2173. Chapter 2173 - 2173 Wonderful start

Tonight's Oscars are still star-studded, the "A Beautiful Mind" crew is sitting together, Hugo and Charlize are sitting together as a matter of course, Hugo's left hand side is Leonardo, and a little left is the "Sixth Sense" crew, the little guy Haley is sitting next to Leonardo, full of nervousness.

On the right hand side of the "A Beautiful Mind" crew is the "Green Miracle" crew, and Tom Hanks has once again been next to Hugo after last year. It's just that last year's "Saving Private Ryan" was an absolute favorite, and this year's "Green Miracle" is obviously not competitive enough.

The "Magnolia" crew sat on the other side of the aisle, and Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman came over to greet Hugo before the awards ceremony began. Hugo saw Paul Thomas Anderson again, the two of them stood next to each other and talked happily, if it weren't for the staff coming up to remind them that the awards ceremony was about to kick off, I was afraid that the two of them had no intention of stopping.

Tonight's Oscars once again ushered in old faces, Billy Crystal was the host of the awards ceremony for the seventh time, and when he took the stage, the first joke detonated the enthusiasm of the audience, "Hey, hey, hey, don't do it, I know, you see me, and you're going to be disappointed again, yes, I'm there again." But at least, I'm not as good as that gentleman. After saying that, Billy cast his gaze in the direction of Hugo, and then the director's live camera was aimed at Hugo, making Hugo appear on the big screen, and everyone in the audience burst into laughter.

In the midst of laughter, last year's winner of the Best Supporting Actor award, James Cobain, took the stage and kicked off tonight with the Best Supporting Actress award as usual.

In fact, the Best Supporting Actress award is undoubtedly one of the most competitive awards of the evening, with Angelina of "Soul Shifter" widely considered to be the favorite, while Charlize of "A Beautiful Mind" and Catherine Keener of "Puppet Life" have the ability to upset their rivals. In particular, Angelina's challenge to Charlize has become the biggest hot topic before the award ceremony, which has made people look forward to the trend of the awards.

However, when James revealed the answer, he surprised everyone, "The winner of the 72nd Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress is...... Toni Colette, 'The Psychic Sixth Sense' In an instant, the audience was in an uproar, it was not Angelina or Charlize, not even Catherine, but Tony!

It's not because Tony's strength is not strong enough, but because "The Sixth Sense" as a horror movie, the disadvantages are too obvious, and being able to win the nomination is a historic breakthrough, no one dares to imagine that "The Sixth Sense" can win the award, and this is true in any department. But now, the first award of the Oscars tonight broke out in an upset, making the trend of this awards year seem more and more unpredictable.

Charlize still hasn't been able to win for the third year in a row - in fact, winning the acting golden man for two consecutive years is already the pinnacle of Charlize's career, and the acclaimed reviews of this year's "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Law of the Cider House" have continued her strong performance. But...... Won the acting gold medal for three consecutive years? That's a lot for Charlize, who is not yet twenty-four years old.

When James's voice came out of the stereo, Charlize reacted even earlier than Hugo, showing a big smile - Charlize was almost not nervous tonight, and after James announced the results, she was not disappointed, but somewhat relieved, because if she ushered in such a career peak before the age of twenty-four, she might really lose the motivation to continue to work hard, and the road ahead will only become more and more difficult.

So, Charlize gave Toni a round of applause with a smile on his face, and Hugo immediately reacted, stood up, and gave Toni, who was standing there in disbelief, a big hug. By the time Toni stepped onto the stage, she had almost completely broken down and couldn't stop crying. From Australia to the United States, only she knows the hardships of this journey.

"Oh God, God......" Tony's slurred voice barely managed to organize sentences effectively, "Hugo Lancaster, I love you, I mean, I love you, but ......" Everyone in the scene was amused by Tony's gaffe, "Sally, I'm sorry." Toni laughed embarrassedly, crying and laughing, "I mean, Hugo, thank you for trusting me and giving me this opportunity to play Lynn, thank you." ”

Charlize played the role of Lynn in "L.A. Confidential" and won the first Oscar of her career as an actress; Toni played Lynn again in "The Sixth Sense", smoothly replicating Charlize's trajectory. This has also become a joke in Hollywood, and many screenwriters are saying that it is better to change the name of their heroine to "Lynn".

Of course, this is just a joke. "The Sixth Sense" unexpectedly won the first golden figure tonight, kicking off the 72nd Oscars.

For Angelina, this is terrible news, she led the whole awards season strongly, but in the end she missed her first statuette, and even worse, the work that had the last laugh was still made by Hugo, which made Angelina have no way to hide her depression and anger, she just left her seat, used the bathroom as an excuse, and disappeared from the camera.

But for Hugo, it was a wonderful opening, and he had thought about such a possibility, but it was still difficult to describe the joy in his heart when it actually happened. He was genuinely happy for Tony, and even though she defeated Charlize, he thought it was what Tony deserved.

Before the surprise of Best Supporting Actress dissipated, the Best Supporting Actor award came, and Ms. Judi Dench walked onto the stage gracefully and magnificently, and Hugo heard Leonardo's breathing almost immediately.

As soon as Hugo turned his head, he saw Leonardo, whose face was flushed because he was too nervous, which made Hugo really laugh, and he chuckled without holding back. Leonardo twisted his stiff head and looked at Hugo in annoyance, his eyes flashing with a depressed light, but his facial expression still couldn't bring out too many changes.

Hugo forgot that this was only Leonardo's third nomination. Time flies, remember that he and Leonardo sat side by side, both nervously sweaty palms, unable to help themselves, waiting for the announcement of the best supporting actor, but now it is the 21st century.

Thinking of this, Hugo patted Leonardo's arm, lowered his voice and said, "Remember?" The first time the two of us were nominated. ”

Leonardo's brain was a little sluggish, and it took a second to react, his expression couldn't help but relax a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was gently outlined, and then he saw the playful smile in Hugo's eyes, recalling the first embarrassment and embarrassment between the two of them, Leonardo finally couldn't control it, and laughed with a snort.

Because this voice disturbed the others, Leonardo quickly apologized in a low voice, and then turned to look at Hugo, "I was sweating too much, just like taking a bath." These words made Hugo frown, with a disgusted expression, Leonardo bared his teeth to express his dissatisfaction, and then directly wiped his sweaty hands on Hugo's thighs, as a hand cloth, and wiped them vigorously. Then looking up, Leonardo saw Hugo's stunned expression, which made the smile on his lips brightly outline.

Unconsciously, Leonardo's nervous mood relaxed, and he looked at the smile on the corner of Hugo's mouth, and suddenly remembered the conversation he had with Hugo before. He and he both know that Oscar is not their end, just a rest stop during the journey, nervousness is inevitable, but there is no need to lose too much, otherwise it is yourself who will really hurt.

Leonardo opened his mouth to thank Hugo, but Judy's voice had already come from the stage, "Alternates, please look at the big screen." Leonardo knew that the cameras were about to come to capture his reaction, and he had to swallow the words for a moment and refocus his gaze on the big screen.

Similar to the pattern of Best Supporting Actress, Best Supporting Actor is also a juxtaposition of the best actors, Michael Caine of "The Law of Cider House", Tom Cruise of "Magnolia", Haley Joe Osmon of "The Sixth Sense of the Supernatural" and Leonardo DiCaprio of "A Beautiful Mind" are all favorites to win the award, and Jude Law of "Talented Ripley" is a companion, but it is not to be underestimated. Among them, Tom and Haley have a slight advantage, and the call for the award is very high.

Leonardo looked at the faces on the big screen, and he suddenly realized that in fact, the probability of him winning the award is relatively low, because the craze of "Titanic" has just ended, and the academy still has a lot of complaints about the idol label of this movie, and even became one of the weapons to attack "Beautiful Mind", so in the end he can be nominated for nomination, which is already a huge victory.

Thinking of this, Leonardo suddenly relaxed and calmed down, thinking seriously in his heart, "Is it Tom or Haley?" ”

At this moment, Judy had already opened the red envelope, looked down, and then showed a shallow smile, "The winner of the 72nd Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor is...... Leonardo DiCaprio, 'A Beautiful Mind'. ”

"What? Who's here? Leonardo only felt as if he had missed something, and then he saw Hugo's ecstatic face, hugged him hard, and imprisoned himself tightly, he only felt that he was almost unable to breathe, and then he reacted:

He, won the award?
