Chapter 751 751 Suspense revealed
Marisa Tome, an actor who is about to turn 30 this year, is definitely a newcomer. Although she started playing supporting roles in 1986, it was not until the "Oscar" in 1991 that she got a small role with lines. However, it was only a year since the precipitation that "my cousin.vinny" in 1992 made her come out of nomination. Not only did she win the Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress for the first time in her career, but it also continued the tradition of commending newcomers in the department and won her first Little Golden Man in one fell swoop.
In fact, Marissa has never been the kind of actor who is very popular in Hollywood, but her solid acting skills have always been an indispensable backbone. After winning her first Little Golden Man, her pace did not stop. Then she relied on the "In.the.bedroom" in 2001 and the "Wrestler" in 2008, she won two Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress, which is a height that many actors have never reached.
Marisa, who is still slightly immature now, walked onto the stage nervously, stumbled and finished her lines honestly according to the script, and then let the audience watch the big screen.
The short film on the big screen introduces the audience to the nominees for the best supporting actor this year.
At this moment, Jack suddenly became excited and smashed Adam who was sitting beside him twice, "Hey, hey, Hugo!"
There was no need for Jack to say that Adam became nervous at the first time. In fact, as early as the first short film was broadcasting, introducing Leonardo DiCaprio, Adam's muscles had already become tense. He knew very clearly that Hugo was the winner of the Best Supporting Actor Award, and when Jack noticed, Hugo's short film had already appeared.
On the big screen, Hugo in the black and white picture stood in front of the mirror wearing a white shirt. All the three buttons on it were loosened. His hair was a little messy. He looked at himself in the mirror expressionlessly, slowly raised his right hand to combed the messy hair, then looked at his expression carefully, raised his chin slightly, he hesitated to extend the index and middle fingers of his right hand, pointing to himself in the mirror, and opened his lips, "I forgive you." Then, his fingertips slowly touched the surface of the mirror, and the quiet eyes emitted a cold light, which made people shudder.
Viewers who have seen the "Schindler's List" remember this scene. It was after Amon Gos persuaded by Schindler and decided to implement his emperor's abilities and pardon those guilty. This sentence "I pardon you" is a famous line that demonstrates Amon's power. He also pardoned several "sinners", but at this moment, what he said is to pardon the young man who had not cleaned the bathtub just now? Or to pardon himself who was about to let go of his sins?
It should be the latter. Because within two seconds, gunfire sounded, and the boy who had just left the villa fell in a pool of blood. Amon made a choice. He chose to use force and cruelty to show his power. As the emperor, he pardoned himself and released the devil in his heart again.
The big screen turned black and the gunshot rang out, making all viewers who saw this short film shudder, and in an instant it seemed like they had returned to the heavy story of "Schindler's List".
"Hugo, that kid is really... crazy, isn't he?" Jack only felt his heart curl up. He couldn't help but pat Adam's hand gently and said with sigh.
Adam didn't say anything, he just looked at the TV screen quietly. Marisa, who was standing in the center of the stage, said after the short film, "'Schindler's list', Hugo Lancaster." Then, the camera pointed at Hugo in the audience. Adam looked at his son sitting in the chair, as if he noticed his son's nervousness, and a faint smile appeared in his eyes.
Hugo was sitting on the chair at this time, looking at the camera hanging in front of him, pulling the corner of his mouth and trying to show a smile. He succeeded, but the tension in his heart swept over, and his hand on his knee couldn't help but hold it. He could clearly feel the stiffness of his muscles, the sound of his heart hitting his chest was so clear, making the eardrums tremble slightly, and even the sound of his temples beating was so clear.
It turns out that's what it feels like.
Before attending the award ceremony, Hugo told herself not to care, but it was just a slightly grander award ceremony. How many people were eager to never win the Oscars in their entire lives because it required luck.
What's more, the Little Golden Man is indeed the highest award in the film industry, but it is not the only award. The most obvious example is Alfred Hitchcock and Stanley Kubrick, two film masters, who are wizards of the world, but they have never been favored by the Oscars in their entire lives, but no one dares to deny their greatness.
Next is "Citizen Kane". This movie missed the Oscar, which made Orson Welles very angry and even cursed. But history finally gave this movie a cleansing point. In the rankings of major classic movies, "Citizen Kane" ranked first for half a century.
All this proves that Oscars do have authority and are the most important awards around the world, but they are not the only, not the only standard, not the only authority, not the only greatness, absolutely not.
People say that the more you desire, the less you won’t get it. This is the reality. So Hugo keeps persuading himself to calm his mind and not to ask for extravagant demands, and everything will go with the flow.
But only when you really come to this position can you feel the desire and tension. Even the two masters Hitchcock and Kubrick regretted missing the Oscar, and even Orson Wells was very upset because they did not win the Little Golden Man, so it is hard to be an exception for Hugo. Not everyone can become a noble literary person like Woody Allen.
It is really simple to say sarcastic words. Even Hugo's mentality was adjusted very well before the award ceremony officially began, and he was easily involved in the battle. But when the answer was revealed, the tension instantly grabbed the heart tightly, leaving Hugo without any ability to resist and was controlled by the nervous mood.
Hugo couldn't help swallowing, but found that his throat was very dry and the hard feeling made him feel like he was about to evaporate. Even if he was performing on the street, even if he was on the big stage for the first time until his death, even if he was acting in front of Al Pacino or Jack Nicholson, he was not as nervous as he was at this moment.
Marisa on the stage continued to introduce the camera, showing that the red light being recorded was out, turning to the next candidate, Tommy Lee Jones.
Hugo turned his head with difficulty and looked at Leonardo sitting next to him. At this time, Leonardo's condition was worse than Hugo. At least Hugo's expression was not too much, but it was just a little stiff. However, Leonardo's face turned extremely pale at this time, and two faint blush appeared in the sweat. Leonardo's nervousness could be easily read with just a look.
Seeing Leonardo's embarrassing appearance, Hugo couldn't help but feel relaxed a little, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was outlined. Although Leonardo's mentality was even more relaxed than Hugo before the award ceremony, and he seemed to be just like coming to enjoy it, but at this critical moment, he was no exception and nervous.
Hugo remembered Leonardo, who had been defeated repeatedly on the Oscar journey after the 21st century. At that time, he was over 30 years old. Leonardo, who had been in Hollywood for more than ten years, was still nervous. Hugo even remembered that at the 86th Oscar in 2014, Leonardo lost again. When he lost to Matthew McConaughey, who also had a dark history of idols, even if he was calm and smiled and gave applause to Matthew, his blue eyes were still filled with tears. What's more, the young boy who is only nineteen years old now?
Probably, the tension of Tommy, John, and Pete are not much better at this moment. Even Pete, who is hailed as the lowest chance, is no exception. After all, there is hope as long as it is shortlisted. In theory, everyone has a 20% chance of winning the prize, so the tension undoubtedly locks everyone firmly.
Leonardo was one step late before he noticed Hugo's eyes, and turned his head with difficulty, just like a robot, and a robot lacking lubricant. He turned his head creaked and creaked. The eyes of the two people collided in the air, and Leonardo swallowed with difficulty.
Hugo couldn't help but feel a little funny. Although he was so nervous that he still asked with his mouth, "How are you?"
Leonardo widened his eyes, looked at Hugo in surprise, and answered with his expression and movements all over his body: I'm not good.
Hugo opened his left hand, rubbed the sweat on his palm on his thigh, then patted Leonardo's cold back of his hand, and said with his mouth, "Now." It means that it is about to end. Although he is so nervous at this time, after Marisa reveals the answer, no matter who wins the prize, the nervousness will be released immediately.
Leonardo couldn't help but pull the corners of his mouth. I don't know if he saw Hugo's nervous expression, or felt the comfort conveyed by Hugo, or the sentence "Immediately" made him see the hope of being saved, which made Leonardo feel a little more relaxed.
It took only a few seconds before and after this. When I turned my head and saw it again on the stage, I just finished playing the short introduction of John Markovic, and then the big screen switched to the live broadcast of the five candidates. This means that the candidates have been introduced and the winners will be announced.
Hugo took advantage of Marisa's speech and glanced at the big screen. Although he couldn't see the emotions of others, the stiff face lines still revealed the tension in everyone's heart. Even Tommy was no exception. This made Hugo breathe a sigh of relief. He turned his head and saw Marisa standing on the stage saying:
Chapter completed!
