Hugo felt that she was absolutely dazed. He actually forgot about this incident. He was the winner of the Best Actor last year, and naturally he was the guest of the Best Actress this year. And Charlize was the same. She came backstage as the guest of the Best Actor this year.

Hugo looked at Charlize's gloating smile, grinded his teeth fiercely, walked to Charlize, lowered his head and said in her ear, "When you go home tonight, you can still smile." After that, Hugo handed the little golden man to Charlize, followed the staff to the side, and began to prepare for the sermon. When he looked back, he found Charlize's astonished and shy expression, which made Hugo proudly outline the corner of his mouth.

On the stage, Steven is revealing the Best Director Award. In fact, the award ceremony has reached this stage, and the "Supernatural Sixth Sense" fell behind because he missed the best original script; "Green Miracle" and "The Law of Cider House" have also fallen behind because they did not win a single award and were not shortlisted for the main character department; those who can compete with "Beautiful Mind" were also left behind the last seed player and the strongest competitor to "shock the inside story".

Although "Shocking Insider" has not yet been opened, both the Best Actor and Best Director departments have been shortlisted for the competition. If both awards are won, then there is still hope to fight the "Beautiful Mind". This also leaves a trace of suspense left behind.

Unfortunately, this last suspense was also stifled. After winning the American Directors Union Award, Lang Howard successfully won the Oscar and won his first Oscar.

At this time, the suspense of the best film no longer exists. After covering four small golden men, the "Beautiful Mind" is already ahead of its own, and it is impossible for other works to launch a counterattack. Perhaps, the only suspense at the moment is who will be the winner of the Best Actor Award?

After Steven and Long left the stage together, Hugo made another appearance. This time he was the guest of the award for Best Actress. However, due to the limited suspense of this award, Hillary Swank was ahead with his outstanding performance in "Boys Don't Cry". Even Jenny McTeal, who had a wonderful performance in "Dandelion", could hardly make a comeback, so the atmosphere on the scene seemed relatively relaxed.

Finally, Hugo revealed the answer, "Hillary Swank, 'Don't cry, boy,'" Such a suspenseless answer made the scene calm. Everyone just stood up and congratulated Hillary with applause. Following last year's Charlize, another actress under the age of 30 was born. The Oscars are undergoing earth-shaking changes at the turn of the century.

Hillary, who walked onto the stage, was sobbing. When she took the Little Golden Man from Hugo, her hands were trembling uncontrollably. Even if she was a step away, she could clearly feel the joy from the bottom of her heart. Hugo gave Hillary a big hug, then sincerely sent her blessings, and congratulated Hillary with applause.

When Hugo and Hillary returned to the side stage, Charlize was already on standby at the entrance. Hillary, who had just received the Little Golden Man, wiped her tears and showed a big smile, "I still remember the scene where you two won the award at the same time last year, which is really perfect." A sentence made Hugo and Charlize exchange a glance and laughed in silence.

Perhaps the 71st Oscar will become a classic forever, or will be talked about by people forever, but what is certain is that the wonderful moment of that night will remain in the long river of time forever and cannot be erased. Hugo and Charlize did not know whether this was a good or a bad thing, whether it belonged to them or everyone's memories.

Charlize congratulated Hillary again, gave Hugo a look, and then walked onto the stage under the guidance of the staff. Hugo turned back to the standby room, and then he saw Steven Spielberg, Lang Howard and others standing in the room. Steven waved to Hugo, "You don't go back to your seat, you have something to do with the next two awards."

"How did you know I'm wrong?" Hugo smiled and walked over, "Did both of your departments vote for me?"

Steven said with a smile, "Can I get around you? This seems to be a difficult task."

Hugo spread his hands and said, "Isn't this the reason why cancer is a cancer?" His calm look made all his colleagues in the standby room chuckled.

The reason why Hugo was able to be a "cancer" is because he was excellent enough that people could not ignore his existence at all. Just like Jack Nicholson, like Meryl Streep. Hugo's answer was calm, self-deprecating, and confident.

At the same time, many people in the audience were also talking about this topic, just like the Best Adapted Screenplay Award. People thought that Hugo was a Hollywood cancer and didn't vote for him, but many people were still hesitating and swaying, and finally chose Hugo, which made Hugo defeat a number of powerful competitors and won the Best Adapted Screenplay Award.

So what about now? What about the best actor department where Hugo's advantages are more obvious? In the department where almost no one can challenge Hugo? Is Hugo really going to achieve an incredible succession?

This is not just a simple success, but the third actor Little Golden Man in just five years. What's even more terrifying is that this feat was accomplished before the age of 33. In the long film history, there are only two actors under the age of 33 (excluding Hugo himself), Richard Dreyfuss and Maximilian Shell (maxi fan Lian.schell), and even with the best supporting actor, there are only six.

So, everyone became curious, and everyone was asking their partners around them, "Who did you vote for?" trying to find the answer that will be announced from clues.

Michael Mann looked at Russell Crow next to him in surprise, "What did you say?"

Russell shrugged, "I voted for Hugo, you heard it right."

Michael looked disbelief. Russell voted for his competitors when he joined the competition. This was indeed very rare, at least judging from Russell's expression, he didn't seem to be a joke, "Are you because of Hugo's kindness to you?" Michael asked curiously.

"Michael, you are disrespectful to Hugo and also disrespectful to me." Russell seemed a little unhappy. "Hugo's performance in the 'Beautiful Mind' is indeed the best. It can almost be said to be a standout. I think other competitors, including myself, are not on the same level as him, so my vote is very objective and fair."

Michael looked at Russell's excitement, which had attracted the attention of others around him. He had to put his finger on his lips, signal Russell to whisper, and then turned his head awkwardly to look at the stage without saying anything more. Obviously, Russell was unwilling to discuss in depth, so he turned to look at the stage.

After a while, Michael whispered to Russell, "Actually, I also voted for Hugo..."

The 72nd Academy Awards lineup for Best Actor can be called luxurious. The "sweet and humble" Sean Pan has completed the Cannes Film Festival, the Venetian Film Festival and the Berlin Film Festival in one fell swoop in the past three years. The winning rate is amazing, becoming the most sought-after actor in mainland Europe and even surpassing Hugo's influence.

Denzel Washington, the "Hurricane", is the number one black actor in the United States, and his influence and appeal are beyond doubt. He once won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1989, but has not yet been able to win the Best Actor Award. It is worth mentioning that he is also the Best Actor Award winner at this year's Berlin Film Festival.

Richard Farnsworth is 79 years old this year and is highly respected. He was shortlisted for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor in 1978. This year, his performance in "Mr. Street's Story" was well received and popular, winning cheers from critics.

Russell Crow can only be considered a junior among the nominees. The "Los Angeles Secret" in 1997 has entered Hollywood's sight. This time, the "Shocking Insider" acted against Al Pacino, and it was not at all stage frightened, and once again showed his acting potential, which is admirable.

But in fact, even with such a luxurious lineup, the overall feeling is still lacking. Whether it is the overall quality of the work, including "Shocking Insider", or the actor's performance completeness and character exploration, it has not been able to meet expectations. This also makes the actor's department that has always been the most competitive, dwarfed.

The Chicago Tribune even made this point, "If Hugo Lancaster's 'beautiful soul', this Oscar would be overshadowed and pale." This sentence is a pun, on the one hand, it talks about the competition for best films, and on the other hand, it talks about the battle for actors.

The reason why Hugo is so popular is not only because of his wonderful works in previous years, but also because he devoted two works "Supernatural Sixth Sense" and "Beautiful Mind" within a year last year, which reminds people of 1995. It is also because Hugo's role as John Nash showed absolute strength, which made everyone amazing. Whether it is the delicateness, accuracy, or the level of performance and connotation, Hugo has fully demonstrated the essence of his acting skills. Even the film critics who are picky and harsh can't help but be amazed.

But carrying the title of Hollywood cancer, this makes the competition for the best actor full of variables in an instant. Especially after Hugo took the lead in winning the best adapted script, Xiao Jinren, the vote-scoring crisis reached an unprecedented height, which also made the battle for the best actor tonight the ultimate suspense!

Under the gaze of everyone, Charlize Theron opened the red envelope in his hand.
