It's all happening, it's really happening.

Although the possibility of such an outcome was already expected in the nomination stage of "Shakespeare's Love History" with thirteen nominations, when all this was real, the uncanny sense of illusion still invaded. It's not "Saving Private Ryan", it's not "Truman's World", it's not even "The Thin Red Line" or "Life is Beautiful", it's "Shakespeare's Love History".

Among the five awards currently announced, "Shakespeare's Love History" was all shortlisted for the final competition, and won three of them, and even last year's "Titanic" was overshadowed by its outstanding performance.

There was an indescribable atmosphere in Dorothy Chandler's Hall, and everyone was acutely aware of the fact that they were making history with their own hands, but no one could be sure whether it would be remembered or notched.

At this moment, more than 49 million viewers across the United States are tuning in to watch the annual Oscars, and the great victory of "Titanic" last year, as well as the outstanding commendations of "L.A. Confidential" and "Perfect", all made the audience excited; The attention of this year's top five players is even more beyond imagination, aside from the "thin red line" and "beautiful life" that came later, "Save Private Ryan" and "Truman's World" were the top two in the North American box office list in 1998, among which "Truman's World" has set off a heated frenzy across the North American continent, and everyone is looking forward to tonight's big game.

But only a third of the way through the awards ceremony, the audience was confused, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Compared to Hollywood insiders, the audience has no idea what awards season year or what college public relations is, they only know that "Shakespeare in Love" is just a work that no one cares about - before the Oscars, it only grossed 50 million dollars. But now, "Shakespeare's Love History" has actually become the frontrunner of the awards ceremony, and has won the three little golden figures in one go, what the hell is this!

The mentality of the audience is very simple, they care about whether those high-profile works can win awards, and as for the works that are artistic, it is a professional game. Throughout the history of the Oscars, the ratings can be seen: the two most watched ceremonies were "Titanic" and "Lord of the Rings 3" twice.

Therefore, when "Shakespeare's Love History" defeated "Truman's World" and "Saving Private Ryan" to become the protagonist of the awards ceremony, the audience almost lost patience. The instant ratings plummeted, from approaching the threshold of 50 million to the edge of 40 million, and even on the edge of 40 million, as if it would fall below the 40 million level at any time.

The staff of ABC TV station looked at the real-time ratings fluctuation curve, and they were all terrified, and the unease that was difficult to express made them all sit on pins and needles. Even if they were convincing themselves that it had nothing to do with the awards – "Shakespeare in Love" was the biggest winner in the nomination stage, and now it was understandable to lead Oscar night, but that restless restlessness and empty uncertainty slowly crept over in Dorothy Chandler Hall.

Hugo knew the curves of history inside out, and the Weinstein brothers were confident in the college's public relations, so there were no surprises in this situation. But neither Hugo nor the Weinstein brothers have overlooked one thing, a very important thing: the appearance of Hugo, the little butterfly, has deviated the trajectory of history.

"Truman's World" won ten nominations and became one of the biggest favorites; DreamWorks has launched a PR strategy for "Saving Private Ryan", and Steven will definitely not sit still; Hugo's appeal in Hollywood is now unrivaled......

In many cases, history is a series of accidents that are connected together to form inevitability. And when one of them changes by chance, the chain effect leads to multiple accidental changes, so that it inevitably becomes "another" necessity.

The award for Best VFX was immediately awarded, which had nothing to do with the five focus films, "The Apocalypse," "Gorilla Joyan" and "Dreams Come True (What. Dreams。 May。 Come)" was shortlisted for the final battle, and surprisingly, "The Peerless Apocalypse" was not able to continue the disaster film's strength in this department, and in the end, "Dreams Come True" starring Robin Williams won the little golden man.

After a short respite, the Best Cinematography award in the technical department, second only to the Best Editing Award, was released, which is also considered one of the most important awards in the technical department, because the cinematographer's scheduling of the scene, the control of the picture, and the creation of the atmosphere are all necessary magic weapons for the success of the film, and the photography award and the editing award are generally considered to be an important part of the best film, second only to the director's control. Therefore, many veteran cinematographers later turned to become directors, and Jane de Bonte, the director of "Life and Death", is one of the representatives.

This year's Best Cinematography award was fiercely contested, with five nominees for "Saving Private Ryan", "Truman's World", "Shakespeare's Love History", "The Thin Red Line" and "Elizabeth". Except for "Beautiful Life", the top five contestants for Best Picture are all shortlisted, and the competition situation can almost be called miserable.

The award was also known as the first outpost in the race for Best Picture, and everyone in the audience stared with bated breath. Finally, Jennifer Aniston announced the winner of the award, and it was "Janusz." Kaminski, 'Saving Private Ryan'", Steven's master photographer won the award for the second time after Schindler's List!

In an instant, all the guests stood up collectively, which was really beyond everyone's expectations.

This is just the best cinematography award, and Januz is not a senior who has worked hard but has never been recognized, but all the guests in the audience still gave a standing ovation and gave Januz a warm applause. Compared with the award itself, the first golden talent of "Saving Private Ryan" is more meaningful, not only breaking the monopoly of "Shakespeare's love history" so far tonight, but also announcing that "Saving Private Ryan" is back among the contenders, and the sense of luck of "relief" makes everyone can't wait to stand up.

No one wants to leave their name in the history of the Oscars in an inexplicable way.

"Saving Private Ryan" beat out the other three direct contenders for Best Picture to take home Best Cinematography, and the invincible "Shakespeare in Love" lost the first trophy in head-to-head competition, and the suspense of the awards ceremony returned a little bit – albeit only a little.

Gwyneth looked at Bob beside her in surprise, as if asking, "What's going on", Bob stood up with a smile on his face and gave Janouz a round of applause, but his expression was extremely calm, as if nothing had happened. Noticing Gwyneth's eyes, Bob turned his head and smiled at her, reassuring her.

wants to be like "Ben Hur" back then, twelve nominations including eleven little golden figures, such a feat cannot be replicated in the entire history of the Oscars. No one can hit every shot. Therefore, the loss of one or two little gold figures is the expected result.

In fact, the Weinstein brothers have strategically chosen to give up many awards, and according to their plan, "Shakespeare in Love" will win six or seven of the thirteen nominations, which is the perfect situation, and many other nominations can be dropped. For example, in the Best Cinematography Award, "Saving Private Ryan" and "The Thin Red Line" have inherent advantages in this award, and several other works have already been reduced to spectators in the nomination stage.

So, Bob wasn't surprised at all by the results.

Even if "Saving Private Ryan" pulled back a game, it couldn't shake the leading position of "Shakespeare's Love History" at all, in fact, Bob believes that the next few technical awards are estimated to have nothing to do with "Shakespeare's Love History", but more of a fight between "Saving Private Ryan" and "Thin Red Line", and even "Truman's World" has no advantage in the technical department. The real decisive award is the Best Film Editing Award, which is not without reason to be called the "Little Best Film". So, Bob only needs to focus on the award for Best Film Editing, and as for the other technical awards, he will enjoy the comfort and leisure of sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight.

Looking back at Gwyneth, Bob noticed that Gwyneth was still nervous, and the turbulence in her eyes revealed her nervousness. This made Bob shake his head slightly in his heart, and sure enough, Gwyneth was still too immature, like a silk grass in a greenhouse, and had not experienced any wind and rain.

Bob was looking at Gwyneth, but he found Hugo in the distance, and the eyes of the two people made slight contact in the air, Hugo nodded his chin lightly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was faint but calm. Bob also showed a smile and said hello, but he couldn't help but sigh slightly: Hugo is definitely not an easy guy to deal with, he is not as simple as it seems.

Retracting his gaze, Bob noticed that Gwyneth was also looking at Hugo, but at this time Hugo had already withdrawn his gaze and focused on the stage, which made the elegant smile on Gwyneth's face completely stiffen, and even the muscles in his shoulders stiffened. Bob patted the back of Gwyneth's hand lightly, then gave her a reassuring look and motioned for her to be at ease.

The next process of the awards ceremony was as Bob expected, "Saving Private Ryan" won the two trophies of best sound and best sound editing without any suspense, and the best film editing award was the most important thing in the technical department, and at this time, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Shakespeare's Love History", which each won three golden men, became the biggest favorite, and a small golden man may completely change the trend of tonight's awards ceremony!
