Superstar

Standing on the side stage, Hugo is ready.

Different from the brightly lit in the waiting room, in order to avoid affecting the stage lighting, the side stage is dark, and can only rely on the halo projected from the front stage and the rear waiting room to disperse the darkness. A large square table is placed in a spacious space. , There are a group of little golden people who have not yet recorded the name of the owner, a staff of the dispatching site, a staff contacting the stage and the waiting room, a makeup artist to deal with the situation on the spot, and two staff standing next to it Standing near the door of the waiting room, always deal with emergencies. Suddenly the entire side stage became crowded, as if turning around was very difficult.

At this time David Letterman came over and he needed to change his clothes backstage to prepare for the next round of appearance. Then he ran into Hugo head-on, but it was dark all around, with only dim light. The two people's eyes touched slightly, and even if they greeted him with a hurried tap of their chin, he walked away quickly.

The two people have never met before, and now it seems that the anxiety in the future will not be much.

Hugo has encountered a lot of "David" recently, David Cronenberg, David Geffen, David Fincher, David Letterman... Hugo said he was helpless, so many David, he It is really excusable not to remember their names!

The air on the side stage is reflecting the temperature of the stage lighting, making the air a bit sultry. The makeup artist standing aside stepped up with a flashlight. After confirming that Hugo’s makeup was correct, the dispatcher nodded to Hugo. , And then you can hear the behind-the-scenes dubbing vigorously saying, "Ladies and gentlemen, Hugo Lancaster!"

Hugo picked up a little golden figure from the table next to him, stepped forward and walked onto the stage. There was applause at the scene, especially when Hugo appeared, the whistle of the scene began to rise, which aroused all the audience. We laughed, but the applause continued noisily, waiting for Hugo to wait in front of the microphone for about five seconds before the applause gradually dissipated.

Obviously, even on the Oscar stage, Hugo already has the qualifications for people to respect and admire.

"Huh, it seems that the makeup artist said that I was in good shape tonight. This is the truth." Hugo raised the envelope in his hand and pointed to the position where he whistle just now, as if saying, "I look really handsome." Sitting there was Quentin Tarantino and Samuel Jackson.

Just one sentence made the scene laugh again, Quentin's ruffian blew his whistle again regardless of recklessness. This time, surrounded by no applause, the sharp whistle seemed so out of place, but the audience laughed. The best affirmation for Quentin.

"I once had the honour to talk to Ms. Catherine Hepburn several times. She left a deep impression on me. One of the words was about an actress. I'm not sure if it is suitable for today, but I decided to say it. Share with everyone." Hugo stood in front of the microphone and said calmly.

Hugo has always been admired for his eloquence, wit and humor, and his writing "Before Sunrise" reflects his profound literary background. Therefore, today Hugo, as the award-giving guest, did not choose to follow the usual practice, which is also expected. The audience couldn't help but be attracted by Hugo, and began to look forward to the following words. But when Hugo spoke, the scene froze.

"She said that this **** land has never recognized the contributions of actresses." Hugo's words made the scene suddenly fall into an ice cave. Catherine Hepburn is a well-known feminist, and she made progress for the women's movement in Hollywood. Made a lot of contributions, these words are indeed what Catherine said, she has said in public more than once. But no one expected that Hugo would choose to pop out this sentence today.

At this moment, it is estimated that many "high-level" people have begun to swear vulgar words. They will never forget the farce that took place here a few weeks ago. Although the Grammys are too peaceful, how could the real old fritters be deceived. But they don't care about Grammy's life or death, they just hope that there will be no more troubles at the Oscar tonight, please!

"To be honest, I don't want to agree with this sentence, because you know, my contribution is at least recognized." As soon as Hugo's words came out, someone at the scene couldn't hold back them, and they laughed directly with a flutter. There are more than one or two. What he said was another way of emphasizing: Hey, I am a man. It really makes people laugh. "But I still proved my innocence with actual actions, so I starred in'Pulp Fiction'."

The scene was stunned, and then burst into laughter, the real sense of the audience burst into laughter, and many actresses stood up, agitating their hands vigorously, this scene is really beyond people's expectations: an award-giving guest won Such a lofty treatment.

Hugo's remarks were actually satirizing the conservativeness of the American Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. Among the ten actresses who were shortlisted for best actress and best supporting actress, only Uma Thurman belongs to the "Pulp Fiction". Shortlisted for the best film competition. In other words, of the five works nominated for Best Picture, four of them are masculinity and masculinity—strictly speaking, all five are.

Among them, "Shawshank's Redemption" is the pinnacle. There is no female character in the list of regular actors. The female "characters" that appear most frequently in movies are those of the golden age of Hollywood. Sense actress poster.

After the Oscar nomination list came out, the "Los Angeles Times" has seriously discussed it, thinking it is a regression of Hollywood. Although the society has been emphasizing the rise of women and equality between men and women, this is still the case in Hollywood. It is a patriarchal society, which is very unfair to actresses.

In this regard, the American actors' union and women's rights groups have also stood up to express their views. Especially after last year's "Piano Love" made a huge breakthrough, this year's Oscar regression has become more and more unacceptable.

Therefore, before the Oscars ceremony, there were two public gatherings for women's rights groups to express their views. Although they were small, not out of line, and had limited influence, they should not be ignored for the powerful and powerful in Hollywood. A problem.

Unexpectedly, Hugo actually spoke out directly on the stage of the awards ceremony, and in such a direct but interesting way. Hugo's self-ridicule and self-ridicule have weakened the sharpness of this question and expressed his opinions in a more relaxed way. This is a very smart approach. Even those film company executives who firmly believe in patriarchal supremacy cannot be angry with Hugo.

Just look at the reaction of the scene. The audience who were still facing the enemy just now clapped and laughed. The actresses stood up and applauded, and even the backstage laughed into a ball.

Hugo finally waited for the laughter to calm down a bit, and then went on to say, "A great movie needs men and women, just like the protagonist and the supporting role are needed. It lacks any part, it's all one. Regret. Of course, I must state that I personally admire the movie "Twelve Angry Men"."

After Hugo said these last words, he opened his mouth and was about to continue speaking, when the scene burst into laughter again. "Twelve Angry Men" is a movie without any female characters. All the characters are men. There are such works in film history, but they are absolutely rare. Of course, "Twelve Angry Men" is definitely a classic in film history, so Hugo's words really have a magical effect.

Many people have discovered that, compared to David Letterman, who performed poorly in the opening game, Hugo, the guest awarding guest, only used a few words before and after to save the atmosphere of the audience. This is really very impressive. Things worth thinking about.

"So, I stand here today to commend these supporting actresses who have made great contributions to the film. Let us remember the outstanding contributions of these roles to the film." Hugo said in summary, as the awarding guest, he There is limited time for cross-field words. After all, he is not the protagonist. "Let’s take a look at the list of nominations."

As Hugo's voice fell, short films of the nominees appeared on the big screen, and Hugo introduced them one by one.

This year's five candidates for the best supporting actress competition, lack of a finalist, are relatively inferior, whether it is the work of the role or the performance of the actor, which is also one of the characteristics of this year. That's why Hugo made the remarks just now.

"Bullets over Broadway" contributed two contenders, Diana West (.) and Jennifer Tilly (.) were shortlisted together; Rosemary from "Tom and Vive (. and. -Harris (.) can be described as an upset finalist, this is her only finalist in major awards ceremonies; "Crazy King George" selected Helen Mirren, although he is also unpopular, but Helen with solid acting skills The strength is superb, but it is also reasonable.

The last is Uma Thurman of "Pulp Fiction". The reason why Uma was shortlisted ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is more due to the strong popularity and overall strength of "Pulp Fiction" than the acting level. Of course, her personal performance is also a breakthrough.

The average strength of these five contenders is not strong. At the Golden Globe Awards, only Uma and Diana occupied the five nominated seats, and the other three candidates were replaced at the Oscars. Objectively speaking, this is indeed an award that "it is not uncommon for anyone to win". It is not because the strong is like a cloud, but because the strength is generally too weak. It is also very difficult to make the taller among the shorter ones.

After the short film ended, Hugo said again, "Thank you actresses for their wonderful performances and Woody Allen for their contributions."

Hugo's seemingly unremarkable sentence once again drew laughter. Woody's mastery of female characters has always been commendable, and this time is no exception. His "Bullets over Broadway" brought two nominations in one go.

But Hugo didn't stop, lowered his head and opened the envelope, and took a look. In an instant, the audience froze. Who is the winner? Will gossip appear? Are there any dog-blood scenes?

"The winner of the 67th Oscar for Best Supporting Actress is..." Hugo quickly revealed the answer without any pause, "Diana West, the'bullet over Broadway'."
