Superstar

No matter who wins the prize, it will create a history. Such a pattern is rare even at the Oscars.

If Tom Hanks wins, then he will be the second person in film history to win the title; if Morgan Freeman wins, then he will be the second black film king; if Paul Newman wins, then he will be Henry Fonda (henry.) is the second-oldest actor; if Hugo Lancaster wins, then he will be the first actor under 30 in film history.

All this makes the direction of the best actor the biggest attraction tonight.

Holly Hunter is one of the representatives of "The Charm of the Little Golden Man". Last year, after winning the Oscar for the "Little Golden Man" by "Piano Love", her career fell into a trough. There was no new work for the whole year. It was not long ago that she confirmed her latest work: she will join Robert Downey Jr. in the second work directed by Judy Foster, "The Enemy Family (...the..

From this choice, we can see Holly’s confusion. Choosing a commercial film cannot find a suitable script and a suitable price. It is difficult to choose an art film to make a breakthrough beyond the "piano love". After hesitating again and again, she chose Cast: Trust Judy Foster and Robert Downey Jr.

It can be said that Holly almost disappeared from the public for a whole year. If it weren't for the Oscars to come again, people would almost forget the actress who won the award at last year's awards ceremony. However, after Holly took the stage tonight, it was easy to become the focus of everyone's attention, because the envelope in her hand at this time is worth a thousand dollars!

"In the past year, we have enjoyed the wonderful performances of many male actors. There are experienced and intelligent gentlemen, and there are vigorous young boys..." Holly's voice was trembling slightly. She was not a good talker. , And the process of slowly entering silence from the peak in the past year has kept her away from the spotlight. At this time, the hot lights on the stage made her very uncomfortable.

But Holly’s nervousness did not help, because the eyes of the audience were tightly locked on her, including the countless viewers on the TV. Their eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the broadcast lens and project directly on Holly’s body, making Huo Lee's skin can feel the constant pressure of the hot factor.

The insiders are waiting for the announcement of the best actor, and then infer the direction of the final award; the outsiders are looking forward to which one of the five strong will come to the fore and make history.

The tense atmosphere made the air begin to tighten. Just as the big screen started to play the waiting list, Holly realized that he had forgotten this link. "I almost opened the envelope in advance. I was really excited." This action made the scene chuckle. "The nominees for the 67th Academy Award for Best Actor are... Morgan Freeman,'The Shawshank Redemption'..."

Sitting down the stage, Hugo's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry. The surrounding silence was set off by Holly's dry voice. He could clearly hear the slow but heavy beating of his heart, "Bang Bang! Bang!" The ground hit his chest, causing the blood vessels to start beating, and the muscles that were involved in the whole body became tight.

In fact, Hugo didn't think he was nervous.

At least compared to last year, Hugo's brain is very clear at this time, there is no particularly mixed and nervous emotions, he knows where he is, also knows where the awards ceremony is now, and knows what the announcement of the awards will represent. Hugo even has a leisurely mood to watch the expressions of other nominees on the big screen.

Morgan sat there with no expression on his face, his eyes full of wisdom hidden in his eye sockets, making people unpredictable; Paul had a small smile on the corners of his mouth, which made people clearly feel his calmness and comfort. An indifferent one is unmatched by others; Nigel’s tension far exceeded expectations. Although he tried to keep a smile, the muscles under his chin were already fully tightened, and the neck was even visible. Blue veins are slowly emerging.

Hugo watched the highlights of the nominees with interest, as well as the expressions of the nominees on the big screen through the camera lens, and analyzed their expressions with relish in his head. Therefore, Hugo is really not nervous.

But his head and body seemed to be separated. The burst of adrenaline made Hugo's body stiff, and the clear head kept his consciousness calm. Therefore, Hugo had a very strange feeling, as if he had been separated from his body, watching his body sit stiffly on a chair, and he became a bystander enthusiastically.

So, is this nervous or not?

Hugo suddenly burst into laughter in his mind. Maybe he was still nervous. When he learned that he might make history, when he learned that the history he knew might change, that kind of inexplicable The tension still firmly controlled his body.

However, at least he has improved compared to last year, a bit more leisurely, isn't he? Hugo thought optimistically, and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The camera immediately found Tom Hanks, his face sketched with that familiar indifferent smile, just like his gentle and amiable image on the big screen. However, Hugo, who is sitting next door, can still feel Tom’s body fully supported and maintained in a stiff and weird posture. The chair can feel the huge pressure from Tom, and then pass it on to Hugo. .

In the face of making history, even Tom is no exception. Hugo thought of Morgan and Paul. Perhaps only Paul can be completely detached, not only because he won the Golden Man after the honorary award, and achieved Consummation; but also because he has gone through too many cycles of nominations and defeats before, and that indifferent is time and time again. What settles down in a frustration is not something you can control if you want to control it.

While thinking about it, Hugo appeared on the big screen.

Hugo saw his slightly unnatural expression and completely stiff shoulder lines. He couldn't help but laugh. The curvature of the corners of his mouth unexpectedly rose, which made him look a lot more relaxed. The audience even whistled one after another, and the scene was so lively.

Before Hugo could react, the short film of the nominees was over, and the camera returned to Holly again. She shrugged slightly, "Then let us reveal the answer together." Holly lowered her head and opened her hands. He took out the card inside and took a look at the envelope, his eyes opened slightly, seeming a little surprised.

However, no matter who the answer is, everyone should be surprised, because the winner came to the fore after defeating the other four—or three strong competitors. The problem of choosing one out of four is more difficult than choosing one out of five in any previous year. Everyone has their own answers in their hearts, but they are not sure whether other people's ideas can be understood by themselves.

"The winner of the 67th Oscar's Best Actor..." Holly said here, took a deep breath, and looked down at the card again, as if to make sure that he was not dazzled.

Suddenly, Hugo returned to his senses. He finally regained control of his body, and he involuntarily exhaled a long breath. The heart that was beating slowly and heavily suddenly began to accelerate, which made him feel a little moist in his palm. , The brain that has been sober and calm also gets rid of all distracting thoughts, and all attention is focused on the stage.

"Tom Hanks, "Forrest Gump"."

Holly announced the answer, and the entire sacred auditorium fell into deathly silence, but it was only a blank space for less than half a second, and then thunderous applause rang out.

History is born! Tom Hanks became the second actor in the history of the Oscars to win the title of actor. He relied on a solid, simple, delicate but profound performance to accomplish this feat! From "Philadelphia Story" to "Forrest Gump", the actor who does not have any advantage in appearance has become the first North American male actor in one fell swoop, relying on his own efforts.

Perhaps this time Hugo is really not so nervous. When he heard the tone of "Tom", he had already reacted: After all, the historical trajectory was still unable to create a miracle. Tom still successfully aspired to the actor, and he regretted that with himself The first actor Xiao Jinren passed by.

Hugo sighed slightly, saying that he was not disappointed. It must be a lie. Hugo could feel the sense of loss of his heart rising high and then falling heavily, and there was a subtle sense of emptiness in his chest. But the smile at the corner of his mouth was quickly outlined, sincerely. Because Hugo knows that Tom’s victory deserves his name. There is no dispute. As for him, he is still young and he is still studying and struggling. He believes that he will have countless opportunities to prove himself in the future, not for Xiaojin. People, just to become a truly outstanding actor-of course, being able to get the award from the Little Golden Man is the icing on the cake.

Therefore, Hugo smiled relievedly. He became the first leader to stand up and applaud in the audience, leading all the audience to standing and applauding, and paid high respect to Tom.

Tom didn't seem to react yet, his movements were slow for three full beats ~www.readwn.com~ and then his expression suddenly realized, as if the fact that "I won the prize" hadn't hit his heart until now.

The wife Rita Wilson (.), who was sitting on Tom's left hand, gave her husband a passionate kiss, and then hugged him hard. Tom stood up slowly, his consciousness finally returned to his brain, looked around, opened his arms and gave Hugo a hug. Hugo said to Tom, "You are really great!"

Tom let go of Hugo, with a bright smile on his face, honest and unassuming, but joyful but not exaggerated. Later, Tom hugged the other members of the "Forrest Gump" crew separately, and then stepped onto the stage.

Hugo was watching Tom, but he felt a person hugging him lightly. When he looked back, he saw Cameron’s bright smile. Cameron stood on tiptoe and shouted in Hugo’s ear. Speaking of, "You are my hero!" A simple sentence made Hugo's heart warm, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.

Lifting his head, Hugo saw Samuel, Quentin and others standing aside. They clapped and gave a thumbs up at Hugo. Quentin yelled, "Man, you are the most good!"

There will always be only one winner, but there will be more than one winner.
