The Al Bar was buzzing with activity today, which is a rare event for a rock 'n' roll bar, because there was nothing to be noted for rock tonight, and this night belonged to the Oscars. But today's Al Bar is overcrowded, and the entire bar is filled with people.

Meredith-Morris shouted, "Quiet, everyone! The award presenters are out! The loud shout silenced the noisy bar, and all the familiar faces around it were Melelelyn Dixon, Kayla Cole, Joshua Cranston, Liam Pinkman and Eli Casvi.

Obviously, after cheering for Hugo on the red carpet, the young volcanoes knew that they would not be able to enter to cheer for Hugo, so they gathered at the Al Bar to enjoy the night together.

Meredith involuntarily grabbed Melerin's right hand, and the muscles all over her body tensed, and the word "nervous" was clearly written on her face. However, Melerin was no better at this time, and she also took Meredith's hands with her backhand and tightened them, as if the air around her was tense.

Although they both firmly believe that Hugo can win the award, and they undoubtedly believe that the little golden figure should belong to Hugo, it is still unknown until Jessica Lange announces the results, which makes the adrenaline in their minds burst out in an instant, igniting a hot fire in their brains.

No one in the bar spoke again, even the beer in his hand was quietly placed on the table, only the thumping heartbeat slammed into the silence of the night, the rhythm of the heartbeat connecting everyone and making them a community, each eye glued to the TV screen, trying to burn a hole in the TV screen intently, lest he blink and miss the moment.

In an instant, Al Bar condensed.

The excitement of the Taylor family has settled down at this time, even the most naughty Jack III raised his head and looked at the screen motionlessly, in fact, he was tired at this time, and kept rubbing his sore eyes, little Jack came over and patted his son on the shoulder, "You should go to sleep, Teresa is already asleep." Little Jack pointed to his daughter, who had slept quietly in his wife's arms, and whispered to his son.

Jack III closed his mouth wide open, avoiding the danger of saliva sliding down directly, and tried to widen his eyes, "Dad, can't I go to sleep after watching this?" Uncle Hugo is about to take the stage......" At this point, Jack III caught a glimpse of the picture on the television screen, "Look, Uncle Hugo! ”

Little Jack couldn't help but cast his gaze, and at this time he was introducing the list of nominees, and it was Hugo on the screen.

As the nomination picture, Hugo's last scene in "Death Row Walk" comes out, where he is tied to the execution table and delivers his last words, which are deafening. But there is no part of Hugo telling lines in the picture, just watching the camera quietly.

This made little Jack stand up straight, and Michelle, who was about to leave with her daughter in her arms, couldn't help but stop her steps and turned her head to look at the TV screen.

The amber eyes looked calmly ahead, covered with a thin mist of water, making his eyes look like a pool of crystal clear spring water, but in the depths of this spring, there were countless emotions surging: bitterness, sadness, pain, fear, relief...... The intricate love rippled gently under his eyes, and the slightly trembling corners of his lips revealed the turbulence in his heart that was completely different from the surface. His body was fixed by the flowers, and he couldn't move a single bit, but his muscles couldn't help but tremble, as if they were spasms, and the subtle shaking made people feel his fear, and a kind of despair that penetrated deep into the bone marrow suddenly erupted.

is such a shot, without any dialogue, without any lines, and without any picture movement, it is such a simple shot to the extreme, but it makes every audience feel the tremor in the depths of their souls.

"Dad, I'm scared." Jack III hugged his father's calf, which made little Jack wake up, and he realized that his eyes were actually beginning to burst into tears, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes in a panic, bent down, hugged his son into his arms, and whispered, "Don't worry, it's just Uncle Hugo performing." ”

However, the soul-awakening performance was so shocking.

"Just let him stay, there's no more minutes anyway." Old Jack spoke, but only said a word, and then fell silent.

Old Jack could feel his heart pounding against his chest, the madness of which made him almost breathless, but he knew that Adam was the one who was really nervous compared to him. Old Jack turned his head to look over and saw that Adam's whole body was stiff in the rocking chair, and his muscles were completely tense, like a zombie.

Adam could feel his whole body trembling slightly at this time - like Hugo on the screen, but he was not afraid or afraid, but nervous, which made him a little confused, he never liked this feeling, but he couldn't control it. Adam took out the cigarette case from his pocket in a panic and tried to take a cigarette out of it, but his fingertips were trembling violently, and he couldn't get the cigarette out after three consecutive attempts, which made Adam throw the cigarette case directly to the ground in a rage, and the cigarette inside spilled out.

Adam thumped his thigh in frustration, hoping that his thigh muscles could calm down, the sudden pain calmed him down, and his eyes quickly looked at the big screen again, but the sudden tension made him hold his breath.

What exactly happened during the filming of "Death Row Walk", Adam knows better than anyone and he wants Hugo to win this award more than anyone else, and if his son misses this opportunity, he will not be disappointed, because he knows that Hugo is better than anyone, ten times better than those competitors, but he will be angry, angry more than anyone else.

However, tonight Hugo first missed the Best Supporting Actor award, and then missed the Best Original Screenplay award, this bad record made the Taylor family and the boiling of Al Bar gradually cool down, and no matter how surging hope was extinguished again and again, it also made the inner tension more urgent, and made the air more tense, as if one more second of persistence, it would all explode.

Compared to the people outside, the atmosphere in Dorothy Chandler's Hall at this time was really tense, and everyone couldn't help but hold their breath, as if the slightest cough would ignite a spark in the air, turning the whole scene into ruins.

Brad's back was already drenched with sweat, and he was even more nervous than when he announced Best Supporting Actor, and his heartbeat almost popped out of his throat. Brad is destined not to win the award tonight, he naturally does not want Hugo to win the award, as long as Hugo does not win the award tonight, then they are still tied, then the next development is still unknown, then he can still have strong confidence......

Gwyneth didn't bother to pay attention to Brad, and she kept praying in her heart: as long as it's not Hugo, as long as it's not Hugo...... Thinking of this, the urgency that swept through her heart made Gwyneth can't help but squeeze Brad's arm tightly, because Brad was also completely nervous, he didn't realize it, Gwyneth just kept pushing harder, harder.

Nicholas felt like he was about to throw up, obviously Jessica Lange was still talking on stage, but he felt that the sound of the whole world began to become distorted, as if in another time and space, even though he had barely eaten all day today, but the tumbling stomach still made his whole body spasm, but the muscles that were tense to the extreme stiffened again, and the strong conflict made him feel like he was about to explode.

The sound of the heart hitting his chest was so powerful and so violent that Nicholas suspected that the heart would break through the wall in the next second, and he had to grab the back of his chair, otherwise he didn't know if he would stand up and run like a madman. Nicholas felt as if his ass was on fire, he wanted to get up, rushed to the stage, and then snatched the little gold figure that should be his own from Jessica's hand, he only felt that the temperature of his ass was getting higher and higher, and the distance between him and the little gold man was getting closer and closer......

The mouth was dry, his heart was beating like a drum, his heart was burning like a fire, Hugo felt that his blood had begun to boil, and the feeling of tension that was slowly brewing seemed to have reached its limit at this moment, as if it would explode directly at any moment, and the green tendons behind his ears began to beat wildly, and the agitated temples seemed to be about to be unable to support the pressure, which made Hugo have to straighten his whole body, like a bow and arrow that has been pulled to the limit - with a little more strength, the bow and arrow will break.

It turned out that he was still so greedy after all, and he was still so eager after all, when the chaotic brain was tense to the extreme, Hugo woke up. But even so, his brain still couldn't control his body, so he could only sit stiffly in place, staring blankly at the stage.

Suddenly, there was a cold touch from his left hand, and Hugo's numb left hand could feel someone patting him gently, Hugo twisted his stiff neck, looked over, and then saw Charlize's slender and slender fingertips. Looking slowly up at that hand, Hugo saw Charlize's cheeks with a playful and teasing smile, as if to say, "It's your turn to be nervous......

This mocking smile made Hugo laugh, because he also realized that his wolf bèi was even more unbearable than Charlize just now, and that he was nominated for the third time in a row this year, and it was ridiculous that he was still suffering from such gains and losses. The stiff corners of his mouth gently outlined a smile, making Hugo slowly relax and ......

"The winner of the 68th Academy Award for Best Actor is ......" Jessica's voice came from the stage.
