot to say about her prestige, and the National Review Association even because of whether the Best Actress Award should be awarded to Meryl or "Female." Charlize of the "Devil" had a serious dispute, and in the end it was a stalemate, and he simply awarded the title of actress to Cameron Diaz, who was "crazy for Mary", which made people laugh and cry. In addition, Meryl has also received awards from the San Francisco Film Critics Association and the Southeast Film Critics Association.

Gwyneth of "Shakespeare in Love" can be said to be the last, relying on a strong public relations strategy, first won the Los Angeles Film Critics Association award, and then had the last laugh at the Golden Globe Awards, and has become an indispensable member of the nomination list in many film critics associations, and her reputation even exceeds that of other competitors.

However, throughout the awards season, the consistent favorite should be "female." The Adversary" is Charlize. Just like Steven for Best Director, "Truman's World" for Best Original Screenplay, "Female." After the release of "The Adversary", Charlize's performance can be said to have received rave reviews, and many film critics even walked into the cinema for the second or third time to watch her performance, and each time they were amazed again.

Many people believe that even if Charlize won the actress last year, she deserves to be re-elected this year - which shows that people respect her. What's more, Charlize only won the Best Supporting Actress Golden Man last year, so in the case of the overwhelming popularity of "Shakespeare's Love History", Charlize still became the number one seed in the competition for the queen of the awards season, and has signed her name to the title of Best Actress at the North American Broadcast Film Critics Association Awards, the Screen Actors Guild Awards, the New York Film Critics Association Awards, the Independent Spirit Awards and other large and small award ceremonies.

But the strongest people are often not the ones who have the last laugh at the awards ceremony, and this is especially true this year. Charlize led the first half of the awards season, was overtaken by Gwyneth in the second half, and even fell behind Fairlanda after the Oscar nominations were announced-

"Grand Central Station", which is considered a classic of film history, only received two nominations: Best Foreign Language Film and Best Actress. The comprehensive strength of "Grand Central Station" is undoubtedly far greater than that of "female." The devil", but this work was not able to be affirmed by the Oscars, but was robbed of its style by "Beautiful Life". Therefore, during the voting stage, many people thought that Fairlanda should be given recognition as a way to reward the excellence of "Grand Central Station".

Nominations rely on strength, and winning awards requires a little luck.

Now it seems that this year's luck is not with Charlize, but with Gwyneth and Fairlanda.

Last year's Oscar winner, Jack Nicholson, stepped onto the stage under the spotlight. When Gwyneth saw Jack's figure, her first reaction was to clench Bob's arm, and even burst into bruises because she was too hard, but at this time Bob was as nervous as Gwyneth, so he subconsciously held Gwyneth's arm, and the brave strength made Gwyneth feel pain.

Gwyneth quickly broke free of Bob's restraints and cast a fierce gaze, as if accusing Bob of being rude. Bob also realized his gaffe, and he quickly calmed himself down, but he realized that the whole awards season's efforts depended on this moment, so his mood was still a mess. Bob looked Gwyneth in the eye and said firmly, "Don't worry, nothing went wrong, nothing went wrong!" ”

It's convincing Gwyneth as well as convincing himself.

Gwyneth looked at Bob in a daze, there were so many accidents tonight that she was still in shock. However, the light in Bob's eyes calmed her down, and she remembered that for the past three months, she had had an event to attend almost every other day, all in order to ascend to her throne tonight. Thinking of this, Gwyneth's confidence burst again, she believed in Bob, and even more in herself, that the efforts of the past three months would definitely not be in vain.

Gwyneth straightened her back and looked at the stage with the most graceful, perfect, and confident posture, looked at Charlize on her left, glanced contemptuously, and then raised her head high, ready to meet her own crown!

Plop, plop...... The sound of the heartbeat became louder and louder, hitting the eardrum like a drumstick, which made all the noise around it completely disappear, as if he had seen the picture of himself holding the little golden man in his hand, and the stunned and embarrassed faces of Hugo and Charlize were so vivid under the stage, the kind of victory that was within reach made Gwyneth's face bloom with a magnificent light, and it was impossible to take your eyes off.

The heart suddenly stopped, and time and space suddenly stopped in this second, becoming eternity. This is the moment when she ascended the throne and became the queen!
