Chapter 751: Suspense revealed

Marisa Tomei, this actor who is about to reach her 30th birthday this year, is definitely a newcomer. Although she started to play tricks in 986, she didn’t get one until 1991. A small role with lines, but only a year of precipitation, in 1992, "My cousin Vinny (my... turned out her, not only won the best Oscar for the first time in her career Nominated for a supporting actress, and continued the department’s tradition of commending newcomers, winning her first figurine in one fell swoop.

In fact, Marisa has never been the kind of popular actress in Hollywood, but her solid acting skills have always been an indispensable backbone. After winning her first statuette, her footsteps did not stop, and then she relied on separately. In 2001, "In. The." and "The. Wrestler" in 2008 received two Oscar nominations for best supporting actress. This is something that many actors have never been able to match. Height up.

Marissa, who was still slightly young now, stepped onto the stage nervously, stumbling and stumbling to finish her lines according to the script, and then let the audience watch the big screen.

The short films on the big screen introduce the nominees for this year's best supporting actor to the audience.

Suddenly Jack became excited and smashed Adam who was sitting next to him twice, "Hey, hey, Hugo!"

There is no need for Jack to say that Adam became tense at the first moment. In fact, when the first short film was shown to introduce Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam’s muscles were already tense. He knew very well. As I know, Hugo was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor Award, and when Jack noticed, Hugo's short film had already appeared.

On the big screen, Hugo in the black and white picture was standing in front of the mirror wearing a white shirt. All three buttons on it were loosened. His protruding hair was a little messy, and he was expressionless. Looking at himself in the mirror, he slowly raised his right hand to comb the messy hair, then carefully checked his expression, lifted his chin slightly, and hesitantly extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pointing towards I looked at myself in the mirror, opened his lips, "I forgive you." Then, the fingertips slowly touched the surface of the mirror, and those quiet eyes exuded a cold light, which made people shudder.

Audiences who have seen "Schindler's List" remember this scene. After being persuaded by Schindler, Amon-Goss decided to enforce his emperor's ability and pardon those who are guilty. This sentence "I forgive you" is a famous line that demonstrates Amon's power. He has also forgiven several "guilty people" before, but at this moment, what he said is to forgive the failure to clean the bathtub just now. What about the young man? Or forgive the self who is about to let go of his sins?

It should be the latter. Because within two seconds, gunshots sounded, and the boy who had just left the villa fell into a pool of blood. Amon made a choice. He chose to use force and brutality to show his power, and he—as the emperor— Forgiven himself, and released the devil in his heart again.

The big screen went black, and the gunshot sounded immediately, causing all the audience who saw this short film to shudder. In an instant, they seemed to be back in the heavy story of "Schindler's List".

"Hugo, that kid is really... crazy, isn't it?" Jack only felt that his heart was curled up, he couldn't help patting Adam's hand gently, and exclaimed.

Adam didn't speak, he just watched the TV screen quietly, and Marisa standing in the center of the stage said after the short film, "'Schindler's List" Hugo Lancaster. "Then, the camera was pointed at Hugo in the auditorium. Adam looked at his son sitting in the chair, and seemed to notice his son's nervousness, and a slight smile appeared in his eyes.

Hugo was sitting in a chair at this time, looking at the camera hanging in front of him, tugging at the corner of his mouth, trying to show a smile. He succeeded, but the tension swept through his heart, and his hands on his knees couldn't help. Once he held it, he could clearly feel the stiffness of his muscles, the sound of the heart hitting his chest was so clear, the eardrum was trembling slightly, even the sound of the temple beating was so clear. So that's how it feels. Before attending the awards ceremony, Hugo also told himself, don't care, it's just an awards ceremony-a slightly more grand awards ceremony, how many people yearn for the Oscar statuette for a lifetime, because this requires luck.

What's more, the statuette is indeed the highest award in the film industry, but it is not the only award. The most obvious examples are Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick. These two film masters can be regarded as geniuses, but they have not been able to get the favor of Oscars in their entire lives. But no one dared to deny their greatness.

Then there is "Citizen Kane". This movie missed the Oscar, making Orson-Wells (. Welles) angry, even swearing. But history finally gave this movie an innocence. In the list of major classic movies, "Citizen Kane" has been at the top of the list for half a century.

All this proves that Oscar does have an authority status and is also the most important award in the world, but it is not the only one, not the only standard, not the only authority, not the only greatness, and absolutely not.

People say that the more eager you are, the less you will get it. This is the reality. Therefore, Hugo constantly persuaded himself to calm his mind, don't make extravagant expectations, everything will go with the flow.

But only when you really come to this position can you feel the tension of the desire, even the two masters of Hitchcock and Kubrick regretted that they missed the Oscar, even Orson-Wells It's very upset that he didn't get the little golden man, so Hugo is hard to be an exception. Not everyone can be a noble literary person like Woody Allen.

It couldn't be easier to say cool words in normal times. Even Hugo, before the award ceremony officially started, his mentality was adjusted very well, and the whole person was easy to play. But the moment when the answer was revealed really came, that kind of tension grabbed the heart tightly in an instant, leaving Hugo with no resistance at all, and the nervousness controlled his brain.

Hugo couldn't help but swallowed his saliva, but found that his throat was very dry. The harsh feeling made him feel like he was about to evaporate, even if he was performing on the street, even if it was his first time on the big stage to the death of glory. Even if he was acting in front of Al Pacino or Jack Nicholson, he was not nervous at this moment.

Marissa on the stage continued to introduce, the camera showed that the red light that was being recorded had gone out, and turned to the next alternate, Tommy Lee Jones.

Hugo turned his head hard and looked at Leonardo, who was sitting next to him. Leonardo's condition was worse than Hugo at this time. At least Hugo's expression still didn't show much error, just slightly. It was stiff, but Leonardo's face became extremely pale at this time, and there were two faint blushes looming in the sweat. Just a look can easily read Leonardo's tension-no matter how obvious it is. Nevertheless.

Seeing Leonardo's embarrassed appearance, Hugo couldn't help but feel a little relaxed, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was also outlined. Although before the awards ceremony, Leonardo's mentality was even more relaxed than Hugo, and it seemed that he had come to enjoy it, but at this critical moment he couldn't be exceptionally nervous.

Hugo remembered Leonardo, who had repeatedly defeated and fought on the Oscar journey after the 21st century. Leonardo, who was over 30 at the time and had been rolling in Hollywood for more than ten years, was still nervous. Hugo even remembered that Leonardo lost again at the 86th Oscars in 2014. When he lost to the first nominated Matthew McConaughey, who also had a history of idolism, even if he did not Calm, smiled and applauded Matthew, but the blue eyes were still full of tears. What's more, the young boy who is only nineteen years old now?

Presumably, the tensions of candidates such as Tommy, John, and Pete are not much better at this moment, even Pete, who is hailed as the least likely to be an exception-after all, there is hope as long as the shortlist, theoretically everyone is There is a 20% chance of winning, so the tension will undoubtedly lock everyone in.

Leonardo noticed Hugo’s eyes a step later, and turned his head with difficulty, just like a robot, and a robot lacking lubricant. He creaked and turned his head, and the eyes of the two people collided in the air. , Leonardo swallowed hard.

Hugo couldn't help feeling a little funny. Although he was also nervous to death, he still asked with his lips, "Are you okay?"

Leonardo widened his eyes, looked at Hugo in surprise, and replied with his whole body expressions and movements: I'm not good.

Hugo opened his left hand, wiped the sweat from his palms on his thigh, and then patted Leonardo's cold hands and said, "Immediately." , It's about to end soon. Although the nervousness is unacceptable at this time, after Marissa reveals the answer, no matter who wins the prize, the nervousness will be released immediately.

Leonardo couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth. He didn't know if he saw Hugo's equally nervous expression, or felt the comfort passed by Hugo, or the phrase "immediately" made him see that he was saved. Hope, this makes Leonardo a little easier.

This was just a few seconds before and after. When I turned my head and saw the stage again, I just finished playing the introduction video of John Markovic, and then the big screen was switched to a live broadcast of the five candidates. This means that the candidates have been introduced and the winners will be announced.

Hugo glanced at the big screen while Marissa was talking. Although he couldn't see the emotions of other people, the stiff facial lines still revealed the tension in everyone's heart, even Tommy did not. Exceptionally, this gave Hugo a sigh of relief. When he turned his head, he saw Marisa standing on the stage and said:

"The winner of the Sixty-sixth Oscar for Best Supporting Actor is..."
