Chapter 2094 2094 College PR
The Weinstein brothers' confidence made Hugo's smile more bitter. Many times, Hugo thinks history is a very interesting thing, but occasionally, for example, at a moment like today, Hugo will feel that "predicting the future" is not that interesting. It is as if he knows that it is destined to be the result of failure, he still needs to cheer up and do his best to try to change the trajectory of history and try to create his own sky.
According to the historical wheel trajectory, "Shapes' Love History" will sweep the seven-seat little golden men, including Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actress, Best Supporting Actress, Best Original Screenplay, etc., becoming the biggest winner tonight; Gwyneth Paltrow will be the top winner of the film, and the one who laughs at the end of the battle for the actors is Roberto Benini of "Beautiful Life".
In other words, there is nothing wrong with "Trumen's world", and "Save Private Ryan" has become a recognized Oscar regret for everyone.
But even so, so what? He has come to the present, breaking countless history and following many history. The world is completely different from what he knows. If he is afraid of the future, why should life begin? Just like him and Charlize, only by having the beginning can he create the future, because every moment of the present is the cornerstone of the future.
Hugo looked at the backs of the Weinstein brothers and Gwyneth leaving calmly. Gwyneth raised her head stubbornly and proudly, and her straight backbone outlined her pride and nobility, as if she was about to ascend the throne, step by step, firmly and steadily moving towards her throne. The lines outlined between the light and shadow were like works written by the greatest painter, emitting a thrilling light.
"What are you thinking about? Stay here?" A smile came from behind. When you looked back, you saw Steven Spielberg's white beard. Hugo pulled his mouth and showed a light smile. "I was thinking about who will be happy and who will be disappointed when I go back tonight."
Steven looked forward along Hugo's gaze, and then saw the back of the Weinstein brothers. There have been too many things in the past few months. Even Steven couldn't completely clarify his thoughts at the first time, but he had received a reminder from Hugo and had vaguely realized that after the film production, the film promotion and the movie distribution, the film awards and awards were also undergoing earth-shaking changes.
In the past two months, the Weinstein brothers have become the most active people in Hollywood. Interestingly, they are not powerful at all, they can only be regarded as small figures in third-tier cities, but they control the direction of news in half of Hollywood, which is even enough to shake the idea of the American Academy of Film Arts and Sciences. Such power is impossible for Hugo to do. This is precisely the subtlety of social networks.
"Who knows. The unpredictability of the Oscars is precisely the most wonderful part here, right?" Steven said at Hugo meaningfully. The college has more than 5,000 judges, and the hearts of the people are always something that people cannot grasp 100%, let alone more than 5,000 different "hearts of the people"? Therefore, the college is too uncertain, no one dares to guarantee: this year's Oscar list is predictable, no one.
Hugo looked at Steven and couldn't help laughing, nodding slightly, "Then let's cross our fingers."
Hugo and Steven walked forward side by side, and then they found that the seating arrangements tonight were set according to the crew. The members who successfully won the awards in "Trumpman's World" were all sitting in one piece, but there were still some differences. Nicole Kidman and her male companion Tom Cruise sat in the first row, while Alexander Lorraine and Peter Will sat in the second row. "Trumpman's World" was on the left side of the crew of "Save Private Ryan" and on the right side were on the crew of "Suffering Private" and "Storm".
On the other side of the aisle are the crew of "Thin Red Line" and "Shapes' Love History". Charlize Theron was also assigned to that side. There were two positions between her and Gwyneth, sitting Bob Weinstein and Meryl Streep respectively.
Hugo waved towards Meryl, Charlize, and then walked to his position to sit down. Tom Cruise immediately stood up and gave Hugo a hug, "Why didn't you bring a female companion today?" Most of the people around actually brought their partners, such as Meryl brought her two daughters to come, but since the first row was reserved for members of the highlight tonight, Meryl's two daughters sat behind her.
Hugo came alone, but instead seemed a little bit unique.
Hugo looked back at Charlize and found that she was looking up. The two couldn't help but smile at each other. After retracting their gaze, Hugo outlined a smile, "My partner has been forgotten at home." Hugo was talking about Leonardo. The two walked the red carpet together last year and are still talked about by people.
In fact, Leonardo wanted to attend the Oscar this year, but the college did not send him an invitation.
Hugo had heard rumors in his previous life that after the "Titanic", the academy's attitude towards Leonardo DiCaprio and Kate Winslet was very ambiguous. They all regretted too much in commending the two young actors. The success of "Titanic" is a commercial achievement of computer special effects and has no direct relationship with the two actors. The academy tends to position the two actors as "idol actors", so for a long time after that, Leonardo and Kate's Oscar journey was particularly bumpy.
The actors of the "Harry Potter" series and the actors of the "Twilight" series are all like this. Although they became famous overnight and gained more popularity than imagined, they missed the Oscars within five or even ten years. This is probably a portrayal of "there are gains and losses".
This is true. This year, not only did Leonardo not receive the invitation, but even Kate did not receive the invitation. In the end, Kate was qualified to appear because of "Trumen's World", but Kate did not appear tonight.
Tom understood Hugo's joke at once and laughed, "If you want, I can walk the red carpet with you in a while on Oscar Night."
Hugo did not answer Tom, but looked at Nicole standing beside her and raised her hands, "I'm innocent." A simple explanation made Nicole unable to help but cover her mouth and laugh.
Immediately afterwards, Tom Hanks also arrived at the scene, with Steven Spielberg and Hugo only separated from his seat, which reminded Hugo of the arrangements of Charlize and Gwyneth. Obviously, this was done intentionally in order to increase the ratings of the award ceremony. After all, the brilliant record of "Titanic" last year has set an insurmountable peak. No work has led the way this year, but the melee between the five works is a big highlight.
After a brief greeting, everyone took their seats. Tom Cruise looked around, turned his head and asked softly in Hugo's ear, "I heard at the Actors' Union yesterday that Shakespeare is about to reach the top." Tom was worried that there were still people around, and his voice was very small and very simple.
Hugo was stunned for a second before he realized, then gently outlined the corner of his mouth and showed a smile, "It seems they are bound to get it." In fact, in the past two months, this has been the voting time of the college judges, and the whole Hollywood is very lively. Even if Hugo hides in the remote Lanchez, he has heard a lot of rumors, which shows that the "Shapes' Love History" is so powerful.
Tom originally wanted to verify from Hugo. After all, because of Nicole, he must be in the camp of "Trumen's World", but Hugo's answer made Tom stunned. The news sounded bad. Hugo did not let Tom continue thinking deeply, and patted his shoulder, "It's a countdown."
Only then did Tom pack up his trivial thoughts and focus on the upcoming award ceremony.
Soon, the 71st Oscar began. Under the attention of everyone, Whoopi Goldberg appeared gracefully on the stage wearing Elizabeth I's gorgeous palace costume. She painted her whole face white, but she kept her still black hands. Her appearance really made people laugh. Just a show made the scene burst into laughter.
This year, Elizabeth I was in the limelight. Not only did it have a spinning movie that allowed Cate Blanchett to be the finalist in the battle for the film queen; but it also showed off in the "Shapes' Love History". Elizabeth I, played by Judy Dench, also became the topic figure. Therefore, Oopi opened the prelude tonight with the attitude of Elizabeth I.
After a brief hilarious opening, the award ceremony soon kicked off. The first award was awarded without any surprise. This award has enough weight and will not break the most important suspense of the award ceremony, so it is almost as usual to be presented first.
Last year's Best Supporting Actor winner, Robin Williams, took to the stage and skillfully opened the show with his humor. In fact, tonight's Best Supporting Actress Award is a very suspenseful award, because according to convention, this department often commends young new actresses, such as Charlize last year, but the three popular favorites who were shortlisted for the awards this year are all senior actors over the age of 50, and the only two "two" actors have a weak voice, so the final choice of Oscar is also intriguing.
