Charlize felt that his muscles were extremely tense, as if they were about to explode in the next second. This feeling made her feel that her throat was hot, and even if she swallowed her saliva, it would be useless.

Charlize subconsciously looked around and tried to find Hugo's figure. Perhaps she could return to normal after seeing Hugo's sarcastic smile. But the faces on both sides were a little blurred. Although she was not sure who they were, her brain was completely blank, she knew that this was not Hugo.

Through the crowd of people, Charlize glanced at a hazy gaze. The warm eyes seemed to have a hint of gloating. "Looking at your nervous look, it's such a mess." The sight was not obvious in the dim lights and dense crowds, and he could only be vaguely noticed. But Charlize knew that it was him, Hugo, and the sarcastic and ridiculous look was him, which made Charlize's smile inexplicably outline. She just wanted to give Hugo a middle finger.

Jack Nicholson walked onto the stage. Looking at Jack's old naughty smile, Charlize's tense shoulder line began to relax inexplicably. He let out a long breath and returned to calm, as if she was just a bystander, and had nothing to do with these awards. The list of nominees on the big screen did not look like her. Thinking of this, Charlize felt a little funny, and the smile on the corner of his mouth gently outlined.

However, the relaxation of the brain is not synchronized with the body, because Charlize could still feel the stiffness of the body's muscles and could hardly move. This feeling was really strange, which made Charlize start to think seriously: If I don't win the award, then forget it. If I win the award but can't get up in place, wouldn't it be embarrassing to leave home?

Jack stood on the stage, and after introducing the candidate, he looked in the direction where Hugo was, laughing, as if he said again, "How are you nervous, are you?"

In fact, Hugo was really nervous at this time, even more nervous than being the candidate himself. His muscles were like a stone, and he could not move at all. All the thoughts in his brain became a cloud of mucus. He had the intention to turn his head and laugh at Charlize's stiffness, but at this time he was the real dumbfounded chicken, and he couldn't even smile.

Because Hugo knew what the work "Female Devil" means to Charlize, if you miss this time, no one knows when the next time will be; but according to the historical trajectory, Gwyneth, who is "Shapes' Love History", finally won. So Hugo was nervous, and he was even more nervous than anyone else. The uneasiness of hesitation between the known and the unknown almost suffocated him.

Even Tom, who was sitting next to him, noticed Hugo's tightness. He patted Hugo's arm and asked with his eyes, "Are you okay?" Hugo only felt that his head was like a rusty robot, and even a turning position was extremely difficult. Finally, he pulled out a smile that was even ugly than crying, which made Tom both surprised and funny.

"Let's just skip those tedious stages. I know everyone cares about the results in my hands. In fact, I'm more curious than you all, so..." Jack waved the red envelope in his hand, "I won't create suspense anymore, so I won't suffer. I'm also curious about the sudden outbreak of heart disease here." Jack's humor made the audience laugh.

Gwyneth was also smiling, but she was completely different from the other audiences around her. She was greeting her little golden man with a smile, just like a queen who ascended the throne with a smile and accepted worship from her subjects. The confident and elegant smile was as if she was accurately measured with a ruler, perfectly like a mask.

Gwyneth was not nervous at all. On the contrary, she completely relaxed because she was simulating her posture on the stage in her mind. This was a moment when everyone in the world was paying attention to. She wanted to show her most perfect side and then go on stage gracefully. She had even begun to think about how she took the Little Golden Man from Jack, how to walk to the microphone, how to show her excitement, and how to express her award speech...

The award speech, yes. Gwyneth quietly put the right hand on the chair, put the completely wet note in her palm on the chair and sewed it. She would never come on stage with the note of the award speech. That was too embarrassing. What's more, she had memorized the award speech countless times and would not make any mistakes.

Gwyneth thought about it carefully and after confirming that everything was perfect, she breathed a little relieved. She raised her head, and then Gwyneth saw Jack looking down at the card in the envelope. She adjusted her breathing and re-outlined the confident and calm smile: She was ready to go on stage to receive the award!

Jack looked down at the card in his hand, nodded while showing a research look, and then said to the microphone, "Very good, I know the answer, then now, we can start chatting." This sentence made everyone laugh at the scene. Charlize was also chuckling, but she found that her "body" had no reaction, and her facial expression was completely stiff, which made Charlize a little depressed. His body was also too stiff.

Jack raised the card in his hand, "The winner of the 71st Academy Awards is..." Jack looked down at the audience waiting for the results under the stage, and showed a big smile, "Charlize Theron, 'female. Devil'."

"Boom", Hugo only felt that all the thoughts in his mind exploded. He couldn't help but hold the fists of his hands and vent his inner joy and happiness happily. Many people around him stood up one after another and began to applaud and congratulate, but there was a sound of surprise in the applause, "Huh?"

Hugo raised his head and found that the crowd had blocked his eyes. He looked back at Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, and found that the expressions of the two were also somewhat unpredictable. Hugo immediately stood up and looked in the direction where Charlize was. But Hugo saw Gwyneth at first sight.

Gwyneth walked forward two steps, holding her skirt in both hands, and a perfect smile appeared on her face. The camera recorded the scene in reality as if she was the winner. But after two steps, Gwyneth realized that everyone around her looked at her with surprise. Before she could think, Bob quickly walked up and stood beside Gwyneth, almost squeezed out the sound from the cracks of her teeth, "It's not you!"

Gwyneth was struck by lightning and could not react at all. Then Gwyneth turned around and looked to the left under Bob's control, and clapped in a wooden manner, as if she had just walked forward just to express her congratulations to the real winner from a better perspective.

At this time, Charlize was sitting in the chair without any reaction and was completely stunned. Meryl, who was sitting next to him, patted Charlize's arm, then gave her a big hug, reminding her in her ear, "Dear, congratulations, your performance is really wonderful!"

Charlize's soul wandering outside returned to his body, but his muscles were stiff and unable to move, which made Charlize curse in his heart and said self-deprecatingly, "Now, you're like a fool, so excited that you can't help yourself, and then you're seen by everyone. Perfect, so perfect!"

Charlize finally came to his senses, gave Meryl a hug, and then stood up. However, the first attempt failed, and he fell down again, which made a kind laugh sound in the hall. Charlize himself laughed without any image and stood up again.

After walking two steps forward, Gwyneth took the initiative to walk forward and gave Charlize a hug. This made Charlize confused. She obviously didn't notice the small episode that just happened. Gwyneth obviously came back to her senses at this time and was trying to hide her rudeness in this way, but her stiff expression, wooden movements, and twisted eyes revealed the most real emotions in her heart.

She lost.

The Best Actress Award was Charlize, not her. She could hardly believe such a fact, but when she looked back at Bob and Harvey, the two of them were as disbelief as a defeated rooster, which completely destroyed the last line of defense in Gwyneth's heart. "No! Not like this! It shouldn't be like this! The winner should be me, I should have brought the Little Golden Man and mocked Hugo on Oscar Night! Then I looked at Hugo's proud expression and became embarrassed!"

Charlize had already taken another step, leaving Gwyneth and Bob behind him, and walked onto the stage with a stuttering bang, taking the Little Golden Man from Jack. Jack gave Charlize a big hug and said enthusiastically in her ear, "It's my honor to be able to present you an award."

Charlize felt as if he was stepping on the clouds. The thunderous applause in front of him was connected. After a long time, everyone had already stood up. The darkness made the stage light look like an endless ocean, surging with dazzling light, so beautiful that it was not real, just like a dream that would never wake up. His feet could not step on the ground at all, and there was only nothingness. Then, Charlize saw Hugo's gaze in the crowd, and the warm and hot gaze was flashing with crystal tears, staring at him motionlessly. The happiness was like an electric shock, rising from the soles of his feet, making Charlize finally wake up completely.

It happened, and all this happened. She won the Oscar for Best Actress, and she won the second little golden man in her career, and won the new best actress!
