Chapter 1468: First suspense

After all the guests were in place, the award ceremony officially kicked off. This year’s ceremony opened with a performance of nominated works for the Best Costume Design Award as an ingenious opening. This made Hugo feel a little speechless, not just Hugo, but all the guests on site. The expressions are a little weird, because this year's nominated works are really... special.

"Vivacious Temporary Questions ( is a gorgeous palace costume, which has a special flavor; while most of the "brave heart" is civilian costumes during the war, there are also many court costumes that are worth seeing.

The background of the story of "Richard III" was adapted to the 1930s, which is very close to the modern feeling; "Sense and Emotion" are mostly costumes of the early 19th century, although they have strong characteristics of the times. But most of them are rural civilian clothing, which is naturally not as gorgeous and cumbersome as the nobility.

The last seat belongs to "Twelve Monkeys." Isn't this a science fiction movie that has nothing to do with costumes?

The costumes of these five works appeared on the same stage at the same time. The spectacular scene turned the fashion show into a silly and funny show, and the weird crossing effect made people wonder what reaction should be done. As a result, just the beginning of the scene made everyone messed up in the wind. Almost everyone's face seemed to be smiling but not smiling, angry but not angry, and the expression was really elusive. If the director is willing to capture the expressions of the guests on the scene, it will be very interesting.

Charlize, who was sitting on Hugo’s right hand, was still a little nervous. When she saw the model wearing a prisoner costume following the court skirt, she almost didn’t smile. She cast a glance at Hugo. He seemed to be saying, "Is this normal?" Hugo was also dumbfounded, and shook his head, saying that he didn't understand what the director was thinking.

Today’s seating arrangement is very interesting, not according to the crew members, but according to the awards department. The four acting department nominees sat together. Hugo’s right hand is Charlize, and then Nicholas Cage is on the left; Meryl Streep is on the left, and Anthony Hope is on the left. Kings; behind Hugo is Kevin Spacey.

The dumbfounding opening soon ended in a bewildered embarrassment, and then Ubi Goldberg appeared on the stage in a loose leopard print skirt, which attracted a whistle on the scene. Sound and laughter. Since last year's David Letterman's host can be called a disaster, Ubi, who was highly acclaimed the year before, accepted the invitation again and appeared as the host.

Appearing on this stage for the second time, Ubi was obviously still a little nervous. She just stepped onto the stage and mixed garlic under her feet, but she didn't panic at all, stopped in place, raised her head and looked at the bottom quietly. The guests of, it seems that everyone was shocked by this little accident. She scanned among the first few rows of guests, and finally stopped at Hugo, "Oh, oh, oh, little naughty, don’t use that. Looking at me with his eyes, although you have never been my type, my heart beats faster."

The director pointed the camera at Hugo at the right time, and then Hugo's stunned expression appeared on the big screen. In an instant, the whole scene clapped and laughed. Hugo also reacted at this time, Ubi took advantage of this accident, and actually kicked him off, which made him chuckle.

After Ubi resolved the small crisis, she calmly walked to the center of the stage again, "Wow, it’s the annual Oscar season again, Christmas for the actors, but this Santa Claus doesn’t necessarily give everyone Gift." Ubi opened the situation with a relaxed joke, "However, as far as I am concerned, I have always liked movie actors. No, I should say that I have full respect for them."

"Movie stars can play various types of roles, tall, short, fat, thin..." While talking, Ubi also gestured and used his plump figure to outline the proportions of his body shape, so There was a chuckle at the scene, “Sometimes they pretend to be politicians, sometimes they pretend to be street beggars, and sometimes they pretend to be street prostitutes. Girls.” When this last word came out, a small group of people rang out again. Because the word "prostitute. Woman" is not allowed to appear on the live broadcast of public TV stations, but Ubi did not care too much, and quickly took it, "I admire them and admire them, but sometimes I feel dissatisfied with them. , For example, some of them only work with their significant other."

After Ubi finished speaking, he paused, and if he looked in the direction of Brad Pitt, it suddenly reminded people of Brad and Gwyneth’s cooperation in the "Seven Deadly Sins". , There was a chuckle at the scene, Brad smiled heartlessly, and Gwyneth, who was sitting next to Brad, obviously had a stiff expression.

Ubi just paused, then continued, "Sometimes I feel scared of them because they always act as some terrible murderers or mental patients." Ubi glanced slightly and fell on Hugo. The people around him smiled happily, and the smile on Hugo's mouth was also outlined, and he shrugged helplessly, as if to express his kindness, which made people smile even brighter.

"Sometimes I feel jealous of them, because they can always have something to happen to their dream lover." Ubi's gaze turned a small half circle, and finally fell on Emma Thompson, everyone in the audience filmed Palm laughed.

When Emma was filming "Sense and Emotion", as a screenwriter, she wrote a kiss scene with Hugh Grant out of her own selfishness. This scene is Lee. Ann finished filming, but the final release version was cut out, because the scene does not need to exist. Emma also admitted that she wrote this scene specifically because she wanted to kiss Xiu.

Emma didn't mind herself, and even gave Ubi a kiss, which made the applause even more enthusiastic.

Although the opening fashion show was really horrible, it is undeniable that Ubi's ease of use and witty remarks immediately raised the atmosphere of the scene.

In less than seven minutes of the opening, Ubi ridiculed almost the entire Hollywood, and finally he deliberately looked at Hugo with a squinted gaze, "Dear Hugo, you know you always have me." Heart.” This made the audience burst into laughter again, and Hugo smiled helplessly, “Then, let us reveal the final result of the chaos at the opening, rest assured, this time we don’t need it. I saw prisoners and nobles performing on the same stage."

This unobstructed but harmless ridicule caused everyone to applaud and sent Ubi down. Then the award-presenting guests appeared on the stage and announced the winner of the Best Costume Design Award. The first statuette of the 68th edition, this also announced that the main part of the award ceremony was officially staged!

Due to the ingenuity of this year’s Oscars, the Best Costume Design Award was mentioned as the first award. Therefore, the supporting role department was not given in the opening as usual, but several technical awards were awarded in advance, the best art The Guiding Award was also included in the "Summary Temporary Questions", and in the competition for the best photography award, "Brave Heart" upset and won, and won the first figurine tonight.

If the suspense of the Best Costume Design Award and the Best Art Direction Award is not big, then the competition for the best photography award is undoubtedly very fierce. In this department, not only "Batman Forever" is nominated for commercial blockbusters. , And there are delicate and deep works of art such as "Sense and Emotion" as shortlisted, and works with sharp styles such as "Seven Deadly Sins" are also nominated, but the result is that "Brave Heart" has overcome the crowd, which is really beyond everyone. Unexpected.

No one will forget that in the battle for the best picture tonight, "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" took the lead, while "Sense and Emotion" and "Baby Pig" were pre-Oscars. Absolutely hot. Now, it is clear that "Brave Heart" has started to run first.

Tonight’s awards ceremony will obviously be very interesting.

Subsequently, tonight’s first major departmental award officially came on stage. Last year’s Oscar winner Martin Landau for Best Supporting Actor stepped onto the stage and was responsible for awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award.

This year’s Best Supporting Actress department is undoubtedly very interesting Because the overall strength is not outstanding, originally people were the most optimistic about Kate Winslet born on the basis of "reason and emotion", but Kate turned out Not only did the Golden Globe Awards fall, but the prospects of "Sense and Emotion" at the Oscars also began to be blocked, which made the trend of awards confusing.

In the end, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences once again demonstrated its unique affection for Woody Allen, a literate old man. After awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award to Woody’s "Bullets over Broadway" last year, this year again This award was awarded to Woody's work "Non-powerful. Spring. Medicine". After winning the Golden Globes, Mira Sorvino once again topped the Oscars upset.

This is undoubtedly a surprise to countless people, because Mira was criticized after the Golden Globes. It is generally believed that her strength is not enough to crown the award, especially the Oscars always like to commend young actresses. According to this rule, Milla, who is 29 years old this year, is definitely not as likely to win the prize as Kate, who is only 20 years old. However, this is the Oscar. The first nominee Mira was a blockbuster and won his first statuette. The Academy lifted the fog of this year's Oscar in an unconventional way.

The Best Supporting Actor Award that followed immediately made everyone start to wonder. If you look at the trend of the Best Supporting Actress Award, then the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award is...Brad Pitt?
