This is the task of Hugo and Christopher today, to advocate for Hollywood to produce more works that reflect social issues, and shoulder their social responsibilities.

Christopher was a victim of personal experience, and it is a great irony that after his crash, there was a lot of news and many media outlets swore that he had passed away. The same is true of Hugo, who single-handedly made two works, "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Row Walk", which not only shook the lofty status of the uncrowned king, but also made the whole society realize that the current society is sick.

Therefore, it is really fitting that Christopher and Hugo will jointly serve as special guests in this link.

When Hugo once again methodically unlocked the fixed pillar of the wheelchair, everyone in the audience gave a standing ovation again, and gave Christopher a high tribute with the most blazing applause. Amid thunderous applause, Hugo pushed Christopher off the stage and ended their mission.

Back on the side stage, Susan Sarandon and Robin Williams greeted them, both of whom greeted Christopher warmly, and it was clear that they should have been acquaintances.

Hugo only had time to say hello to Susan, and Susan had to leave, because she was going to be the guest of honor on stage, she gave Hugo a veneer and said with a smile, "I hope I will be your goddess of luck." Then Hugo, left confused, walked onto the stage.

Hugo and Robin pushed Christopher back to the dressing table, and Dinah was already standing there waiting, "Dear Dinah, I hope what I just said can satisfy you." Hugo said with a smile, which made several people around him chuckle.

Dinah imprinted a kiss on Hugo's cheek, "Your appearance is perfect, although it's still a little worse than Chris." This made everyone around smile even bigger.

Hugo originally wanted to talk to Robin and Christopher, but the staff came over and patted Hugo on the shoulder, signaling that he should go back to his seat first, because Hugo is an important protagonist tonight. The director has been unable to scan Hugo in the seat, which is not good for the ratings.

Hugo could only say a brief goodbye to everyone, and then left the backstage.

During the time when Hugo was busy just now, the awards ceremony was already halfway through, and each award had found its own owner.

In the race for the best sound award, "Apollo 13" defeated "Batman Forever", "Seven Deadly Sins", "Braveheart", "Red Tide Storm (Crimson). tide)" and "Future Water World", which had the last laugh in this fierce award.

The award for Best Original Song went to "Pocahonta", and the theme song sung by Bruce Springsteen for "Death Row Walk" unfortunately failed; The Best Drama Score Award fell into the hands of "Postman", which broke out a big upset, especially the shocking failures of "Sense and Sensibility" and "Brave Heart"; In the Best Musical Comedy Score Award, the nominated "Before Sunrise" failed to cause an upset, and "Pocahonta" won without any suspense.

However, the best foreign language film broke out again, and the big hits "The Postman" and "Classroom Love" failed to win, but the unobtrusive Dutch film "Antonia" won the small Best Picture award with extremely fierce competition.

In the technical category, "Braveheart" won Best Sound Editing and Best Makeup, while "Baby Pig" went to "Pig Baby" for Best Visual Effects.

The Best Film Editing Award, which is thought to be the going of Best Picture, ushered in the hottest competition, with "Seven Deadly Sins", "Pig Baby", "Braveheart", "Red Tide Storm", and "Apollo 13" all having their own advantages and disadvantages, but in the end, it was "Apollo 13", which was in the lead in the nomination stage, who had the last laugh.

Halfway through the award ceremony, the whole situation gradually became clear, and the "Seven Deadly Sins" who received four nominations all failed, and they did not win one award, and they were the first to go out. Although this film relied on its strong social influence and achieved an incredible counterattack in the nomination stage, it was trapped by the theme of the work itself, as well as the inferiority of the overall completion and excavation, and the result was still not able to go closer. "Pig Baby", who was not nominated for acting, was completely defeated in the technical department, and only won one Best Visual Effects Award, which is basically certain to have fallen behind.

In the main competitive landscape, "Brave Heart" holds three small golden figures in the leading position for the time being; Apollo 13 also had two statuettes on the books, and both awards were won against direct rival Braveheart, which made the competition even more intense.

However, in addition, the other main contenders are still in the competitive team, the two statuettes in the acting department, the two statuettes in the script department, the director department, and the best picture are still in a fierce fight, "Braveheart" and "Apollo 13" are still inseparable, "Reason and Emotion" still have a chance to turn over at the last moment, and works such as "Death Row Walk", "Before Sunrise", "Away from Las Vegas", "Postman" and other works are still competitive.

It can be said that the first half was just a warm-up, and the real excitement was in the second half.

When Hugo returned to his position, Susan was introducing the shortlist of works on stage, and Hugo whispered hello to Charlize and Meryl, and looked at Kevin Spacey in the back row, and the two of them smiled at each other. Then Hugo sat down, and then he noticed that it turned out that Susan was in charge of the award for the best original screenplay today, no wonder Susan would say that she hoped she was Hugo's goddess of luck, because Hugo won a place in this department.

The excellent screenplay of "Before Sunrise" led Hugo to join the screenwriting department for the second year in a row, competing with such titles as "The Usual Suspects", "Braveheart", "Nixon Biography" and "Toy Story".

There is no doubt that this is one of the most competitive departments, especially because of Hugo's participation, which makes the pattern even more chaotic, the strength of the top five works is close, and there is no absolute advantage of the works, it can be said that every work has the possibility of winning.

Eventually, Susan opened the envelope and smiled meaningfully to the audience, but Hugo saw a hint of regret in Susan's big bright eyes. Sure enough, Susan opened her mouth and announced, "The winner of the 68th Academy Awards, Best Original Screenplay, is, 'Very Suspect', Christopher McCauley. mcquarrie）。 ”

Hugo smiled at the man who had created the "Public. The Sundance Jury Prize-winning independent filmmakers applauded, Christopher is very young, even a year younger than Hugo, but has shown outstanding independent film talent over the past three years.

"The Usual Suspect" unexpectedly received outstanding recognition at the Oscars, only receiving two nominations for Best Supporting Actor and Best Original Screenplay, but he had the last laugh in both awards, and hit every shot! Moreover, it is a great feat to defeat Hugo, who has a good reputation, in both departments.

It was only then that people realized that Hugo, who had been in the spotlight before the awards ceremony, had both failed in the two current nominations, which was definitely not a good thing, and the result clearly proved to everyone the fact that Hugo's vote distribution crisis had reached an unprecedented high!

After the Oscar nominations were released, Hugo can be said to be infinitely beautiful, comparable to Emma Thompson, who was nominated five times in four years, and has also become another outstanding artist after Emma who can win nominations in both acting and screenwriting departments.

In the history of the Oscars, no one has yet been able to achieve the two departments of acting and screenwriting at the same time, and Woody Allen, who was once the closest to this goal, has not been able to do it, and now Woody has shifted more energy to the director position, and there is very little acting, so the most likely candidates to break this record have become the current Emma and Hugo.

This is definitely a rare record.

In fact, Hugo has super strength in Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, and Best Original Screenplay, from an objective theoretical point of view, Hugo has the strength to win awards in the three departments, "Death Row Walk" and "Seven Deadly Sins" Needless to say, and the original script department that participated in "Before Sunrise" also benefited from the previous "Reason and Emotion" that was divided into the adapted script department, and then received a lot of support. Sensitivity and delicacy undoubtedly carry forward the creative art of the script, and relying entirely on lines to drive the framework structure of the story has given screenwriters countless inspirations.

As a result, Hugo's call for awards in all three categories has reached an unprecedented high.

But things must be opposed, this is the iron law of nature, when Hugo has the strength to win awards in the three departments, the decision of the voting judges has become elusive, do all three departments vote for Hugo? This obviously doesn't work, it's too exaggerated and deliberate; None of the three departments voted for Hugo? Because considering that others will definitely give Hugo a vote, it is feasible to turn the vote into a favor vote for a friend; Choose one of the three departments? Or pick two? So how should you choose? At the same time, let Hugo dominate in the acting and screenwriting departments? Or is it one or the other?

Especially when some people insist on voting in one of the departments and choose someone else in the other two...... The choice of more than 5,000 judges can derive countless possibilities, and the vote-sharing crisis has reached its peak, and the most direct possibility is that Hugo will return empty-handed.

This is also the reason why whenever there are double nominations and three nominations at the award ceremony, people will think that the infinite scenery of the nomination stage will often lead to nothing at the award ceremony.

Now, step by step, this terrifying possibility is becoming a reality: Best Supporting Actor, lost; Best Original Screenplay, Lost; So, what about Best Actor?
