Chapter 650： Celebration banquet

ads_wz_txt;

The historical achievements created by "Almost Fame" do not actually have much real meaning for the members of Glory to the Dead. They have always been just a group of enthusiasts who like music, but it is undeniable that the band's success has been achieved. It also proved the correctness of the five people’s choices at the beginning. Alfonso’s desperate bet paid off. The persistence of Fogin, Neal and Pedro for many years has been proved, and Hugo is even stronger for his musical talents. Confidence.

If it is said that before the Grammys, the band may be somewhat complacent about the wave of controversy caused by "almost fame", then after the Grammy nomination turmoil, the band members are clearly aware that they have only just started their first. It's just one step, and the glamour of Vanity Fair reveals the tip of the iceberg, so they must stick to themselves, can be happy, joyful, and excited, but they can't get lost.

Therefore, after "Almost Fame" won the billboard album chart, it was only a night of partying in Al Bar, after which there was no more celebration. The band members devoted themselves to the ordinary life of usual practice and occasional promotion, while Hugo continued to invest in the shooting of "Pulp Fiction".

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

Generally speaking, people will think that the absence of the award ceremony is tantamount to passing the award. Although there are exceptions, this is generally the case. Hugo, who won two individual nominations for Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor in a Musical Comedy this year, also continued this tradition again.

In the battle for the best actor in a musical comedy, Hugo lost to Robin Williams, the biggest hit this year. Robin won the crown with his outstanding performance in "Slim Daddy"; but at the best In the supporting actor's competition, there was a big upset. Tommy Jones relied on his outstanding performance in "Death of the Dead" to complete the last-minute transcendence and defeated the popular Hugo before the awards ceremony. prize.

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 went home empty-handed after being nominated for acting double last year, and again this year was nominated for acting doubles. Logically speaking, Golden Raspberry The negative impact of the award should have completely disappeared, and Hugo’s performance in "Schindler’s List" is definitely well-deserved, and he is considered to be the most popular for best supporting actor, not only the Golden Globe Award. , Even at the Oscars, Hugo was the first candidate for best supporting actor.

But now, after Hugo missed the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actor, the trend of the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor has suddenly changed. Hugo is no longer the top favorite, and Tommy immediately became the prestige of the Golden Globe. The number one seed.

This has almost caused an uproar in all the media, because Hugo has performed well in the past two years, although Tommy has also used "miner's daughter (.'s. daughter and "assassinated Kennedy" before. (Jfk won the best supporting actor nomination and finally passed by regretfully, but Hugo not only had last year’s performance, but also the unjust case in which the "Death Poetry Club" dedicated a classic performance but did not even have a nomination, so it is the best. The supporting actor award is indeed the "nursing home".

Among the winners of the best supporting actor, take the Oscar as an example, although there was once Timothy Hutton (.) when he was only twenty years old, he won the best of the 53rd Oscar in 1981. The statuette supporting actor, but in fact, the average age of the best supporting actor in Oscar history is 46 years old. Most actors under the age of 45 can be nominated, but it is even more difficult to win the award.

Therefore, Tommy, who is 21 years older than Hugo, naturally has an absolute advantage.

It’s just that, last year Hugo lost the Oscars directly after the double nominations for the Golden Globe Awards. He didn’t even get the nomination. On the contrary, he witnessed the "Scent of a Woman" co-partner Al Pacino ascending to the top of the actor. Brilliant, and "Smell the fragrance to know a woman" and "Yihai Xiongfeng" even completely lost in the competition of other awards.

What about this year? After the double nominations of Hugo this year and losing the Golden Globes again, will the Oscars ignore this strong rising young actor for the second year in a row? Actors under the age of 30 are all "young people" for the academy. It has undoubtedly become the focus of the media's most enthusiastic discussion.

However, this year's format is obviously slightly different. Although "Seattle Sleepless" is very weak at the Oscars, "Schindler's List" is not. Regardless of Hugo's personal awards, the biggest winner of this year's Golden Globe Awards ceremony is undoubtedly "Schindler's list."

This film is considered to be the best work ever made by Steven Spielberg. It has successfully won three heavyweight trophies for the best film, best director, and best screenwriter in the drama category. The 51st Swordsman 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 (. Hunter) of "Piano Love".

In the musical comedy department, "Slim Daddy" has completed its dominance. The two heavyweight trophies for the best film and best actor in this department belong to this 1993 most popular comedy movie. The best actress in a musical comedy was won by Angela Bassett of "What's...it", and the best supporting actress regardless of department belongs to Winona Rhett in "The Age of Innocence".

It can be seen from the list of winners of the Golden Globe Awards that popular movies are just a few of the expected ones, and "Schindler's List" undoubtedly has the upper hand. The director James Ivory’s "Howard Manor" last year was not so good. Although the nomination stage was very successful, all of them 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 Oscar is the ultimate test.

The sixty-sixth Oscars this year will be held on March 21. There are still more than two months left at this time, so everything is still unknown.

Even so, it is still a huge victory for the crew of "Schindler's List". On the one hand, the crew achieved impressive results at the Golden Globe Awards, and on the other hand, the film's box office was finally third in January. Zhou broke 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 to sprint for the public relations department and the propaganda department. Good grades, sprint for Oscars, cheer.

"Pulp Fiction" was officially announced on January 26, ending a short filming of nearly forty days. Although unpleasant times occurred within the crew, after the end of the Uma scene, the crew regained their cohesion and completed all filming smoothly.

The celebration banquet held by Universal Pictures was held on the Saturday three days later. Hugo took a rest at home and adjusted for a day, and then joined the band’s daily practice. On the 29th, he went home after the practice. Prepared to attend the celebration banquet.

When Hugo arrived at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, reporters outside the door began to aim at Hugo with flashing lights. The flashing lights poured down, making Hugo almost mistakenly believe that tonight is the golden ball. The day of the award ceremony. Since today’s celebration banquet was an internal event, Universal Pictures did not invite the media, but the media reporters who were moved by the wind were not willing to miss such a golden opportunity, so naturally they squatted in front of the Hilton Hotel.

Recently, Hugo, with a box office of 100 million US dollars in one hand and two million album sales in the other hand, is a breeze. Since the release of "Schindler's List" at the end of last year, he hasn't had it for nearly three months. From the position of "front-page headlines", things followed one after another, storms one after another, and this wave after wave directly pushed Hugo to the hottest position in Hollywood today.

Therefore, when Hugo appeared, reporters swarmed up, as if a group of lions were eating 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 does not like the kind of being surrounded by reporters. It feels like every lens around me is like a black hole muzzle, which makes it hard to be happy. Especially in this kind of private occasions, unlike the red carpet with a protective belt, now reporters almost have to smash the camera on Hugo's face, which makes it more difficult to adapt.

But Hugo did not panic at all. After stepping out of the car, facing the swarming reporters, he stood calmly on the spot without moving forward or back, just letting the reporters take photos hard, and reporters one after another. The sound of the question made her ears reverberate, but Hugo did not answer either, so she stood quietly.

In fact, there are only a few photos that reporters want to take. It is enough if they can be used in the newspaper. Therefore, Hugo did not respond. After the reporters kept pressing the shutter for one minute, they felt bored. Still have to save some film, not all of it is wasted.

So, about a minute later, the reporters all started to feel a little bit stunned, in twos and threes, they all relaxed a little bit Everyone was leaning forward with tight muscles, but now they all relax and step back a little. After a short while, he looked helplessly at Hugo in a casual dress.

Coming to the celebration banquet today, Hugo obviously did not intend to be too formal. A light yellow t-shirt with jeans, a red and black motorcycle leather jacket, with some wildness in youth, and some in casualness. Sexy. Originally this was a very friendly dress, but at this time the reporters looked at Hugo, who was smiling and standing still, but they didn't dare to attack.

Hugo just glanced at the surrounding reporters quietly. The peaceful eyes didn’t have much sharpness, but they made people unable to look directly at them. After staring at each other for a while, they could only avoid them in embarrassment and embarrassment. Hearing Gentleman Hugo, he said politely, "Is it finished? So, can I go in for the banquet now?"

As soon as the words came out, the reporters did not realize that they stepped back, one step, two steps, and the originally surrounded crowd left a passage like this, as if it were Moses crossing the sea.
