Chapter 1209 The East is Not Bright
The 61st Golden Globe Awards Ceremony came to an end, and Anson returned empty-handed——
As expected.
In the holiday season that just passed, "The Butterfly Effect" and "Elephant" each performed miracles at the box office. They rose to the top with a sweeping attitude and swept the box office with a strong momentum. Anson entered the awards season, but did not last long. , encountered a wake-up call and came to an abrupt end.
The vase may still need to stay in the world of popcorn for a while.
It is conceivable that the news media may be impatient to complain and make fun of them again. They use a serious attitude to conceal their true intention of attacking Anson. Anyway, they have previously criticized Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Cruise. Si, Brad Pitt and others have never shown mercy, so why should they look at Anson with admiration?
However, an accident occurred——
"Anson Wood lit up the red carpet of the Hilton Hotel and once again stunned the audience."
"At the party outside the awards ceremony, Anson Wood, Cate Blanchett, Scarlett Johansson, Bill Murray, etc. were partying in front of the Hilton Hotel."
"Saturday Night Fever is back! Anson Wood turns the streets into a party stage."
"A feast - not the awards ceremony, but the aftermath."
"With the stars shining brightly, Anson Wood once again shows the charm of street performance. This time, he is not alone."
"Party, this is the real party!"
"Moonlight Ball! Anson Wood performs a romantic moment on Golden Globes night!"
Praise, praise, praise——
A carnival!
Not only the entrance to the Hilton Hotel, but also the news media collectively entered carnival mode. The bustling voices were completely attracted by the neighborhood dance after the awards ceremony. In addition to being amazed, the praises continued, and the collective fell into a frenzy.
In fact, two years ago, the "New York Times" conducted an exclusive interview with Anson, revealing the key word "authenticity" and showing Anson's unique charm.
However, no one believed it and no one bought it.
People still believe that it is just a set of packaging, creating another image under a real name. In the final analysis, it is still a commodity.
Time is the only criterion for verification.
Until now.
After experiencing the band's European street tour on August 31, experiencing different talents displayed at different movie premieres, and experiencing the street dance in front of the Hilton Hotel tonight, the edges of Anson's image have finally become clear.
People finally realized that Anson was just Anson, a different kind of fireworks.
In the end, the controversies, contradictions, and doubts surrounding Anson have not been able to truly see the truth about Anson. They have always looked at, speculated, and judged this brand-new character with Hollywood's usual eyes, trying to find a suitable Anson from past templates. of reference objects, and then follows a trajectory that charts Anson's place in Hollywood.
However, they finally realized they were wrong.
Not only is it wrong, it's terribly wrong.
People should not rely on past experience to examine and judge this character. The emergence of Anson Wood is bringing a new breath to Hollywood. No one can predict Anson’s future and ultimate height——
But there’s no doubt that people can keep their hopes up as long as they want.
Then, an incredible scene appeared.
The Golden Globe Awards Ceremony is over, but all the bustling focus is on Anson, even overshadowing "Lord of the Rings 3" and "Lost in Translation", once again making people feel Anson's current momentum.
Things took such a turn, which was completely unexpected.
This also proves once again that Anson is indeed——
So red!
Before the Golden Globes, all of Hollywood was swooning over Johnny Depp. The actor, who has been working in Hollywood for more than fifteen years, finally made it to the front line with the emergence of "Pirates of the Caribbean" and became a top star overnight. With accumulated experience, he completed the Hollywood-style triple jump in one fell swoop.
How crazy is this craze?
That year, "Alien" turned out to be a box office hit, earning Sigourney-Weaver an Oscar nomination for Best Actress.
Likewise, "Future" became a phenomenon, earning Tom Hanks the first Oscar nomination for Best Actor in his career.
Also, "The Ghost Story" topped the 1990 annual box office championship, and Whoopi Goldberg not only received a nomination but also won his only Oscar statuette.
And so on and so forth.
A movie becomes an incredible success at the box office and becomes an integral part of the cultural trend, breaking the shackles of the academy and earning its actors unprecedented acting nominations.
However, "The Man in Disguise" did not win an Oscar nomination for Jim Carrey, "The Terminator" did not win an Oscar nomination for Arnold Schwarzenegger, and "Titanic" did not win an Oscar nomination for Leonardo DiCaprio. Earning a nomination, "Spider-Man" also failed to win one for Anson.
From here we can see how difficult it is to break the barriers of academic prejudice.
Right now, the whole of Hollywood is thinking that Johnny Depp should win a nomination for "Pirates of the Caribbean"——
This is Johnny Depp's current momentum, which can be called a craze.
Everyone in Hollywood is talking about Johnny Depp, and Johnny deserves to be the biggest focus at this year's Golden Globe Awards.
Now, the awards ceremony is over, but the media is exclusively using Anson as the headline.
This is Anson's momentum. Even if he faces Johnny Depp head-on, he can still gain the upper hand. No wonder Hollywood is exclaiming in admiration.
However, now is the awards season. In the end, any topic that goes around will eventually come back to the Oscars, and no one is exempt.
Two days after the Golden Globe Awards, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences announced the nominees for the 76th Oscars, occupying all entertainment headlines——
Amid the uproar, the awards season has truly entered its second phase.
"Lord of the Rings 3" leads the pack with 13 nominations, including nominations for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay and other important awards.
Although there were no nominations in the acting department, "Lord of the Rings 3" still became the third most nominated film in Oscar history, second only to "Ben-Hur" with 15 nominations and "Titanic" with 14 nominations.
There is no doubt that this year's awards season is waiting to witness the glory of "Lord of the Rings 3".
It was followed closely by "The Big Brother". After hitting a wall at the box office, the film relied on its excellent reputation to successfully fight its way through the awards season and eventually received ten nominations including Best Picture and Best Director. ——
Another Oscar winner.
However...Russell Crowe couldn't laugh.
Because, like "The Lord of the Rings: The Third," "The Great and Powerful" also did not receive any acting nominations, Russell's dream of replicating the glory of "Gladiator" was abruptly blocked.
Perhaps, the only thing Russell can console himself with is——
He wasn't nominated, but neither was Anson.
There is no "Butterfly Effect" and no "Elephant". The two works that detonated the box office during the holiday season and became a hot topic are both absent.
Although Anson's rise has been unstoppable, in the eyes of the academy, a vase is just a vase, not worthy of commendation, or even bothering to take a second look.
The thing is that simple.
