After entering the Holy Auditorium, Leonardo was obviously not looking good, and now he still has an indescribable fear of the crowd, which is why he appeared on the red carpet with Hugo tonight. The signs weren't obvious on the red carpet just now, but now Leonardo is feeling a little breathless.

Hugo was not in a hurry, and stood next to the entrance with Leonardo, quietly waiting for him to recover. Seeing such a scene, a staff member came over worriedly and asked if he needed help, Hugo hurriedly stepped forward and refused their approach, because he knew that the approach of strangers at this time would only make Leonardo's situation worse, and all Leonardo needed was some fresh air.

After waiting for a while, Leonardo's breathing finally adjusted, looked at Hugo with a pale face, pulled the corners of his mouth and showed a self-deprecating smile, "The reporter doesn't know how to write it when he sees it, and it is estimated that the two of us are going to play big names again." ”

Hugo pursed the corners of his lips, "I think they should have written 'Vampires are exposed to the sun, and their true forms are exposed'." Dude, honestly, you're a real mess right now. Leonardo's face, which was not very good, was now even more bloody, so pale that it was like white paper, and even his lips lost all color.

Leonardo laughed speechlessly, "You have time to joke around here, why don't you go get me a piece of dark chocolate." "Leonardo also knows that this is a necessary stage and he has to step out of it. Now with Hugo's help, he has improved a lot, at least he sees that the crowd will not have irritable and violent thoughts, although there is still some rejection and fear in his heart, he no longer wants to run away, he just feels that the air is thin.

Hugo raised his hands, made a gesture of surrender, turned around and went to the buffet table to get a few pieces of dark chocolate, and then entered the Holy Great Hall with Leonardo.

Due to the traffic jam on the road, they arrived half an hour later than expected, so there was not much time left before the official start of the awards ceremony. Under the guidance of the staff, Hugo and Leonardo came to the first row, and found that tonight's seating arrangement was still divided according to the department, and the four acting departments were all seated in one area.

Originally, Hugo could also sit in the screenwriter's area or producer's area tonight, but the positions of these two departments were slightly lower, in the second and third rows, ABC TV station took into account the problem of ratings, so Hugo was placed at the forefront.

Seeing Hugo's appearance, there were acquaintances all around, Robin Williams walked up and gave Hugo a hug affectionately, Helen Hunter and Jack Nicholson brought Greg Kinnear over and talked about the chaos of today's red carpet around Hugo and Leonardo, so lively; Under Jack's thread, Hugo also met Dustin Hoffman, and this was the first official meeting between the two - Hugo, the four major actors in the film industry in the 80s, also officially met.

Then Hugo also chatted with Judi Dench for a while, this wise old actor is also one of the objects of Hugo's great admiration, in her more than half a century of acting career, won seven Oscar nominations for acting, although relying on "Shakespeare's love history" won a Best Supporting Actress statuette, but never missed the actress, which is also a huge regret.

After a short wait, Charlize was late.

Recently, because of the "female." The Adversary", Charlize almost plunged into the world of Erin Enos, and she even planned to miss the Oscars for a while. But at the last moment, he was persuaded by Leonardo to attend the meeting. Fortunately, Carl Earl had chosen an evening dress for Charlize early, so he didn't delay the ceremony, but despite this, Charlize still spent a lot of effort today, resulting in a short delay and fortunately, did not arrive after the ceremony began.

Tonight, Charlize chose a warm orange evening gown with a retro halterneck, the large open back design perfectly shows off the elegant curves of her back, the slender figure is fragrant in the close-fitting and delicate lines, and the flowing mermaid dress design can be said to be shocking - such a bold and wonderful retro design is very rare in the 90s, combining the elegance of the top superstars of the Hollywood Golden Age with the graceful curves of contemporary women. The long golden curly hair is coiled into a bun, and the small wavy twist braid curve adds a touch of ladylike style.

The diamond jewelry on the wrist and earrings and the diamond coin purse in the hand are contrasting, simple and elegant without losing elegance. sense, that distinct retro style just appeared, and it attracted all the eyeballs.

Hugo couldn't help but look Charlize up and down, then showed a big smile and gave Charlize a hug, "Miss, you are simply beautiful tonight." But Hugo could feel Charlize trembling gently in his arms, and the irrepressible tension slowly seeped out.

Hugo let go of Charlize and looked at Charlize again, although her face was a little relaxed, but she could still feel the heaviness of the recent period between her eyebrows. The world of Erin Ainos has really affected her so much, and she is now sinking into a quagmire little by little, and it feels wonderful, but it is also terrible.

Hugo patted Charlize lightly on the arm, "Don't think about it, at least you can enjoy it tonight." Charlize gave Hugo a shallow smile, but still a little reluctantly, "It's better not to repeat the bad performance of the last time." It was a sign that Charlize was so nervous that he couldn't help himself when he relied on "before sunrise" to win the nomination for the first time, which made Charlize burst out laughing and glared at Hugo through gritted teeth.

"I'm wearing a long skirt now, and when I get backstage, you'd better be careful!" Charlize squeezed a sentence out of his teeth, and that familiar tone made Hugo laugh again, but Hugo did not show weakness and reminded softly, "Best Supporting Actress seems to be the first award." ”

One sentence made Charlize suddenly turn into a puppet, his muscles stiff like marble, and he froze in place. Hugo smirked before turning and walking to his seat. Charlize also understood at this time that Hugo was deliberately angry with herself, but she had no choice but to grind her teeth fiercely, and then walked to her seat.

Hugo sits between Leonardo and Jack today, with Jack used to be Dustin and Leonardo used to be Matt Damon. The five actor candidates sat together like this, and behind them were the five candidates for Best Supporting Actor.

Matt looked at the four people next to him and wanted to come forward to say hello, but hesitated for a moment, remembering Ben's words before he took his seat just now, "We are capable and talented, and we need to rely on ourselves to break through." Believe me, we will be the ones who will have the last laugh tonight, and then they will take the initiative to come and slap us, even Hugo. Joseph will regret not doing his best to keep us! ”

Matt didn't step forward after all, but sat down in his place, quietly watching the other actors on both sides of him say hello lively. There is an unpredictable contemplation in the calm expression.

Fortunately, this situation did not last long, and the awards ceremony soon kicked off, and the theme song of the Oscars was played in the Holy Auditorium, which was called "Oscar Prelude" for the first time in the 70 years of the awards ceremony.

Billy Crystal slowly descended from the bow of the big ship "Titanic" in the background, he waved his right hand vigorously, shouting, "Oooo The opening of this tribute to the "Titanic" made the audience applaud for a long time, Billy calmly stepped off the big ship, pacing back and forth on the stage, "Very good, good evening, welcome to the Titanic, we are like that big ship, we are big, we are expensive, and everyone wants us to be a little faster." "It's a mockery of the fact that the awards ceremony is too long every year to make people laugh.

"Very well, then let us satisfy you." Billy stood still and began to sing loudly, ridiculing the best five works, first ridiculing the budget overrun of "Titanic", and even forcing the two large film studios to choose to unite; Later, he ridiculed the "Six Heroes of Light Pigs", in this era, even men have to "fruit dew", even if they are not as handsome as Hugo, Leonardo, Matt, and Ben, as long as they dare to fruit dew, they can come out.

The ridicule of the "perfect" character setting, obsessive-compulsive disorder, impetuousness, and depression are regarded as "perfect", and the screenwriter is still an "inexplicable actor"; Then he ridiculed the "Mind Catcher", saying that Matt and Ben were too closely connected, making this absolutely excellent work - implying that there seemed to be an ambiguity between the two men. Dark; In the end, when it was the turn of "L.A. Confidential", he constantly mocked the blurred lines between good and bad guys in the story, and every time people thought the good guys appeared, it turned out to be the bad guys, "and there was also a screenwriter who made a cameo in passing."

"'L.A. Confidential' can be an iceberg tonight!" Billy's short but favorable lyrics bring out the focus of tonight's showdown, witty and humorous, and it is amazing, "Ladies and gentlemen, what a star-studded and famous actor award tonight, outstanding acting, Dustin Hoffman!" Jack Nicholson! Matt Damon! Leonardo DiCaprio! Oh, and Hugo Lancaster, this little guy always goes to the wrong place, hey, go back to the screenwriting crew with Matt, okay? I guarantee that Ben has no problem with that. ”

In a word, he teased all three of them in one fell swoop, and also brought out the second focus showdown tonight by the way, and he was very witty, "Tonight is a carnival night, please remember that the award speech must be short, because we still want to call it a day tonight!" Besides, the Oscars are 70 years old, and a billion viewers are tuning in! ”

When Billy's last innocent expression ended, the audience applauded!
