[US Entertainment] 1994

Another year of Golden Globes.

When Josh sat in the gorgeous banquet hall of the Hilton Hotel for the fourth time and tasted the delicacies prepared by top chefs, he couldn't help but recall the scene when he was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for the first time. At that time, he was young, Like an unripe green apple, my heart is filled with the excitement of being on the most important awards ceremony in Hollywood.

The Golden Globes did change his fate. The name Josh Walter was first known to American audiences through the Golden Globes. Then, "Scent of a Woman" made him nominated for the second time. Le's List" was nominated and won, and until now he has been shortlisted for the best actor in the drama category with "The Shawshank Redemption".

Josh feels very lucky. Although he experienced a dormant period before becoming famous, compared to other famous actors, the time it took for Josh to become famous from obscurity can be described as short. The winner of the Ball Award Best Actor, every movie he starred in after that achieved outstanding results. It only took a short four years for Josh to become a first-line actor in Hollywood.

Although Josh's status is still not comparable to that of the two Toms, looking at the current Hollywood, there are only a handful of actors who can match his achievements.

In fact, if Josh's upcoming movies can still maintain the box office level of "Shawshank Redemption" and "Speed", he will reach the top sooner or later.

In Hollywood, box office performance has always been the standard for measuring the status of actors. In the golden age of movies, actors often had both box office appeal and strength. Films such as "Gone with the Wind" and "Breakfast at Tiffany's" have won commercial and award awards. achieved beautiful results.Later, although superstars such as Tom Cruise and Harrison Ford were not favored by the academy in terms of awards, their excellent box office results made them easily enter the top ranks. Will Smith, Leonardo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp and others have successfully climbed to the top with their outstanding box office results. On the contrary, some less famous Oscar winners and actresses have always been in the second and third tiers in Hollywood, and have not become real superstars.

Although an Oscar supporting actor statuette made Hollywood recognize Josh's acting skills, his soaring salary and rising status this year are still due to the excellent box office of "Speed" and "Shawshank Redemption".

........................

"Hey, Josh, what are you thinking?" Seeing that Josh was in a daze, Frank Darabont couldn't help asking curiously.

Josh shook his head: "I'm thinking about tonight's list of winners, it would be great if my name could appear on it."

Frank Darabont smiled slightly: "I think there is great hope, don't you have confidence in yourself?"

Josh shrugged: "No."

"That's not your style at all, I always thought you were like the morning sun, always full of energy, fresh, dazzling..."

Josh sighed: "Then I can threaten Holly Hunter, she must read me when she reads the list of winners on stage, otherwise I will burn her."

Although "The Shawshank Redemption" is rated more than "Forrest Gump" in the future, it cannot be denied that "Forrest Gump" is also a classic movie, especially in terms of the performance of the actors.Tom Hanks perfectly reproduces the image of the clumsy Forrest Gump, and the role of Andy can be played by anyone, because Stephen King's original book and Frank Darabont's adaptation doomed the film's success. The strength lies in the plot.

There are many such movies.

For example, "Schindler's List", this movie really attracts attention to the history of Jewish suffering. Although the performances of Liam Neeson and Josh have added a lot to the movie, Steven Spielberg is It is the person who controls the overall situation behind the scenes. Without his portrayal of the plot and his grasp of the rhythm, "Schindler's List" would hardly become a classic.

Another example is "Scent of a Woman". The story of this movie is undoubtedly triggered by the unlucky Charlie. Charlie's play is not inferior to Lieutenant Colonel Frank, but the highlights of the whole movie are concentrated on Lieutenant Colonel Frank. ——Weird personality, understanding women, trying to commit suicide... The interpretation of this character is particularly difficult. It can even be said that the elements of this character have always been favored by academics.

Therefore, many film critics in later generations laughed at the Oscars. Actors who want to win awards must either pretend to be ugly, or pretend to be psychotic, depressed, fetish and homosexual. The probability of winning a normal person is extremely low.

While the two were chatting, the awards ceremony officially began. Josh, as the presenter, presented the Best Supporting Actress Award this year. This award was issued earlier, so Josh only chatted with Frank Darabont for a while before running away Backstage to start preparations.

"Time, you must pay attention to the time, understand Josh?"

Josh nodded: "I know who is the protagonist."

He lightly straightened his tie: "Is this okay?"

"Perfect!"

The staff who led him waited nervously for the reminder, but Josh relaxed. When the time on the chronograph counted down for 30 seconds, Josh strode onto the stage and smiled at the dark crowd below the stage.

Many familiar faces in the crowd waved to him, and the lively Samuel Jackson even whistled, causing the audience to burst into laughter.

"Good evening everyone!" Josh grinned, "The success of a movie is inseparable from the efforts of every actor. They are the cornerstone of creating a movie. They have extremely beautiful faces outside the camera. But it faces the audience with a completely different face. This year, five actresses have been nominated for the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress with their outstanding performances. Kirsten Dunst, her coldness in the film even makes adults Afraid, Dianne Wiest, she played a Broadway actor, Robin Wright..."

"The winner of the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress is—"

Josh opened the envelope, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was even brighter.

In the past, when he stood under the stage nervously waiting for the award results to be announced, he even secretly complained about those award presenters who deliberately kept things secret, but now he finally understands the feelings of those people——

The feeling of touching other people's emotions can really satisfy people's desire for control.

But as one of the former victims, Josh quickly reported the winner's name: "Diana West, "Bullets Over Broadway", congratulations!"

Diana West ran up to the stage from the audience with a full face of excitement, grabbed the trophy firmly, and gave Josh a big hug at the same time.

Josh quickly left the stage, looking at Diana West's excited face, he couldn't help showing a smile.

As an actor, there is nothing more exciting than the moment of winning the award!

Winona Ryder took the stage to present Best Supporting Actor after Best Supporting Actress, which was won by Martin Landau for his performance in Ed Wood.

In the following time, various awards in the TV drama department were awarded one by one. Josh sat in the audience and applauded silently.

In any case, this year's Golden Globe Awards is destined to be a stage for Tom Hanks to shine. Although Josh doesn't particularly care about the award, he still deeply envies Tom Hanks' achievements.

He won an Oscar for supporting actor, but Tom Hanks is the best actor; "Speed" slammed several films in 1994, but lost to "Forrest Gump"; "Shawshank's Redemption" helped Joe It was not easy to be shortlisted for the Golden Globe Best Actor Award, but professionals believed that Tom Hanks had the best chance of winning...

Anyone who encounters such an opponent will be heartbroken, but the excellence of Tom Hanks convinced Josh.

With a low sigh, Josh simply ignored the ownership of the awards. While staring at the delicacies on the round table, drooling, he took the time to applaud the winners. Instead, the time passed quickly and his stomach was almost full.

When Josh was a little sleepy, the awards ceremony finally reached the part that interested him.

The Best Screenplay Award was awarded to Quentin. "Pulp Fiction" won all screenwriting awards this year. Pulp Fiction took the lead and won this heavyweight trophy.

"The Shawshank Redemption" has yet to win a prize.

This was followed by Best Actress in a Musical Comedy, which was won by actress Jamie Lee Curtis for her performance in True Lies, and Best Actor in a Musical Comedy went to Hugh Grant's first Golden Globe for Four Weddings and a Funeral.

The leading roles in "True Lies" and "Four Weddings and a Funeral" undoubtedly proved the weakness of the comedy department. After all, the names of the two actors did not even appear on the list of Oscar nominations announced later.

Of course, considering that several classic films such as "Forrest Gump", "Pulp Fiction", "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Burning Days" are all concentrated in the drama department, it is understandable that the comedy category is weak. Of course, " The commercial achievements of True Lies and Four Weddings and a Funeral are beyond doubt. Both of them achieved outstanding box office results, and Hugh Grant, the British lover, gradually became famous in Hollywood.

This was followed by the award for Best Actress in a Drama Series.

Tom Hanks struts onto the stage with a confident smile hard to ignore as he presents the award for best actress in a leading role to Jessica Lange The performance in "Indulgence" took the trophy.

Jessica Lange is not a well-known actor in Hollywood, but her acting skills have always been recognized by the industry. In 1983, she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with the movie "My Fair Man". Considered to be the most promising actress to win an Oscar.

After Jessica Lange's speech, Holly Hunter beamed onto the stage to announce the winner of Best Actor.

Josh rested his chin on one hand and looked at the stage calmly.

He didn't hear what Holly Hunter said at all. After all, the trophy was destined to belong to Tom Hanks and had nothing to do with him.Even because it was too late, his mind was full of sleepiness, and he just wanted to end the awards ceremony early and go home to sleep.

Even in the middle of Holly Hunter's award presentation, Josh took out his cell phone and sent Carlos a text message: "Sitting still for two hours, my butt is getting hot from friction!"

Carlos replied, "Is it really hot?"

"Of course!"

"You have to touch it to know."

Josh's head suddenly "boomed", and the sides of his ears immediately burst into heat, which was astonishingly red.

Hehe, Carlos was molesting him!

On such a serious occasion as the Golden Globe Awards Ceremony, Josh felt as if he had done something shameful. He glanced around and was about to pull out his phone to reply to Carlos, but his body was suddenly pushed hard .

"You do..." Josh looked at the director suspiciously, but the director pointed at the stage, "You won the award, Josh!"

Josh gave him a stupid look: "...???"

Holly Hunter smiled at Josh: "Josh, are you too nervous?"

Josh immediately widened his eyes and pointed at himself in disbelief. After getting an affirmative answer, he became excited, jumped onto the stage quickly, and took away the trophy from Holly Hunter. He felt that everything It was all so unbelievable, the heart was beating desperately in the chest, thumping, thumping, but the mind was empty when standing on the stage, unable to speak a word into the microphone.

Josh's reaction drew applause from the audience.

He breathed calmly and said in a low voice: "I really didn't expect this award to be awarded to me, so I didn't even prepare my acceptance speech. Thank you Frank, you gave me the confidence to play the role of Andy well. Thank you Morgan, It's been a pleasure working with you..."

"Finally, I would like to thank my most important and closest friend, Carlos, for your encouragement and support, without you, I would not be who I am today!"

In front of the TV, Carlos's originally calm face suddenly shattered. He clenched the remote control tightly, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but draw an arc, his eyes lighted up slightly, and Josh's figure was all reflected. The next second , he blinked and laughed softly:

"Little bastard."

Josh walked off the stage in a daze, his footsteps so vacant as if he was walking in space. Even in his dream, he never thought that the Golden Globe would award him the Best Actor in a Drama Series, but just now he was holding the Golden Globe Ball trophy, exactly the same touch as last year.

In 1994, he actually won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor.

He beat Tom Hanks! ! !

When stepping off the stage, Josh felt a little guilty. He never thought that he would take away the Golden Globe from Tom Hanks. He didn't even know how he could impress the judges of the Foreign Press Association. I dare not do it!

Josh has even thought about the reaction from the outside world. No matter what, he won the Golden Globe Award, which is considered an upset!

But he's still super happy and super excited!

This trophy will be his most important hero trophy!

From today onwards, Josh Walter is the winner of the Golden Globe Awards!

Frank Darabont stepped forward and gave Josh a big hug: "Congratulations, Josh!"

Josh accepted his hug with a dizzy gaze, and hugged the rest of the crew of "The Shawshank Redemption", but his mood has soared at this moment, he can't wait for the award ceremony to end in time, he wants to present Carlos shares the awesome news.

Carlos should be too excited to speak!

Josh has completely ignored the existence of such things as TV sets in the world at this moment. He even put his mobile phone behind his head, his cheeks were red, his ears were red, and although he was sitting, his heart was beating non-stop , it seems that he can jump out of his body's control in the next second.

The next Best Director and Best Picture had been completely ignored by Josh. He rested his chin with one hand and pressed his heart with the other hand, but his excitement did not subside after a long time.
