Whoever wins the award will make history in Zào, and 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 Best Actor award in a row; If Morgan Freeman wins, then he will be the second black actor in film history; If Paul Newman wins, then he will be Henry Fonda. fonda) after the second oldest actor; If Hugo Lancaster wins, then he will be the first actor under the age of 30 in film history.

This qiē makes the direction of Best Actor the biggest attraction tonight.

Holly Hunter is one of the representatives of the "Little Golden Man Curse", after winning the Oscar last year with "Piano Don't Love", her career fell into a trough, and no new work came out for a whole year, until not long ago she confirmed her latest work: she will join Jodie Foster's second work "Home" with Robert Downey Jr. for。 the。 holidays）”。

From this choice, it can be seen that Hawley is at a loss, choosing commercial films can not find the right script, the right price, and choosing art films is difficult to make a breakthrough beyond "Piano Don't Love", after hesitating, she chose the cast: believe in Jodie Foster and Robert Downey Jr.

It's fair to say that Hawley has been disappearing from public for almost a whole year, and if it weren't for the Oscars again, people would have almost forgotten about the actress who won the award at last year's awards ceremony. However, after Holly stepped on stage tonight, she easily became the focus of everyone's attention, because the envelope in her hand at this time was worth a thousand gold!

"In the past year, we have enjoyed the wonderful performances of many male actors, there are senior and intelligent gentlemen, there are energetic young men......" Hawley's voice trembled 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, and the hot lights on the stage at this time made her very uncomfortable.

But Hawley's nervousness didn't help, because the eyes of the entire audience were locked on her, including the countless viewers on the TV, as if their eyes could be projected directly onto Hawley's body through the broadcast camera, so that Hawley's skin could feel the continuous pressure of the hot factor.

Insiders are waiting for the announcement of the best actor and then deducing the direction of the final award; Laymen are looking forward to who among the five powerhouses will stand out and make history.

The tension made the air tense. Just as the big screen began to show the list of candidates, Hawley realized that he had forgotten this link, "I almost opened the envelope early, I was really excited." This action caused a chuckle from the audience, "The nominees for the 67th Academy Award for Best Actor are...... Morgan Freeman, 'The Shawshank Redemption'......"

Sitting in the audience, Hugo's throat couldn't help but feel a little dry, and the silence around him was set off by Holly's dry voice, and he could clearly hear the slow but heavy beating of his heart, "Bang! Bang! Bang! The ground hit his chest, causing his blood vessels to start beating, and the muscles that tugged at his whole body tensed.

In fact, Hugo didn't feel nervous.

At least compared to last year, Hugo's mind was clear, there was no particularly mixed and nervous emotion, he knew where he was, he knew where the award ceremony was now, and he knew what the announcement of the award would represent. Hugo even had the leisure to watch the expressions of the other nominees on the big screen.

Morgan sat expressionlessly, his eyes full of wisdom hidden in their sockets, unpredictable; There is a shallow smile on the corner of Paul's mouth, which makes people clearly feel his calmness and comfort, which is incomparable to others; Nigel's nervousness was far greater than expected, and although he tried to keep smiling, the muscles below his chin were completely tense, and he could even see the green tendons on his neck slowly appearing.

Hugo watched with interest the highlights of the nominees, as well as the expressions of the nominees on the big screen with the camera lens of Guò, and analyzed their expressions with relish. So, Hugo is really not nervous.

But the head and body seemed to be separated, the adrenaline rush made Hugo's body stiff, and the sobriety of the head kept his consciousness calm. So Hugo had a wonderful feeling, as if he had detached himself from his body, watching his body sit stiffly in a chair, while he became a spectator with great interest.

So, is this nervous or not?

Hugo's mind suddenly burst into laughter, perhaps, he was still nervous, at the moment when he learned that he might create history, at the moment when he learned that the history he knew might change, that inexplicable nervousness still firmly controlled his body.

But at least he's a little bit better off last year, isn't he? Hugo thought optimistically and smiled self-deprecatingly.

The camera then finds Tom Hanks, with the familiar smile on his face, just as gentle and amiable as his image on the big screen. It's just that Hugo, who was sitting next door, could still feel Tom's body fully supported, maintained in a stiff and weird position, and the chair could feel the huge pressure transmitted by Tom, and then transmitted to Hugo.

In the face of creating history, even Tom is no exception. Hugo's mind came to mind and thought of Morgan and Paul. Perhaps only Paul can be completely detached, not only because he won the little gold man after the honorable mention and achieved consummation; What's more, because he has experienced too many cycles of nominations and defeats before, that indifference is precipitated by frustration again and again, and it is not that he can control it if he wants to.

Between thoughts, Hugo appeared on the big screen.

Hugo saw his slightly unnatural expression and completely stiff shoulder lines, and he couldn't help but laugh himself, and the curvature of his mouth rose unexpectedly, which made his whole person look much more relaxed. The audience whistled one after another, and the scene was so lively.

Before Hugo could react, the nominee's short film was played, and the camera returned to Hawley, who shrugged her shoulders slightly, "Then let's find out together." Hawley lowered his head and opened the envelope in his hand, took out the card inside and looked at it, his eyes slightly open, as if he was a little surprised.

Whoever the answer is, however, should be surprised, because the winner came out on top after beating the other four, or three strong contenders. The problem of choosing one out of four is more difficult than choosing one out of five in any previous year, and everyone has their own answer in their minds, but they are not sure if what others think makes sense of themselves.

"The winner of the 67th Academy Award for Best Actor is ......," Hawley said, taking a deep breath and glancing down at the card again, as if to make sure he wasn't dazzled.

Suddenly, Hugo came back to his senses, he finally regained control of his body, and involuntarily let out a long breath, and his heart, which was still beating slowly and heavily, suddenly began to accelerate, which made him feel that his palm was a little wet, and his brain, which had always been sober and calm, also got rid of all distractions, and all his attention was focused on the stage.

"Tom Hanks, 'Forrest Gump.'"

Hawley announced the answer, and the entire Holy Great Hall fell into a deathly silence, but it was only a blank space of less than half a second, and then thunderous applause rang out.

History is born! Tom Hanks became the second actor in Oscar history to win the best actor in a row, and he relied on a solid, simple, delicate but profound performance to accomplish this feat! From "The Philadelphia Story" to "Forrest Gump", this actor who does not have any advantage in appearance relies on his own efforts and has become the first actor in North America today.

Maybe this time Hugo is really not so nervous, when he heard the tone of "Tom", he had already reacted: the historical trajectory still failed to create a zào miracle after all, Tom still won the actor along the way, and he regretted passing by his first actor Xiaojinren.

Hugo sighed softly, it would have been a lie to say that he was not disappointed, Hugo could feel the sense of loss in his heart rising high and then falling heavily, and there was a subtle sense of emptiness in his chest. But the smile on the corner of his mouth was quickly outlined, sincerely. Because Hugo knew that Tom's victory was well deserved, there was no dispute, as for him, he was still young, he was still studying and struggling, and he believed that he would have countless opportunities to prove himself in the future, not for the sake of the statuette, but just to become a truly good actor - of course, to be able to get the award of the puppeteer is the icing on the cake.

So, Hugo smiled with relief, and he became the first to stand and applaud in the audience, leading the audience to give Tom a standing ovation.

Tom didn't seem to react yet, his movements slowed down a full three beats, and then it dawned on his expression that the fact that "I won the prize" only now hit his heart.

Rita Wilson, wife sitting on Tom's left hand side. Wilson gave her husband a passionate kiss and then hugged him hard. Tom slowly stood up, consciousness finally returned to his brain, looked around, opened his arms and gave Hugo a hug. Hugo said to Tom, "You're amazing! ”

Tom let go of Hugo, and a big smile appeared on his face, honest and unassuming, but not exaggerated. Later, Tom hugged the rest of the "Forrest Gump" crew separately before walking onto the stage.

Hugo was looking at Tom, but he felt a man gently hugging him, and when he looked back, he saw Cameron's bright smile, Cameron stood on tiptoe and whispered in Hugo's ear, "You are my hero!" A simple sentence made Hugo's heart warm suddenly, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.

Raising his head, Hugo saw Samuel, Quentin and others standing aside, they applauded and took the time to give Hugo a thumbs up, Quentin even shouted, "Man, you are the best!" ”

There will always be only one winner, but there will never be just one winner.
