Chapter 1469: Cranes and Mussels Fight

When people mention the 68th Oscars, the biggest suspense is undoubtedly the ownership of the Best Actor, this topic has far exceeded the competition for Best Picture, attracting everyone's attention, but in addition to this award, any other award in the actor department is the focus of the topic, among which the debate for Best Supporting Actor is definitely the hot spot among the hot spots.

Hugo Lancaster or Brad Pitt?

It's been a topic of discussion for almost the entire past year, and these two of today's most popular and popular male actors can elicit the screams of almost two-thirds of the American population. Hugo has had the absolute upper hand in three-quarters of the past year, but in the remaining quarters of the time, Brad has completed the Jedi counterattack, not only entering the competition between Hugo and Tom Cruise, completing the iron triangle formation; And he also defeated Hugo head-on in several battlefields, such as People magazine's Sexy Man of the Year selection, such as the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor.

After the Golden Globe Award winners were released, the controversy caused by the six major acting departments continued, among which the Best Supporting Actor department was undoubtedly a major focus of controversy.

Hugo blew up Brad with the role of an anonymous person in "The Seven Deadly Sins", which almost made Brad lose face, and even the box office of "The Seven Deadly Sins" approaching $200 million could not make up for people's bad impression of Brad; But Brad relied on the "Twelve Monkeys" to complete the salted fish turnover, and actually defeated Hugo of the "Seven Deadly Sins" in a head-to-head competition.

Is this really true?

It can be said that the trend of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has attracted the attention of countless people early, and this kind of attention has reached its peak after Hugo won the double nomination for Oscar acting! Is it the anonymous who chooses the "Seven Deadly Sins" or Matthew who chooses the "Death Row Walk"? This can be said to be an unsolvable problem, and the vote-sharing crisis has reached unprecedented heights.

If Hugo wins in the Best Supporting Actor category, he will most likely miss Best Actor; But if Hugo loses in Best Supporting Actor, does it mean that the votes are concentrated in the "Death Row Walk", or does it mean that the votes are stricter than expected, and it also means that Best Actor will also be missed?

Regardless of the outcome, the final trend of the Best Supporting Actor category has become the most emotional award in the first half of the entire awards ceremony, which not only determines the outcome of Hugo and Brad head-to-head again, but also affects the trend of the biggest suspense in the second half, which is enough to make everyone stare with bated breath.

Now that the Best Supporting Actress category has been revealed, it has strangely aligned with the ridiculous list of winners of the Golden Globes, so could it be that the winner of Best Supporting Actor has also been guessed by the Golden Globes?

When Diana West walked on the stage, she felt the hot gaze of the scene, the hot gaze almost melted her, Diana was originally a humorous woman, and couldn't help but quip, "I didn't feel such treatment when I stood here last year, I finally know why everyone says that you don't know what it means until you get the little golden man, this kind of high-profile feeling can't be felt at other times." ”

Diana's bull's ridiculous ridicule of the horse's mouth was meaningful, which made all the guests at the scene chuckle.

"Compared with the protagonist who controls the direction of the film, the supporting role is always an indispensable part of the movie, and they can even rely on their excellent performances to take the film to a higher level. This is the biggest charm of the movie, every character who appears in the story has the meaning of his existence, or a beautiful and unparalleled ...... like me," Diana finished speaking, and half-squatted ladyfully, making the audience whistle and applause, "Or be in charge of thrillers like Martin." It was a joke about last year's winner for Best Supporting Actor, Martin Landau, and the audience burst into laughter.

"So, today, I'm standing here on behalf of the Academy to commend the supporting actors who have put on a great show over the past year, oh yes, it's men." Diana's panicked but playful words made the audience chuckle again, and then she turned her head to look at the big screen, and the images of the candidates began to appear one after another.

James Cromwell of Pig Baby, Ed Harris of Apollo 13...... Then Hugo's performance in "The Seven Deadly Sins" appeared on the screen, and in the picture, an anonymous person walked into the police. In the part of the prosecutor's hall, the sound of "police officer's ......" from soft to terrifying was deafening, and the entire Dorothy Chandler Hall was quiet.

At this time, Theresa Taylor was sitting obediently in her mother's arms, looking at Hugo on the small screen stained with blood, and patted her mother's arm, "Mom, why does Uncle Hugo have no hair?" ”

Jack III, sitting cross-legged next to the rocking chair, stared intently at the television and then complained impatiently, "Stupid, that's because Uncle Hugo is acting." ”

Adam Lancaster, who was sitting in a rocking chair, touched Jack III's little head, then covered his little eyes with his broad palm, and whispered, "You still don't want to look at such a picture." Jack III couldn't help but grab Adam's palm, "I'm fine, I'm fine!" "I struggled to watch TV, but I couldn't shake Adam's palm.

Old Jack, who was not far away, saw his daughter-in-law Michelle turn Teresa's little face into his arms, so he was relieved and couldn't help but sigh, "Adam, was this kid Hugo abused by you when he was a child?" Why did those eyes look so scary? I'm going to be scared out of my old bones. ”

Adam didn't reply, and directly replied stiffly, "That's called acting." Old Jack choked on his own saliva, coughed twice, and looked depressed.

At this time, Hugo's picture was over, Adam took his hand down, and Jack III saw that the picture had shifted to the Brad shot of "Twelve Monkeys", and couldn't help but wail in frustration, "Oh, don't be this sissy." ”

Adam took his hands back, involuntarily put them on the back of the chair, tightened his palms slightly, felt the hard solid wood under his palms, and the muscles in his body tensed, but he was reluctant to take his eyes off the TV lens.

Hugo looked at the picture that appeared on the big screen, and his mood was suddenly tense again after less than half an hour. In fact, someone once asked whether Hugo himself preferred Matthew in "Death Row Walk" or Anonymous in "Seven Deadly Sins", and Hugo felt that this question could not be answered, because it was like asking which left hand or right hand preferred, which was an unsolvable problem.

But at this moment, Hugo found that although he completed his breakthrough in "Death Row Walk", the experience of interpreting Matthew is a memory that can never be replaced for him; But deep down, he likes the "Seven Deadly Sins" more, not because of Anonymous's performance, but precisely because of this imperfection, the freedom and exploration in the process of performing Anonymous are unforgettable.

Thinking of this, Hugo's right fist couldn't help but clench, the hot and humid sweat in his palm made him palpitate, this feeling of gain and loss was like a black hole, swallowing him, and all the tendons and veins in his body were tense, as if a bow and arrow had been pulled to the extreme, and the arrow had to be sent on the string.

Realizing his gaffe, Hugo was a little dumbfounded, and squeezed the corners of his mouth so that the self-mocking smile did not leak out. Hugo didn't even know what he was nervous about, because he had already won a Best Supporting Actor statuette, and it was only two years ago, but the adrenaline-pumping dry mouth at the moment was uncontrollable, which made Hugo feel that he was really ridiculous.

However, Hugo knew that this was not the time to wander, so he forced himself to calm down, but unfortunately it had little effect. Luckily, it's not the first time he's attended a big awards ceremony, and he's barely managed to keep himself calm, at least not in his facial expressions. He forced himself to focus on Kevin Spacey's performance in "The Usual Suspects" on the big screen and keep his composure.

Diana, who was standing on the stage, had already withdrawn her gaze, and when the camera camera was focused on her again, she smiled, "Don't worry, I won't delay any longer, because I'm more curious and eager than you are to know the final winner, what a wonderful five alternates, aren't I?" I'm amazed by their performances, so let's pay attention to this little envelope in my hand. ”

Best Supporting Actress has always been a favorite to reward newcomers, while Best Supporting Actor is keen to recognise older veterans. However, this year's Oscars seem to be a bit unusual, the oldest of the five nominees, James Cromwell, is only 55 years old, and the youngest is naturally 28-year-old Hugo. In addition, the biggest favorite before the awards ceremony is actually Brad, who is Chinese New Year's Eve two years old this year, so this is also destined to be a *-type Oscar.

Of course, Hugo had already achieved a miracle when he won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor two years ago, so it's no surprise this year.

Diana opened the red envelope in her hand, pulled out the small card inside, looked down, and deliberately showed a slightly exaggerated look on her face, so that people couldn't tell whether she was really surprised or fake surprised, and then she lowered her head into the microphone and said, "The winner of the 68th Academy Awards, Best Supporting Actor is ......"

Then Diana paused for a moment, and looked up at the area where the waitings were located, her eyes pointing.

Is it Brad? Or Hugo? The answer to this contest that has involved countless people is finally about to be revealed at this moment, and then Diana lowered her head, looked at the card in her hand again, confirmed the answer, and said word by word, "The winner is, Kevin Spacey, 'very suspect'." ”
