[US Entertainment] Actor

The breath of Christmas is gradually approaching, and the rhythm of Christmas songs is heard everywhere in the streets and alleys.Leonardo ran back to another house in Los Angeles the day before Christmas. He was born in Los Angeles, and his parents also live in Los Angeles. Even for an important festival like Christmas, he doesn’t need to travel too far.Ebert and Lynn made an appointment to go shopping in the supermarket. Fortunately, even paparazzi would enjoy their personal life at home on such days. Although Ebert and Lynn were recognized by other customers when they queued up to check out, they also No one bothered him deliberately.

Instead, he got a lot of good-natured smiles.

Lin En hugged his waist and carried a large box to the back seat of the car with a grunt: "Congress and the government have been worried about the bankruptcy of the economy, but looking at it now, the spending power of Americans is still very high."

Ebert complained: "I can only blame you for buying a bunch of messy things, a bunch of sweets, drinks, and boring toys. It's hard for me to understand. You are already a millionaire agent. Why do you see The discounted products in the supermarket will still be involuntarily crowded to grab them."

"That's because I have a sense of urgency. Even if I have money now, I will never forget the poor times before." Lynn opened a bag of potato chips and bit into it, "Am I Forgot to tell you, Mark's parents are going on a round the world trip again, and the couple are very sticky, so I invited Mark to spend Christmas with us. You think I bought a bunch of spices for today's Dinner? You're too naive Ebert, I don't know how to cook, it's better to leave it to professional chefs."

Lynn's daughter has always spent Christmas with her ex-wife. Every year after Christmas, he rushes to his daughter's side and presents carefully selected gifts. Ebert couldn't help but give him a hug with his loving appearance. Tears of sympathy, but this kind of sympathy will always disappear when seeing Lynn's chic daily life. For some playful guys, sympathy is completely unnecessary.

Christmas is easy and pleasant, but thinking of the Golden Globes and Oscars after the festival, Ebert couldn't help frowning.

This year's awards season is in a state of chaos.For male actors, Forest Whitaker and Ebert are the leading figures among the nominees. As for the best film award, there have been considerable differences in the major awards.

The National Board of Review loves Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima," while the Broadcast Film Critics Association awarded best picture to "The Departed," Alejandro Gonzalez's "Babel" was loved by the Cannes Film Festival, and the comedy film "Dreamgirls" received widespread attention on the Golden Globe nomination list. The great success at the independent film festival has won the favor of major awards. Several films seem to be champions, which also makes the direction of the entire awards season full of uncertainty.

The previously announced Golden Globe nominations not only did not weaken this chaotic trend, but made the results more confusing.

The nominees for best picture in the drama category are "The Departed," "Babel," "Motherhood," "The Queen" and "Bobby," while the five nominees for best picture in the comedy category are "Little Miss Sunshine." ", "Borat," "The Devil Wears Prada," "Dreamgirls" and "Thank You for Smoking," "Letters from Iwo Jima" didn't make it into the Best Picture fight, but, ridiculously, In the list of nominees for best director, Clint Eastwood was shortlisted for "Letters from Iwo Jima" and "Flags of Our Fathers", and the remaining three places were nominated by Martin Scorsese, Alessandro Gonzalez and "Queen" director Stephen Friars split.

For the directors nominated for Best Picture in Drama and Comedy, it is a shame that the list of Best Director nominees is monopolized by Clint Eastwood, who is not in the best picture competition at all. matter.

In the Oscars, even if a film is shortlisted for best picture, if the director is not shortlisted for best director, the film is already a big step behind in the competition for awards, and there is no hope of winning the final award at all.

The choice of the Golden Globes is undoubtedly very ridiculous.

After the new century, the selection of the Golden Globes and the Oscars are drifting away. This kind of joke-like nomination and award selection has gradually become the norm. Entertainment is far better than professionalism, and gimmicks are higher than awards. The result is already doomed .

So Ebert would rather exchange 10 Golden Globes for the Oscar statuette.

Ebert, Leonardo DiCaprio, Forest Whitaker, Peter O'Toole and Will Smith are in the running for Best Actor in a Drama Series, with Ebert for The Departed , Leonardo relied on "Blood Diamond" to get nominated.The competition for best actor in a drama category this year is far stronger than in comedy categories. Johnny Depp was even nominated for a Golden Globe for his performance in "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest." The performance of the second part is slightly worse than the first one, and the nomination of the Golden Globe winner is really far-fetched.

Of course, in a weak market, the success of "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest" has given Hollywood filmmakers a lot of confidence. The Golden Globe Awards is willing to give this excellent commercial blockbuster an extra nomination. Excuse me.

"The Departed" is nominated for Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Screenplay, Jack Nicholson and Mark Wahlberg, in addition to Best Picture Drama and Ebert's Best Actor nominations They were shortlisted for the best supporting actor competition respectively. For the latter, this is undoubtedly a long-awaited result.

Not long after the nominations were announced, Christmas arrived, and Ebert and Lynn also temporarily diverted their energies. Everything was based on having a good Christmas. Anyway, all the chaos would stop abruptly after the announcement of the Oscar nominations.

Carrying a large box of things through the door, Mark came. Before he could sit down and talk for a while, Mark voluntarily ran to the kitchen to prepare dinner. Ebert tried to help, but was kicked out 10 minutes later because of his clumsiness. out.

"Naive Ebert, even pigs don't want to eat the food you make." Lynn finished half a bag of potato chips in an instant, "I don't know what gave you the confidence to cook well."

"Dear Mr. Lynn Hawke, has your agent career been going smoothly for so long that you really want to find someone to beat you up?" Ebert rolled up his sleeves, "To be honest , I really don't mind being such a bad guy, although seeing blood in the new year is not a good sign."

"Leonardo's absence makes you anxious like this? Oh, sure enough, no matter whether it's a man or a woman, don't fall in love. After falling in love, people will become less like themselves." Lynn looked up and sighed, "So now I The living conditions are the best, no worries, no worries, just find someone to accompany you in the empty nights."

Ebert took the fruit tea handed over by Mark and poured a cup: "So I think you are very confident, and your self-confidence has surpassed most people in the universe. I never think that a person who is over forty and weighs Soaring, lazy, poisonous tongue, smelly feet and greedy men will be liked by women, wake up Lynn, no one loves you, no one loves your big belly and poisoned mouth, they only love you money."

"At least I have money."

"It's a pity that those girls will leave you after you find out that you won't give them anything they want except money. I guess right?"

"That's because I put [-]% of my energy and resources on you. Everyone wants to be the next you, even the female version of you." Lynn said, "I don't think I cheated. because I never made promises, and what I can offer them is what they have worked hard for years in Hollywood. To be honest, it is not easy to be you, I don’t know if those acting skills are not enough How can a guy who is only flirtatious and has no outstanding appearance think they can become the next you? These days, the Teen Choice Award must have a female first and female second to have a chance to win, Oscar? Humph!"

"During this period, Sharon Stone actually contacted me through the top management of the Endeavor Elite. After the release of "Basic Instinct 2", there were rave reviews. The audience no longer remembered her sex appeal and beauty in the first film, but was attracted by her old appearance. The skin and the horrible voice made me take a few steps back." Lynn smiled, "It is said that she may be selected for the Golden Raspberry this time, and she is very likely to win, so she approached me and hoped that I would become her manager again .”

Ebert drank a cup of tea: "Do you feel refreshed now?"

"One thing, she told me that she doesn't mind sleeping with me at all, and she has been tempting me with provocative words. But I have been bitten to death by a wolf once, how could I be easily fooled?"

Ebert snorted softly: "Maybe your flirtatious habit makes her feel very hopeful. Lynn, as your artist and friend, I really want to tell you that you are old, why don't you find a girlfriend to settle down and entertain The glitz and chaos in the world can easily destroy a person. Why do many people like to live a life of luxury and luxury, because they lack love."

"I found that after being with Leonardo, you became a philosopher, Ebert, I am very rational, and I know what I want." Lynn shook his head, "I was thinking, is it I have reached a period of burnout now, I have no enthusiasm for my career, I seem to have everything, but I am not worried about losing it."

"No, it's not enough. I haven't won an Oscar yet. Even if I got the first one, I would like to win the second and the third. My ambition has always been great, so as my agent, your Ability and actions must match my ambitions. It is far from meeting my expectations, not enough."
