Billy Crystal was lighthearted yet sarcastic in his seventieth birthday Oscars, and the first to take the stage was Cooper Gooding Jr., who won Best Supporting Actor last year and became the guest of honor for Best Supporting Actress this year.

When she saw little Cooper, Hugo turned her head and saw Charlize's stunned expression: obviously she didn't expect that the first award was really Best Supporting Actress, Charlize saw Hugo's playful smile in the corner of his eyes, and his slightly open mouth couldn't help but close again, grinding his teeth fiercely, glaring at Hugo, but instead made Hugo turn his head with a smile, leaving only the back of Charlize's head.

Charlize wanted to give Hugo a palm, but when he raised his hand, he found that his palm was completely soaked. As Hugo said, even if he has experienced such a process once, it is still difficult to control his inner tension and anxiety when he faces it again, "This is a moment that can never be used to." ”

Charlize took a deep breath to calm his beating heart, then took another deep breath, quietly hiding his nervousness, and looked at Cooper Jr.

"Actually, I'm a little unhappy standing here." Cooper Jr.'s humor was also well received, and he walked on stage to grab everyone's attention with just one sentence, "First, my work was not shortlisted for this award, and I strongly suspect that a certain screenwriter deliberately missed this part; Second, a screenwriter refused to star in his own work, and rumors say that I was unhappy and unhappy because I confessed to him and was rejected. ”

The whole scene became a sea of laughter, and Jack, who was sitting next to Hugo, tapped Hugo's arm hard, and he was very happy. Hugo looked at the little Cooper on the stage, with a helpless face, originally thought that Billy didn't embarrass him too much in the opening scene, and he could finally escape today - after all, the "Titanic" is the real momentum tonight, but he didn't expect that little Cooper was hiding here.

"Actually, I thought about the possibility, maybe, I mean, maybe, if the screenwriter was willing to write my character as a woman, maybe today I would be one of the five beautiful women sitting in the audience waiting for the results to be revealed." Little Cooper's ridicule made Hugo clap his hands and laugh, "But, thank God, the screenwriter didn't write it that way and avoided this disaster." The finalists were five beauty. A lady with outstanding sense and strength. ”

Cooper Jr. looked at the nominations in the Best Supporting Actress category, "We can see the elegant Ms. Stewart," Gloria Stewart is eighty-seven years old this year, "We can still feel the youthful Ms. Theron," and Charlize Theron is only twenty-two years old this year, "As for the other three ladies, they won't want me to announce those lovely and wonderful numbers," Julianne Moore didn't hold back for a moment, and just burst out laughing, fortunately, she used her right hand to cover her lips, "So, let's take a look at the big screen and watch them perform in the movie." ”

Although it was less than two minutes of rhetoric, Cooper Jr.'s performance was absolutely wonderful, continuing Billy's excellent performance in the opening stanza, giving people reason to expect more from tonight's Oscars.

In fact, the Best Supporting Actress award is also the first head-to-head showdown tonight, among the five nominees, Joan Cusack of "The Groom's Wrong Corner" and Julianne Moore of "Unruly Night" are generally considered to be escorts, in fact, objectively speaking, Julianne's performance is worthy of recognition, and the praise of "Unruly Night" is not inferior, but because the competitors are too strong, Julianne, who was nominated for the first time, naturally became a spectator.

The real competition is among the remaining three candidates, Minnie Drifer of "Soul Catcher", Charlize of "L.A. Confidential" and Gloria of "Titanic", and the competition between the three can be said to be white-hot. Needless to say, the works of the three actors belong to one of the most acclaimed works in the professional field in the past year, and the additional factors that can give the actors an award are absolutely outstanding, which also makes the Best Supporting Actress category the opening match of the best picture contender tonight!

Gloria and Minnie are both nominated for the first time in their careers, and Charlize is only nominated for the second time. Coupled with Julianne, who is also nominated for the first time, and Joan, who is nominated for the second time, it can be seen that the best supporting actress has always been a hotbed for rewarding new actresses, in contrast to the best supporting actor in the senior department, which is also the embodiment of the different requirements of the whole Hollywood for male actors and actresses - men are always getting older and more popular, and women are always getting younger.

Gloria worked hard, began to be active on the big screen in the thirties, and later chose to retire, until the late eighties did not appear on the big screen again as an elderly actor, this time in the "Titanic" also dedicated a very outstanding actor, many people think that this actress inherited from the golden age of Hollywood, absolutely worthy of a little gold man award, coupled with the momentum of the "Titanic", this is also Gloria's biggest bargaining chip.

Minnie and Charlize are actually quite similar, both of them first appeared on the big screen around 1994 and 1995, Minnie starred in works such as "The Four Brothers of Pride" and "007's Golden Eye", while Charlize relied on "Before Sunrise" and "Devil's Advocate" to be recognized, and even the age is very close - Minnie is 27 years old this year, only five years older than Charlize.

In addition, the works proposed by the two people at the award ceremony are also very similar, and the characters played by both of them are the only red flowers in a green leaf, which also plays an important role in the advancement of the whole story. What's even more interesting is that the work of the two people is also the biggest favorite in the Best Original Screenplay category, and the competition has already started in advance.

Objectively speaking, Minnie's performance in "Soul Catcher" did not have much surprise, and it was more based on the overall influence of the work to be shortlisted, while Gloria and Charlize both showed excellent performances in the work, and the award was definitely deserved; But the Best Supporting Actress department is used to rewarding young actresses, which gives Minnie and Charlize a slight advantage, and Julianne also has the absolute strength to be a "dark horse".

All of this makes the Best Supporting Actress full of suspense, especially before the awards ceremony, when the confrontation between traditionalists and reformists puts several productions completely on opposite sides, and no one is willing to back down in the face of the weight of making history.

The short film on the big screen was quickly played, and the air at the scene couldn't help but tense, and subtle sparks could be faintly seen.

Charlize sat in her position, her hands couldn't help but be gently closed, the beating speed of her heart slowed down, she thought back to what had happened in the recent period in her mind, she knew that she still had a long way to go on the road of acting, not to mention the rest, just the role of Erin Enos had to give almost all her efforts. Therefore, even if it is not hers tonight, she should not feel regret or sadness, because the future that belongs to her has just begun.

Thinking of this, Charlize couldn't help but look at the back of his head diagonally in front of him, at this time Hugo turned his head slightly sideways and said something to Leonardo, Leonardo turned his head to look at Charlize, and then gave a thumbs up, as if to cheer her on, which made Charlize's extremely nervous face can't help but lightly outline a smile.

"Whew, it's time to find out!" Little Cooper picked up the envelope in his hand and patted his right hand gently, looking like a hanger, but it made the tense atmosphere of the scene more and more tense.

Charlize felt a stir around her, and she couldn't help but turn her head to look, only to find that Minnie's smile had completely stiffened at this time, like a robot, and the muscles that were so tight that they could break at any time could be clearly felt through the evening dress. Charlize knew that she was not the only one who was nervous, and even Julianne and Gloria, who were sitting next to her, looked a little weird at this time, which made Charlize wonder: how bad was her expression?

Recalling Hugo's expression on the night of the previous awards ceremony, Charlize also felt inexplicably happy.

"The winner of the 70th Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress is ......" Cooper Jr. said loudly, showing a smug smile, and then gently opened the envelope in his hand, and everyone in the audience held their breath, especially the crew of "Los Angeles Confidential", "Soul Catcher", and "Titanic" - the first two of which were the most, and the suffocating tension made little Cooper couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, and his fingers trembled slightly.

Cooper Jr. glanced down, trying to keep his smile on his face, and then he glanced at Hugo—just a glance, and before Hugo had time to think about it, he heard Cooper Jr. say, "Charlize Theron, 'L.A. Confidential.'" ”

"Yay!" Hugo clenched his fist as if the winner was himself, then turned his head and hugged Leonardo hard, and the two of them hit each other on the back, the thumping sound made both of them almost vomit blood, but the smile on their faces completely bloomed.

Hugo turned his head, and then he saw Charlize sitting in a completely stunned position, and Robin Williams next to her gave her a big hug and helped her to her feet. But Charlize was still shocked, looking at the big stage in disbelief, taking that fluttering step, and unconsciously walked forward.

Charlize searched around in a daze, as if trying to find a focal point, and then in the crowd, she saw Hugo, her amber eyes full of excitement, telling her: she really won the award!
