Charlize is indeed very nervous, from a model to an actor, Charlize has never been confident enough, so she has been unremittingly polishing her acting skills over the years, she doesn't want others to treat her as just a cross-border vase, this insistence has even become an obsession, she refuses commercial films, rejects vase roles, and refuses to judge people by their appearance.

Charlize knows that in Hollywood, she has to know how to use her strengths, her appearance can win her opportunities, and it can also give her more opportunities to practice her acting skills. Hugo has persuaded her many times, and has also persuaded Leonardo who has similar ideas, but this insistence has quietly become an obsession in Charlize's heart, an obsession that even she herself can't overcome, she can't be as open to commercial films as Hugo or Leonardo, but she wants to prove herself with acting skills.

This obsession has even become a tight spell that cannot be shaken off.

But fortunately, this obsession finally paid off after "Before Sunrise", and this work not only won her recognition, but also won her a lot of praise, which allowed her to confirm that she is indeed talented in acting, and that she can indeed use her strength to change people's impression of her vase.

In particular, the Oscar gave her the affirmation of the nomination, which made her relax a lot.

Charlize clearly knew that she was only twenty years old, and "Before Sunrise" was only her first masterpiece, and her chances of winning the award were almost infinitely close to zero, but even so, Charlize's inner sense of anticipation was still irrepressible, and the heartstrings that had been relaxed after last night's phone call with Hugo were tense again, as if they would be broken at any moment.

She had no way to control it, she wanted to relax herself, but her brain and body were both on strike, and she couldn't control it at all. The sensation of extreme tension was so terrible that it was like dancing on the tip of a knife, and the pain of the tear had deactivated all other senses, leaving only endless waves of pain to swallow in.

At this moment, Charlize heard Hugo's deep voice, "Smile! Charlize subconsciously turned his head to look at Hugo, and it took a while to see clearly what Hugo said, but she crashed into Hugo's eyes.

Nervous, Hugo was also nervous, that tension was like a rubber band gradually straightening, and she could even see Hugo's pupils slowly contracting; In addition to that, there's a little bit of banter, a little bit of ridicule, and a little bit of schadenfreude.

This familiar look made Charlize's tense heartstrings slowly relax, although she was still nervous, the sweat in her palms was very uncomfortable, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously outlined an arc, she gritted her teeth slightly, and cursed depressedly, "You'd better pray for a while that you don't make a fool of yourself." ”

Then Charlize saw the smile in Hugo's eyes swelling up, flashing with a faint light, Charlize was in a more relaxed mood, she didn't stop there, turned her head to look at Tom Hanks on the stage, and let out a long breath.

"The winner of the Best Actress award at the 68th Academy Awards is, Susan Sarandon, 'Death Row Walk.'"

Tom's voice came through the microphone, and Charlize's nerves slowly relaxed, and the feelings of disappointment, regret, and laxity came rushing in an instant, and she didn't even have time to savor it before she noticed Hugo's standing ovation, and she immediately stood up.

The audience stood up, and after winning five nominations, Susan won her first recognition, defeating her biggest rivals Elizabeth and Meryl, and successfully stood out, as one of the best actresses of our time, Susan is finally no longer a spectator on the Oscar stage.

Hugo vigorously stirred his hands and gave Susan the highest praise, when Susan happened to come over and hugged Hugo, Susan also imprinted a kiss on Hugo's cheek, and whispered in his ear, "Thank you." Then Susan politely hugged Charlize and the other candidates, and then stepped onto the stage.

Seeing Susan walking on the stage, Hugo turned his head to look at Charlize, and the eyes of the two actually met, showing a shallow smile to each other, and that relief replaced the nervousness, which slowly faded in Charlize's eyes.

Hugo gave Charlize an encouraging look, as if to say, "The future is yours, and today is just the beginning." This made the smile on Charlize's lips slightly raised, and both of them turned their heads to look at the stage. Then Hugo saw that Susan's not strong shoulders were trembling slightly, and her bright eyes were shining with tears. Maybe the Oscar statuette can't represent a qiē, but every time it's so close to the little statuette, it passes by in the end, and the regret, the discouragement, and the bitterness make the heart tormented. It was only to this day that Susan finally held the little golden figure in her hands.

Holding the little golden figure tightly, it took Susan a moment to calm down, "Thank you, thank you." Susan's voice trembled slightly, making it clear that her heart was tumbling and turbulent, "I thought I would be much calmer, but...... It was harder than I expected. Susan's self-deprecation made the audience chuckle, "I've been waiting for this moment, and it's even more wonderful than I imagined to be on this stage." ”

"Tim, I have to thank you for making such a great film, I love you." Susan looked at the other half sitting under the stage, although Tim returned empty-handed tonight, but at this time Susan was able to stand on the stage, which was already a big victory for the "Death Row Walk", "Hugo, oh God, Hugo Lancaster." Susan's exclamation made everyone at the scene chuckle, and Hugo, who was innocently lying on the gun, actually appeared on the big screen again.

Susan raised her head and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Hugo, you are really a genius, during the filming process, your hard work, your talent gave me so much inspiration, it is my honor to be able to work with you." These words made the scene burst into noisy applause again.

Hugo sat in his position, indeed a little embarrassed, he was still not used to being praised so much in front of him, and those stares projected from all directions made his cheeks feel a little hot. But fortunately, Susan immediately changed the subject, "Today my good friend Christopher Reeve came to the award ceremony, and he mentioned that we must pay more attention to society, we must take more social responsibility, I agree with this, and I hope that Hollywood will pay more attention to these serious issues like the topic discussed in 'Death Row Walk'." Chris, I admire your courage and actions. ”

The speech was once again met with applause, which was the most important theme of this year's Oscars, and finally, Susan left the stage after expressing her gratitude to the Academy again.

Looking at the excited Susan, Hugo was also full of emotion, but the tension in his heart was tightening the clockwork step by step, this sense of urgency and crampedness made Hugo a little at a loss, his brain became blank in an instant, and he couldn't even concentrate, let alone think.

When the winner of Best Actress was announced, the fog of this year's Oscars finally gradually dissipated, and the "Sense and Sensibility", which had received numerous praises, officially announced its withdrawal from the competition for Best Picture, plus the "Pig Baby" and "Apollo 13" who were out of the game early, and now only "Braveheart" and "Death Row Walk" remain.

If "Death Row Walk" can win the Best Actor Award, then the overall momentum is still not inferior to "Brave Heart", and the suspense will continue until the last moment; Conversely, if "Death Row Walk" doesn't win in the actor category, then there will be no suspense about Best Picture.

But the interesting thing is that Best Actor is precisely the biggest suspense of this year's Oscars!

As analysed before the ceremony, Nicolas Cage, who is "far away from the casino", and Hugo, who is on death row, are undoubtedly the strongest contenders for this award, especially the controversy focused on Hugo will be the key point that will affect the award.

In the past few years, except for the popcorn movie "Speed of Life and Death", Hugo has dedicated enough performances to be nominated and even take away the little golden man in almost every work, and the strong reputation has reached its peak, especially this year's three films have brought Hugo's acting strength into full play, and the call for winning awards has reached a new record high.

But on the other hand, Hugo's outstanding performance has been recognized by the Oscars - "Schindler's List" won Hugo the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor, this was only two years ago, and now Hugo is really time to win his second statuette? Don't forget, Hugo was once the winner of the Golden Raspberry Award. Not to mention that this year's Oscar gave Hugo three nominations, and the vote distribution crisis is unprecedented.

Even Hugo aside, Nicolas Cage delivered the best performance of his career this year, and "Away from Las Vegas" has won a lot of praise, and the member of the Coppola family has already won the support of many in the circle; And Richard Dreyfus created the second spring of his artistic career with "Life is Beautiful Because of You", and President Richard Nixon played by Anthony Hopkins is also the favorite historical figure of the academy.

No one can ignore the strength of the three contenders.

With the exception of Massimo Trosili of "The Postman", it can be said that no one could have predicted the final outcome of the battle between the other four. This may be Hugo's best chance to win, but it may be Hugo's worst chance to win, if the historical trajectory develops, Nicolas Cage will win the only golden man in his career as an actor by "staying away from the casino", but now that Hugo has become a member of history, will the trajectory change again?

In the midst of all the attention, Jessica Lange, the winner of last year's Oscar for Best Actress, walked onto the stage with elegant steps, and the small red envelope in her hand contained the biggest suspense of the year!
