Chapter 210 209. This is the first time such a spectacle has appeared at the Golden Globe Awards
Hilton Hotel, Golden Globe Awards party.
As usual, a long red carpet was laid all the way to the edge of the asphalt road, surrounded by media reporters and super fans from all over the world.
The film submitted by Hua Xia this year was "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" directed by He Ping. Unfortunately, it did not win the favor of the association and was not shortlisted for the Best Foreign Language Film.
This also casts a shadow on the Oscars a month later. If it can't even get a Golden Globe nomination, it will most likely be a failure at the Oscars as well.
The result is worse than last year's "Hero". Facts have proved that adding the two words "Heaven and Earth" is useless, and the co-production between China and the United States is also useless.
But if you say that they are deliberately blocking you because of ideological hostility, that is not the case.
Firstly, China has not yet hosted the Olympic Games, the world’s attention is not focused here, and the West has not yet regarded this giant dragon as an opponent.
Secondly, just look at the other nominated films, including "Salma" from Afghanistan, "Savage Invasion" from Canada, "Mr. Ibrahim and the Flowers of the Quran" from France, "Return" from Russia and "Goodbye Lenin" from Germany.
Russia and Lenin can be included, so what else do we need? However, Eric still saw the logos of Chinese media, Sina and Sohu, but he did not see the official media.
"Look here Eric, smile, you look more handsome when you smile."
Eric raised the corners of his mouth slightly as he responded to the reporters' camera shots.
Spielberg, who was passing by, stopped and looked at him curiously.
"What's wrong Steve? Is my clothing ill-fitting? Or is there something on my face?"
Spielberg shook his head: "No, I'm just curious why you are standing here alone? I remember you were the director and screenwriter of Transformers and Blue Is the Warmest Color."
“He’s the producer of Monster and the co-writer and producer of Get Out.”
"It seems strange that you are alone when there are four crews for you to choose from."
Clint Eastwood also happened to be passing by and heard the conversation between the two.
The older man couldn't help but stop and said jokingly: "Based on my life experience, I think it's because there are too many choices that he has no choice."
Eric spread his hands helplessly: "Did you hear that? The old man made a brilliant summary."
Clint Eastwood is right, it's really hard for him to fit into any group.
Gadot wanted him to be with her, after all, Eric spent the most energy on Transformers.
The Olsen sisters believe that "Blue Is the Warmest Color" has the most nominations, and that they and their sisters are the protagonists tonight, and Eric should accompany them.
Theron believed that Eric had promised to help her win the Best Actress award, so she hoped that he could sit with her to boost her momentum.
Although Nicole has no works, she knows her ex-husband Tom Cruise very well and knows that he will definitely bring his girlfriend Penelope Cruz to the event.
So she hopes Eric can walk the red carpet with her and vows to beat him.
The five women each have their own thoughts, and all want to possess him.
Eric had no choice. No matter who he was with, it would cause some dissatisfaction to others.
Forget it, I might as well do it myself.
While the three were talking, they heard someone behind them shout, "Nicole, you look so beautiful today, let's take a picture."
Eric looked back when he heard the voice, and saw Nicole walking towards him in a gold and white backless dress, high heels and a Hermès bag in her hand.
Following her was a wealthy woman who was half a head shorter than her. She looked to be in her fifties and was wearing a matching black and red dress.
Soon the two bumped into each other, and Nicole pulled the woman closer and said, "Eric, you look really handsome tonight."
"You too, who is this?" Eric asked casually.
"My mom, Jenny."
"Um?"
The woman smiled and said, "Hello Eric, Nicole talked about you. She said you were a very remarkable person."
Unexpectedly, the person opposite him turned out to be one of his future mothers-in-law. Out of the Chinese soul in his bones, Eric hurriedly shook hands with the other party.
"Hello Jenny, although this is the first time we meet, I have to say that you are absolutely beautiful. I have found the reason why Nicole was born with such a beautiful face."
Jenny covered her mouth and laughed: "No wonder she said you are an amazing person, and what you say is so useful."
"Come to my house when you have time. I'm a very good cook."
"Of course, I've eaten ostrich meat, and I think it must have been prepared by a top chef."
"Hahahaha. You have such a sweet mouth."
Nicole secretly winked at Eric, then pulled her mother to find her seat.
Looking at the two people's backs as they left, Eric was still a little confused. He had just completed his first meeting with his mother-in-law in a daze.
"Since when did it become popular to bring moms to the red carpet?"
Hearing his muttering, Spielberg said, "Not only did Kidman bring her family, but it seems like a lot of people tonight have this tacit understanding."
"Jane Fonda with her son Troy Garity and Jamie Lee Curtis with her daughter Anne."
"Patricia Clarkson with her elderly father and Kevin Costner with his 17-year-old daughter."
"It seems like everyone has made an appointment. Many of them are not from the circle."
Eric joked, "It is said that the entertainment industry is always cold and heartless. I think this time at the Golden Globe Awards, everyone walked the red carpet with their families to show the outside world their family affection."
"Why not love?"
"Haha. Because love is fleeting, the divorce and infidelity rates in Hollywood are higher than those in France! Family love is what will always be with us."
I entered the hotel and found my seat. The layout this time was similar to that of the Emmy Awards, with round tables and crew members or familiar people sitting around them.
The organizers obviously took Eric's actual situation into consideration, so the four crews were arranged in a square.
Eric can sit inside the square, allowing him to switch between each crew at will.
But Eric could only curse at this kind of layout: You guys are really meddling in other people's business.
Being so close, wouldn't the women be face to face? I just don't want this kind of situation to happen. I have always tried to avoid it. Damn the association!
Finally, Ashley and Mary took the initiative and pulled him to their sides, and the sisters sandwiched him on the left and right.
Gadot and Theron, who arrived a little late, could only curse inwardly and sit there helplessly, blaming those reporters who wouldn't let them leave.
As the clock strikes 8 p.m., the 61st Golden Globe Awards for Television and Film officially opens.
The camera panned to the entire audience, then zoomed in for a close-up, with Michael Douglas, Jack Nicholson, and Cate Blanchett all flashing by one by one.
Eric waved to the camera, and many women who were watching the live broadcast exclaimed how handsome he was.
The key is that he is not only handsome, but also super rich. He is simply a dream partner.
Since being broadcast live on NBC News a few days ago, Eric's fame in the United States has been rising rapidly. His title as the youngest super-rich man is far greater than his title as a director.
Then the host Ellen DeGeneres came on stage and gave a talk show that drew applause and laughter from the audience, and the evening entered the awards ceremony.
The first award to be presented was for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Movie, and Meryl Streep walked onto the stage in a black dress.
She wasn't the type to tell jokes, so after a few opening remarks she started to go through the motions.
"Nominees for Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series include Peter Sarsgaard for "The Secret Life of a Young Man," Ken Watanabe for "The Last Samurai," Alec Baldwin for "The Cooler," Albert Finney for "Big Fish," Tim Robbins for "Mystic River," and William H. Macy for "Season 3."
Meryl Streep opens the envelope: "The winner is Tim Robbins' Mystic River!"
The camera turns to Tim Robbins. This 45-year-old screenwriter, director and big shot needs no introduction. "The Shawshank Redemption" has proved everything.
He walked up to the stage with a smile, received the trophy, and kissed Meryl Streep, just a simple kiss, not the kind that made Neeko excited.
After thanking the association and the director and producer, he walked off the stage.
Then the four leading actresses of Sex and the City came on stage together to present the award for Best Actor in a Drama Series.
"The Walking Dead" won nothing at this year's Golden Globe Awards, not even getting a single nomination, and many fans are complaining that this is unfair.
Some people think that the film should at least be nominated for Best Screenplay, after all, the script is so well written that it even won an Emmy Award.
But in fact, the Golden Globe Awards do not have a Best Screenwriter award for TV series. Perhaps the association feels that it is not professional enough to judge this award.
Although Daryl won the Best Supporting Actor award, it was for drama, comedy and mini-series, and the awards were not separated.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The difficulty of getting a nomination here has tripled, so Crossbow was also eliminated.
But it doesn't matter, Darabont is currently filming the second season of "The Walking Dead", which is the prison chapter of the original third season, and it is generally recognized that the most exciting chapter is about to begin.
I don't believe that I can't conquer the audience and these judges.
Bill Murray won the Best Actor in a Musical or Comedy Film award for his performance in Lost in Translation.
"The Lord of the Rings 3" won the Best Original Song, winning the first award of the evening.
On the stage, The Savior's Keanu Reeves and The Killer's Bride's Uma Thurman appeared to present the award for Best Original Score in a Motion Picture.
The Transformers crew suddenly became nervous and stared at the envelope in Uma Thurman's hand.
“The soundtrack is an important part of a movie. It makes the movie more enjoyable and allows you to enjoy the sensory stimulation while feeling the auditory stimulation.”
"Uma, can you imagine Pulp Fiction without the soundtrack?"
Uma Thurman swayed her feet and body slightly, performing the classic swing dance from "Pulp Fiction".
After shaking it a few times, he immediately stopped, covered his face with his hands and said shyly: "This is simply the most embarrassing thing in the world!"
Hahahaha The audience burst into laughter.
"So the next award is to pay tribute to those music masters, Howard Shore for The Lord of the Rings 3, Hans Zimmer for The Last Samurai, Gabriel Yarde for Cold Mountain, Danny Elfman for Big Fish, and Steve Jablonski for Transformers."
The camera is focused on everyone. Although they are behind the scenes, they are an important part of Hollywood and movies.
Uma Thurman opened the envelope and read with Keanu Reeves: "The winner is Howard Shore for The Lord of the Rings 3."
There was an instant burst of applause in the hotel, and the Transformers crew was immediately deflated, having lost their only nomination.
Everyone whispered to comfort Steve Jablonski, who smiled with relief. He hadn't held high hopes in the first place, and it wasn't shameful to lose to "The Lord of the Rings."
The award ceremony continued and several TV drama awards were handed out.
What disappointed Eric was that his favorite show "Friends" still failed to win any awards.
Matt "Chandler" LeBlanc was nominated for Best Actor in a Comedy Series, but unfortunately lost to Ricky Gervais for "The Office."
It seems like these award ceremonies were arranged in advance, and they won’t give the awards to everyone.
I don’t know if it’s because of the rumors that this year will be the tenth season of “Friends”, which is also the final season.
The six old friends were tired after filming for ten years, and each of them had received a salary of $1.2 million.
It's not 1.2 million per season, it's 1.2 million per episode. Six people make 7.2 million dollars per episode. Add to that the expenses of other actors, as well as venues, wages, machines, etc., the production cost of one episode is nearly 10 million. This is the main reason for the end of the show.
But don’t think that you will lose money just because the cost is high. NBC has calculated it very clearly. It just makes less money.
Moreover, the conflicts with the six main actors are already very deep. If the filming continues, it will probably cause more trouble. It is also a good choice to terminate it in time so that everyone can save some dignity.
Maybe they knew that "Friends" was coming to an end, so they planned to save all the awards for the next session, just like "The Lord of the Rings".
Now it was time to present the Best Actor in a Drama Movie award. Anthony Mackian, the future Marvel Falcon, was nominated, and the crew of Get Out became nervous.
James Wan and Leigh Whannell cheered him on, and Eric also stared at the stage. This was the only award for a male role among the four MGM films nominated, and he wanted it very much.
But the competition is fierce, with Sean Penn, Ben Kingsley, Elijah Wood, Jude Law, and Tom Cruise, no one is easy to mess with!
"The winner of the Best Actor in a Drama Series Award is Elijah Wood for "The Lord of the Rings: The Third Fellowship of the Ring"!"
After Jennifer Lopez announced the results, Elijah Wood's eyes widened in surprise with an expression of disbelief.
The bearded man, Hugo Mortensen and others quickly hugged him and began to celebrate and rubbed him hard.
This result is a bit unexpected because Sean Penn has the highest chance of winning the award, but this is "The Lord of the Rings" after all.
Anthony Mackian first sighed, then laughed and applauded. It turned out that he was still too young and had too little experience in Hollywood.
Eric leaned over and patted his shoulder to comfort him. Anthony Mackian smiled and said, "It's okay, Mr. Cooper. If I don't win the award, your and Warner's chances of winning the best screenplay award will increase."
Eric thought to himself that the young man was very sensible and he would keep the falcon for him.
Amidst the applause, the Golden Globe Awards began with a song and dance performance, and the guest guest was Kelly Clarkson, the champion of the first season of "American Idol".
After seeing and hearing her voice live, Eric remembered that the famous song "Stronger" was hers.
I'm sorry, it's mine.
After watching the show, a beautiful figure walked from the backstage to the microphone. It was the golden Nicole.
She held the envelope in her hand and glanced over vaguely.
"The Best Screenwriter Award will be announced next. Each of them is an excellent writer who depicts vivid and beautiful stories on page after page."
"Only with these excellent stories can excellent films be born."
"The nominees for Best Screenplay are Eric Cooper and Leigh Whannell for Get Out, Sofia Coppola for Lost in Translation, Patty Jenkins for Monster, and Brian Helgeland for Mystic River."
With each shot that flashed by, the audience erupted in applause, until Nicole read out the last nomination: "Eric Cooper, Blue Is the Warmest Color!"
The applause suddenly intensified.
This is the first time that two films have been nominated for Best Screenplay at the Golden Globe Awards.
Not to mention the Golden Globe Awards, it was also the first time for the Oscars, the three major European awards, Saint-Sebastian, Tokyo, and the Golden Horse Awards, all the major influential film festivals in the world.
Especially since Eric is really too young. Technically speaking, his birthday has not yet arrived, so he is not yet 24 years old.
He achieved this at the age of 24, becoming the youngest screenwriter nominated for a Golden Globe and the youngest double nominee for Best Screenplay. He has broken many records.
It will be very difficult for future generations to challenge this, and it may only be possible by sending humans to Pluto.
On the stage, Nicole opened the envelope and announced with a smile on her face: "The winner of the Best Screenplay is..."
