Hugo was not too nervous or anxious about the Best Original Script Award. After learning about the winner, he gave him a lot of applause with a relaxed attitude. In fact, Hugo never had too much expectations, not only because he knew that there were still many shortcomings in "before sunrise", but also because he clearly knew that it was very difficult to win the award in the two departments of actors and screenwriters.

In the long history of the Oscars before 2014, there was only one actor who achieved this feat: Emma Thompson.

Sure enough, the award for Best Adapted Screenplay, with Anthony Hopkins as the award presenter, was awarded without any suspense to "Reason and Emotion" written by Emma.

Since the November awards ceremony began, "Reason and Emotion" has led the way in the screenwriter department, and it can be said that it has swept through the major awards ceremony without any suspense. Emma's delicacy and depth injected into this classic masterpiece has been unanimously recognized by everyone. Among the only two trophys that "Reason and Emotion" won by the Golden Globe Awards, one of which belongs to Emma.

Now that we are at the Oscars, Emma is still ahead of the Best Adapted Screenplay Awards Department and has won the Little Golden Man trophy. This is also the second Little Golden Man after Emma won the Oscar winner of the Oscar three years ago. This also allowed Emma to complete the first person in the film history of film, who won the Little Golden Man trophy across the actors and screenwriters department.

With the two awards from the screenwriter department settled, the prospects of the Oscars have not only become clearer, but have become increasingly elusive, because "Apollo 13" and "Brave Heart" who are determined to compete for the best film have both failed, while "reason and emotion" have shown a recovery momentum.

In the next competition between the three trophys of the director and actor department, there was no nomination for "Apollo 13"; "Brave Heart" only had director nominations, and "Reason and Emotion" only had heroine nominations, but interestingly, "Far Away from Casino" and "Death Prison Walk" were nominated for director, heroine and hero...

This almost created a big chaos. If "stay away from the casino" or "death prisoner walk" includes any two small gold men in the next three departments, or "reason and emotion" to win the best actress, then the competition for the best film will have unprecedented chaos. In addition to "baby pigs" who were eliminated early, the other four works have the chance to win!

Such a situation of winning and losing in Thin Ice has not been seen in the Oscars for many years, and it has not happened even last year because "Forrest Gump" fully meets the aesthetic standards of the academy. Although the competition is fierce, "Forrest Gump" showed an overwhelming advantage at the entire award ceremony and stood out.

But what about this year? Perhaps, the suspense will be left to the last moment!

Since the Best Actor Award this year is the biggest suspense, ABC TV decided to announce the finale of this award, and the final big shot was naturally handed over to the Best Picture Award, which also gave the Best Director Award in advance. Last year's winner Robert Zemegis stepped onto the stage and announced the winner of the Best Director Award.

In fact, there is not much suspense about this year's Best Director Award, because all suspense was basically killed during the nomination stage. Lang Howard, the winner of the American Directors' Union Award, was surprised to be nominated. This situation only happened once in the previous Oscar history. That was, in 1986, the winner of the American Directors' Union Award was "purple" Steven Spielberg, and he was not shortlisted for the Oscar nomination list.

It is more worth mentioning that in the 48-year history of the American Directors' Union Award, there are only three cases where the final winner and the Oscar Best Director are inconsistent.

In 1973, Bob Fos's "cabaret" defeated Francis Ford Coppola's "godfather"; in 1950, Robert Rosson's "all.the.king's.men" competed with Joseph L. Mankevic's "three wives, a.letter.to.three.wives" to compete for the 22nd Oscars, and the latter won; in 1986, Sidney Pollack's "out of Africa" ​​defeated Steven Spielberg's "purple".

Strictly speaking, the time in 1950 was caused by the conflict between release time and award time. In other words, the inconsistency between the American Directors' Union Award and the Oscar Best Director's list has only happened twice so far.

Therefore, when "Apollo 13" was not included in the nomination list, it almost caused an uproar.

In this Oscar nomination list, "Postman" occupies a place as a foreign language film, and winning the nomination is already the biggest victory; although "Far Away from Casino" and "Walking in Death Prison" have ranked among the final five, the structure of both works is too small, too literary and not very competitive.

In the end, only "pig baby" and "brave heart" were left. The former has almost won the favor of critics. However, since this work uses animals as the protagonist, it can almost be said to be a typical representative of the sword's deviantness. It is almost impossible to find out by referring to the situation of "beauty and beast", "the lion king", and "the strange fate in the wind".

In this way, the pattern is magnificent, adapted from historical real events, and the "brave heart" that closely follows the theme of freedom is almost no suspense. What's more, at this year's Golden Globes, Mel Gibson defeated two strong competitors, Long Howard and Lee Ann, and won strongly, so the result of the Oscar can almost be said to be without suspense.

This is true. Robert quickly announced the winner, Mel Gibson, who is the actor and director!

At this point, "Brave Heart" has won four trophies. Although three of them are technical trophies, it is still enough to allow this work to seize the initiative in the competition for the best film. "Apollo 13" is exhausted. However, the trends of the best actor and the best actress can still change the situation. The last fight of "reason and emotion", the strong confrontation between "death prisoner walk" and "stay away from the casino" are likely to change the competitive landscape of the best film.

Tom Hanks took the lead in getting on stage and presented the Best Actress Award. Although the trend of this award is not as suspense as the Best Actor, it can be said that if neither "Death-in-law Walk" nor "Reason and Emotion" can win this award, then the suspense of the best film can be announced in advance, and "Brave Heart" will become the winner of the last laugh.

As the award ceremony approached the end of the award ceremony, the whole tense atmosphere became more and more tense, so the list of winners in Tom Hanks' hands attracted countless hot sights in an instant.

This year's Best Actress Award can be said to be a melee. The two former actress winners, Meryl Streep and Emma Thompson, are strong, especially Meryl, who has thirteen years since she won the last award. It has been five years since her last nomination. The performance in "The Dream of the Bridge" this time is amazing and must not be underestimated. Even Emma, ​​who just won the Oscar winner three years ago, has been praised for her "reason and emotion" this time, and no one can ignore her existence.

The two topic actors Susan Sarandon and Elizabeth Sue are the unanimous focus of attention. Although the works "Death-Battle Walk" and "Far Away from Casino" belonging to the two actors are slightly inferior in overall strength, the performances of the four protagonists of the two films have won unanimous praise from all critics. They are undoubtedly the most powerful contenders in the acting department of the Oscars.

The last one was Charlize Theron, who was shortlisted for the Golden Globe drama queen Sharon Stone. She dedicated her natural and lazy, casual but wise performance in the "Before Sunrise" that received countless praises. It can be said that it fascinated countless people and entered the Nominee Top Five at the end, becoming a big surprise on the nomination list.

Before the award ceremony, it was generally believed that Susan and Elizabeth had a slightly higher chance, and neither Meryl nor Emma could be regarded as dark horses. Only Charlize, who was only twenty, who was shortlisted for the first time, could be regarded as a spectator. With the award ceremony, Emma, ​​who won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award, also had variables. She just won the award three years ago, and then a little golden man was in hand tonight, and Emma's chance of winning was sharply reduced.

In this way, the main competition depends on Susan, Elizabeth and Meryl. Of course, Susan, who was nominated for five times in the first and last year, and had no awards in five years, undoubtedly had a slight advantage, but only a little advantage.

Hugo calmed down for a while and began to tense up again. He turned to look at Charlize sitting beside him. Charlize is only twenty years old this year. In the past few years since she entered Hollywood, she has always refused to play the role of a vase and devoted herself to polishing her acting skills. Her efforts and efforts, as her ex-roommate and close friend, Hugo saw it completely in his eyes. He also knew Charlize's nervousness and excitement at this moment.

At this time, Charlize crossed his hands together and held them tightly. He could even see the protruding blue veins, but the plump lips were pursed into a straight line. Even if he was not close, he could hear the sound of her heart hitting her chest violently. Looking at Meryl sitting on Hugo's right hand, she obviously calmed down and smiled calmly. The difference between the two was immediately obvious.

Hugo didn't have the heart to laugh at Charlize, because he probably wasn't much better. Hugo approached Charlize slightly and whispered, "Smile! Believe me, you won't want to greet the little golden man with such a nervous look." This slightly joking words made Charlize glance at Hugo with annoyance, but then he saw the tension in Hugo's amber eyes. Charlize relaxed, shook his head slightly, and said depressedly, "You'd better pray for a while you don't make a fool of yourself."

Having said that, the muscles on Charlize's face gradually relaxed, outlining a shallow curve.
