The opening two awards, one each for "L.A. Confidential" and "Mindcatcher", also seem to indicate that the competition will be particularly fierce tonight. However, the trend of the next technical awards overturned this prediction, and the "Titanic" swept with a devastating trend.

In fact, it shouldn't come as a surprise that, while "L.A. Confidential," "Mindcatcher," and "Perfect" have been acclaimed, all three of them are representative of retro scriptwriting, and their advantage in the technical department is already very slim, and even less than that compared to their competitors.

"Titanic" was able to lead strongly in the nomination stage, and the sweeping of the technical department was the decisive factor, even if it won three nominations for Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Supporting Actress, it did not have an advantage in these three departments. The frenzied wave of this work in North America is due to the qualitative leap in the Hollywood industry led by visual effects. Therefore, the technical department is the field where the "Titanic" shows its strengths.

This is also evidenced by the results of the award ceremony.

The technical awards for Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Costume Design, Best Sound, Best Sound Editing, and Best Visual Effects were all rolled out, and the only thing that slipped through the net was the Best Makeup Award, which was won by the "Men in Black" - the alien makeup effect in the movie was highly acclaimed.

In addition, the Best Original Song Award was also won by "Titanic"; In the best soundtrack category, the drama category was won by "Titanic", and the musical comedy category was won by "Six Heroes of Light Pigs".

"Titanic" won a big win in the technical awards also revealed a key message: no matter who wins the best picture, it is certain that the academy has truly affirmed the contribution of computer special effects to the film industry, and the "Titanic", which has made brilliant achievements after "Independence Day", has become an indispensable member of Hollywood, and computer special effects are bound to become an important piece of the puzzle in the future film development map.

Now, the big question is: how important does the college think this piece of the puzzle is? Is it important enough to use the best picture to declare a new era for the film industry? Is it important to make the "Titanic" change the dynasty with a monopoly sweep?

In the case of realizing that the footsteps of history are approaching, this also makes the audience's blood boil more and more. At this moment, more than 50 million viewers in the United States have begun to watch the Oscars, which is not only the first time in history that the live broadcast of the Oscars has exceeded 50 million in average ratings, but also the average viewership has exceeded 54 million, and it is still increasing, undoubtedly becoming the highest rated awards ceremony in film history, and the attention and popularity have become the highest in history.

It is worth mentioning that the "Six Heroes of the Light Pig" finally won a little golden man, and four of the five nominees for Best Picture have been affirmed, only "Perfect" still has no movement, which seems to imply that this slightly controversial work among film critics is still subject to the weakening of the director's skills after all, and temporarily falls behind in the ultimate showdown, and the advantage is constantly being eroded.

This is not good news for Hugo, because as a "perfect" screenwriter, his chances of winning in the Best Original Screenplay category are weakening, and the battle for Best Director and Best Picture is far behind. This is the award ceremony, there is only one winner, so if there is a winner, there must be a loser, the cruel and simple truth.

In this way, after more than half of the awards ceremony, the "Titanic" led the way with eight trophies, which completely changed the entire award pattern tonight in one fell swoop. Ended with the "Titanic" sweeping all the way? Competitors such as "L.A. Confidential" only struggled briefly and then gave up resistance?

But then the Oscars gave another surprise, and the long-dormant "L.A. Confidential", "Perfect" and "Soul Catcher" in the first half once again regained their advantage, because the screenwriting department was about to stage the ultimate showdown, and before the screenwriting awards, there was also the final award in the technical category, the Best Film Editing award, which was also a key award that determined the direction of Best Picture.

The winner of the Best Film Editing category is undoubtedly "Titanic", and the other four nominees "L.A. Confidential", "Soul Catcher", "Perfect" and "Air Force One" have absolutely no problems with their strength, but the overall momentum is a little weaker. In particular, the "Six Heroes of Light Pigs", who entered the competition for best film, actually lost the award, which also made the competition even more intense.

Just when everyone thought that the next story would end with the "standard ending" of "Titanic" winning strongly, a completely different name came out of the stereo - "Los Angeles Confidential"!

In an instant, everyone in the audience was in a sensation, and the sacred auditorium, which had been silent for nearly two hours, went crazy again, compared to the "Titanic" sweeping thousands of troops, although it was exciting, but after all, there was still a trace of surprise, but now the victory of "L.A. Confidential" has brought the suspense back to reality, making people clearly aware that the competition for Best Picture has not yet settled!

What's more, the best film editing is known as the "little best film", because it tests the comprehensive scheduling ability, editing style, and rhythm control of a movie, and often the best film and the best film editing are awarded in a package. Now, the "Titanic", which won eight trophies in a row, has unexpectedly failed, and on the contrary, its most formidable competitor "Los Angeles Confidential" has successfully won, which makes the predictions of all media reporters have to be rewritten.

"L.A. Confidential" once again earned its place in the fierce competition with its absolute quality, adding to the suspense of the Best Picture race, and the next awards show that. The script department that was awarded immediately afterwards had nothing to do with "Titanic", and James Cameron could only be a spectator, trying to figure out some trends about the best picture from the context of the winners.

"L.A. Confidential" has almost no rivals in the best adapted screenplay, the script of this work has been unanimously praised by professionals, and the really fierce competition in the script department is concentrated in the original section, which makes "L.A. Confidential" overwhelmingly beat the other four contenders, and won the third golden man tonight - and the weight of the three trophies is extraordinary: Best Supporting Actress, Best Film Editing, Best Adapted Screenplay, even if the number is not comparable to "Titanic". The quality is enough to give this work the ability to win the best picture.

The suspense rises sharply! Is it really as Billy said, "L.A. Confidential" is going to become an iceberg?

Brian Hellgrande, who took the stage to accept the award, almost couldn't cry, he has been rolling in Hollywood for ten years, but he has never been able to achieve outstanding results, but he did not expect that this time "L.A. Confidential" has achieved such brilliant results, and it has unconsciously become the peak of his career.

Leonardo couldn't help but elbow Hugo, and then gently raised his chin and pointed at Brian on the stage, as if to say, "It'll be your turn in a moment." Hugo was speechless for a while, and directly gave Leonardo a roll of his eyes, which made Leonardo laugh, but even Jack, who was sitting on the other side, whispered into Hugo's ear, "It's up to you now." This made Hugo speechless for a while, this group of bad friends!

Hugo couldn't help but roll his eyes, but his palms were still slightly slippery. The sense of urgency that rushed from all directions made him let out a long breath, as if he wanted to exhale all the dull breath that had accumulated in his chest, but even so, he could still feel the heavy pressure on his eardrums.

Unlike the previous competition for acting awards, and also different from the previous "before sunrise" competition for the script award, today Hugo feels that everything is very strange, there is an indescribable abnormality. Everything was normal, and he was much calmer than the previous times, although he was still a little nervous, but he didn't panic again, and the most important thing was that his mind seemed to be much calmer, but Hugo always felt that something was not right, and he couldn't express his special feelings.

This made Hugo take another deep breath and force himself to focus on the stage.

Compared with the "experienced" Hugo, Ben Affleck's state at this time can be described as bad, in fact, Brian is still giving an acceptance speech, at least one or two minutes before the original screenplay award is awarded, but the anxiety in his heart has made Ben unable to sit at all, as if there is a hedgehog on the chair, so he can't help but start to adjust himself, moving left and right several times, but he still feels wrong, and even feels even more strange, as if his body is crawling with ants, The restlessness made Ben barely aware of the sweat that slowly seeped from his forehead.

"This award is for me and Matt! This award is mine...... This award is mine! It's mine! It's mine! Ben kept repeating this sentence in his head, trying to calm down his irritability, but even he didn't realize it, he had said it directly, although it was only a vague whisper, but it made Simon Beufuyi, who was sitting next to him, cast a stunned and weird expression?-Matt sat in the male lead candidate area, and next to Ben sat Simon, another candidate for the original script, which made Simon's nervous mood relax a little.

Best Original Screenplay! This year's second most competitive award is second only to Best Picture, and the Writers Guild of America chose "Perfect" and "L.A. Confidential"; The Golden Globe chose the "soul catcher", so what is the choice of the Oscars?
