Chapter 760 Award Presenters
The 60th Golden Globe Awards Ceremony has begun——
Everything is as expected.
The reason why the Golden Globe Awards is known as the benchmark of the awards season is because the Hollywood Foreign Press Association has an accurate and detailed grasp of the industry trends, and they can always feel the changes in Hollywood at the first time.
This year is no exception.
Last year, at the Emmy Awards, "The West Wing" swept to the top of the list. Not only did it win the best drama series for three consecutive years, but all nine main actors won acting nominations, both making history.
However, another well-received and acclaimed work "The Shield" only broke through and won the Best Actor in a Drama Series trophy, causing the Emmy Awards to fall into a vortex of controversy.
At the same time, "Friends" finally won the comedy series trophy after its fourth nomination, but it did not have the best director trophy and the best screenwriter trophy, and was once again replaced by "Everybody Loves Raymond" "Germany" was completely crushed.
It’s really hard to say which drama won with such an award. In addition, "Family", which has been rated by professionals as the best comedy after "Seinfeld", was once again ignored. It triggered a heated discussion about which work is the best comedy of the current era.
The debate continued.
then.
Golden Globe Awards revised one by one.
Kim-Cattrall, who played Samantha in "Sex and the City", won the Best Supporting Actress Award for the first time with this iconic role. This is undoubtedly a major event. breakthrough.
Subsequently, Jennifer Aniston’s career ushered in a turning point. After winning the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series last year, she also won the Golden Globe Award for the first time in the same category. Finally, she won the Emmy Award for Best Actress in a Comedy Series. Clear the clouds and see the sun.
Here, the awards ceremony has just begun, and the Hollywood Hilton Hotel is already bustling with excitement, whistles, cheers, and thunderous applause for the two actors who have finally been recognized by the industry.
It is now foreseeable that after the awards ceremony, the controversy over the Emmy Awards will be brought up again, and the Golden Globe Awards will easily stand above the traffic and break through the waves.
As for whether the controversy is positive or negative, it is temporarily unknown.
In the other room, the award ceremony staff gently tapped Anson on the shoulder, reminding Anson that he needed to go backstage temporarily to prepare for the awards——
Tonight, Anson is not only a candidate for nomination, He is also the award guest.
Obviously, the Golden Globe Awards are ready to make full use of Anson's popularity to create attractions.
Of course, Anson didn't mind.
Anson will be responsible for presenting the Best Score Award.
Arrived backstage early, amidst the hustle and bustle, Anson once again experienced the taste of traffic:
Everyone was greeting him.
Literally, everyone. No matter it is the guests attending the award ceremony or the staff who produce the award ceremony, there are no exceptions.
It seems that the episode before the award ceremony once again made people sit up and take notice.
On the one hand, the support from Maggie, Steven and others proves Anson’s connections in the industry.
On the other hand, Anson’s response and handling showed enough confidence——
Is Anson really the illegitimate son of a senior executive or the rich second generation of an old man? The youngest son of a certain noble?
Otherwise, where does the confidence come from?
A helpless grassroots person would have been shocked to see such a scene.
Quietly, the direction changed, which Anson did not expect.
The only good thing is that Anson shouldered the task of presenting the award and was reminded by the on-site staff to avoid being surrounded. After a busy period, Anson finally arrived at the side stage to prepare for his next appearance.
It wasn’t until he actually served as the award presenter that Anson realized that award presenters also need to rehearse, including lines, processes, paths, etc. Even if it is just a few simple sentences, the guests also need to rehearse. Confirm the process with the program team one by one, including all words for the award ceremony that night.
After all, this is a live broadcast.
If one step goes wrong, it could turn into a disaster for the entire evening.
In 2004, at the 38th Super Bowl halftime show, top superstar Janet-Jackson, the sister of Michael Jackson, served as a guest performer. She invited Superboy to perform solo Soon Justin Timberlake performed a song with himself.
At the end of the performance, Justin suddenly reached out to the left side of Jenny's chest and tore off the half leather bra on that side without warning, resulting in a restricted moment on the national live broadcast. Because of the powerful influence of the Super Bowl, this incident triggered a series of subsequent aftermath.
Afterwards, it even triggered an official FBI investigation, and this became the famous "Super Bowl incident".
Although both Jenny and Justin responded, the truth was not clarified, but instead fell into a maze.
Some people say this is Jenny's self-promotion, some say this is a performance that Jenny and Justin rehearsed in advance, some say this is a pure accident, some say this is Justin's little prank that turned into a vicious incident.
Wait, wait.
However, the result could not be more obvious -
Janet Jackson suffered from unofficial low-key treatment for many years, and her career collapsed; Justin, on the other hand, prospered despite missing the Grammy Awards a month later. , but still took home the trophy and his career is booming.
This also became a turning point for American live television.
Since then, all live television broadcasts in the United States have been required to delay processing, at least thirty seconds or even one minute, leaving time for television stations to deal with unexpected incidents.
The influence is actually always there.
In 2021, Justin publicly admitted for the first time that the Super Bowl incident was his mistake. His sudden move was purely a personal prank, but it triggered an unimaginable chain effect; he also publicly apologized.
For Jenny, this is an apology seventeen years late.
Look back to the present moment.
In 2003, there was no delay, the live broadcast was a live broadcast, the whole process was synchronized and presented in real time. All the details of the award ceremony were presented through the camera lens. Even if you were caught secretly picking your nose and being caught by the camera, you were caught.
Because of this, there was a tense atmosphere in the banquet hall of the Hollywood Hilton Hotel——
The Golden Globe Awards, which is the second most watched television event after the Oscars The program attracts more than 30 million viewers every year.
No one wants to make a fool of themselves on live camera.
Therefore, Charlie Kaufman’s diet is not so difficult to understand:
Before social networks penetrated into every aspect of people’s daily lives, stages like the Golden Globe Awards were the best exposure opportunities that those behind the scenes dreamed of. Everyone gets dressed up and shows off.
Sitting in the position, you can already deeply feel the invisible tension; let alone the stage?
When Anson stood on the side stage, the tight and hot air quietly hit his face with fangs and claws. This was a completely different experience from the Emmy Awards.
The Emmy Award was an accident. Anson really didn't expect the award. Everything happened so suddenly that there was no time to be nervous.
At the Golden Globe Awards, everything was arranged. Anson knew what he was about to face, and the tension quietly tightened his nerves.
