“'Independence Day' is officially completed!”

"Twentieth Century Fox: All work in Independence Day is going well and will be released on July 4 as originally planned."

"Hugo Lancaster is officially confirmed to attend the Oscars that will kick off this weekend!"

"Hugo: It's my honor to be able to attend the Academy Awards, and I'm very willing to join this carnival."

"The 68th Oscar is about to unveil: Hugo is sure to attend!"

...

With the completion of "Independence Day", all the news became lively in an instant, and reports from major newspapers and magazines came one after another, because people realized that the Oscars, which had thought they had to wait for a while, had arrived quietly. In an instant, the topic of Oscars was noisy.

Compared with the three troikas of "Pulp novels", "Forrest Gump" and "Shawshank Redemption" that went hand in hand, all the attention this year has been focused on the acting department, mainly because the overall quality of the film has declined too significantly, and the competitiveness of scripts, directors and other departments has also declined.

The "Brave Heart" and "Apollo 13" that led the nomination stage, the highly anticipated "reason and emotion" and "baby pigs" among other award ceremony, the topical "Death Prisoner Walking", "Postman" and "Far Away from the Casino". These works do not have the ability to sweep thousands of troops in terms of influence or the works themselves, and their overall strength is slightly inferior. The overall momentum is several quarters shorter than last year.

However, the competition for the four major awards in the acting department has undoubtedly created countless eyeball effects. Especially after experiencing the list of winners referred to by the Golden Globe Awards, the direction of the four little golden men in the Oscars' acting department has become the hottest topic, especially about Hugo's prospects at this year's Oscars. Even journalists who are members of the entertainment industry are no exception.

When Nicholas McClass entered the media center, he saw a group of peers gathering together, each holding a cup of coffee, and was arguing about something fiercely. Nicholas raised an eyebrow and then took a step towards the Los Angeles Times workroom.

Tomorrow is the Oscars. Today, media from almost all over the world gathered at the Media Center in Doroth Chandler Hall to prepare for tomorrow's live broadcast, which can accommodate more than a thousand journalists working here at the same time.

"Hey, Nick." A voice sounded, and Nicholas looked over the sound and saw James Rut standing by. The studio of "US Weekly" was on the right hand side of the entrance. "How is it outside? Are you still protesting?"

Nicholas shook his head, "It has been evacuated. I heard that he is going to go to the broadcasting facilities of Kabc-TV, a subsidiary of ABC."

As the Oscar approached, all topics began to warm up. From yesterday, a black pastor named Jesse Jackson led the radical group Rainwall W.Coalition to protest. Jesse is a famous leader of the black movement and is praised by many as another leader after Martin Luther King.

This time, Jesse organized protests against the problems faced by African Americans and other minorities in the film industry. They believed that the outspoken portrayal of minorities in movies and TV needs to be adjusted, and the employment rate of minorities in the entertainment industry is too low. Dianne Houston, who was nominated for the live short film award, was the only African American nominated, which shows the bad situation of minorities in Hollywood.

However, this situation is not limited to Hollywood, but in fact it is the case in the whole of the United States, with discrimination in all aspects. Jesse simply wants to use a platform like Oscar to promote his own propositions. So the media is not too worried.

James nodded and changed the subject, "How about it, are you sure when will Hugo appear on the red carpet tomorrow?"

But before Nicholas could answer, someone shouted, "Hey, Nick, you said, did you choose the "Seven Deadly Sins" or the "Deathly Walking"?"

After the sound rang in the noisy media center, it attracted a lot of attention in an instant. The people who were gathering together to drink coffee and arguing quickly came over, surrounded Nicholas, and argued in a slight manner. Nicholas couldn't help but chuckled, and he wondered why these colleagues got together. It turned out that they were all gossiping.

Obviously, for every ordinary audience in the United States, this is the ultimate problem: Which Hugo performs better in the "Seven Deadly Sins" or "Death Inmate Walking"?

"I chose 'Death-in-law walk', you know." Nicholas said with a smile without much hesitation.

Unexpectedly, Nicholas said something and the surroundings started to quarrel, which was very lively. "But Hugo's performance in the 'Seven Deadly Sins' was so amazing that it made Brad look like a wooden stake. Even Morgan was overshadowed in front of Hugo, but watching Hugo and Susan play the show is wonderful! The performance in the 'Death Prisoner Walk' is absolutely unrivaled! Do you all support Brad to defeat Hugo? This is ridiculous!"...

James saw the smile on Nicholas's face and laughed, "They have been arguing for almost thirty minutes." Obviously he had heard a lot just now, and this question was a matter of opinion. I guess everyone would have their own choices. This is exactly the most difficult part, which shows that Hugo contributed a performance that people have to admire in these two works, "So, 'Death Prison Walk'? Clam?"

"Why, do you support the 'Seven Deadly Sins'?" Nicholas asked back.

James shook his head, "No, I'm just worried that it's really too difficult to make a choice between 'Death-Battle Walk' and 'Seven Deadly Sins', even more difficult than whether it's 'Forrest Gump' or 'Pulp novels'. I'm worried that the judges of the college could not make a decision, causing serious votes and ended up having nothing."

"Sometimes, being too good is a bad thing," Nicholas said with a slight smile.

If Hugo did not receive a dual nomination for acting skills and only won one nomination for Best Actor or Best Supporting Actor, the result is obvious. No matter which award it is, Hugo is definitely a leader and can easily get it. The three amazing performances of "Before Sunrise", "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Death Prison Walk" are enough to form a powerful reputation power, allowing Hugo to easily win in the competition for that award.

But now the college has given Hugo a double nomination, which shows that even the College of Film Arts and Sciences has expressed affirmation of Hugo's performance; but on the other hand, it has handed this problem to every college judge. It can be imagined that the vote-scoring crisis has reached an unprecedented level.

"I support Hugo to take the supporting role, and then the leading role will give Nicholas Cage..." Suddenly a voice came out, but before the words behind were spoken, it triggered another heated debate.

"I also support Cage. His performance in "Far Away from Casino" is really great! Yes, yes, when I was watching the movie, I was simply watching an autobiography. Cage's performance completely shocked me! Cage's performance this time was simply unreplicable, expressionless and endless sinking. Please, I can do it, or not, everyone can do it. A performance without any technical content is also a kind of performance. Don't you know? It's just as exciting! Even if you talk about hard power, Cage is more than two streets worse than Hugo, and not to mention "Far Away from Casino" is not as good as "Death Prison Walking""...

There was a lot of disputes that made people unable to hear the words themselves clearly, "Nick, what about you? Do you think Hugo should defeat Cage?"

"Of course, it's always like this." Nicholas, who was named, did not hesitate at all. "Don't tell me how outstanding Cage's performance is. After you watched Hugo's soul-shaking performance, your praises to Cage were pale like ****. As for Hugo's previous outstanding performance, I won't list them one by one, so as not to mention thirst."

These are all journalists who rely on pens and mouths to make a living. At this time, it is not the public remarks published in the newspaper, but their own private discussions, and they all speak very sharply. As soon as Nicholas said this, someone was dissatisfied with it.

"I don't think Hugo is better than Cage. The performance of two people can only be tied at most! Cage is really outstanding. His breakthrough is more difficult than Hugo. You are immersed in personal emotional colors. It's not fair and objective. You should really look at "stay away from the casino" and see you fall asleep, right?"...

The last conversation suddenly emerged from the noise, everyone heard it, and then everyone burst into laughter.

At this time, people walked into the media center one after another, and immediately saw the discussion circle of at least thirty people in front of them. They squeezed in lonely. After hearing the topic of discussion, some people turned around and left with a smile, and then argued with the people around them; some people stood outside the encirclement and discussed quietly with the people around them; some people walked directly to the middle and spoke out their thoughts loudly:

"Why are everyone talking about Hugo and Cage? I think Richard Dreyfus should win the award." Amid the laughter, a voice explained it seriously, which immediately stunned everyone. The person involved seemed to take it for granted, "Why should I look at me so strangely? As long as I am a nominee, I have hope of winning the award, right? I think Richard's performance this time is very exciting. He deserves the second Oscar Little Golden Man."
