Chapter 650 650 Celebration Banquet

The historical achievements created by "Almost Famous" actually don't have much real meaning to the members of To the Dead Glory. They are always just a group of fanatics who like music, but it is undeniable that the band's success It also proved the correctness of the five people's choices at the beginning. Alfonso's desperate gamble paid off, Fukukin, Neil and Pedro's perseverance for many years has been proved, and Hugo is even stronger for his musical talent. Confidence.

If before the Grammys, perhaps the band was a little complacent about the wave of controversy caused by "almost famous", then after the Grammy nominations, the band members are clearly aware that they are just beginning their first step. It's just one step, the colorfulness of Vanity Fair is just the tip of the iceberg, so they must stick to themselves, be happy, joyful and excited, but they must not get lost.

So, after "Nearly Famous" topped the Billboard Albums chart, Glory to Death was just a night out at Al's Bar, and there was no more celebration after that. The band members returned to their ordinary lives of practice and occasional publicity, while Hugo continued to devote himself to the shooting of "Pulp Fiction".

Due to the filming of "Pulp Fiction", Hugo was absent from the 51st Golden Globe Awards ceremony on January 22. Although the ceremony was held at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, Hugo had to devote himself to film work. In , I have no experience to prepare clothes and attend the party, so I can only be absent with regret.

In general, people will think that an absence of an awards ceremony is equivalent to missing an award, although there are exceptions, but this is generally the case. This year, Hugo, who won two individual nominations for Best Actor in a Musical Comedy and Best Supporting Actor, also continued this tradition.

In the competition for best actor in a musical comedy, Hugo lost to this year's biggest hit, Robin Williams, who won the title with his outstanding performance in "Skinny Daddy"; In the competition for the supporting actor, a big upset broke out. Tommy-Lee-Jones relied on his excellent performance in "The End of the World" to complete the last-minute transcendence, defeating the popular Hugo before the awards ceremony and winning the title. 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 returned empty-handed when he was nominated for double acting skills last year. He was nominated for double acting skills again this year. The negative impact of the awards should have completely disappeared, and Hugo's performance in "Schindler's List" definitely deserved to be called the biggest hit for best supporting actor, not only the Golden Globes , even at the Oscars, Hugo was the first choice for Best Supporting Actor.

But now, after Hugo missed the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor, the trend of Oscar's Best Supporting Actor also suddenly changed. Hugo was no longer the number one favorite, and Tommy immediately became the winner of the Golden Globe Award. number one seed.

This caused an uproar in almost all the media, because Hugo's performance in the past two years has been good enough, although Tommy has also used "Coal. Miner's. Daughter", "Assassination of Kennedy" before. (JFK)" won the Best Supporting Actor nomination and finally passed by, but Hugo not only has the performance of last year, but also the injustice that "Dead Poets Society" gave a classic performance but did not even get nominated, so the best The supporting actor award is indeed "Home for the Elderly".

In the list of best supporting actor winners, take Oscar as an example, although there was once Timothy Hutton who won the fifty-third Oscar in 1981 when he was only twenty years old. Best Supporting Actor for the Golden Man, but in fact, the average age of Best Supporting Actor in Oscar history is 46 years old. Most actors under the age of 45 can be nominated, but it is very difficult to win the award.

Therefore, Tommy, who is twenty-one years older than Hugo, naturally has an absolute advantage.

It's just that last year Hugo failed to win the Oscar after the double nomination of the Golden Globe Awards, and he didn't even get the nomination. On the contrary, he also witnessed the "Scent of a Woman" co-partner Al Pacino ascended to the top actor. Brilliant, and "Smell the fragrance and know a woman" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" were completely defeated in the competition of other awards.

So what about this year? After this year's double Hugo nominations once again lost the Golden Globes, will Oscar ignore this strong rising young actor for the second year in a row - actors under the age of 30 are all "young people" to the Academy. It has undoubtedly become the focus of the most enthusiastic discussion in the media.

But this year's format is obviously slightly different. Although "Sleepless in Seattle" is very weak at the Oscars, "Schindler's List" is not. Hugo's individual awards aside, the biggest winner at this year's Ballon d'Or ceremony is undoubtedly "Schindler's List."

This movie, which is considered to be Steven Spielberg's best work in history, successfully won three heavyweight trophies for best drama, best director, and best screenwriter, and is proud of the fifty-first Golden Globe Awards.

In other awards, the best actor in the drama category belongs to Tom Hanks of "Philadelphia Story", and the best actress was won by Holly Hunter of "Piano Love".

In the musical comedy category, "Slim Dad" completed the hegemony, and the two heavyweight trophies for the best film and best actor in this department belonged to this 1993 most popular comedy film. Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy goes to Angela Bassett of "What's. Love. Got. To. Do. With. It" The best supporting actress belongs to Winona Ryder of "The Age of Innocence".

From the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards, it can be seen that the popular movies are the expected ones, and "Schindler's List" undoubtedly has the upper hand. Director James Ivory's "Howard Manor" last year was much inferior. Although the nomination stage was brilliant, it all stopped at the nomination.

However, the Golden Globes are not Oscars after all, and it is still unknown how these works will perform at the Oscars. Compared to the Golden Globes, the Oscars are the ultimate test.

The 66th Oscars will be held on March 21st this year, and there are still more than two months left, so everything is still unknown.

Even so, this is still a huge victory for the "Schindler's List" crew. On the one hand, the crew has achieved impressive results at the Golden Globe Awards, and on the other hand, the film's box office is finally third in January. Zhou broke through the 100 million threshold, which is undoubtedly gratifying for Universal Pictures, so Universal Pictures held a special celebration banquet, not only to reward the crew members, but also to continue sprinting for the public relations department and publicity department. Good grades, sprint Oscar, cheer up.

"Pulp Fiction" was officially announced on January 26th, ending the nearly 40-day short filming. Although there were unpleasant times within the crew, after the Uma scene ended, the crew regained their cohesion and completed all the shooting 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 after practice. Prepared for the celebration banquet.

When Hugo arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, reporters outside the door began to use flashlights to aim at Hugo, and the flashing lights poured down, making Hugo almost mistaken for the golden ball tonight. The day of the award ceremony. Since today's celebration banquet is an internal event, Universal Pictures did not invite the media, but the media reporters who were on the move didn't want to miss such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so they naturally squatted at the door of the Hilton Hotel.

Hugo, who recently held a $100 million box office in one hand and two million album sales in the other, can be said to be very proud. Since the release of "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, he has not been in the market for nearly three months. After leaving the position of "front page headlines", one thing after another, one storm after another, and this wave after wave directly pushed Hugo to the hottest position in Hollywood today.

So, when Hugo appeared, reporters swarmed up, like a group of lions eating a zebra. Now Hugo has completely overcome his nervousness 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 being surrounded by reporters' spears and cannons. I feel that the shots around me are like black holes, which makes it hard to be happy. Especially in this private occasion, unlike the red carpet with a protective belt, now reporters almost have to smash the camera into Hugo's face, which makes it even more difficult to adapt.

But Hugo didn't panic at all. After getting out of the car, facing the swarming reporters, he stood calmly in place, neither advancing nor retreating, just letting the reporters take pictures with all their might, while the reporters came one after another. The sound of questioning made his ears reverberate, but Hugo didn't answer either, so he just stood silently.

In fact, there were only a few photos that the reporter wanted to take. It was enough to have one that could be used in the newspaper. So Hugo didn’t respond. Still have to save some film, can not all be wasted.

So, about a minute later, the reporters started to be a little embarrassed, and they all relaxed a little bit in twos and threes. Originally, everyone was leaning forward with tensed muscles, but now they are all relaxed, and they took a small step back, helpless. He looked at Hugo in a casual dress.

I came to the celebration banquet today. Hugo obviously didn't intend to be too formal. He was wearing a light yellow T-shirt with jeans and a red and black motorcycle leather jacket. There was some wildness in his youth, and some casually. sexy. It was originally a very friendly dress, but at this time, the reporters looked at Hugo who was smiling and standing in place, but they didn't dare to attack.

Hugo quietly glanced at the reporters around him. His peaceful eyes didn't have too many sharp edges, but he couldn't look directly. Hearing Gentleman Hugo say politely, "Excuse me, is the filming finished? So, can I go in for the banquet now?"

As soon as these words came out, the reporters stepped back without realizing it. One step, two steps, the crowd that was only surrounded by them just vacated a passage, just like Moses crossing the sea.
