Chapter 765: Entertaining Yourself
It’s a pity, but this is indeed not Anson’s year.
There is no doubt that "Chicago" and "Adapted Screenplay" are the real favorites. Not only the Golden Globe Awards, they have also taken the lead in the Oscar competition. Discussions have been going on before tonight's awards ceremony Focusing on Richard Gere and Nicolas Cage, the results were completely predictable.
The "cat and mouse game" has never been among the favorites to win awards.
As for Anson, he is only 20 years old, and with the label of idol, being nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy is a victory——
The future is promising.
There was a little regret on the corner of his mouth. Anson did not hide this emotion, showing it generously, but soon the relief disappeared, and he let out a long breath, which finally turned into a big smile, and followed Catherine Stand up with Cameron and others and give Richard Gere a round of applause.
Pa bang bang. Bang bang bang!
The audience stood up, the applause was rising steadily, and soon it reached a new peak amidst whistles and cheers, turning into a storm that swept the entire audience.
At this moment, Anson is no longer important, there is only one protagonist, Richard Gere.
It’s hard to believe, but this is Richard Gere’s third Golden Globe nomination since “An Officer and a Gentleman” in 1983 and “Pretty Woman” in 1991, but it’s his first time winning the award.
It took twenty years, and finally, this long-famous and charming actor received his first award recognition.
So, this moment belongs to Richard, exclusive to Richard.
The entire Hollywood Hilton Hotel burst into applause.
Awards, are they important?
It is not that important, because the real key to testing excellent works is time, and only time can verify whether a work is great or not.
The only thing that matters is the work.
However, it is also important because it is recognition from the industry, because it is proof of existence.
More importantly, the industry cares. A trophy can often bring more attention and allow actors, directors, and screenwriters to gain more creative freedom.
At this moment, the spotlight is completely focused on Richard Kiel.
Anson also stood up and applauded sincerely.
Cameron Diaz looked at Richard Gere as he stepped onto the stage. His expression was slightly dazed, but he only stayed there for a moment and then put it away, smiled again, and clapped his hands politely.
As he turned his head, Cameron noticed Anson's gaze.
She realized that her expression should fall into Anson's eyes, but she didn't care. She stood up and applauded while looking at Anson with a shrug and a polite eye roll, no words needed. That expression and movement are so clear:
We are all the same.
Throughout Cameron Diaz's career, she has been trying to tear off the label on the vase and prove that she doesn't just rely on appearance.
Unfortunately, we have suffered repeated defeats and repeated defeats.
In fact, let alone Oscar nominations, even at the Golden Globe Awards, which is willing to reward musical and comedy works, this year's "Gangs of New York" is only the second nomination in Cameron's acting career.
Pitifully few.
So, does Cameron care?
Of course she cares, it's impossible not to be nervous.
The treatment of Richard Gere at this moment is the result of Cameron's dream. She also hopes that she can get her own recognition through hard work and pains, except for "I'm Crazy About Mary" and "Weird in Disguise" "In addition to the classic vase image in other works, she is also an excellent actor.
But the initiative is not in their hands, what can they do?
Cameron chose a positive stance and laughed at himself.
Looked at Anson and made a face. The two of them laughed.
However, a sad premonition is always true -
First, Charlie Kaufman missed the award, breaking an upset that was not an upset.
"About Schmidt" written and directed by Alexander Payne defeated the imaginative meta-story "Adapted Screenplay" and once again let Charlie fail.
Amidst the roaring applause of congratulations from the audience, many eyes turned to Charlie.
Charlie's face was expressionless, like a ruthless applauding robot; but Anson noticed the way Charlie looked at Anthony not far away, and that look clearly said:
Can we leave? It doesn’t matter if I’m hungry and I have to support myself.
Subsequently, Cameron failed to replicate Richa's miracle and unfortunately missed the award.
The Best Supporting Actress Award was won by Meryl Streep for "Adapted Screenplay".
Although Meryl Streep temporarily set a record of eighteen Oscar nominations in 2003, she is now one of the most respected and trustworthy actresses in the industry, even faintly It surpassed the momentum that Katharine Hepburn had in Hollywood.
This year, Meryl is still making great films one after another. One "Every Time" won the love of film critics and was invited to participate in the main competition of the Berlin Film Festival next month; The good news opened up her imagination, and the double insurance of the two works once again earned her numerous recognitions.
Cameron applauded Meryl without hesitation and even whistled.
Then, he turned to look at Anson and said, "Huh, it's finally over."
The tension subsided, and the whole person felt relaxed. Apart from a little regret, there was also some relief.
Unlike Anson, Cameron is thirty years old this year. She knows how short the shelf life of Hollywood actresses is. If she cannot transform early, the road to the future will only become narrower and narrower.
Hollywood, behind the glamor, is cruel and ruthless.
Anson met Cameron's gaze, "People always say that award ceremonies are just a small group of people in Hollywood entertaining themselves behind closed doors. In this case, you can also have a carnival by yourself behind closed doors. I believe Jared wouldn’t mind having a small pool party at your villa tonight.”
Well, there will be quite a few parties tonight, maybe eighty if not a hundred.
It is also known as Carnival.
But when Anson said this, Cameron couldn't help but think about it. Holding a party by yourself and giving awards to yourself is indeed very Hollywood.
Phew.
A smile crept up the corner of his mouth. Cameron swept away the gloom and his whole brow brightened, "Ha, has anyone ever said that you have countless strange ideas in your head?"
Anson, " I thought this was a good thing in Hollywood."
Cameron immediately heard the complaints in Anson's words, "It's a good thing, of course it's a good thing. Trust me, you don't want to be with Brad Pitt or Tom. Cruise chatting."
Anson: Well, is this really good? "They should be fairly fluent in English, right?"
"Haha." Cameron laughed. "They don't have anything, they just talk to themselves. God, they don't know how to talk without talking about themselves. To be honest, I have no interest in their bodies, and of course, their souls are even less interested. ”
This “vase” also has an interesting soul.
"That's right." Cameron's eyes lit up, "I have a friend who I think I should introduce to you. Charlie, Charlie Kaufman."
Anson: This... …
“Of course,” Anson’s smile rose.
Cameron turned around and quickly found Charlie, who looked hopeless in the crowd. He raised his right hand high and waved excitedly to say hello.
