The biggest favorites in the Best Supporting Actress Department before the Oscar were Lynn Redgreve of "Gods and Beasts" and Casey Bates of "Rushing" who won the Golden Globe Award, while the latter won the American Actors' Union Award. Both actors were born in the 1940s and have been in Hollywood for more than 30 years, and have both won several Oscar nominations. They are not only hard work, but also recognized as veteran actors in the industry.

Among the five candidates, Rachel Griffith, who was "solute than fireworks", was only 30 years old, and she was about 31 years old this year. However, Rachel's call was obviously weak, and she was not even nominated for the Golden Globes and the American Actors' Union Awards. Nicole received all nominations throughout the awards season, but always accompanied her.

Although the best supporting actresses in previous years always like to commend new actresses, the situation this year is different. Not only are Lynn and Casey both over fifty years old, but there is also a candidate named Judy Denchi who is 63 years old and is "older" at the age of 63. Therefore, it is generally believed that the awards will be produced among the three veterans.

There is no doubt that Judy's legend is that she was awarded the Order of the British Empire in 1970 and was named the Dame of the British Empire in 1988, and is naturally because of her great contribution to the stage plays and the film industry. Therefore, people always affectionately call her "Sir Denkey".

Judy played in "Shapespeare's Love History", but her performance was really great. However, at the beginning of the awards season, almost no one thought that the best supporting actress should be awarded to Judy was not that she performed poorly, but that Lynn and Casey's performances were not inferior, and it was even more commendable. The quality of the works was almost the same as "Shapespeare's Love History". Therefore, Lynn won the Golden Globe Award, while Casey dominated the American Actors' Union Award.

Almost everyone believes that the Oscar Little Golden Man will be produced between Lynn and Casey.

But Robin Williams announced another answer, "Judy Dench, 'Shapes' Love History'."

In an instant, everyone was stunned, but for a moment, the first applause appeared. No one noticed that it was Harvey Weinstein who stood up. Then everyone in the audience stood up and applauded, expressing their respect and admiration for Sir Denkey with practical actions!

Is Judy worthy of this little golden man? No, obviously not. The scale of the audience standing together proves that she is definitely not a dark horse, which is what she deserves. However, the result is still a huge accident. Almost everyone is optimistic about Lynn or Casey, but Judy achieves a counterattack. This is really incredible.

Hugo stood up, and Tom Cruise and his wife also stood up. Nicole tried to maintain a graceful and decent smile on her face. After all, she had no chance of winning the awards throughout the awards season. It was really frustrating that she could not win the award. At this time, there was still a faint loss hidden between her eyebrows.

However, Tom exchanged a glance with Hugo, and then Hugo turned his head and saw a similar sight in Steven's eyes. Their eyes all had the same meaning: "Shapespeare's Love History".

Compared to Judy's award, the success of "Shapes' Love History" behind the scenes is the most eye-catching. No wonder the Weinstein Brothers feel that they are sure to win. They overturned two veteran actors, Lynn and Casey, in an almost impossible project, and made Judy successfully take over. This made the direction of the award ceremony next full of countless suspense.

If the Best Supporting Actress Department is just an "accident" and Judy's outstanding strength makes her final victory sufficiently convincing, then the Best Supporting Actress Department will be shockingly unpopular, indicating that it will definitely not be calm tonight.

The five actors shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor are James Coburn of "Suffering", Robert Duval of "The Forbidden Truth", Ed Harris of "Trumen's World", Jeffrey Rush of "Shapes' Love History", and Billy Bob Sonton of "Three-point Stunning Money".

Among these five candidates, Robert, Ed and Jeffrey are three actors with outstanding strength, strong quality of their works, and their overall momentum stands out.

Relatively speaking, Billy was also a running role in the entire awards season. He won a lot of nominations, but never won the award; while James Coburn's finalist was considered a big upset, because the more outstanding work of "Suffering" is the male lead Nick Nott. James was not nominated in the Golden Globes and the American Actors' Union and other major cities. As a result, when his name appeared on the nomination list, everyone was in an uproar. This was also the first acting nomination in James' forty years of his career.

So, almost everyone focused their attention on Robert, Ed and Jeffrey.

Objectively speaking, Jeffrey's performance in "Shapes' Love History" is pretty good, without much highlights, and he relies more on the strong momentum of the entire movie to be shortlisted. What's more, he just won the Oscar winner only two years ago, and now it's far from the time he wins the award again. So the competition mainly begins between Robert and Ed.

Robert is the choice of the American Actors Union Award, while Ed is the winner of the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. Both of them can be regarded as actors with great praise in the industry. They are incomparable and have a very close reputation. Robert is the winner of the 56th Academy Awards, but fifteen years have passed so far, so it is still a difficult choice to choose between Ed and Robert.

However, when Charlize Theron opened the envelope as the award presenter, he could not hide his pause when he saw the answer. Although his expression did not change much, Hugo could feel that this was not the result he imagined. Sure enough, Charlize announced the final winner, "James Coburn, 'suffering'."

It is no exaggeration to say that the audience was in an uproar. Even if everyone knew that being shortlisted meant that there was a possibility of winning a prize, it was still difficult to control the turbulence in his heart when he heard this result.

Cranes and clams fight, fishermen gain benefits. This is the only thought in everyone's heart. Who could have expected that the thin ice showdown between Ed and Robert finally made James' first nomination and first award winner. An Oscar Little Golden Man unexpectedly became the most important coordinate in James' forty-year career in actors. What's ridiculous is that the movie "Suffering" was not revealed throughout the awards season, and was gently ignored by countless people.

Although Hugo knew that this was wrong, he still couldn't control himself: Did the Weinstein brothers push behind the scenes? Since Jeffrey had no hope of winning the award, did they push James up while people were hesitant and unable to make a decision?

Hugo knew that this idea was ridiculous and nonsense, but in the later awards season, there was a saying: among the five candidates, if the gap between the first and second-place leaders was too small, and the judges would often fail to make a decision when voting, so they would simply choose the third place. Therefore, there were often cases where the top seed and the second-ranked popular both failed and the third candidate won.

Therefore, Hugo had no way to control himself from making such speculations, even if he knew that he was judging a gentleman with a villain's heart, even if he knew that James, who was already seventy years old this year, received this award, was his honor...

Regardless of whether Hugo's idea was correct or not, it is undeniable that "Trueman's World" missed the good start tonight and missed the first award. "Shapespeare's Love History" and "Suffering" each won a small golden man, opening the grand overture of the 71st Oscar.

However, the trend of the award ceremony was sounding the alarm, and every detail indicates that the Weinstein brothers' confidence was definitely not groundless, and the trajectory of history seemed to be moving quickly towards the familiar direction Hugo could not contain it at all.

In the competition for the Best Art Direction Award, strong opponents such as "Elizabeth" and "Save Private Ryan" failed to stop "Shapes' Love History" from taking off the second Little Golden Man tonight.

Although in the competition for the Best Makeup Awards, "Elizabeth" relied on the heavy and wonderful history to defeat "Shape's Love History" and "Save the Soldier Ryan" and won the Little Golden Man; the Best Clothing Design Awards that were awarded immediately followed, "Elizabeth" and "Velvet Gold Mining" who had previously been called out did not win, but once again witnessed the strength of "Shape's Love History" and witnessed Sandy Powell on stage to receive the award.

The award ceremony has only passed one-third, and the "Shapes' Love History" continued its strength in the nomination stage, and won three of the five nomination departments in one fell swoop. The outstanding performance is enough to be comparable to last year's "Titanic". What's even more terrifying is that among these departments, "Save the Soldier Ryan" can be said to be defeated step by step and has almost no power to fight back. This situation is probably something that no one can predict, even the Weinstein brothers themselves did not imagine: the effect would be so good.

The Oscar judges sitting in the hall of Doroth Chandler could not help but start to emerge from countless question marks: Where did "Save Private Ryan" go? Where did "Truemon's World" go? Where did the "thin red line" and "beautiful life" go? Why did "Shapes' Love History" complete the sweep? What exactly is going on? Wait...what did you choose on your voting card?

This sense of déjà vu but inconspicuous hazy makes many judges have an ominous premonition.

Could it be that tonight's Oscars' ceremony really witnessed the top trend of "Shapes' Love History", just like last year's "Titanic"? Why is this scene not a proud sense of participation, but an inexplicable guilt, and even dare not look at the eyes of other colleagues around you? This feeling is not good, it is really bad.
