Hollywood New Century

Chapter 24: Golden Globes

On January 17, 2006, the 63rd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards were held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

The Golden Globe Awards have been held here many years ago. The current location of the Oscars is called the Kodak Theater. It was a theater built in 2001. Kodak has been named after 20 years. After Kodak goes bankrupt, the naming rights will be taken over by Dolby. Got it, the theater was renamed the Dolby Theater.

Before 2001, the venue of the Oscars changed frequently. The Los Angeles Music Center, Los Angeles Holy Citizen Auditorium, Los Angeles Dorothy Chandler Hall, etc. were all held in the past. After all, it's all about the Oscar committee.

The judges of the Oscars are five or six thousand Oscar judges on the committee; the judges of the Golden Globes are the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.

In terms of influence, the Golden Globe Awards are of course far less influential than the Oscars, but it is also a grand event in the American film and television industry, and it is also a film event second only to the Oscars.

There are two Golden Globe Awards in the Best Picture and Best Actor and Actor Awards, which are divided into drama and musical comedy;

In terms of screenplay, the Golden Globe Award has only one Best Screenplay Award, while the Oscar has Best Original Screenplay and Best Adapted Screenplay;

The rest of the movie awards are similar, except that the Golden Globes have no technical awards, and there are many fewer categories. After all, the Golden Globes also award dramas, not just movies.

At 4 p.m., the venue for the Golden Globe Awards was already crowded, and many stars had already arrived one after another. After all, the red carpet show was the most important opening.

Simon came to the Hilton Hotel alone, because the "Juno" crew came over after three o'clock, and now it is past five o'clock. There are too many stars, fans and media workers.

The long red carpet is also full of entertainers, movies, TV and singers lining up to be interviewed...

Men are almost all suits, and women are also high-heeled evening dresses, whether it is a star, a reporter or a host.

Simon sighed and just wanted to find a place to enter the venue, after all, there were lounges, bars and media studios.

"Hi, Simon, here!" Nicole Kidman, who was being interviewed by reporters, waved to Simon who was not far away.

"God, Simon Parker, you are so young, you look more like a Hollywood star," the reporter quickly started to raise the microphone, "Good afternoon!"

"Fortunately, it's a good weather today, and it didn't rain!" Simon laughed.

"Well, if it's raining, you can also use an umbrella," the reporter smiled. It's not uncommon for the Golden Globe Awards to rain.

"By the way, Simon, Nicole, your movie "Juno" has been nominated for several Golden Globe Awards, are you confident of winning it?"

"We think so too, but it all depends on what the judges say!" Last year's most beautiful star Nicole Kidman looked modest at the moment.

"Yes, of course I'm happy to win the award, and if I can't, I'll be honored!" Simon responded indifferently.

Then I asked some more about the filming process and anecdotes. Of course, the main object of the interview was Nicole Kidman. Of course, the stars have more topics than the people behind the scenes.

"Too many people at the Golden Globes," Simon muttered as they walked to the hotel venue with Nicole Kidman.

"Okay, the film festival, according to the nominations, our "Juno" and the focus's "Brokeback Mountain" are the most watched, do you think they will win the award?" Nicole Kidman as producer , of course also concerned.

"I don't know, what did the Foreign Press Association think? Who knows?" Simon felt very calm. Well, the Golden Globes can also give him some prestige, but the Oscars in March are the focus.

"By the way, where are our crew members?" Simon found that there were a lot of people and didn't see it.

"I guess where to be interviewed, when the time comes, the main venue will sit together!" Nicole said.

"Then let's go in, the ceremony starts at seven o'clock, and it's almost time," Simon said and walked into the venue.

The Golden Globe Awards are held in the form of an awards banquet. There are hundreds of tables in the hall for the guests to sit together.

The location of the crew of "Juno" is good. After all, it was nominated for a heavyweight award. The position of table 10 is in the front and middle.

"Just the two of you?" When Simon and Nicole came together, it was just Ellen Page and the director.

"And the crew a little behind!" Ellen Page responded.

"I thought the same crew would all sit together," Simon said, and it seemed to depend on fame and nominations.

"Sit down, when did you all come to the hotel?"

"It came at 3 p.m., and we ate here by the way, and there were dishes on the table back then, and now it's just drinks and some snacks," director Jason Reitman said with a smile.

"Smart, fortunately, I also ate at home, otherwise there will be an awards ceremony of more than three hours," Simon smiled.

At seven o'clock in the evening, the 63rd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards Ceremony officially started. The host teased the lively atmosphere for a while. The movie area in the front and the TV area in the back are always the objects of ridicule.

"Finally, I want to ask Nicole Kidman a question, can you tell me how much $100 million is, God, your income is definitely more than Hollywood!"

Afterwards, laughter and applause also sounded at the same time. Of course, the camera was also aimed at Nicole Kidman, who was beautiful. Of course, Simon, who was sitting beside her, couldn't let it go.

"I'll be presenting the Best Supporting Actor award later," Nicole whispered.

"You have a lot of topics, and the Golden Globes also need ratings!" Simon whispered.

"I don't know if we can win two awards!" Nicole Kidman has achieved success as a producer for the second time, and of course hopes to win some awards.

"Jason Reitman, Ellen Page's best director and best actress in a musical comedy is not easy, the qualifications are too shallow, the best musical comedy film can be expected, "Brokeback Mountain" ' was nominated for Best Drama Movie, isn't it," Simon said with a smile, these three are grand prizes, and it feels good to win one.

Nicole Kidman nodded, then got up and went backstage.

The jury of the Golden Globe Awards is composed of 90 members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an anonymous organization, and many of them are not journalists.

The boring awards finally came to the nominated awards. Two British actors, Keira Knightley and Rachel Weisz, presented the best screenplay as guests. This is also a relatively important award.

"The nominated films are all excellent films from the previous year!" Keira Knightley began to introduce,

Woody Allen, "Match Point"

Simon Pike, "Juno"

Paul Haggis and Bobby Morrisco in "Crash"

Tony Kushner and Eric Ross "Munich"

Diana Osana and Larry McMurtry in "Brokeback Mountain"

The camera stopped for a while on the faces of the various winners, and Simon Pike smiled politely.

"Simon Pike, Juno!"

With applause, Nicole Kidman hugged Simon, "Congratulations!"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Everyone on the table smiled and congratulated.

"Thank you, thank you," Simon stood up and hugged directors Jason Reitman and Ellen Page, whispering: "Don't worry about shaving your head today!"

Interspersed between the tables, some people congratulated from time to time, and Simon responded politely.

When I came to the podium, I took the trophy from the two British actresses, and greeted the two of them cordially, "Thank you, thank you!"

"Congratulations, I also like "Juno" very much," Keira Knightley, who is not too old now, said with a smile in Simon's ear when hugging.

Simon stood on the podium with the trophy and started his speech: "Fortunately, at least I won't worry about shaving my head today. Thank you to all the members of the Foreign Correspondents Association and the crew, thank you!"

Then, in the applause of everyone, he walked off the stage like this.

Next, for the best foreign language film, there are two Chinese films in the five finalists, "Kung Fu" by Stephen Chow and "The Promise" by Chen Kaige. But didn't win.

Ellen Page did not win the Best Actor and Actress Award in a Musical Comedy;

"Alan, you are still young, you will have a chance in the future," Simon comforted, and looked at Jason Reitman again. It is estimated that the best director has no other roles. The best screenwriter won the award. The screenwriter of "Bishan", the best director must be Ang Lee.

After the award for Best Actor and Actor in a Dramatic Movie is presented, it is the Best Director.

Sure enough, "Brokeback Mountain"'s Ang Lee won the best director.

In the end, it is the best movie. "Broken Arm Mountain" will go to the next city and win the best drama movie.

There is only one final award left, the Best Musical Comedy Film Award, which is awarded to Oscar winner Charlize Theron.

"Mrs. Henderson's Gift"

"Pride and Prejudice"

"Juno"

"Squid and Whale"

"Forever"

Simon frowned, "Nicole, you're holding my hand too hard, nails!"

"Oh, I'm a little nervous, we got a best screenwriter after all," Nicole whispered.

"He's only 24 years old this year, and he was still in college the year before. Last year, he made a movie with a global box office of nearly $250 million with a budget of only $7 million," Charlize Theron said loudly: "Juno"

Amid applause and congratulations from the surrounding crowd, Simon Pike, Nicole Kidman and Jason Reitman, Ellen Page all took the stage.

"The crew of "Juno", have you seen it, all of you have a share," Simon raised the trophy to the crew members who didn't come up on the podium.

"Roar!" Simon's more and more enthusiastic applause responded.

Later, Simon was given the position of Nicole. At this time, she estimated that she hoped to perform.

Simon and the director and starring two watched on the side.
