Chapter 1151 1151 Cold joke
After all, Hugo and Cameron were unable to walk to the buffet table. It was not because they were afraid of too many people on the scene and dared to eat, but because there were too many people on the scene saying hello. By the time all the greetings were over, they were about to enter the venue, and there were less than twenty minutes left before the award ceremony began.
After entering the Holy Auditorium, Hugo and Cameron found their place under the guidance of the staff. On the right is the crew of "Shawshank's Redemption" and on the left is the crew of "Forrest Gump". This arrangement is really too clever and makes people wonder if ABC TV did it intentionally to stimulate the ratings.
So he said hello in a hurry. Hugo finally sat on the right side of Tom Hanks, Cameron Diaz sat on the right side of Hugo, and then Samuel Jackson, Quentin Tarantino, and then the crew of "Shawshank's Redemption". It is worth mentioning that Uma was arranged in the back row and sat with Tim Ross and Bruce Willis.
In fact, many people have never noticed that Hugo and Tom Hanks have the same agent. Compared to Hugo who joined halfway, Tom and Rick undoubtedly have deeper bonds. The two have worked together for eight years, and Tom is the actor who brought Rick to the peak.
However, in the past year, Rick has experienced great turmoil, and Hugo's work has always been very busy, so Hugo and Tom have only met several times, but they were only nodding and greeting. The two of them were not familiar with each other. After sitting together tonight, they got the opportunity to talk alone.
Compared to the recent match between actors who are keen on hype in the media, Hugo and Tom have a great chat. Unfortunately, the award ceremony soon kicked off, and the two of them had to temporarily turn their attention to the party.
This year's Oscar invited David Letterman to host. The most popular talk show host in the United States undoubtedly has a high reputation. The deeds of his mortal rivals, Jay Renault, were even made into a documentary, which shows how powerful the incident has.
Hugo and Jay Renault's personal relationship naturally became the target of attack in David Letterman's eyes. However, "Mr. Letterman" seemed to have forgotten that the special nature of the Oscar stage should not be too solemn and serious, but not too vulgar and spoof. It is never easy to be competent for the Oscar host. He is already a little overwhelmed than attacking others.
After walking on the stage, David calmly opened the show with applause, "It's such an unforgettable year, isn't it? We watched many great movies, we met many great actors, and tonight we also saw many new and strange faces of Oscars."
"Come on, let me introduce you." David walked to the side where Hugo was on the stage, and shouted to the other side of the stage, "Opra, Uma;" and then walked over quickly, "Uma, Oprah."
Uma and Oprah are two rare names, and David is joking with their names. The camera then pointed the camera at the two parties involved, and Uma Thurman and Oprah Winfrey were both surprised.
Even though she was as experienced as Oprah, she did not expect David to make fun of herself in the second sentence of the opening, let alone Uma. Uma thought she would be like an invisible person at the Golden Globes. No one mentioned her, and the news continued to be invisible afterwards. Who knew that there was a surprise at the beginning of today, and the attention of "shock" was greater than "happiness". Uma never liked others to joke about her own name.
Therefore, Uma and Oprah smiled at a loss. This smirk was clearly recorded by the camera and seen by countless viewers. Whether it is Oprah, who is determined to become the queen of talk shows, or Uma, who is now at a low point in his career, they are not happy to see their stupid appearance of "silly smirking" and become the target of the audience's teasing.
This time, David Letterman became the object of hatred between Oprah and Uma, and he could not forget it until ten years later. David's Oscar hosting experience was also considered a disaster. After the award ceremony, many media denounced it as a "terrifying experience". He never appeared in the Oscar hosting position again.
Oprah and Uma both smiled awkwardly, and not all the audiences bought it. Only a small part of them laughed, and the rest of them smiled stiffly and looked at each other.
As the host of the talk show, he emphasized the ability to react quickly. David's reaction speed is naturally second to none, but today his reaction speed seems to be too fast. After hearing the low laughter on the scene, David felt that the laughter was just as good as he should speed up the rhythm, so he took a big step towards Uma's position, "Also, Uma, Cameron; Cameron, Uma..."
Uma became the focus of attention for the second time, but she wanted to get into the hole, and the smile on her face was completely stiff at this moment. In addition, Hugo and Cameron, who were sitting in front of Uma, also became the focus of attention.
This time, David was obviously teasing Hugo. Uma and Cameron are the only date Hugo has publicly admitted so far. Now his ex-lover is a partner of the movie, and his current lover appears on the scene as a female companion for the ceremony. This is really exciting for countless gossip reporters. Although David did not mention Hugo, the effect of sarcasm and ridicule is obvious.
But the problem is that everyone in the circle knows the grudge between Uma and Hugo. Uma is like an invisible person during the entire publicity period of "Pulp Novels". Not only Hugo, but also Quentin and Weinstein brothers took the initiative to cooperate. What does this mean? It shows that Uma almost offended the entire crew. Think about the previous "sleeping door". Even if you don't know the truth, you can feel that no one supports Uma.
Therefore, even gossip reporters are reluctant to mention Uma and Hugo anymore. First, there is no revelation worth digging, and second, it is because they don’t want to offend a large number of people.
But David just kept bringing out any pot, and it was at the Oscars ceremony. This quickly became a mess.
At this moment, the audience couldn't laugh anymore. The laughter that had just sporadic, has disappeared completely, leaving only the stiff and false smile that maintained the scene on the corner of his mouth, making the scene quiet suddenly. Many viewers were even unwilling to support the show, and directly restrained their smiles.
This is definitely one of the most embarrassing moments in Oscar history. David Letterman on the stage smiled and thought he was making witty comments, but the stage was deserted, and many people even smiled stingy. The atmosphere on the scene was simply tragic, and even the director in charge of the broadcast had already raised his forehead, let alone other people.
In the next twenty years, this moment has been selected for the Oscars' worst moments. Whether it is the top ten embarrassing moments, the eight terrifying moments, or the five worst moments, you can see this scene being selected. Almost every Oscars, David Letterman's words "Opra, Uma, Cameron" will be broadcast repeatedly by various TV stations, becoming one of the most famous negative textbooks for the hosts later.
David, who was standing on the stage, also noticed the scene. As an excellent talk show host, this is one of his abilities. But what can he do now? Oscar is not his own talk show. Although the lines of Oscar were discussed and written by him and the screenwriter, when it was really live, he could only follow the script process and not do whatever he wanted like his own show. Therefore, David could only continue to speak with his teeth.
"Similarly, there are many familiar old faces tonight, Paul Newman! We all know that you are definitely not a fool..." David was still able to calm the scene. His tone was not flustered. Everything was so smooth except for the pause just now.
However, what should we do if the atmosphere of the scene has gradually condensed into ice?
Hugo really wanted to see how the opening should end, but unfortunately, the staff came over quickly to tell him that he needed to go to the backstage to prepare.
As the winner of the Best Supporting Actor last year, Hugo is responsible for awarding the Best Supporting Actress Award tonight, and the Best Supporting Actress Award tonight is the second award to be awarded, so he must arrive in the backstage in advance.
Hugo gently patted Cameron's right hand, telling her not to be nervous, and then followed the staff and skillfully headed towards the backstage. Less than three weeks ago, he experienced an incredible night in this venue. It was not only a night of glory to death, but also a night of rock. Relatively speaking, the Grammy Graphic Phone Trophy is no longer important.
The staff politely greeted Hugo along the way. They all seemed very enthusiastic, but they were a little worried while they were enthusiastic. Several people even cheered him directly, which made Hugo laugh and cry.
Of course Hugo knew what they were worried about. As early as when the Oscar announced its nomination list, the Chicago Tribune mentioned this matter with gloating, "If Hugo was asked to present Uma to Uma..." There was no need to say anything in the future, just to know what they were looking forward to.
The winner of the last Best Supporting Actor Award for the last Best Supporting Actor awarded this year's Best Supporting Actress, which is a practice unless the last winner is absent for some reason. Then Uma, who was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actress competition, naturally, theoretically, has the possibility of winning the award. If Uma really wins the award, then Hugo and Uma stand on the same stage again after a year, which is much more exciting than Maria Carey's award to Glory to death at the Grammy, which will definitely please many news media.
David was so provoking Hugo at the beginning just now, and Hugo's seemingly simple awards mission became heavier. The staff's worries and encouragement were not surprising.
Of course Hugo knew the problems he might face, and now history is changing little by little, and the facts he knew are quietly finding new tracks. But even if what everyone expected really happened, Hugo would not panic.
However, will this strange and bloody scene really happen? Even if Hugo won’t panic, what about Uma’s reaction?
