Unlike award ceremony such as the Oscars and Golden Globes, the award ceremony of the three major film festivals is relatively simple. There is no grand evening party or exciting awards process. It is more like a summary meeting, that is, the closing ceremony, awarding the major awards and commending works participating in the film festival. That's all.

This is also because the main body of the film festival has always been part of the previous film screenings, and the award ceremony can only be regarded as a summary.

Similarly, the award setting at the film festival is relatively simple. Take Cannes as an example. In addition to the highest award Palme d'Or, the jury award is equivalent to the second place, which can be regarded as the third place jury award, and then the best actor, best actress, best director, and best screenwriter. There are only seven awards in total.

In addition, there is another award called the Finesci Award (fipresci.p zes), which is also called the International Film Critics Award or the Finesci International Film Critics Award. This is an off-client award and is not affiliated with any film exhibition unit. Instead, it is a jury formed by the International Film Critics Association and awarded before the Film Festival Award Ceremony. This award exists in major film festivals around the world, including the three major European film festivals.

Therefore, in fact, the award ceremony of the film festival is more concise. Without the noisy and prosperous Oscars and Golden Globes, it is actually a little more pure.

After the award ceremony began, there was no complicated opening. After the jury chairman Clint Eastwood came on stage and made a simple speech, he entered the award ceremony.

The first award was awarded the Best Screenwriter Award. This year's Cannes Film Festival ushered in a big explosion, with excellent works gathered, and the overall quality is no less than last year's grand occasion of "Farewell My Concubine" and "Piano Love" being tied for the Palme d'Or.

Last year, a group of film masters such as Hou Xiaoxian, Chen Kai Ge, Ken Roach, Mike Lee (Mike.leigh), Wim Wenders, Kitano Takeshi, Steven Soderbergh, Andre Tessine (andre.techine) were gathered together. The fierce competition was awesome for the media. In the end, not only was the Palme d'Or tied out, but the Jury Award also tied out, which was a rare grand occasion.

Although the overall momentum this year seems to be worse than last year, because the number of famous directors is slightly inferior, the quality of the entries is not inferior. Five or six of the works have the ability to win the Palme d'Or in the eyes of the media, which also made the reporters' speculation about the awards before the ceremony began, and they were full of prosperity.

The unpopularity broke out in the first Best Screenwriter Award. The "Pulp Novel" that was originally considered to be the most promising to win the award did not win, but the French film "Gross Fatigue" won the surprise.

After the release of "I'm so tired" in Cannes, it was generally believed that "the first half is well-conceived, but lacks stamina", and its overall strength is relatively weak. It is considered that the quality is not as good as the director Michelle Brown (fan chel.blanc), who has achieved brilliant achievements in the position of actor, has been widely regarded as the debut of the director Michelle Brown (fan chel.blanc) ten years ago.

As a result, he was "deeply tired" but took away the first prize tonight in a dark horse manner, which immediately made the entire award ceremony more shocked.

The award for Best Actress was once again unpopular. Irene Jacob, who was previously known as the biggest favorite, lost. The name he said from the mouth of the award presenter was Virna Lis (virna.li), which really made everyone's glasses.

Only at this moment can people clearly feel that this is the Cannes Film Festival! People can never make accurate predictions about awards!

In the competition for the best actress, Ilena Jacob, who is considered to have contributed an absolutely wonderful performance, is the heroine of the "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy", and her performance has even been praised by "gloriously dazzling". In addition to her, Isabel Adjani, the heroine of "Queen Margo", is also considered a strong contender. She appeared on the big screen again after many years in the film industry and still contributed an amazing performance.

But the result is neither Ilena nor Isabel, but a supporting actress from "Queen Margo", who plays Margo's mother, Wilna!

Although among the three major film festivals, there is no distinction between the protagonist and the supporting role, only the best actor and the best actress were selected, which has led to more fierce competition. Many supporting roles also rely on exciting performances to seize the best actor or actress of the three major film festivals. But this time, Verna defeated the two heroines who contributed wonderful performances and finally won the queen in Cannes, which is really unpopular.

After both awards at the opening were unpopular, people didn't dare to have hope for the next Best Actor Award. Who knows what troubles the jury will do?

Before the award ceremony, the most popular actor winner was Jean-Louis Trilogy Red (Jean-louis.tnignant), the leading actor in the movie, deserved the word "stunning", which made many people applaud.

The male lead of the movie "Scarlet Sun" is even known as the biggest discovery in Cannes this year. This tough guy from Russia does not have the toughness and toughness he remembers. Instead, he has a French melancholy and gorgeousness, and his gentle eyes are all playful. His wonderful performance in "Scarlet Sun" was a stunning success, and instantly made him famous in Europe.

In addition to these two actors, the "living" male protagonist Ge You and Hugo of "Pulp Novels" have a slightly inferior momentum, but the gap is not obvious.

Therefore, the already confusing competition for awards now has the foundation for the best screenwriter and best actress, which is increasingly unpredictable.

Quentin looked at Hugo sitting on his right hand, chuckled, and pushed Hugo's little arm with his elbow, "Nervous?"

There were not many people coming to the crew of "Pulp Novels", namely, the five brothers Hugo, Uma, Quentin and Weinstein. The five were sitting in a row. Hugo sat in the most aisle. He looked at Quentin, outlined the corners of his mouth and smiled, "No!" Such a straightforward and neat answer made Quentin feel embarrassed and curled his lips depressed.

Hugo was really not nervous at this time, and there were many reasons. The main reason was that after experiencing the tightness of the Oscars, Hugo had a little more attention to the awards, which was also a sign of maturity. In addition, compared to himself, Hugo still hoped that "pulp novels" could develop according to the historical trajectory and win the Palme d'Or. This is the recognition this work should have in the long river of history, so he was very open to his personal awards.

Besides, it is more difficult to win awards at the International Film Festival, because all the finalists are qualified to compete for all awards. Simply put, the twenty-five works that were shortlisted for the main competition unit, and all the male actors in it are qualified to compete for the best actor, which makes every award competition in the festival a melee.

If Hugo remembers correctly, if he participates in the competition this year, then the final winner of the Best Actor should be Ge You, because he became the first Chinese Cannes actor in history. Hugo is willing to vote for Ge You.

So, when Paul Newman came on stage as an award presenter, Hugo was very relaxed and had time to joke with Quentin. This situation was absolutely impossible to see at the Oscar two months ago. Even if Hugo wanted to joke, his expression was probably completely stiff.

Paul stood in front of the microphone and did not give too much polite greetings. He just said a few simple words and prepared to present the award. "In 1994, at the 47th Cannes Film Festival, the winner of the Best Actor is..." Then Paul opened the envelope. If it was an occasion like the Golden Globe, the guests might have to create suspense, but they didn't need it at the film festival, including taking a look at the jam in the envelope and talking directly.

"Ge You, from 'live'." After Paul's voice came out of the microphone, applause immediately sounded, and Hugo was no exception. He and Quentin looked at each other and then clapped at the same time. Everyone around the crew came forward to congratulate Ge You.

To be honest, Ge You deserves the award. Although it can be considered unpopular in the eyes of the media, it is at least much better than the previous two awards.

But Paul ignored everyone's applause, raised his voice again, and said in a louder voice, "Also, Hugo Lancaster, from 'pulp novels'." After that, Paul was the first to applaud without waiting for the audience to react. The "papapapapapapapa" applause came from the microphone, reawakening the slightly dull nerves of the audience.

All the audience was stunned for a moment, but they quickly reacted, and looked towards the "Pulp Novel" crew and congratulated with applause. The wave of applause at the scene actually reached a higher level, and some people even started to whistle. This was also the birth of the double egg yolks after the Palme drew last year!

Hugo and Quentin were standing up and clapping while looking at Ge You, but before they could fully stand up, they heard Paul's voice, "Crash" everyone's eyes were concentrated, which made Hugo stunned for a moment and looked at Quentin in confusion, but Quentin had already reacted immediately. The smile on his face immediately bloomed, and then gave Hugo a hug, "Congratulations! Congratulations!" While saying that, he slapped Hugo's back hard.

The Weinstein brothers next to him also leaned towards Hugo with a smile, and his palm-like palm greeted Hugo's shoulders with a strong pain, making Hugo grin; even Uma, who was standing at the farthest, applauded with an elegant smile, but her eyes hidden in the dark were flashing with mixed light, and perhaps even she herself could not read the true meaning of this emotion.

At this time, Hugo understood this fact with his physical pain: he won the Cannes Best Actor!
