Unlike award ceremonies such as the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards, the awards ceremonies of the three major film festivals are relatively simple, there is no grand party, no exciting award process, and more like a summary meeting - that is, the closing ceremony, the major awards are awarded, the works participating in the film festival are commended, and that's it.

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

Similarly, the awards at the festival are relatively simple, taking Cannes as an example, in addition to the highest award, the Palme d'Or, the Grand Jury Prize is equivalent to the second place, which can be regarded as the third place Jury Prize, and then the Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. There are only seven awards in total.

In addition, there is an award called the Fipresci Award (FIPRESCI. Prizes), also known as the International Film Critics Award or FIPRESCI International Film Critics Award, is a side award that is not affiliated with any film festival unit, but is awarded by the International Association of Film Critics by its own jury before the awards ceremony of the film festival. The award is presented to major film festivals around the world, including the three major European film festivals.

Therefore, in fact, the awards ceremony of the film festival is more concise, without the noise and bustle of the Oscars and Golden Globes, but more pure.

After the award ceremony began, there was no cumbersome opening, and the president of the jury, Clint Eastwood, took the stage to make a brief speech, and then entered the award process.

The first award was the Best Screenplay Award, and this year's Cannes Film Festival can be said to have ushered in a big explosion, with a large number of excellent works, and the overall quality is not inferior to last year's "Farewell My Concubine" and "Piano Farewell" tied for the Palme d'Or.

Last year brought together Hou. Filial piety. Xian, Chen. Triumphant. Song, Ken Yi Rocky (Ken. Loach), Mike Lee. Leigh), Wim Wenders (WIM. Wenders), Takeshi Kitano, Steven Soderbergh (Steven. SH), Andrea and Tesine (AEE) and other film masters, the fierce competition Cheng Dù amazed the media, and in the end, not only the Palme d'Or appeared, but also the Jury Prize, which can be described as a rare grand occasion.

While this year's overall momentum seems to be less than last year's, as the number of famous directors is slightly lower, the quality of the entries is no less impressive, with five or six of them worthy of winning the Palme d'Or – and in the eyes of the media, this has led to a boom in speculation about the awards ahead of the ceremony.

In the first award for Best Screenplay, there was an upset, and the "vulgar", which was originally considered the most likely to win the award, did not win, but the French film "is tired to death" (crosse). fatigue)" upset wins.

After the release of "Exhausting to the Death" in Cannes, it was generally considered that "the first half of the film was well conceived, but the stamina was lacking", and the overall strength was weak, and it was considered that the quality was not as good as that of director Michelle Brown, who had achieved brilliant achievements in the actor position. blanc) made his debut ten years ago.

As a result, "I was so tired" took the first award tonight as a dark horse, which suddenly made the entire award ceremony a little more stunned.

The Best Actress Award that followed was another upset, and the previously known as the biggest favorite Yelena Jacob (Irene. Jacob) was defeated, and the name that came out of the mouth of the presenter was Virna. lisi), which really broke everyone's glasses.

At this moment, people clearly feel that this is the Cannes Film Festival! Cannes where one can never make an accurate prediction about the prize!

In the competition for Best Actress, Yelena Jacob, who is considered to have given an absolutely wonderful performance, is the heroine of the "Red of the Blue, White and Red Trilogy", and her performance has even received "dazzling" praise; In addition to her, Isabel Adjani, the heroine of "Queen Margot", is also considered a strong contender, and she appeared on the big screen again after many years in the film industry, and still gave a stunning performance.

But it turned out to be neither Yelena nor Isabel, but a supporting actress from "Queen Margot", Vilna who played Margot's queen Catherine!

Although among the three major film festivals, there is no distinction between the protagonist and the supporting role, and only the best actor and the best actress are selected, which also leads to more fierce competition, and many supporting roles also rely on wonderful performances to take away the actor or actress of the three major film festivals; But this time, Vilna defeated the two heroines who gave wonderful performances, and finally after the Cannes seal, it was really shocking.

After the opening two awards were unpopular, people didn't dare to hold out any more hopes for the next Best Actor award, who knows what moths the jury will come up with.

Ahead of the ceremony, the most popular winner for Best Actor was Jean-Louis, the leading actor of the "Blue-White-Red Trilogy". trintignant), his performance in this movie deserves the word "amazing", which has made many people applaud.

And the actor of the movie "Scorching Sun" Oleg Michikov is hailed as the biggest discovery of Cannes this year, this tough guy from Russia is not tough and tough in his impression, but has a French melancholy and gorgeous, and a pair of gentle eyes are full of drama. His brilliant performance in "The Scorching Sun" was an instant hit, making him famous in Europe.

In addition to these two actors, the "alive" actor Ge. Although the "vulgar" Hugo is slightly inferior, the gap is not obvious.

Therefore, the already confusing competition for the awards, now with the foreshadowing of the best screenplay and the best actress, becomes more and more impossible to speculate.

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

There were not many people from the "vulgar" crew, that is, Hugo, Uma, Quentin and Weinstein brothers, the five of them sat in a row, Hugo sat in the closest aisle, he looked at Quentin, sketched the corners of his mouth and smiled, "No! MVP's crisp answer made Quentin a little embarrassed, and he pouted depressedly.

Hugo is really not nervous at this time, there are many reasons, the most important is that after experiencing the tension of the Oscars, Hugo has seen some luck for the award, which is also a sign of maturity. In addition, compared to himself, Hugo still hopes that "vulgarity" can follow the development of historical trajectory and win the Palme d'Or, which is the recognition that this work should receive in the long history, so he is very open to his personal awards.

In addition, at international film festivals, it is more difficult to win awards, because all the shortlisted competition units are eligible to compete for all the awards. To put it simply, all the 25 works shortlisted for the main competition unit are eligible to compete for Best Actor, which makes every award competition at the film festival a scuffle.

If Hugo is not mistaken, this year's "alive" competition, then the final winner of Best Actor should be Ge. is excellent, because he became the first Chinese Cannes actor in history. Hugo was willing to surrender. Superior one vote.

Therefore, when Paul Newman walked on stage as a guest of honor, Hugo was very relaxed and had time to joke with Quentin, which was absolutely not seen at the Oscars two months ago - at that time, even if Hugo wanted to joke, his expression was completely stiff.

Paul stood in front of the microphone, without too much politeness, he just said a few simple words, and was ready to present the award, "In 1994, at the 47th Cannes Film Festival, the winner of the Best Actor was ......" and then Paul opened the envelope. If it is an occasion like the Golden Globe Awards, the guests may want to create suspense, but at the film festival, they don't need it at all, including glancing at the cardboard in the envelope and talking directly.

"Ge. Excellent, from 'alive'. As soon as Paul's voice came out of the microphone, the audience immediately burst into applause, and Hugo was no exception, and he and Quentin both looked at each other and smiled, and then applauded at the same time. Alive" The people around the crew all stepped forward to Ge. Yu congratulated.

Honestly, Ge. The award is well deserved, although it can be regarded as an underdog in the eyes of the media, but at least it is much better than the previous two awards.

Paul, however, ignored the applause of all the people, and raised his voice again, and said in a louder voice, "Also, Hugo and Lancaster, from 'vulgarity.'" After speaking, Paul did not wait for the audience to react, and took the lead in applauding, and the "pop" applause came out of the microphone, reawakening the slightly sluggish nerves of the audience.

All the audience at the scene were stunned, but they quickly reacted, and the collective looked in the direction of the "vulgar" crew and congratulated them with applause. The wave of applause at the scene actually went to a higher level, and some people even began to whistle, which is also the birth of double egg yolks after the Golden Palm produced double egg yolks last year!

Hugo and Quentin were still standing up and clapping while looking at Ge. Excellent, but before he could fully stand up, he heard Paul's voice, and everyone's eyes were actually focused, which made Hugo stunned for a moment, and looked at Quentin suspiciously, but Quentin had already reacted immediately, and the smile on his face immediately bloomed, and then gave Hugo a hug, "Congratulations!" Congratulations!" As he spoke, he slapped Hugo on the back fiercely.

The Weinstein brothers next to him also leaned towards Hugo with a smile, and the fan-like palm beckoned to Hugo's shoulder, making Hugo grin in pain; Even Uma, who was standing at the far end, applauded with a graceful smile on her face, but her eyes hidden in the darkness shimmered with a mixed light, and perhaps even she herself could not read the true meaning of this love.

At this time, Hugo used the pain in his body to understand this fact: he won the Cannes Best Actor! (To be continued.)
