Chapter 1947: 1947

Michael Rossel is definitely the most shocked of everyone. He originally thought he had countless opportunities to convince Hugo. After all, there was still some time before the Golden Globe Awards ceremony, but now he realized that the night of the "River" was his only chance and he did not seize it.

Although Michael has been working hard to make up for the loss and trying to convince Hugo to attend this year's Golden Globe Awards through Rick and Joseph, he still failed. After playing Tai Chi, Hugo was sure to miss this award ceremony.

When the New York Post broke the news that Hugo Lancaster missed the Golden Globes for the fifth consecutive year, everyone was noisy. Although the focus of their attention was that "Hugo looked down on the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and refused to attend the Golden Globes", in order to satirize Hugo as a big shot, people's attention did not develop as much as Colin Meller expected.

This is the fifth consecutive year that Hugo has missed the Golden Globes. People have long been accustomed to this result and will not think that Hugo is playing a big shot. On the contrary, many people think that since Hugo is absent, it must mean that there is something wrong with the Golden Globes itself. The Hollywood Foreign Reporter Association may be tricky.

This idea spread across the United States like a wild grassland blowing by the spring breeze.

There was a riot in the acting department of the 53rd Golden Globe Awards before, and there was a ridiculous nomination list for the 54th Golden Globe Awards later. In fact, this is not the first time that the Golden Globe Awards have faced such a situation. In recent years, the signs of the Golden Globe Awards have become more and more obvious, and the controversy that has naturally become increasingly greater. This time, it has once again triggered countless discussions, making the Golden Globe at the forefront of unprecedented storm.

This made Michael completely fumbling. Not only did the media public relations almost not keep up in time, but even the live broadcast of the award ceremony was almost ignored. The arrangement of the red carpet was constantly problematic, and the order of the award presentation guests also had problems. Even the performance stage that night had problems, and a series of problems made the ABC anxious. Michael couldn't take care of himself and had no time to help in the depths.

Many protests broke out within the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. If the award ceremony cannot be held smoothly, it will definitely be a disaster. It will not only hurt their direct interests, but also their long-term future interests. This makes Michael a temporary problem for a while and is in dire straits.

Just amid this crazy controversy, many people in the circle speculated whether this year's award ceremony would be cancelled. The 55th Golden Globe Awards were grandly made in chaos, and still kicked off at the Hilton Hotel in Hollywood as usual in previous years. The emergence of further tragedies was avoided at the last moment.

As everyone expected, Hugo did not appear at the award ceremony that night. Leonardo took his mother and grandmother to appear on the red carpet, successfully filling the gap in Hugo's absence.

It is particularly worth mentioning that Tom Cruise also missed the award ceremony, which made the Golden Globes dim. Currently, only Brad Pitt appears as an awards guest in Hollywood's top iron triangle, but in the absence of sufficient weight, Brad is only screaming from girls around him, and his voice is completely suppressed by Leonardo. This also became the hottest topic on the red carpet of the award ceremony that night.

However, all the topics ultimately need to return to the awards themselves, especially in the whirlpool of controversy, the list of awards for the Golden Globes will be even more noticeable. It can be imagined that if the list of winners this year is controversial, perhaps the position of Chairman Michael may be unsteady in less than two years. The turbulent Hollywood Foreign Press Association will inevitably weaken its influence again, and the connections that have been working hard for many years will be reshuffled. The direction of the development of the Golden Globes will be truly unknown.

But for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association or more accurately, for Michael, the only good news in chaos is that this year's awards are not a difficult problem. After years of struggle and entanglement, the excellence of the "Titanic" and "Los Angeles Secret" became their best choice, winning Michael a valuable respite.

These two works are undoubtedly the most successful works in 1997, both from the box office results, the influence of works, including the affirmation of film critics, artistic value, etc., and the works with the most enthusiastic response. What is even more commendable is that these two works are also the first and second place in the year-end box office in 1997: When the Golden Globes were held, "Los Angeles City Secret" was still the year-end champion, and "Titanic" has successfully entered the top five.

This has been proved by previous major awards ceremonies. Although the concept of "Award Season" has not appeared at this time, the uncrowned kings who have never been lonely have gradually begun to connect various awards ceremonies to see which work won more professional recognition before the arrival of the Golden Globe and Oscars. The vague concept of awards season has gradually formed.

Before the Golden Globes arrived, major awards ceremony made its debut.

The five major unions led by the American Producer Union Award, the American Screenwriter Union Award, the American Actors Union Award, the American Editors Union Award, and the American Editors Union Award have become the best spokespersons for practitioners in the industry; the huge media organizations led by the American National Critics Association, the American National Film Critics Association Award, and the North American Radio and Film Critics Association Award also have a certain voice, representing the critics of major TV and radio stations; the Regional Film Critics Association, led by the New York Film Critics Association and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association Award have become the last piece of the puzzle, and they represent regional professional opinions.

This also made the prototype of the entire awards season truly appear on major media for the first time. Although no one did a summary statistics, the winning results of these authoritative awards ceremony have become an important reference basis.

"Titanic" and "Los Angeles City Secret" are the two works that have been mentioned the most names at major awards ceremonies this year. If you add the praise of "Full-Enjoyable" to the overall pattern of this year's "Awards Season". The three works almost won more than 70% of the awards, and their powerful momentum is close to the three troikas "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Novels", "Shawshank Redemption", and even strictly speaking, the influence is even stronger: because "Titanic", "Los Angeles City Secret", and "Full-Enjoyable" all exceeded 100 million US dollars, and the audience's attention has risen to an unprecedented level.

Therefore, for Michael, the list of winners is his winning magic weapon to turn the situation around, winning him a valuable opportunity to adjust. Choosing "Titanic" and "Los Angeles City Secret", which is a decision that will never go wrong. The list of winners of the 55th Golden Globes also proves this.

Among the most competitive best film and best director awards, "Titanic" defeated the most powerful competitor "Los Angeles Secret" and won two trophies. This also shows Michael's unswerving choice: the Golden Globe Award will follow the introduction of the blockbuster era, stand on the same chariot as commercial films, and rise strongly.

After missing the "** Day" last year, the Golden Globes did not miss the "Titanic" this year, so the Hollywood Foreign Press Association gave up the "Los Angeles Secret" that reproduced the glory of retro drama movies, and chose the "Titanic" that brought a century-long love with visual effects.

In addition to the best film and best director in the plot, "Titanic" also won two trophies for Best Original Songs and Best Movie Soundtrack. Eight nominations finally won four trophies, with outstanding results, but among the other four major awards that lost, "Titanic" lost to its most powerful competitor "Los Angeles Secret", which also made the list of winners more and more interesting.

"Los Angeles City Secret" won three heavyweight trophysical actors, best supporting actresses and best supporting actors in the plot category. Although it was not able to shake James Cameron's position in the two departments of the plot category and the best director, "Los Angeles City Secret" has won corresponding recognition, which has received numerous praises before.

It is worth mentioning that Hugo won the Best Actor in the Drama Awards for the first time with his outstanding performance of "Los Angeles City Secret", which is undoubtedly a moment that countless people remember. Because this is one of the biggest controversies in the past few years. As the best male actor among the baby boomers, Hugo has won countless honors, but the Golden Globe Awards has not given him corresponding recognition for a long time. A Best Actor in the Music Comedy Awards became the biggest irony. However, all of this was finally over on this night.

In this duel, Hugo defeated Matt Damon, who defeated the "spirit catcher", Daniel Day Lewis, "In the Name of Love", Leonardo DiCaprio of "Titanic" and Peter Fonda of "Beekeeper's Ulees.gold" can be regarded as a standout. In addition to Daniel's ability to create some suspense for Hugo, Hugo's performance in "Los Angeles Secret" has an absolute advantage, and this award is well deserved.

Since Hugo missed the award ceremony that night, director James Brooks took the stage to receive the award instead of Hugo. James gave Hugo a proper thanks to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and expressed his admiration for Hugo's dedicated work. Although there was no surprise, he at least gave the Golden Globe a face.

Among the three trophys won by "Los Angeles City Secret", the other two are supporting role awards, but there is no Best Screenwriter Award, and "Titanic" has not been able to win the award. So who is the final winning work? Is this a coincidence or a deliberate storm?
