[US Entertainment] Actor

As a nominee for the comedy department, Ebert was arranged at a table far away from Leonardo. Sitting with him were all members of the "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" crew, including the producer and director. , screenwriter and actress Kate Winslet.Although the number of film nominations at the Golden Globe Awards is not many, the awards are heavy, so they are not arranged in the second row, but in the corner of the first row.

As for Leonardo and the "Aviator" crew, they were arranged at the table in the middle, which just echoed the awards stage.At the 62nd Golden Globe Awards, the crew of "The Aviator" received a total of 6 nominations for Best Drama, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Screenplay, and Best Original Soundtrack. There are only 2 more than "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind", but when it comes to the number of nominees, "The Aviator" is far behind "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind".

Even the soundtrack, "The Aviator" uses masters like Howard Shaw.Howard Shaw is well-known in the field of Hollywood soundtracks, and the soundtrack he designed for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy made him even more famous and won Oscar's favor.Before "The Lord of the Rings", Howard Shaw had already worked on soundtracks for films such as "The Silence of the Lambs", "The Seven Deadly Sins", and "Gangs of New York". He was very good at using music to create eerie situations and horror atmospheres. It is also the consistent impression that movie fans have of him, but after the success of the "Lord of the Rings" series, Howard Shaw's genius creativity reversed the views of music fans and movie fans on him, and further expanded his creative field.

Martin Scorsese probably wouldn't have considered him as a scorer for his last two works had he remained eerie.

Sitting behind Ebert is the "Soul Singer" crew. "Soul Singer" has received a total of 2 nominations at this year's Golden Globe Awards, which are Best Comedy Picture and Best Actor. The situation of the film at this year's Golden Globe Awards is not good, but in Ebert's impression, it is Jamie Foxx who won this year's Oscar winner. Of course, the number of nominations has nothing to do with whether the film itself is popular. It has nothing to do with it. For example, "Gangs of New York" two years ago and "Cold Mountain" last year. Judging from the number of nominations, the two films were very impressive, but in the end, they almost became the biggest upset of the entire awards ceremony.

In fact, there are only three films with the most momentum at the Golden Globe Awards this year, "The Aviator", "Sideways" and "Million Dollar Baby".Although the cost of the latter is not high, Clint Eastwood is still there. Although last year's "Mystic River" did not win the best picture, it won Sean Penn and Tim Robbins. This year's Hilary Swank performed equally well in "Million Dollar Baby" and is considered the most likely nominee to win the Oscar Queen.

If Hillary can be crowned Oscar winner again, she will become one of the few actresses in Oscar history who can win an award just by being nominated.

In fact, at the Oscars next month, Hilary Swank actually pulled off the feat.

The most successful Oscar queen in history is undoubtedly Katharine Hepburn, who has won 4 awards. She has received 12 Oscar nominations in total. Although Meryl Streep has surpassed her in number of nominations, in terms of awards, Meryl I have only won 2 trophies so far.In "The Aviator", Cate Blanchett played the role of Katharine Hepburn, and he was able to win the Oscar supporting actress to a large extent due to the legend created by the actress-the nostalgic Oscar judge We still remember the golden age of Hollywood, where the light and shadow interlaced and the excellent films came out one after another. The Oscar judges are willing to vote twice for Cate Blanchett just because of the name of Katharine Hepburn.

Although Hilary Swank's achievements cannot be compared with Katharine Hepburn's, she is enough to write her name in the glorious Oscar history just because she was nominated twice and won the award twice.

Ebert had a pleasant cooperation with Hilary Swank in "White Night", and the two have kept in touch after the filming of the film. After the release of "Million Dollar Baby", Ebert also went to Having seen the movie in theaters, his opinion is that Hilary Swank's performance is absolutely worthy of her two Oscars.

The acquaintance Johnny Depp was far away from Ebert this time. Johnny gestured at Ebert from a distance to say hello, and Ebert responded with a smile. It rang.

Ebert turned on the phone and clicked on the message - "Are you flirting with Johnny again?"

Ebert raised his eyebrows and replied, "I don't even mind you hugging Kate face to face."

"That's etiquette—"

"It's also a form of etiquette for me to say hello to Johnny."

"But he is 'the gayest pirate in history', don't forget that you have a boyfriend, it's better to stay away from other men."

Ebert's eyebrows moved, he pressed the phone, and typed a few words: "We should be far away from each other, how did you see me greet Johnny, did you bring a telescope, or was it because— —You're watching me all the time?"

Ebert slowly put away the phone and put it back in his pocket.Based on what he knew about Leonardo, the possibility of that guy sending a message to reply to his words is zero.

Sure enough, Ebert's cell phone didn't ring again until the awards ceremony started.

Johnny Depp has been enjoying himself in recent years.His decision to take on the role of Jack Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was described by many media as "stupid", and Disney CEO Michael Eisner's criticism pushed him to the forefront, but the final result proved that this The decision couldn't have been more correct! In his 40s, he returned to the ranks of first-line male stars, and his salary also fluctuated around 2000 million. When most male stars of the same age are going downhill, he can go all the way up, as long as the follow-up "Pirates of the Caribbean" can still maintain a high level. Quality, Johnny Depp thinks he can be popular for at least 10 years.

In terms of awards, he also gained a lot. Last year he received his first Oscar nomination. This year's "Finding Neverland" also received a lot of praise from the critics. He was also considered by professionals to be likely to receive his second. Oscar nomination.

Accompanied by a burst of music, the much-anticipated 62nd American Film and Television Golden Globe Awards slowly kicked off. Since it was the second time to attend, compared with the jerky first time, Ebert seemed to be able to handle it with ease, even if the host wanted to Bring up the topic to joke with him, and he can easily respond.

When interviewed on the red carpet, when the host asked him about his vision for tonight, Ebert only modestly stated his desire for the Golden Globes, but in fact, he really hoped that he could win the trophy.Joel is a role that he spends a lot of energy on, and it is also the role he has invested the most since he made a movie. Ebert hopes that his efforts can be worthy of a good ending.

Kate Winslet listened to the host's introduction for a while, then turned to Ebert and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Ebert shook his head: "What about you?"

"Of course I'm not nervous. This is my fourth nomination. The Golden Globes are not stingy at all. They are willing to nominate me again and again, but they won't let me win." Kate stuck out her tongue, "Every time Come with hope and return with disappointment.”

Kate Winslet's previous Golden Globe nominations were firmly tied to Oscar nominations, but in neither case was she the one the judges really favored.

She was used to being disappointed again and again.

In fact, compared to the Oscars, the Golden Globes are somewhat crueler.The Oscars only have 5 shortlists a year. It is an honor for actors to be shortlisted, but the Golden Globe Awards has 10 shortlists. I have to face the tragic ending of appearing diligently at the awards ceremony many times, but getting nothing.

It's fine if you can't touch it at all like the Oscars, but the Golden Globes can always be touched, but you can't always win the trophy.

For example, the actress Scarlett Johansson who was shortlisted again this year, Scarlett Johansson has received 3 Golden Globe nominations from last year to this year. The one who gets the most attention, but she never really enjoys the taste of winning.

For the actors themselves, this is also a great torment.

At the beginning, two trophies for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress were awarded. Clive Owen and Natalie Portman of "Stealing Heart" shared these two awards. The male and female protagonists Jude Law and Julia Roberts performed mediocrely and did not appear on the Golden Globe nomination list, but the two supporting actors performed well and won two supporting actor trophies at once.

For Natalie Portman, this trophy is also the best compliment to her.This actress has always been known for her outstanding acting talent in Hollywood. When she was 13 years old, "This Killer Is Not So Cold" was regarded as a classic. In terms of awards, except for "The End of the Heart" in 2000, she won Apart from a Golden Globe nomination, she hardly has any awards to prove her acting skills. Compared with fellow child star Kirsten Dunst who was nominated for a Golden Globe at the age of 12, Natalie Portman seems Only slightly better in popularity.

Desires are constantly growing.When an actor is unknown, what he expects may be to play a resident role in a certain TV series, or to become an experienced actor, but when he gradually grows into a supporting role or even a leading role, he begins to desire his own The movie can be an instant hit and set a box office record, and when he really became a first-line star, he began to yearn for awards, eager to get the double verification of box office and acting skills.

This is a path that almost every movie star will inevitably choose.

Why did Leonardo cling to Martin Scorsese, why did Jim Carrey take over "The Truman Show", why Will Smith, who has always appeared on the screen as a tough guy, chose to be tender "When Happiness Comes Knocking", all because they are eager to win awards.

The box office is profitable, and the awards are famous. Even big stars are eager for both fame and fortune.
