Chapter 650 650 Celebration Banquet
The historical achievements created by "almost famous" actually do not have much real meaning for the players of the glory to death. They are always just a group of fanatics who like music. But it is undeniable that the success of the band also proves the correctness of the five people's original choices. Alfonso's desperate bets paid off. Fogin, Neil and Pedro's years of persistence have been proved, and Hugo has even stronger confidence in his musical talent.
If before the Grammy, the band might be a little complacent about the controversy caused by "almost famous", then after the Grammy nomination qualification storm, the band members clearly realized that they had just taken the first step now, and the gloriousness of the Vanity Fair was revealed at the tip of the iceberg, so they must stick to themselves, be happy, be happy, and be excited, but not be lost.
Therefore, after "almost famous" won the Billboard album rankings, Honor only reveled in Al Bar for one night, and there was no more celebration afterwards. The band members devoted themselves to their usual practice and occasional promotion, while Hugo continued to devote themselves to the shooting of "pulp novels".
Due to the shooting of "Pulp Novel", Hugo missed the 51st Golden Globe Awards ceremony held on January 22. Although the ceremony was held at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Hugo had to devote himself to the film work and had no experience in preparing clothes and attending the party, so he could only be absent with regret.
Generally speaking, people think that those who absent the award ceremony are equivalent to passing by the award. Although there are exceptions, this is generally the case. Hugo, who won two personal nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in Music Comedy, has continued this tradition again.
In the competition for the best actor in music comedy, Hugo lost to the biggest favorite of this year, Robin Williams. Robin won the championship with his outstanding performance in "Slim Daddy"; but in the competition for the best supporting actor, a big upset broke out. Tommy Lee Jones relied on his outstanding performance in "The Desperate World" to surpass Hugo in the final moments, defeating the hottest Hugo before the award ceremony and winning the award.
The unpopularity of this project was also called "the biggest regret of this year's awards ceremony" by the media after the awards ceremony. Hugo was nominated for both acting skills last year and returned empty-handed. This year, he was nominated for both acting skills again. Logically speaking, the negative impact of the Golden Raspberry Award should have completely disappeared, and Hugo's performance on "Schindler's List" can definitely be called a true reputation. He is considered the biggest favorite for the best supporting actor. Not only the Golden Globe Award, but even at the Oscars, Hugo is also the first candidate for the best supporting actor.
But now, after Hugo missed the Best Supporting Actor in the Golden Globes, the trend of Best Supporting Actor in the Oscars has changed suddenly. Hugo is no longer the most popular, and Tommy immediately became the number one seed with the Power of the Golden Globes.
This caused an uproar in almost all media, because Hugo's performance in the past two years has been excellent enough. Although Tommy had won the nomination for Best Supporting Actor for "the daughter of a miner (coal.ner’s.daughter)" and "assassination of Kennedy (jfk)" and finally passed by regretfully, Hugo not only performed last year, but also had the unjust case of "Death Poetry Club" that year, but he did not even have nominations. Therefore, the Best Supporting Actor Award was indeed a "nutritional home".
In the list of winners of Best Supporting Actors, taking the Oscar as an example, although Timothy Hutton once won the Best Little Golden Supporting Actor at the 53rd Academy in 1981 when he was only twenty years old, in fact, the average age of Best Supporting Actor in the history of the Oscar is 46 years old. Most actors under the age of 45 can be nominated, but it is extremely difficult to win the award.
Therefore, Tommy, who is twenty-one years older than Hugo, naturally has an absolute advantage.
However, after Hugo failed to win the double nominations at the Golden Globe Awards last year, he directly lost the Oscars and did not even get the nomination. On the contrary, he also witnessed the glory of "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" partner Al Pacino as the top actor, and "Smelling the Fragrance and Knowing the Woman" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" were completely defeated in the competition for other awards.
So what about this year? After Hugo's double nominations again lost to the Golden Globes this year, will the Oscar ignore this strongly rising young actor. A male actor under the age of 30 are all "young people" to the academy, which undoubtedly has become the focus of discussion that the media is most keen on.
However, this year's format is obviously slightly different. Although "Seattle Sleeping in the Night" is very weak at the Oscars, the "Schindler's List" is not the case. Putting aside Hugo's personal awards, the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globes Awards ceremony is undoubtedly the "Schindler's List".
This movie, considered to be Steven Spielberg's best work in history, successfully won three heavyweight trophysics, Best Film, Best Director and Best Screenwriter, and the 51st Golden Globe Awards.
In other awards, the best actor in the plot category belongs to Tom Hanks of "Philadelphia Story", and the best actress was won by Holly Hunter (Holly Hunter) of "Piano Don't Love".
The music comedy department is the "Slim Dad" who has completed his dominance. The two heavyweight trophysics of the department and the Best Actor are both the most popular comedy movies of 1993. The best actress in the music comedy category was won by Angela Bassette (angela.bassie TT), who is "what's.love.got.to.do.with.it", while the best supporting actress in the department is attributed to Winona Reed in the "Innocent Age".
From the list of winners of the Golden Globes, it can be seen that popular movies are expected, and "Schindler's list" undoubtedly gained the upper hand. The "Farewell Heaven" that was previously hyped by the media is obviously much worse than the "Howard Manor" film of director James Ivori last year. Although the nomination stage is very glorious, it all stopped at the nomination.
However, the Golden Globes are not Oscars after all, and it is still an unknown number of what kind of performance these works will perform at the Oscars. Compared with the Golden Globes, the Oscars are the ultimate test.
The 66th Oscar this year will be held on March 21, and there are more than two months left at this time, so everything is still unknown.
Despite this, this is still a huge victory for the crew of "Schindler's List". On the one hand, the crew achieved impressive results at the Golden Globes, and on the other hand, the box office of the movie finally exceeded the 100 million threshold in the third week of January. This is undoubtedly gratifying for Universal Pictures. Therefore, Universal Pictures held a special celebration banquet, not only to reward the crew members, but also to the Public Relations Department and Propaganda Department continue to sprint for good results and cheer for the Oscars.
"Pulp Novel" was officially announced to be completed on January 26, ending a short filming of nearly forty days. Although there was an unpleasant time within the crew, after the Uma scene, the crew regained its cohesion and completed all the filming smoothly.
The celebration banquet held by Universal Pictures was held on Saturday three days later. Hugo rested at home for a day and then joined the band's daily practice. On the 29th, he went home to prepare for the celebration banquet after the practice was completed.
When Hugo arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, the reporters outside the door began to point the flash lights at Hugo, and the "slam" flash lights poured down, making Hugo almost mistakenly think that tonight was the day for the Golden Globe Awards ceremony. Since today's celebration banquet was an internal event, Universal Pictures did not invite the media, but the media reporters who were active were unwilling to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they naturally waited at the door of the Hilton Hotel.
Recently, Hugo, who holds a box office of $100 million in one hand and a two million in the other, is proud of his success. Since the release of "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, he has not left the "front page headline" position for nearly three months. Things have happened one after another, one after another, and this wave after another has directly pushed Hugo to the hottest position in Hollywood today.
So, when Hugo appears, reporters flock to it, as if a group of lions were sharing a zebra. Now Hugo has completely overcome the tension when facing reporters. It is no longer him who needs to be nervous when facing reporters, but the reporter himself. But even so, Hugo still doesn't like the feeling of being surrounded by reporters' long spears and short cannons. The cameras around him are like black muzzles, which makes it difficult to be happy. Especially in this private occasion, unlike the red carpet with a protective belt, now reporters almost have to hit Hugo's face, which makes it even more difficult to adapt.
But Hugo was not panicked at all. After walking out of the car, facing the reporters who were rushing up, he stood calmly, neither moving forward nor retreating, and letting the reporters take photos with all their strength. The reporters' questions echoed in their ears, but Hugo did not answer, and just stood quietly.
In fact, the reporter only had a few photos to take, and it was enough to have something to be used in the newspaper, so Hugo did not respond at all. After the reporters pressed the shutter for a minute, they felt bored. They still had to save some film and not waste it all.
So, about a minute later, the reporters began to feel a little embarrassed, and they relaxed a little a little. Originally, everyone leaned forward with tight muscles, but now they all relaxed, and took a little step back and looked helplessly at Hugo dressed in casual clothes.
Today, Hugo was not going to be too formal. He wore a light yellow T-shirt with jeans and a red and black motorcycle leather jacket with some wildness in his youth and some sexy in his randomness. Originally, this was a very friendly dress, but at this time, the reporters looked at Hugo who was smiling and standing there, but they didn't dare to attack.
Hugo quietly glanced at the reporters around him. His peaceful eyes were not too sharp, but it was impossible to look directly. After looking at each other for a while, he could only avoid it in embarrassment and embarrassment. Then he heard Hugo say politely, "Have you finished the filming? So, can I go in and attend the banquet now?"
Chapter completed!
