Chapter 438 The Winners and Losers of the Golden Globe Awards
"Hi Tom...Nicole..."
"Aha, Ronald..."
The 49th Golden Globe Awards was still held in the lobby of the Beverly Hilton Hotel according to the management. Everyone formed a round table according to the crew, and then they all faced the awards stage in front.
There is food and drink on the round table, as well as various alcoholic beverages. However, because Bette Midler and Robin Williams drank too much at the awards ceremony in the past and said a lot of things that were not suitable for live TV, so now there is only champagne
and red wine, spirits have been removed.
This time the gangster film "Winner Takes All" starring Bruce Willis and Dustin Hoffman also had only one Golden Globe nomination, for Nicole Kidman's performance as the mistress of the two gang bosses.
Ronald and Diane were therefore seated at a table with them, along with various lone "nominees."
Diane is wearing an Armani suit, which shows the trendy features of a working girl's dress. The very light white vertical lines make her look more playful than a real lawyer. Nicole Kidman is also wearing a black dress,
The necklace inlaid with black gemstones gives it a sense of mystery.
The two hugged and sat down, showing sympathy in their eyes.
The Golden Globe Awards are more like the early Oscars, not so formal. Everyone is like attending a dinner party. The clothes are not as fancy as the Oscars. People who have taste and money will buy some low-key luxury jewelry and clothing.
Ronald and Tom Cruise were sitting together, whispering to each other, causing people around them to keep looking over. These two figures with strong box office appeal in Hollywood, who knows what new movie are they discussing?
"Why are you attending? Is it because? Hmm?"
"No, I bought the Golden Globe Award. Everyone knows what happened..."
"Hahaha……"
In fact, Ronald and Cruise were talking about how much it cost for a woman to be nominated for the Golden Globe Awards. Each of these two crews only had one actress on the nomination list, which was already a very important one.
Signal, this is a bought nomination.
Of course, this purchase does not necessarily involve money. The attendance of big celebrities can increase the ratings of the Golden Globe Awards. The organizers must be happy to give them a nomination. Anyway, when the nomination is announced, the camera will sweep over, and Mötley Crüe will
Si and Ronald are sitting together, and the audience may have cut away just to see this.
"Hahaha..." The two men, who came to the Golden Globe Awards just to make their wives happy, laughed in a way that only each other could understand.
Maybe because the laughter was a little louder, the big star at the other table next to him, Warren Beatty, looked over. In fact, when he was young, he was even more powerful than Tom Cruise. There were not many scandals with Cruise.
In comparison, he has slept with all the female celebrities inside and outside the industry.
Even First Lady Barbara coveted his reputation, especially inviting him to attend dinners at the White House through Weintraub.
However, although a man's shelf life is long, he is already fifty-five years old, and he still shows his age when he plays and sings every night. This time, "The Love of the World" stood out at the Golden Globe Awards, killing everyone. He and his girlfriend Annette Bay
Ningdu was nominated for Best Actor and Best Actress, as well as Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. Both Harvey Carter and Ben Kingsley were nominated for Best Supporting Actor.
Zero Zero, a biographical film about the past gangster Bugsy, has been nominated for a total of eight Golden Globe Awards, so the one in the middle and the biggest table is their crew.
"Hi Ronald, Tom..."
Perhaps Annette Bening's obviously pregnant body was disturbed by the laughter of Ronald and Cruise, and Warren Beatty came over to say hello in a gentlemanly manner.
"Congratulations, Warren..." Ronald could now address these famous celebrities by their first names instead of their surnames, which was very casual.
"Ronald, you are also very good, but the time is not right..." Warren Beatty actually used Ronald's congratulations to show his qualifications. It seems that it is still his time, and Ronald will have him in terms of seniority.
Time.
Ronald was astonished for a moment. This is not an Oscar or a Golden Globe award, which is just a ticket. Can I tell you?
Besides, Warren Beatty, like Kevin Costner, won the Oscar for Best Director. "Reds" didn't win the Best Actor that year either.
Award, guest appearance to win the award.
Could it be that this is to ridicule me for not receiving the Best Director Award? Ronald muttered in his heart, becoming worried:
"Of course, the Golden Globe Award is a very important award..." Thinking unhappy in his heart and speaking unforgivingly, Ronald mocked Warren Beatty severely.
"Hahaha, you really understand me. They say you are an actor's director. It's really great, Ronald..." Warren Beatty not only didn't get angry, but also had a happy face, and turned back to Annette Bening
A blowing kiss.
This made Ronald a little confused. Does he really like the Golden Globe Award so much?
I ran to the back and asked Richard for advice, and it turned out that Warren Beatty was really a lover of the Golden Globe Awards. Back then, he and the late Natalie Wood made their debut film "Where Are the Souls at the End of the World?"
Splendor in the Grass?)", won the Best Newcomer Award.
Afterwards, whether it was the hugely controversial "Heroes" or a surprisingly bad movie, the Golden Globe Awards gave him appropriate nominations. This made Warren Beatty and the Golden Globe Awards a matter of mutual achievement.
After all, the Golden Globe Awards need stars, and Beatty also needs awards, no matter what awards they are...
When Diane saw Ronald coming back, she held his hand and intertwined their fingers. Ronald felt warm inside and kissed her.
At this moment, Billy Crystal, who was sitting at another table next to him, also came over. He greeted Ronald and others one by one. He was still the host of the Oscars in March, and now he wants to talk to you all
After the celebrity greets him well, no one will put any pressure on him if he makes fun of him.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! There is no negative side effect in building a good relationship with comedy stars. Comedy stars do not have much competition with ordinary stars, and ordinary stars still cooperate with them
, the choice to broaden the scope of the drama, so Tom Cruise and Billy Crystal were talking and laughing.
"Are they your friends usually?"
"Yes, hahaha..."
They were talking about the two supporting characters in "City Hillbillies", Daniel Stern and Bruce Kirby. Although these two people don't look like stars, they are really suitable for starring in this kind of comedy, white-collar workers working in the city.
The stereotypes were performed very well by them.
"No, originally I was looking for Rick Moranis, but he had family problems, so I looked for Bruno Kirby, and he was just right. In fact, the most important supporting role was Jack Palance, and I picked him first.
He was the one who got hit...Jack, Jack..."
Following Billy Crystal's gaze, Ronald turned around and saw that Jack Palance, who had always played the villain in Western movies, was smiling at his table...
"Ah..." Ronald felt a strong force coming from his hand. Diane squeezed his hand so tightly that his fingers turned white.
Next to Jack Palance over there is Helen Slater. She played the supporting actress in that movie. No wonder... I said, why are you suddenly intertwined with me?
Ronald looked at Diane with her head held high, and knew in her heart that what was supposed to come would still come.
"Pat, Pat..." Ronald had no choice but to turn his head and look around for his public relations expert, Pat Kingsley.
"I'm going to talk to her about the public relations after the awards..." Ronald quietly let go of Diane's hand and ran away to a position behind where no cameras were facing him.
"Don't look back, Ronald. Come right over here..." Pat Kingsley said directly to Ronald who wanted to turn around.
"Turn around, face me at 45 degrees, so you can look behind you with your peripheral vision, and be careful not to turn your head completely..."
Kingsley guided Ronald very carefully. Ronald, who listened to the advice, looked ahead with his peripheral vision while talking to Kingsley.
"Oh..." Diane was still looking at him with a smile.
"This way..." Pat Kingsley asked Ronald to change his position again. Helen over there was also looking over.
However, Helen has always liked environmental protection, so she came here wearing ordinary clothes today. However, she looks young, and even an ordinary red top is very elegant.
"If Diane wins the Golden Globe Award, I will arrange interviews with two newspapers at the door. You and Diane will just answer their questions... I have already talked with Helen, and you will go to the Kansas Film Festival next.
During festival time, she will go there..."
Pat Kingsley said and handed Ronald a piece of paper with the names of two media outlets on it. This woman spoke and acted crisply and her professionalism was unquestionable. She also had experience in handling the male and female issues of celebrities.
Very informative. She made things well organized in just a few words. Ronald was very satisfied with her.
"What are you talking about?" Diane was still very curious when she saw Ronald coming back.
"This is for you. When the interview comes, the answers to the questions from these two media are all arranged by Pat..."
…
The Golden Globe awards are quite casual. Because there are TV awards, the pace of awarding is twice as fast as that of the Oscars. Often an award presenter quickly announces the nominations and then opens the envelope to announce the winners.
The winners' speeches were also very simple. The round table they sat at was also very close to the stage. Everyone was more conscious and did not waste too much time. When there were no awards, many people would interact with people at the surrounding tables.
Chatting.
But the table of Ronald and Tom Cruise seemed to have received a cold reception. No one came to chat, and no one received an award.
The Silence of the Lambs won Best Actress (Drama), and Nick Nolte, the leading actor in Barbra Streisand's "Prince of Tides", won Best Actor (Drama). Their acceptance speeches were very orthodox.
, especially Jodie Foster, thanked all the nominees present in every possible way.
But when it came to Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical, trouble was inevitable at the Golden Globe Awards.
None of the female stars in this award were very good-looking. Finally, Bette Midler won the award for the leading actress in "For Boys". She started wiping tears excitedly when she went up. She didn't know whether it was because of nervousness or too much financial pressure.
nonsense.
"I want to thank my co-producers and everyone on the crew for their outstanding work, even though no one saw the movie..."
At this point, everyone just gave me a little kind laughter.
"I didn't expect that I would win the award. Thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, I didn't even buy a dress, unlike some guests..."
When this seemingly self-deprecating acceptance speech came out, the faces of several female celebrities at Ronald's table collapsed. Didn't they mean to say that they didn't win the award, but instead went out of their way to buy a lot of expensive dresses?
"This is not a decent statement. Booking a dress for an award is a sign of respect for the audience, even for me..."
The next table is the very old Jessica Tandy, the Oscar winner last year. This year she has another very interesting movie "Fried Green Tomatoes" and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress.
This movie is very strong, and the other actress is last year's winner Kathy Bates. It tells a series of stories about a housewife who accidentally meets an older woman in a cafe and tells her about her youth.
Kathy Bates was also nominated for Best Actress, and Jessica Tandy didn't really like Bette Midler's style.
After hearing what the old movie queen said, Diane and Nicole Kidman's faces became slightly better. It seems that Bette Midler is not just talking about us.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Ronald also secretly muttered that Helen also came to attend the awards today wearing casual clothes. Bette Midler had previously collaborated with her in the movie "Family"
"Evil husband" cannot be...
"No, Bette Midler drank too much again. Her drinking habit was not under control..." Ronald, who got up to go to the bathroom, happened to ask Pat Kingsley.
"Everything is being arranged. Helen will be introduced to another reporter's point when you and Diane are being interviewed..." Pat Kingsley made a gesture to Ronald that everything was under control.
…
…
"The nominees for Best Supporting Actor are: Harvey Cartel, The Great and Powerful. Ben Kingsley, The Great and Powerful..."
Award guest Jennifer Jason Leigh opened the big envelope and said, "The winner is Jack Palance, the city bumpkin..."
To the surprise of many people, two of the nominees, "The Big Apple", did not win. Instead, Jack Palance, the actor who plays the old cowboy in the comedy "Hillbilly," won the award.
"Anyone who has read the latest issue of Beverly Hills Magazine, page 213, your dress will definitely look familiar. I heard that dressing formally helps win awards. I have always rented dresses in the past, but this time I had them made.
The filmmakers called several times, but they didn’t answer..."
"Hahaha……"
Ronald was so happy that this old man was very humorous and used his self-deprecating way to relieve the embarrassment of many actresses including Diane and Kidman.
"Bah bang bang...", Ronald took the lead in applauding, and this time everyone's applause was sincere. This old actor went to Europe to develop in the 1950s, and after returning to Hollywood, he never returned to his previous heights.
This time he stars in the comedy "City Hillbilly". The role of this hard-core old cowboy is indeed something that only an old actor like him who has played cowboys in western movies for many years can play the role.
"I want to say a few words to those actors. No matter what you are pursuing, you have to stay in this industry long enough..." Jack Palance briefly thanked Billy Crystal and himself
The family members went down.
Afterwards, neither Diane nor Nicole Kidman got the Best Supporting Actress award, which was given to a comedy film called "The King of Fishes" starring Mercedes-Benz Ruhl and Robin Williams. The tone of the entire movie
It's very weird, but it's also really funny... Both of them won the Golden Globe this time...
"Well, her performance was very good..." Diane didn't win the award, so she didn't look too disappointed. Seeing that her smile was sincere, Ronald asked quietly, "Aren't you disappointed?"
"I'm a little bit, but Jack Palance is right, you have to hold on here long enough..."
Ronald hugged her. After Jack Palance's acceptance speech, it seemed that Diane was no longer so obsessed with winning this award.
But there are still people who are extremely persistent, such as Warren Beatty. After winning the Golden Globe Award for Best Picture, he was extremely nervous when he came on stage. He held the golden ball and didn’t know how to speak. He seemed excited, but also seemed to be worried about Annie.
Bening and the two supporting actors were not satisfied with not winning the award. He even brought everyone to the stage and talked for a long time.
"Gees, there's a reason why this guy didn't win the Oscar..." Ronald couldn't help complaining. This poor acting was used to thank the crew members for longer screen time and better jobs.
In a close-up, he also complained about the unfairness of his films receiving too few awards.
Warren Beatty's mind is as old as his face...
"Remember the order..." Pat Kingsley came up to remind Ronald and Diane after finishing.
"Ah, I'm so happy, this year's Golden Globes are so exciting. Why the excitement? I nominated it. Mercedes Ruhl deserves it and I'm happy for her... you ask me and Ronald
Of course I am very happy to work together. I finally don’t have to separate to make a movie... He is a great director..."
While Diane was being interviewed, Ronald, under Kingsley's arrangement, quickly chatted with Helen Slater in another aisle next to her. The two agreed to meet at the Kansas Film Critics Awards.
They kissed each other and then separated quickly. Ronald slipped back to the aisle where Diane was being interviewed. Kingsley's arrangement was professional. The second reporter had just started to ask questions...
"Pfft..."
A beautiful woman next to her suddenly laughed out loud. She witnessed the superb time management ability of Ronald, the public relations expert.
"What are you laughing at?" Ronald saw his acquaintance Michelle Pfeiffer and laughed too.
"You haven't wiped off your lipstick yet..." Pfeiffer pointed at Ronald's face.
"Where, where, it's too late..." Ronald saw Diane looking over.
"Let's do it... don't worry..." Michelle Pfeiffer saw Diane coming over after answering the question, so she simply stepped forward and kissed Ronald twice on the face politely... "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot
My lipstick..." Pretending to be careless, he apologized to Diane.
"It's okay... wipe it quickly..." Diane took out a handkerchief...
