[US Entertainment] Actor

On both sides of the red carpet, fans who were stopped by the huge signboard of the Golden Globes cheered one after another.

As soon as he got out of the car, Ebert was stunned by the bustling scene inside the red carpet - people everywhere, although movie fans and fans have been blocked from the red carpet, on the red carpet, nominated stars, The award presenters, invited celebrities and family members of the stars gathered around a small area to communicate. At the premiere of "Pirate", I have never experienced such a compact feeling of a group of people.

That's what Ebert had in mind as a first-timer on the Golden Globes red carpet.

But despite thinking so, Ebert still expressed his demeanor to the extreme.He waved his hands to the fans on both sides of the red carpet cooperatively, which drew sharp shouts from the female fans.

As a rare young face on the red carpet, Ebert naturally attracted much attention.The most important thing is that he is not a second-generation star who comes to the red carpet with his parents, nor is he a singer who performs in the middle of the ceremony. He is a nominee for Best Actor in a Drama Series, one of the most important awards of the night.

Russell Crowe, Tom Cruise and other regulars of the Golden Globe Awards are already full of reporters taking pictures. Ebert may still be a new face for the Golden Globe Awards, but as a best actor nominee, since he boarded the At the moment of the red carpet, he attracted the attention of all parties. After taking a few photos at the special photo spot on the red carpet, Ebert, who walked to the end of the red carpet, quickly accepted a short interview with two red carpet hosts. .

"Congratulations on your nomination, Ebert, your outfit today is so handsome, you are like a shining golden ball, nothing can block your brilliance."

Ebert said with a smile: "Thank you, I am very honored to be able to participate in the Golden Globes. This is something I have always dreamed of."

The male host changed the topic to Ebert's outlook tonight: "This is the first time you have been nominated for a Golden Globe, and your performance has been unanimously praised by the association. I hope you will be successful tonight. I wish you a happy .”

"Thank you."

The Golden Globes red carpet lasted a total of 40 minutes. Ebert walked the red carpet relatively in the front order, which gave him more time to chat with friends to pass the time.

It was rare to meet old man Al, so Ebert naturally wanted to have a good chat with him.

"I specially went to the theater to watch "The Age of Pentium", boy, you are much better than when we first met!" The TV movie "Angels Beside Me" starring Al the old man won him a nomination for the best actor in a TV movie , but Al did not pretend to be relaxed like those big stars on the red carpet who were clearly nervous to death. It's hard to move him—a first Oscar nomination might bring tears to his eyes, but eight?Oh, the rebellious old man doesn't like the so-called judges who don't understand the long-winded fart to point fingers at him.

Although "Scent of a Woman" won him his first Oscar in 93, he always remembered the painful reality that he was nominated for an Oscar for four consecutive years after 73, but the judges were stingy in giving him a trophy.

TV movies, or miniseries in general, don't get much attention at the Golden Globes.Movie fans are concerned about the winners of the best actor and actress, and housewives are concerned about whether their favorite TV series is favored by the awards, but the attention of TV and movies sandwiched between the two is often greatly reduced.

"Angels Beside Me" is a 6-hour TV movie.However, although it is a TV movie, the configuration of this show is Hollywood's top.Director Mike Nichols does not seem to have much fame in North America in recent years, but when his work is mentioned, everyone will suddenly realize it.

The "Graduate", which has influenced countless young people, was the work of this 72-year-old director when he was 34 years old, and he won the Oscar for Best Director in the second year for this.In addition to "The Graduate", the director's most famous works include "Spiritual Desire", "Farewell to the Loved One", etc. He is definitely a true master in grasping the characters' psychology and emotions.

In terms of actors, in addition to Al Pacino, the heroine is the famous Meryl Streep. The greatest actress in Hollywood in recent decades has contributed a very good performance in this TV movie.

In fact, Al Pacino and Meryl Streep are already the default candidates for the male and female protagonists in the TV and film department, where the competitiveness has not been very strong.

For old man Al's cold praise, Ebert just shrugged: "Al, I was guided by you."

Al Pacino snorted softly, and quickly turned his back to ignore Ebert, but the corners of his slightly raised lips still revealed his emotions.

The old man has always been not very popular with critics and entertainment media. They like to use words such as "arrogant", "eccentric" and "solitary" to describe his character, even in movies. It is the image of a villain, a thug.But now, with the rise of Ebert, everyone knows that Ebert's performance in "White Night Chaser" was strongly recommended by Mr. Al, and there are fewer descriptions of his withdrawn personality in the media. On the contrary, they He began to praise him for his "wisdom eye and knowledge of pearls".

Al has always sneered at the media's remarks, but he is quite proud of the fact that he discovered Ebert.

Although relying on Ebert's acting skills and face, he can succeed without Al's recommendation, but seeing the young people he is optimistic about can gain a firm foothold in this industry step by step, as an actor of the older generation, he is very satisfied additional contributions to the industry.

Young actors are the future of Hollywood.

In fact, Ebert's Golden Globe nomination brought him too many benefits that he could not imagine.The first is the one-sided praise from the media. Even the "National Enquirer", which has been devoting all its energy to Black Ebert, had to weakly shout twice for Ebert during this period.

In the case of "The Pentium Era" has fallen behind ahead of schedule, Ebert can still be nominated for the best actor in the drama category, which is already a very difficult thing, especially when the average age of other nominees is over 40 years old case.

In addition, the meaning of a nomination is far more than a brief appearance on the red carpet and being a standard puppet at the awards ceremony. For Ebert, this means more opportunities to play leading roles, especially When he can both be nominated for an award and bring a high box office to the movie.

Investors value his ability to attract moviegoers. He has the appearance that even if he stands there, the dollar will automatically fall. This, coupled with the honor of being nominated for the Golden Globe Award, makes him a unique candidate for the leading actor in commercial blockbusters. .

A senior reporter of "Entertainment Weekly" couldn't help but sighed: "When he stood here, I seemed to see Tom Cruise in "Top Gun", just as handsome, youthful, and with a bright future."

Speaking of this, Mr. Reporter couldn't help but sighed softly.

Everyone around him knew he was lamenting Tom Cruise. Tom Cruise, who fascinated thousands of girls in the 80s, has been stagnating in his career in recent years. His belief in the so-called Scientology has caused him to lose many fans. Various reports after his divorce from Nicole Kidman also Let the 42-year-old superstar be devastated.

Johnny Depp, who is only 1 year younger than him, won the second spring of his career with "Pirates of the Caribbean". Looks a little frustrated.

His colleague patted him on the shoulder: "Brother, who knows what will happen in the future?"

Hollywood is the place where the stars are the most shining but also the most dim in the world.Winona Ryder, Macaulay Culkin...who were not once famous superstars, but now, who still remembers them?

24 years old is indeed the best age, career breakthrough, everyone praises, this is the best start.

But no one can guarantee what will happen ten or twenty years later. Maybe Ebert is a meteor that falls quickly, maybe he can become the brightest star in Hollywood history. Who can say for sure?

While waiting for the opening of the awards ceremony, Ebert and other members of the crew of "The Pentium Era" were led to their seats by the staff.Then, with the lights flickering and music blaring, Meryl Streep was first on the podium to present the Best Supporting Actor award.

Different from the dazzling stage effects of later generations, although the stage of the Golden Globe Awards in 04 was considered gorgeous, the space of the entire podium was much smaller than that of later generations. There was no big screen for the audience to familiarize themselves with the performances of the actors when the awards were presented. Standing alone on the stage, the nominees were announced one after another.

Meryl Streep still had brown hair at this time, and Meryl looked very young at this time compared to the image of the Iron Lady who was more familiar to Ebert in later generations.

William H. Macy, the crew of "The Pentium Age", was nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. "The crew is the only actor other than Ebert to be nominated.

But unfortunately, the best supporting actor award was eventually won by Tim Robbins.

Tim Robbins looks much older than in "The Shawshank Redemption" 10 years ago. Although this movie was regarded as a classic in film history by later generations of fans, it did not bring Tim a big breakthrough in his career.This year's "Mystic River" finally brought back a round for Tim in the awards. Although he has become the most familiar face to movie fans around the world because of the image of Andy the banker, Tim is far behind in the recognition of awards in the same period. other actors.
